[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Bae Sung-woo and his agency have apologized after it was belatedly revealed that he was caught for drunk driving last month.

Bae Sung-woo was booked last month by the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving). At the time, his blood alcohol concentration was reportedly at the license cancellation level.

On the 10th, through his agency, Bae Sung-woo stated, "I sincerely apologize for delivering such unpleasant news to many people," and added, "I deeply feel responsible for my wrongdoing, which leaves no room for excuses or justifications."

Bae Sung-woo said, "I accept all criticism and deeply repent and reflect," and "I also apologize to many people I work with and will make every effort to prevent any harm."

He continued, "I will be cautious and careful in all aspects and remain humble so that such an incident never happens again," and "I bow my head once again to apologize to everyone who has supported me. I am sorry."

Bae Sung-woo is currently playing the lead role of reporter Park Sam-soo in SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama 'Fly, Gaechonyong,' gaining popularity for his righteous performance. Recently, there have been some schedule changes as Kwon Sang-woo underwent a COVID-19 (novel coronavirus infection) test.

An official said, "Although the filming was done in a pre-production format, the final scenes are currently being shot. Discussions regarding Bae Sung-woo’s appearances will be held afterward."

Bae Sung-woo debuted in 1999 with the musical 'Witch Hunt' and gained popularity through films such as 'Veteran,' 'Inside Men,' 'The King,' 'Beasts Clawing at Straws,' and the drama 'Live.' He is currently appearing in the drama 'Fly, Gaechonyong' and has upcoming film releases including 'Boston 1947' and 'Detective K.'
