In the morning of the 30th, a final hearing was held at the Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Chamber 26 (Judge Choi Min-hye), including dangerous driving injuries and escape injuries under the Specific Crime Weighted Penalty Act, non-action after an accident under the Road Traffic Act, and criminal escape teachers.
On this day, the prosecution caused public resentment by committing serious and systematic acts of obstruction of justice" and asked Kim Ho-joong to be sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
In addition, Kim Ho-joong's head of Thought Entertainment, head of the division, and manager were sentenced to three years in prison, three years in prison, and one year in prison, respectively.
In response, Kim Ho-joong took this opportunity to apologize to the victim. Everything happened because of me. "I will live without a single mistake rather than doing well ten times. I'll reflect on myself and work hard," he said, appealing for leniency.
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.
At the second trial, Kim Ho-joong admits all charges", he explained that he had agreed with the victim of the drunk accident.
