Taiwanese actor Wang Dar-Lu, who was arrested on charges of attempted murder, was released after paying a bail of approximately 200 million won.

According to Taiwan‘s ET Today and TVBS, a detention hearing for Wang Dar-Lu was held at the New Taipei District Court on the 5th (local time). Wang Dar-Lu was released on bail of 5 million won (approximately 221.65 million won). His departure and residence were restricted. After his release, Wang Dar-Lu left the court wearing a hat and mask. What was shocking was that Wang Dar-Lu even showed a strange smile among the crowd of reporters and fans. This scene was captured on media cameras.

The attempted murder charge against Wang Dar-Lu was revealed last month during an investigation into his draft dodging. It has been reported that the prosecution found evidence of instigation of assault while confiscating and investigating Wang Dar-Lu’s cell phone.

Long ago in April of last year, Wang Dar-Lu booked a taxi through a ride-hailing platform at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. At that time, Wang Dalu had an argument with driver A, and later asked his friend B, a second-generation chaebol, to find A and assault him.

Mr. B, along with 3-4 gang members, found Mr. A and assaulted him. Mr. A was seriously injured, and Mr. B was reportedly taken into custody. Wang Dalu is known to have bragged about the photos and videos of Mr. A‘s assault to his friends.

In addition, Wang Dalu was arrested on charges of draft dodging on the 18th of last month. In order to evade his military service, Wang Dalu obtained a false medical certificate from a doctor and changed his status from ‘reserve service’, which is eligible for active duty, to ‘immunity’, which is exempt. It is reported that he paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in exchange for issuing the false certificate.

Wang Dalu was also released on bail of 150,000 yuan (approximately 6.5 million won). After that, he was scheduled to enlist in the Taichung Military Training Center in Taiwan on the 13th of this month to serve as an alternative soldier for a year, but his military service is uncertain as the attempted murder charge was discovered.

Meanwhile, Wang Darling rose to stardom in the Chinese-speaking world after appearing in the 2015 film ‘My Girls’ Generation’. He also received significant attention in Korea through ‘My Girls‘ Generation’. He was also known to be close with Seungri (real name Lee Seung-hyun) from Big Bang, but Wang Darling denied any friendship with Seungri when the ‘Burning Sun Gate’ broke out.
