South Korean actor Ko Kyung-pyo, best known for his role in the popular television series ‘Reply 1988’, was allegedly caught driving under the influence of alcohol after his car collided with a cleaning truck in Seoul on November 14.
The 36-year-old actor was driving through the Mapo district in western Seoul when the accident occurred at around 3.30 am.
