Drunken celeb beats up taxi-driver

0828-yeo.jpg

Model turned actor Yuh Ook Hwan beat up a 66 year old taxi driver when he overcharged Yuh’s taxi fare last night. The taxi driver did grossly overcharge, but that’s no excuse for Yuh to beat somebody up – no matter how drunk he was. Yuh wasn’t arrested, but he’s currently in the hot seat as netizens are actively giving him a piece of their mind on his cyworld and various message boards.

*Yuh’s past work include School, Nonstop 4 and Romance Hunter.

    OMG that is bad. Why would he do that?! He is a crazy man.

    how disgusting. he should be ashamed of himself. Paris Hilton and Michael Vick thinks he’s jacked up. who is he again?

    I can’t hate on the guy. I’ve wanted to punch some of these taxi guys in the face before too. At least he had the balls to go and do it (even if he was crazy drunk). But once the old guy was down, he should have walked away and threw the cash at him gangsta style and say “keep the change.”

  11. 12 michi August 29, 2007 at 6:49 am

    i agree with dumbo :( the taxi driver had it coming.. why take advantage of a drunk guy and his money?

  12. 13 Dumpling August 29, 2007 at 7:28 am

    His ass should be in jail. PERIOD.

  13. 14 girl August 29, 2007 at 7:56 am

    he’s kinda cute looking. i don’t remember him from SCHOOL but he deserves to get his ass kicked for beating up an old man. what an a-hole. how can he get away with it. he should have been arrested at the spot.

  14. 15 Dan August 29, 2007 at 8:01 am

    OH shit thats crazy ,beating up old man.Thats not right at all.

  15. 16 DUMBO August 29, 2007 at 8:27 am

    I think society has this idea that being old is an automatic pass for everything. a thief is a thief.

  16. 17 funkymunky August 29, 2007 at 9:11 am

    don’t let the age fool you guys! that taxi driver was probably instigating. i totally respect my elders but some of them deserve it, man. hate to say it cuz i know i’ll get bashed but i’ve come across a lot of old people with the nastiest personalities. i mean, i wouldn’t go so far as beating them up but have wanted to on several occasions. now, maybe if i was drunk on those occasions……

  17. 18 anon August 29, 2007 at 9:27 am

    there is no excuse for beating up a 66 year old, despite the overcharging. I’m am surprised, considering Korea is a nation that regards elders with great respect. Someone needs to give this dude a kick off his high-horse.

  19. 20 se7enfan August 29, 2007 at 9:58 am

    He looks Japanese….I’ve never seen him before but in this he does…

  20. 21 peepoo August 29, 2007 at 11:01 am

    well, korea ranks 3rd in alcohol consumption in the world. so what do you expect from psycho alcoholic wife-beaters? ok, only the girls are psychos. JUST kidding! hey, these are comments and jokes…or facts..hehe…from my KOREAN friends!

  21. 22 PeaccV August 29, 2007 at 11:32 am

    No,Korea ranks 2nd in alcohol consumption in the world.
    Russia is 1st!
    Go Korea for 1st!
    You Koreans can do it!

  22. 23 peepoo August 29, 2007 at 12:36 pm

    they’re 2nd now??? dang, they’re moving on up from a few months ago when my friend proudly bragged about his fellow countrymen. gotta give it to em…they strive to be #1 in everything!

  23. 24 lyn August 29, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    peepoo and PeaccV, loved your comments. Had me balling for like 5 minutes.

    Who is this guy? Why are we talking about this 2-bit loser? Firstly, when you say “beat up”, I gotta ask, how serious were the injuries? He’s not arrested, so the injuries might not be that bad.

    The taxi-driver seems like a major douche-bag. Maybe he wasn’t even hurt, just a few bruises and scratches here and there.

  24. 25 jen August 29, 2007 at 1:32 pm

    Well maybe you shouldn’t get so pissed drunk in public to the point that someone feels they can take advantage of your incoherency. They’re both idiots but the celeb is stupider because he put himself in the position to be ripped off by getting shit faced drunk.

  25. 26 ---- August 29, 2007 at 4:55 pm

    wow. what a dumbass. -_- the old man should have done some self defense! hahah

  26. 27 Carmela August 29, 2007 at 11:02 pm

    He is crazy????? Beating a 66 year old man????? Gosh!!!!! Someone must give a intense kick to this man…..

  27. 28 jungilwooSoulmate August 30, 2007 at 2:32 am

    ouch… thats gotta hurt for his reputation

  28. 29 bebetama August 30, 2007 at 4:30 am

    what a jerk?

  29. 30 monalisa August 30, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    He should have just lodged an official complaint with the authorities.

  30. 31 JO MAMA August 30, 2007 at 4:51 pm

    ehh, i wouldn’t necessarily say he is an a-hole for beating up the taxi driver. there are alot of nasty taxi drivers trying to take advantage of people when theyre drunk, regardless of their gender. i had alot of my friends taken advantage of when they were drunk. but beating up the taxi driver is a bit extreme. unless of course the driver starts to hit you first, then its all about self defense baby.

    im surprised alot of girls say hes an a-hole. well im sure when u girls are drunk and are taken advantage of, such as being felt up, or rang up more than actual, im sure you would want some one to beat up the driver as well. regardless of the age.

  31. 32 Mirindalove August 30, 2007 at 11:10 pm

    The thing is HE’S DRUNK

    How could he possibly be mind concious at that particular time?????

    I know about respecting elders and so on, but if a person is in a drunken state… he can do anything beyond his mind control….. especially when he’s been taken advantage of..

  32. 33 chaeBIcheeks_x3 August 31, 2007 at 1:32 pm

    Celebs shouldnt even get drunk by themselve.. first of all it ruins their self image when things like this happens.. i believe both were wrong..but beating someone up… major harsh!
