Actor Yoon Je-moon is under investigation for alleged drunk-driving, his agency said on Tuesday.

Police said they caught Yoon at 7 a.m. on May 23 sleeping in his car parked in the middle of the road in Shinchon, Seoul. His blood-alcohol level was 0.104 percent, a level that allows license cancellation.

“Yoon has admitted his wrongdoing and deeply apologized for that,” his agency said.

The Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office is leading the investigation.

Yoon, 46, debuted in 1999 in the play “Ode to Youth.” He has appeared in several hit TV dramas including “The King 2 Hearts (2012)” and “Last (2015).”
