2PM‘s Nichkhun has been allegedly caught driving under the influence of alcohol.
On July 24th at 3:30AM, Nichkhun was involved in a car accident while driving in Gangnam. The singer was allegedly under the influence of alcohol when he rear-ended a motorcycle.
His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.056%, a percentage where he will be subjected to his license becoming suspended.
An official from Gangnam’s police station informed Dispatch over the telephone July 24th, “After measuring his alcohol content at the site [of the incident], it was concluded that Nichkhun was not severely intoxicated. Immediately after the accident, Nichkhun and the victim were investigated by the police.”
No one was injured at the scene, and there was no serious damage to either vehicle. The police station official continued, “It was a small accident and neither Nichkhun nor the victim were injured. Both vehicles were insured, and Nichkhun has taken measures to safely return home following his investigation.”

i heard that its super expensive especially at night
I'm glad the cyclist isn't hurt.
it's Asian,,their body is smaller than US so it's consider as 2-3 beer,,cmiiw
oh and good luck to Khun and Hottest.. you'll need it with all the hate that's surely coming your way.
And his intoxication level is actually pretty high. At that point, his concentration and possibly his reasoning and visual perception were impaired, so his accident was probably because of the alcohol.

didn't he just get back from promoting a movie he was in?
not good, bruh.
All respect lost for him. I knew there was always something off about him...
There's no excuse for driving drunk, especially if you're rich and can afford a taxi/etc.

I'm just glad everyone is okay, hopefully he won't do this again.
Question: How big are these bottles of alcohol that they drink? Whenever idols are asked about how much they can handle they seem to always answer "1 bottle" or "2 bottles", etc.

However, apparently the alcohol content varies. 20% ABV is typical, but it can go as low as 16.7% or as high as 45%.
Glad that the motorcyclist wasn't hurt and Khun is lucky that it wasn't that serious
So glad the cyclist was not hurt!
I don't drink and never been designated driver before, but i assume there's a buddy system, right? Even if one person goes out to drink by oneself, there's a list of people he/she can call for a ride, right? Even if that option is not available, there are taxis. Are and other people afraid of getting caught drunk or something by the fans/press/etc? Like...grrrr I don't know. There was a better way than for Khun to do THIS. Oh boy...
Still doesn't make this kind of decision acceptable, but . . .
