I still remember 10 years ago when K-stars for whatever reason starting to actually run afoul of the law and there were perp walks to the police station or heading to trial and swarms of media outside. Covering those moments felt so wild and fans were so bereft at reconciling their fave maybe doing something bad to really bad on … Continue reading →
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.

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 →

Police have revealed today that actor Yoo Ah In has also tested positive for cocaine and ketamine in his drug test taken when he was first investigated.

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.

I think the situation getting more serious for K-actor Yoo Ah In is hopefully what can get him help for the long run, because propofol abuse is a really serious medical misconduct.
