The police launched an investigation after discovering that singer Kim Ho-jung, famous for his nickname ‘Tvarotti’ (Trot + Pavarotti), had run away after causing a car accident.
Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced on the 14th that it is investigating Mr. Kim on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (after-accident measures).
Mr. Kim is suspected of running away after colliding with an oncoming taxi while changing course in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul around 11:40 pm on the 9th.
Afterwards, an official from Mr. Kim’s agency reportedly visited the police station and confessed that he, not Mr. Kim, was driving Mr. Kim’s vehicle.
However, during the police investigation, Mr. Kim returned home after stating that he had not driven the night before, but it is known that he eventually admitted to driving when questioned by the police.
The police believe that Mr. Kim may have been driving under the influence and are conducting a related investigation.
On this day, Kim’s agency, Saengkak Entertainment, said, “Kim Ho-joong had a car accident with a taxi on the evening of the 9th. When the accident occurred, Kim Ho-joong stopped his car in an alley and spoke on the phone with his manager, and in the meantime, the taxi driver called the police. “I reported it,” he said.
“Afterwards, the manager who found out about the situation said he would handle it and went to the police station and turned himself in, saying he was the driver,” he said. “After learning of this, Kim Ho-joong went directly to the police station for investigation and took a breathalyzer test. The test results showed no alcohol consumption. He added, “We are awaiting the results of the incident.”
He added, “At the time of the accident, Kim Ho-joong was so embarrassed that he was unable to properly handle the after-effects. We bow our heads in apology for causing social controversy, and our agency and Kim Ho-joong promise to do their best to handle the after-effects.”
Kim Ho-joong, who majored in vocal music, debuted in 2013 with the digital single ‘My Person’ and continued his career until recently. Kim Ho-joong received great love for appearing on TV Chosun’s trot competition program ‘Tomorrow is Mr. Trot’.
