According to the Road Traffic Act, if the blood alcohol level is 0.03% or higher during a crackdown while driving under the influence of alcohol, the license will be suspended for 100 penalty points. A license of 0.08% or more will be revoked. In the event of an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, is it imprisoned for not less than 1 year and not more than 2 years or fined not more than 5 million won and not more than 10 million won?You're going to be put in.
In the case of electric kickboards, including them in motorized bicycles under the Road Traffic Act will be subject to the same punishment as driving under the influence of cars.
Suga is currently working as a social service worker after entering the Nonsan Training Center in Chungcheongnam-do in March and receiving basic military training. The date of release of the convocation is June 2025.
According to the Military Manpower Administration's manual on prohibiting social service personnel, if you drink, gamble, or disturbance during your work period, you will be given a one-time warning and extended service for five days. Attention is focusing on whether Suga's service period will be extended with this incident.
Earlier in May, trot singer Kim Ho-joong was arrested and charged after crashing a taxi with his Bentley car under the influence of alcohol.
In June, news of actor Park Sang-min's drunk driving was reported. On May 19, he was caught by police who drove his vehicle to the vicinity of his house while drunk, then fell asleep on the side of the road, and was dispatched after receiving a witness report.
In addition, several celebrities, including actor Kim Sae-ron, Kwak Do-won, and singer Gil, have been punished on related charges such as drunk driving.
As such, the repeated drunk driving incidents in the entertainment industry are raising great social concerns, and the incident also raises the possibility of extending Suga's service period as a social service worker. There is also an urgent need for strict punishment and prevention measures for drunk driving.
