The Chinese have been calling K-actor Yoo Ah In‘s drug use arrest scandal the case of someone holding a winning hand and making a terrible bet with it. That sounds about right because his career was cemented at the top of Chungmuro among his age group and he could even do K-dramas whenever he felt like it, but with this … Continue reading →
I wish Yoo Ah In‘s drug use scandal and investigation only impacted him but alas there is such collateral damage with it. He had multiple movies and dramas already filmed scheduled to be released and as such the production companies have to decide how to salvage the situation. Netflix for Hellbound 2 recast him with Kim Sung Cheol since filming … Continue reading →

During questioning … Continue reading →
I don’t know what kind of (bad) luck for the Netflix movie The Match to be now stuck in this frustrating position.

I was thinking that Yoo Ah In‘s arrest and investigation into propofol abuse was probably the wake up call he needed but now I think it probably saved his life. K-ent is reporting that his propofol use was 73 times over the course of one year and the volume was 4400 milliliters worth. They have averaged that out to around … Continue reading →
I’m sorry but the drug use story around Yoo Ah In continues to get worse and it’s both shocking and heartbreaking as someone who watched him go from a young promising rookie over ten years ago to an A-list movie star.

This is so been there done that in C-ent, the moment a scandal breaks the star is dropped like a hot potato by brands AND on the hook thereafter for penalties stemming from breach of contract with the image and morality clause.

But now K-netizens are saying its unfathomable levels of un-re-watchable with only one remaining non-scandal ridden star among the four leads namely Song Joong Ki. With Yoo Ah In‘s propofol investigation and Park … Continue reading →
