Netflix takes no additional stance on Yoo Ah-in's marijuana test
On the 10th, a Netflix official told Ten Asia regarding the report that Yoo Ah-in tested positive for marijuana, "As the investigation is ongoing, we have no position to provide additional information," and added, "It will likely be resolved only after the investigation is completed."
On this day, the Hankook Ilbo reported that Yoo Ah-in tested positive for 'marijuana' in a drug analysis conducted by the National Institute of Forensic Science. According to reports, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's drug crime investigation team conducted a detailed drug analysis at the National Forensic Service and found that urine tested positive for regular marijuana and negative for propofol. The police expanded the investigation into Yoo Ah-in's alleged marijuana use.
Yoo Ah-in is scheduled to release the movie 'The Victory' (directed by Kim Hyung-joo) and the series 'The Fool of the End' (screenplay by Jeong Seong-ju and director Kim Jin-min) on Netflix this year. The movie 'High Five' (directed by Kang Hyeong-cheol) is also scheduled to be released on screen this year.
Among them, 'Seungseob' is in the public lineup for the upcoming second quarter. Setbacks are inevitable as lead actor Yoo Ah-in tests positive for marijuana. 'The Battle' is a movie depicting the inevitable match between two legends of Korean baduk, Jo Hoon-hyeon (Lee Byung-hun) and Lee Chang-ho (Yoo Ah-in), who were teacher, disciple, and rival.
'The Fool of the End' and 'High Five' are also scheduled to be released this year, making it difficult to avoid the fallout.
