After the police verified that the video was not of the BTS star, the news channel that had put out the video issued an apology, stating, "Our newsroom reported about BTS member Suga's DUI on August 7. In the first portion of our report, we showed CCTV footage of an electric scooter passing by the main road. It was later confirmed through police investigations that the male in the video was not SUGA.
We are sorry for causing confusion." In a statement to Starnews, the popular South Korean broadcast company mentioned the possibility of Suga facing a ban. The company shared that the ongoing military service will play a major role in making a decision.
KBS stated that considering Suga's case is still under police investigation, there is a need to wait before making a final decision..
