Suga even complained to the Military Manpower Administration about his service status..the aftermath of heavy drunk driving



A complaint was reported to have been filed to investigate the service status of Suga (real name Min Yoon-ki) of the group BTS (BTS), which is suspected of driving under the influence.

Sports Kyunghyang reported on the 12th that a complaint was filed with the Seoul Metropolitan Military Manpower Administration asking for a thorough investigation into Suga's service status.

According to the report, the complainant A explained "Sugar did not realize that it was not possible to use the 'electric kickboard (scooter)' while drunk" could be an indirect poet saying "I have been driving the same kickboard (scooter) after I had finished my service as a social service worker."As we cannot rule out the possibility that Suga did not perform his service properly the day after drinking and that the service institution also benefited from Suga's service convenience, a thorough investigation is inevitable," he said, calling for the need to find out the truth.

Earlier, Suga fell while riding an electric scooter near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, on the night of the 6th, and police patrolling the neighborhood conducted a sobriety test and found that the blood alcohol level was 0.227%, far above the standard for revocation of the license (more than 0.08%).

According to Article 148-2 (3) of the Road Traffic Act, if the blood alcohol level is more than 0.08%, the license will be revoked and imprisoned for more than one year and two years or 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 or a fine of more than 10 million won and less than 20 million won.



The police did not recognize that Suga was a member of BTS at the time, and they only took measures to return home after failing to properly investigate Suga because he was intoxicated. The electric scooter that Suga drove was also not confiscated. As a result, it is believed that Suga should be summoned again and further investigated, such as writing a record.

An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said in a regular press conference that `"We tracked the movement from the location of the accident and checked the final travel distance and route where Suga drank and drove the scooter." he said. He also explained that he is coordinating specific dates, saying that he will summon Suga soon to investigate. When asked by reporters whether Suga asked for a private appearance, he answered, `I haven't been contacted yet.'



Police have begun administrative disposition procedures to revoke Suga's license.

Among them, attention is being paid to whether Suga, who is currently working as a social service worker, will be on the photo line for the first time as a BTS member.

Regarding the possibility of Suga being on the photo line, lawyer Cho Ki-yeon told the TV Chosun News' on the 12th that `"According to the police officer's public information rules, it was revised not to disclose attendance information. It should not be (disclosed)," "However, more criticism is being raised over allegations that Suga or his agency tried to reduce the case at the beginning of the incident. So in the process of adjusting the attendance schedule, if Suga himself says he will apologize to the people or fans, it can be made public."

Meanwhile, Suga entered the training center in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do in March to receive basic military training and is currently working as a social service worker. Suga's call-up date is June 2025.
