According to the police, at around 1 a.m. that day, Ms. A arrived at her destination in Jongno-gu, Seoul, in a vehicle driven by a substitute driver. After the substitute driver exited the vehicle, Ms. A is suspected of moving to the driver’s seat and driving the car herself.


The substitute driver, who witnessed the incident, reported it to the police. When officers arrived and conducted a breathalyzer test, Ms. A’s blood alcohol level was found to be at the license suspension threshold.



The police brought Ms. A in for questioning and then allowed her to return home. They plan to summon her again soon to further investigate the circumstances of the incident.
