Kim Ho-joong was booked on charges including hit-and-run (failure to take measures after an accident under the Road Traffic Act) after hitting a taxi coming from the opposite direction on a road in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, around 11:40 PM on the 9th.

Later, about three hours after the accident, Kim Ho-joong’s manager, Mr. A, appeared at the police station wearing the clothes Kim Ho-joong had been wearing and testified that he was the one who caused the accident. Kim Ho-joong appeared at the police station 17 hours after the accident, admitted to driving, but firmly denied the drunk driving charges.

Although the agency stated that Kim Ho-joong did not drink, the Gangnam Police Station reportedly received urine test results from the National Forensic Service on the 17th, indicating that Kim Ho-joong was judged to have consumed alcohol before the accident.

Accordingly, the police are considering adding drunk driving charges against Kim Ho-joong and have announced plans to expand the investigation into attempts by the agency to cover up the incident.

Meanwhile, Heo Kyung-hwan was suspected as one of the celebrities who accompanied Kim Ho-joong at a nightclub just before the hit-and-run accident. It is known that a famous rapper-turned-singer and comedians were also present, and Heo Kyung-hwan, who is in the same agency as Kim Ho-joong, was pointed out as one of the attendees.

Despite various controversies, Kim Ho-joong went ahead with the 'Trotarotti Classic Arena Tour' as scheduled on the afternoon of the 18th at the Changwon Sports Carf Gymnasium in Gyeongsangnam-do. On that day, Kim Ho-joong said, "The first word that comes to mind is 'regret.' All the truth will be revealed. I will take all the blame and wounds."

Kim Ho-joong will hold the second performance of the 'Trotarotti Classic Arena Tour' on the 19th at the Sangnamdo Changwon Sports Carf Gymnasium.
