BTS member Suga has been fined 15 million won (approximately $11,300) for driving an electric scooter under the influence of alcohol. This decision came from Judge Lee Yoo-seop of the Seoul Western District Court's Summary Division, who issued a summary order on September 27. The fine corresponds to the amount sought by prosecutors, as Suga navigates the legal repercussions of the incident without a formal trial.
The incident occurred on August 6, 2024, when Suga was found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level exceeding the legal limit while riding his scooter in Hannam-dong. Following the event, he expressed remorse and apologized for his actions, emphasizing his commitment to learning from this experience.
Despite this setback, Suga remains focused on his duties as a social service agent during his military service, which he began on September 22, 2023. His dedication to philanthropy and mental health advocacy continues to define his public persona. Notably, he has made significant donations to various causes, including support for children with cancer and disaster relief efforts.
Overall, Suga is handling the situation and has assured fans that he is okay. As he continues to fulfill his military obligations, he is committed to using his platform for positive change and supporting important social issues.
