Big Bang member Daesung has paid his respects to the motorcyclist who died from a car accident he was involved in.
Big Bang's agency YG Entertainment said Friday that Daesung visited the motorcyclist's funeral hall yesterday, offering his condolences and apologies to the family of the bereaved.
Police said the taxi's driver had stopped his vehicle to call police after discovering the motorcyclist on the ground and bleeding, apparently from another accident, when Daesung hit them after failing to see them in time.
Police are now carrying out further investigation into whether Daesung was the cause of the death with the results for an autopsy on the motorcyclist set to come out around June 15.
Daesung is a member of Big Bang, one of the most popular boy bands in Korea since their debut in 2006 with numerous hit songs under their belt.
