Kim struggled to find work after a 2022 drunk driving incident, for which she was later fined in court. [...] Newspapers and websites criticized her whenever she was seen partying with friends, or when she complained about her lack of work and nasty comments on social media. She was even criticized for smiling while filming an independent movie last year.

On one hand, drunk drivers need harsh punishment, but on the other hand, that is rough. Imagine having just one too many drinks before heading home and this becomes your life.

IMO drunk drivers that haven't injured anyone don't need much punishment beyond having their license suspended, and maybe a wealth-proportional fine. Drunk drivers that have injured or killed someone certainly deserve harsher punishment, but having your entire career ruined over one no-collateral DD incident seems like overkill.
