This has become one of the most overwrought reaction level vis-a-vis the degree of severity for the scandal in quite some time and it’s all due to how famous the star is. When news first broke last week of BTS member Suga and his drunk driving arrest on an electric scooter (moped) and his high BAC level at 0.223% it was clear the boy will need to atone in strict Korean society on being irresponsible and potentially putting others at risk. But this week media camped out at the police station after hearing of his arrival for questioning which turned into a fruitless wait as he did not show because the tip off was wrong. But he did show the next day and was questioned for 3 hours (really?) and faced a throng of media and did the usual dog-and-pony contrite and abject reflection pose. Afterwards the next day he released a handwritten letter of apology to his fans and the public as well. I’m sure he’ll get the punishment level commensurate for this offense and hopefully the media and public can move on after.
