Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that if police do not provide water for a suspect to rinse their mouth before a breathalyzer test, the results cannot be used as evidence in court. The decision, reported by the Korea Economic Daily on October 25, 2026, means such test results are inadmissible in drunk-driving cases. Korean legal circles are discussing the ruling's impact on police procedures and future DUI prosecutions.
