Here are the key highlights from the recent events involving BTS:
• SUGA's Incident: On August 6, SUGA was found intoxicated while riding an electric scooter, leading to his arrest after a breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. He has apologized, citing ignorance of the strict South Korean traffic laws for electric scooters.
• RM's Instagram Post: In response to the controversy surrounding SUGA, RM deleted a recent Instagram post promoting his solo album, "Right Place, Wrong Person." The decision came amid intense media scrutiny.
• Military Service: RM is currently serving his mandatory military service at a social service post in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do. He works from 9 AM to 6 PM and then returns home.
On August 6, SUGA was involved in a serious situation when he was found intoxicated while riding an electric scooter. The incident occurred as he was returning home, and he was subsequently stopped by police after falling from the scooter. A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol level was above the legal limit for operating a vehicle, leading to a police investigation.
SUGA has since issued a personal apology, explaining that he was unaware of the stringent traffic regulations for electric scooters in South Korea, which are akin to those for cars. The rapper's admission underscores the strict nature of South Korean traffic laws, which require scooter operators to be licensed and follow closely monitored regulations.
In response to the unfolding situation, RM, who is currently serving his mandatory military service, deleted a recent Instagram post promoting his solo album. The post, which was a reshare from fellow album producer JNKRYD, was removed amid the ongoing media scrutiny of SUGA's case. Fans have defended RM’s actions, suggesting that he may not have been fully informed about SUGA's situation while he is stationed at his military post.
As of now, all BTS members, except Jin who was discharged earlier this year, are fulfilling their military duties. RM is currently stationed at a social service post in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do, and works from 9 AM to 6 PM, returning home after daily duties.
The incident highlights the importance of adhering to traffic laws, even for non-motorized vehicles like electric scooters. As SUGA faces the consequences of his actions, BTS fans continue to show support for the group and its members during this challenging time.
