According to the KBO DUI Sanctions Regulations, which have been changed since June 2022, the first detection of suspension of a license will be disqualified for 70 games and the first detection of revocation of a license will be disqualified for one year. Two drunk driving times are five years, and three times or more are permanently disqualified.

Since the KBO prohibits double disciplinary action by the club, the club cannot take disciplinary action other than the disciplinary action of the KBO reward and punishment committee. The LG club did not mention additional disciplinary action, such as Kim Yoo-min's voluntary withdrawal or release.
