Update: February 24, 2023
Previously, on February 8, 2023, actor Yoo Ah-in came under scrutiny for illegal propofol use. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency called Yoo, 36, in for questioning and a drug test on February 5. While the urine sample tested positive for marijuana, a hair follicle analysis still needed to be complete.
On February 23, 2023, Yooâs hair follicle analysis showed the Voice of Silence actor did have propofol in his system. As a result of the report, Seoul Metropolitan Police called Yoo in for questioning again.
When the investigation began, the police also performed a search and seizure of several clinics and hospitals including plastic surgery hospitals in Gangnam looking for evidence and medical records. Yoo as well as up to 50 others fell under suspicion of using propofol, prompting the investigation. Police believe Yooâs been actively taking propofol since at least 2021.
Yooâs agency, United Arts Agency, said, âYoo Ah In was recently investigated by the police for propofol. We are actively cooperating with all investigations in this regard and we plan to actively explain any parts that are of issue. We apologize for causing concern.”
Update:
On February 24, MBCâs News Desk stated, “There were three types of drug ingredients detected through the actor’s hair that was tested through the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. There was another type of drug that was detected in addition to propofol, which the actor was suspected of first and marijuana.”
Yooâs agency responded to the report stating, “We have inquired the police several times about the reports that were made about the third drug substance. However, we only received the answer ‘We cannot tell you’. We ask for your understanding that we cannot arbitrarily reveal our position based only on media reports in the absence of any official information from the police. We have not received any information regarding the future investigation schedule but we will faithfully cooperate and receive investigation as soon as the schedule was set.”
Yoo has yet to comment himself. Stay tuned for more updates as the investigation continues.
