K-pop fans were alarmed and triggered by some K-media outlets when they found out that their beloved Suga from the global phenomenon BTS came under investigation due to a DUI incident. New footage has been released and we are here to share it! Read on to find out the truth!
K-media outlet DongA Ilbo has been credited with releasing the latest footage of Suga's DUI accident. The footage shows the K-pop star losing balance and falling over while manning an electric scooter. The new footage went viral as fans reacted to the clip.
The CCTV footage obtained by DongA Ilbo showed the K-pop star at 11:10 PM on Sunday passing by three police officers patrolling the sidewalk near Nainon Hannam in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and fell while turning left in front of the main gate of Nainon Hannam.
The police approached Suga, who was picking up his helmet, and tried to help him. In the process, they confirmed that Suga was operating the electric scooter under the influence and conducted a breathalyzer test. The results showed that the star's blood alcohol level was 0.227 percent, which is the level at which they can revoke his driver's license.
According to the police, Suga had a drink with acquaintances at a restaurant near Hannam Ogeori around 9 p.m. on the day of the incident and then moved to a private studio together to drink. He returned home around 11 p.m. on his electric scooter. The studio was found to be about 500 meters away from Nine One South.
DongA Ilbo shed light about some inaccurate broadcasts of some K-news outlets as it turned out that "Suga was not the one in the video riding an electric scooter on the road"! In the video, the electric scooter is running from across the street from Nine-in-One South toward Namsan, but Suga returned to the sidewalk toward Nine-in-One South, and the route was different. The report that Suga hit the boundary stone and fell was also found to be untrue.
Fans were outraged once they found out this happened. K-pop fans pleaded to JTBC, a Korean news outlet, to apologize to Suga on Twitter (X).
