SUGA travelling to Hannam Nine-One
The new video released revealed SUGA travelling towards Hannam Nine-One which is his way back home. On the other hand, in the previous video, the person can be seen going in the wrong direction. This puts into question if the person in the previous CCTV footage was really SUGA. The rapper and producer fell while he was attempting to turn left and was found by three policemen. The new video gives a clearer picture of the whole situation.

SUGA's blood alcohol level tested on street proved to be wrong
Earlier it was reported that the police tested for his blood alcohol level on the street and not in front of his house. This report went against what the BTS member has been claiming.
According to the police, SUGA was drinking till 9 and then went to his studio to drink some more till about 11 and drove towards Nine One Hannam.
In South Korea, traffic rules for electric scooters are similar to those for cars. Only people with a license can rent electric scooters and their movement is also strictly monitored.
SUGA is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service. He entered the training centre in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do in March 2023 to receive basic military training and is currently a social service worker. Personnel at this post work from 9 am to 6 pm and can return home after the day's work. SUGA is scheduled to be discharged next June.
BTS' RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook are also fulfilling their mandatory military service. Jin was discharged earlier this June and he also participated in BTS' 11th anniversary activities.
SUGA is the rapper and producer of the globally recognized group BTS. They celebrated their 11th debut anniversary earlier this June. Over the years, BTS have impacted and entertained fans through their music and content. While the group initially had a hard time earning fame and success as they belonged to a small company, they have now become a global brand. They are known for their meaningful lyrics, catchy music, energetic performances and thematic music videos. Blood, Sweat and Tears, Dynamite, Butter and ON are some of their hit tracks.
