In the wake of the case of Bae Seung-ah Yang, who was hit and killed by a drunk-driving car in her 60s who was behind the wheel without even being able to contain herself, the so-called "Drunk Murder Driver Disclosure Act" is being proposed.

Assemblyman Ha Tae-kyung of the People's Power decided to introduce a bill that would allow people to disclose their identities after deliberation if they are arrested for drunk driving or driving under the influence of alcohol twice within 10 years.

The intention is to add drunkenness to the disclosure of personal information limited to violent crimes and sexual crimes, raising awareness of serious crimes.

Lawmaker Yun Chang-hyun of the same party decided to introduce a bill to make public the identity of a person injured or killed in a drunken accident at a child protection center.

As the number of drunk traffic accidents in the "school zone" has not decreased to 2 in the last four years, the proposal is to disclose personal information in addition to the existing punishment.

Visiting the National Assembly, Ms. Bae's brother repeatedly called for strict punishment for the perpetrators.

A bill mandating a device that does not start when a DUI convict gets into a car after drinking has been introduced and scrapped repeatedly and has not crossed the threshold of the National Assembly.

If the current system does not prevent drunk driving fatalities, special measures are needed to change it.
