”SHINHWA's Shin Hye Sun, who refused to be measured for drunk driving, receives suspended prison sentence

Shin Hye Sun, a member of the Korean group SHINHWA, who is suspected of drunk driving, has had the prison sentence given to him at the appeal court's hearing suspended.
On the 10th (today), according to the legal community, Shin Hye Sun and the prosecution have reached the deadline for appealing the appeal court ruling that suspended the execution of the prison sentence.
As a result, Shin Hye Sun, who was indicted on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (refusing to take a breathalyzer test) and illegally using a car, will receive a six-month prison sentence suspended for one year, the same as in the first trial.
Previously, Shin Hye Sun was reportedly involved in a traffic accident on the way home after drinking at a restaurant in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul in October 2022.
Police responded to a report of a car parked in the middle of the road and asked Shin Hye Sun, who was asleep in the car, to take a breathalyzer test. She refused, so they arrested her red-handed.
He was arrested. Furthermore, it was revealed that the car he was driving at the time was not Shin Hye Sun's, and had even been reported as stolen. However, regarding the suspicion of Shin Hye Sun's car theft,
The police only applied the charge of illegal use of a vehicle. In the first trial, the court ruled that Shin Hye Sun had shown remorse, that no casualties had been sustained, and that the stolen vehicle had not been used.
The court took into consideration the fact that the owner of the vehicle did not wish to be punished, but considered the crime of refusing to take a breathalyzer test to be more serious than drunk driving itself, and sentenced him to six months in prison with one year of probation.
After that, the prosecution filed an appeal, and in April of this year, the court upheld the original ruling at the sentencing hearing for Shin Hye Sun, who was indicted on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (refusing to take a breathalyzer test), and sentenced him to six months in prison.
He was given a one-year suspended sentence. If an appeal is filed, it must be submitted to the court within seven days of the date of the sentence, but it was revealed that neither Shin Hye Sun nor the prosecution appealed, and the sentence was finalized.
I did.
