SEOUL, South Korea (CelebrityAccess) — Suga, a member of the K-pop group BTS was arrested for driving his electric vehicle while intoxicated.
According to the Associated Press, Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, was arrested on Tuesday night while driving an “electric kickboard” after allegedly falling over while trying to park.
A police officer noticed the spill and administered a breathalyzer test, which Suga reportedly did not pass. As a result, his license was revoked and he was hit with a fine, the AP said, citing a statement from Big Hit Records.
There appears to be some confusion over the nature of the vehicle Suga was alleged to be operating. While an electric kickboard typically refers to an electric vehicle that lacks a seat, police told local media that Suga’s vehicle had a seat and resembled a scooter, which can change the nature of penalty for the traffic offense.
It is unclear if police have begun the investigation process.
Suga later took to Hybe’s Weverse fan platform to apologize for the incident, stating that he was operating the vehicle after consuming alcohol at dinner.
