Following the Changwon concert, Kim will appear at the 'World Union Orchestra Super Classic: Kim Ho-jung & Prima Donna' held at Seoul Olympic Park on the 23rd and 24th, and on June 1st and 2nd, he will continue the 'Trotarotti Classic Arena Tour' schedule at the Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeongbuk.

The 'Super Classic' scheduled for the end of this month is currently under discussion by the concert organizer, who has been requested by the organizer KBS to secure a replacement performer, regarding whether to secure a substitute.

Kim is accused of causing an accident around 11:40 p.m. on the 9th in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where he collided with a taxi on the opposite side of the road and fled the scene (charges include hit-and-run injury under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes and failure to take measures after the accident).

About three hours after the accident, Kim's manager went to the police on his behalf and testified that he was the one who caused the accident. Kim did not return home immediately after the accident but went to a hotel in Gyeonggi-do and appeared at the police station at 4:30 p.m. the next day, 17 hours later, admitting that he was the driver.

Lee Kwang-deuk, CEO of Saenggak Entertainment, Kim's agency, issued a statement the day before, stating that he had requested Kim's manager to appear at the police station on Kim's behalf.
