Actor Kim Sae-ron, who was charged with drunk driving, was found to have a blood alcohol level at the time of the accident.
The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul reported that Kim’s blood test result from the National Forensic Research Institute yesterday was at a level of license revocation with a blood alcohol concentration of over 0.08%.
The police said that they plan to hand over Kim to the prosecution on charges of drunk driving and non-action following the accident following investigating Kim without detention.
In addition, a passenger who was in the car at the time of the accident will also be handed over to the prosecution on charges of aiding drunk driving.
Previously, Kim was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol near the Hakdong intersection in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul around 8 am on the 18th of last month, and collided with a guardrail and a street tree.
At that time, Mr. Kim also hit a transformer, causing a power outage to the nearby shops for four and a half hours.
Kim’s agency, Gold Medalist, said, “We have not been informed of the results of the blood test from the police.”
