Hellbound star Yoo Ah In tests positive for marijuana during police investigation regarding propofol use
Yoo Ah In finds himself in hot water once again as he tests positive for marijuana during his ongoing drug usage investigation.

However, propofol was negative.
Yoo Ah In’s test:
Citing the words of a drug expert, the media said, "Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main component of hemp, is usually not detected in urine after 7 to 10 days." told In addition, in the case of propofol, it disappears from the body after 3 or 4 days, and it is difficult to confirm with a urine test. Yoo Ah In is currently under police investigation for habitual use of propofol. The police launched an investigation after finding out that Yoo Ah-in had been prescribed propofol at various hospitals since 2021.
The investigation:
The police met Yoo Ah In at Incheon International Airport, who was returning from the United States on February 5th, and executed a body search warrant.

UAA’s response:
Regarding Yoo Ah In's allegations of marijuana smoking, the agency has yet to reveal its position. On February 8th, when the news that Yoo Ah In was being investigated by the police for allegedly using propofol was first announced, UAA, Yoo Ah In's agency, said, "We are actively cooperating with all investigations and will actively explain the problematic part."

We have nothing to say other than the official position above."
