Shin Hye-seong's probation for drunk driving 're-offence'

While singer Shin Hye-sung was sentenced to six months in prison and one year of probation for drunk driving, interest is also focused on the sentences of drunk driving celebrities.

In August last year, Moon Jun-young, a former idol of the group ZE:A, was fined 8 million won for drunk driving. He was caught by the police while driving his car while drunk near Sinsa-dong. It was reported that Moon Joon-young's blood alcohol level at the time was 0.113%, a level that would result in license revocation.

In May 2021, Lizzy had an accident while driving while drinking near the southern end intersection of Yeongdong Bridge in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, crashing into a taxi in front of her. At the time, his blood alcohol level was at the level of license cancellation, and he was sentenced to a fine of 15 million won.

Kim Sae-ron was driving drunk in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul around 8 a.m. on May 18 last year and hit a guardrail and a street tree several times. In the process, it hit a transformer, cutting off electricity supply to 57 nearby stores for about three hours. Judge Lee Hwan-ki of Criminal Division 4 of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Kim Sae-ron to a fine of 20 million won.
