Actor Ko Kyung-pyo, 36, is under police investigation after causing a traffic accident while driving drunk.

According to Yonhap, Ko was driving his personal vehicle in Dongyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday when he struck a garbage truck.

A breathalyzer test found his blood alcohol concentration exceeded the threshold for license revocation.

Police are investigating the details of the incident.

Ko has been active on variety programming recently. He drew attention for showcasing his vocal skills on the "95 MBC Seoul Song Festival" segment of MBC's "Nolmyeon Mwohani," and is set to appear alongside actors Park Bo-gum and Lee Sang-i in tvN's "Bogeom Magical 2," which is scheduled to premiere Nov. 29.
