In 2024, Suga was fined 15 million won (Rs 9.5 lakh) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. He is currently completing his mandatory military service in South Korea. The K-pop superstar was investigated for drunk driving an e-scooter on August 6 in central Seoul. His blood alcohol level was 0.227 percent at the time, three times higher than the 0.08 percent for getting one's driver's license revoked. The songwriter and rapper made an apology for the incident, calling it "careless and wrong behaviour".
The BTS debut anniversary was marked with J-hope's encore concert in Goyang. All the members, including RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin, and Suga, were present in the audience to lend support to Hobi as he took over the stage and delivered a power-packed performance. The highlight was his new song Killin' It Girl that went viral in no time, courtesy of his bold dance moves with Alyssa Santos.
