Suga arrived at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul at 7:47 p.m. on August 23 (KST). Wearing a white t-shirt and a black suit, Suga said to reporters, “I’m sorry. I sincerely regret that I have disappointed many people. I will cooperate in the investigation sincerely. I apologize again.”
After completing the prepared remarks, he kept silent on the questions from reporters, such as, “Why did you not participate in the investigation immediately after being caught driving under the influence of alcohol?” and entered the police station.
Suga was charged with violating the Road Traffic Act by driving an electric scooter while drunk on the road in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul at 11:15 p.m. on the 6th (KST). At the time, Suga’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.227%, exceeding the 0.08% standard for revocation of his license.
When news of Suga’s case was reported, his agency HYBE posted an apology. However, most of them turned out to be lies, sparking controversy. ▲Sugar’s transportation method was actually a scooter, not a kickboard, and ▲ He was severely drunk, not just by drinking a glass of beer, as stated to the police. ▲ He did not fall while parking at the front door, but he fell by himself while driving on the sidewalk, and ▲ He said that his driver’s license was revoked and a fine was imposed, but the investigation was not concluded and follow-up measures have yet to be taken.
