According to the legal community on the 25th, a taxi driver in his 70s was sent to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office without detention on charges of homicide under the Special Act on Handling of Traffic Accidents on the 19th.
A is accused of attempting to change the lane from a road near Nanjicheon Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul to a driving lane rather than an overtaking lane after carrying a passenger, PD Lee, at 00:25 on the 22nd of last month, hitting a tourist bus and bumping into a light car that was the main driver.
At that time, it was found that A was driving while speeding. It has been confirmed that A suffered minor injuries and was not drunk at the time of driving.
Producer Lee Ju-hyung, who was in the back seat of the passenger seat, died at the scene with a serious head injury.
Producer Lee is said to have been injured while taking a taxi to return home after working overtime. In particular, PD Lee's wife is known to be expecting her first child in December, adding to the regret.
After the news of PD Lee's death was announced, seven PDs including Na Young-seok, Shin Hyo-jung, Park Hyun-yong, and Yoon In-hoe "Lee Joo-hyung was a sincere junior who always ran his best until the end with greater responsibility than anyone else."I'll remember his place where the lights were always on first, where he always carefully checked and organized what was needed for the program. I was happy to play "New Journey to the West" with PD Lee Joo-hyung.
Producer Lee joined CJ ENM in 2016 and participated in the production of "Three Meals a Day Gochang Pyeon" and "New Journey to the West" seasons 2 and 3, "Great Escape 4", "Korean Monster", "Somehow Adult", and "Comedy Big League".
