SOURCE: 시속 182km 음주운전 인정..남태현, 오늘(12일) 2번째 공판
WINNER's ex-member Nam Taehyun is heading back to court after driving under the influence during his probation period for drug use.
On the 12th, The Seoul Western District Court will hold the second trial for Nam Taehyun on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.
Nam Taehyun was indicted on charges of driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.122%, which is above the license revocation threshold of 0.08%, around 4.10 AM on April 27, 2025 near Dongjak Bridge on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro expressway heading towards Ilsan.
At the time, he was reportedly driving at 182 km/h, which far exceeds the road's speed limit of 80 km/h, and crashed into the central divider. Fortunately, there were no casualties from the accident.
This is the second time Nam Taehyun has been charged with drunk driving. In March 2023, while under investigation for drug-related charges, he caused a traffic accident due to driving under the influence and received a summary order for a 6 million KRW fine. In January last year, he was sent to trial alongside his ex-girlfriend Seo Minjae for violating the Narcotics Control Act and was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
At the first trial, Nam Taehyun entered the courtroom with his long blonde hair tied back. When the judge asked, "Do you admit to all the charges?" he replied, "That is correct."
Nam Taehyun also briefly stated regarding his current occupation, saying, "I am an office worker now."
