A Word from Mundaehye Who Underwent 4 Hours of Police Investigation: "I'm Sorry"

"I Will Live Reflecting and Repenting"

"I am sorry."

After completing the police investigation, Moon Jae-in's daughter, Dahye Moon, repeatedly apologized while covering her face as if overwhelmed when asked about her position by reporters.

Yonhap News reported on the 18th that Dahye Moon appeared at the police station 13 days after the drunk driving accident and was investigated for about four hours before returning home. Earlier, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul summoned Moon as a suspect on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving) for questioning that afternoon.

About 4 hours and 10 minutes after the investigation began, Moon came out of the police station at 5:54 p.m. that day, bowing her head. With her head lowered and a somber expression, she responded to the barrage of questions from reporters such as "Did you admit all the charges?", "Please say something," "Were you also investigated for other traffic violations?", "Why did you drive under the influence?", and "Is this your first time drunk driving?" by repeatedly saying, "I am sorry." She then got into the white vehicle she had arrived in.

Earlier, at around 2:51 a.m. on the 5th, Moon was driving in front of the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, when she changed lanes and collided with a taxi following behind. She was caught driving under the influence and was booked on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving).

At the time of the police breathalyzer test, Dahye Moon's blood alcohol concentration was 0.149%. This is a state where physical and mental control functions are significantly impaired, exceeding the license cancellation level (0.08% or higher).

The police investigated Moon regarding the circumstances of the drunk driving, violations of traffic laws such as illegal parking and signal violations, passengers in the vehicle, and any history of unpaid fines. It was understood that Moon admitted to most of the charges.

On the afternoon of the 18th, Moon, who appeared at the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul, shared an apology statement with reporters, saying, "I am ashamed and sorry. I will reflect on this and live so that such an incident never happens again." She added, "I sincerely apologize once again to the taxi driver and their family who were harmed by my wrongdoing." Dahye Moon also expressed gratitude to the victim, saying, "Thanks to the taxi driver reporting the incident, I was able to stop driving and avoid a bigger accident. I am also grateful that the victim accepted my apology after the accident."

She continued, "I deeply regret drinking so much and driving, which led to the accident," and said, "Many people were worried and scolded me for drunk driving. I will reflect on myself and live so that no one will worry again."

Meanwhile, the taxi driver sustained minor injuries but reportedly did not submit a medical certificate of injury to the police after reaching a settlement with Moon's side.

If the injured taxi driver does not submit a medical certificate, Moon is likely to be punished only for drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act, not for violating the Special Act on the Treatment of Traffic Accidents.
