Actor Yoo Ah In is in the spotlight as his ongoing trial reveals his struggle with severe depression.

During the fifth trial session for Yoo Ah In, who’s facing charges for habitual drug use, a psychiatrist took the stand to testify that Yoo was prescribed narcotics due to severe depression symptoms.

The proceedings took place on May 14 at the Seoul Central District Court’s 25th Criminal Division, presided by Chief Judge Ji Gwi-yeon.

Yoo and his acquaintance, artist Choi (33), are currently under indictment under the Narcotics Control Law, including charges of marijuana smoking and incitement, as well as tampering with evidence.

Dr. Oh, the psychiatrist testifying as a witness, shared that Yoo had visited his office 46 times over four years, from June 29, 2021, to 2024.

He revealed, “Yoo had difficulty sleeping, felt chronic depression, and experienced heart palpitations and discomfort when meeting people.”

Dr. Oh further detailed, “Yoo talked about wanting to flee from filming sites and had thoughts about death. He expressed feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and lack of concentration, which I recorded in his chart.”

He also noted that unlike other celebrities who discuss drug prescriptions and sleep management, Yoo spent one to two hours in consultation expressing his depressive symptoms, which were of a severe nature.

Meanwhile, Yoo has denied allegations that he encouraged his acquaintance to use drugs. Speaking to reporters while attending court, Yoo refuted claims that he had recommended marijuana smoking to an acquaintance, stating, “It is not true.”

During the fourth trial last month, a well-known YouTuber and acquaintance of Yoo testified, “Yoo suggested that it was time for me to try smoking marijuana.” Yoo is also charged with administering propofol 180 times from 2020 to 2022 and illegally obtaining sleeping pills under another person’s name on approximately 40 occasions.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
