Middle-aged actors who are over 60 years old are causing a stir every day. Actors who caused a stir for "drinking driving" in the past have been embroiled in controversy again. Recently, actor Lee Jae-ryong fled after driving under the influence of alcohol and was investigated by the police, and Nam Kyung-ju, a first-generation musical actor, is being investigated by the police on charges of "sexual violence." Criticism is mounting against those who cannot afford to live up to their age.

It was revealed on the 11th that musical actor Nam Kyung-ju (63) was handed over to the prosecution on charges of sexually assaulting a woman. The Seoul Bangbae Police Station sent Nam Kyung-ju to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office without detention last month on charges of adultery by force. He is suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in Seoul last year, and the victim reportedly left the scene and reported 112.

Nam Kyung-ju denied the crime in a police investigation, but the police sent the case to the prosecution, believing that the charges were admitted. Currently, Nam Kyung-ju's Instagram account has been deleted, and he has yet to disclose his official position regarding the incident. In the midst of this, Hongik University, where Nam Kyung-ju is an associate professor, has started personnel management measures. Hongik University announced on the 12th that it recently held a disciplinary committee against Nam Kyung-ju, who is an associate professor of performing arts. An official from Hongik University told Star News, "We are currently taking personnel measures." He added, "I conducted the class as an adjunct professor until last year, but there is no class this semester." It is explained that Nam Kyung-ju has already been excluded from his job and removed from his position. It is said that there has been no arrangement yet on whether he has been dismissed.

As an actor representing the first generation of Korean musicals, the news of Nam Kyung-ju's alleged sexual violence crime is shocking. If he, who teaches students, committed such a crime, it is even more unacceptable.

This is not the first time Nam has committed a crime. Nam Kyung-ju's license was revoked in December 2002 due to excess penalty points due to drunk driving, and then he was caught drunk driving again in June 2003 without a license. Even though his license was revoked, Nam Kyung-ju was booked without detention on charges of driving a car owned by his mother without a license on the road in front of Gyeonggi High School in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu in April 2004.

Actor Lee Jae-ryong (61) was also questioned by the police for driving under the influence of alcohol after his 60th birthday. Lee Jae-ryong is accused of driving near Samsung Central Station on Seoul Subway Line 9 at 2 a.m. on the 7th 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 concentration was known to be at the level of suspension of the license, and the police recently called in Lee Jae-ryong to conduct a police investigation.

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 Yoo Ho-jung, his wife. Yoo Ho-jung appeared on entertainment programs in the past and talked about running away from home due to Lee Jae-ryong's frequent drinking, and when Lee Jae-ryong said, "When I meet men, I have no choice but to drink," he even said, "Meet a woman."

Lee Jae-ryong married actor Yoo Ho-jung in 1995 and has one son and one daughter. Nam Kyung-ju is also married to a reporter-turned-wife who is 11 years younger and has a daughter. Nam Kyung-ju also appeared on entertainment programs and boasted about his wife's love and daughter. Public criticism continues over the irresponsible behavior of the two middle-aged actors with wives and children. It is coincidental because it resembles the past history of causing a stir by driving under the influence of alcohol.
