The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit announced that they have summoned Yoo, who is suspected of habitual drug use, for questioning. Yoo arrived at the police station around 9:20 a.m. but did not respond to reporters' questions and entered the building. Yoo was originally scheduled to appear on the 24th, but requested a schedule adjustment from the police after the investigation date was made public by the media.
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 samples. Earlier, on the 5th of last month, the police executed a body search warrant on Yoo Ah-in at Incheon International Airport. At that time, a preliminary urine test showed a positive reaction for marijuana, and the police requested a detailed analysis from the National Forensic Service. Hair analysis can detect 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.
A police official stated, "We are currently questioning Yoo," adding, "The investigation is expected to continue until the afternoon."
