According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom and Xingta O Daily, popular Taiwanese singer Chi Jun (25) hit three taxi drivers on the side of the road while driving on Sini-ro in Jilin City, northern Taiwan, at around 4 a.m. on the 27th of last month.
Two drivers were taken to a hospital in a critical condition, and one of them, a 48-year-old driver, died on Jan. 3 due to his critical condition. The other was scratched. The drivers pulled up a taxi on one side of the road and were on a shift.
The police checked CCTV footage to find the driver who caused the hit-and-run accident and investigated after finding that the owner of the vehicle was Chi-jun's father. However, it turned out that the person who was driving at the time was Chi-jun.
Chi-jun, who appeared at the police two days after the accident, said "I thought I bumped into a stone"He denied the accusation of a hit-and-run.
Police said they suspected drunk driving as a result of identifying his movements. As a result, he was booked without detention on charges of escape from hit-and-run, manslaughter, and drunk driving.
Even in this situation, the performance proceeded normally.
He attended three New Year's Eve concerts held on the night of December 31 and took the stage. After the performance, he posted on social media "Thank you for joining us for three performances on New Year's Eve like last year. Let's get better together in 2025." He even posted a thank you message to his fans.
