Actor Yoo Ah-in (38, real name Um Hong-sik), who was handed over to trial on charges of drug administration, was sentenced to one year in prison and arrested in court. Among them, Yoo Ah-in's yet-to-be-released works are again at risk of "indefinite acting".

The Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Department 25 (Judge Ji Gwi-yeon) sentenced a toddler accused of violating the Narcotics Control Act to a year in prison with a fine of 2 million won and a fine of about 1.54 million won. He also ordered the completion of an 80-hour drug rehabilitation education program.

The court said that the risk of recidivism is not low because the crime is committed by exploiting the loophole in the medical drug management method prescribed by law" he said. As for the reason for the arrest, "Since the defendant was sentenced to prison, I will arrest him in court for fear of escape."



Yoo Ah-in is said to have been sentenced and said "I'm sorry for causing concern and concern to many people." The prosecution previously demanded a four-year prison term, and Yoo Ah-in said in his defense, `I would like to deeply reflect on my wrongdoings and apologize. Through this incident, I had time to look back on my whole life. I pledge to live as a more responsible and mature human being."

Yoo Ah-in was indicted without detention on charges of habitual administration of medical propofol 181 times at hospitals in Seoul from September 2020 to March 2022. He is also accused of illegally buying 1,100 trips of sleeping pills in the name of another person 44 times between May 2021 and August 2022. In addition, he is accused of smoking marijuana in the United States with four accomplices, including Choi, an acquaintance, and teaching others to smoke.



With Yoo Ah-in in custody, his appearances are back on their feet. There are two more works besides the original Netflix series 'Die of the End', which was released in April. "As of now, the disclosure of 'Victory' is temporarily on hold," the film 'Victory' said. "We ask for your understanding that it is difficult to publicly disclose the details of the contract." Also, the situation is not different in the movie 'High Five'. As the release of the work is still unclear, production companies are also sighing deeply.
