However, in the past, because the incident involved many individuals and the investigation was ongoing, it was difficult for him to take a stance or provide any detailed information. Therefore, he also decided to remain silent and not say anything.
The case has now been transferred to the prosecution, and decisions regarding his involvement in the scandal are likely to be made in the near future. Hairmon assured that he will fully and in detail explain his involvement in the case to his subscribers in the near future.
Hairmon is a YouTuber with 300,000 subscribers and Yoo Ah-in's hairstylist. On July 17, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit said it had transferred YouTuber Kim, 30, who is being investigated as Yoo Ah-in's accomplice in the drug scandal, to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Violent Crime Investigation Unit.
Kim was accused of smoking marijuana during a trip to the US with Yoo Ah-in and four other acquaintances in January, a violation of the Narcotics Control Act.
During the investigation, the male YouTuber admitted to most of the charges against him. He was prosecuted without detention.
Yoo Ah-in's drug scandal shocked Korean showbiz and involved many people, forcing the police to expand their investigation.
Yoo Ah-in tested positive for five banned substances, including Propofol and Ketamine. Propofol is a substance that slows down the activity of the brain and nervous system. If abused, it can lead to addiction. Korea prohibits the indiscriminate use of this substance without a doctor's prescription. Ketamine is a synthetic drug, commonly known as "Ke".

During the initial interrogation, police discovered that "film king" Yoo Ah-in had injected Propofol 73 times in one year. Several accomplices involved in Yoo Ah-in's scandal are being investigated for alleged illegal drug use. On May 3, police reportedly arrested four people who were friends and acquaintances...
During the next summons, the actor repeatedly denied the allegations against him. Regarding the allegations of Propofol abuse for about 2 years since 2021, Yoo Ah-in said that the use was only for " medical purposes". He affirmed that Ketamine and Zolpidem were also drugs prescribed by doctors for "medical purposes", there was no abuse.
Yoo Ah-in has completely denied the allegations of cocaine use. Regarding the positive results for methamphetamine, he said that it was given to him by a friend and therefore the use was not intentional. As the actor continues to deny all allegations of illegal drug use, the police have requested an arrest warrant to prevent him from destroying evidence.
When the drug scandal broke out, Yoo Ah-in's rising career came to a halt, and all of his films were postponed. The "Emperor of Films" publicly apologized to the public and his fans.
Yoo Ah-in was born in 1986, is a leading Korean actor; starred in many films: "The Tragedy of the Dynasty", "Where to Run", "The Six Dragons", "Writer's Weapon"... Yoo Ah-in won the "Best Actor" category (also known as "Best Actor") at the Blue Dragon Awards at the age of 29. Five years later, Yoo Ah-in became "Best Actor" for the second time at the age of 34 with the role of Tae In in "The Sound of Silence".
