Seoul Gangnam Police Station said it received multiple reports around 8 a.m. Wednesday that a car driving in Chungdam-dong, southern Seoul was “swaying precariously” on the road.

Kim was stopped by police and failed a breathalyzer test. She then requested her blood be drawn for further analysis.

Her other notable works include films “A Girl at My Door” (2014), “Snowy Road” (2015) and television series “Secret Healer” (2016) on JTBC. She is expected to appear in SBS’s upcoming television series “Trolley" and Netflix Korea's original series “Hunting Dogs.”
