The Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Chamber 26 (judge Choi Min-hye), which will hear the case on the 23rd, said Kim Ho-joong requested bail on the 21st.
Jewelry refers to a system in which the accused is released on conditions such as paying a deposit set by the court and promising to attend a trial.
At the trial held on the 19th, Kim Ho-joong admitted all the facts of the indictment", he explained that he had agreed with the victim of the drunk accident. In response, the court said it would hold a final hearing at 10 a.m. on September 30 after reviewing the evidence records.
Meanwhile, Kim Ho-joong is accused of drinking and driving on the road in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, at around 11:40 p.m. on May 9, crashing into a taxi, and making his manager turn himself in instead. Although he admitted to drinking alcohol, he did not have a record because he attended the police late after fleeing, and he did not apply the drunk driving charge because he believed it was difficult to specify the drinking level only by reverse calculation over time. Currently, Kim Ho-joong's arrest period has been extended by two months and changed to October.
