Comedian Kim Dae-beom once again denied allegations of drunk driving surrounding him.

On the 6th, Kim Dae-beom posted on his Instagram: "There are still people leaving comments saying I drove after drinking, but I have never driven after drinking."

Kim Dae-beom stated, "Last year, an article reported that comedian K, born in 1979 and known for military-themed comedy, had drunk and driven. As a result, I, who am also born in 1979 and create military content, was suspected—not just suspected, but received malicious comments labeling me as someone who had drunk and driven."

He continued, "So I posted an explanation video. The comedian Kwon Seong-ho, who actually drove after drinking, appeared on my YouTube channel to apologize to me and the viewers, but no one paid attention to my explanation video."

Kim Dae-beom further emphasized, "Let me reiterate: I did not drive after drinking. And of course, I will never do it in the future."

Previously, Kim Dae-beom was involved in allegations from July 2024 that he had caused a traffic accident while drunk driving.

At the time, police announced they had non-detained and investigated a 40-year-old comedian, referred to as A, on suspicion of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving). A was accused of driving an SUV after drinking near Seoknam Expressway Exit on Incheon-daero (formerly Gyeongin Expressway) in Seoknam-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, and colliding with a guardrail. The SUV driven by A overturned in the accident, but A reportedly suffered no serious injuries. Blood alcohol concentration tests revealed levels of 0.08% or higher, which is sufficient for license revocation.

Notably, it was revealed that A debuted as an SBS public recruitment comedian in 2004 and appeared on SBS's "Search for Laughter" (hereinafter "Witchajasa"), leading to Kim Dae-beom and Kim Hyung-in, who also debuted as SBS public recruitment comedians in the same year, being identified.

In response, Kim Dae-beom at the time insisted he had no connection to the incident and expressed his sense of injustice.

Kim Dae-beom explained, "It's not me, a 40-year-old comedian. My car is not an SUV. Also, I can't drink alcohol these days due to eczema." He added, "Please stop leaving speculative comments. I haven't been able to drink for over 40 days because of eczema, and I hope to recover soon so I can enjoy a cold beer."
