As actor Ko Kyung-pyo caused a drunk driving accident, remarks made by singer BIBI to Ko Kyung-pyo a month ago are once again drawing attention.

Ko Kyung-pyo appeared on "The Deduction Game is an Excuse," released on the YouTube channel 'Tteun Tteun' in October, where he discussed recent updates with Yoo Jae-suk, Song Eun-i, BIBI, and others.

At the time, Ko Kyung-pyo stated, "It seems like I'm taking a brief break right now. While I have ambitions regarding work, it is a period of setting my mind at ease and resting for the sake of reorganization."

BIBI mentioned Ko Kyung-pyo's fortune-telling chart, interpreting, "This year was bound to be difficult because it is a year of conflict. Since two suns are shining in the sky for Ko Kyung-pyo, it is a hot and drying period. Therefore, resting is what is needed."

In response, Ko Kyung-pyo said, "I am resting right now. I am resting mentally as well, and it feels very good," adding, "I am extremely busy. About four variety shows will be released by the end of this year, but mentally, I am in a state of enjoying them."

He continued, "In the past, I tried to do work perfectly and intensely. Now, I have let go of everything and am having so much fun this year. It feels like I have discovered my true self," sharing a more relaxed state of mind. Additionally, Ko Kyung-pyo also confessed his regrets about a past restaurant business venture. He said, "If I could go back eight years, I would not have started the restaurant business."

When Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "You seem to have become free, but you also appear to have many lingering attachments," Ko Kyung-pyo replied, "Lately, I just speak whatever comes to mind and act as I please."

However, a month later, after Ko Kyung-pyo caused a drunk driving accident, the comments made by BIBI and Ko Kyung-pyo at the time are being re-examined.

Previously, around 3:30 a.m. on the 14th, Ko Kyung-pyo was driving under the influence of alcohol in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, when he collided with a street sweeper. It is known that his blood alcohol concentration at the time was at a level requiring license revocation.

Subsequently, his agency, CLE Company, acknowledged Ko Kyung-pyo's drunk driving and apologized. The agency stated, "Ko Kyung-pyo acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it," adding, "He will humbly accept any subsequent disciplinary action and fulfill his responsibilities, including restoring damages to the victims." Ko Kyung-pyo also bowed his head via social media on the 15th, stating, "I will never forget the shame I feel toward myself regarding this incident, and I will hold onto myself as I live. I am truly sorry."

Due to the aftermath of the drunk driving accident, broadcast programs featuring Ko Kyung-pyo have also been thrown into disarray. The production teams for MBC's "What Are You Doing?" and tvN's "Sixth Sense: B-Side" conveyed their stance that they would edit out Ko Kyung-pyo's appearances as much as possible to minimize viewer discomfort.

Ko Kyung-pyo, who had expressed anticipation ahead of the release of multiple variety programs at year-end, has faced disruptions in his broadcasting activities due to this drunk driving accident.
