In his recent car accident, Fly to the Sky member Hwanhee was later revealed as the victim of the mishap and not the other way around.
After Hwanhee was claimed to have crashed into another vehicle, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol on March 21. The latest reports, therefore, suggest that in the minor incident, the other party was in the wrong.
On March 25, "One TV Night" broadcast reported that after drinking and driving, Hwanhee was apprehended in the vicinity of Yongin at 6 A.M. on March 21. It seems as though after having drunk at 9 P.M. the previous night, Hwanhee had been waiting the night out but he still had alcohol in his bloodstream the morning afterward.
A witness of the event said to the show, "It wasn't a really serious accident. Only that the car was slightly damaged. Nobody was injured."
"It is true that Hwanhee is the victim, we need to continue investigating further however the other side's car caused the crash after changing lanes," said the Youngin Police Department. Soon afterward, the other party reported Hwanhee to their insurance provider for drunk-driving, rather than contacting the police. The insurance agency then told the police about the incident.
Fly To The Sky's Hwanhee had triggered an auto accident extremely drunk in the wee hours of the morning of that day, according to SBS funE on March 21. The artist was said to have been driving his auto but no clear descriptions have been provided, such as what object he struck when his accident took place.
Soon after the collision, police rushed to the scene and arrested Hwanhee for preliminary interrogation where he confessed to drinking and driving. Immediately, his blood alcohol level was checked. The result was 0.061 percent, adequate to take up and revoke his driver's license. He was then summoned to the station and told to take part in a query next week.
