BTS’ SUGA has appeared for police questioning for his DUI charges.

SUGA Appears at Yongsan Police Station

On August 23, SUGA was seen arriving at the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul at approximately 7:45 PM KST. The BTS star had just completed his public service military duties for the day. Facing a crowd of reporters and cameras, SUGA expressed deep remorse for his actions. He stated:

“Firstly, I am very sorry. I’m truly reflecting after disappointing many fans and many people. I will diligently undergo investigations. Once again, I am sorry.”

He then entered the police station.

Details of the DUI Incident

The incident leading to SUGA’s police questioning occurred when he was found by police after falling over on an electric scooter in the Hannam-dong area of Seoul. Authorities quickly discovered that SUGA had been operating the scooter under the influence of alcohol. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that his blood alcohol level was 0.227%, a figure reportedly the highest ever recorded in a celebrity DUI case in South Korea.

Legal Implications and Police Investigation

Under South Korean law, driving an electric scooter while intoxicated is treated the same as driving a car under the influence. Given the severity of the charges and the alarming blood alcohol level, SUGA is expected to face a criminal investigation. The legal ramifications of this incident could be significant, and the outcome of the investigation will be closely monitored by fans and the media alike.

Public and Agency Responses
