CCTV shows Go Kyung-pyo hiding object as police approach after drunk driving

New footage released by MBC 'News Desk' on the 14th shows actor Go Kyung-pyo appearing to tuck an object into his coat as police arrived following his 3:30 AM drunk driving collision with a cleaning vehicle in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

New controversy has emerged following the release of CCTV footage capturing the immediate aftermath of actor Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident. The footage has drawn intense scrutiny as it captures a moment where he appears to tuck an object held in his hand inside his coat just as police approach him. However, the identity of the object and the specific reason for his actions have not been confirmed, making it difficult to determine his intentions based solely on the video.

On the 14th, MBC 'News Desk' released additional CCTV footage showing the scene of Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident. Following the initial reports of the accident, interest in the case has intensified as the video reveals his movements immediately after the collision.

The released footage shows an individual, presumed to be a sanitation worker, following the passenger car driven by Go Kyung-pyo. After exiting the vehicle, Go Kyung-pyo is seen appearing to inspect the area of the collision, seemingly checking the condition of the vehicle immediately after the accident occurred.

Another CCTV clip captures the scene after police arrived. Go Kyung-pyo was standing on the sidewalk, surrounded by police cars and individuals presumed to be sanitation workers. As police responded to manage the scene and verify the drunk driving allegations, Go Kyung-pyo's actions were also recorded.

The most eye-catching moment occurs when the police approach Go Kyung-pyo. In the video, he appears to check something in his hand and then hurriedly tucks the object inside his coat as the police draw near. He then assumes a posture of looking at the police with both hands gathered in front of his body.

This scene has sparked fresh interest regarding Go Kyung-pyo's conduct following the accident. However, it remains unconfirmed what the object in the CCTV footage was or why he placed it inside his coat. There is currently no evidence to conclude that he was attempting to hide a specific item or that there was a particular intent behind the movement. It is noted that a distinction must be made between the movements captured on video and the actual purpose of his actions.

Previously, Go Kyung-pyo collided with a cleaning vehicle performing roadwork in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, at approximately 3:30 AM. He was intoxicated at the time of the accident, and a police breathalyzer test confirmed his blood alcohol concentration was at a level that warrants the revocation of a driver's license. Public criticism has followed the news that the collision was caused by drunk driving.

Go Kyung-pyo returned home after completing the police investigation. Police are continuing their investigation to confirm the exact circumstances of the accident and related facts. The specific details of his conduct at the scene, as well as the circumstances of the accident, are expected to be clarified during the ongoing investigation.

His agency, CL&COMPANY, issued an official statement apologizing to those harmed by Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident. "We deeply apologize to those who suffered damages due to actor Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident," the agency stated. "We also sincerely apologize for causing disappointment and concern to everyone who trusted and supported him."

The agency further emphasized that Go Kyung-pyo has admitted his wrongdoing and is deeply reflecting on his actions, stating, "He will humbly accept any future disciplinary measures and will fulfill his responsibilities, including the recovery of damages." As responsibility for the drunk driving accident and subsequent measures remain, the controversy surrounding Go Kyung-pyo is expected to continue for some time following the release of the additional CCTV footage.
