BTS' SUGA Clears Up DUI Incident: Report Confirms His Claims About Scooter Ride and Fall
BTS’ SUGA, currently fulfilling his military service, has been under scrutiny following a recent DUI incident involving an electric scooter. New developments have clarified the details of the case, showing that SUGA’s account of the events on August 6, 2024, was accurate.
According to a report by South Korea’s DongA Ilbo on August 14, 2024, SUGA did indeed drive a distance of 500 meters on his electric scooter that night, contrary to any earlier doubts about his claims. The report corroborates SUGA’s statement that he had been drinking with acquaintances at his personal studio, which is approximately 500 meters from his residence in Nine One Hannam.
The report also confirms that SUGA fell while attempting to turn towards the entrance of his building. This detail supports his previous assertion that the accident occurred right in front of his house. The new evidence aligns with the BTS rapper’s version of events, addressing any discrepancies that had arisen earlier.
SUGA was initially booked for driving under the influence (DUI) after a breathalyzer test revealed alcohol on his breath. Despite this, the police have noted that they cannot ascertain the exact level of alcohol consumption. Furthermore, it has been reported that SUGA did not request a private summons, and no date has been set for additional investigations.
The rapper is currently serving as a social service worker as part of his compulsory military enlistment. As the case continues to develop, SUGA’s accurate account of the incident provides some clarity to the situation, countering earlier controversies.
In light of these revelations, fans and the public alike are awaiting further updates on both SUGA’s legal standing and his ongoing military service.
