I mean yeah, he should deal with the consequences such a bad decision. But lbr he won't go to jail, he'll just pay the highest fine and disappear into his military service. And it's a bit frustrating that, no matter what happens, HYBE won't ever be affected by stuff like this, or will it?

I just saw the Burning Sun BBC doc (I know, can't compare) and the law in SK is such a joke, especially with powerful people involved.

seungri is doing "burning sun" events in SEA rn allegedly

There you go 😒

I was thinking about making a post for that but I didn't have the stomach this evening to sift through the articles (he denied attending). Maybe tomorrow. :(

0.227% is also what he blew after being found passed out so it was probably closer to a 0.3 while he was driving to right before he collapsed

hybe definitely tried to downplay it at first as did yoongi… didn’t he tell the cop he only had one beer? it’s honestly unbelievable that he could even operate the scooter while he was that drunk - that’s like black out level drunk.

i think they were actively lying because it worked for them before, now that army are going around harassing everyone including making fun of moonbin's death and attacking and k-celeb that drinks, it just makes the whole thing look like a spectacle instead of a serious crime. plus the amount of disinformation they're spreading is nuts.

this company is always lying. but the fans work like a cult so they believe everything they say (even if the lies are exposed later) but from what i read it seems korean fans are pretty upset about this whole thing, its just international fans embarrassing themselves

[anachan87]

i actually saw a tweet about someone condemning korean fans for not taking his side blindly, and how international fans are the only real fans.

Rich people have absolutely no excuse for this. Pay someone to drive your drunk ass around.

[kawaiiairbender]

Especially in South Korea. They have literal services to pick up/drive drunk people

What pisses me off the most about DUIs in SK is the amount of infrastructure available to avoid drunk driving. And yet when you have a the money in the world, you still don't make the right decision.

Fines should be proportional to income. 14k USD is nothing to this man. Make it millions idc. Slap an additional fine on there for lying. Drunk driving makes me livid

[pwrpuffgrl]

Genuine question: since he's in the military, would his income change since he's serving and is a "regular" citizen?

[greasetastic_x]

Kind of? He is still actively making money as a member of BTS. Idk when this changed, but idols are able to pre-record stuff and sell them while in their service. He has done at least one release. [I dont follow them closely enough but I do remember fans salivating over it] his income is likely less that when he was out but he is still definitely making millions.
