Former member Himchan from boy group B.A.P apologized to his fans as he is being investigated by the police for driving under the influence.
According to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, Himchan was caught by the police at 11:30 PM on October 26 after he hit a guardrail while driving while ???????? ??????? near Hakdong Intersection in Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu. At that time, Himchan's blood ??????? content was reportedly at the level of revocation of his license (0.08 percent or higher). Fortunately, there were no casualties, and Himchan reportedly admitted to ????? driving charges.
Himchan made his debut as a member of idol group B.A.P in 2012 and gained popularity. However, his contract with his agency TS Entertainment expired in February last year, and the group was impliedly disbanded.
Currently, Himchan is on trial after being charged with ???????? ??????? on a woman in her 20s at a ??????? in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, in July 2018. Since the police investigation, Himchan has been denying the charges, saying, "We had mutual favor."
Due to this ????????, Himchan had to have a two-year hiatus. As the trial is still ongoing, fans are increasingly ??????????? ??? ????? driving. Notably, the accident happened just 1 day after the male singer released his solo song 'Reason Of My Life' to thank fans.
In light of the DUI controversy, the idol released an official statement apologizing to his fans. Below is the full text of his position.
"Hello, I'm Himchan.
First of all, I sincerely apologize for the bad news to my fans.
I apologize once again for the social controversy caused by yesterday's drinking accident, and I am deeply reflecting on the deep disappointment of the public over the inappropriate and ???????? ????????.
I deeply regret and reflect on my ????? driving, and I will faithfully conduct a police investigation if there is any further investigation. Also, I will live my life with self-reflection after today.
I sincerely apologize for causing concern and worries to my fans who have always supported and cared for me, and ????? driving is an act that should never be done. Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people.
I'm sorry."
