"A glass of beer? '0.227%' drunk" Suga, caught lying again... Up to 5 years in prison [SC Issue]

[Sports Chosun Reporter Jeong An-ji] BTS' Suga, who was booked on charges of driving an electric scooter while drinking, was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.2% at the time of his arrest.

On the 9th, the Dong-A Ilbo reported that the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul conducted a breathalyzer test on Suga on the 6th while he was booked for drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act, and his blood alcohol level was 0.227%.

At the time, Suga reportedly made a statement along the lines of "I drank a beer and drove for a bit."

According to the current law, if the blood alcohol concentration level is 0.08% or higher, the driver's license is revoked and a prison sentence of 1 to 2 years or a fine of 5 to 10 million won is imposed. However, if the level is over 0.2%, the punishment is increased to 2 to 5 years in prison or a fine of 10 to 20 million won.

Previously, on the 6th, Suga was found fallen over while riding an electric scooter after drinking alcohol. At the time, his blood alcohol level was at a level that would result in his license being revoked (over 0.08%). Accordingly, the police have begun the administrative disposition process to revoke Suga’s license.

Afterwards, the agency and Suga stated, "After drinking at a restaurant, he rode an electric kickboard home and fell over by himself while parking the car." They continued, "As a result of the breathalyzer test, his license was revoked and a fine was imposed."

The agency responded with an additional explanation, saying, "We determined that the product used by the artist was a kickboard with a saddle. During the additional verification process, we realized that the classification may vary depending on the performance and specifications of the product, and the scope of responsibility for the accident may also vary. We had absolutely no intention of downplaying the matter," but criticism poured in.

Meanwhile, Suga has been fulfilling his military service as a social service worker in Seoul since September of last year.

The Social Service Worker Service Management Regulations include in Article 8, Paragraph 3 that 'you must always maintain your attire and appearance in a neat and tidy manner'.

However, this is a regulation that applies when there is a connection to work while on duty, and since Suga's drunk driving occurred outside of working hours, it does not constitute a violation of this regulation, according to the Military Manpower Administration. Accordingly, it seems that there will be no separate disciplinary action or sanctions from the Military Manpower Administration or the service agency other than legal punishment following a police investigation.

Hmm... The investigation results showed that he was drunk.

Netizens will criticize me for lying again
