▲Drug-related actor Yoo Ah-in is on trial for the second time
Actor Yoo Ah In was interrogated for the second time on the 16th due to drug involvement. The interrogation ended in the morning of the next day and lasted more than 21 hours. After the investigation, Yoo Ah In said that he said everything he could say during the investigation, and he felt guilty for making everyone worry. He did not answer questions about whether he had ever taken cocaine, the reason for changing the date of the case and hearing, and the channels for purchasing drugs.
In March, Yoo Ah-in protested against the media’s public reporting of the date of his appearance and interrogation, and requested the police to adjust the date of the arraignment. He was originally scheduled to accept the second arraignment on the 11th of this month, but after arriving near the police station, he turned around and returned on the grounds that there were too many reporters at the scene.
On the morning of May 17th, in the office building of the Drug Crime Investigation Team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, drug-related actor Yoo Ah-in accepted the second investigation as a suspect.
