Recently, actor Ko Kyung Pyo caused controversy after being involved in a drunk driving accident, bringing renewed attention to remarks made by Super Junior’s Kim Heechul about drunk driving during a broadcast.
Previously, Kim Heechul appeared on Hong Jin Kyung‘s YouTube channel alongside fellow member Shindong.
During the conversation, Hong Jin Kyung praised Kim Heechul’s excellent memory. In response, Kim Heechul said that his memory isn’t what it used to be, adding, “Lately, I feel like my memory is fading bit by bit. That’s why I shouldn’t drink too much.”
When asked about his drinking habits, Kim Heechul candidly admitted that he drinks quite a lot. Hong Jin Kyung then brought up why Kim Heechul does not own a car, explaining that it was to prevent the possibility of driving under the influence and causing an accident after drinking.
Kim Heechul confirmed that this story is true. He explained that quitting alcohol isn’t easy for him, so he decided not to drive at all instead.
In particular, his statement, “If you can’t quit drinking, just quit driving,” attracted attention. When Hong Jin Kyung said she finally understood why he doesn’t have a car, Kim Heechul added that he’s been living without a car for more than 10 years. It is known that he uses a vehicle driven by his manager for official schedules and taxis for private outings.
These past remarks resurfaced due to Ko Kyung Pyo’s recent drunk driving accident.
