According to the indictment obtained by The Fact on November 2, Yoo Ah In smoked marijuana with acquaintances B and C at an outdoor swimming pool at a residence located in Los Angeles, California, in January of this year.
The next day, while smoking marijuana with acquaintances B and C, Yoo Ah In became upset when Youtuber A, who had come to the pool to shoot a vlog, witnessed him smoking. He exclaimed, “Why should I be disturbed in my free time because of a YouTuber?”

Subsequently, fearing that YouTuber A would disclose his marijuana use to the public, Yoo Ah In decided to make YouTuber A an accomplice. He told acquaintance C, “Give some to YouTuber A.” Then, he told acquaintance B, “Isn’t it time for YouTuber A to try it once?” and urged the YouTuber, who had never smoked it before, to try smoking marijuana.
Despite A’s refusal, Yoo Ah In continued to coerce them into smoking marijuana, even showing them how to smoke it and telling them to “inhale more deeply.”
