According to South Korean media, the police are preparing to summon BTS member Suga for questioning regarding the allegations of driving an electric vehicle while intoxicated.
On August 11, sources from the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul confirmed the official plan to summon Suga, scheduling the date for his appearance. They believe that an investigation into the details surrounding the incident and the amount of alcohol he consumed is necessary.
Thus, the incident of Suga driving an electric vehicle while intoxicated is becoming more serious. The male idol is facing various forms of punishment, and he may even have to serve time in prison.
Earlier, on the evening of August 6, Suga was reportedly thrown off an electric vehicle near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu. A patrolling police officer discovered him and conducted a breath test to check his blood alcohol content, which showed a level of 0.227%, far exceeding the 0.08% threshold for revoking his driving license.
At that time, the police did not recognize Suga as a member of BTS. Due to the male idol's state of intoxication, they were unable to conduct a thorough investigation, limiting their actions to only checking his blood alcohol content before releasing him back home. As a result, the police are currently planning to summon Suga for further questioning and to obtain a formal statement.
Suga began his mandatory military service in March last year at the Nonsan Training Center in South Chungcheong Province for basic training. He is currently serving as a social service personnel, with his discharge date scheduled for June 2025.
