South Korean actor Ko Kyung-pyo, known for “Reply 1988,” is under police investigation after he allegedly crashed his car into a street-cleaning truck in Seoul early Saturday. Reports say the incident happened at around 3:30 a.m. in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, and officers dispatched to the scene administered a breathalyzer test.
According to police statements described by multiple outlets, the test indicated a blood alcohol concentration above South Korea’s legal threshold for license revocation. Ko is said to be held behind the wheel at the scene, and police plan to investigate the circumstances of the crash. His agency, CL&Company, has apologized and said Ko acknowledges wrongdoing.
Coverage broadly agrees on the core timeline and alleged cause, while differing slightly in the amount of detail included, such as the exact reported test result disclosure and how the incident is characterized in wording (for example, “caught,” “probed,” or “caught after truck crash”).
