Suga turns out to be a disgrace to criminal punishment for driving a drunk scooter, but
BTS Suga's succession of 'Explaining Lies' is as disappointing as drunk driving.

Suga fell while driving his electric scooter after drinking alcohol in Yongsan-gu on the 6th, and police found it. A nearby police officer went to help Suga and smelled alcohol and started a sobriety test at the scene, and the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul booked Suga on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (Drinking Driving) on the 7th, the next day.

In response, Suga said "I fell alone while setting up an electric kickboard at the front door of the house, and there was a police officer around me, so a drunk test resulted in a license cancellation and a fine."

At the time of the initial report, Sugar was a kickboard, not an electric scooter, and drove briefly after a glass of beer" is known to have made a statement to the effect. Haji said, "It turned out to be a lie when CCTV was released.

In the released video, Suga was driving a 'electric scooter' rather than a 'electric kickboard'. Suga's scooter is a model that is not included in the personal mobile device (PM), and the personal mobile device has a maximum speed of less than 25km/h and a body weight of less than 30kg, but the electric scooter owned by Suga can reach a maximum speed of 30km/h, so it is classified as a motorized bicycle. Drunk driving of personal mobile devices may end up with revocation of licenses and imposition of fines, but electric scooters are treated on the same basis as car drunk driving, making it impossible for Suga to avoid criminal punishment.

It's not just that. Suga's claim that "I had a beer" was also a lie. According to the Dong-A Ilbo's exclusive report on the 9th, the blood alcohol level measured when Suga was booked at the police station was 0.227%.

According to the Road Traffic Act, those with a blood alcohol content of 0.2% or more face 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. This is similar to Sugar's, as actor Kim Sae-ron, who had a long period of self-reflection after a drunk driving accident in May 2022, recorded a high blood alcohol concentration of more than 0.2%. Kim Sae-ron was fined 20 million won at the trial.

After the first incident, Suga fell alone while setting up an electric kickboard at the front gate of the house through the fan community Weverse, and there was a police officer around him, so he was ordered to cancel his license and imposed a fine. I apologize to everyone who has been hurt by my careless and wrong behavior, and I will be more careful with my behavior to prevent this from happening in the future."

When he was suspected of trying to reduce the case due to continued lies, he decided through his agency that it was 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", he explained again.

However, while Suga, who faces his first crisis since his debut, is a big mistake just by 'Drunk Driving', his urgent move to cover up his mistakes with 'Lies' is causing more disappointment to fans.

Meanwhile, Suga, who entered the training center in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do in March to receive basic military training, is currently working as a social service worker. The date of release of the convocation is June 2025.
