Fans and critics are eager to know when BTS SUGA will appear before police in a drunk driving probe.
It was first revealed on August 11 that the 31-year-old rapper, whose real name is Min Yoongi, will be summoned by police for the first round of questioning.
This week, police will finalize the schedule for SUGA to appear for questioning regarding his recent drunk driving incident involving an electric scooter.
According to a police official on August 19, the investigation will thoroughly examine various suspicions and circumstances surrounding the case.
Police clarified that he would be treated like any other suspect, without any special treatment.
The police investigation into the drunk driving incident will also examine whether his agency, HYBE, and SUGA himself attempted to downplay the incident. The police official stated, ‘If Hybe tried to minimize the incident, we will investigate.’
Authorities will examine whether the use of misleading terms, such as ‘electric kickboard’ and ‘fell over while parking,’ constitutes a deliberate cover-up.
