According to police, Dahye was driving a car while drunk in front of the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, at around 2:51 a.m. on the 5th, when she changed lanes and hit a taxi behind her.
The police conducted a breathalyzer test and found that Dahye's blood alcohol level was 0.14%, which is equivalent to a license revocation (0.08% or higher).
Her hand was slightly injured. Yongsan Police Station is investigating Da-hye on suspicion of drunk driving. The car she was driving at the time of the accident was owned by former President Moon.
It was reported that the car was transferred to Da-hye. In October 2021, while in office, former President Moon Jae-in bought an SUV produced through Gwangju-type employment to promote local employment based on the coexistence of labor and management.
According to MBC, after receiving the vehicle, Dahye had it seized by the Jeju Police in August this year for unpaid fines.
The news of Dahye's drunk driving accident has been reported, and former President Moon's past statements have been quoted. Former President Moon was hit by a drunk driving vehicle on October 10, 2018, and was left brain dead.
"Drunk driving accidents are no longer just mistakes, but can lead to murder and the destruction of other people's lives," former president Moon said at the time.
In particular, "drunken driving has a high possibility of recurrence, so we need to take measures to prevent recurrence, such as strengthening the punishment even for first-time offenders and increasing the amount of instruction time after an accident."
"We need to further strengthen our investigation," he said. Police are planning to interview Da-hye soon to find out more about the circumstances surrounding the accident. The prosecution is investigating Da-hye's husband, Seo, for allegedly being employed by Thai Eastar Airlines.
The Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office conducted a search of Da-hye's Seoul home and other locations in late August. Da-hye had filed a lawsuit against the prosecution on the 12th of last month, saying, "I stabbed my father with a knife."
He uploaded the following message to social media: "I simply said something that deserved to be trampled on and defiled in order to point my name at people."
