Ko Kyung Pyo Booked For Drunk Driving Accident + Agency Apologizes

Ko Kyung Pyo’s agency has issued a formal apology after the actor got into a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol.

According to the police, on November 14 at approximately 3:30 a.m. KST, Ko Kyung Pyo collided with a sanitation vehicle while driving his personal car.

Ko Kyung Pyo’s blood alcohol content was subsequently found to be at a level high enough for his driver’s license to be revoked (0.08 percent or higher).
