[20,415+ 73-] He still hasn’t come to his senses…
 
[13,947+ 67-] A Leopard cannot change his spot…
 
[10,209+ 100-] Gilegi (trash)
 
[8,783+ 99-] I won’t bother seeing you to the door
 
[5,766+ 291-] Euigoo~ I don’t know what to say~
 
[2,628+ 27-] I have 12 of your songs in my mp3 including Clown, Ballerino, Who are you living for, Can’t Breakup Girl, Can’t Breakaway Boy etc… You will not have to worry about using chauffeur services for the next 100 years with the royalty money you earn. Did you really have to break the law?
 
[2,261+ 14-] Why don’t people who get caught for drunk driving come to their senses?? If you guys get caught for the second time, just go to jail.
 
[2,099+ 11-] It’s because the punishment is not severe enough ㅡㅡ Just give them an 1 year jail sentence for their first time, and a 10 year one for their second time
 
[1,863+ 11-] He’s never going to be a man
 
[1,788+ 11-] and someone like him judges othersã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
 
[1,733+ 13-] Coming this far, I think he should never appear on TV shows from now on.
 
[1,465+ 7-] Look at this guy who hasn’t come to his senses yet.. This is why we should never give indulgences to celebrities
 
[1348+ 2-] Coming this far, it’s more like a habit than a mistake. Even drunk driving for once is not permitted, but if he was granted a pardon on National Liberation Day, and he wanted to show up on TV shows, he had to come to his senses. He’s horrible.
 
[1,342+ 11-] It’s good that you haven’t returned to Infinite Challenge. Never even imagine that.
 
[1,139+ 3-] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ and he tries to look nice and innocent. Potential murderer
 
[1,009+ 14-] Gil hyungã… ã…  I think it will be hard for you to return~ You were too careless
 
[912+ 2-] You earned a lot of money. Have a good rest
 
[623+ 4-] No solution
 
[539+ 4-] Insane
 
[491+ 2-] Bye

The Seoul Namdaemun Police Station stated, “The reports are true that Gil was found with his car pulled over near the entrance of the Seoul Namsan Tunnel 3 on June 28. His blood alcohol content was high enough to warrant his driver’s license being revoked, and he will be investigated by the police before being turned over to the prosecutors’ office.â€

 

They continued to add, “They will decide whether to prosecute him, as well as the severity of his punishment.â€

The police are said to have found Gil asleep at the wheel inside of his car. His blood alcohol content was 0.16 percent, high enough to warrant his license being revoked. At first, Gil is said to have denied that he was driving under the influence, stating that a substitute driver had driven him to the entrance of the tunnel, before later admitting to all charges.

 

This is the second time the singer has been caught drunk driving. In May 2014, Gil had his license revoked when he was found drunk driving his car. His license was reinstated in 2015 as a part of former president Park Geun Hye’s special pardoning order to celebrate the 70th anniversary of South Korea’s independence.

 

Gil took to Twitter to apologize for his wrongdoing and explain what had happened. He wrote, “I am writing this because I am so ashamed and sorry. A few days ago, I had a drink with my friends and was waiting for a substitute driver to go home. I fell asleep at the wheel while waiting for the driver.â€

He continued to state, “I stopped in the fourth lane of an eight-lane road [four lanes on each side], and fell asleep waiting for the driver. A police officer woke me up and tested my blood alcohol content, and the results were high enough to get my license revoked. It is not true that I asked the officer to let me off with a warning. I told him I would help in any way I could during the investigation and was sent home. Regardless of whether it is 1 centimeter or 100 kilometers, I know that it is very wrong to sit behind the wheel [when drunk].â€

The singer concluded with, “Even if people curse and criticize me for the rest of my life, I have nothing to say for myself. I am ashamed to face my parents, family, friends, and fans. I am truly sorry.â€

Oml, what an idiot. Why would you drive whilst drunk? And this isn't the first time either? Not only are you endangering everyone else's lives your also endangering your own.

The worst is falling for the same mistake twice. If only South Korea enacted enhanced punishment law for repeat offender like him in spite of the fact it is considered misdemeanor 

There already is the law prescribing harsher punishment for repeated offence.

 

I love Leessang's songs but he should be looking at a prison sentence, depending on the severity of his DUI...

That won't work. In my country, the most effective punishment for DUI criminals seems to be to serve victims from car accidents.

Can we just look at Kangin's 2nd DUI as a reference? No jail time, less fine then first, and 1 yr license suspension. And he hit a pole, then ran away from the scene.

Kangin's sentence was disgraceful. He should never be allowed to drive again, not even 20 years from now. He should've been sent to prison for atleast 6 months too.

I agree that he should have received a mucher tougher sentence but Korea's DUI laws are a disgrace so jail time is highly unlikely.
