Korean actor Yoo Ah In has appealed for leniency within the second trial for a drug case he’s embroiled in. The 38-year-old actor was arrested in court in the primary trial and was sentenced to prison for one 12 months. He was also fined 2 million won. He has been accused of drug abuse and obstructing justice under Korea’s Narcotics Control Act. The court acknowledged his repeated drug procurement but acquitted him of marijuana use and evidence tampering charges.

As per reports from Korean media, he has appealed for leniency within the second trial. His lawyer argued that Yoo Ah In didn’t isolate the law maliciously through the use of loopholes in laws and regulations, but he became depending on sleep anaesthesia when he was already physically and mentally struggling.

The actor’s lawyer also said that the unique trial’s sentence is “too heavy and unfair.” The Criminal Division 5 of the Seoul High Court will hold the second hearing on the nineteenth of November. Meanwhile, the actor stays in custody as his detention period has been prolonged. Yoo Ah In has been found guilty of illegally acquiring 1,100 sleeping pills through the use of a unique identity and smoking marijuana in the US. He can also be accused of attempting to intimidate an accomplice to destroy evidence and alter testimony.
