The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors'Office said on the 12th that it is investigating Chung, the son of Chung, on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.
Chung was driving Hyundai's Genesis GV80 vehicle at around 4:45 a.m. on the 24th of last month and hit a guardrail on the driveway to Cheongdam Bridge on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro.
It is reported that the driver's seat bumper and tire were badly damaged in the impact of the accident. After receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene and charged Chung with drunk driving.
