Yoo Ah-in Jailed One Year for Drug Use

South Korean actor Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to one year in prison for abusing illegal drugs and was taken into court custody upon the ruling. Actor Yoo Ah-in has been very active on both the big and small screens since his debut in 2003.

But he was put on trial last October after being charged for habitually using Propofol 181 times under the pretext of being sedated for cosmetic procedures. He also illegally bought about 1,100 sleeping pills under other people’s names. The court found him guilty on all charges of abusing and buying illegal drugs and smoking marijuana. The court said his crime was severe because he ignored drug regulations and exploited legal loopholes.
