Police have concluded their investigation into Suga’s drunk driving incident.
On August 7, 2024, Korean media reported that BTS‘s Suga is under investigation by the Yongsan Police Station for allegedly violating traffic laws related to drunk driving on an electric scooter. Electric scooters are subject to traffic regulations similar to those of cars.
Police sources disclosed that Suga was discovered lying on the street alone on the night of August 6, 2024, after riding the electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. A patrolling officer approached and detected the smell of alcohol on him, subsequently escorting him to the nearby police station.
The public condemned Suga for his act, given the severity of drunk driving.
- “There’s so much talk about electric kickboards because they cause so many accidents by themselves, but I can’t believe he was drunk driving one. It’s a relief that an accident didn’t occur.”
- “If you ride one while drunk, doesn’t it warrant your license to be revoked? There was someone around me that got their license revoked for the same reason LOL.”
- “Sigh.”
- “They need to revoke his license for that. He should have drunk in moderation.”
- “It was really funny how he wrote lyrics about the military but ended up in public service. Then now he was found fallen down by himself. HAHAHAHA, the way he always embarrasses himself is legendary.”
- “Shame on his morals.”
- “Yoongi… I was just waiting for next year when the group would be reunited…”
- “Wow.”
According to a report by SE Daily, the fatality rate for e-scooters in traffic accidents is 5.6%, 4.3 times higher than the overall fatality rate.
