BTS member Suga aka Min Yoongi
BTS member Min Yoongi (stage name Suga), has been fined 15 million won (Rs 9.5 lakh) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. A judge at the Seoul Western District Court issued the fine in a summary judgment made last week after his case was referred to the prosecution, a court official said on Monday. This is the same amount the prosecution previously requested on September 11.
He is currently completing his mandatory military service in South Korea. On September 10, it was disclosed that Suga had been summarily indicted and fined by the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Western District Prosecutor’s Office. The figure remained unconfirmed, and he has now received an official sentence, reported Korean news outlets.
