Unverified video of person presumed to be Go Kyung-pyo circulates online

A video showing an individual presumed to be Go Kyung-pyo exiting a bar in Haebangchon has surfaced online following the actor's drunk driving accident in Mapo-gu. The incident, which occurred at approximately 3:30 AM on the 14th, involved a collision with a street sweeper and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.150%.

Following actor Go Kyung-pyo's drunk driving accident, a video claiming to show him has gained attention online. The footage depicts an individual, presumed to be Go Kyung-pyo, exiting a bar in Haebangchon, Yongsan District, Seoul. However, it has not been confirmed if the person is indeed Go Kyung-pyo or if the video was recorded on the day of the accident. While various eyewitness accounts and posts have spread following the accident, it is difficult to draw specific conclusions based solely on unverified video footage.

On the afternoon of the 14th, a video was uploaded to an SNS account with the caption, "If you meet me from now on, you'll be ruined within a week." The video included subtitles stating, "I had a spontaneous encounter with Go Kyung-pyo in Haebangchon!" and showed a person wearing a black jacket, pants, and a cap walking out of a bar in Haebangchon, Yongsan District, Seoul. The poster claimed the individual was Go Kyung-pyo and noted the chance encounter.

A comment reading, "I guess we saw correctly," was also left on the post. However, no clear evidence was provided to confirm if the person in the video is actually Go Kyung-pyo. As the filming date and time cannot be specified from the available content, it is unclear whether the footage can be linked to his movements on the day of the drunk driving accident. Although interest has grown because the video was released after the accident, the facts cannot be determined solely by the subtitles or the poster's claims.

Various reactions to the video have emerged online. Some netizens commented, "I don't know what they are thinking," and "It doesn't seem like it was the day of the accident, but it's still something." With public criticism pouring in due to the drunk driving accident, interest in Go Kyung-pyo's movements before and after the incident is intensifying as the bar sighting video circulates.

At approximately 3:30 AM on the 14th, Go Kyung-pyo caused an accident while driving his vehicle in the Donggyo-dong area of Mapo-gu, Seoul, colliding with a street sweeper driving on the road. A breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.150%, which significantly exceeds the 0.08% threshold for driver's license revocation. Go Kyung-pyo returned home after completing the police investigation, and police are investigating the specific circumstances of the accident.

Immediately after the accident, his agency, CL&COMPANY, admitted to the drunk driving and issued an official apology. The agency stated, "We are taking the seriousness of the wrongdoing of drunk driving very heavily," adding that they would humbly accept any future disciplinary actions and fulfill their responsibilities, including making amends for the accident. While they promised to apologize to the victim and fulfill their responsibilities, public criticism regarding the drunk driving accident is not easily subsiding.

The broadcasting industry has also begun moving to adjust Go Kyung-pyo's appearances. MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' aired with his scenes heavily edited out, and 'Sixth Sense: B-Side' on tvN, scheduled to air on the 15th, is also undergoing editing to minimize his appearances as much as possible. Attention is also focused on follow-up measures for 'Bo-gum's Magical 2' on tvN, set to premiere on the 29th, and the TVING original variety show 'The Great Escape: Urban Legends,' scheduled for release on December 2, both of which feature Go Kyung-pyo.

While the eyewitness accounts and videos spreading online after the drunk driving accident are increasing public interest, it is necessary to distinguish these posts—where the filming time and identity of the individual are unverified—from established facts. The core of this situation is not the unverified video, but the actual drunk driving accident, the resulting damages, and the legal and social responsibilities Go Kyung-pyo must face moving forward.
