Jul 10, 2024

A male actor in his 40s was investigated by the police on charges of assaulting citizens B and C, who reported for not driving under the influence.

On the 9th, the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul said it is investigating A for assault.

A is accused of driving drunk for about 3km to his home in Seongdong-gu after drinking at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul at around 3:40 a.m. on the 2nd. In addition, A is accused of assaulting B and C, who reported to the police after suspected drunk driving. In an interview with JTBC, B and C claimed that A threatened to take pictures of their faces and car license plates, saying, `I will not leave you alone.'

At that time, A's blood alcohol concentration was at the level of revocation of his license (more than 0.08%).

The police first sent A's drunk driving charges. However, regarding the alleged assault, we are checking the facts by crossing the statements of the victim and A.

Mr. A claimed through MBC that he drank about half a bottle of soju with his acquaintances and drove under the influence because he was not caught, but B and C, who had tattoos, approached him and threatened to report it to the media, taking a video, and did not injure him. Also, Mr. A filed a complaint against Mr. B and Mr. C.

Mr. A is known to be a former terrestrial public recruitment talent.
