New CCTV footage has surfaced following South Korean actor Go Kyung-pyo's (고경표) recent drunk driving incident. On November 14, MBC's "Newsdesk" released multiple surveillance videos, one of which captured Go Kyung-pyo seemingly tucking an item he was holding into the inside of his jacket as police approached the scene. He then stood with his hands clasped in front of him, drawing public attention.
MBC's "Newsdesk" broadcast surveillance footage from Go Kyung-pyo's DUI accident on November 14. One segment shows Go Kyung-pyo's vehicle driving on the road, with what appears to be a street cleaner chasing after him. Shortly after, Go Kyung-pyo calmly exited his car and first walked around it to inspect its condition, which also sparked public discussion.
Another CCTV angle recorded the situation after police arrived. In the footage, Go Kyung-pyo is seen standing by the roadside, with a police car and what appears to be a street cleaner nearby.
The most discussed moment is when police approached Go Kyung-pyo. The footage shows Go Kyung-pyo seemingly examining an item in his hand. As police drew near, he appeared to quickly shove the item into the inside of his jacket, then stood facing the officers with his hands in front of his body.
However, it is currently impossible to confirm what Go Kyung-pyo was holding at the time or why he made that specific movement. Therefore, his exact intentions cannot be determined solely from the CCTV footage.
It is understood that Go Kyung-pyo was driving his personal car under the influence around 3:30 AM on November 14 in the Donggyo-dong area of Mapo District, Seoul, when he collided with a street cleaning vehicle operating on the road. After a breathalyzer test, police confirmed his blood alcohol content exceeded the standard for driver's license revocation in Korea.
Go Kyung-pyo returned home after completing the police investigation. Police are currently continuing to clarify the circumstances and details of the accident.
Following the incident, Go Kyung-pyo's agency, CL&Company, issued an official statement apologizing to the accident victim and his fans. The company stated, "We are deeply sorry for those who were harmed by actor Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident, and we sincerely apologize for causing disappointment and concern to everyone who has always believed in and supported him."
The agency further added that Go Kyung-pyo has acknowledged his mistake and is deeply reflecting. He will humbly accept the relevant penalties in the future and will fully take responsibility for compensating the victim's damages and subsequent liabilities.
