BTS Suga, aka Min Yoongi, found himself at the centre of a storm, and not the good kind. For weeks now, the streets of K-town have been buzzing with rumours about Suga’s supposed DUI on an electric scooter. It all kicked off when some CCTV footage surfaced, showing a man zooming down the main road like he was auditioning for a Fast & Furious sequel—on a scooter, no less. Naturally, the clip divided the K-pop world, with BTS ARMY going into full detective mode. JTBC newsroom apologised for airing the wrong footage and now another channel - Korea Now, has done the same. BTS’ SUGA Drunk Driving Case: JTBC Newsroom Apologises for Releasing Wrong CCTV Footage; KBS Issues Statement on Channel Ban.

Just when ARMY thought it couldn’t get juicier, another Korean outlet, KOREA NOW, decided to join the party. They admitted to the colossal mistake too. How kind of them to finally set the record straight, after circulating the wrong video for days. On August 19, KOREA NOW posted, “We at KOREA NOW apologize to BTS Suga and viewers for mistakenly linking the star’s e-scooter DUI incident with the wrong CCTV footage.”
