On September 24, Lee Jin-ho was booked for driving under the influence, with a blood alcohol level of 0.11%, enough to cancel his driving licence. The news sparked public backlash and intense media scrutiny, adding fuel to the already controversial situation.

All rumours pointing to the girlfriend

Shortly after the DUI news broke, a rumour circulated that it was Lee’s girlfriend who had reported him to the police. While never confirmed by officials, the speculation gained traction online and in the media, adding enormous pressure to the unnamed woman.

Incidents, psychological toll and media pressure

Friends and acquaintances of the deceased woman shared that she had been under extreme emotional stress following the scandal. The attention, online rumours, and public judgment reportedly made her feel vulnerable and overwhelmed.

Authorities exercise caution

Police have refrained from disclosing sensitive details, stating, “There is currently no confirmed evidence of criminal activity.” They added that out of respect for the grieving family, further specifics about the case would not be released at this time.

All the spotlight on mental health & responsibility
