Former President Moon Jae-in's daughter was booked Saturday for drunk driving in Seoul, resulting in minor injuries to a taxi driver, officials said.

A car driven by Moon Da-hye crashed into a taxi while changing lanes in the Itaewon neighborhood of Seoul's Yongsan district at 2:51 a.m., causing minor injuries to the taxi driver, according to police officials.

Her blood alcohol concentration was reportedly measured at 0.14 percent, exceeding the 0.08 percent threshold for driver's license revocation.

The Yongsan Police Station booked her for investigation on suspicion of drunk driving and plans to question her in person soon. (Yonhap)
