Ko Kyung Pyo Apologizes for Drunk Driving, Career on Hold

Actor Ko Kyung Pyo has apologized for a drunk driving accident that occurred in the early hours of November 14 in western Seoul, when he crashed into a cleaning truck. Yonhap reports that the 36-year-old, known for "Reply 1988," was found behind the wheel under the influence, and his agency CL& Company issued a formal apology. One employee of the cleaning company riding in the truck sustained minor injuries, according to Koreaboo. Ko personally bowed his head in apology and put his career on hold, Yonhap adds. Broadcasters have begun cutting his appearances from variety shows, with Soompi noting multiple programs will minimize his screen time. Koreaboo reports that CCTV footage of his behavior after the crash has sparked severe public backlash, and remarks by Super Junior's Kim Heechul about drunk driving have resurfaced as a hot topic. Park Bo Gum and Yoo Jae Suk have also been caught in the fallout, Koreaboo says.
