Police “Leave the scene without taking proper action… License cancellation level” ▲ Empty air. Empathy Entertainment website Heo Gak and his older brother Heo Gong (38), who are twin singers, were caught by the police while driving under the influence.
The Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that it is investigating and booked Mr. Heo without detention on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving and failure to take action after an accident).
Mr. Heo is accused of drinking alcohol and driving a vehicle in the area of Seojeong-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, around 9:30 a.m. on the 11th of last month. He is known to have had an accident while driving his car after drinking nearby and crashed into a wall in a residential area.
The police responded to a 112 call saying, “There is a vehicle staggering in and out of the lane,” and found Heo’s vehicle after being dispatched. As a result of a breathalyzer test, it was reported that Mr. Heo’s blood alcohol level was at a level that would result in his license being revoked.
A police official said, “It was discovered that Heo crashed into a wall and left the scene without taking proper action, so we also charged him with failing to take action after an accident under the Road Traffic Act.”
Meanwhile, his agency, Gonggam Entertainment, said, “Heo Gong is currently reflecting a lot on the allegations,” and “He is suspending all activities and self-reflecting.”
