KANGIN release Apology; Adds DUI and hit and run to his troubles

At 3:10am on the 16th, an intoxicated Kangin crashed into a Taxi in Kangnam, Seoul, and then proceeded by abandoning the car and running away.

In the cab was the driver and 2 passengers. Fortunately, nobody suffered any major injuries.

Although Kangin abandoned the scene of the accident, at 8:50am, he turned himself into the Kangnam Police. It has been reported that his BAC level was at 0.082%, however that was 6 hours after the accident.

A representative for the Police stated:

"We can take into consideration the fact that Kangin confessed, even if it was some time after the incident. However, since he abandoned the scene, we have to consider it as a hit and run. We will investigate further in the afternoon."

Update #1: Kangin who had been ordered to turn for a second investigation at 2pm, did not turn up as scheduled at the police station. Efforts by police to contact him was to no avail as Kangin's phone was turned off. Investigations are ongoing.

Update #2: An official apology has just been posted on the SMTown website at 6.24pm as Kangin expressed his deep regrets for his actions. He is sorry to those who had been behind him all this while and is sorry for disappointing them. He also said sorry to his fans and his fellow Super Junior members. Kangin who was scheduled to turn up for investigations at 2pm on the 16th, will postpone it to tomorrow, 17th because of the intense media scrutiny.

After the DUI accident involving Super Junior's Kangin earlier today, the idol himself has released an official apology, while SM Entertainment has done likewise.

Kangin wrote:
This is Kangin. I have nothing else to do but to apologize thousands and tens of thousands times. I should've been more careful after the incident last time but I let you guys down again.

And I can't seem to lift my head.

After the last incident, I felt pain day and night thinking I disappointed people. But as soon as I was about to lose a little of that pain, another incident occurs.

I'm so sorry and I'm sorry again.

I'm so embarrassed for showing this kind of behavior in front of fans that have always supported me. I should've been more careful thinking about my fans but I have so much resentment for what I did.

And, my members from Lee Teuk to Kyuhyun, because of the last incident, I felt like I was a burden to my members but I have done it again to them so I can't even look at them. They are family to me and I can't stand the fact that I am hurting them like this. Also, to my SM family, I'm sorry. To everyone, I want to put my head down, bow, and say sorry once more.

SM also wrote:
We feel so bad about what has just happened with Kangin. We want to apologize to everyone who feel disappointed about this. We feel this is time for Kangin and us to think over what happened and try our hardest to not let this happen again.

Kangin must feel so horrible for letting everyone down. He will head down to the police station on the 17th for his second round of investigations.
