K-drama actor Yoo Ah-in's alleged illegal drug usage case
In May 2023, the South Korean police raided the house of the famous Korean star, Yoo Ah-in, who has starred in several works including Burning, Hellbound, etc. The raid revealed the actor's alleged possession of illegal drugs including marijuana.
Given the recreational purpose of drugs for Korean citizens, even outside the borders of the country, is heavily stigmatized, Yoo Ah-in was immediately taken under arrest. Though there were allegations of his cocaine usage, the actor denied his usage of the same and police weren't able to find proof.
After a run-through of drug tests and a confession from the actor himself, his drug usage was confirmed. He had also used drugs such as Propofol, ketamine, and Zolpidem, to help with his sleeping and other medical reasons. He's still undergoing trial for the case and further investigations regarding his drug usage are still being undertaken.
Regardless, fans are excited and curious about the actor's return to the screens with the upcoming Netflix K-drama series, Goodbye Earth.
