Authorities continue to investigate Yoo Ah In's drug case after the award-winning star was suspected of habitually using illegal substance.
Since the start of the investigation, the "Seoul Vibe" star underwent a series of tests as the Seoul Metropolitan Police looked into the case. However, it seemed like a never-ending probe for the South Korean top star after a media outlet revealed that Yoo Ah In used to visit clubs on a weekly basis along with some celebrity friends.

Although the outlet pointed out that the informant was "not 100 percent sure" if the actor was using drugs, the source claimed that Yoo Ah In and his group "are very suspicious."
Moreover, the outlet went to detail the group's activity and would start the night by partying at Lounge Bar "A" on a Saturday and would transfer to two other clubs with a reserved table in Club B.
"It smells different from ordinary cigarettes," the informant revealed, as noted by the outlet.
In addition, it also states that Yoo Ah In and his group "didn't order much alcohol, but it's strange that they were so drunk when they went out."
Authorities previously confirmed that the award-winning actor tested positive in four different types of drugs. It includes marijuana, propofol, cocaine, and ketamine, which are all illegal in South Korea.
Following his appearance at the Seoul Metropolitan Police, Yoo Ah In apologized for his actions. However, the police investigation continues.
Yoo Ah In Gets Involved in Itaewon Stampede
Prior to Yoo Ah In's drug scandal, the prolific actor got caught up in one of the biggest tragedies in Korea. It was after over 150 people were killed and 196 others got injured at the Itaewon stampede during the Halloween festivities.
At the time, it was believed that Korean influencers and celebrities were suspected of causing the tragedy as they attracted the crowd in the area.
Yoo Ah In, who lives within the area and was often spotted in Itaewon, denied his participation in the tragedy. The actor's agency, UAA, shut down rumors, saying that the actor was not in Korea when the tragedy happened.
"Yoo Ah In left on October 29 and is currently staying abroad. He has nothing to do with the Itaewon disaster," the agency said, as obtained by a media outlet.
