On the 1st, TV Chosun News 9 reported that additional cocaine was detected in his hair.

Earlier, the police raided Yoo Ah-in at Incheon International Airport on the 5th of last month. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety asked for an investigation, saying that there was a situation in which he habitually administered propofol, a drug, and launched a forced investigation.

News 9 reported that police asked the National Forensic Service for a detailed evaluation and found propofol and cannabis ingredients in Yoo Ah-in's hair, and the National Forensic Service notified the police that there were two types of drugs, including cocaine and ketamine.

As a result, there are a total of four drugs suspected of being administered by Yoo Ah-in, including marijuana and propofol, cocaine and ketamine.

Cocaine is considered one of the top three drugs along with methamphetamine and heroin due to strong hallucinations and addiction. Ketamine, which is used as a general anesthetic, was also classified as a drug in 2006 due to concerns over misuse.

According to News 9, the police have secured records of ketamine prescriptions during the search and seizure of the hospital to check whether Yoo Ah-in habitually took them, and will summon him as a suspect as early as next week to investigate how he took the drugs.
