BTS' Suga Fined $11,500 for Drunk Driving on Electric Scooter

The K-pop star faces backlash and licence revocation after admitting to riding an e-scooter while intoxicated.

A Seoul court fined Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, 15 million won ($11,500) for riding an electric scooter while drunk.
Suga's blood alcohol level was 0.227%, nearly three times the legal limit, when he was found by police after falling off his scooter.
The incident occurred in August, leading to Suga's driving licence being revoked and a public apology from the BTS member.
Fans and critics reacted strongly, with some demanding his departure from BTS, while others showed support.
Suga, currently fulfilling his mandatory military service as a social worker, has expressed deep regret and vowed to avoid such behavior in the future.
