Singer Nam Tae-hyun, who caused a drunk driving accident during the probation period due to drug administration, will be sentenced to the first trial.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Criminal Chamber 11 of the Seoul Western District Court will hold a sentencing hearing for Nam Tae-hyun, who was indicted on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.

Nam Tae-hyun is accused of hitting a median strip while trying to overtake the vehicle in front of him near Dongjak Bridge in the direction of Ilsan, Gangbyeonbuk-ro, at 4:10 a.m. on April 27 last year.

No casualties occurred at the time, but Nam Tae-hyun's blood alcohol level was confirmed to be 0.122%, exceeding the license cancellation standard (0.08%). In addition, he is accused of violating the speed limit, including drunk driving. At the time of the accident, he was found to have driven 182 kilometers on a road with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour.

Earlier on the 12th of last month, the prosecution demanded a one-and-a-half-year prison term and a fine of 1 million won for Nam Tae-hyun, saying his crime was poor due to recidivism, high blood alcohol concentration, and detection during the probation period.

Nam Tae-hyun said in a final statement, "I was lucky enough to get popularity, honor, and economic rewards at a young age, but I know what happens when those things are given to someone who is not ready inside," adding, "I know that past actions are not acceptable." I will not let the same thing happen again," he said, appealing for leniency.

Nam Tae-hyun was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation for violating the Narcotics Control Act in 2024. In March 2023, he also received a summary order of 6 million won for causing a drunk driving accident during a drug investigation.
