At a regular press briefing that day, a police official said, "We will conduct a detailed investigation into various suspicions and circumstances," adding, "We are coordinating the schedule."

The police explained regarding the photo line, "It will be handled under the same standards as other suspects," and added, "It cannot be deliberately arranged, but if reporters are present in front, coverage will occur."

On the 6th, Suga fell while riding an electric scooter near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, and a patrol officer nearby conducted a breathalyzer test, which confirmed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.227%, exceeding the license cancellation threshold (0.08% or higher).

At that time, the police did not recognize that Suga was a BTS member, and since he was heavily intoxicated, they only conducted the breathalyzer test without a proper investigation and allowed him to go home.
