Actor Yoo Ah-in, who was sentenced to probation due to drug charges, has been spotted in an unexpected setting.
DJ and music producer Peggy Gu posted a photo along with the message "Fav director!(My favorite director) I love you Bong!" on her Instagram account on the 3rd.
The released photo shows Peggy Gu sitting affectionately beside director Bong Joon-ho and Yoo Ah-in. Director Bong holds Peggy Gu's arms with both hands, while Yoo Ah-in looks on with a big smile.
This photo has since disappeared from her account. Some netizens speculated it may have been intentionally deleted, but it's been reported that the disappearance is due to the story feature automatically deleting within 24 hours.
The photo is causing a buzz on various online communities and social media, fueling rumors of Yoo Ah-in's return.
Meanwhile, Yoo Ah-in was indicted for using propofol under the pretense of undergoing beauty procedures until March 2022, and for illegally obtaining prescriptions for over 1,100 sleeping pills under another person's name. The Supreme Court concluded the case with a one-year prison sentence, two years of probation, and a fine of 2 million won. Recently, the films he starred in, 'The Game' and 'Hi-Five', attracted 2.14 million and 1.85 million viewers, respectively.
