'Han-blee' shines a light on the tragic drunk driving accident that struck a cherry blossom road.

In an episode of JTBC's 'Han Moon-cheol's Blackbox Review' (hereinafter 'Han-blee'), airing this afternoon on the 12th, the program highlights the heartbreaking story of bereaved family members who lost their wife and mother after being struck by a drunk driver last April.

The released footage captures a horrifying moment in broad daylight when a drunk-driving vehicle, weaving erratically across the center line, crashed directly into a couple taking photos on the shoulder of the road. Following this, an 119 emergency call recording featuring the husband's desperate pleas to save his wife is revealed, leaving the studio solemn.

The production team meets directly with the bereaved family to hear the full details of that day. The victim's husband recalls, "We were taking photos at a famous cherry blossom spot when I saw an abnormal vehicle approaching and tried to move away, but we collided in an instant and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I searched for my wife who had disappeared, only to find her face covered in blood."

The two children, who suddenly lost their mother overnight, express their heart-wrenching feelings: "I can only think of how sorry I am to Mom," and "It would have been better if I had died instead." Their sorrow deepens the audience's empathy. In particular, their daughter, a first-year high school student, shares her longing for her mother by saying, "I wish I could be reborn as your child. Then I want to care for you with love."

It is revealed that the perpetrator's blood alcohol concentration at the time of the accident was 0.137%, a level warranting license revocation, sparking public outrage. The offender claimed, "I have no memory from the moment I started driving until the accident occurred," and it was further disclosed that this was his third offense for drunk driving, fueling anger.

Even more shocking is the report that he suggested reaching a settlement for 100 million won. After being sentenced to six years in prison in the first trial, the perpetrator filed an appeal, delivering another blow of shock.

The broadcast also introduces an incident where a drunk man caused chaos on the road. The released footage shows a shocking scene of a shirtless male drunkard suddenly jumping onto a blackbox vehicle and repeatedly kicking the front windshield with his feet.

Furthermore, the whistleblower reports that when the drunkard attempted to open the driver's side door but failed, he climbed back onto the hood and continued kicking. The panelists exclaim, "It is too terrifying," as the drunkard did not stop his violent behavior even until he was taken into custody by the police.

Meanwhile, during the broadcast on this day, singer Yewon shouted "tears" as the correct answer, and comedian Lee Su-geun revealed that "Yewon cried a lot recently because she had been drinking." In response, Yewon unexpectedly shared an episode about crying on a national highway, drawing attention. The program airs at 8:50 p.m. on the 12th.
