'DUI after leaving bar without paying' ... Police book actor-Youtuber A for drunk driving

An individual identified as A, who is active as both an actor and a Youtuber, has been booked by police and is under investigation for driving under the influence.

According to a legal and police sources via TV Daily on the 17th, the Seoul Songpa Police Station is currently investigating A on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.

A is accused of driving his car after drinking alcohol at a bar in Garak-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 15th. When police caught him, his blood alcohol level was high enough to get his driver's license suspended.

This incident came to light after the bar reported a dine-and-dash case. Police responded to a report that 'a customer left without paying for his drinks and food and drove away,' which led them to catch A.

Regarding the unpaid bill, A explained that he 'simply forgot to pay for the meal.' It is reported that after being caught, he returned to the bar and paid the full amount he owed.

A police official stated, "We are currently investigating the exact details of the cast, focusing on the drunk driving allegation."
