DongA Ilbo claims that JTBC’s CCTV footage is false, BTS Suga has told the truth!!
Suga (BTS) is the center of criticism for his drunk driving scandal, even facing the risk of losing his career because of the increasingly serious scandal. The male idol’s blood alcohol concentration was up to 0.227%, the highest among stars who committed similar crimes in Korean showbiz. The BTS member was even “exposed” for a series of evidences of lying about the type of car, distance traveled, and location of the fall. This made many fans disappointed and turned their backs on the male idol.
On August 14, DongA Ilbo suddenly posted information to clarify the Suga scandal, and this was the male idol’s detailed travel schedule. This news site said that the character in the CCTV footage JTBC released earlier to accuse was not Suga. In the CCTV footage released by JTBC, the tram was traveling from Nine One Hannam to Namsan, but in reality, Suga was traveling toward Nine One Hannam.

DongA released a detailed travel itinerary and CCTV footage of Suga falling while turning into his house in the Nine One Hannam area
According to the police, at 9 p.m. on August 6, Suga had a meal and drank with an acquaintance at a restaurant near the Hannam intersection. After that, they continued to a nearby studio to drink. This studio is 500 meters from Suga’s house in the Nine One Hannam area. At 11 p.m., the male idol drove the scooter on the sidewalk, passing a bus stop.
At 11:10 p.m., the male idol passed by three riot police officers patrolling the sidewalk of the Nine One Hannam area in Yongsan District, Seoul. The BTS member lost his balance and fell while turning left into the main gate of Nine One Hannam. His helmet was thrown onto the road. 3 police officers approached Suga and took the male idol to the police station. The test results showed that Suga’s blood alcohol concentration was up to 0.227% – the level that would result in his driver’s license being confiscated.
TV Chosun continued to release CCTV footage from another angle showing Suga falling while turning into Nine One Hannam. From here, it can be seen that the details of “only going 500 meters” and “falling in front of the house” in Suga’s apology letter were completely true. Many fans immediately stood up to defend the male idol, claiming that the BTS member was “tainted” and harmed by the media.
