It was previously reported that a girl group member was at the scene of a DUI incident caused by her boyfriend, but police have now stepped up to rectify misreports.
As a refresher, the incident occurred back on March 21 when a 200 million won (approx. $180,000 USD)�Audi R8�crashed into a taxi, pushed it forward, and started a chain reaction of rear-end collisions in the Gangnam District of Seoul. �A total of five cars got involved in the accident and 10 people were injured.�
A rep from the police told SBS's 'Morning Wide' in an interview, "It is a false report. �She was not in a girl group. �The passenger must have looked a bit pretty, so somebody mentioned a girl group and it became an incorrect report. �She is not in a girl group, a celebrity, or anything. �She's an ordinary citizen."
Meanwhile, the passenger's name was revealed to start with a 'J', which got speculations rising about SPICA's Jiwon. �As the controversy grew, her agency B2M Entertainment� stepped up to say everything was untrue. �Jiwon said, "After looking at the article, they ultimately took my picture and used it with a mosaic over it as the passenger in the DUI. My blurry picture in the content regarding a girl group member with the initial 'J'. �It's not me, so do not misunderstand or worry! �I hope that the injuries of the people involved in the accident are not too severe."
The agency rep stated, "If you catch a glimpse of the video, it could look like Jiwon, but that is not the case at all. �The world is so scary these days, so why would we say it isn't if it is true?"
