Nam Taehyun was again involved in a drunk driving incident. The relevant agency did not specify the blood alcohol content of the former Winner boy group member. However, it is certain that it is higher than 0.08, making it very possible to revoke his driving license.
This was conveyed directly by the Seoul Yongsan Police Station to the Newsis media that Nam Taehyun was charged with violating the Traffic Act, specifically for driving under the influence of alcohol. Nam Taehyun is suspected of crashing into the median while trying to overtake a car in front of him on April 27, 2025 at around 4:10 a.m.
No injuries were reported as a result of the accident. This incident is the second time the singer- songwriter has had trouble with the law due to driving under the influence of alcohol. In March 2023, the idol born on May 10, 1994 was fined ₩6.00 million KRW for driving with a Blood Alcohol Content ( BAC) of 0.114, above the legal limit in Korea.
In addition, Nam Taehyun was also caught up in a drug abuse case with his ex-girlfriend, Seo Eun Woo. The couple was charged with abusing methamphetamine and marijuana in August 2022. Nam Tae Hyun was sentenced to two years probation on January 18, 2024, meaning Nam Taehyun could potentially violate his probation and face up to a year in prison for his drug abuse case.
At that time, the judge decided to suspend the sentences of Nam Taehyun and his ex-girlfriend because neither defendant had a similar criminal record and they promised to stop using drugs and showed a desire to rehabilitate. Before his probation period was over, Nam Taehyun was up to his old tricks again.
An official arrest warrant for Nam Taehyun was filed by the Youngsan Police Station on May 2, 2025, but the request was denied on May 7, 2025 because they decided there was not enough reason to make an arrest. The police plan to file the case of driving under the influence involving Nam Taehyun with the prosecution soon.
Meanwhile, Nam Taehyun was scheduled to perform on May 6 at the West Bridge Live Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul, as part of Yoon Hyung Bin’s “K-Pop Everyday” show. However, the show was ultimately canceled following heavy criticism from K-Pop fans who did not like the idea of the idol with a history of drug abuse returning to the stage.
