SEOUL, Nov 15 — South Korean actor Ko Kyung-pyo was caught driving under the influence after crashing into a road-cleaning truck in western Seoul early yesterday, according to police.
According to Korea Times, the 36-year-old actor, best known for his role in the hit television drama Reply 1988, was found behind the wheel after the collision, which occurred at about 3.30am in Seoul's Mapo district.
Police officers who responded to the scene determined that Ko's blood alcohol concentration was high enough to warrant the revocation of his driving licence.
In a statement, his agency, CL&Company, apologised for the incident and said the actor acknowledges his wrongdoing.
Authorities said they will investigate the exact circumstances surrounding the crash.
The incident has drawn public attention given Ko's prominence in South Korea's entertainment industry, where he has gained recognition through television dramas and films.
