In addition, Kim Ho-joong's bail interrogation will also be held at the trial. Kim Ho-joong received a bail application last month. Bail is a system in which the accused is released on conditions such as paying a deposit set by the court and promising to attend the trial.

Kim Ho-joong submitted a letter of apology on the 5th. Officials, including the head of the agency who was arrested along with Kim Ho-joong, submitted several letters of apology, but this is the first time that Kim Ho-joong wrote a letter of apology. As a result, attention is being paid to what kind of sentence will be given at the trial.

Meanwhile, Kim Ho-joong is accused of drinking and driving on the road in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, at around 11:40 p.m. on May 9, crashing into a taxi, and making his manager turn himself in instead. Although he admitted to drinking alcohol, he did not have a record because he attended the police late after fleeing, and he did not apply the drunk driving charge because he believed it was difficult to specify the drinking level only by reverse calculation over time. Currently, Kim Ho-joong's arrest period has been extended by two months and changed to October.

At the second trial, Kim Ho-joong admits all charges", he explained that he had agreed with the victim of the drunk accident.
