“After about 17 hours following the accident on the 10th around 4:30 p.m., Kim Ho-jung attended the police station for questioning. Although the police sent multiple text messages and calls to Kim, the owner of the vehicle, requesting attendance, he did not respond until later. This raises suspicions of attempting to conceal the drunk driving incident.”, “In response, Kim Ho-jung’s relative and the head of the agency Think Entertainment, Lee Kwang-deuk, released an official statement on the morning of the 16th, claiming that “Kim Ho-jung returned home first and got into an accident due to his inadequate driving skills while driving his personal car.” He argued that “Kim Ho-jung was overwhelmed after the accident, made a wrong judgment, and did not properly handle the accident by moving the vehicle.”, “The police view this representative’s claim as not credible, as there is an audio record where Kim Ho-jung confessed to drunk driving and asked the manager to attend on his behalf.”, “Therefore, the police have initiated a forced investigation. If the memory card in the black box of the accident vehicle is found, it could be used as evidence to prove the charges. If it is revealed that the agency organized the concealment, both Kim Ho-jung and the agency’s representatives, as well as managers, may face inevitable punishment for aiding and abetting in the escape.”, “[email protected]”, “[ Submit news tips to [email protected]]”, , [ Popular Articles ], , , , , , , , , , ,
