[Sports Chosun Bae Ji-eun Reporter] Shocking drunk driving behavior by BTS member SUGA has been revealed.
On the 13th, Yonhap News TV released CCTV footage of SUGA’s drunk driving accident. In the CCTV footage, SUGA was riding an electric scooter on a sidewalk in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. He crashed into a curb at high speed and fell on the road.
What was more shocking was that there were pedestrians around SUGA. It was a moment that could have led to a fatal accident if he hadn’t hit the curb.
This video has once again exposed SUGA’s lies, provoking anger.
SUGA apologized, saying, “After drinking at a meal, I rode an electric kickboard home. I violated traffic laws by not realizing the short distance and that it was impossible to use an electric kickboard in a drunken state. I fell down while trying to park the kickboard at the gate in front of my house, and the police officer present conducted an alcohol test, resulting in the cancellation of my driver’s license and a fine.”
However, it was revealed that SUGA was riding an electric scooter, not an electric kickboard, he didn’t travel a short distance, there was damaged property, and he was riding the scooter on the sidewalk, not in front of his house. Also, although he claimed to only have had a beer, his actual blood alcohol concentration was 0.227%, significantly exceeding the license cancellation criterion of 0.08%.
Continued exposure of SUGA’s lies is causing division among fans. Some fans are attacking other K-pop artists while supporting SUGA, and some are holding protests demanding SUGA’s withdrawal.
The police are finalizing SUGA’s exact distance traveled and route and coordinating a summon schedule. The police plan to inquire about the exact amount of alcohol consumed and the circumstances.
