In August 2022, Defendant Yoo Appeared at a Netflix Event.A top South Korean actor has been sentenced to four years in prison. On July 24, at the Seoul Central District Court, a sentencing hearing was held for actor Yoo Ah-in (37), who is charged with violations of drug control laws. The prosecution argued that a four-year prison sentence and a fine of 2 million won (approximately 220,000 yen) were appropriate. “Defendant Yoo reportedly received anesthesia injections 181 times under the pretext of cosmetic procedures from doctors and others. Additionally, over approximately one year from May 2021, he was prescribed about 1,100 sleeping pills under other people’s names on 44 occasions. In the U.S., he is said to have used marijuana with four friends,” said a South Korean newspaper reporter. ‘FRIDAY Digital’ covered the illegal drug use allegations against Defendant Yoo in detail in an article published on March 6 of last year. This article will revisit those details and the shocking behavior of Yoo, such as sweating profusely during TV appearances (some content has been revised). Prescribed Sedatives Total 4.4 Liters  Over the course of one year, sedatives prescribed at hospitals amounted to over 4.4 liters in total. South Korean celebrity Yoo is undergoing intense police interrogation for excessive drug administration. The food and drug safety authorities have questioned the frequency with which Yoo was prescribed the sedative propofol, leading them to request an investigation by the police. “Following a request, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Drug Crime Investigation Unit executed a search warrant at Incheon International Airport on February 5 of last year, after Defendant Yoo returned from the U.S. They conducted a preliminary urine test, which showed a positive reaction for tetrahydrocannabinol, the main component of marijuana. Additionally, an examination of hair samples by the National Forensic Service revealed the presence of four types of narcotic substances, including marijuana, propofol, cocaine, and ketamine. The police believe Yoo was using drugs regularly and have continued their investigation,” said a South Korean newspaper reporter. Defendant Yoo is a top actor representing South Korea. He has appeared in numerous works, including the film ‘Antique’ and the drama ‘Can’t Marry,’ and has received several awards, including the Best Actor Award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for ‘The King’s Fate.’ He boasts high popularity in Japan, where he has held multiple fan meetings.
