Actor Ryu Seung-beom was revealed to have received a fine for illegally driving in a bus-only lane while operating a vehicle belonging to his agency.

On the 23rd, W1 Entertainment issued an official statement, saying, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern to many due to reports regarding our affiliated actor," and added, "Upon verification, we confirmed that a fine was imposed for violating the bus-only lane rules while operating a company vehicle during a schedule."

The agency further stated, "We have completed payment of the fine immediately upon confirming the notice. Regardless of the circumstances, we bow our heads in apology for failing to strictly comply with traffic laws."

It also added, "Going forward, we will ensure stricter compliance with relevant laws and regulations when operating vehicles and will take even greater care in on-site management."

Previously, during the filming of the Netflix original movie "Good News," Ryu Seung-beom was caught driving a Carnival, a company support vehicle, multiple times to and from the filming site. In the process, he was caught using bus-only lanes on highways and in urban areas on several occasions, resulting in fines totaling several hundred thousand won issued to the agency's corporate account.

Under the current Road Traffic Act, only passenger cars and vans with a capacity of nine or more may use highway bus-only lanes. Specifically, for vehicles with a capacity of 12 or fewer, passage is permitted only when six or more passengers are on board. However, the seven-passenger Carnival driven by Ryu Seung-beom at the time was a vehicle type that was fundamentally not allowed to use bus-only lanes, regardless of the number of passengers.

Meanwhile, Ryu Seung-beom recently terminated his exclusive contract with W1 Entertainment after three years.
