Nichkhun's Regret

Although I just posted about how great soju is, I felt the need to speak my mind about an accident involving 2pm's Nichkhun recently.

If you haven't heard, Nichkhun was involved in a minor accident when his car had bumped into a motorcyclist.

I don't think it would have been sensationalized so much if it weren't for the fact that he was an idol.

Apparently, he had just finished having a couple of beers with his group members and company staff and was driving home to his dorm not too far away when this happened. The motorcyclist is in the hospital with minor injuries and Nichkhun had his license suspended.

My questions are... If he was having drinks with people from his company, and they knew he would be driving, why in the world would you offer a drink to him? And if they had seen him drink, why let him drink another beer? And why wouldn't they have someone make sure he was ok to drive?

To me, it's not entirely NichKhun's fault. (note: his company did take part of the blame in this) He shouldn't have been put in such a situation in the first place. What is his company doing? They are not taking care of their stars properly.

As a result of this, Nichkhun is being edited out of commercials and shows.

Now I understand it's bad PR, and I'm not saying he should get off scot free without consequence, but isn't this a little extreme? He's human, he makes mistakes and he's really sorry. He's playing it low and reflecting on his actions, and his company is making sure the motorcyclist is recovering comfortably.

I hope fans stick by him through this. Poor guy. Best thing for him to do is learn from his mistake and not repeat it. Nichkhun hwaiting!
