“Yoo Ah-in accused of drug conspiracy”: YouTuber states, “Prosecution’s indictment imminent, expected to be dealt with soon”

On July 18, Haemon posted a message on his YouTube channel stating, “The recent media reports stating that I am involved in a famous celebrity’s marijuana case and that the case has been recently sent to the prosecution are true.”

He explained, “There were circumstances that made it difficult for me to express my position regarding the ongoing investigation involving multiple individuals.” He added, “Now that the case has been transferred to the prosecution, I will provide specific details about my involvement and my position on this matter in the near future.”

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Narcotics Crime Investigation Division, Haemon, along with acquaintances including Yoo Ah-in, is suspected of smoking marijuana (violation of the Narcotics Control Act) during a trip to the United States in January. He was recently sent for prosecution without detention. Despite the ongoing investigation, Haemon had continued to upload new videos on his YouTube channel until four days ago.

The following is the full text of Haemon’s statement:

Hello, this is Haemon, Kim Woojoon.

The recent media reports stating that I am involved in a famous celebrity’s marijuana case and that the case has been recently sent to the prosecution are true.

I apologize for causing concern to my subscribers.

There were circumstances that made it difficult for me to express my position regarding the ongoing investigation involving multiple individuals.

Please note that since the investigation, I have voluntarily suspended advertising on my channel to prevent any further unforeseen harm.

Now that the case has been transferred to the prosecution, I will soon provide specific details about my involvement and my position on this matter.

‘Haemon’ is a channel that is created together with my subscribers.

I will strive to not disappoint you, Haemon.”
