For those waiting for an update on the BTS Suga DUI drunk driving case, Dispatch has finally delivered the latest development from the prosecutors’ office. And after all the drama and controversy, did you expect this kind of result from the DUI case involving BTS Suga? Let’s dive deeper into Dispatch’s update, and let us give you a detailed explanation of what it actually means.
Latest Update on BTS Suga DUI Drunk Driving Case from the Prosecutors’ Office
BTS rapper-producer Suga has been through a lot of drama and controversies since the first day of her DUI drunk driving scandal report.
With the unexpected false CCTV video footage from not only one but two major Korean news companies, the BTS rapper must endure all the unfair backlash and criticism. Instead of focusing on the irresponsible mistake he actually made, the DUI scooter case, these media outlets manipulated international media and public opinion, which then caused them to face imminent consequences.
Today, after all the drama and false accusations, Korean media Dispatch finally delivered the latest update from the prosecutors’ office for the BTS Suga DUI drunk driving case.
On September 10, Korean media outlet Dispatch reported that the prosecutor’s office had decided on a summary indictment on BTS Suga for charges of violating the Road Traffic Act due to drunk driving. This update came from the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office (headed by Chief Prosecutor Choo Hye Yoon).
“The prosecutors’ office has summarily indicted Suga.”

Did You Expect This Result After All the Drama and Controversy?
So, what does it mean by “summarily indicted”?
According to Dispatch, a summary indictment is when the prosecution decides to ask the judge to handle the case with just paperwork. With this update, it basically means that BTS Suga will not be facing an official full court trial for his DUI drunk driving case.
The summary indictment is usually applied for less serious crimes. Therefore, it means that the prosecutors’ office believes that the case involving BTS Suga was not really serious as the public believes. The punishment that follows usually involves a fine or penalty.
Therefore, while BTS Suga won’t have to go to court, he will still face punishment in the form of a fine. However, the prosecutors did not reveal how much BTS Suga has to pay.
Meanwhile, according to the Road Traffic Act in South Korea, a person driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2% or more will face imprisonment for no less than two years and no more than five years. Also, they may have to pay a fine between 10 million and 20 million KRW (about 7,500 to 15,000 USD).
