BTS‘s Suga is currently embroiled in a drunk-driving controversy. According to various Korean news outlets, the star had been found fallen over in Hannam-dong. Police escorted Suga to the nearest station, where breathalyzer results showed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level that greatly exceeded the legal limit. The electric scooter that Suga was operating has been officially classified as a motorized bike, which must adhere to the same traffic laws as other motor vehicles, such as cars.
JTBC previously obtained and aired CCTV footage of the accident on August 7, 2024. However, the electric scooter rider captured in this footage has been claimed to be someone else based on DongA Ilbo‘s exclusive report on BTS Suga’s DUI case.
*Note: JTBC has since removed this original video footage from YouTube and replaced it with the new footage released by DongA Ilbo.
On August 13, 2024, almost a week after the initial coverage, Yonhap News aired a newly obtained CCTV footage of the incident.
You can see Suga’s vehicle cruising down the main road. The vehicle ducks out of sight for a moment and stops, falling down.
The new footage also shows the police patrolling the area before they found him.
Moments later, the backup car the patrolling officers called in order to take him to the police station arrived on site.
Suga and BigHit Music have both since released statements on the matter, with Suga apologizing for his actions. He is currently reflecting on himself. You can read more about the incident below.
