Actress Yoo Ha-na is facing controversy for proceeding with her fan meeting amid the drunk driving scandal involving her husband, Lee Yong-gyu.

On the 15th, Yoo Ha-na posted a photo of her bandaged hand on Instagram along with the caption: "I can't believe I tore my hand apart just before my first-ever fan meeting and signing event."

She added, "I can't even feel how many stitches were put in."

It is reported that Yoo Ha-na is preparing for a fan meeting and signing event. However, holding the event so soon after her husband Lee Yong-gyu retired from his career due to a drunk driving incident has sparked intense debate.

Previously, on the 12th last month, Lee Yong-gyu was driving under the influence of alcohol on a six-lane road in Achon-dong, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, and collided successively with a U-turning vehicle coming from the opposite direction and a patrol car parked by the roadside.

As a result of the accident, a 60-year-old male driver of the U-turning vehicle and one police officer inside the patrol car were injured. At the time, Lee Yong-gyu's blood alcohol concentration was at the level of "license revocation" (0.08% or higher), and he was formally charged under the Road Traffic Act for drunk driving and other offenses.

Lee Yong-gyu became an infamous retiree due to this accident. Kiwoom said, "Coach Lee Yong-gyu has admitted his fault without any excuse, deeply reflected on his actions, expressed his intention to conclude his professional career while fully accepting responsibility, and the team has accepted this."

When news of Lee Yong-gyu's drunk driving accident spread, the backlash extended to his wife, Yoo Ha-na. Criticism of Lee Yong-gyu continued on Yoo Ha-na's SNS. However, Yoo Ha-na proceeded with her fan meeting event about a month after the controversy erupted, placing herself under scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Yoo Ha-na married Lee Yong-gyu in 2011 and has two sons.
