While under the influence, she crashed into a guardrail, a tree and a power converter device in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul and attempted to flee the scene. However, she was reported by netizens and was court-ordered to pay a fine of 20 million KRW and her driving license was also revoked. The actress apologized numerous times after the incident took place; however, fans and netizens were not ready to let it go. She even had to step down from a project she was shooting for, titled Trolley.
Her last K-drama was Bloodhounds (2023) and she has been on a hiatus since then. As per her friend, she had comeback plans this year after changing her name to Kim Ah Im. However, details regarding whether she would sign with a new agency are not known. Since parting ways with GOLDMEDALIST, she had not entered into an exclusive contract with any other agency, ultimately making it the last management label she was affiliated with.
