Comedian Kwak Han-goo was caught stealing a car for the second time in eight months, police said Saturday.
The 28-year-old faces imprisonment since he committed the crime while his jail term for the previous case is being suspended, police said.
According to the Ansan Police Agency, Kwak stole a car on display at a used-car dealership in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.
Police said he snuck into the shop in Ansan at around 5 a.m. Friday and drove out a Hummer H3 valued at $23,000.
The shop's owner used CCTV footage to pick Kwak out as the primary suspect and the suspect was nabbed at a police checkpoint in the city at 9:40 p.m. the same day, police said.
"He confessed to stealing the car," said a police officer. "I just wanted to sit behind the wheel of the car," the officer quoted Kwak as saying.
The officer said an arrest warrant is being sought, adding: "The comedian will face tougher punishment than those involved in similar cases since the crime took place during the suspended jail term."
A court will soon question Kwak to decide whether to issue the warrant.
Last June, Kwak was caught stealing a Mercedes-Benz parked at a repair shop in Ansan. He confessed to the crime and apologized to the public. Given the apology, a court handed down a four-month jail term suspended for 10 months.
Those committing any crime during a suspended jail term are, in principle, supposed to be arrested.
Following the first crime, he was ousted from popular comedy program "Gag Concert'' and has since disappeared from the small screen.
Meanwhile, veteran actor Na Han-il was recently found guilty of embezzling money from his own company and imprisoned after an appellate court ruling.
Last Friday, the Seoul High Court handed down a two-year, six-month prison term to the 55-year-old, overturning a lower court's suspended jail term.
"He used corporate funds for private purposes," presiding judge Lee Kang-won said. "The amount of money he embezzled is staggering."
