YG Entertainment released an official statement on Tuesday apologising for two members of K-pop group iKON being involved in a drink driving accident.

The accident occurred before dawn Monday when a car with the drunk driver and two iKON members – Kim Jin-hwan and Koo Jun-hoe – drove into a highway wall in South Gyeongsang Province. The driver, who is the manager of iKON, had a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent according to police reports, which leads to termination of the driver’s license. The manager reportedly drove around 10 kilometers before the accident.
