All you need to know about Yoo Ah In’s drug case

In a shocking turn of events on February 8, 2023, Yoo Ah In faced police questioning for propofol use, pledging full cooperation through his agency UAA. Subsequent investigations revealed positive urine test results for marijuana, prompting advertisers to swiftly withdraw support, impacting international brands. The scandal also disrupted Yoo's upcoming projects, including Netflix's The Match, Hi.5 in post-production, and Goodbye Earth scheduled for later in 2023. On February 23, detailed hair analysis confirmed propofol, marijuana, cocaine, and ketamine presence. Consequently, Yoo was replaced in Hellbound's second season. The scandal not only shook the actor's career but also sparked widespread public and industry attention. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 4 KST, where the court will determine the final verdict.
