Suga was initially suspected of trying to downplay the incident after drinking alcohol, and there was even CCTV footage of him riding the electric scooter on the sidewalk.
The investigation revealed that the driver had given false explanations, and now suspicions have surfaced that the car did not have license plates and was not insured.
According to the police on the 19th, Suga's summons date for the drunk driving charges will be finalized this week.
In the midst of all this, there have been calls for an investigation into the fact that the scooter Suga was driving while drunk "did not have a license plate attached."
On the same day, a netizen posted on the online community "DC Inside" that he had "formally requested the police to investigate the 'SUGA case.'"
The internet user wrote to the Yongsan Police Station through the National Reporting Center, "We will thoroughly investigate whether motorcycle use is reported (with license plates attached) and whether mandatory insurance is required."
"We strongly urge that a thorough investigation be conducted and that if any illegal activity is confirmed, severe punishment be imposed," the company revealed.
If it is confirmed that Suga's electric scooter is a model that has not been declared as a two-wheeled vehicle, Article 84 (fine) of the Motor Vehicle Management Act, Section 4, 18
In accordance with Article 20 of the Enforcement Decree of the Automobile Management Act (Imposition of Fines), a fine of 500,000 won (approximately 55,000 yen) will be imposed. In addition, if it is confirmed that the driver has not purchased mandatory insurance, the automobile insurance

Previously, on the 6th of this month, at around 11:27 pm, Suga was caught driving a car while walking on the sidewalk near Nine One Hannam in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu.
He was returning home on his scooter when he was found collapsed by police from the riot police unit. The police confirmed that he smelled of alcohol and took him to the nearest police station.
Suga told the police that he had "drank one beer and drove a little," but the results of a breathalyzer test showed that his blood alcohol level was 0.
After his drunk driving incident was revealed, he and the management office HYBE said, "Is it okay to drive an electric mini scooter while drunk?
Drunk driving with an electric scooter does not lead to criminal punishment, but only administrative punishment of license revocation and a 100,000 won (about 1,100 yen) fine.
However, it was revealed that the vehicle SUGA was driving was an electric scooter with a saddle that can reach a maximum speed of 30km per hour.
In such cases, he may be subject to criminal punishment. This has led to suspicions that the management office and Suga were trying to downplay the case.
Since then, CCTV footage has been released of Suga riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk.
The controversy spread further. Initially, Suga had issued an apology stating, "I fell alone while leaning my electric scooter against the main gate of my house," so the controversy over his false explanation began again.
In addition, it was pointed out that the electric scooter he was riding this time did not have a license plate attached.
If the license plate is not attached, the vehicle is considered to have no license plate and no mandatory insurance.
He will be subject to increased punishment due to his joining the group. Meanwhile, Suga has been serving as a social service officer since September last year and is fulfilling his military service obligations, and is scheduled to be discharged in June next year.
According to the Military Manpower Administration, the Suga incident occurred during the social service officer's off-duty hours and will not affect his length of service.
