Kang Apologizes for Drunk Driving, Hit-Run


Super Junior’s Kang In
K-Pop boy band Super Junior's Kang In, who was booked for beating up a patron in a bar brawl a month ago, was booked again Friday for fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident under the influence of alcohol, police said.

On the band's Web site, Kang posted a long letter to apologize to his fans. "I have nothing to say but say sorry thousands of times. I should have been more cautious but I'm really sorry for disappointing you again."

According to the police, Kang, while driving a rental car at a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour, caused an accident involving two taxis on a road in Gangnam, southern Seoul, at 3.10 a.m., Thursday. He hit the first taxi, which was pushed forward and hit the other cab in front.

The moment after the accidents, he got out of the car and ran from the scene. About six hours later, he surrendered himself to the police station in Gangnam. His blood alcohol level was 0.081 percent, high enough to have his license revoked.

Two taxi drivers and two passengers involved in the incident sustained no major injuries.
Police asked Kang to report to the police station Friday for investigation, but he had failed to appear by late afternoon. A police officer said they will summon him again.

MStevens: Yea I already read that on livejournal thanks. My point is not that the situations are the same but that the reaction from the Netizens is the same. They should find something productive to do with their time instead of playing judge and jury. That is my point. I'm not a fan of Kangin but I do like SJ and if he went to rehab or did community service, personally, it would be good for him. But that's not up to me. It's up to the Law and SM.

May I add that the economic consequences of having this guy leave Super Junior would be substantial!

Stop giving the guy a hard time. He had some soju with his friends. It is expensive to hail a cab at night, so he took his luxury foreign car. Just give him a suspended sentence or ask him to donate some money to charity.

Perhaps its time for this young man to do his military service.
