Ko Kyung-pyo booked for drunk driving after crash

Actor Ko Kyung-pyo was caught drunk driving after crashing into a cleaning truck in western Seoul early Saturday, police said. The 36-year-old, known for starring in "Reply 1988," was found behind the wheel and booked for the incident, which occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. KST on November 14, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. His agency, CL&Company, issued a formal apology, and multiple variety shows have announced they will minimize his screen time in the wake of the accident, Soompi reports. Koreaboo notes his blood alcohol level was quite high, and that the fallout has affected fellow stars Park Bo Gum and Yoo Jae Suk. Korean reactions focus on the actor's fall from top variety star to "drunk driving troublemaker," with outlets emphasizing the swift agency apology and the editing of his appearances from shows.
