The JoongAng Ilbo reported on the 8th that when Suga was booked for drunk driving, he drove a mini electric scooter capable of driving up to 30 kilometers per hour.
According to the report, the scooter is a foldable model that cannot be attached to and detached from the saddle and belongs to a motorized bicycle among electric scooters. If Suga rode an electric kickboard as originally claimed, he would only cancel his license and impose an administrative fine of 100,000 won, but for drunk driving of an electric scooter, he or she could face imprisonment for more than one year and up to two years or a fine of more than 5 million won and up to 10 million won. Police previously said Suga could face criminal punishment.
Meanwhile, Suga, who is working for the public interest, was found to have fallen while driving an electric scooter while drinking alcohol in Yongsan-gu on the 6th. At that time, the blood alcohol concentration was the license revocation level (more than 0.08%).
Since then, Suga has violated road traffic laws without realizing that he cannot use an electric kickboard while drinking at a meal and the easy idea of being close to him " and in a drunk state." "I fell alone in the process of 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front door of the house, and there was a police officer around me, so I took a breath test and found that the license was revoked and a fine was imposed." However, suspicions of reducing the incident arose when CCTV footage revealed that Suga drove an electric scooter, not an electric kickboard.
Then, the agency Big Hit Music "I'm sorry for causing confusion by issuing a statement in a hurry without scrutinizing various circumstances.""An additional position was announced, and the product used by the artist was determined to be a kickboard in the form of a saddle. In the process of additional confirmation, 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. There was absolutely no intention of reducing the matter", but the aftermath has not subsided.
Meanwhile, Suga has been serving as an alternative service worker since September last year.
