Former national soccer team player Kim Young-kwang apologized amid controversy over revenge driving.
On the 9th, Kim posted on his Instagram, "I am sorry for causing worry and concern to many people due to the recent reports," bowing his head in apology.
He stated, "Through this incident, I have come to reflect on my judgment and actions while driving. In any situation, momentary judgment should not take precedence over safety, and I have once again realized that one must consider the safety and perspective of others on the road."
Previously, "SBS 8 News" reported that a complaint was filed alleging that former national soccer team player A committed revenge driving around a tunnel in Mapo-gu, Seoul, last March.
It is reported that when a taxi proceeding straight ahead moved toward the tunnel before an SUV attempting to turn right, the SUV overtook the taxi while making loud noises and cut in front of it, engaging in threatening driving behavior. In particular, a no-overtaking sign was posted at the tunnel entrance section.
In response, police determined that there was insufficient evidence to suggest the other party intended to cause harm, and issued a non-referral and non-prosecution disposition last June. The taxi driver appealed to the Prosecution Service, but the Prosecution Service also issued a non-prosecution disposition, stating that "the intent is not clear."
However, attorney Han Moon-chul, who viewed this, was surprised by the reckless driving behavior while discussing the video.
Kim reflected, saying, "I cooperated sincerely with the police investigation and have received a non-referral and no-cause disposition to date. Regardless of the legal judgment, I am taking it seriously that my driving style may have caused anxiety or inconvenience to others. I will not take this lightly or justify it. I will review my driving habits more strictly and act more cautiously and responsibly in any situation."
Meanwhile, since retiring from soccer, Kim has been active on various variety shows such as SBS's "Same Bed Different Dreams 2-You Are My Destiny," JTBC's "Yes Man," and Wavve's "Blood Game 3."
