When drunk driving is combined with a hit-and-run rather than an ordinary hit-and-run, if the victim suffers injury, the offender faces imprisonment for a definite term of at least 1 year, or a fine ranging from 5 million won to 30 million won, a drunk driving hit-and-run fine, may be imposed, and if the victim dies, life imprisonment or imprisonment for at least 5 years may be imposed.
