Yoo Ah In's Friends Booked With Criminal Charges
After his successful return to the small screen with the Netflix series "Seoul Vibe," Yoo Ah In made headlines for the wrong reasons after authorities revealed that the prolific actor was being investigated for illegal drug abuse. He was then barred from leaving the country as the investigation continued.
Yoo Ah In also underwent drug tests, which turned out to be positive for four types of substances: hemp or marijuana, propofol, cocaine, and ketamine.
Due to this, Yoo Ah In lost brand endorsements after companies cut ties with the actor. In addition, he also stepped down from his role in "Hellbound 2," and was replaced by Kim Sung Cheol, who would continue his role as cult leader Jung Jin Soo.
Following his first public appearance in April, after coming out of the 12-hour investigation, Yoo Ah In expressed his apologies to the media and fans as he bowed his head.
"I deeply regret that I have caused great disappointment to many people who have loved me while standing here because of an unfortunate incident," he said.
