Nam Tae-hyun, a former member of the group Winner, will head back to court after admitting to driving under the influence of alcohol committed during the drug probation period.

The Seoul Western District Court's Criminal Chamber 11 will hold its second hearing on Nam Tae-hyun's alleged violation of the Road Traffic Act on the 12th.

Nam Tae-hyun was accused of driving near Dongjak Bridge in the direction of Ilsan, Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Seoul, at 4:10 a.m. on April 27, 2025 with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.122%, exceeding the license revocation standard (0.08%).

At the time, he was known to have driven at 182 kilometers per hour, much faster than the maximum speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, and caused an accident that hit the median strip. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the accident.

This is the second time Nam Tae-hyun has been accused of drunk driving. In March 2023, while undergoing a drug-related investigation, he caused a traffic accident while drunk and received a summary order of 6 million won. In January last year, he was handed over to trial for violating the Narcotics Control Act with his former lover, Seo Min-jae, and was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation.

Later, Nam Tae-hyun entered the courtroom with yellow long hair tied at the first hearing. When the court asked, "Do you admit all the charges?" Nam Tae-hyun replied, "That's right."

Nam Tae-hyun also briefly stated that he is an office worker now.
