Trot Icon Kim Ho Joong’s Drunk Driving Confession Stuns Fans
Trot singer Kim Ho-joong has posted a heartfelt message on his fan cafe, admitting to drunk driving ten days after the incident.
On the 19th, Kim Ho-Joong came forward with his confession, and his agency, Think Entertainment, issued an apology the same day, “We sincerely apologize for causing public concern due to the controversy surrounding our artist, Kim Ho-Joong, and our poor judgment. From the initial official statement to now, we were focused on hiding the situation. We sincerely apologize for not acting truthfully. Kim Ho-joong voluntarily appeared before the police, admitted to drunk driving, and will cooperate fully with the investigation.“
He also issued an apology, stating, “I want to express my sincere apologies for causing hurt and disappointment to many people due to my momentary poor judgment. I did drive under the influence. I deeply regret and reflect on my actions. I will sincerely cooperate with the police investigation.”
He further said, “I am truly sorry for hurting the pride of our Aris family with this incident. I know very well that one should never drive after drinking, even a single sip. It’s painful to see so many family members suffering because of my foolish decision. One should understand such things without having to experience them directly, but my foolishness disgusts me.”
The trot singer added, “What’s the point of a guilty person talking at length? Once the investigation is over and all results are out, I will return home. I sincerely apologize and will reflect deeply. To avoid betraying our family’s dreams, I think the only thing I can do is live diligently.“
Kim Ho-joong is under investigation for hitting an oncoming car and fleeing the scene around 11:40 p.m. KST on the 9th in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. At that time, a 30-year-old man named Mr. A, Kim Ho-joong’s manager, went to the police wearing Kim Ho-joong’s clothes from the accident and falsely claimed responsibility. Kim Ho-joong did not respond to the police’s request to appear but turned himself in 17 hours later.
Initially, Kim Ho-joong denied drunk driving but finally admitted to it ten days after the incident.
Here is the full statement from Kim Ho-Joong:
“I am truly sorry for hurting the pride of our Aris family with this incident.
I know very well that one should never drive after drinking, even a single sip.
It’s painful to see so many family members suffering because of my foolish decision. One should understand such things without having to experience them directly, but my foolishness disgusts me.
What’s the point of a guilty person talking at length?
I am still under investigation. Once the investigation is over and all results are out, I will return home.
I sincerely apologize and will reflect deeply.
To avoid betraying our family’s dreams, I think the only thing I can do is live diligently.
I will engrave each of these feelings in my heart and live accordingly.
I’m sorry.“
