He’s very lucky no one was hurt and I hope he is sincere in his apology and won’t make a bad choice like this again.

As someone else said in the comments, he was not being honest words and how the event happened

I don't really drink that much anymore but there really needs to be a serious cultural conversation about alcohol in society. I love wine etc but like, people have normalized certain behaviors centered around being drunk and like, drunk driving (even with one drink) is just so so irresponsible. I do think gen Z is becoming kinda anti alcohol. Seems like alcohol will be millennials "cigarettes" and weed will be that for gen z

I think we need a conversation about driving impaired in general tbh. I know wayyy too many people who claim they would "never!!!" drive drunk, despite regularly driving while under the influence of other party drugs. Blows my mind and does not help my fear of driving one bit lol.

little meow meow strikes again: doesn't know driving an electric scooter in a high traffic 10 lane road while drunk would be illegal, doesn't know where he lives, doesn't know what a scooter is despite being in public service because he was in an accident on a scooter, doesnt know how much he drank, doesnt know how far he drove, doesnt even know whether his case is closed or not

can't wait to hear about him screaming "fuck the cops and haters" on his next record after he got it out the daegu mud

“got it out the daegu mud” made me scream a bit

[iznanassi]

i was gonna say he'll do a 'police brutality' concept but in more detail but i dont want the hybe snipers getting any ideas

I also want everybody to know that Big Hit and Suga were not honest until cops released the CCTV footage. You can see him on an electric scooter zooming right by a high traffic area with cars zooming by him as well. The footage actually gave me anxiety seeing how close he was to cars and knowing he was very drunk.

with how big the road was and how fast he was going its genuinely a miracle no one was hurt, a couple of elderly people were killed in a park after getting hit (or i think maybe just the wife died). i cannot believe its FANS who are joking about this. he could've died. he's been in an accident on such a vehicle before. it's bafflingly parasocial.

God that's so stupid of him. Especially that he had that scooter/motorbike accident, right?

[mzgrottesca]

Yes. The entire reason he's serving a special (easier) enlistment right now is because of a motorbike injury that severely injured his shoulder. That's why he's currently free to live on his own and get into controversies like this rather than serving active duty.

He deserves to get in trouble. He's not 18 anymore and he's doing his military service.
I know drinking culture is different in South Korea but it was weird to see him hangover af every morning during In The Soop. They were in "vacation" and all that but to drink that much every day and then drink a lot of iced coffee to get over the hangover was something else. That's why I can't watch kdramas (well that and the overacting), the drinking during the week is weird.
