BTS’s Suga’s DUI Scooter Case Ends With Summary Order
BTS member Suga (real name Min Yoon Gi, 31) has been fined for riding an electric scooter while heavily intoxicated.
Recently, the Seoul Western District Court issued a summary order, fining Suga 15 million won (approximately USD 11,200) for violating the Road Traffic Act, specifically for driving under the influence (DUI).
The case was handled as a summary order, a legal procedure for less severe offenses where only written submissions are reviewed without a formal court trial. If Suga disagrees with the decision, he has seven days from the issuance of the order to request a formal trial.
Previously, it was reported that on the night of August 6th, Suga had fallen while driving a personal mobility device under the influence of alcohol, resulting in his license being revoked for having a blood alcohol concentration of over 0.08%. Big Hit issued an apology confirming the news and Suga later issued a public apology too, expressing deep regret and taking full responsibility for his actions.
However, due to several inconsistencies in Big Hit’s statement, the agency had to issue a correction and a 2nd apology. And Suga also ended up issuing a 2nd apology later on.
