[News] Daesung suspending all promotions until the end of this year to self-reflect

Big Bang member Daesung will suspend all promotions until the end of this year, for reasons regarding the fatal car accident on May 31st.

It was revealed that Daesung will take time to self-reflect and atone for his accident on the 31st at the Seoul Yanghwa bridge, acknowledging his responsibility in causing the death of motorcyclist Hyun, following the police’s announcement of the autopsy results.

Agency YG Entertainment had stated, "After the end of May's concerts in Japan, Daesung and the members of Big Bang are resting without any special scheduled promotions", adding "since there are no important scheduled promotions due to no concerts or albums, Daesung's halt of promotions will not affect the team's next step."

However, for the already scheduled Big Bang mini-concert on the 25th at Seoul Nonhyun-dong, Daesung was asked to be excused, and the stage will consist of the other four members without Daesung.

Due to the accident, Daesung's drivers license will be revoked, and it is expected that he will have a trial at the Seoul Southern District Court. The police stated that if an agreement with the family of the deceased Hyun is submitted, Daesung's charges may be reduced.

For some time following the car accident, Daesung was reported to be at a loss for words and look depressed, but not long ago, he began going back to attending his church to pray and receive counseling from the pastor, through which he has been enduring through this difficult time.

In response to the accident’s autopsy result announcement and news of the halt of promotions, netizens are giving encouragement with comments such as, “Please be resolved smoothly”, “I hope you come back brighter”, and “We’ll be waiting for you”.

[NEWS] What happened on Yanghwa Bridge on 31st of May?

At the meantime, the autopsy result for the accident which Daesung was involved has not yet released so various speculations emerged. Moreover, the news from MBC News on 19th which said there is a high possibility that Mr Hyun was alive before Daesung crashed his car into the taxi has caused more confusion. For more related information, 'Star News' is trying to arrange it and you can refer to it.

Attention has been drawn to what happened to the fatal accident which Daesung was involved. The autopsy report was scheduled to release on 15th and the delay of it has brought up all kinds of speculations about the situation. Actually, at the dawn of that day, on Yanghwa Bridge, what had happened probably?

So far, National Forensic Service , the police and the survivors are trying to reconstruct the incident all together.
According to National Forensic Service, the alcohol concentration of Mr Hyun's blood at that time was 0.16% so he was drunk. Mr Hyun was drunk driving on the southern end of Yanghwa Bridge when his motorcycle crashed the guard boarders. He then fell with his head
hitting the ground.


Then,on the 1st driving lane of the bridge, a taxi was driving slowly on the same lane and the driver discovered there was a person lying on the ground, he swiftly changed his lane to the 2nd lane. The taxi just returned to the 1st lane after the second accident happened.


Since the bridge only allows 1-lane driving, Daesung discovered the accident scene only after his car crashed into the taxi which was driving in front of him.

Daesung was going to pay a visit to his parents from the company on that night and it was at 1:28 am that the accident occurred.

The core of the accident is when Mr Hyun died. According to his family, Mr Hyun arrived at the place at 1am. Then after spending some time with his friends, he wanted to go home.
Then after about 30 minutes, Daesung's car was involved in the accident. During this period of time, so far there is still no definite identification about whether Mr Hyun died from the massive blood loss or the crash of Daesung's car.

Therefore, I have asked a motorcyclist about how they think what had happened to the situation at that time.

[Interview: a motorcyclist]
Q) What do you think about the accident?

A) A motorbike is different from a passenger car because when you are riding on a motorbike, your whole body is exposed so you are more likely to get abrasions which can result in much bleeding. It is especially important for the motorcyclists to wear a helmet. The helmet of the victim in this accident has been stripped off. Unless you tighten up the strap of your helmet, you can be hurt seriously in the accidents. If you do not wear a helmet when you are driving, you might be hurt in various ways and might result in cerebral hemorrhage.This was related t o the the accident that followed a lot. It is the same case with that of Mr Daesung. He could not see what the situation of the previous accident was which then brought forth a lot of serious problems.


Obviously, it is an accident of a motorcycle which itself involved a high risk for the aforementioned reasons. However, it seems that it is difficult to figure out the cause leading to the death of Mr Hyun. Therefore, I visited Yanghwa Bridge directly in order to observe the situation.


I wanted to find out how the traffic was like at the time that the accident happened. The press reported that at that time, there were 20 cars travelling on the bridge per minute. If so, how frequent would accidents happen there I have asked the policemen from the police station which is located near Yanghwa Bridge about this.


[Interview: Tangsan Police officials]
Q) Are there accidents frequently?

A) Yes, accidents happen here quite often.


There is a confusion with the accident about weather Daesung has stepped on the brake. According to his words, he had done so but there were no skid marks left in the scene of the accident so there are speculation of if there was a defect with the brake in his car.


At the meantime,the parents of Mr Hyun has shared their feelings after the sudden death of their son, 'It did not surprise us if he died in the 1st accident although we want him to be alive.'


Also on the issue whether Mr Hyun was drunk when driving, they said, ' we will accept the results of the autopsy.However, it is not the same when we are talking about whether it was his drunkenness which led to his death since if it was the case, his friends have to bear the blame too since they did not send him home and left him alone.'


They continued, 'please tell us why he has passed away , we should know what happened without any uncleared doubts. Shall we say that even he whom is now in heaven does not know why he died?' The cause of My Hyun's death will come out clearly if the process of investigation goes smoothly.


The analysed cause of Mr Hyun's death from National Forensic Service would be revealed soon. Since what punishment that Daesung would receive will be based on this result, attention was drawn to this issue.


* Translator's note: Since there is a vip asked me to translate this via twitter, I decided to do it for all of you. Although it is just a overall recount of the whole incident together with two minor interviews with a policeman and a motorcyclist, I still hope that it can keep you on track with what is going on with the case and the Korean news about it. Sorry if you find it redundant but anyway, we should just keep on praying for the related parties.^^

[Video/News] Daesung’s cut in new “Night After Night” Episode!

On yesterday’s episode of SBS’s “Night After Night,” fans were able to catch a glimpse of Big Bang’s Daesung in the background. Daesung is a regular on the late night TV show, bringing laughter on set with his uniquely Daesung charms.

Unfortunately, his recent accident changed much of his life and career. Around 1:30 AM of May 31st, Daesung was involved in a car accident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. While the police have yet to update new development regarding the accident, Daesung and YG Entertainment have limited his activities until this case is resolved.

Since the accident, most of his segments in pre-recorded shows have been edited out, with the exception of MBC’s “Infinite Challenge” (June 11th episode). Despite knowing he’ll be edited out, Daesung showed up to the recent recording of “Night After Night,” which was aired last night. As expected, Daesung’s portions did not air. However, fans were surprised and delighted when they saw Daesung as the camera zoomed out for a full shot of the male panel cast. Daesung was seen talking with fellow cast members.

There are always two sides to every story, and netizens showed mixed responses to Daesung’s small screen appearance. Some netizens praised, “Daesung is such a hard worker. Don’t lose hope!” While some commented, “With recent developments, it seems inappropriate to see him on TV.”

[NEWS] Motorcyclist in Daesung’s accident is very likely to have been alive before the crash!

Big Bang’s Daesung (Kang Daesung, 22) has been involved in a traffic accident that is currently being investigated after motorcyclist Hyunmo (30) died on the scene and the conflict of Daesung crashing into him while he was still alive has been raised.

On June 19th, MBC’s “weekend news desk” side, quoting the National Institute of Scientific Investigation said, “the results of the tests revealed that Hyunmo’s blood had 0.16 alcohol concentration which means he could have fallen from the motorcycle on the side of the road after hitting a street lamp. Mr. Hyunmo would have gotten hurt in the process, but the wound would have not been bad enough to kill him. Before Daesung crashed into him the possibility that he was alive is very likely” he said.

‘News Desk’ added, “Between the Hyunmo-ssi fell off his motorcycle and the time he was hit by Daesung’s vehicle he could have also died from massive blood loss”, not completely ruling out the possibility that Hyunmo-ssi could have already been dead.

‘News Desk’ further revealed, “The autopsy results that will reveal Hyunmo’s cause of death are said to be released on June 21st by the police” .

[NEWS] Daesung Accident: Motorcyclist was Drunk, No Hit and Run Involved

It was reported today that the motorcyclist involved in Daesung’s car accident from two weeks ago was drunk driving at the moment and it’s highly possible that his crash had occurred as a result of negligent driving. Also it was revealed that there was no hit-and-run accident involved prior to Daesung’s contact with the victim.

According to local media E-Daily, police officials reviewing the accident said, “We’ve already completed on-site investigations and CCTV reviews. The results have confirmed us there was no hit-and-run accident prior to Daesung’s collision.”

The official added, “We’re still waiting for final autopsy results but the National Forensic Service said alcohol was discovered from the motorcyclist’s blood test results. Based on witness testimonies and on-site investigations, it’s highly likely that the motorcyclist hurt himself due to negligent driving.”

The police are currently looking into the motorcyclist’s exact time of death. Experts say further investigation will reveal the exact timeline and whether the motorcyclist died as a result of his first crash or if it was caused by Daesung’s accident that followed shortly after. However, the autopsy results that were supposed to come out today will be delayed, possibly until next week, the police said.

Daesung was involved in a car accident on May 31st around 1:30AM. He hit a motorcyclist that was lying on the street from an earlier accident and later crashed into a taxi in front of him. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead shortly after the accident. Daesung apologized to the victim's family and agreed to cover all funeral costs, but it's still unclear what the exact cause of death is.

[News] SBS's Follow-up Report on Daesung's Recent Condition

On SBS’s “Beautiful Morning” aired on June 13th, a follow-up report on Big Bang member Daesung’s recent condition was broadcasted.

Daesung has cancelled all his activities since the traffic accident on May 31st. He was involved in a car crash which resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. There were news saying he has isolated himself from everyone since then, staying in his room and refusing to talk to anyone, even his parents. Thus fans have been worried about his recent condition.

SBS’s “Beautiful Morning” that broadcasted today had a follow-up report on Daesung. They visited Big Bang’s dormitory and had a short talk with the doorman. They asked the doorman whether he has seen Daesung lately, and the door man said, “I have, not often though, since he hasn't had any activites recently.” He added, “I saw Daesung sometimes, he looks pretty normal.”

Seems like Daesung is recovering and getting better, at least he does not lock himself in the room anymore. It was reported earlier that the autopsy result takes about 15 days, so it should be coming out any time soon.

[News] Info on Daesung's Charges

Group Bigbang’s Daesung was involved in a car accident on the 31st. The Police stated that the victim has deceased and that Daesung is charged with ‘neglecting safe driving duties.’

Since Daesung’s car hit a motorcycle that had already fallen before his arrival and not a moving car, his charge is ‘neglectful accident’ rather than a ‘intrusion of safe driving distance.’

Daesung’s punishment depends on whether or not the motorcyclist was dead at the time of Daesung’s car crash.

If the motorcyclist was already dead when Daesung’s car crashed, this is a ‘ruin of corpse’ and not a ‘car accident violence’ and thus Daesung is not lawfully responsible for a compensation, although morally expected.

Even if the motorcyclist was alive when the second collision (by Daesung’s car) occurred, Daesung’s “neglect” was not heavy (a ‘heavy neglect’ would include DUI and traffic signal violation) and therefore will not lead to Daesung’s imprisonment and the like. He is, however, lawfully responsible to compensate. A typical fatal car accidents are at least $18,000 ~ $28,000 and depends on the annual income from there.
