Around noon, when Shin woke up and said he wanted to receive another procedure, the clinic administered the sleep inducer and tranquilizer again.


Shin, who was given the sleep inducer twice, left the clinic around 8:05 p.m. CCTV footage captured Shin staggering and almost collapsing while walking toward the parking lot, unable to even support his own body.


At around 8:10 p.m. on the 2nd, Shin is suspected of driving a Rolls-Royce vehicle and rushing onto the sidewalk, injuring a woman in her 20s, Ms. A. After the accident, seven types of psychotropic drugs were detected in a forensic examination.


Shin was detained immediately after the accident but was released the next day, which sparked public criticism. In an interview on the YouTube channel 'Caracula Detective Agency' on the 10th, Shin claimed he did not clearly remember the situation at the time but said he provided first aid immediately after the accident and denied recent drug use. Public criticism against Shin intensified, and his past criminal record was revealed. In 2016, he was sentenced to one year in prison with three years of probation for using methamphetamine five times.


As a result of this accident, the victim suffered fractures in both legs and serious injuries to the abdomen and head, and entered a brain-dead state from the early morning of the 5th. According to the victim’s family, the medical staff treating the victim have advised the family to prepare themselves emotionally.



The court arrested Shin on the 11th, citing “concerns about evidence tampering.”
