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.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
