In 2006 Kwon filed a complaint against Kim Tae-chon, the godfather of Beomseobangpa (one of Korea's three major criminal gangs), for threatening him when the actor failed to keep his promise to hold a fan meeting in Japan. Kwon and the defendant eventually came to a settlement, but prosecutors continued investigations into possible ties between kkangpae and the Japanese yakuza and Chinese crime syndicates that are looking to cash in on the Korean Wave entertainment business.[1][2][3][4]
There was fan backlash to his 2008 marriage due to his wife's previous dating history.[5] In an appearance on talk show Golden Fishery hosted by Kang Ho-dong in 2009, Kwon said, "After I got married, membership in my fan cafe dwindled from 240,000 to 135,000 - it was like a stock market crash." He also said that before he got married, he had an average of seven TV commercials per year, but by early 2009 that number had dwindled down to zero.[6][7]
In the early hours of June 12, 2010, Kwon was involved in a car accident in Gangnam District. According to news reports, Kwon was driving on the wrong side of the road and hit a parked car. He then ran into the police car that had pursued him, continued driving and hit a tree before fleeing the scene on foot. Two days later, he turned himself in at Gangnam Police Station, claiming he had not been drunk.[8][9] Kwon later made a public apology through a handwritten letter, and was fined ₩7 million by a Seoul district court.[10]

음주운전 의심 차량사고 후 도주 사건
2010년 6월 12일 오전 2시 55분쯤 권상우는 서울 강남구 청담동의 한 골목길에서 본인의 캐딜락 승용차를 몰다 길가에 주차돼 있던 제네시스 승용차의 앞범퍼를 들이받았다. 이어 권상우는 본인의 차를 후진하다 뒤따라 오던 경찰 순찰차와 부딪치고서 바로 300여m를 달아나다 인근에 위치한 주차장 안의 나무를 들이받은 후 차에서 내려 종적을 감췄다. 사고 발생 이틀 후인 6월 14일 오후 2시 30분쯤 관할 경찰서인 강남경찰서에 출석해 조사를 받았다. 경찰 조사에서 권상우는 "경찰차가 뒤에서 따라오는데다 갑자기 사고가 나자 겁이 났다"며 선처를 호소하였다. 또 이 사건은 사건 발생 12일 후인 6월 24일 처음 언론에 기사화되었다.[1]
6월 26일 강남경찰서는 이 사건에 대하여 사고 후 미조치로 결론지어 검찰에 송치하였다.[2] 이에 7월 13일 서울중앙지검 형사5부 박균택 부장검사는 권상우를 벌금 500만원에 약식 기소하였다고 언론에 밝혔다.[3] 7월 19일 언론은 이 사건을 수사하였던 경찰관 2명이 사고 당시 바로 권상우의 음주여부를 측정하였어야 하는데 하지 않아서 근무태만으로 징계를 받는다고 보도하였다.[4] 사건 발생 38일 후인 7월 21일 권상우는 자신의 팬카페에 친필 사과문을 올렸다.[5] 7월 29일 서울중앙지법 형사 18단독 김세종 판사는 벌금 500만원에 약식기소된 권상우에게 200만원이 많은 700만원을 납부하라는 약식명령을 내리는 것으로 종결되었다.[6]
