JAKARTA - Singer Nam Tae Hyun was sentenced to one year in prison for a case of driving under the influence (DUI). He was sentenced to one year in prison after being arrested by the police in 2025.
On April 27, 2025, Nam Tae Hyun was investigated after driving drunk in Gangbyeonbuk, Seoul. When examined, his blood alcohol level reached 0.122%.
On Thursday, April 9, Judge Yang Eun Sang sentenced Nam Tae Hyun to 1 year in prison and ordered him to pay a fine of 1 million Won.
The former member of WINNER was said to be driving at 182 km/h while the maximum speed allowed was 80 km/h.
"At the time of the incident, the risk of traffic accidents was very high, considering that the defendant was driving at a speed of 182 km/h on Gangbyeonbuk-ro, and his vehicle slipped into the fourth lane, and hit the guardrail outside the fourth lane, so a heavy sentence should be given," explained the authorities.
"Although the defendant is on probation for violating the Narcotics Control Law, this crime has been committed, so his mistake is significant," they said.
Previously, Nam Tae Hyun was sentenced in January 2024 for one year for being proven to have bought and used methamphetamine.
In the previous year, the South Club personnel was also arrested for a DUI case in the Gangnam area, Seoul.
