Mr. A is accused of driving a sports utility vehicle (SUV) while intoxicated around 1:30 a.m. near the Seoknam exit on Incheondaero in Seoknam-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, and crashing into a guardrail. The vehicle overturned in the accident, but Mr. A was reported to have sustained no serious injuries.


The blood alcohol concentration measured by the police at the scene was above 0.08%, the legal limit for license cancellation. It is known that there were no passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident.


Mr. A, who debuted in 2004, gained popularity in the past with a comedy corner based on military barracks but has not been very active in broadcasting recently.



A police official stated, "The accident caused some damage to Mr. A's vehicle and the guardrail, but no other damages have been identified," adding, "We plan to summon Mr. A soon to investigate the specific circumstances of the drunk driving."
