On the 19th, the Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is reported to apply for an arrest warrant for Yoo, who is suspected of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

The police decided the previous day to apply for an arrest warrant, citing concerns that Yoo denies the charges and there is a risk of evidence destruction.

The police believe Yoo used five types of narcotics, including propofol, marijuana, cocaine, ketamine, and zolpidem.

On the 16th, during the second round of summons investigation, Yoo underwent a 21-hour overnight interrogation and then returned home. At that time, Yoo reportedly admitted to only part of the marijuana smoking, denying most of the other charges.

During the first investigation in March, Yoo also denied drug use except for marijuana. It is known that he claimed the use of propofol and ketamine was for medical treatment purposes and denied using cocaine.
