The "collapse" of 2023 has begun
Last night, South Korean actor Liu Yaren was exposed on suspicion of illegal drug use and was taken away by the police and has been banned from leaving the country.
Although it is not so surprising that this happened to Liu Yaren, regret is inevitable.
As the top actor of Chungmuro in South Korea in the 30th generation, Liu Yaren is the youngest actor of the Blue Dragon Award and Baeksang Art Award, and is also a box office guarantee in South Korea.
Koreans have always loved and hated him. Love his not handsome enough but super acting skills, and hate his personality that is always crazy on various lightning points.
It's just that in the past, "knowing that you can't do it" is more manifested in speaking up for vulnerable groups and harmless emotional life.
This time it is related to poison, and the nature is completely different.
01
Illegal abuse of propofol use
It is a drug addict in Korea
The drug propofol that Liu Yaren is suspected of illegally using, is a relatively common intravenous anesthetic, with obvious efficacy, and can make people fall into deep sleep in a few seconds. Because of its milky white color, it is called "milk".
Although many people have used propofol during surgery, it is addictive and some people experience special pleasure due to propofol.
Propofol is managed differently in different countries. For example, propofol is not a drug in the mainland, and abuse is not a drug use, but a "prescription drug abuse".
But in South Korea it is different. As early as 2011, propofol was already a drug and could only be used for medical purposes under special circumstances. If it is abused, it is a drug use.
South Korean actress Park Shi-yeon was sentenced to 8 months in prison and two years suspended for her long-term illegal use of propofol.
And Liu Yaren's frequent use of propofol without prescription in different hospitals, if not reasonably explained in terms of frequency and frequency, proved to be a clear abuse, waiting for him not only fines, but also jail time.

Not unexpected
But it's a pity
After Liu Yaren was exposed to possible drug use, everyone was shocked and regretted, but also realized that this was not completely untraceable.
He has always been a maverick, some unique and praised, some unique but on a crooked path.
When actors of the same age are still struggling in idol dramas, Liu Yaren has already starred in many works that focus on real life. He has won awards all over Korea and enjoys a high reputation internationally.
He did not rely on people to carry him, but completely used one work after another to become the leader of the young generation of Chungmuro in South Korea.
"Veteran" nominated for the Big Bell Award actor, "Mourning" that won the Blue Dragon Movie Emperor, "Burning" that went to Cannes, and "Silent" that defeated Li Bingxian and the second Blue Dragon Film Emperor in the previous two years... His small eyes and thick lips that do not conform to the public's aesthetics have plastic surgery-like acting skills.
"Silent"
The quality of the work is one thing, the key is Liu Yaren, he can also carry the box office and ratings.
For example, in 2021 Netflix's "Hell Minister", Liu Yaren starred as a cult leader. The quality of this drama is not too high, and the evaluation is mediocre, but it cannot bear Liu Yaren's global influence, and the ratings have remained the first in the world on the Netflix list after its launch.
In addition to his acting skills, Liu Yaren is often praised, as well as his "artist" side.
For example, a creative team called Studio Concrete was formed to hold exhibitions and support young unknown artists.
The clothing brand of the same name is also quite successful, and domestic stars including Hu Ge, Chen Weiting, He Sui, Zhang Ruoyun and other stars have all been on the body.
His home is located in Itaewon, Seoul, and Yoo Ah-jin bought it for about 5.8 billion won, which is definitely the top luxury house among Korean stars.
It's like an art exhibition, with paintings from different genres and eras, ornaments by different designers, and magazine covers.
Although it is the fragrant food of Korean entertainment, Liu Yaren does not "keep to himself", but says anything, does what he wants, and does not shy away from letting others know.
In the past two years, there have been many discussions about his sexuality, and Liu Yaren has not avoided suspicion, and still shares photos with her gossip boyfriend Cui Hanle on social networks.

At the height of the new crown epidemic, anti-China sentiment was rampant in South Korea. Studio Concrete, Liu Yaren's design brand, created the LOVE FOR WUHAN/HUMAN drawings.
After Park Geun-hye's girlfriend's political interference incident earlier, he walked up to Gwanghwamen as a public figure and held candles in protest.
Some people praised him for petitioning the people, but many people scolded him for show. Although he did not tell him anywhere that he was going to the protest site, the reporter who photographed him also stated that he was by no means posing for a photo, but recognized Liu Yaren, who was wearing a mask, at the event.
South Korea's feminist movement was vigorous, and Liu Yaren did not shy away.
Actor Jung Yu-mi was scolded for starring in "Kim Ji-young born in 82", and he stood up to fight back for her, "I am a feminist. ”
Jung Youmi, a friend that people love and grow, her movie "Kim Jiyoung born in 82" is about to be released. I watched the trailer and it was great and felt that her voice and movements were more determined and natural than before. I want the audience to feel such a deep sound.
Off screen, everyone treats the movie as a war game. On the other hand, the film will be delivered and shake the hearts of the audience. Don't be fooled by the sounds outside. Please look at it in terms of the movie itself. I hope you can feel how you feel.
This is the story of women, this is the story of men, and this is the story of other people. I recommend this movie to you, hoping that through mutual sympathy, you can feel that we are together, transcending gender and differences.

Shirley, who was subjected to online violence, left this world, and his voice was moving.
She was not taken as a reason to be a patient, nor was she seen as a hero. Her rhetoric, the name Shirley, is not all she is.
Truth, and the existence above this name. The human being who resists to freedom, who practices with her own life, and the truth of truth that is a million times greater than I know - her heart.
Liu Yaren (Translation: Liu Yaren Information Station)
These actions brought great controversy to Liu Yaren. But he says he loves the word cynical because it stems from a passion for life.
However, the abuse of drugs and suspected drug use are really difficult to link with daring to love and hate, love and hate, and even contrary to the truth and equality he has been trying to present.
03
Frequent drug abuse
Can you escape this time
In recent years, the Korean entertainment industry has been exposed many times that there are artists who take drugs and abuse drugs.
The "Korean Hollywood" Chungmuro who was crowned by his acting skills is not innocent.
In 2021, Ha Zhengyu was summoned and banned from leaving the country for illegal use of propofol. However, in the end, the prosecutor did not make a judgment on drug use, and only fined Ha Zhengyu for injecting more than necessary sleep anesthesia during the operation.
In 2008, Zhu Zhixun was clearly found to be a drug addict, and later was identified by his lover as inducing drug use.
However, both men have turned over.
Ha Jung-woo returned with "Suriname" shortly after the scandal, basically unaffected, and still filmed.
After being briefly banned, Zhu Jihun was quickly re-accepted by the film industry and nominated for many awards, including Blue Dragon.
In 2019, a costume zombie film "Kingdom" made Zhu Jihun return to the top. Past scandals don't seem to exist.
Interestingly, Ha Jung-woo and Zhu Ji-hoon are still friends. Ha Jung-woo once publicly praised, "He is completely different from what I imagined, and his performance method is very classical and reassuring."
At present, Liu Yaren still has a lot of inventory on hand.
Netflix, which once made a lot of money because of Liu Yaren, has already filmed "Doomsday Fool", and "Hell Minister" is about to start filming for the second season, and the fate of the two productions is uncertain.
There are also two films scheduled for release this year: the movie "Victory and Defeat" co-starring Lee Byung-heon was originally scheduled to be released in April, and the other film "Hifive" is expected to be released in June.
At present, the film side intends to postpone the release time and wait for the announcement of the police.
These were all works worth looking forward to, but now there are only regrets left.
