Ko Kyung Pyo's Drunk Driving Scandal Hits Variety Shows

Actor Ko Kyung Pyo was booked for drunk driving after crashing into a sanitation vehicle in western Seoul early on November 14, with police reporting the accident at approximately 3:30 a.m. KST. His agency CL& Company issued a formal apology, and his blood alcohol level was quite high, according to Koreaboo. Multiple variety shows have announced they will minimize his screen time in the wake of the accident, with Soompi reporting that he will be edited out of several programs. The fallout also affects Park Bo Gum and Yoo Jae Suk, who are caught in the scandal's ripple effects, as Koreaboo notes. Korean media, including Yonhap and the Korea Times, report that the 36-year-old, known for "Reply 1988," was found behind the wheel after the collision, marking a sharp fall from his status as a top variety show star to a "drunk driving troublemaker."
