"Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing a scandal. I will do my best to find a way quickly so as not to cause as much damage to the many people I work with as possible.



"

It does not seem easy to rectify the situation.



Actor Kwak Do-won (real name Kwak Byung-gyu, 48) was caught driving under the influence, causing fatal damage to the new work awaiting release.



Do-won Kwak, who lives in Jeju Island, was caught in a drunken crackdown by the police while sleeping in his car with his SUV parked in the middle of a road in Bongseong-ri, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si around 5 am on the 24th.



According to the police, Kwak Do-won fell asleep while waiting for a signal on the road and was caught by a resident who was suspicious that the vehicle did not move even when the signal changed.

At the time, it was reported that Kwak Do-won's blood alcohol level was above the level of license revocation (0.08%).



The agency bowed its head through a press release after it became known that Kwak Do-won was caught drunk driving.

The agency apologized, "First of all, I would like to express my deep apologies for the unfortunate incident. Regardless of the reason, Kwak Do-won and his agency are feeling the responsibility without any excuses."



However, this does not end with the actor's personal problem.

There are only two works that Kwak Do-won starred in and finished filming.

Director Kwak Kyung-taek's new film 'Fireman' and Teabing's original series 'Villains' were about to be released and released.

However, the lead actor caused a scandal due to drunk driving, which caused a setback in the release of the work.

It is not at a level that can be solved by editing or reducing the amount.



Moreover, in both works, Kwak Do-won played the role of a firefighter and a detective, respectively.

In 'Villains', he appeared as a corrupt detective, but in 'Fireman', he played Jin-seop, a veteran firefighter who saved many people from the flames.

Because it is a moving drama about the Hongje-dong fire incident in 2001, Kwak Do-won's discovery of drunk driving has had a negative impact on the film's image.



'Firefighter' and 'Villains' have not yet set a release date for their works.

Due to Kwak Do-won's careless behavior, it seems that it will take quite a long time to meet the two works.



About 100 staff members participate until a movie or drama is completed.

The sweat they had been pouring for months was in danger of being tarnished by the frivolous act of the lead actor.
