Actor Lee Jae-ryong (61), who is suspected of causing an accident and fleeing (drunk hit-and-run) after driving under the influence of alcohol, bowed his head after a police investigation.

According to Newsis on the 10th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul called in Lee Jae-ryong, who is suspected of drunk driving and untreated after the accident, from 2 p.m. that day.

Lee Jae-ryong left the police station wearing a black suit at 6:16 p.m. and said, "I am very sorry for causing concern to many people for my wrong behavior. I told you everything, and I will faithfully follow the legal process in the future," he said, bending his head.

When asked if he admitted to driving under the influence, he replied, "I admitted it right away a long time ago," and the reason for fleeing after the accident was, "I did not recognize it. I will tell you separately later," he replied.

Lee Jae-ryong is accused of driving a vehicle near Cheongdam Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 at around 11 p.m. on the 6th and running away after receiving a median strip. The median strip was damaged about 20 meters and no casualties were reported. Lee Jae-ryong parked his vehicle at his home immediately after the accident, went to his acquaintance's house, and was caught by police about three hours later. At that time, he reportedly measured the blood alcohol level at the suspension level of his license in a breathalyzer test.

Lee Jae-ryong denied driving under the influence shortly after the accident, and later admitted to driving under the influence, saying he drank four glasses of soju before the accident. Lee Jae-ryong reportedly explained that he did not do so-called "drinking" to hide the fact of drinking.

This is the third time that Lee Jae-ryong's drinking problem has caught him. His license was revoked after he was booked for refusing to take a drunk driving accident in 2003, and in 2019, he was suspended from prosecution for damaging the bowling alley's standing board under the influence of alcohol in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

What makes Lee Jae-ryong's drunk driving more angry is that he appeared on the YouTube channel "Salty Brother Shin Dong-yeop" on the 23rd of last month and released it to the public proudly drinking alcohol.

There are also pitiful eyes on his wife, actor Yoo Ho-jung. Yoo Ho-jung recently made her comeback to the small screen after 11 years with KBS 2TV's "I Prescribe Love," so Lee Jae-ryong's drunk driving has led to rumors.

Lee Jae-ryong married actor Yoo Ho-jung in 1995 of KBS 2TV and has one son and one daughter.
