All you need to know about BTS' Suga's DUI case
On August 7, BTS' Suga was charged with DUI for drunk driving an electric scooter. The idol was reported to have driven an electric scooter from his studio to his house, which was approximately 500 meters away, after having a few drinks with his friends. However, no one was hurt during the incident.
Regardless, the idol was seen falling off his bike in front of his house while taking a turn. When a nearby patrol police saw the same, they approached him and took a breathalyzer test. After the result came out positive, he was charged with DUI, and his license was revoked. Following the same, a private investigation began to take place.
On August 23, the idol was investigated for three hours at the Yongsan police station. The case was then moved to the prosecution where the idol was fined ₩15 million. The same sentence was given by the court. Therefore, the idol can choose to pay the fine or request a formal trial.
While many fans have been supportive of the idol amid the DUI case, several netizens have been angered by the same. They expressed that they were not happy with Suga's behavior and were supposedly worried about it affecting BTS' reputation.
Therefore, they've been demanding the removal of Suga from the K-pop boy group. However, several fans have been resisting the same in all possible ways.
