Yoo Ah In’s Investigation into Illegal Propofol Abuse Tied to Broader Sweep of Over 50 Individuals Identified by the Ministry of Food and Drug
Looks like the system Korea has in place to investigate illegal use of prescription drugs is working. K-actor Yoo Ah In is under investigation for illegal propofol abuse and his agency has said he is fully cooperating. Turns out his name was merely one of over 50 individuals identified by the state Ministry of Food and Drug Safety after they checked hospital and clinic records of prescription drug use and frequency. Turns out Yoo Ah In has been abusing propofol since 2021 and went to 12 different hospital to get the prescription, so-called hospital shopping so as to not arouse suspicion of using it too much from one place. The MFDA checked the records of all the hospitals and names that showed up in various places with the same type of drug prescription did in fact arouse suspicion and led to this broad investigation. I don’t know why anyone who abuse propofol as it just puts you to mega sleep and not in a good way but whatever issues Yoo Ah In has I hope he gets help for it.
Depending on dosage, propofol can give you the standard feelings of being high that you get from coke or other stuff. You have to use in high dosage to induce deep anesthetic effects and most addicts use it on controlled mild dosage. If he used it the way you describe it, he is just an addict and I hope he checks into a rehab asap.
