Suga, a member of the K-pop supergroup BTS, faces a potential prison sentence or a hefty fine after a breathalyser test revealed he was over the blood-alcohol limit when he reportedly fell off his e-scooter in Seoul last week. Suga, who along with other members of the band has taken a break from music to perform compulsory national service, was found lying on the ground in the Yongsan district of Seoul on 6 August after an apparent accident, South Korean media reported. A breathalyser test conducted on the day of the accident revealed his blood-alcohol concentration was 0.227%, significantly higher than the 0.08% level that warrants the revocation of a driving licence, the Yonhap news agency said, citing police sources.
