[All] Kim Ho-joong's mother shed tears, saying, "My child is scared," but it turns out it was a fake

The first trial of trot singer Kim Ho-joong (33), who was brought to trial on drunk driving and hit-and-run charges, was held on the 10th, and a woman pretending to be his mother appeared in court and gave an interview to the press while shedding tears, causing confusion.

According to the legal community on the 11th, Judge Choi Min-hye of the 26th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial for Kim Ho-joong, who was indicted on charges of dangerous driving resulting in death and hit-and-run resulting in death under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes, failure to take action after an accident under the Road Traffic Act, and aiding and abetting the escape of a criminal.

The courthouse where the trial was held was packed with fans who came to see Kim Ho-joong. When Kim Ho-joong entered the courtroom, some of the audience members, presumed to be Kim Ho-joong fans, shed tears. The fans submitted hundreds of petitions to the court.

Among them, a woman who identified herself as Kim Ho-joong's mother appeared in front of the court . The woman said in an interview with the press, "It's true that my child did something wrong," but also, "My child is very timid. I hope you don't hate him too much." The woman even shed tears during the interview.

However, it turned out that this woman was not Kim Ho-joong's mother. It is known that only Kim Ho-joong's father attended the first trial. The article containing the woman's interview has now been deleted.

Meanwhile, Kim Ho-joong appeared in court at the first trial wearing a black suit and limping. Kim Ho-joong’s side did not reveal whether they admitted to the charges at the first trial. The reason was that they were unable to view and copy case records, etc. Kim Ho-joong’s side expressed their opinion that they would clarify their position at the next trial.

Kim Ho-joong was brought to trial on charges of running away after crashing into a taxi on the opposite side of the road in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul at around 11:40 p.m. on May 9. Kim Ho-joong is also suspected of 'switching drivers' by having his manager, Jang Mo (39), make a false confession. Kim Ho-joong appeared at the police station 17 hours after going into hiding and admitted that he was the driver.

There were also suspicions that Kim Ho-joong was drunk at the time of the accident. However, the prosecution did not apply the charge of drunk driving. This is because it is difficult to determine Kim Ho-joong's exact level of alcohol consumption at the time of the accident using the Widmark formula, which reversely estimates blood alcohol concentration.
