Hi
the fact that someone can get their entire life destroyed over something that only hurts them while child abusers are free to walk the streets is so backwards
Trying to justify breaking the law with another criminal act won't change the fact they're both law breaking. Follow laws or don't be shocked by the consequences
@@jayr7781that’s not the point here tho
@@sclstlnope I think that’s exactly the point here, i agree with him
@@melzznahh drugs only hurt the people who are using, they need rehabilitation, not a cell. While abusers and other horrendous crimes hurt others, THOSE people need a cell
@@cocoachoco5477 the point here is if you break the law, you have to ready to receive the consequences. That's it don't try justify that by saying you didn't hurt anyone for breaking the law, the point is you BREAKING the law.
What? Now you expected someone breaking the law and free of the consequences?
I think Korean police should focus more on school bullying and hidden camera cases rather than drugs smh
Forreal..What a joke
Literally bro
Also workplace bullying too
Bullying in Korea is wild. It's on an awful other level.
and the literal rapist getting away with their heinous acts. or the literal bullying cases that causes a lot of people to take their lives.
Him donating and contributing so much to those in need and doing it so discretely, that really speaks aloud. Its not our freaking business to judge him for his mistakes. That's something he needs to deal and get out of by himself and he needs all the love and support rn. People really need to focus on their own sh*t.
Society has seemed to forget a rule in life: mind your own business.
Imagine hating this man on the internet and then finding out his charity donations saved your kid or love ones. May the Lord help us all
honestly the fact that he got punished for doing drugs but not other celebrities who’s bullied, and sa’d people is insane. I met him at seoul fashion week and he was really nice
The fact he's punished like this for drugs but teens r getting away with murder....I love Korean culture but there are a lot of backwards things like any other country.
@@Megabot_6000I agree
@@Megabot_6000 they’re conservative to say the least. I’m a 14 year old and a Korean american that grew up in the states, but i came to the realization that the country itself JUST started being recognized as a country and that they’re bound to have more of a “conservative” mindset compared to the US just because of how long it’s been since they’ve been exposed to the “real world” .Some people my age in korea just don’t seem to know enough about the “real world” ig bc the way they talk is still very conservative.

Once again, Song Hye Kyo has proven time and time again she's a queen. Always has been and always will be.
So true!
Amen.
++++
she's just fucking amazing, wtf
SONG Hye-Kyo was famous for being caught for tax evasion in the past. just saying.. since in the video she says tax evasion is worse the drugs because it impacts other people.
The bone tumor could have been the reason for him using propofol. Bone tumors can be very painfull. We dont know what has lead up to the drug usage. Every addict has a story. And it is a health issue first and foremost
Exactly!!!!!!! there's no evidence he was selling them to others for gain, self-medicating is a thing! not saying it's not dangerous or the right way to go about it, but he literally didn't HURT any other ppl with his actions. smfh
this is exactly what i was thinking. the entertainment industry is so dark, there’s a reason he was trying to numb himself 😕
Absolutely NOT!
A morphine based opioid drug for pain. However, the brain does not experience pain. The head will and nerves will.
Was he an addict though? It sounded like just took some while being out of the country, just because he took drugs doesn’t mean he was addicted
Letting rapists and child molesters walk free but not helping someone who actually needs help is wild
And you're right. We welcomed RDJ back, I hope they welcome him back
But he’s contributing to the drug culture, when it’s VERY frowned upon at a time in Korea when drug use is emerging as a big problem.
@@liaish5818 which one is worst: a druggy or a rapist?
@@liaish5818 not by much if SK starts seeing people as people and not as gods. It's not the punishment we're mad about. It's the sheer extremity if it compared to actual crimes.
@@liaish5818Which is worse: a child rapist, or someone who has used ketamine maybe once?
@@liaish5818are u insane
I don't condone drug use and it's interesting to me why many Koreans don't see alcohol as a drug. A lot of them abuse alcohol and indulge in it everyday. Frankly, if you can't stay off of drinking for a day or two, you're a drug addict too. It's not by accident that Soju is in the top 3 most sold alcohol globally.
I know, right? Tsk tsk
Yeah, especially their drinking cultures are heavily ingrained in their works and colleges... whenever I heard about this I would be "damn, Korean livers are crying for help"
@@dana_0612 Yes. I want to ask these people who are pointing the finger at this actor for drug abuse when millions of Koreans abuse alcohol every day, why one type of drug abuse is okay and accepted (alcohol) and not the other. From my perspective, it's hypocrisy.
You spoke facts! The drinking culture in Korea is plain alcoholism just masquerade as "drinking culture". And its a real problem.
Alcohol is cheaper than water here 😅 says a lot
The fact that there is a culture in sk where you literally cannot turn down alcohol if a superior tells you to drink, where it's normal to see people passed out drunk in the street, but using marijuana where it's legal can get your whole career taken from you-- just blows my mind.
this.
Agree! Seems like he would have been just fine if he HAD BEEN some type of predator. The cops would have been like, " What up?" Sheesh. MESSED UP
drugs are viewed differently in SEA/ east asia though
you're looking at it from a complete western standpoint
Yeah. If we're talking about substances that impair your brain function, alcohol and weed are not that far off from each other.
Most SK are hypocrites so it's easy to understand why they act like this.
I didnt knew about Yoo Ahin but when Sulli situation happened, he wrote a letter for her that I'll NEVER forget. Now I'm into kdramas and watched a lot of his works, it's so sad what is happened to him.
good god i just read it and now im fighting back tears
wow :( they both don’t deserve any of this
It's really hard for me to villainize drug usage in Korea, where mental healthcare is (less these days, but still) incredibly taboo. Self-medicating is a real thing.
that along with the fact that other much more serious crimes like rape, prostitution, participation in child porn is taken so lightly? seungri got a 3 year jail sentence for prostitution, sexual assualt, illegal filming of pornography and he still has supporters throughout korea
idk if anyone will see this but xanax is not illegal in south korea and doctors prescribe it quite often here for the smallest of cases imho
its taboo but better than USA where everyone is one anti depressants and other drugs which are actually extremely harmful to health...i would suggest yoga and meditation and good lifestyle for mental health problem and not opioids...
@@srilakshmi5 these things don't work for everyone, drugs are the only escape for a lot of people who don't have access to proper resources and instead of being scrutinized like hongsik oppa has been, they and him should be helped. he's been in the industry for 20 years since he was seventeen and the industry is by far not kind. he deserved help.
ya he deserves help surely...but i'm just saying there is no need at all to glorify drugs like US does...if you are saying doing drugs is so harmful to people and drug usage actually incentives the drug cartels to produce more drugs..then why does the US legalize drugs at all?? i understand that people wo are poor whoa re have no options often take to it...but what im saying is if you are as strict as you are in korea, then you wont even have access to these drugs and u can find some other way in life..just be strict on drugs unlike US where at places like kensington, people do drugs on streets like really bad ones like fentanyl and police dont even do anything about it...look at how los angeles has become...

I applaud SHK for her actions ..
Her doing this for him shows how much she values his friendship and it also shows that SHK is just pure class , dignity and poise .
Yes love her ❤
She has a powerful, elegant presence. She is awesome
@@Trigopara3tigrestristes totally agree
what did she do
She isss the best❤️
In case you missed it during her own cancellation over sexist nonsense, Song Hye Kyo has proven once again that she's a class act.
Song Hye Kyo made her comeback, Yoo Ah In will too!! ✊️
the fact that theyre using his support of vulnerable communities to bash him further...im so enraged. they never have the same energy towards actual sex offenders and people who are a danger to the society
They do. You are not informed.
@@jiminswriter4209do they? is that why people from the burning sun scandal are walking free now? 🤪
@@skzftw2489 They're regular citizens, not judges. Stop generalizing a whole country based on some legal judgments.
@@jiminswriter4209 and those regular citizens are still supporting said criminals. Obviously, NOT every citizen does, but enough of them do
@@jiminswriter4209 you nationalist are all the same blind and hypocritical.
He was treated like a murderer and that pissed me off. I hope he is able to recover cause I'm rooting for him. And I can't imagine the series without him.
The child rapist was back in town given the opportunity to live next door to the victim and the defence for him at the trials was that he was an drunk old man who lost his sense and made a "mistake" but this is more serious right 💀
Korea and so many of these other Asian countries are a hot shame. Speaking as one myself
Or gang rapists who drug and rape mutliple women get out after 2 years
Oh my lord😭 i am so enraged!!!
next door? That's evil
@@ComedyGloryeah I think they’re talking about the case where a really young girl was sa’d by this guy and he’s now the most hated man in Korea but the police protect him upon release. There’s a rotten mango video on it I think it’s like ‘most hated man in Korea gets released’ or something. I hope that’s the case they’re talking about anyways because if there’s more cases like that then that’s even more upsetting.
You could do a chapter about Park Bom, her career was practically ruined because she brought ADHD medication into Korea and her agency kinda let knetz ripped her to shreds
her agency tried to defend her but netizens and tabloids were just brutal.
YG himself posted a statement defending Park Bom explicity.
He said that 2NE1 girls were so well behaved, they don’t even like going to clubs (not like Big Bang).
He explained that Park Bom was prescribed in the US with that specific medical drug and she needs it for her mental health
He also told the story of Park Bom being a soccer athlete before she was a trainee. But then her close teammate died unexpectedly and that event gave her severe depression. She was serious about soccer and was even aiming to being a professional soccer player, but after her teammate’s death, she lost that dream. She lost purpose and direction with her life. Until she became a YG trainee, she finally found another purpose in her life through music.
And it’s sad that the medication she needs to get better is being used to take away her music, her career.
It was a sincere letter from YG, more honest than other agencies where they just give vague politically statements to “defend” their trainees.
@@aelixanope.. YG didn’t do enough.. they were prepared to ditch 2ne1 because YG didn’t really like them.. they were a trial and error group.. then then found Blackpink whom are 2ne1 2.0…
@@Clapicusyour opinion will always be an opinion. But mine is, YG defended park boom but knowing korea 😔
@@Clapicus He was talking about Yang OK the YG the one replacing 2NE1 was YG company those directors and whoever involved not YG yang
That's crazy it shouldn't be anyone's business what meds someone is on
Also, it's wild to me that he's facing more police backlash than the family that owned Inhwa School for the Disabled did before the public demanded it. A genuinely good man using drugs is apparently a worse offense than an entire family of terrible people physically, mentally and sexually abusing disabled children. *smdh*
21:29 when stephanie said that a lot of Lee Min Ho’s characters are the same “rich, white horse prince” roles, i just remembered that he legit played this literal role in the king: eternal monarch. A rich prince who also happens to have a white horse😂😂
Yoo Ah-In has always been so genuine and kind. I think the bigger question here should be what pushed him into drugs and how many celebrities are doing it but hasn’t been caught yet. The celebrity culture is so toxic(not that it excuses his drug usage) but I can see why he would turn to alternatives. The constant pressure for perfection is so overwhelming. I hope the netizens will pull back on the hate train and leave him alone. He wasn’t harming anyone but himself. He can learn and grow from this but that’s his journey.
He actually had a non-cancerous tumor and was prescribed opoids. That's how this started. Americans know how easy it is for people from any walk of life to become addicted via prescription painkillers.
@@gillianomeagher1221A lot of people had non-cancerous tumor and never got addicted. My mom removed one before and she didn't. Stop defending shit like this.
But remember that using drugs is not bad, maybe he did it just to have fun sometimes, I don’t think it’s right to assume that everyone who uses drugs have problems or need help because what about people who drink alcohol every weekend because they’re partying? Alcohol is so much more worse than weed and meth
Also a lot of drugs can help with mental and physical problems
@@gillianomeagher1221 ah, I didn’t know that the prescription drugs started his drug usage. Thanks for the info. But yeah, I have been around people who got addicted to their prescribed drugs. It isn’t easy to come out of that headspace. Rehab is hell and I hope he has many people around him that support him through the process.
He needs rehab, not jail. Most likely, either he'll get a very short jail sentence or a multi-year suspended jail sentence. I'm still a fan of his work and can only hope he gets another chance to act again.
In Korea, once you are canceled you are canceled for good. :(
@@carloshs321 In general, you're right but it's not always the case. If he "reflects" for a few years and keeps a very low profile, he might be accepted back again.
@@claylover9845even adultery which is not even a crime can get actors/actresses/politicians cancelled to the point of no return, much less drugs.
Why does he even need rehab? Why do we keep treating all drug usage as recreational?
The fact that some actors have come back after *ape accusations with cctv showing an unconscious victim and still get off to do more dramas is crazy.
I hope YAI gets help and we see him acting again. ❤
Exactly 🤧
who?
@@vmj7366 seungri, he got an 18 month sentence for it and still has supporters all throughout korea, se7en too, he's still on national television like once a week with full support.
@@vmj7366 watch another video of steph's on the rising sun, all those artists and people with rankings are let off EASILY just because of their connections when they literally committed much worse with S'A, human trafficking, money laundering, drugged victims, breach of privacy by VIDEOING victims that they are assaulting...really really disgusting r*pists are free to be roamed around... but just to answer your question and to name one, se*ngri is one of them.
yeah, which actor did that? I'm out of the loop so I wanna know so I can avoid their movies and shows
Respect to song hye-kyo...I hope Yoo Ah-In gets back on track sooner, because he has a true friend who supports him unconditionally.
The fact that he has anonymously given financial support to so many Korean citizens throughout the years but Korean citizens are hating on him so hard for hurting no one but himself. 🤯 I wonder how many of those haters are also recipients of his help. He probably has helped to save so many lives. I hope he gets through this alright ❤.
Not all Koreans do this. Don’t generalize.
@@jiminswriter4209 learn to read, they never said all koreans.......
Things happen for a reason, what happened to him allows us to get to know him more. He donates quietly, and frequently, and that's something super rare. He's also a passionate actor, he stands up for good, and doesn't hurt people. Thank you Stephanie, I think this issue just opens us up more to the reality of cyber bullying, ignorant people with poor judgement and easily influenced, and the broken justice system.
Yoo Ah-in admitted his mistake, I hope Koreans will forgive him and give him a chance to come back. After all, he is a good person and a good actor. What a pity! 😢
And seungri is out... Wow South Korea's justice system 😃
I LOVE Yoo Ah In. He’s one of the few A-list Korean actors who could not care less about his looks. His passion towards his craft can be seen thru his acting. Learning about his philanthropic work just made me love him even more.
The SK culture where their idols/actors need to be perfect can sometimes be too much, it’s toxic. 😕
Despite the level of technological advance in South Korea, it's hard to imagine it being a place where some of the people aren't oppressed and depressed, especially the idols and other entertainers. It honestly turns you off and makes me actually not want to visit the country...
This 👏....
Then don’t. Nobody is forcing 🤗
@@mmiek796 are you dumb😊? Please upgrade your literacy levels and read this comment again. Fighting!❤✨️
And don't let anyone think you are wrong for this there is so many people who idolize east asia and demonize anyone who criticizes it even with valid criticism
@@UnknownLemonadeStand Thank you babes🥺 I wish there were more people like you who could identify wrong from right and stand for what is just❤️
His philanthropy makes me think his drug use is a byproduct of some kind of emotional pain. Bless his heart 😢
That's a good take
Maybe some physical pain too... or people get addicted while treating and when it's over they just use other stuff cause it's unbearable without it
we don't know what demons he might have been battling personally if he doesn't have a track record of hurting others
He has a bone tumor and has been on painkillers which was probably the gateway, I also heard he had issues with insomnia (could be due to the chronic pain as bone tumor pain worsens at night) and one of the drugs he used is used to help people with insomnia. The drugs are largely downers/anaesthetics, except cocaine which he'd probably use to wake himself up. I theorize this is self-medicating that got addictive.
honestly whats wrong with some of these korean ppl like they think doing drugs is worse that rape
Reading his letter to SUlli after her passing, just opens up a new perspective. The self blame and hurt he took on for someone that he himself acknowledges had only met several times. Cannot imagine how itnernally he takes everything else on, if he could fo that for someone he could count the times they've worked tgt
I will always support Yoo Ah-in no matter what. Nobody is perfect. They said, "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts." People can change.
I've been a fan since 2010 because of Sungkyunkwan Scandal and ever since then I've watched all his films and series. I also like that he's a fur dad to his cats.
What a heartbreaking story. That level of drug use is literally a death sentence. He sounds like an amazing guy, I hope he gets the help he needs.
It kind of sounds like he's not very happy to do something that hurts his life so much?🧡💜🧡
Dude, cocain is mixed with the other drugs 50% of the time. ALLSO using a drug is not the same as an addiction..
I was so disappointed when I heard Netflix dropped him, being that they are not a South Korean company. I was going to say he should come to the US, but Netflix, what are they doing????
Granted, I don't know if he speaks English, but just an idea!!
@@charissa6648Netflix is on their way out anyway and KDramas are keeping their head above water. He could still be really popular in Hollywood
He could’ve done a Coachella event and been high 1 or 2 nights. So many people experiment and never do drugs again. We can’t assume it’s a severe level and that he’s unhappy
I work at an addiction treatment centre in Canada. If I see someone like Yoo Ah In, I would help him, not jail him or demonizes him. I’m a big fan of Yoo Ah In, he’s a rare tallest in acting and a person with heart. A rare individual! I wish him well.
There was literally a guy in South Korea who s.a'd an eight year girl & only got 12 years because he said he was "drunk" but if you do drugs you get treated worse baffles me
Some people in SK have their priorities twisted. They crucified this guy just for doing drugs. He did not killled or asaulted anyone, whereas ppl that bullied, asaulted and did things more serious, just get a slap on the wrist. Unbelievable 🤦🏽♀️
It's crazy because he is such a good actor! One of my favourites if I'm gonna be honest so it sucks that this happened 🥺
Exactly he's sooo good. I love him in his sagueks and especially in Sado ...oh my gosh l still sing the ost to Sado crying seeing him killed by his father even if he encapsulates the evil done by the character so well you hate the prince you pity equally.
Its heartbreaking to see something like this happen to someone when they are in clear need of help. It honestly reminds me of when 2NE1's Park Bom had been publicly crucified because her "drug use" with adderall, even though her doctor in the U.S had prescribed them for her because of her adhd. But netizens were just attacking her saying she was smuggling amphetamines...I really hope Yoo Ah-In is able to get the help he needs and is somehow able to come back in the acting industry :(
But you aren't prescribed cocaine... he was legitimately taking cocaine, ket and propafol recreationally. Very different situations.
He doesn't deserve the coffee throwing and everything, but his actions were definitely criminal.
@@cecemac9719 H ¿e began to do drugs because of a medical prescription so yeah, that can lead to an addiction and I'm a nurse so I know what I'm talking about
Please, you’re acting like he’s out there smuggling and dealing drugs. It’s not that serious, The guy just needs help. SK despite it’s technological advancement is inherently backwards, hypocritical and corrupt.
@@gabymata9751 okay? But it's still illegal... I have plenty medical issues and have had a variety of prescriptions over the years but that doesn't mean that I'm going to start taking cocaine and the police would say "oh it's okay, she's sick" 🤷🏽♀️
@@cecemac9719we’re not even talking abt the law rn tho we’re talking abt morals i don’t think him doing drugs makes him a bad person
I’m trying to imagine my dad throwing coffee on a celebrity for doing drugs. No matter how hard I try I absolutely cannot imagine my dad caring enough about a celebrity to be so personally mad at them that he throw coffee... at most he’d probably shake his head and say ‘what a shame.’
you drugged 100s of girls and sa'd them and cyber bullied them??? ok 18 months in prison!
you did drugs that is harming urself???? life sentence instant death
He deserves all the support he can get. Why are they being so inhuman and inhumane. I adore his acting, his guts (lifestyle choices). He hasn’t hurt anyone but himself. Hands down, Korea’s best male actor, don’t dump him
sometime it feels its intentional...they picked him this time to put shades on high level suspicious work...like whenever there a situation they cover it by a scandal .
@@99999573No.

he’s honestly seems like an amazing guy this whole situation is so sad hopefully he can go back into the acting industry maybe in america after all of this
Ketermine can also be used in a mental health/therapy program for helping the patient reset. After hearing the list of drugs that he was tested for, perhaps he has a mental health issue and in that case more thoughtful compassion is needed.
This reminds of the whole B.I. situation. Text messages came out about him wanting to do drugs to cope with depression and other stuff. And just because he even thought about wanting to do them he was kicked out of his group and did jail time.
Yeah. Nd he's back stronger than ever
@@Syranash97exactly if he wants he can come back
Or even reach out to someone like Steven Yeun and do stuff with him
Everyone makes mistakes he was hurting himself more than anyone else this bullying will only do more harm than good, people can be so cruel.
I'm so glad to hear somebody is brave enough to stand up in support of Ah-in despite how tainted his reputation in their country is rn. He needs healing and recovery, not condemnation. He was not hurting anyone but himself nor was he a threat to the society. I hope he doesnt spiral down and that he recovers.
Aww I love Hye Kyo! I just watched her for the first time and I think she did so great! I'm really happy to hear she's good in real life too.
Omg..as kdrama fan,I have tried to research this whole thing..I still have the same opinion...the hate he got is so uncessary and unwarranted...I don't support drug use either but this man need support, help to recover not more trauma....he deserves better...i genuinely wish and pray and hope he recovers from this and comes back better than ever
.am rooting for him
This! The harassment he experienced over this was far too excessive with the information the public has. What he did was wrong but let the man breathe!
It's not like he isn't being punished
@@cecemac9719 agreed
Yoo Ah In has been my fav actor since Chicago Typewriter! He did so well in that and i know hes known for a hit movie he did(idk the title i didn't watch it) Chicago Typewriter was so underrated I wished more people watched it! I'm so upset that the whole nation turned on him
Oh my goshhh.. no wonder he seemed so familiar..
He was indeed really impressive in that. 🥲
He was so good in Seoul
You should be upset that alot of people are affected by his addiction.
@@sleepyearthnope! No one is affecting 🤦🏻 Don't you have control over yourself?🤡
Totally agree, very underrated. He was amazing in that.
As an American, its wild to me he's in trouble because of drug use. If he was selling or otherwise distributing the drugs I would support his prosecution but it doesn't even seem like they have him on possession. Truly it sounds like he needs (or might be reciving drug-based) therapy .
I saw Yoo Ah In first in the drama "chicago Typewriter" and I was flabbergasted the way he looked and I always thought that he is so different from all the korean actors I know, also, the thing that you mentioned that he is very versatile with his roles, I loved that that he doesn't do the 'same roles' again and again. When this news came out that he is been arrested for dr*g use, I was like 'tf?' Then I got to know the whole thing how one guy throws coffee at him. I didn't know what to think of him but there was this soft spot for him in me that was like, "there are people in the korean industry who have legit done way more crazy sh!t than this. For example, there is this old man in the industry who was accused of forcing himself on a minor I think but he still did made a comeback and acts. Kris Wu, I know he's in jail but there are still fans supporting him, seungri, he's in jail too but 3 years is too less for someone like him and all the guys in the burning sun scandal who were literally worse than him whose identity is not even known yet.
Idk why they are bashing Yoo Ah In that much when it's like not so petty crime. I actually think he needs help. You never know what a person is going through until you really know them and that might be the case with yoo ah in. If knetz think doing dr*ugs is such a heinous crime, please do not be biased with other crimes too, bash them off too, do not be biased.
And my last note is that I never knew he was a feminist. Damnn!! I knew about him supporting LGBTQ community but not this, thank you for doing a,good research on him soo and also about hye kyo, damnnn this lady is a true friend. I absolutely love their friendship.
My comment is too long lmao. It's because I really don't have people around me interested in this topic so I am jotting my thoughts down in a place where my comment can be seen lol .
It’s so sad what happen to him. I hope everything gets better for him mentally and physically.
I looooove SHK and Ah-in. They scream POWER when it comes to their crafts.They're genius actors. Maybe someday Ah-in can come back. I'm glad to hear friends who sticks with each other through ups and downs of life.
I hope Uni gets well soon, and hats off to Song Hye Kyo to being a great friend to him.
i’m about to become a fan of this guy. i was truly moved by his story and want to further support him. i hope he’s doing alright ): korea’s system needs a change ASAP.
this is so sad... addiction is a disease and people should be supporting him in getting the help that he needs to get sober and healthy instead of harassing him. song hye kyo is such a good person and a true friend!
Stephanie’s interactions with Mister MangoButt are always so cute 🥺
Fr love them❤❤❤
I also love when they roast each other. It’s funny and cute at the same time❤😂
And how he says "saays"... my husband is ESL with Mandarin as his first language but learned English at school. He still says "saays" instead of "sez" which is American pronunciation. I'm Canadian so I spell center "centre" and check "cheque" and I say sorry not "saawry". There is no such word as "expresso" nor do you "axe" a question. All in fun... honest.. I love my husband even though he "saays" "orngjuice" Instead of orange juice. All good.... at least he can speak 2 languages. For that I'm jealous. Gotta work that Rosetta stone!

Instead of putting him in jail, they should’ve put him in in rehab or therapy if they were worried about him. He actually seemed like a pretty good person 😢
So amazing - all his donations & kindness, only to get bullied like this is SICK!
Honestly im so happy stephanie mentioned what can push people in to addiction, even knowing the severe consequences. Many people that suffer from addiction are hiding or running from something super painful and traumatic that happened to them. Hearing someone not just shit on people that struggle with addiction is really awesome. Biss never diappoints 🖤
Song Hye Kyo is a real one omg to have a friend like that is such a blessing. I hope he can recover someday. This whole culture of hatred is basically social bullying. But on a small tiny note maybe a small part of this did happen for a reason. Cuz the weed thats nothing but that other stuff is so hard and he could've ended his life doing that stuff. I pray he gets help and people can forgive him so he can get his career back. Or at the least be as hard on the violent abusers as you are on people like him. Cuz its so hypocritical.
This is just crazy sad. I can't fathom how it's illegal to do substances in a legal place and still be arrested for it in your home country. He didn't smuggle drugs to South Korea or sold drugs to people. It looks like he didn't even do drugs in his country, but he's still punished so severely? In most countries you can only be punished for illegal substances if you are caught with possession or selling. I feel so sorry for him.
Maybe you didn't notice but it was not only marijuana, it was a number of hard and illegal drugs.
It's very sad what happened to Yoo Ah In. Let's hope he manages to get cured of his addictions, that he can come clean for his own sake. Hope things get better for him.
I hope he gets the help he needs, I'm glad Hye Kyo is helping him! To get to the point of consuming all those drugs really shows he couldn't help himself anymore and I can only think about how he must have been mentally/emotionally to get to that point. He wasn't even harming anyone else just himself and just look at all his philantropic activities, it's sad to see him like this. Korea as a whole has big social and mental issues like alcoholism, misogyny and terrible things happening that are actually important to work on instead of just focusing so much in this case. They can be so technological but in reality they are so behind in the actually important matters.
Knowing his acting history, Yoo Ah-in is a pure talent and has a pure heart, and just bc he messed up once, people criticise him as if he's killed millions🥺 why are knets so brutal, cruel and lack compassion??
Weed isn't even a mess up.. korea is so fing weird. getting drunk and passing out is ok but using weed is OMG THE WORST. They seriously need to fix their priorities.
Thank you for this very informative and well rounded take on this situation. As an international fan of YAI I’ve always loved his acting ever since Chicago Typewriter and when I initially heard about this happening I tried not to follow it because you know celebrity news that’s that ain’t for nothing to do with me but now that I’ve watch this video as someone that enjoyed his hard work and art I wish to further support and wish that he gets the help he needs and a full comeback even healthier and better wether in Korea or international ❤🇯🇲
I love Song Hye Kyo for standing for her friend .she is helping why would she go wrong?
oh so glad you're covering this! i love yoo ah in and i hope he gets all the help he needs. so much of the hate towards him also comes from homophobia people don't even realize, he's been treated like an animal for having an addiction
Sorry for being ignorant but how is homophobia related with this ?
@@sunyoun4698I'm curious too. Is he gay??
He's getting dragged because he's an open supporter of LGBTQ community and Korea is a very conservative country where LGBTQ is still not seen as a natural thing for humans.
Homophobia? It’s about drugs not his sexuality
the replies haven't watched the video apparently. Yoo Ah In supports the LGBTQ+ community and gay rights, and one of his friends were suspected of being gay (lol). Hence the homophobia
I dont understand multiple things about this case:
1. He did it LEGALLY in another country why does it matter in SK?
2. Why are people so mad for something that doesnt affect them personally??
3. Where is THIS ENERGY for that poor girl who got a roundhouse kick in the head, with VIDEO EVIDENCE, got sexually assaulted and they only gave him what 10-12 years???
Like i really dont get it.
It’s illegal for Korean citizens to use drugs abroad even when it is legal in that specific country.
There is always backlash against crimes in Korea, but you would only know that if you watched Korean news. Not everything is in English.
What I don't get is why they treat someone this harsh as if he was the worst criminal to walk on earth when all he did was harm himself and not others. Like there were celebrities or people who did way worse actually harming others but were not treated thus hateful. I feel really sorry for him
@@hanien6230 totally agree
She explained multiple times why it is a big matter he did it regardless that he was in America, he's a korean citizen and in Korea its illegal, and he (a korea citizen) is coming back to korea bringing drugs in his system which is not allowed in Korean soil
these cats let pedo slide but one guy battle addiction is the end of the world.
I just watched your take on him and AWWW~ yours was really in depth and I'm missing him more because of this
I love YOO AH IN! I’m heartbroken by the fact that this happened to him, but I know I will always be supporting him. I really hope he gets the help he needs, and I do hope he continues with his acting career. He doesn’t deserve to be black listed (when there are worse ppl out there in SK then him)
Same. I’ve been his fan since Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Secret Love Affair. He’s an amazing actor. I’ll really hoping he can get the help he needs to come back mentally stronger. If he needs to leave Korea for his sanity it would be the worst. He needs a village to support him.
Rehabilitation is what he should get.
There are centers related to the government for these kind of cases, I did an internship in one.
It's like being rehabilitated in a prison, but what's amazing is that it's a home kind of setting, it's like a huge home but with tighter security, housing people with different cases of addiction.
So they are taken care of, there are people listening to them, helping them get better while being watched for their and the medical practitioners' safety.
Song Hyekyo really got me love her more when I've read about the issue months ago.
Their friendship is amazing.
First time here and may not be the last time. You're so damn good! You literally stop me from what I was supposed to do here. Had a rollercoaster of emotions listening and the SHK part hit me. 💜
Yoo Ah In is a talented actor. I loved him in all his roles.
Doing drugs is never right. BUT it's nowhere near a status of serial killer or sexual abuser, and knetz are treating him even worse. I've always believed that the person doing drugs is himself a victim, coz cmon ain't no one that dumb to knowingly shorten their lifespan. These victims need help not jail. The people who supply these drugs are the real perpetrators and need to be punished to ruin so many lives.
Weed is normal
@@80sNostalgiaKid go ahead then, smoke it then🤷🏻♀️ just tell me one instance when smoking has benefited someone. I've never seen any sane person ever recommending someone to smoke weed.
@@mama-wh3dv it relaxes you it's not a bad thing
@@80sNostalgiaKid go ahead.. as if it's the last way to 'relax'.. relax as much as you want and shorten your lifespan by 20 yrs..
@@mama-wh3dv I don't smoke but many people need it for medicinal purposes. Stop illness shaming .
This girl has the ability to make everyone stop and give her attention. The way she speaks is just so amazing !!!! Literally I am obsessed with the podcasts !!!!!!!!
I have never heard of this man ever before in my life. But thanks to you and Somg Hye Kyo , he just gained a new fan ✊ I'll be watching his work in the future for sure!
I am seriously becoming a fan of Song Hye Kyo. She is a class act!
I hope the dude returns. Gambling and drug use hurts no one but the user and their family - it's not the public's business any more than their sex life is. Not that anyone cares. People still care about weed. It's insane. Weed isn't nearly as bad as alcohol and cigarettes.
I loved Yoo Ah In, ever since I first saw him on Sungkyunkwan Scandal, 13 years ago. I hope he comes out strong from all this mess.
yes me too he is pretty long hair in the drama i like him so much because he is best friend of my queen shk ❤️❤️💕
As someone who absolutely hates anything to do with drugs or alcohol, I would never imagine myself doing what Koreans are doing to Yoo Ah-In. These people are so unrelenting and cruel for an unwise decision that a person made that only impacts themselves.
Tnx Stephanie for that compassionate heart of yours.
I haven't followed Yoo Ah -In's journey but watching this videos makes me love and support him instantly. And I' m loving Song Hye Kyo all the more.
I pray he comes out of this mess mentally and physically strong. Also respect for him and SHK for supporting and standing by each other during their testing times❤🙏
I loveee Yoo Ah In. He definitely stands out in every Kdrama he's in, where most of the actors/actresses feel too manufactured. I only loved him as an actor and would often watch a project just because I saw him on it, but I fell head over heels when I first saw him on Running Man just enjoying himself. When you watch him, he has the grace and aura of a celebrity even while he's being humble. He has the charisma which the only other artist I could think of to have the same charisma is G-Dragon. He does NOT deserve such treatment and those haters are being hypocrites. Where were they when a bunch of celebrities got caught for much worse crimes that ACTUALLY harm others?? Those other celebrities who taught the young generation that "you can get away with this as long as you follow the toxic masculinity standard of Korean society"???
The “haters” are there if you watch the Korean news. It is apparent that many commenters on here do not. Thus, the ignorant comments about Korean society and culture.
I’m more and more in love with Song hye cause like the fact that she did all that for him just shows how amazing of a person she is
Thank you for making this video Stephanie.
im so happy you're covering this case mother , i love shk and yoo ah-in's friendship
I'm so glad you're covering this !! i still cant get over how sad it was to watch him in so much pain...i hope he's okay and recovering
I love Song Hye Kyo more now that I've known this. Such a true friend.
Hey Stephanie.. i like your midnight mango episodes but I miss your mukbangs as I used to eat while watching you and listening to your stories. I hope you'll do the mukbangs every once in a while. ❤
Song Hye Kyo ❤❤that's a true friend right there
Anytime Stephanie talks about Song Hye Kyo, is me. I get emotional and fan girl at the same time. I hope he can get redemption. I’m an American, non Korean fan of his. And this breaks my heart
Season 2 will not be the same without him. such a great actor!
Don’t know if this will ever get to him and his team but I am a huge fan and appreciate the friend he has helping him. I am praying that he is able to bounce back and help those in Korea struggling with trauma that lead to addictions. I think he would be a great spokes person for recovery world wide.
WOW. Song Hye Kyo is a breath of fresh air... she seems SO selfless.
Honestly both their friendships is pure because they’ve been their for each other theough the hardest times like what I mean their friendship is genuine
I never comment but I find the treatment given to Yoo Ah-In so hypocritical and disgusting. Everyone is acting like they never do anything bad and he's the worst person in the world, I'm so angry I have tears in my eyes. I love him, I hope everything works out for him later 😢
