Actress fined $15,000 for driving under alcohol’s influence

A South Korean actress, Kim Sae-ron, has been fined $15,000 (about N6.9 million) for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2022.

The Seoul Central District Court, on Wednesday, handed out the monetary penalty to 23-year-old Kim, who crashed her car into a guardrail and trees lining the street while driving under the influence of alcohol in Cheongdam-dong, Southern Seoul, on May 18, 2022.

The actress crashed into a transformer which cut off electricity to 57 stores in the area for nearly three hours.

The young actress debuted as a child in the movie ‘The Man from Nowhere’.

She has since appeared in numerous movies and TV dramas.
