Yoo Ah In’s Drug Tests Find 4 Types of Substances Including Cocaine, Ketamine
Authorities continued to investigate Yoo Ah In's drug case, and have found four types of substances in his body.
The actor remains the talk of the town as the "Seoul Vibe" star undergoes the police probe due to suspicion of propofol use. After a series of tests, police revealed the fourth drug found on Yoo Ah In's body.
Yoo Ah In's Drug Tests Results Contain Cocaine, Ketamine Substances
According to TV Chosun's News 9, the award-winning star had also tested positive for cocaine and ketamine, based on his hair strand test.
The said tests detect the most popular drugs for up to 90 days. Unfortunately for Yoo Ah In's case, components in his hair follicle test results include not just two but four substances, including propofol.
Following the update regarding the actor's drug tests, the authorities are investigating his ketamine prescription records to see whether he used it habitually.
To recall, it has been found that Yoo Ah In habitually used propofol since early 2021. Based on the investigation, the actor had taken propofol from January 4, 2021 to December 23, 2021, with a total of 73 times.
According to outlets, propofol is used in a hospital setting which helps a patient who is about to undergo surgery keep asleep during general anesthesia. Moreover, it also slows the activity of the brain and nervous system.
As for his urine tests, which were first released by the police, the "Chicago Typewriter" star tests positive for marijuana, which is considered illegal for recreational use in Korea.
