Previously, on September 30, the Seoul Western District Court issued a fine of 15 million won (about 300 million VND) to Suga for violating the Road Traffic Law.
Accordingly, Suga BTS was fined without trial due to the relatively minor violation. If Suga BTS does not object to the ruling within a week, the fine will take effect.
Before this punishment for BTS' Suga, many audiences had mixed opinions.
Accordingly, many people agree with the fine because they think that BTS Suga violated the law for the first time. However, many people also think that this fine is too light for male idol Suga.
"A fine of 15 million won means you avoided jail time. Stay away from alcohol and never lie again," one viewer commented.
"Isn't the fine higher than what first-time offenders usually get?" - another viewer commented.
Many viewers believe that with this fine, BTS Suga will lose more than just the fine. His reputation and career will be greatly affected.
However, there are also opposing opinions because they think: "Suga should be fined more because he is a public figure", or "Is 15 million won considered money to Suga? It's just the singer's pocket change".
An audience member compared: "With the amount of money Suga earns, the fine is like buying a lollipop."
Suga was previously caught driving a tram while drunk on August 6. At around 11:15 p.m., he reportedly fell off the tram and police confirmed that he was drunk. His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.227 percent, significantly higher than the legal limit of 0.08 percent for license revocation.
