Ko Kyung Pyo’s agency has issued a formal apology after the actor got into a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to the police, on November 14 at approximately 3:30 a.m. KST, Ko Kyung Pyo collided with a sanitation vehicle while driving his personal car.
Ko Kyung Pyo’s blood alcohol content was subsequently found to be at a level high enough for his driver’s license to be revoked (0.08 percent or higher).
Later that day, his agency CL&COMPANY released the following statement apologizing for the incident:
Hello. This is CL&COMPANY.

1. No but, what the hell... how many variety shows is he on right now?
2. Let’s never see each other again
3. That’s a habit. He’s probably driven drunk plenty of times before without getting caught.
4. Hul, what????? Did Go Kyungpyo actually cause an accident while driving drunk? I really thought he was a good person, this is insane... People who drive drunk aren’t even human. They’re just potential murderers. I absolutely despise them
5. Farewell...
6. He's not in his right mind
7. How many programs is he in right now? He's being such a nuisance...
8. Male celebrities.... are hopeless...
9. Aigo-yah.... this is such a big disappointment...
10. I'm honestly not even surprised
[theqoo] GO KYUNGPYO, CAUGHT DUI, IS ULTIMATELY EDITED OUT OF 'GREAT ESCAPE'... "SCREEN TIME TO BE MINIMIZED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

(...)
On the 14th, a representative for TVING’s new original variety show 'Great Escape: Urban Legends' (tentative title) addressed concerns regarding Go Kyungpyo’s screen time in a statement to News1. They explained, "Given the nature of the show, which relies on multiple cast members working together to solve puzzles, there are limitations to how much can be edited; however, we plan to re-edit the footage to minimize his appearance as much as possible." Although filming for 'Great Escape: Urban Legends' had already been completed ahead of its scheduled December 2nd release, the production team must now undertake a comprehensive re-edit just one month before the premiere, following Go Kyungpyo’s involvement in a drunk-driving incident.

1, Ugh, I was so looking forward to 'Great Escape'! If they cut out that much footage, the flow is going to be completely ruined... Seriously, what a nuisance....This is driving me crazy
2. 'Great Escape' really relies on a continuous flow, so the editing process must be a nightmare. I feel so sorry for the editors. Can’t they just slap a sticker over this person’s face or something?
3. Because of the narrative flow, it won’t be easy to just edit someone out, will it? ã… ã… If there’s no other choice, couldn’t they at least just mosaic his face? Or is it an issue because they’d still have to pay his appearance fee?
4. I have a feeling the editing is going to end up looking really awkward...
5. Ha... what to do..ㅜㅜ
6. Ugh... seriously... why did he do that...
7. Argh.......Can’t they use AI to superimpose his face or something? I was really looking forward to 'Great Escape'
8. Ugh, a f*cking nuisance. 'Great Escape' is all about the continuous narration. If they cut him off, it won't be fun anymore
9. Ha... 'Great Escape'.... and it's coming out next month too...
10. I can turn a blind eye....
