Among the 51 people, actor Yoo Ah In is included. Recently, Yoo Ah In was investigated by the police on charges of habitual prescription of propofol for non-medical purposes from 2021.

In particular, when Yoo Ah In arrived from the United States on February 5th, his body was searched and his urine and hair samples were collected at the airport. The main component of cannabis was then detected in the results of a simple urine test, and a precise analysis has been requested by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NFS), said “Entertainment company Live”.
