After completing his work as a social service worker on the 23rd, Suga will appear at the traffic investigation department of Yongsan Police Station and be investigated in connection with the drunk driving accident of an electric scooter. The police call Suga and investigate how he drove under the influence.
Earlier, amid rampant observations about whether Suga will be on the photo line for the first time in BTS, Suga will visit Yongsan Police Station later in the day to meet with reporters. As of 4 p.m., Yongsan Police Station has already been surrounded by numerous reporters and is awaiting Suga's attendance. Accordingly, there is an observation that Suga may stand on the photo line. The police cannot intentionally create a photographic line. They say they will do the same standard as other suspects. However, since there is no separate underground parking lot, it is highly likely that Suga will be included in the reporters' cameras.
Sugar has drawn public criticism to date. Suga and his agency, Big Hit Music, expressed their position on the incident and became controversial by mentioning something different from the facts. Suga, who fell while riding an electric scooter near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 6th, returned home on the fan community platform Weverse on the 7th with an electric kickboard", "In violation of the paint pain law, the complacent idea of a close distance and the inability to use an electric kickboard while drunk.", "I fell by myself while setting up an electric kickboard at the front door of my house," he said, but this was not true.
Suga's ride was not an electric kickboard, but an electric scooter, and he is known to have even run on the sidewalk, not in front of his house. In addition, contrary to the explanation that 'I drank a glass of beer and drove for a while', the blood alcohol concentration was reported to be over 0.2%, raising suspicions that he was trying to reduce the incident.
Even the fact that a summons investigation is conducted 17 days after he was caught drunk driving is an inevitable part of public criticism. Although suspicions have emerged that the police investigation was a preferential treatment, the police say it is the same standard as other suspects without preferential treatment or human rights violations.
Suga's blood alcohol level is a figure that can be punished by weight under the current law, and several observations are also appearing in his level of punishment. According to the Road Traffic Act, if the blood alcohol level is 0.08% or higher, the license will be revoked, imprisoned for more than one year and less than two years, and fined more than 5 million won and less than 10 million won. However, if the figure exceeds 0.2%, the punishment will be strengthened with imprisonment for more than two years and less than five years, and fines of more than 10 million won and less than 20 million won.
