On August 23, police revealed that the BTS member will appear at Seoul’s Yongsan Police Station in the afternoon after finishing his military duties as a public service worker. Today, while facing the reporters, SUGA apologized for disappointing his fans.
For the unversed, the first reports about SUGA’s DUI incident emerged on August 7. It was reported that on the night of August 6, he was seen riding an electric scooter and fell in front of his house. When a nearby patrolling officer went to assist him, he noticed a trace of alcohol in his smell.
He then participated in a breathalyzer test and was taken to the local police station. After a brief statement, he was escorted back to home.
But the matter became worse, when reports emerged suggesting his blood alcohol content was around 0.227% at the time of the incident, which is at least seven times higher than the legal limit in South Korea. Although, police never confirmed the exact figure, the K-pop idol got embroiled in a DUI controversy.
Meanwhile, CCTV footage from the street was released a few days later, delivering a glimpse into the incident.
