Son Seung-won’s fifth DUI ends with final two-year prison sentence after he drops appeal — the bitter end of repeated crimes
His sentence was increased on appeal because he drove the wrong way on Gangbyeonbuk-ro while heavily intoxicated and instructed his girlfriend to hide dashcam evidence
The two-year prison term became final after he waived his right to appeal immediately after the appellate ruling and both sides’ appeal deadlines expired
The latest conviction marks his fifth DUI, following the disgrace of becoming the first celebrity prosecuted under the Yoon Chang-ho Act, and sends him back to prison
Actor Son Seung-won, who caused public outrage with his fifth DUI arrest and a malicious attempt to destroy evidence, has received a final two-year prison sentence after dropping his appeal. Neither Son Seung-won nor prosecutors filed an appeal by the deadline, legal sources said on the 21st.
