Posted by galih on Thursday, March 8, 2012


Following the declaration of the Seoul Police Deung Yeong Po, on 24 June-about the Big Bang member Daesung as a suspect in the deaths of motorcycle rider involving Daesung as the driver of the car on May 31, thousands of fans asking what will happen to their beloved idol?!

Daesung has been indicted without detention. Although he was not the cause of the riders to lay on the highway, but has been proven that Daesung is the cause of the death of the motorcyclist. The case is now handled by Korean prosecutors and will determine what laws are being violated and the charges will be filed against the singer.

Daesung Korean media said that facing up to five years in prison and fined 20 million won (about U.S. $ 803, 000).

Bulletin Entertainment asked for the opinion of an American lawyer in Seoul to give an explanation or opinion regarding the case of Daesung. The lawyer said that the idol might finally get a lighter sentence and lower.

The Lawyer Michael Sawyer, who worked in the Legal Department at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, said that if the incident occurred in the U.S., Daesung may be charged with two crimes: speeding (less serious crimes) and criminal negligent homicide / murder.

Korean police and the National Forensic Service investigation showed that the victim, Hyun, who was lying on the road after a motorcycle crashed into a lamppost, died after a car ran over him. It was also shown that Daesung was speeding, driving at 70 to 80 miles per hour, beyond the 60 miles per hour.

The second is when his speeding contributed to the accident, said Sawyer. Korean police say the victim's body was dragged by a Daesung's car brought about 22.8 meters.

He said the physical state of Daesung and lack of previous criminal record in history will work to his advantage.


"However, perhaps partly because of the fame and the lack of previous criminal record, I suspect that he would accept, perhaps with some small record / smaller in the record," said Sawyer.

In addition, the payment of "blood money" to the victim's family can reduce
Daesung's punishment , said Sawyer.

The offer of "blood money," are mediated by the police, recognized by the Korean legal system to reduce the punishment of perpetrators. Mere victims 'blood money' are viewed by the legal system as a sign of remorse and can reduce a person's punishment.

After the accident, Daesung did not flee the scene and work with the police by going to the police station to give a statement. He also passed the breathalyzer test stating that he was not under alcohol influence when a car accident.

Because of the accident, YG Entertainment announced, Daesung will not participate in any activity until the end of 2011.
