A 30-year-old member for a six-person boy group was arrested last night for drunk driving and subsequently evading police.
Before the news broke, @oniontaker had the details.
Someone from 6-member group with surname "Yoon" got arrested for drunk driving last night. And refused to stop for police.

These hints initially led people to suspect BEAST‘s Yoon Doojoon, but his age didn’t match and the scandal would’ve been significant if it was him. Instead, I think the clues indicate that it’s Supernova‘s Yoon Sungmo.
And netizens seem to have figured out as much.
4. [+43, -1] Supernova’s Yoon Sungmo?
5. [+29, -1] Heard that Yoon-ssi went to Sungmo Hospital
6. [+26, -0] Read on another site that it’s Supernova’s Yoon-ssi;;
7. [+22, -0] Supernov…? There’s a Yoon something in that group
8. [+20, -1] I wonder what Supernova’s Yoon Sungmo has been up to
10. [+14, -4] It must be Supernova’s Yoon, right? He’s also an ’87er ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
11. [+12, -2] Just say it, it’s Supernova!!!
We’ll have to wait for confirmation of the news, but this seems the most likely at the moment.
Celebrities can bounce back from driving drunk (like Nichkhun), but the whole evading police and allegedly injuring multiple police officers is something else.
