Suga came out of Yongsan Police Station in Seoul at 10:54 p.m. on the 23rd and stood in front of reporters after investigating the alleged drunk driving.
SUGA said, "I'm so sorry"I want to say that I am so sorry for causing you so much hurt and disappointment by my wrong actions," he apologized.
He then said "I am deeply sorry and regretful, too. I won't let this happen again"I'd like to say I'm really sorry to the many people who loved me. I want to say sorry again," he bowed his head.
Suga then boarded the prepared vehicle without answering reporters' questions such as 'Why didn't he appear immediately after being caught driving under the influence?', 'It is true that he only had a glass of beer, but'What do you think about the public opinion of leaving?'
Suga, who appeared earlier at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul at 7:45 p.m. on the same day, said with a thin face "I'm very sorry." I'm truly reflecting on the fact that I gave a lot of fans and people a big disappointment"I'll come back to investigate faithfully. Once again, I'm sorry," he bowed and apologized.
According to the police, Suga is accused of driving an electric scooter while drunk on the afternoon of the 6th (under the Road Traffic Act). At the time, Suga fell while driving an electric scooter while drunk, and was caught by police passing by the scene.
Suga was known to have told the police that he had only had a glass of beer, but later it was known that Suga's blood alcohol concentration was 0.227% intoxicated at the time. If the blood alcohol concentration is 0.2% or more, you can be punished by imprisonment for not less than 2 years and not more than 6 years or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 30 million won.
Suspicions were also raised that Suga and the agency tried to reduce the case.
Immediately after the incident, Suga and the agency said "We violated the road traffic laws without realizing the easy idea of being close and the inability to use an electric kickboard while drunk." However, CCTV revealed that Suga rode an electric scooter instead of an electric kickboard.
In response, the agency explained that "the product used by the artist was a kickboard with a saddle, and therefore it was recognized that the classification may vary depending on the performance and specifications of the product, and the scope of responsibility for the accident may also vary during further verification.", he also apologized.
Meanwhile, Suga, who is currently working as a social service worker, will be released from the call-up in June next year.
