The infamous one DJ Yesong – whose real name is Ahn Ye Song – was sentenced to eight years in prison following a tragic accident in which she caused the death of a motorcyclist while driving while intoxicated.
The Supreme Court recently upheld the lower court’s decision, finalizing the sentence for the 29-year-old star.
The fatal accident occurred in February when a heavily intoxicated DJ Yesong was driving in Seoul’s Gangnam neighborhood in the early hours of the morning. She hit a motorcycle traveling in front of her, fatally injuring the driver, a delivery man in his fifties. The victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition but did not survive. Authorities revealed that his blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was 0.221 percent, well above the legal limit.

Reports indicate that DJ Yesong was fleeing the scene of a previous car accident when the fatal accident occurred. The court highlighted the woman’s failure to stop and render assistance as a critical factor in the case, saying she had neglected her legal obligations under the Road Traffic Act.
The court initially sentenced her to 10 years in prison, underlining the gravity of her actions. However, on appeal, his sentence was reduced to eight years. The appeals court considered his confession and the agreement reached with the victim’s family when deciding to lower the sentence. However, they highlighted the reckless nature of his driving, noting that he ran red lights and drove at dangerous speeds, endangering others.
