On the 17th, the Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced that A was sent to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office without detention on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

A is suspected of smoking marijuana in the United States in January along with Yoo Ah-in and four acquaintances. It is known that A admitted to the charges during the police investigation. The prosecution plans to summon A in the future to investigate the circumstances of drug use with Yoo Ah-in and others.

Last year, the police received information from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regarding Yoo Ah-in's suspected propofol abuse and launched an investigation. In February, the police requested analysis of Yoo Ah-in's hair and urine samples from the National Forensic Service, which detected narcotic substances including marijuana components, propofol, cocaine, and ketamine.

The police applied for an arrest warrant for Yoo Ah-in in May, but the court dismissed it, stating that "there is room for dispute regarding the cocaine use charge." Last month, the police sent Yoo Ah-in and his acquaintance, artist B, who graduated from an art university, to the prosecution.
