Actress Kim Ji-soo was sentenced to a 10 million won ($8,950) fine for driving under the influence of alcohol and leaving the scene of an accident, the Seoul Central District Court said Monday.

Kim fled after hitting a taxi with her Audi near Cheongdam-dong in October. It is known that she drank champagne with friends before taking the wheel.

The popular actress is currently filming the period drama ``The King of Legend’’ on KBS.

This is not the first time Kim has been in this kind of trouble.

In 2000, she was arrested for drunk driving. Following her recent hit and run accident, Internet bloggers demanded that she be fired from her current role.
