BigHit Music Releases Official Statement To Address BTS Suga’s Drunk Driving Incident

In the post, a netizen writes that they felt it was suspicious that HYBE would claim Suga had taken his helmet to go drinking.

He took his helmet to go drinking so that he could drive the electric scooter.

Netizens claimed that this must mean that Suga had done this very often and that he must also go out drinking just as much.

• “Then does that mean he took his helmet to go drinking? That’s even worse. I think people who drive drunk are future murderers.”
• “You’re right. If he took his helmet, doesn’t that mean he planned this?”
• “He’s just lucky he hasn’t hit or killed anyone yet.”
• “He’s a repeat offender.”
• “He said he didn’t know it was wrong to drive the scooters while drunk. I wonder how many times he unknowningly did that.”
• “He must have done this often.”
• “It’s so funny that he took his helmet so that he doesn’t die (when he could kill someone else in an accident).”
• “He should’ve walked home or called a cab. Why did he ride the kickboard?”

• “There are instances where there are helmets on the electric scooters, but he’s only claiming that there were no victims. That still makes you an attempted murderer and an alcoholic idol.”
• “It’s a relief that he didn’t hit anybody.”
• “We don’t want your excuses. Leave BTS.”
• “He’s the only one riding a helmet while driving drunk, lol. Whether it was on a sidewalk or on the street, isn’t he lawless?”
• “He must’ve drank alcohol and rode his scooter every day.”
• “I didn’t leave any comments but what is he saying…”
• “He meticulously drove drunk every day, lol.”
• “If he is going to wear his helmet, why did he drive drunk? It’s his DUI that is the issue. Anyways, there needs to be strict punishment for those driving drunk, including politicians.”

Meanwhile, in South Korea, electric kickboards are only available to rent with a license and drivers are bound to many of the same traffic laws as other motor vehicles. According to a report by SE Daily, E-scooters’ fatality rate for traffic accidents is 5.6%, 4.3 times higher than the overall traffic accident fatality rate.
