Yoo Ah In’s Supporters To File Defamation Amid Drug-Related Issue Against the Actor

Fans of Yoo Ah In plan to take legal action after the actor got involved in drug-related issues.

On February 9, the actor's agency, United Artists Agency (UAA), responded to reports about the actor's alleged use of propofol.

In a brief statement, the label confirmed that the "Seoul Vibe" star is being investigated for habitual use of the sedative drug known as propofol, which is only used in a hospital setting.

Despite the ongoing probe, the talent management said that the top star is "actively cooperating in all investigations," adding that they also "plan to proactively address the aspects that are a problem."

While the investigation is still in process, fans called out the investigation for "violating human rights."

According to a media outlet, Yoo Ah In's supporters doubt the real intention of the probe.

As noted by a report, Yoo Ah In Gallery raised that the authorities are violating the actor's human rights by releasing details about the investigation and are out in the open through news reports and social media.
