Actor Lee Jae-ryong's case has been suspended from prosecution.
The actor was investigated and his case forwarded to Seoul Central District Prosecutor's office last week on charges of damaging property. According to prosecutors, Lee Jae-ryong was accused of damaging the interior of a bowling alley in Gangnam early June 11 while under the influence of alcohol. Damages to the property were over 500,000 won.
However, the prosecution has suspended the indictment considering the case "minor" and that the actor has "settled the damages" with the victims. According to the prosecution, the suspect showed "signs of remorse" and as a result have suspended the criminal charges.
SM released a statement Thursday and said, "It's true that Lee Jae-ryong was investigated for the charges. He fell on the signboard while drunk and has fully compensated the owner. He delivered a sincere apology in person and has reached an amicable agreement with the victims. We're sorry to greet you with such news."
Lee Jae-ryong is well known for his works in dramas "Did we really love?" , "What is Love", "Because I really", "Sangdo", "Snow Flower" and "Beautiful Mind."
