The incident, which occurred on August 6, 2024, involved SUGA returning home after a night of drinking with friends at his personal studio. The studio, located approximately 500 meters from his residence in Nine One Hannam, was where SUGA had consumed alcohol. The report confirms that his journey on the electric scooter, which ended with him falling in front of his house, aligns with his initial statements.
When officers responded to the scene, they detected alcohol on SUGA's breath, leading to his arrest and subsequent breathalyzer test. While the test confirmed the presence of alcohol, the police have yet to disclose the exact amount. SUGA was not found to have requested a private summons, and the investigation is still ongoing, with no date set for further proceedings.
As SUGA continues his mandatory military service as a social service worker, this report helps clarify the details surrounding the incident, affirming his previous statements and addressing public speculation.
