BTS' Suga Makes Another Apology To ARMY For His Recent Drunken Scooter Incident In A Manuscript note posted on Weverse on Sunday (August 25). According to a translation of the post, 31-year-old Suga said, “I would like to apologize again in shame. I deeply apologize for the disappointment and hurt caused by my bad behavior to my fans and everyone who loves me.
I made a big mistake, I forgot the responsibility to repay you with deeds worthy of the love I have received.
He went on to describe the night in question (August 6), saying he made the mistake of driving an electric scooter after drinking and apologized for the “confusion” caused by his first, “hastily posted” apology the day after the incident. “I should have thought more deeply and been careful, but I failed,” he wrote.
“It's my fault. My carelessness makes it difficult for everyone who cares about me. I will try not to do anything bad again and I will live with repentance,” he added. “Because of this incident, I have greatly destroyed the precious memories I made with the members and fans, and it has put a lot of pressure on BTS's name. I'm so sorry and hurt that it's hard to express because it hurts the members and the team. I am sorry that the members who have always trusted me are having a hard time because of me. And I know the disappointment that the fans must have felt who supported me and supported me.”
The rapper had his license suspended after police said he was operating the sit-on electric scooter while impaired in the Yongsan district of central Seoul, with a blood alcohol content above the 0.08 level that causes a license to be revoked. At the time, Suga said he didn't realize he couldn't ride the scooter while drunk, explaining that he felt comfortable making the trip because it was close to his apartment. According to Suga's original account, he crashed while trying to ride the electric kickboard, which was noticed by the police, leading to a breathalyzer.
BTS' label BigHit also shared a pair of statements on Weverse at the time, noting that Suga was wearing a helmet and had only traveled about 500 meters before falling while parking the scooter.
In the new statement, Suga also apologized to ARMY for letting them down. “I'm sorry for the fans who have always given me a lot of love… I know it's hard to heal the hurts and disappointments my fans have received with any words, so I deeply regret it and think about it with a heavy heart every day,” he said. . “Once again, I sincerely apologize to the fans who were hurt by me. We will accept criticism and rebuke as well as future dispositions. Finally, once again, I sincerely apologize for causing social unrest and disappointing many people.”
At press time, it did not appear that South Korean police had yet issued an official sanction to the BTS member over the incident, although Korean media reported that “admissible” on the alleged DUI during a three-hour police interrogation last week.
