BTS' SUGA's defense attorney in DUI incidents is apparently the same lawyer who represented ex-Super Junior member Kangin

BTS' SUGA was recently involved in a drunk driving incident where the legal representative appointed for the case was the same lawyer who represented former Super Junior member Kangin. The K-pop idol was summoned by the police for questioning and the interrogation ended after almost 3 hours.

On August 23, 2024, BTS' SUGA was summoned by the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul for questioning regarding his drinking and driving accident. After three hours of intense questioning, the artist finally left the premises. In addition, the K-pop star apologized for his behavior and vowed never to repeat the mistake again.

However, it was discovered that the lawyer who represented the K-pop star is the same one who represented former Super Junior member Kangin. The lawyer, who is known for specializing in criminal cases in the entertainment industry, previously represented former Super Junior member Kangin in 2016.

Kangin was involved in a drunken driving incident in which he crashed into a street lamp near a convenience store in Sinsa-dong. He was fined KRW 7 million and decided not to appeal the verdict after the first trial.

BTS' SUGA was caught by the authorities while driving an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. The Yongsan Police Station officially charged him with violating the traffic regulations by driving while under the influence of alcohol, revoked his driver's license, and imposed a fine on him. In addition, the artist admitted his wrongdoing and stated that he was ignorant of the law. Nevertheless, he apologized to fans for his irresponsible behavior and promised to improve.

SUGA was drafted into the South Korean Army as a civil servant on September 22, 2023, and will be discharged sometime around 2025. Before his enlistment, he released his debut solo album, which was released on April 21, 2023 under his producer name August D.
