Heartbroken: Park Hae-mi

Hwang Min, 45, the husband of famous actress Park Hae-mi, is under investigation for drunk driving that resulted in the deaths of two people Monday night.

According to police Tuesday, Hwang's Chrysler sedan, carrying four others, hit a 25-ton truck that was parked on the shoulder of a road at Guri, in Gyeonggi Province, about 11:15 p.m.

The incident left two people ― an actor, 31, and an actress, 19 ― dead and three others injured. The injuries are reportedly not life-threatening.

Police said Hwang's blood alcohol level was 0.104 percent ― over the license revocation limit ― at the time of the incident.

Speaking to Edaily, a local media outlet, Park said she is heartbroken over the news.

“I don't know if he would ever be forgiven (by the families of the victims),” she said. “The two were my students. It breaks my heart.”
