"Drinking hit-and-run" trot singer Kim Ho-joong was sentenced to the first trial today.

The first trial sentence for singer Kim Ho-joong, who is suspected of a drunk hit-and-run, will be released today.

The Seoul Central District Court will proceed with the sentencing date of Kim, who is charged with dangerous driving injuries, at 10 a.m. today (13th).

Earlier in late September, the prosecution demanded a three-and-a-half-year prison term for Kim at a final hearing.

At the time, Kim said in his closing statement that he was really sorry and reflected on the victim, and that he would try to live a life that did not repeat the same mistake.

Kim is accused of driving while drinking on the road in Gangnam, Seoul, and running away after bumping into a taxi in the opposite lane in May.

Kim, who denied driving under the influence of alcohol, admitted to the crime 10 days after the accident, but the prosecution excluded the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol because it was difficult to prove it because the blood alcohol level could not be measured at the time of driving.
