The delayed storm is huge. There are fears that Kim Ho Joong will suffer financial losses worth billions of won as a result of this incident.
There are also speculations that this may be the case. First of all, attention is being paid to whether the concert, which is about to be held, will be canceled. Kim Ho Joong will be performing at KSPO in Seoul on the 23rd and 24th of this month.
The band was scheduled to appear in the "World Union Orchestra Super Classic: Kim Ho Joong & Primadonna (hereinafter "Super Classic")" at the Dome.
"Per Classic" is a concert where Kim Ho Joong will perform with a coalition of members from the world's four major orchestras, as well as soprano Aida Galipulina.
Ticket prices will range from 150,000 won (approximately 15,000 yen) to 230,000 won (approximately 23,000 yen), and sales are expected to reach approximately 4 billion won (approximately 400 million yen).
KBS, the organizer, has pulled out of the show. As the production company did not take any action in response to its request to replace the performers, it notified them of the termination of the contract and removed the KBS name and logo.
The production company is known to have told KBS that they will go ahead with the show without changing the performers, but the social repercussions are so great that it is still unclear whether the show will go ahead.
On the 2nd, Kim Ho Joong's national tour "Tuba Roti Classic Arena Tour" will be held in Gimcheon. SBS Medianet is co-hosting the event.
Prior to this, Kim Ho Joong was involved in a traffic accident on the 9th and has been on tour in Goyang and Changchun on the 11th and 12th and 18th and 19th, respectively.
The Changwon concert went ahead as scheduled. In the concert industry, the Gimcheon concert was held after the Drunk Driving incident was revealed. The city of Gimcheon canceled the concert venue after the city
An official from a performance planning company said, "If the decision is made to cancel before the event, there will be no penalty, and the rental fee for the performance venue and the cast members who have been charged up until now will be covered."
The compensation should be paid to the father of the person involved in the labor costs and equipment rental. In the case of the advance ticket sales amount, a refund will be made, so if the two performances are canceled, the actual compensation that Kim Ho Joong will be liable for is
The full compensation would be around 1 billion won (US$100 million)," he said. It is speculated that the compensation for advertising penalties will be much larger. Kim Ho Joong is an exclusive model for a massage machine and earphone brand.
She is currently working as a model. Her annual advertising fee is known to be around 700 million won (approximately 70 million yen). The advertising contract states that "in the event of any violation of the law or social controversy, the advertising fee will be reduced by 2 to 3 times."
The clause states that Kim Ho Joong may have to pay advertising penalties of around 2 to 4 billion won in the aftermath of this affair.
Television stations are cutting Kim Ho Joong's losses. On the 17th, he was completely cut from KBS's "Pyonstaurant."
The GS25 side decided not to sell Kim Ho Joong's victory menu that was scheduled to be sold. Popular culture critic Jeon Deok Hyun said, "The lies that have been lying for 10 days have ruined the public image.
"It will not be easy for him to recover or resume his broadcasting activities," he said, "For the time being, he will focus on albums and lectures aimed at his fandom, but we will continue to monitor how much his fandom has supported him since he admitted to the Drunk Driving incident."
Kim Ho Joong is accused of fleeing the scene after colliding with a taxi on a road in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at around 11:40 pm on the 19th (special crime).
Kim Ho Joong was charged with fleeing the scene and failing to take action after the accident under the Aggravated Punishment Act. Some analysts say Kim Ho Joong's delayed apology was to avoid financial damage and arrest for the concert cancellation.
First, the police are trying to prove the amount of alcohol Kim Ho Joong had consumed. Since Kim Ho Joong intentionally avoided a breathalyzer test on the day of the accident, the police are unable to know his blood alcohol content, and are therefore unable to prove his blood alcohol content.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Cho Ji-ho announced at a regular press conference on the 20th that he will be applying drunk driving charges to Kim Ho Joong.
Regarding the fact that he had been drinking, he said, "We have confirmed that he had been drinking, but there must be a causal relationship between drinking and driving. We will determine the amount of alcohol consumed and make a calculation through Widmark (official) to determine the city's judgment."
"We plan to do this," he explained. Widmark is an official site that calculates the type of alcohol, amount of alcohol consumed, and weight at the time of a drunk driving accident, and estimates the blood alcohol concentration over time.
The legal profession has responded that it is difficult to prove. In order for a drunk driving charge to be recognized, the blood alcohol level must be 0.03% or higher.
However, it is said that it is not easy to prove. In fact, entertainer Lee Chang-myung, who was suspected of drunk driving in April 2017, was investigated by the police 9 hours after a traffic accident and was found guilty of drunk driving.
At the time, the police argued through Widmark's official website that his blood alcohol content was estimated to be over 0.05%, but the court did not accept this.
Jeong Kyung-il, a lawyer who specializes in traffic accidents, said, "If it cannot be proven that he drank an unusually large amount, there is a high chance that he will be found not guilty due to insufficient evidence."
Police have filed charges against Kim Ho Joong, the CEO of his agency, the manager who turned himself in on his behalf, and the chief of police who damaged the memory card of the vehicle's dashcam.
The investigation is continuing with a high level of sensitivity, including the filing of a national ban. We plan to coordinate with Kim Ho Joong's side to attend the meeting.
