Actor Yoo Ah-in has been indicted without detention on charges of illegal drug use, according to the prosecution on Thursday.
The prosecution had previously requested an arrest warrant for Yoo, which the court denied twice.
He is facing charges of illegal use of seven different drugs: propofol, marijuana, ketamine, cocaine, midazolam and alprazolam.
Yoo, whose real name is Uhm Hong-sik, tested positive for cannabis in February when the police executed a search and seizure warrant on the actor. A detailed drug screen in March returned positive results for propofol and other illegal drugs.
