Singer Kim Ho-Jun, accused of drunk driving hit-and-run, held second hearing in appeal court today (19th)... Will he be able to avoid prison?
Will singer Kim Ho-Jun be able to avoid prison? Today (19th) at the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Appeal Division 5-3 (Chief Judges Kim Ji-seon, Seo Byung-jin, Kim Yeon-jun)
The appeal trial for Kim Ho-Jun, who was indicted on charges of violation of the law on aggravated punishment of specific crimes (dangerous driving causing injury, fleeing causing injury), violation of the Road Traffic Act (failure to take measures after an accident), and aiding and abetting corporate escape.
The second hearing will be held. Kim Ho-jun is accused of driving while drunk on May 9 last year in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, crashing into a taxi on the opposite road and fleeing the scene.
Since then, the prosecution has decided to remove the charge of drunk driving, citing the difficulty in determining Kim Ho-jun's exact alcohol intake at the time of the accident, and instead charge him with dangerous driving resulting in injury and fleeing the scene resulting in injury under the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specified Crimes.
He was indicted on charges of failing to take action after an accident under the Road Traffic Act and aiding and abetting the escape of a criminal. In the first trial held in November last year, the court sentenced Kim Ho-Jun to two years and six months in prison.
He immediately appealed, and at the appeal hearing held last month he admitted to drunk driving, but denied drinking more alcohol to avoid being tested.
Recently, a media outlet reported that Kim HoJun's handwritten letter to his fans, which was written on the first day of the appeal hearing on the 12th of last month,
Kim Hojun wrote, "My beloved Alice (fandom name)" and added, "I'm truly grateful for sending this with your nostalgic feelings. I am currently thinking about myself in the past.
I am reflecting on the past. I created a shield of familiarity and took it for granted. When I took a step back and looked at the world, I realized how beautiful a place I was living in."
He continued, "Kim Hojun lived without ever becoming Kim Hojun. But because of Alice, I was able to find myself writing this today. The world tells me that it has lost everything.
But I want to say more proudly that we have gained something. That we had each other. That we have a family. We can't live forever. We know that someday there will be a separation.
I can be true to my life now. I won't waste it anymore. Today, I miss you more, I'm more grateful, and I love you more." He also said, "My beloved family. I miss you so much. I'm back.
I hope you will all stay healthy and wait until the day we can say hello to each other. I sincerely thank you for being a bright light in the world. I love you," he added.
Attention is focused on what outcome Kim HoJun will receive at the second appeal hearing.
