However, most recently, according to media outlets, it was reported that while he admitted to driving under the influence about three times over the past 10 years, there were actually more instances of drunk driving.
According to the verdict, Im was fined 500,000 KRW for drunk driving on September 21, 1999. He was also caught drunk driving that same year on August 15.
Turns out, he was on probation at the time. On March 25, 1998, he was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, and fined for violating the Road Traffic Act.
As a result, it was confirmed that his criminal record has been revealed to be five offenses, contrary to his confession about three DUIs.
Netizens were shocked that there were more offenses and felt he should quit drinking altogether.
- “My prejudice towards irezumi just keeps piling up…”
- “This is crazy.”
- “At this rate, I feel like more things will be brought to light.”
- “With this many offenses, he shouldn’t have participated on the show…he won’t be able to appear on infomercials. What about his restaurant…will people even go now?”
- “I guess we won’t be seeing him anymore.”
- “How can his offenses keep coming out every time I wake up?”
- “He just needs to quit drinking altogether.”
- “This just keeps piling up.”
