Actor Lee Jae-ryong left the scene after a drunk driving accident and was investigated by the police. Among them, the police reportedly secured circumstantial evidence that Lee Jae-ryong drank while attending several drinking parties before the accident.

The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul summoned Lee Jae-ryong as a suspect for drunk driving and inaction after the accident under the Road Traffic Act at around 2 p.m. on the 10th and investigated him for about four hours.

Lee Jae-ryong appeared in front of reporters at around 6 p.m. after the investigation and said, "First of all, I am very sorry for causing concern to many people for my wrong behavior. First of all, I told the police investigation all the truth," he said.

When asked why he continued to drive after hitting the guardrail, Lee Jae-ryong answered, "I didn't recognize it that much," and when asked why he drove under the influence even though he already had the same history, he answered, "I was wrong."

According to MBN on the same day, the police are focusing on detecting the situation in which Lee Jae-ryong drank while moving to various drinking parties and using the 'Widmark Formula' to reverse the blood alcohol level at the time of the accident. It also focused its investigation into allegations of "drunkering," one of the key issues in the case.

Lee Jae-ryong left the scene after hitting a median strip near Cheongdam Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 at around 11 p.m. on the 6th, and was arrested at his acquaintance's house about three hours later. At that time, Lee Jae-ryong's blood alcohol level was at the level of license suspension.

At the time of the first investigation, Lee Jae-ryong denied the allegations and changed his words the next day that he drank four glasses of soju and drove under the influence of alcohol through his lawyer.
