According to an exclusive report by the Seoul Shimbun on the 21st, Suga will appear before the police on the 22nd.
Suga has been coordinating his schedule ahead of his police appearance, and will be investigated on whether to reduce the issue along with how he drove under the influence.
In addition, Suga is expected to appear in private without being on the photo line.
At a regular press conference held on the 19th, the police said, "We intend to make a photo line based on the same standard as other suspects.". We will do the same as the procedure for summoning the suspect."
In addition, regarding allegations that Suga and his agency Big Hit Music tried to reduce the issue by calling 'electric scooter' in their apology 'electric kickboard', they asked "If there is such a part, wouldn't the investigation team look into it?"
The agency pointed out that "If you crack down, you are supposed to explain the remaining procedures, but I don't know why you announced that position because you're drunk and can't remember."
Earlier on the 6th, Suga was found falling while driving an electric scooter while drinking alcohol in Yongsan-gu. In response, Suga returned home on an electric kickboard after drinking at the meal. He violated the road traffic laws without realizing that he could not use an electric kickboard while drinking and thinking that it was a close distance. "I fell alone while setting up an electric kickboard at the front door of the house, and there was a police officer around me, so I took a breath test and found that I was issued with a license cancellation and a fine."
However, Suga's ride was not 'Electric Kickboard', but 'Electric Scooter', and the blood alcohol concentration was 0.227%, far above the license revocation standard (0,08%).
The controversy has intensified over Suga's lies. As a result, the fandom is also being divided. Some fandom are supporting Suga by attacking other K-pop artists, while some have even held wreaths and truck protests demanding Suga's departure.
Meanwhile, Suga is currently serving alternatively as a social service worker, and the date of his call-up will be June next year.
