In a statement Son Seung-won stated that he lived fear in jail, shuddering and horrified at his behavior. He promised to put an end to that bad chapter of his life and become a new person.
Son Seung-won's attorney emphasized Son Seung-won's sense of remorse. The attorney further went on to discuss how drunk driving is a systemic problem of society and larger than just one man's sense of guilt.
This attitude has come under criticism publically. There's a notion that Son Seung-won is expecting special treatment for being a public figure and is possibly gunning for the prospect of being allowed to serve his sentence while doing mandatory military service.
Son Seung-won was caught at a drunk driving checkpoint in the Gangnam district on December 26th. He registered a 2.06% alcohol level and attempted to flee authorities.
