Actor Yoo Ah-in from South Korea has recently been arrested and handed a year-long sentence. This development has left many fans wondering about the reasons behind his arrest and the series of events leading up to it. Notably, Yoo Ah-in gained recognition for his roles in the Netflix series Hellbound and the movie Burning, and he also serves as the creative director and curator at Studio Concrete when not acting.
Here is everything you need to know regarding Yoo Ah-in’s arrest and jail sentence.
Yoo Ah-in sentenced to a year in jail
Yoo Ah-in had been sentenced to one year in jail on Tuesday following his arrest.
The actor was taken into custody due to chronic misuse of illegal drugs, as reported by Yonhap News Agency. He is facing multiple charges for allegedly using propofol illegally on 181 instances, disguising it as cosmetic treatments from 2020 to 2022.
Among the additional allegations facing Ah-in are:
Beyond the court’s arrest, Yoo Ah-in was also fined 2 million won ($1,490) as part of the ruling. This fine was issued without physically detaining him, as he had already been held by court order following his trial. Before Yoo Ah-in received a one-year prison sentence, the prosecutors in his case had initially sought a four-year prison term.
Previously in a court hearing, Yoo Ah-in apologized for the damage inflicted through his drug addiction. He also declared his determination to overcome his addiction and become a beneficial member of society. In his own words, “No matter what the outcome may be, I will repay those who supported me by improving my health and becoming more virtuous and more honest person, and living as someone who can give back to society.”
Ah-in, who was previously implicated forcibly accused of evidence destruction by urging evidence of concealing some sources claim that his acquaintances should erase phone records, was found innocent on Tuesday in regards to the charges of evidence tampering and coercion due to insufficient evidence.
