According to the video, Lee Kyung-gyu stopped a vehicle in an alleyway in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 8th and walked on the road, not on the sidewalk. As a result, the following vehicle crossed the center line to escape him. When Lee Kyung-kyu stopped the vehicle, a small collision with a bus stopped in front of him occurred.




At the time, the bus driver said that Lee Kyung-kyu's reaction slowed down because he took cold medicine," he said.

Immediately after the accident, Lee Kyung-kyu moved the vehicle to another location and visited the hospital. Afterwards, he received medical treatment at the hospital and returned home in another vehicle in a nearby parking lot, not the place where he parked his car. The parking lot official said "When I said I had never left the car, I went back saying "Did I do that?"

Before the accident, Lee Kyung-kyu stopped at the gas station's car wash and rushed against the employee's 'reward' instruction, hitting the wall. Since then, scenes of illegal left-turns have also been spotted invading the central line on a road without traffic lights.




The police were dispatched after receiving a report of suspected vehicle theft and conducted a drug simplified reagent test against Lee Kyung-kyu, and a detailed examination by the National Forensic Service also tested positive. Accordingly, the police booked Lee Kyung-kyu on charges of drug driving under the Road Traffic Act on the 24th.

Lee Kyung-gyu, who came out after being investigated, said "I didn't realize that I shouldn't drive when I was sick after taking the panic disorder medicine this time"If you have that kind of medicine in the future, wouldn't it be better to refrain from driving. I will be careful in the future" he said.

As for driving someone else's vehicle, "I got on with the key. I started the engine because I was going to start it. I thought it was my car", he explained that it was a misunderstanding caused by a simple mistake by a parking management agent.




Lee Kyung-gyu apologized for his disappointment to the fans who trusted and supported him for a long time," he apologized.

Earlier, Lee Kyung-kyu was booked for driving while on drugs in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul at around 2 p.m. on the 8th.

At that time, Lee Kyung-kyu was reported as suspected theft when he drove another person's car with the same type of car due to a parking management employee's mistake. At that time, a simple drug reagent test conducted by the dispatched police tested positive. Since then, the National Forensic Service has also released positive results, and Lee Kyung-kyu has been converted into a suspect.

The police will analyze Lee Kyung-kyu's statement, CCTV, and black box before deciding the direction of disposal.
