Netflix’s original series Goodbye Earth may have to face huge setbacks for its main actor Yoo Ah In is now facing illegal drugs use scandal.

TV Chosun exclusively reported via News 9 on February 8 that there was a South Korean box-office movie star undergoing investigation for the illegal use of propofol.

What Happened to Yoo Ah In?

So, what happened to Yoo Ah In, and why the police had to investigate him?

TV Chosun further reported that Hellbound actor Yoo Ah In had violated the Narcotic Control Act by illegally abusing the use of drugs, specifically propofol.

According to the report, the prominent actor habitually administered propofol during his multiple hospital visits.

Since propofol is not a common prescription in South Korea, started paying attention to Yoo Ah In. And while monitoring the distribution of psychotropic drugs, they noticed Yoo Ah In’s excessive frequency of propofol prescription. Therefore, the ministry requested the police to start an investigation.

Due to the severity of the case, the police eventually requested a detailed analysis of Yoo Ah In’s hair. Not only that, the actor is now banned from leaving South Korea.

Why is Propofol Illegal in South Korea?

Propofol is a common medication used for sedatives and anesthesia. It is a short-acting drug that causes the user to experience decreased consciousness and memory loss for certain events. In general, propofol is beneficial for starting and maintaining general anesthesia, as a sedative for mechanically ventilated adults, and for various other sedation purposes. And medical professionals commonly administer propofol via injection, typically lasting for 5 – 10 minutes.

In South Korea, however, propofol has been considered a controlled substance since February 2011. Since it is a common medicine for sedatives and anesthesia, propofol has a high potential for abuse. In fact, research has proven that the mistreatment of propofol is still happening frequently in South Korean hospitals despite being a controlled substance.

That is why The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety constantly monitors this medication’s usage. Any excessive use and abuse of propofol will be eligible for violating the Narcotic Control Act.
