Yoo Ah-in's embarrassment after '4 types of drug components detected'

Actor Kim Young-woong lamented about Yoo Ah-in, who was suspected of habitual use of propofol and was found to have four types of narcotics.

Kim Young-woong recently confessed, “How can I express it? The happy phone call with the casting news and the heart-fluttering memories of the first filming are all about to go to waste.”

He added, "Above all, the countless staff who were like grains of wheat gathered through patience and sacrifice. Also, the actors who worked together to make each character shine, and the director who was more earnest than anyone else."

Kim Young-woong said, "Also, the writer who did not give up writing even while fighting illness, and the production company who took charge of the production and took care of the site until the end. If his wrong actions are true, he is definitely the target of criticism. I have no intention of protecting or defending him. Of course, there must be a price." He said.

He also expressed his regret, saying, "I just can't bear it, and I'm afraid that the apocalyptic fool who was about to be born through the hard work and sacrifice of so many people will not see the light of day."

Kim Young-woong said, “I am thinking about how I will walk as a weak actor living in an era of chaos.”

Youngwoong Kim appeared as a supporting actor in the Netflix series ‘The Fool of the End’. 'The Fool of the End', which is about to be released, is in an awkward situation due to Yoo Ah-in being suspected of drug use. This is because four types of narcotic substances were detected in Yoo Ah-in.

Recently, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety requested the police to investigate, saying that Yoo Ah-in administered 4,497 mL of propofol 73 times from January 4, 2021 to December 23, 2021. On February 5, the police executed a search and seizure warrant for Yoo Ah-in's body at Incheon International Airport and conducted a quick urine test.

As a result of analysis by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, it was reported that three types of narcotic substances were detected in Yoo Ah-in's hair. Propofol, which was suspected of habitual use, as well as marijuana, which tested positive in urine, and another third drug were detected. The third drug ingredients were cocaine and ketamine.

Cocaine is highly addictive and hallucinogenic, so it is called one of the three major drugs along with methamphetamine and heroin. In addition, it was confirmed that medical staff were concerned about the frequent administration of propofol in several hospitals. The hospital director is known to have sent a warning message to Yoo Ah-in, saying, "You should not use anesthesia too much," and "You should not move from hospital to hospital."
