New CCTV footage capturing the scene of actor Ko Kyung-pyo’s drunk driving accident has been obtained.

On the 14th, MBC’s “News Desk” reported on Ko Kyung-pyo’s drunk driving incident and released CCTV footage shot from a different angle.

According to the video, the victim, a sanitation worker, was following Ko Kyung-pyo’s vehicle. The footage also captured Ko Kyung-pyo getting out of the car and appearing to check for signs of the accident.

In another CCTV recording, Ko Kyung-pyo was seen receiving a police investigation on the sidewalk, with police cars and individuals presumed to be sanitation workers standing nearby.

Notably, while checking something, Ko Kyung-pyo quickly shoved an item he was holding into his coat as police approached, after which he stood with both hands clasped in front of him, looking at the officers.

The identity of the item shown in the video has not been confirmed.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. on the 14th, Ko Kyung-pyo caused an accident by colliding with a garbage truck while driving his personal car in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Immediately afterward, his agency, CLE Company, issued an official apology statement that day, saying, “We deeply apologize to those who were harmed by Ko Kyung-pyo’s drunk driving accident.” The statement continued, “Ko Kyung-pyo was driving under the influence of alcohol in the early hours of that morning and collided with a garbage truck. A breathalyzer test confirmed his blood alcohol concentration exceeded the level required for license revocation.”

The agency further stated, “Ko Kyung-pyo has returned home after completing the police investigation. He acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it,” adding, “We are taking the seriousness of drunk driving very seriously and will humbly accept any subsequent disciplinary action while fulfilling our responsibilities, including making amends to the victims.”

In effect, a red light has been turned on for Ko Kyung-pyo’s activities in the entertainment industry. The incident immediately sparked controversy regarding MBC’s “What’s Going On?” (also known as “Nolmwo”), a show where he was scheduled to appear on the day of the accident.

Ko Kyung-pyo had been preparing to appear in the “95 Seoul Music Festival” special episode of MBC’s “What’s Going On?” (hereinafter “Nolmwo”). Ultimately, ahead of the broadcast, the production team announced, “Ko Kyung-pyo’s segments will be edited as much as possible to ensure viewer comfort before airing.”

Additionally, tvN’s “Sixth Sense: B-Side” (hereinafter “Sixth Sense”) also took a direct hit and announced, “In the broadcast on the 15th and next week’s final episode, we plan to edit his appearance as much as possible to ensure viewer comfort,” signaling that Ko Kyung-pyo would be fully edited out.

On top of this, tvN’s “Amazing Saturday,” for which he had completed recording as a guest, was also scheduled to air soon. Furthermore, complications are inevitable for tvN’s “Bo-gum Magical 2,” set to premiere on the 29th, and the TVING original series “Great Escape: Urban Legends,” scheduled for release on December 2. Even his solo fan meeting, which was planned to be held at Seoul Seongam Art Hall on the 21st, was looming ahead.
