The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul booked Kim Sae-ron on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act on the 18th. At around 8 am on the same day, the police arrived and caught Kim Sae-ron, who was driving, following receiving reports from several citizens that “the vehicle driving in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu is noticeably shaking.” When Kim Sae-ron blew the alcohol detector, it came out positive, so the police tried to measure the blood alcohol level, but Kim Sae-ron refused and requested blood.
Kim Sae-ron, while driving a black SUV, crashed into a guard rail, a transformer, and a street tree several times on the same day. In this accident, the transformer was damaged, and electricity was temporarily cut off in four shopping malls and street lights in the neighboring buildings, and restoration work was carried out.
Afterwards, the agency’s Gold Medalist said, “Kim Sae-ron conducted a blood test for an accurate test, and following the test, she was sent home without any other investigation under the accompaniment of her guardian.” It has been criticized for making a statement.
