As you probably already know, Jungkook was involved in a minor car accident on November 2.
He was driving his car in the neighborhood of Hannam when he ran into a taxi.
Jungkook and the taxi driver received treatment at the hospital for bruises. The accident isn’t nearly as dramatic as some news reports made it look.
He immediately took responsibility for the accident and made an amicable settlement with the taxi driver.
Back then, BigHit released a statement saying:
“This is a statement regarding member Jungkook’s car accident.
The police have not closed this case yet, so we cannot reveal the exact details, but Jungkook was driving his car last week when he had a minor collision with another vehicle due to his own mistake.
Both the victim and Jungkook did not sustain any major injuries.
Jungkook admitted that he violated the Road Traffic Act immediately after the accident. The scene of the accident was resolved and police questioning was completed according to the due process, and an amicable settlement was made with the victim afterwards.
We once again apologize to the victim, and we also express apologies for causing concern to fans.
Thank you.”
Even though Jungkook was not drunk driving, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station revealed that they had forwarded Jungkook to the prosecution for violating the Road Traffic Act and the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents.
They stated:
“We summoned Jungkook for questioning on November 28 and wrapped up our investigation. He and the victim made an amicable settlement, but because his negligence was a major part of the accident, we forwarded him to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment.”
What follows is my personal opinion:
Yes, this isn’t nice. But it will be fine. He’s not going to prison or anything like that since it was just a minor accident and nobody was harmed. He will probably just a get a fine.
So, don’t be sad army.
Be nice, be like BTS!
