The incident in question involves allegations of a hit-and-run accident where Kim Ho-joong is accused of colliding with a taxi on a road in Apgujeong-dong late at night on May 9. This alleged act of fleeing the scene of the accident has sparked outrage among the public and raised serious concerns about the singer’s actions.
In a surprising turn of events, Kim’s agency, Think Entertainment, admitted to attempting to cover up the incident by sending his manager to the police station to claim responsibility for the crash. This revelation has only added fuel to the fire of public scrutiny.
The CEO of Think Entertainment, Lee Kwang-deuk, explained that the decision to send the manager in Kim’s place was driven by fear of potential controversy if Kim’s involvement in the accident became known. However, this move has backfired, leading to even more intense criticism.

Denial and Controversy
Despite the mounting evidence against him, Kim Ho-joong initially denied being the driver in the hit-and-run incident. However, under police questioning, he eventually confessed to his involvement, raising questions about his credibility and integrity.
Furthermore, allegations of drunk driving have surfaced, with reports indicating that Kim had visited a bar in Gangnam-gu before the accident. While Kim denies consuming alcohol that night, the suspicion of drunk driving has only added to the public’s outrage.
What has particularly incensed the public is Kim’s decision to proceed with scheduled concerts shortly after the incident, without taking time for self-reflection or demonstrating remorse for his actions. This move has been seen as insensitive and irresponsible by many.
As the investigation unfolds, the police have taken steps to uncover the truth, including applying for a search warrant to retrieve the memory card from Kim’s car’s black box. The full extent of Kim Ho-joong’s involvement in the incident is yet to be determined.
The fallout from this incident has not only tarnished Kim’s reputation but has also raised questions about the integrity and transparency of the entertainment industry as a whole. The public’s demand for accountability and justice in cases like these remains steadfast.
As the saga continues to unfold, it serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of reckless behavior and the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions, especially in the public eye.
