On February 10, the Korean news site Hankook Ilbo claimed that Hellbound actor Yoo Ah-in had tested positive for marijuana. The actor from Seoul Vibe, who is now being investigated for illegally using Propofol, tested positive for marijuana but negative for Propofol. According to a medical expert who talked to Hankook Ilbo on the condition of anonymity, Yoo Ah-in testing positive suggests he has been ingesting it for a long time since Propofol departs the body within four days of consumption. “Marijuana’s THC does not emerge on tests 7-10 days after it has been consumed. He looks to have lately consumed marijuana”.

Yoo Ah-agency in’s pretended to be unaware that the actor had tested positive for marijuana.
Yoo Ah-in was forced to take a urine test, which revealed that he had Marijuana in his system. Marijuana is difficult to detect in a urine test after 7-10 days, thus he most likely used the substance lately. When approached, the actor’s agency, United Artists Agency (UAA), declined to confirm whether or not the actor tested positive for marijuana. They pretended to be unaware of the continuous media allegations concerning his drug misuse.
They affirmed that they would fully assist with the police inquiry and that Yoo Ah-in will draft a strong statement explaining his position and side of the story.
“We’ve never heard of (Yoo Ah In) testing positive for marijuana. Aside from that, our position remains unchanged from our earlier statement. We will aggressively assist with the police inquiry while also actively working on what may be explained.”
The Hellbound actor was recently questioned by police for reportedly ingesting Propofol, a sleep and anesthetic medicine that is forbidden in South Korea save for surgical treatments. When taken in small dosages, it works as a sedative, putting the user in a semi-conscious condition. Pain at the injection site, nausea, coughing, hypotension, intense itching, hypertension, and a tingling feeling are among the adverse effects. At the time, his agency indicated that they (the agency and Yoo Ah-in) will completely cooperate with the police inquiry. According to several media sources, the Korean police and medical authorities have been following and monitoring Yoo Ah-in for quite some time.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency summoned the Chicago Typewriter actor a few days ago for an alleged breach of the Narcotics Control Act. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety had asked police to look into Yoo Ah-suspected in’s drug usage. He has also been barred from leaving the country. After being told off about him purchasing the aforementioned medicine from several hospitals, it is suspected he has been ingesting Propofol on a regular basis since 2021. The Hellbound actress was one of 51 persons on the Korean government’s watch list for drug addiction. The authorities are broadening their probe by checking and analyzing hospitals in Seoul’s Gangnam and Yongsan districts.
Yoo Ah-present in’s and future projects are said to be in jeopardy.
Because the actor tested positive for marijuana, the market believes that his present and future ventures are jeopardized. The actor is most known for his roles in critically praised films and dramas such as Burning, Hellbound, Chicago Typewriter, and Seoul Vibe. This year, he will appear in Netflix’s Goodbye Earth, The Match, and Hi.5. Because of the dispute, his projects are said to be on hold. However, Netflix has not yet settled on a release date or filming dates, and has not responded to media inquiries.
