BTS Suga has finally received his sentence after facing two months of intense media scrutiny and unwavering support from fans following his DUI incident in August. The K-pop rapper has been fined 15 million won for operating an electric scooter while under the influence. This ruling, confirmed by sources on Monday (September 30), allows him to breathe a little easier as he moves forward without additional complications. On September 10, it was revealed that Suga had been indicted and fined by the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Western District Prosecutor’s Office. While media outlets reported on the fine, the amount had yet to be officially confirmed until now. The Seoul Court has issued a summary order, imposing a fine of KRW 15 million (approximately INR 9,59,146.35 / USD 11,200) for his actions on August 6. This fine aligns with the prosecution's previous request, highlighting the seriousness of the situation while still categorising it as less severe. BTS Suga DUI Case: Min Yoongi Faces Three-Hour Interrogation at Yongsan Police Station Over Drunk Driving Incident (Watch Video).

Typically, a summary order is reserved for minor offences. Should Suga choose to appeal the ruling, he has a seven-day window to request a formal trial. Nevertheless, the rapper, whose real name is Min Yoongi, has already addressed the incident publicly. After making appearances at the police station and issuing a heartfelt apology, he has taken the necessary steps to demonstrate accountability. At the time of the incident, his blood alcohol level was reported to be 0.227%, a concerning figure that has understandably drawn significant attention. BTS Suga DUI Case: K-Pop Rapper Fined for Drunk Driving, Summary Indictment Issued by Seoul Prosecutors.
