Former WINNER Nam Tae Hyun Arrested for Drunk Driving – What Happened?

South Korean singer-songwriter and former member of Kpop group WINNER Nam Tae Hyun has reportedly been arrested for a drunk driving scandal. Check out the following reports for the complete details about what happened to Nam Tae Hyun.

Former WINNER Nam Tae Hyun Arrested for Severe Drunk Driving Scandal

Singer-songwriter and former 3rd gen Kpop group WINNER Nam Tae Hyun had involved himself in another scandal. After previously breaking the internet with a drug scandal with his girlfriend Seo Min Jae, Nam Tae Hyun is now facing police arrest and the public’s criticism again for the drunk driving scandal.

News1 and Donga media reported on March 8 that Seoul Gangnam Police had investigated singer-songwriter Nam Tae Hyun for DUI (drunk driving). The police claimed that Nam Tae Hyun had violated the Road Traffic Act by driving under the influence of alcohol.

What Happened?

So, what happened to Nam Tae Hyun?

Further in the reports, both media explained that the former WINNER member hit a taxi passing by on March 8 at 3.20 AM KST. He opened the door to his car that was parked on the roadside. And at the same time, a taxi was passing by, resulting in him breaking the taxi’s side mirror. 

However, although he was intoxicated at the time, former WINNER Nam Tae Hyun still drove his car for about 20 meters (around 66 ft.)

Naturally, the incident immediately called for the police’s assistance. The officials then arrived at the scene and checked Nam Tae Hyun’s blood alcohol level to find out whether or not the artist was drunk. It turned out that his blood alcohol level was around 0.114 %. And this is way higher than the license-revocation level.

Knowing that he had severely violated the Road Traffic Act, the police immediately arrested Nam Tae Hyun and booked him on the spot. However, since the singer-songwriter was too heavily intoxicated, the police decided to return him home. Therefore, all the investigations and questions will be conducted at a later time.

Still, before going home, Nam Tae Hyun claimed to the police that he was waiting for a designated driver during the incident.

As the incident is still under process, the police are planning to call Nam Tae Hyun back for further investigation.

“We plan to call Nam Tae Hyun again to further investigate the circumstances of the accident.” 

a spokesperson of Seoul Gangnam Police.

Nam Tae Hyun Arrested for Drunk Driving Scandal – Agency’s Statement

Responding to the news that Nam Tae Hyun arrested for a drunk driving scandal, the agency claimed they had no idea about the issue.

Nam Tae Hyun representative agency told Donga.com on March 8 that they were still checking the facts because they had no idea about the scandal. After checking all the facts and details, the agency promised to give their official position.

“We haven’t heard anything about Nam Tae Hyun’s drunk driving arrest. We really have no idea.

So please let us find out more and check them out first. After that, we will state our official position.”

Following the drunk driving scandal, Korean netizens heavily criticized Nam Tae Hyun. Since the artist had been breaking the rules and causing too many scandals, South Korean netizens asked for heavy punishment for Nam Tae Hyun.

  • They need to test him for drugs too.
