A sedan driven by the 22-year-old rammed into a taxi in central Seoul in October, causing minor injuries to Jungkook and the taxi driver. He tested negative in a subsequent alcohol test.
"(Police) summoned and carried out an interrogation of Jungkook on Nov. 28 ... He and the victim smoothly settled the case, but (the police) asked for a legal indictment of him because of the serious negligence involved in the accident," a police official noted. (Yonhap)
