Nam Tae-hyun, a former member of the idol group WINNER, was caught on charges of speeding under the influence of alcohol while on probation, and gave his update ahead of the sentence.

Nam Tae-hyun released a photo on the 5th to announce his status.

The picture shows the laptop screen and the view of the window. Especially, the laptop screen says, "Wow, the weather is nice. It's a little cold. No, it' The phrase "Good and fair" is written.

Nam Tae-hyun was accused of driving near Dongjak Bridge in the direction of Ilsan, Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Seoul, at 4:10 a.m. on April 27, 2025 with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.122%, exceeding the license revocation standard (0.08%).

At the time, he was known to have driven at 182 kilometers per hour, much faster than the maximum speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, and caused an accident that hit the median strip. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the accident.

This is the second time Nam Tae-hyun has been accused of drunk driving. In March 2023, while undergoing a drug-related investigation, he caused a traffic accident while drunk and received a summary order of 6 million won. In January last year, he was handed over to trial for violating the Narcotics Control Act with his former lover, Seo Min-jae, and was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation.

Since then, the Seoul Western District Court's Criminal Chamber 11 held a second trial date on March 12 for Nam Tae-hyun's violation of the Road Traffic Act. On the same day, the prosecution demanded a year and a half in prison and a fine of 1 million won for Nam Tae-hyun, who admitted all of his charges, saying the crime was poor due to recidivism, high blood alcohol concentration, and detection during the probation period.

Nam Tae-hyun read what he had written in his final statement and said, "I have lived as a singer until 2025, starting with my trainee life in the 3rd year of 2009. "I've always been under pressure to create and express something in an environment that's a little different from normal life, and in the process, I've lived by wrapping immaturity, deficiency, and foolishness with things like emotional expression, inspiration, and depression," he said.

"When I looked back, I belatedly realized that it was an excuse in the end. I was lucky enough to gain popularity, honor, and financial burden at a young age. But I think I'm an example of what happens when those things are given to someone who is not ready inside," he said.

Nam Tae-hyun said, "I was really stupid and stupid, had a bad influence on others and had depression. Then, I blamed the next thing and blamed the world, he said. "But now I realize that all the causes were on myself, and I eventually learned to change myself and to change my life. I am well aware that my actions in the past can never be tolerated, and please help me not to repeat the same thing again," he appealed for leniency.

Nam Tae-hyun is set to be sentenced on the 9th for the charges.
