On the 16th, a KBS official said, `It is undecided whether Suga will hold a broadcasting regulation review committee, and there are no plans to hold it yet,' adding, `Since Suga is serving as an alternative, there is nothing to talk about the timing yet.'
According to the operating standards of the Broadcasting Appearance Regulation Review Committee, KBS can decide on the recommendation to refrain from appearing, temporarily restricting appearances, and suspending broadcasting, depending on the importance of the case for celebrities who have caused social controversy.
Singer Kim Ho-joong, who is currently on trial after being charged with a drunk hit-and-run, was temporarily suspended, while actor Kim Sae-ron, Shin Hye-sung, and actor Kwak Do-won were also temporarily suspended.
Earlier on the 6th, Suga was found falling while driving an electric scooter while drinking alcohol in Yongsan-gu. In response, Suga returned home on an electric kickboard after drinking at the meal. He violated the road traffic laws without realizing that he could not use an electric kickboard while drinking and thinking that it was a close distance. "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 I took a breath test and found that I was issued with a license cancellation and a fine."
However, Suga's ride was not 'Electric Kickboard', but 'Electric Scooter', and the blood alcohol concentration was 0.227%, far above the license revocation standard (0,08%).
The controversy has intensified over Suga's lies. As a result, the fandom is also being divided. Some fandom are supporting Suga by attacking other K-pop artists, while some have even held wreaths and truck protests demanding Suga's departure.
Police have confirmed Suga's final travel distance and route and are coordinating the recall schedule. The police will ask the exact amount of alcohol consumed and how it happened.
