At singer Kim Ho-joong's first trial, there were people impersonating their mothers, and even enthusiastic fans who shed tears and cheered for their stars appeared, raising eyebrows.
On the afternoon of the 10th, Detective 26 of the Seoul Central District Court (judge Choi Min-hye) held the first hearing on Kim Ho-joong, who was arrested and charged with dangerous driving injuries and running injuries under the Specific Crime Aggravated Punishment Act, and inaction after an accident under the Road Traffic Act.
Kim Ho-joong's first trial lasted 15 minutes, and Kim Ho-joong's lawyers said they could not read the case records and said they would clarify their position on the charges on the next day.
Lee Kwang-deuk, CEO of the agency, Thinking Entertainment, who was accused of destroying evidence, Jeon, head of Thinking Entertainment, who was accused of abetting drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act, and Jang, manager, admitted to the indictment. The lawyers of the three men said "All the charges are admitted"

Fans lined up for the court from an early hour to enter the courtroom, where the number of audience seats was limited, and dozens of fans eventually entered the courtroom, and most of the audience seats were occupied by Kim Ho-joong's fans.
Fans even saw some fans shed tears as Kim Ho-joong limped into the courtroom.
In the midst of this, there was also a happening in which a woman named Kim Ho-joong's mother appeared.
This woman is "My child is wrong. It's because the child is scared. I hope you don't hate me too much", he appealed.
Later, it turned out that the woman was not Kim Ho-joong's biological mother.
Earlier, Kim Ho-joong is accused of running away after hitting a taxi while drinking and driving on the road in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, at around 11:40 p.m. on May 9, and having his manager turn himself in instead.
In particular, according to police statements and closed-circuit television (CC) by employees of entertainment establishments visited by Kim Ho-joong just before the accident during the police investigation, Kim Ho-joong was estimated to have drank more than three bottles of soju at the time.
However, considering that Kim Ho-joong drank several times at time intervals, the prosecution did not apply the drunk driving charge, judging that it was difficult to specify the drinking level only by calculating reverse estimates over time.
Kim Ho-joong agreed with the taxi driver, who was the victim of the accident, ahead of the first trial. In addition, Kim Ho-joong initially appointed Cho Nam-gwan, a former acting prosecutor general, and three lawyers for Dae-hwan, a law firm, but they have resigned.
