Yoo Ah In faced his third trial at the Seoul Central District Court on March 5, accompanied by his acquaintance ‘A,’ both indicted for alleged drug law violations. The actor is under suspicion of habitual abuse of propofol, midazolam, ketamine, and remimazolam, purportedly for sleep anaesthesia during cosmetic procedures, totalling 181 times.
He also faces charges of obtaining 40 prescriptions under others’ names, evidence destruction, and marijuana use.
During the trial, witness ‘D,’ a clothing business owner and longtime friend of Yoo Ah In, claimed to have procured drugs for the actor under his sister’s name. ‘D,’ a friend of 17 years, asserted that he used Yoo Ah In’s sister’s identity to obtain prescriptions for Stilnox tablets, a substance known for abuse.
‘D’ stated, “It seems I went to the hospital at Yoo Ah In’s request to receive it for his sister. I don’t remember the details.”
‘D’ is also implicated in providing funds for YouTuber ‘B’ to evade drug abuse accusations.
In a separate development, the doctor responsible for administering propofol to Yoo Ah In on multiple occasions now faces a potential 3-year prison sentence.
