"I caught Um Hongsik, not Yoo Ahin."Positive for propofol in hair

It has been confirmed that actor Yoo Ah-in, who is suspected of taking drugs, tested positive for propofol.

Recently, the National Forensic Service notified the drug crime investigation team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency of the results of Yoo's precise hair evaluation.

Last year, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety asked the police to investigate Yoo, saying he had been routinely prescribed general anesthetic propofol since 2021.

The police confirmed that the hair of actress Yoo Ah-in, who is suspected of administering drugs after entering Incheon International Airport on the 5th, tested positive for propofol.

Recently, the National Forensic Service notified the drug crime investigation team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency of the results of Yoo's precise hair evaluation.

Last year, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety asked the police to investigate Yoo, saying he had been routinely prescribed general anesthetic propofol since 2021.

The police conducted a body search and seizure of Yoo, who entered Incheon International Airport on the 5th, including urine and hair.

Earlier, the National Forensic Service notified the police that the urine test tested positive for marijuana.

No propofol was detected in the same test.

Propofol is released from the body after a certain period of time, so it was not found in urine tests, but it seems to have tested positive because the ingredients remain in the hair.

A police official said he plans to summon Yoo for questioning in time soon.

It is also expected to find out whether drugs are routinely administered through the results of the National Forensic Service's precise assessment and analysis of mobile phone data.

Oh Yoo-kyung, the Minister of Food and Drug Safety, said at a press conference yesterday (23rd), "What the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety caught was Um Hong-sik, not Yoo Ah-in."

Um Hong-sik is Yoo's real name.

It is explained that it was not investigated for actor Yoo Ah-in, but caught Um's misuse of propofol through the integrated drug management system.
