‘Hanbli’ will shed light on a taxi driver assault incident.

On the 18th, the South Korea Zero Traffic Accident Challenge JTBC ‘Han Moon-chul‘s Black Box Review’ (hereafter ‘Hanbli’) will shed light on a case of indiscriminate assault against a taxi driver. The revealed black box footage shows a shocking scene where a drunk driver suddenly kicks the driver in the backseat of a taxi driving late at night. After the drunk driver reported it to the police, the drunk driver did not stop the assault by grabbing his arm and twisting it. Upon seeing this, The Boyz’s Sangyeon could not hide his anger and said, “Why are you doing that?”

The production team hears about the situation directly from the victimized taxi driver. The taxi driver testified, “Five minutes after getting in, the drunk driver started making sarcastic remarks.” In particular, the drunk driver, who had been using informal language and swearing without even telling the exact destination, started kicking and saying, “Where are you going now?” and the driver, who was driving, complained that he could not even defend himself. When the victim, who was diagnosed with a three-week recovery period due to a worsening rib injury from the assault, revealed that he was also suffering from mental trauma, attorney Han Moon-chul called for strict punishment, saying, “Assault on a driver is punishable by at least three years in prison.”



‘Hanbli’ also introduces a suspicious triple-pileup accident. The released black box footage depicts a shocking scene where a car crossing the sidewalk suddenly reverses and collides with a black box car waiting for a traffic light, and then quickly dashes into the oncoming lane, causing a secondary accident. While the cause of the mysterious accident that involved three vehicles colliding and overturning remains unclear, the driver of the black box car said, “I heard the driver of the car that caused the accident is in his 70s or 80s,” adding to the sadness.

Meanwhile, The Boyz’s Sangyeon and Younghoon, who have returned with their third regular album, ‘Unexpected’, will appear on the show today. The two will present a sweet stage with a duet of the track ‘Nothing’. In particular, Sangyeon warms up the studio atmosphere by leaving a warm greeting to fans along with news of his military enlistment.

JTBC’s traffic public interest variety show ‘Han Moon-chul’s Black Box Review’, which has become even newer and richer, will air today (the 18th) at 8:50 PM.
