Singer Eru apologized for drunk driving charges.
On the afternoon of the 1st, Yiru attended the first hearing on four charges, including aiding and abetting criminal escape, aiding and abetting drunk driving, drunk driving and speeding under the Road Traffic Act, at the hearing of Chief Judge Jeong In-jae of Criminal 11 of the Seoul Western District Court.
He admitted most of the charges that day and said, "I am very sorry that something happened that shouldn't have happened. I will reflect on myself in the future and be careful not to let this happen."
Yiru is accused of switching drivers with fellow passenger, professional golfer A, even though he drove the car in a drunken state in September of last year.
In addition, on December 19 of last year, Eru was intoxicated at the level of license suspension and was charged with causing a traffic accident (violation of the Road Traffic Act) by crashing into a road guardrail near Dongho Bridge in the direction of Guri, Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Seoul. At the time, an acquaintance B, who was drunk while drinking together, was charged with aiding and abetting drunk driving by having his vehicle moved and parked.
