Police seize Yoo Ah In's phone during drug investigation

Police are reported to have seized Yoo Ah In's phone.

As previously reported, Yoo Ah In was being investigated for habitual use of propofol when he also tested positive for marijuana. On February 11, reports revealed police seized the actor's mobile phone, and they're currently beginning their digital forensics work to investigate his drug use.

Yoo Ah In was booked by police at Incheon International Airport on the 5th after his trip to the United States. He's since provided 160 strands of body hair to the National Forensic Service, and the exact results of the body hair assessment will be released within 10 days. THC, one of the main constituents in cannabis, has already been detected in his urine, and as it's no longer detected in urine after 7-10 days, it's likely he recently used marijuana.

Meanwhile, Yoo Ah In's label United Artists Agency stated, "We've heard the report, but there's nothing we can confirm. There's no additional information from the police." The label previously stated on the allegations of habitual propofol use, "There's an investigation by the police. We're actively cooperating with all related investigations."

saddened to read this news about him. if he was caught like this, someone snitched on him. I’m not excusing his behavior, but when I saw him on ILA, he obviously had anxiety issues. even people in the US, where medicines are crammed down your throat for anything, self-soothe w/ weed because of the immediate effects and no side effects in small dosages. I’m hoping he gets through this okay.

This isn't true at all, whatsoever. Unlike other drugs' metabolites, cannabinoid compounds' metabolites are nonpolar and dissolve into fatty tissues in a person's body like their fat deposits and brain and it can be detected in your urine for up to 3 months depending on frequency and amount of use along with a person's bmi.
