[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A video capturing the scene of a drunk driving accident involving former Miss Korea and broadcaster Seo Ye-jin has been released.


On the 29th, SBS News' YouTube channel 'Video Mug' released a video showing Seo driving under the influence around midnight the previous night on Yangjaecheon-ro in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, hitting street trees twice.


In the video, Seo's white Benz vehicle is seen stopped after hitting a street tree. The vehicle was partially on the sidewalk, with both the front and side airbags deployed.


Seo, intoxicated, staggered and was unable to walk properly, and even while talking with the responding police officers, she was unable to maintain her balance.


When the police requested a breathalyzer test, Seo smiled brightly. Also, when asked if she was hurt anywhere, she raised her voice saying, "XX it hurts."


When Seo failed to properly complete the first breathalyzer test, the police said, "Hey, you can't do it like that. Ma'am, you have refused the first test."


Seo then took a second breathalyzer test and sobbed with tears. According to the police breathalyzer results, Seo's blood alcohol concentration at the time was 0.108%, which is above the license cancellation limit.


The police have booked Seo on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act and plan to investigate the circumstances of the incident.


Meanwhile, Seo participated in the 2018 Miss Korea finals and was selected as a runner-up. She later worked as a morning show reporter.



Currently, Seo's SNS accounts are set to private, and her side has not yet issued an official statement.
