[OSEN=Reporter Ha Su-jeong] Comedian Heo Kyunghwan clarified the rumor that he was in the same drinking session as Kim Ho-jung.
On the 19th, Heo Kyunghwan posted a picture with the caption “It’s not me. Thank you all for your concern. May is the month of family.”
In the publicized photo, Heo Kyunghwan, his mother, and adorable nephews are seen taking a lovely certification shot.
In particular, Heo Kyunghwan directly addressed and clarified the rumor that had spread, stating, ‘Kim Ho-jung, a famous comedian, was rumored to be in the same drinking session,’ which gained attention. Recently, netizens on various YouTube channels and online communities conducted investigations, guessing the identities of ‘the rapper-turned-singer and famous comedian who went to an entertainment bar with Kim Ho-jung.’ In the process, Heo Kyunghwan, who is under the same agency as Kim Ho-jung, was also unfairly misunderstood.
In response, Heo Kyunghwan took to his social media to clarify the rumor by saying, “It’s not me.”
Meanwhile, according to the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, Kim Ho-jung caused a traffic accident while driving under the influence on the night of the 9th in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. However, after the accident, he left the scene without taking any action and was charged with hit-and-run and failure to report an accident under the Traffic Act. During the process, it was revealed that Kim Ho-jung had visited an upscale entertainment bar in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu before the accident, adding to the shock.
Following the accident, Kim Ho-jung’s manager tried to cover up the incident by falsely admitting to driving while wearing the clothes Kim Ho-jung wore at the time of the accident. On the other hand, Kim Ho-jung attended the police 17 hours after the accident, admitting to driving but completely denying the drunk driving accusation, leading to criticism. However, the police received a urine analysis result indicating that Kim Ho-jung had consumed alcohol before the accident, and they are considering additional charges of drunk driving, as well as announcing plans to expand the investigation into attempts by the agency to cover up the incident.
