Actor Yoo Ah‑in has been swept up in rumors of a comeback after three years with director Jang Jae‑hyun's new work.
On the 17th, a representative of Yoo Ah‑in's agency UAA cautiously said regarding reports that he would appear in director Jang Jae‑hyun's new film "Vampire," "nothing has been decided yet."
Earlier that day, one outlet reported that Yoo Ah‑in would return in director Jang Jae‑hyun's new film "Vampire" (vampire). "Vampire" uses vampires as its subject and is known to have been inspired by Bram Stoker's classic novel "Dracula." It is scheduled to begin filming in the second half of next year, and following "The Priests," "Svaha: The Sixth Finger," and "Exhuma," it is expected to further expand director Jang Jae‑hyun's occult universe.
Yoo Ah‑in halted activities after coming under police investigation for habitual drug use starting late 2022. Eventually tried on charges of violating the Act on the Control of Narcotics (psychotropic drugs), he was finally sentenced in July this year by the Supreme Court to one year in prison with a two‑year suspended sentence and fined 2 million won.
Meanwhile, as news spread that Yoo Ah‑in would appear in "Vampire," attention has focused on whether this will mark his return after three years. During the trial, works such as "The Match," "High Five," and "Goodbye Earth" were also released, but because they had been filmed before the controversy, this would be considered his official comeback. However, Yoo Ah‑in's side declined to comment on appearing in "Vampire," saying "nothing has been decided."
Since entering the entertainment industry in 2003, Yoo Ah‑in has been active in a variety of works including the films "Punch" (Wandeugi), "Veteran," "The Throne," "Burning," and the dramas "Raising a Family," "Sungkyunkwan Scandal," "Secret Affair," "Six Flying Dragons," and "Hell".
