BTS' SUGA has appeared for police questioning for his DUI charges.

After confusion concerning his questioning date, SUGA appeared at the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on August 23 at 7:45PM KST after completing his public service military duties for the day. Upon facing media, the BTS member expressed, "Firstly, I am very sorry. I'm truly reflecting after disappointing many fans and many people. I will diligently undergo investigations. Once again, I am sorry." He then entered the police station.

As previously reported, SUGA was found by police after falling over on an electric scooter in the Hannam-dong area of Seoul. After police discerned the star was drinking and driving, he was brought to a police station, where he was tested to have an alcohol blood level of 0.227%. The percentage is reportedly the highest found in a celebrity DUI incident. Police have stated he will face a criminal investigation for operating an electric scooter drunk, which is considered the same as operating a car under South Korean law. SUGA and BIGHIT MUSIC have since released formal apologies.
