BTS’s Suga (real name Min Yoon Gi) summarily indicted by prosecutors

On the 10th, the Seoul Western District Prosecutor’s Office, Criminal Division 2 (led by Chief Prosecutor Chu Hye Yoon), announced that BTS’s Suga had been summarily indicted. Suga is facing charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.

A summary indictment is a process where the court imposes fines or penalties based on written documents rather than holding a formal trial. The exact amount of the fine has not been disclosed.

Suga was discovered by police on August 6th, near his residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, after falling while driving an electric scooter while intoxicated.

He was booked on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act. At the time, Suga’s blood alcohol concentration was measured at 0.227%, significantly exceeding the license revocation threshold of 0.08%.

According to the Road Traffic Act, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2% or higher can result in imprisonment of 2 to 5 years or fines ranging from 10 million to 20 million won (approximately $7,500 to $15,000 in US dollars).
