The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit announced that as of 9:05 a.m. on the 16th, they are investigating Yoo Ah-in (37, real name Eom Hong-sik) on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. The police are questioning Yoo about the types and frequency of drug use, purchase routes, and whether there were accomplices.

On that day, Yoo did not respond to reporters' questions asking, "Do you deny the charges?" and proceeded to the interrogation room.

Yoo's second police investigation was originally scheduled for the 11th, but he refused to be questioned and left, stating that it was not a "private summons." Yoo had also adjusted his appearance date during the first police investigation in March after the date was reported, citing it as a "public summons."

The police plan to decide whether to request an arrest warrant after completing the investigation of Yoo.
