”Punishment for drinking on electric scooters should be strengthened” ... SUGA (BTS) ”appears in court today” incident → Prevention law proposed

Recently, BTS member SUGA was caught driving an electric scooter while drunk, sparking controversy and raising concerns about electric kickboards and scooters.
On the 22nd, according to the Korean National Assembly and other sources, Im Ho-sung, a member of the Democratic Party, said that he would be taking measures to prevent the use of personal mobility devices (PMs) such as electric scooters.
He recently sponsored a bill to amend the Road Traffic Act to make drunk driving in public the same punishment as drunk driving of automobiles.
Currently, if you are caught drunk driving in a PM, you will be fined up to 200,000 won (about 20,000 yen) or detained.
The minimum punishment for drunk driving is up to one year in prison or a fine of up to 5 million won, depending on the blood alcohol concentration, and the maximum is up to two to five years in prison or
Lim said that under the current law, the punishment for the PM's drunk driving is light compared to the seriousness of the offense.
Lim made this remark in consideration of the fact that the number of drunk driving arrests is on the rise and the higher the blood alcohol level, the higher the criminal punishment will be.
In September of last year, he also proposed a revision bill to strengthen safety regulations for personal mobility devices.
He was the lead sponsor of a bill to amend the Road Traffic Act, which would make it mandatory to check a driver's license when renting an M and impose a fine of up to 5 million won for any violation of this rule.
Anyone with a driver's license or higher is allowed to drive one, but issues have been raised over children and teenagers without licenses driving through sharing platforms.
In the midst of all this, Suga's drunk driving has been the subject of constant controversy, and attention is focused on the police investigation schedule.
It was reported that he would be appearing at Yongsan Police Station, and many reporters gathered, but this was not true and it was revealed that the schedule is still being adjusted.
Attention is focused on Suga's comments to see if he will clarify his position on these still-controversial points.
Suga, who is currently serving as a social service worker, was in Hannam, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the night of the 6th.
He was drunk and fell down on the road in Hannam-dong while riding an electric scooter. He was rescued by a passing policeman and arrested for drunk driving. His blood alcohol level was 0.227%, and he was unable to get his driver's license.
He was in a state of drunkenness that exceeded the 0.08% deletion standard.
