BTS member Suga fined, ‘deeply sorry’ for driving scooter while drunk
Global News
Suga apologized for his "careless and wrong actions" and said he did not know it was against the law to drive his electric scooter while intoxicated.
Suga, of world-famous K-pop group BTS, had his South Korean driver’s licence revoked after he was caught riding an electric scooter while intoxicated. The singer (real name Min Yoon-gi) issued a public apology on Wednesday and said he was “deeply sorry” to bring the “disappointing news” to his fanbase.
Suga, 31, said he was riding his electric scooter home from a dinner where he’d been drinking alcohol.
“I thought it was a short distance and didn’t realize that you can’t ride an electric scooter while intoxicated, so I violated the road traffic laws,” he wrote in Korean.
He said he “fell over” while parking the scooter in front of his home, located in Seoul. A nearby police officer witnessed the star’s tumble from his e-scooter and had Suga complete a breathalyzer test.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said police revealed Suga’s blood alcohol concentration was at least 0.08 per cent, the legal benchmark for revoking a person’s licence.
Suga admitted to the licensure cancellation and said he also received a fine.
Suga was brought to the Yongsan Police Station for questioning. He was charged with violating the South Korean Road Traffic Act.
