Actor

A prominent actor has been charged with drunk driving and is under investigation for allegedly assaulting a whistleblower. The actor, who has not been named, was taken into custody and faces prosecution for operating a vehicle under the influence.

On July 4, Seoul’s Seongdong Police Station referred Mr. A to the prosecution on suspicion of DUI. According to reports, Mr. A consumed alcohol at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at approximately 3:40 AM on July 2. 

After that, he got behind the wheel and drove approximately 3 kilometers to his residence in Seongdong-gu while intoxicated.

A preliminary breathalyzer test conducted at the scene revealed that Actor A’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeded 0.08%, the legal threshold for license revocation.

He is facing additional assault charges following a confrontation with reporters who had been tailing him from a Gangnam-gu restaurant. The reporter alleged that they were physically harmed, including being strangled, while Mr. A denies causing any injury. 

The police have concluded their investigation into the incident and plan to review CCTV footage from the scene to further investigate the assault charges against Mr. A.
