Actor Son Seung-won, 5 Drunk Driving Accidents?! Drama, Hit-and-Run, Driving Against Traffic, Profile, Instagram

As actor Son Seung-won is once again referred to trial on drunk driving charges, his past record is being re-examined.

 

The shock is particularly great because the individual, who had already served a prison sentence as the "first celebrity under the Yoon Chang-ho Act," committed drunk driving again after his release. The social repercussions are significant as this incident is not merely a repeat offense but his fifth drunk driving offense.

 

 

1. Current status of the case: Trial in progress for drunk driving while driving against the flow of traffic.

Son Seung-won was caught driving against the flow of traffic on Gangbyeonbuk-ro while intoxicated, and the prosecution has sought a four-year prison sentence.

 

Son Seung-won was arrested by the police last November after driving against the flow of traffic on Gangbyeonbuk-ro following alcohol consumption, and his blood alcohol concentration was confirmed to be more than double the legal limit for license revocation. He was subsequently referred to trial in February of this year and is currently awaiting sentencing in the first instance.

 

 

2. Not just simple drunk driving, but '5th arrest,' controversy over habitual offense

This is not the first time; it is the fifth offense committed while the perpetrator already has a history of four drunk driving offenses.

 

Son Seung-won has a history of being caught drunk driving multiple times in the past, and in particular, a 2018 incident caused significant controversy as he drove without a license, caused an accident, and fled the scene. Although he was sentenced to prison and served his time for that incident, controversy over him being a repeat offender is growing as he has gotten behind the wheel again since his release.

 

 

3. The first celebrity sentenced under the Yoon Chang-ho Act already has a history of prison terms.

Son Seung-won is the first celebrity to be subject to the 'Yoon Chang-ho Law,' which strengthened penalties for drunk driving.

 

At the time of the drunk driving accident in 2018, he crossed the center line, hit a vehicle, and fled, and his blood alcohol concentration was also very high.

The Yoon Chang-ho Act was applied in this case, and he was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison in the second trial.

 

 

4. Additional detection of driving without a license plus driving right before trial

It was additionally confirmed that he drove a vehicle without a license even while awaiting trial.

It was revealed that Son Seung-won drove a vehicle with his license revoked on the 8th, even while on trial for a drunk driving case, and it is known that he used the same vehicle as in his previous offense. This is being strongly criticized for his lack of awareness regarding recidivism and his disregard for the law.

 

 

5. Attempted destruction of evidence, even a request to remove the black box

It has been confirmed that Son Seung-won asked his girlfriend to remove the dashcam storage device immediately after being caught.

 

During the police investigation, he falsely claimed to have had an argument with a designated driver and simultaneously attempted to destroy evidence by sending a message to his girlfriend asking her to retrieve the car's dashcam. The severity of the case increased as it was confirmed that the dashcam had actually been removed and subsequently submitted to the police.

 

It is being strongly pointed out that this is not a simple mistake, but rather involves planning and habitual behavior due to repeated patterns and actions.

Many view this as a problem that goes beyond simple drunk driving, as the driver had been intoxicated prior to the crime, and the incident was followed by attempts to flee, destroy evidence, and make false statements.

 

 

6. Actor Son Seung-won Profile and Career History

Son Seung-won is an actor who has been active in musicals and dramas, but his activities in the entertainment industry have effectively been suspended at present.

However, his activities have virtually come to a halt following repeated drunk driving incidents.
