On March 28, SBS News reported that actor Park Joong Hoon had been caught driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to the SBS News report, the police responded to a complaint about drunk driving at an apartment complex in the Gangnam district of Seoul at 10:20 p.m. on March 26. The complaint said there was someone who appeared to be driving drunk in an underground parking lot at the apartment, and when management staff tried to verify the person’s identity, they did not respond.
Police arrived at the scene and confirmed that the driver in question was movie actor Park Joong Hoon. Park Joong Hoon had drunk alcohol with an acquaintance before calling a designated driver who took them to the entrance of the acquaintance’s apartment complex. At the entrance, Park Joong Hoon dismissed the driver and drove himself for about 100 meters (about 328 feet) to the second floor of the underground parking lot. Park Joong Hoon’s blood alcohol level was revealed to be 0.176 percent, more than double the amount required to suspend a driver’s license (0.08 percent).
Park Joong Hoon had previously had his license suspended in 2004 for drunk driving in Gangnam District.
Namoo Actors issued a statement in response to this report.
Hi, I’m Namoo Actors.
This is our statement on actor Park Joong Hoon.
First, we share our deepest apologies for worrying about this bad news.
On the night of March 26, Park Joong Hoon had a drink with two acquaintances, and at 9 p.m., he called a designated driver service, and he and his friends split into two cars and drove to the friend’s house. Once inside the apartment complex, Park Joong Hoon dismissed the designated driver at the parking lot entrance and parked the car himself before falling asleep.
When the police arrived at the parking lot, Park Joong Hoon handed over his black box as requested and cooperated with the police investigation. The designated driver also testified in the investigation.
Regardless of the excuse, the agency feels deeply responsible for this issue having occurred and the actor is in deep self-reflection. We will see to it that this problem does not reoccur.
Once again, we apologize for causing concern and disappointment to fans who love Park Joong Hoon.
Park Joong Hoon has appeared in hit movies like “Two Guys”, “Nowhere to Hide”, “Radio Star” and “Haeundae”.
