Suga aka Min Yoongi has been fined 15 million won (approximately USD 11,000) for driving under the influence (DUI). 

The penalty comes after the Haeguem rapper was involved in a drunk driving incident on August 6.

On September 10, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office’s 2nd Criminal Division, led by Chief Prosecutor Chu Hye Yoon, indicted BTS member Suga with a summary indictment, seeking a fine of 15 million won for violating the Road Traffic Act by driving under the influence. 

The summary indictment procedural route allows the prosecution to request a penalty without a formal trial, relying solely on written evidence.

Under the Road Traffic Act, drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher face penalties, including license revocation, imprisonment for 1-2 years, or a fine of 5-10 million won. 

If the BAC exceeds 0.2%, the penalties intensify, with imprisonment ranging from 2-5 years or a fine of 10-20 million won.

On the night of August 6, Suga was caught by three police officers after losing balance and falling off an e-scooter while intoxicated near his residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. He was subsequently charged with violating the Road Traffic Act, with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.227%.

He was summoned by the police for questioning on August 23 and later his DUI case was forwarded to prosecution.
