Koreans love hit and runs

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

Actress Han Ye-seul has been charged with a hit-and-run offense. According to Seoul Gangnam Police on Wednesday, Han has been charged with hitting a 36-year-old man identified only by his surname Do in the lower back with the rearview mirror of her Porsche on Tuesday morning at the entrance to the parking lot of an apartment building in Samseong-dong and fleeing the scene.

A police officer said CCTV footage shows Han hitting Do's back with the rearview mirror of her car, causing Do to teeter and grab the trunk of the car in front of him.

Han's lawyers reportedly met Do and offered him W5 million (US$1=W1,075) in compensation, but Do claimed Han did not apologize while his doctor told him the injury will take two weeks to heal properly. He therefore reported the actress to police.

In a statement, Han's management agency Sidus HQ denied she fled the scene of the accident, and unveiled their own CCTV footage of the accident. Police plan to question the actress on Friday.

KCelebs...it's called brakes.

Brake song for you?

Mister Do wants more money from her - from my point of view he knew that before being hit by the car- and more - he was expecting/wanted to be hit (as far as I know extortion / scamming is a felony too)
her image has to suffer just because ppl like that exist in this world

however brakes darling... brakes

i think you'll find waiting for a doctor's prognosis on your injury in claims for personal injury is perfectly legal, and by no means extortion.... if she didn't want her image to suffer maybe she shouldn't have committed the hit and run in the first place.

I don't think he was expecting to get hit. I mean, he wasn't facing the car since his lower back was hit.

only a grand? boyyyy, you better get that shit checked out and get money out of them like crazy

lol where the fuck did they get their own footage from?

[miki-chan08.livejournal.com]

lol thinking the same thing? isnt it just one cctv footage lol.

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

They offered US$4560, not a grand...

[modeldom.livejournal.com]

how do you hit someone with your rear view mirror? I think it's the side mirror.

[weaselbee.livejournal.com]

lol this

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

...how do you get hit in the back with a rear view mirror? Wouldn't you have to be inside the car somehow to get hit by it? Anyway he's very lucky to have only been tapped by the car and there were no spinal injuries

But trying to picture this in my mind is very hard. To have been hit in the lower back by a side mirror in front of a parking garage, wouldn't you have to be standing in front of it with your back to the entrance? Hmm... this seems awful suspect to me. Granted she shouldn't have left the scene but what sane person stands in front of a parking garage entrance with their back to it? I also wonder if this garage had a gate

This is the CCTV coverage...



He should've just accepted the ~4,000 USD, honestly. If her lawyers already approached him for a settlement, does that mean he's taking police action against her just because she didn't apologize? ._.

[modeldom.livejournal.com]

He's milking it. I'd gladly accept the 4G's. Even if she just gave me 2Gs I'd be like kthxbai.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure how to feel about this, it's look like he did it for money from the beginning

[moraitika1.livejournal.com]

he knew who's car was so ... his eyes were blinking $_$

[donglover.livejournal.com]

I find hit and runs really funny

[suju-lurve.livejournal.com]

You would not if you have ever actually been hit by a car and than had the driver drive away. Believe me it hurts.

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

I think she should have atleast apologized in person he was right there and he still hit her that man should have just took the money though wait 2 weeks is not going to kill you

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

I'd be super pissed if she didn't apologize either, but seeing the pictures... I may have accepted the money.

[k0dama.livejournal.com]

"unveiled their own CCTV footage"

I don't think CCTV works that way guys.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

Wow, lots of car, medical and legal experts in the house this morning. This post is ridiculous.

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that no one in Korea is able to drive well.

[cryssybloom.livejournal.com]

Ugh, this so much..

[fondle.livejournal.com]

lol gurl good luck next time

[butterface.livejournal.com]

dang son, nothing but sympathy for the guy who got hit. back injuries are a fucking mess and miserable to deal with.

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

so disappointed with her :(

[jetaime-pyon.livejournal.com]

what kind of idiot do you have to be to hit someone with your car and not stop to see if they're ok?! celeb or not, that shit doesn't matter. -__- smh sfm.

[geonitacka.livejournal.com]

This guy is asking for too much. Isn't a settlement kind of an apology.....He's also kind of at fault for just standing there, but then again I don't know all the details as I wasn't there.

I'm kind of on her side for this one since it's not another "drunk celeb hit and run". I wonder what the results will end up being....

[aj-123.livejournal.com]

Why do ppl never check to see if the person is ok or not. My boyfriend was in a hit and run accident, person rammed him in the back at a stop light and went on about their business like nothing happened needless to say his car was totaled and God must have been with him because he wasnt harmed besides a sore neck but stuff like this erks me at least apologize geesh!

[newlines.livejournal.com]

geez, hit and runs are seriously no joke, i'm glad that your boyfriend was okay though. and seriously, why don't people apologize?? it usually makes things better. :S

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

So my question, is did he take the 5million and then report her to the police because she didn't apologize? cause that's an ass thing to do.

If he refused the money though, ok. He's the victim, so it's his choice.
