On September 24, Korean media reported that comedian and TV actor Lee Jin Ho was being investigated by police after being found drunk driving for the entire 100km journey from Incheon to Yangpyeong.

According to Munhwa Ilbo , police received a report of a vehicle suspected of having an alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit. Authorities in Incheon and Yangpyeong coordinated a test and found that Lee Jin Ho had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.11% - enough to have his driver's license revoked for at least a year. He requested a blood test to determine his alcohol concentration, and police said they would continue to investigate.

In response to the criticism, SM C&C, the management company, issued a statement acknowledging the incident: “We confirm that Lee Jin Ho drove after drinking. He has completed his meeting with the police and is awaiting a decision on how to handle the situation. The company also accepts responsibility and will cooperate with him to fully fulfill his legal obligations. We sincerely apologize for disappointing the public once again.”

Lee Jin Ho goes to the police station to work:

Notably, Lee Jin Ho is still in the "self-criticism" phase after the illegal online gambling scandal in October 2024. At that time, he admitted to participating in illegal gambling, was investigated by the police and also borrowed a large amount of money to pay off debt - more than 2.3 billion won (about 41 billion VND), of which 100 million won (nearly 1.8 billion VND) was from member Jimin (BTS).

At that time, the male artist wrote a letter of apology, promising that "even though I cannot be a good example, I will try not to let anyone criticize me anymore." However, this drunk driving incident has made the public even more disappointed and angry.

Lee Jin Ho was born in 1986 in Hwaseong, famous for his charming sense of humor, having appeared in many famous entertainment programs, especially making an impression through Comedy Big League . Thanks to his flexible improvisational ability and witty style, he was a familiar face on many Korean talk shows and variety shows.
