Actor Yoo Ah-in (real name Eom Hong-sik), who is accused of drug use, will appear at the police station for questioning on the 24th.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit announced on the 20th that Yoo, who is suspected of habitual drug use, will be summoned as a suspect for investigation on the upcoming Friday (24th).
The National Forensic Service recently informed the police of the detailed test results showing positive reactions for four types of drugs?marijuana, propofol, cocaine, and ketamine?from Yoo's hair and other samples. Earlier, on the 5th of last month, the police executed a body search warrant for Yoo Ah-in at Incheon International Airport. At that time, a preliminary urine test showed a positive reaction for marijuana, and a detailed analysis was requested from the National Forensic Service. Hair analysis can confirm drug use for up to one year depending on the length of the hair.
Searches and seizures were also conducted at Yoo's residence and other locations. On the 7th, the police carried out searches at two places, including Yoo's residence. On the 15th, Yoo's travel companion to the United States and his manager were summoned as witnesses for questioning.
