Yoo Ah-in postpones police appearance over media presence

Actor Yoo Ah-in, who has been suspected of drug use, postponed his scheduled appearance before the Seoul Metropolitan Police on Thursday after finding a group of reporters waiting for him at the entrance of the police building.

This is the second time he has postponed an appearance for police questioning. His first postponement was in March, when he complained that his summon date was leaked to the media.

Yoo was scheduled to appear before the police at 10 a.m. to answer questions about his alleged drug use and how he got the drugs, among others.

The actor has been under police investigation since February. The National Institute of Forensic Science has found traces of four narcotics -- cannabis, propofol, cocaine and ketamine -- in his hair and urine. It was later revealed that he had also been prescribed the psychotropic drug zolpidem for nonmedical purposes.

During the previous interrogation in March, the actor reportedly denied most of the allegations, except the one regarding cannabis use.
