As actor Go Kyung-pyo (36) apologized for the controversy surrounding his drunk driving, the production team of MBC’s “What’s Up?” (hereinafter “Nolmwo”) issued a statement.

On the morning of the 14th, the “Nolmwo” production team stated, “Go Kyung-pyo’s appearance will be edited as much as possible to ensure no inconvenience to viewers before being broadcast.”

Initially, Go Kyung-pyo was scheduled to appear in the “95 Seoul Song Festival” project of “Nolmwo,” which aired that afternoon. He had already been listed as one of the 18th finalists for the “95 Seoul Song Festival” in previous episodes, and was expected to continue his activities under the nickname “Sleepless Night in Seattle.”

However, Go Kyung-pyo caused a traffic accident while driving severely intoxicated in the early hours of the 14th. On that day, his agency, CLE Company, stated, “We deeply apologize to those who were harmed by Go Kyung-pyo’s drunk driving accident,” adding, “Go Kyung-pyo was involved in an accident with a garbage truck while driving under the influence of alcohol in the early hours of today (the 14th). The blood alcohol concentration test confirmed that his level exceeded the threshold for license revocation.”

They further stated, “Go Kyung-pyo has completed the police investigation and returned home. He acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it.”

Additionally, they said, “We are taking the seriousness of the wrongdoing of drunk driving very seriously, and we will humbly accept any future disciplinary actions while fulfilling our responsibilities, including restoring damages to those affected.”

“Nolmwo” airs at 6:30 p.m. on the 14th.
