Singer Kim Ho-joong, Convicted of Drunk Driving and Hit-and-Run, Released Today on Parole 5 Months Early

Singer Kim Ho-joong, who had been serving a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for drunk driving and a hit-and-run, is released today (June 30).

Kim, who was originally scheduled to be released in November, is returning to society five months early after passing the Ministry of Justice's parole review committee.

Kim was arrested and indicted in May 2024 for causing an accident while driving under the influence in Gangnam, Seoul, fleeing the scene, and having an agency employee turn themselves in on his behalf.

Kim's future plans have not yet been determined.
