Cars before people? Ko Kyung-pyo's attitude is more infuriating than his drunk driving [Star Issue]

I am truly disappointed in Ko Kyung-pyo. Not only did he commit the crime of drunk driving, but his actions after the incident, as revealed through CCTV footage, are infuriating. It makes one reflect on what his usual mindset and attitude toward others must have been like.

Ko Kyung-pyo caused an accident by hitting a street sweeper while driving his personal car in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul around 3:30 a.m. on the 14th. Immediately after reports of the incident, his agency CLE Company stated, "We deeply apologize to those who were harmed by Ko Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident," and admitted to the drunk driving, saying, "Ko Kyung-pyo was driving under the influence of alcohol in the early hours of that day when he collided with a street sweeper. A breathalyzer test confirmed his blood alcohol concentration exceeded the level for license revocation."

The agency continued, "Ko Kyung-pyo has completed police questioning and returned home. He acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it," adding, "We are taking the seriousness of the wrongdoing of drunk driving very seriously, will humbly accept any subsequent disciplinary action, and will fulfill our responsibilities, including restoring damages to the victims."

Ko Kyung-pyo's drunk driving, despite his usually approachable image with the public, sent shockwaves. In particular, Ko Kyung-pyo's attitude in the CCTV footage of the accident scene released that day was startling. Immediately after the accident, a sanitation worker rushed to catch up with Ko Kyung-pyo's car. After getting out of the vehicle, Ko Kyung-pyo was seen inspecting his own car rather than attending to the sanitation worker.

In another CCTV angle, Ko Kyung-pyo was also seen first checking the damage on his own vehicle. Later, when police arrived, he was seen hastily putting an item he had been holding into his coat. The identity of the item in the footage has not been confirmed.

Of course, Ko Kyung-pyo may have been disoriented at the time due to being heavily intoxicated. He himself would likely have been flustered. However, the attitude displayed in such a tense situation reveals one's character. It is undeniably infuriating that he was only concerned with his own vehicle after causing an accident.

The broadcasting industry went into emergency mode following Ko Kyung-pyo's drunk driving incident. MBC's "What Are You Doing?" (Nolmyeon Mwohauni), which was scheduled to air that day, edited out Ko Kyung-pyo's segments before broadcast.

tvN's "Sixth Sense: B-Side" (hereinafter "Sixth Sense") also took a direct hit and announced, "We plan to edit the appearance segments as much as possible in the episode airing on the 15th and next week's final episode to ensure no inconvenience to viewers," previewing the complete removal of Ko Kyung-pyo from the show.

tvN's "Bo Geum Magical 2," set to premiere on the 29th, and the TVING original "Great Escape: Urban Legends," scheduled for release on December 2, are also in a situation where disruptions are inevitable.
