Kangin in Trouble Again

Kangin of Super Junior is in deep trouble again just one month after he was charged with assault and battery. This time he was charged with causing an accident while driving drunk. According to a source at the Gangnam Police Station, Kangin was driving a leased import car in the affluent Gangnam neighborhood in Seoul a little after three in the morning of October 15th when he crashed into a parked taxi. Fortunately, the taxi driver and two passengers in the cab were not seriously hurt, but Kangin apparently got out of the car and ran away into an alley. He turned himself in at the police station a little before nine o'clock that same morning. He underwent a breath analyzer test, which showed 0.082% alcoholic content, high enough for license suspension. A police officer said that although Kangin will be given some consideration for turning himself in later, he will still be charged with drunk driving and hit-and-run, because he left the scene of the accident.

The idol star was involved in an early morning fight exactly a month ago on September 16th. He suspended all public appearances since his involvement in the fight. With the latest mishap, Kangin will have to stay away from the limelight for a couple of years, as is customary for celebrities charged with drunk driving or drug use. In the meantime, debates over whether he should be kicked out of Super Junior are heating up online show biz sites.
