It has been revealed that SUGA, a member of BTS who was arrested for drunk driving, was riding an electric scooter, not an electric kickboard.
According to media reports on the 8th, the scooter SUGA was riding on was manufactured by E Co., can reach a maximum speed of 30km/h, and is a folding scooter with a non-detachable saddle.
Under current law, if the maximum speed is less than 25 kilometers per hour, it is classified as an electric scooter, a type of personal mobility device, and the model Suga was riding on has a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
It is understood that the scooter is a mini electric scooter that can reach speeds of up to 300 km. The punishment is expected to change accordingly. As Suga's side initially stated, if he is caught drunk driving an electric scooter,
Depending on the blood alcohol level, drivers may only have their license suspended or revoked and pay a fine, but in the case of electric scooters, they may face criminal penalties that could result in a criminal record.
Singer Suga, who is currently serving his alternative military service as a community service officer, was caught drunk and using an electric scooter on the street in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the night of the 6th.
He was found alone on his bike when he fell over. When a police officer who happened to be passing by went to help him, he smelled alcohol and took a breathalyzer test. His blood alcohol level was so high that he was found to have his license revoked.
In response, Suga and Big Hit admitted that they had been driving under the influence of alcohol and apologized.
The circumstances of the incident came to light when it became clear that the men were driving electric scooters, despite the fact that they had not been aware that they could not use the Big
Hit apologized a second time, saying, "We made the statement hastily without thoroughly checking the matter. We had no intention of downsizing." However, the repercussions continue on the third day of the debate.
The explanation that the saddle was confirmed to be in a certain form through security cameras, that Suga was driving on the road, and that he did not know that he should not ride while drunk makes sense.
The criticism continues due to some points that are hard to understand. Fans are also divided. While some fans are defending SUGA, there are also many voices of betrayal and disappointment.
It seems that the red light has been lit for the full group activities of "BTS". Attention is focused on how the situation will turn out in the future.
