Yoo Ah In’s Recent Public Appearance Sparks Concern + People Think He is ‘Too Stressed’ With Investigation
Besides the never-ending investigation surrounding the drug charges, the public noticed changes in Yoo Ah In's appearance.
Following the 21-hour interrogation for the second private summon on May 16, the award winning star made another public appearance for the warrant review.
On May 24, the "Seoul Vibe" star appeared at Seoul Central District Court for questioning, regarding the police's request for a warrant of arrest.
On his arrival at the court district, the scandal-ridden actor was moved to Mapo Police Station in handcuffs, where he will be detained while waiting for the court's decision.
As he was about to enter his car, he was attacked by an unidentified man and hit by a bottle of coffee. Thankfully, he was surrounded by his bodyguard and seemed unharmed by the shocking incident.
However, it was obvious that he was shocked at the attack, causing him to look behind him and check who and what it was.
With all the updates and issues surrounding the "Hellbound" star, netizens can't help but notice the changes in Yoo Ah In's appearance.

Over social media, netizens raised their concern for Yoo Ah In and how he is dealing with the ongoing investigation.

Others speculate that the change in his appearance is because of stress.
"He must've been stressed... his hair..."
According to a medical website, having gray hair might be a sign of stress, based on studies.
"Researchers found that the body's fight-or-flight response plays a key role in turning hair gray. Your hair color is determined by pigment-producing cells called melanocytes," as mentioned by the website.
On the other hand, fans were also showing their support for Yoo Ah In online.
They expressed how bad they felt for the actor, especially when they brought him to the detention cell in handcuffs.
