Popular actor Yoo Ah-in, known for his roles in several hit dramas and films, has been sentenced to one year in prison for habitual drug use, including propofol and marijuana. The Seoul Central District Court found Yoo guilty of violating the Narcotics Control Act, citing 181 instances of propofol use, marijuana smoking, and the illegal purchase of sleeping pills under false names. Alongside the prison sentence, he was fined over 3.5 million won and mandated to complete 80 hours of drug rehabilitation. Yoo expressed deep regret, apologizing for causing concern to the public, while his emotional state and history of depression were taken into account during sentencing.
This shocking decision comes after months of intense scrutiny and public outrage. The court noted that Yoo showed a lack of awareness of the dangers of drugs and displayed a disregard for regulations. Meanwhile, the entertainment industry is reeling from the news, with Yoo’s projects halted and his future uncertain. With the court's decision to detain him immediately to prevent potential flight, this case marks a turning point in how celebrity drug use is viewed and handled in South Korea.
