According to Chinese media, the actress posted a letter admitting her mistakes, apologizing to the public and pledging to take full responsibility before the law.
According to Kim Than's sharing, the incident happened on March 16, 2025 during a trip with her manager and assistant. She was the person directly driving the vehicle. During the movement, to avoid a small dog suddenly rushing out onto the road, Kim Than steered sharply, causing the car to collide with the warning sign and fence of a house along the road.
At that time, I was more seriously injured, so I was taken to the emergency room and had to undergo emergency surgery. The assistant stayed at the scene to handle the incident," Kim Than said. However, due to panic and lack of legal knowledge, the assistant confessed that he was the driver, leading to initial handling that was not in accordance with reality.
After her health stabilized, Kim Than took the initiative to re-examine the legal process and realized that she herself must be responsible. "As the person directly driving the vehicle, I cannot evade responsibility. I have contacted the police agency to request re-handling of the case according to regulations," the actress wrote.
Kim Than also confirmed that all repair costs for cars, traffic signs and fences of people's houses were paid by herself, and compensation has been completed since April 2025. At the same time, the actress admitted that her personal actions have affected society and embezzled public resources.
As a public figure, I not only did not set a good example but also caused trouble for many people. I am extremely regretful and remorseful. After this incident, I will seriously self-criticize, strictly comply with traffic laws and never evade social responsibility," Kim Than expressed.
Previously, according to Chinese media, the accident was "dug up" when the insurance company discovered that the driver was not actually an assistant but Kim Than. The incident caused fierce public controversy, many brands were said to have temporarily suspended cooperation, and some film projects were at risk of being affected.
