Suga’s lies have been exposed once again. On the 13th, Yonhap News TV revealed CCTV footage of Suga's drunk driving incident through an exclusive report titled “BTS’s Suga Drunk and Driving on Sidewalk… Accident Captured on CCTV.”
The CCTV footage shows Suga, on an electric scooter, riding on the sidewalk of a street in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, around 11:10 PM on the 6th. Suga then crashes into a curb and falls over, after which he is found by patrolling police officers and subjected to a breathalyzer test on the scene. His blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.227%, indicating severe intoxication, which is far higher than the standard for revocation of license of 0.08%.
Previously, on the 7th, Suga had posted on the fan community platform Weverse, stating, “After drinking at a dinner party last night, I rode an electric kickboard home. I did not realize that electric kickboards cannot be used under intoxication and violated traffic laws. I fell over while stopping the kickboard in front of my house, and since there were police officers around, they conducted a breathalyzer test, which resulted in license revocation and a fine.”
However, according to CCTV footage released by JTBC on the same day, Suga was riding an electric scooter, not an electric kickboard, on the road in Hannam-dong. Suga, who attempted to downplay the incident by calling the electric scooter a kickboard, was embroiled in another controversy over his lies as the second CCTV showed him undergoing the intoxication test on the sidewalk, not in front of his home.
When discovered by the police, Suga reportedly stated that he “had a beer and drove briefly.”
If his BAC exceeds 0.2%, he will be subject to aggravated punishment. And if he was found guilty, he has the potential to be sentenced to imprisonment from 2 to 5 years or a fine of up to 20 million won.
-He still hasn’t left his group? Just retire already, I’m so sick of this.
-He should retire.
-Is he homeless or what?
-Maybe because of his past scandals, he thinks he can just lie and get away with it.
-OT6
-Pathetic... If he had just apologized honestly from the start, it wouldn’t have been this bad.
-He should just retire; it’s too serious.
-He should have just said he was completely drunk and didn’t remember. Making a half-hearted lie in the apology only leads to more criticism.
-Given that there’s been no action so far, it seems like he’s just going to drag it out and stays in his group.
-Really the worst.
-Typical of HYBE.
-Caught red-handed.
-I didn't realize it was this bad.
-What a funny guy.
-The problem is the lies.
