A statement was release by the Prosecutor's office regarding Nickhun's DUI case:
"Nichkhun already reached a settlement with the other party. There were no serious injuries, and his blood alcohol level was low, so the case was settled with a summary judgement (settled by a judge with no jury involved). There were no further investigations."
Nichkhun has to pay 4 million KRW in fines, that's ~$3500 USD. His blood alcohol level was 0.056%. I don't know what the legal limit is in Korea but the legal limit in the U.S. is .08% BAC (blood alcohol content) and they did say it was low. It almost sounds like he had to pay to keep the other party quiet.
I hope this finally ends Nichkhun's ordeal. And hopefully TV producers will stop editing him out of programs (ie. MBC's God of Victory with Shinhwa and 2pm on Sept 5th) he participated in prior to the incident. His fans still want to see him.

Siwon Shows Support For Nichkhun
In a tweet today, Siwon Choi of Super Junior, tweeted a friendly message of support. He asked that the public be understanding of Nichkhun and give him space to reflect upon his actions. This came up after volley upon volley of criticism and rebuke had been thrown at Nichkhun following his DUI (driving under the influence) accident involving a motorcyclist a couple of days ago.
"A few days ago korean idol group 2PM member Nichkhun was involved in a traffic accident while drinking and driving which is an absolutely illegal action. To this point Nickhun should regret and refrain from committing such actions ever again. I believe he is examining himself more because of this accident. Nickhun is a symbol of the Thai dream of success and has significance for both Korea and Thailand . Let us give him time to reflect from which he will emerge a better and reborn person. Thank you."
I hope the public remembers that idols are humans too and that they make mistakes. Luckily, this time around, the accident wasn't fatal.
If you own a drivers license, chances are that you've been in a situation where you almost hit someone. Think back to that time. And imagine that feeling multiplied a hundredfold. Not a great feeling is it? Let's follow Siwon's lead and give Nichkhun time to reflect.
