South Korean police said Tuesday they are investigating a YouTuber on suspicion of drunk driving after he broadcast himself driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to Geoje Police Station, the YouTuber started the broadcast around noon on Sunday at his residence in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province. Then he left in his car to go fishing at around 7:10 p.m., at which point one of the viewers reported drunk driving to the police.
Police caught the suspect at around 7:30 p.m. and found that the YouTuber's blood alcohol content was 0.48 percent -- enough above the legal limit to have one's license suspended.
It was found that the YouTuber broadcast not only the drunk driving, but also himself calling a hired designated driver to take him home after he was caught by police.
