[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Actor Park Jung-hoon (55) has been referred to the prosecution on charges of drunk driving.

On the 19th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that Park, suspected of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act, was sent to the prosecution on the 16th.

Park is accused of driving about 100 meters from the entrance of an acquaintance's apartment to the underground parking lot in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, in a heavily intoxicated state around 9:30 PM on the 26th of last month.

It was investigated that Park called a designated driver to arrive at the apartment entrance but sent the driver away and drove himself afterward. His blood alcohol concentration exceeded the license cancellation level (0.08%).

Police who responded to a report from an apartment staff confirmed Park's drunk driving at the scene. It was reported that Park did not cause a collision accident during the drunk driving.

Park previously had his license revoked in 2004 due to a drunk driving incident.
