A woman impersonating her mother appeared at the first hearing of singer Kim Ho-joong (33), suspected of hitting and running, causing great confusion.

On the 10th, Judge Choi Min-hye of the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial of Kim Ho-joong, who was indicted on charges of violating the law on the aggravated punishment of certain crimes (hazardous driving injuries), failing to take action after accidents under the Road Traffic Act, and a criminal evacuation teacher.

Many reporters and fans gathered at the scene of the trial. In particular, when Kim Ho-joong entered the courtroom with his limp legs, some audience members showed tears and expressed regret.




Among them, a woman who claimed to be Kim Ho-joong's mother appeared. In an interview with a media outlet, he said, `Please write as it is. My child (Kim Ho-joong) is right. It's because the child is scared. I hope you don't hate me too much" he appealed. However, this woman was not Kim Ho-joong's mother, and in reality, only her father was known to have visited the scene. The interview article has been deleted at the request of the media.

At the trial, Kim Ho-joong did not say whether he admitted the charges. He said he would state his position at the next trial on the grounds that he had not yet been able to read the case records.

Kim Ho-joong is accused of leaving the scene without any action after colliding with an oncoming taxi on a road in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at around 11:40 p.m. on May 9. Later, it was revealed that he tried to cover up the drunk driving by changing the driver and damaging the vehicle's black box memory card, and Kim Ho-joong was arrested along with the head of the agency and the head of the division.




However, Kim Ho-joong's charge of drunk driving was ruled out at the prosecution stage. In response, a prosecution official said "As Kim Ho-joong drank several times at a time interval, the police could not confirm the drinking level only by the way they calculated reversely."," he was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Kim Ho-joong's second trial will be held at 10 a.m. on August 10.
