Actor Yoo Ah-in, facing charges of habitual drug use, appeared in court with a somewhat haggard appearance
The trial took place on December 12th. Yoo Ah-in, whose hair has grown quite long and face has become thin, attracted attention.
The Criminal Agreement Division 25-1 of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judges Park Jung-gil, Park Jung-je, Ji Gwi-yeon) held the first trial for Yoo Ah-in, who has been indicted on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act (habitual drug use), marijuana smoking, aiding and abetting the destruction of evidence, and more.
On this day, Yoo Ah-in said, “I’m sincerely sorry to those who have been worried about me during this time. I’ll faithfully participate in the remaining trial process.”
Yoo Ah-in’s first public appearance after the drug controversy was on March 27th this year, when he attended the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug crime investigation unit for questioning as a suspect. On that day, Yoo Ah-in wore a black suit and white T-shirt, looking emaciated due to his severe stress.
On May 17th, wearing a black shirt and the same color suit, Yoo Ah-in underwent a 21-hour second police investigation at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug crime investigation unit. He briefly stated, “I said what I could during the investigation. I’m sorry for causing concern.“
A week later, on May 24th, Yoo Ah-in attended a warrant deliberation at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul. This time, he appeared in a white shirt, black tie and black suit. His hairstyle was similar to before, but longer. He addressed the allegations, “I admit a considerable part of the charges. There was no attempt to help the accomplice escape.“
On September 21st, Yoo Ah-in attended a pre-trial examination before arrest at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul, wearing a white shirt, black tie and black suit. He confessed, “I’m truly sorry for causing great concern. I’ll sincerely answer in court and express my opinions honestly.“
