The Criminal Division 1 of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Lee Seung-hoon) announced on the 9th that on the 5th, the case of Moon, suspected of violating the Public Health Control Act for 'illegal lodging business operation,' was transferred to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office.

Until now, Moon's DUI charge under the Road Traffic Act was investigated by the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office, while the Public Health Control Act violation charges were investigated separately by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office and the Jeju District Prosecutors' Office.

A representative from the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office explained, "It was judged inefficient for Moon to be investigated in three different locations, so the case was transferred."

Moon is suspected of colliding with a black taxi while changing lanes in front of the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, at 2:51 a.m. on October 5. At the time of the accident, Moon's blood alcohol concentration was found to exceed the license cancellation standard of 0.08%. Additionally, Moon is also suspected of using an officetel and villa she owns in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, for lodging business without business registration. At the Jeju District Prosecutors' Office, Moon is being investigated for operating a detached house in Hyeopjae-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeju, as an illegal lodging business.
