Yoo Ah In's controversies
This comes amidst reports that Yoo Ah In halted his activities in late 2002 after he was being investigated by police for habitual drug use. He was later indicted for violating the Narcotics Control Act (psychotropic substances) and, in July of this year, received a final ruling from the Supreme Court: one year in prison, suspended for two years, and a fine of 2,000,000 Korean won.
Following the scandal, Yoo was dropped from Hellbound's second season and replaced by actor Kim Sung-cheol. On February 18, 2025, Yoo was released after being sentenced to a one-year prison sentence in prison due to receiving a suspended sentence from an appellate court.
