[renerene]

To the people surprised about the DUIs, Korea's drinking culture is no joke. It's not hard to see how celebs can end up overindulging or becoming dependent/addicted when you're under a lot of stress, lack of sleep etc. 

This is some data from a few years back, but relevant: 

Millions of Koreans enjoy drinking alcohol. According to the report of Korea Alcohol and Liquor Industry Association and Ministry for Health and Welfare, every night about 6 million people put away almost 20 million bottles, including 9.53 million bottles of beer and 8.97 million bottles of soju (a popular type of Korean liquor with about 20% alcohol) (1). In fact, the World Health Organization has reported that the rate of drinking problem of adults is considerably higher in Korea compared to that in other countries and the prevalence of alcohol use disorder (alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence) was reported to be 6.76% (2). This is the world's highest and almost double the world's average rate.
