Shin Hye Sung was arrested after a meeting with acquaintances at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu at around 11 p.m. on October 10 when he fell asleep on the road in a stolen vehicle while returning home with the key delivered by a restaurant’s ballet parking staff and refused to take a sobriety test.
There is no excuse for the fact that he drove under the influence of alcohol and Shin Hye Sung’s behavior of driving without knowing that it was not his vehicle. We’re so sorry to everyone.
