Kim Ho-joong Released on Parole

Singer Kim Ho-joong has been released from Somang Prison in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, after serving part of his two-and-a-half-year sentence for a hit-and-run incident. Although originally scheduled for release in November, he was granted parole during his second review and will now serve the remainder of his term under supervised probation.

Legal Background of the Case

The conviction stems from a May 2024 incident in Seoul where Kim collided with a taxi and fled the scene, subsequently attempting to have his manager provide a false confession. Following the dismissal of his appeal, Kim is now required to obtain official authorization for any changes in residence or international travel while under probation.
