[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] The son of Jongkundang Chairman Lee Jang-han, who is under police investigation for distributing sexual intercourse videos on SNS, has now been referred to trial on charges of drunk driving.

According to the legal community on the 6th, the 9th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Andongwan) indicted Lee (33) without detention on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act on the 28th of last month. Lee's trial will be handled by the 21st Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court. The trial schedule has not yet been set.

Lee was found by police on February 22 in Gangnam, Seoul, inside a car while intoxicated. At that time, Lee's blood alcohol concentration was 0.091%, which is at the license cancellation level. It is known that he has a history of drunk driving in the past.

Meanwhile, the police arrested Lee at the end of March on charges of filming a woman's body parts without consent and uploading the footage on Twitter (filming using a camera, etc., under the Sexual Violence Punishment Act) and applied for an arrest warrant, but it was dismissed by the court. The police are currently conducting supplementary investigations.
