Kim Jeong Hoon booked for suspected DUI incident
According to the police department, Kim Jeong Hoon was found changing course on the Nambu Ring Road in Ilwon-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul and he ended up colliding with a vehicle in front of him. The actor had allegedly refused police’s request to undergo a breathalyzer test three times. This incident happened on the 29th December around 3:30 AM KST. The police had earlier referred to the man as Mr. A, a singer and actor in his 40s and later, the identity was revealed as Kim Jeong Hoon.
As Kim Jeong Hoon is a renowned singer and is supposed to perform at a concert in Japan on January 19 and 20, the singer had asked the police to adjust the date of his in-person investigation to a later date, possibly after his concert.
