BTS band member Suga has issued a public apology after being fined for driving an electric scooter under the influence. The K-pop star took to social media to express his remorse for his actions, stating that he was deeply sorry for disappointing his fans.
Suga admitted that he had ridden an electric scooter home after drinking at a dinner, believing it was a short distance and unaware of the legal implications of operating a scooter under the influence. He recounted falling while parking the scooter in front of his house, where he was approached by a police officer and subsequently subjected to a breathalyzer test, resulting in the revocation of his license and a fine.
The 31-year-old singer and rapper emphasized that no one was harmed and no property was damaged during the incident, but acknowledged that he bore full responsibility for his actions. He expressed his apologies to those who were affected by his careless behavior and pledged to exercise greater caution in the future to prevent similar occurrences.
BTS, currently on hiatus as its members fulfill mandatory military service obligations, has been supportive of Suga as he completes his duties as a social service agent. The group's record label, Bighit, also issued an apology on behalf of Suga, expressing regret for the incident and assuring fans that measures would be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to road traffic laws and exercising responsible behavior, even in seemingly minor situations. Suga's public apology and acceptance of consequences demonstrate a commitment to accountability and personal growth, reflecting the values of integrity and humility that BTS strives to embody.
