Yoo Ah In, the actor, has been accused of abusing propofol 181 times and pressuring a YouTuber to smoke marijuana, according to recent reports.
These details of Yoo Ah In's indictment have been made public on November 2nd. Previously, the actor was formally indicted on five different charges that included the habitual illegal use of propofol, midazolam, ketamine, and remimazolam.
The indictment states that Yoo Ah In had used a total of 9.6 liters of medical-grade propofol on 181 separate occasions, across 14 different hospitals, over a span of two years.
He is also alleged to have used 567 milligrams of midazolam, 10.7 milliliters of ketamine, and 200 milligrams of remimazolam.
Additionally, he acquired 1,150 sleeping pills through 44 transactions under another person's name. Yoo Ah In is facing accusations of involving others in drug use in an attempt to conceal his own.
After a YouTuber, referred to as 'A,' witnessed Yoo Ah In's marijuana use, the actor allegedly encouraged 'A' to try smoking as well. At first, 'A' declined, but eventually gave in and pretended to smoke after Yoo Ah In persisted and advised him to inhale deeper.
It is believed that Yoo Ah In did this in order to discourage 'A' from reporting him to the police, as 'A' would then have the drug in his system as well.
A senior judge, responsible for warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, has stated that there is circumstantial evidence indicating that Yoo Ah In recommended 'A' to smoke marijuana.
However, there is room for dispute as to whether he taught 'A' how to smoke marijuana. Updates on the case will be provided in due course.
