On August 9, 2024 (KST), local news reported that BTS member Suga was involved in a driving under the influence (DUI) incident. The Yongsan Police disclosed that his blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level was 0.227%, significantly exceeding the legal limit. The electric scooter he was operating was classified as a “motorized bicycle,” meaning that Suga will face a criminal investigation similar to that of a DUI involving a car.
Speculations of Suga’s Departure Unfounded, Sources Confirm

“According to multiple sources, Suga is thoroughly reflecting on this issue. Also, given BTS‘s strong team dynamic, extreme measures like his withdrawal from the group are not being discussed.” — Sports Chosun
Reports emphasize that Suga is taking the incident seriously and is deeply introspective. Despite the gravity of the situation, BTS’s internal dynamics remain stable, and the group’s cohesion is not under threat.
BTS’s 2025 Comeback Remains On Track
