Drunk driving trial concluded with a fine

How the case unfolded
Background
Our client drove about 1 km while drunk and was charged with drunk driving. The case went to a formal trial rather than summary proceedings.
Issues and ruling
The court acknowledged some unfavorable factors, but considered that our client deeply regretted the offense, that the offense was relatively minor given the alcohol level and the place and distance driven, and the circumstances before and after the offense.
Outcome
Our client was fined 5 million won.
