Suga’s note read, “Hi. I’m Suga. I have to come to you with such disappointment and heavy apologies. Last night, after drinking alcohol at dinner, I rode home on an electric kickboard. I violated the road traffic rules, not realizing that I was not allowed to use an electric kickboard while drunk, as I thought it was a short distance away.”
BTS rapper says he was fined, license revoked
The rapper continued, “While setting up my electric scooter at the front door of my home, I got caught alone. A police officer was nearby, and as a result of the Breathalyzer test, my license was revoked, and I was fined. Although no one was harmed or any facilities were damaged during the process, I apologize to everyone because this is my responsibility and there is no room for excuses.”
He concluded his note by writing, “I apologize to all those who were hurt by my careless and wrongful actions, and I will be more careful in my actions to avoid similar incidents in the future.”
BigHit Music also apologized
BTS agency BigHit Music also released a statement. It read, “Hello. This is Big Hit Music. We apologize for the accident involving BTS member Suga’s electric scooter.”
“On Tuesday night (June 6), Suga used an electric scooter wearing a helmet while returning home after drinking alcohol. After traveling approximately 500 meters, he fell while parking, and a sobriety test conducted by nearby police officers resulted in him being given a ticket and license revocation. There were no personal injuries or property damage as a result of the incident, and he returned home under police protection,” it continued.
Suga will face ‘disciplinary action’
“We apologize for the disappointment this artist’s inappropriate behavior has caused many of you. As a social service worker, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against him by his employer for his behavior. We will be more careful in the future to prevent this from happening. Thank you,” the note concluded.
