Actor Lee Jae-ryong (61) was arrested after fleeing after causing a drunk driving accident, and criticism against the alcohol entertainment show "Salty Brother" he recently appeared in is strong.

According to News 1 on the 7th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is investigating Lee Jae-ryong on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (such as inaction after the accident).

Lee Jae-ryong is accused of driving near Samsung Central Station on Seoul Subway Line 9 at 2 a.m. and hitting the median strip and running away. Fortunately, no one was reported injured.

Immediately after the accident, Lee Jae-ryong parked his vehicle at his house and went to his acquaintance's house and was arrested by the police. At that time, the blood alcohol level was known to have been at the level of suspension of the license, and police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.

When it was revealed that Lee Jae-ryong escaped after a drunk driving accident, a YouTube channel "Salty Brother Shin Dong-yeop" starring Lee Jae-ryong, Ahn Jae-wook, Yoon Da-hoon, and Sung Ji-ru as guests last month also came under fire.

This is Lee Jae-ryong's second drunk driving, and his license was revoked after he was previously booked for refusing to take a drunk driving accident in 2003. In 2019, he was suspended from prosecution for damaging the bowling alley's standing board under the influence of alcohol somewhere in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Ahn Jae-wook also caused a stir by revoking his license for a drunk driving accident in 2003 and being suspended for driving a hangover in 2019.

As the two people, who have only had a history of drunk driving several times, appeared on a drinking entertainment show and showed off their so-called "drinking pride" (drinking + pride), Internet users continued to criticize in the comments section, such as "Does it make sense that the performer still doesn't delete the video when he committed a crime, not just a mistake," "What kind of entertainment show is it to have a drinking party while calling out people who have drunk driving?" "It's a problem for a person who comes out on a drinking show after driving under the influence of alcohol," "Fastly drop the video," and "I want to stop watching a show where people drink.

However, the "Salty Brother" production team is only deleting critical comments and has not taken any action so far.
