SEOUL, May 18 (Yonhap) -- S. Korean actress Kim Sae-ron (22) is investigated by the police for charges of drunk driving.
According to the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, on Wednesday, Kim is under investigation for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The police explained today around 8 a.m. that after receiving several reports by citizens that "the vehicle driving in Cheongdam, Gangnam District, is noticeably shaken," they were dispatched and caught Kim driving.
