On the 9th, according to the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul, South Korea, Suga was charged with drunk driving on the 6th under the Road Traffic Act, and a breath test revealed that his blood alcohol content was 0.22.
At the time, Suga said he had "just had one beer," but he was actually completely drunk. If the blood alcohol level exceeds 0.2%, the sentence becomes even heavier.
Under current law, if a driver is caught drunk driving an electric scooter and their blood alcohol content is between 0.08% and 0.2%, they are subject to imprisonment of between one and two years or a fine of 5 million to 10 million won (approximately 10,000,000 yen).
On the other hand, if the blood alcohol content is 0.2% or higher, the person will be sentenced to 2 to 5 years in prison or 10 to 20 million won (approximately 108 to 200,000 yen).
A fine of 160,000 yen will be imposed. It has been revealed that the police have not yet taken administrative action to revoke Suga's license. His blood alcohol content at the time of his drunk driving arrest was 0.08%.
In the above cases, the driver's license will be revoked. After that, the driver will not be able to re-obtain the license for one year. In addition, SUGA said that he was riding an "electric scooter" when he was arrested for drunk driving, but
Drunk driving is subject to administrative punishment for electric kickboards and criminal punishment for electric scooters.
A police official said, "Electric scooters are subject to fines, but the vehicle Suga was driving is not recognized as a scooter, and he is driving a regular car or motorcycle and is subject to fines.
"This will be similar to what we have done in the past," he said, adding, "Administrative measures regarding licenses will also be taken."
