Penning the apology, the BTS sensation wrote, “Hello. This is Suga. It is with a very heavy and apologetic heart that I have to come to you with such disappointment. After drinking at dinner last night, I rode home on an electric kickboard. I violated road traffic laws without realising that I was not allowed to use an electric kickboard while drunk due to the simple thought that it was a short distance away.”
After detailing the incident and taking responsibility for his actions, the BTS member apologised writing, “I apologise to everyone who was hurt by my careless and wrong actions, and I will be more careful in my actions to avoid such incidents in the future.”
BTS label BigHit Music also apologised for the band member’s carelessness stating that, as a social service agent during his military service, Suga is ready to accept any disciplinary actions from his place of work for causing a social disturbance. They assured that they will take greater care to ensure that such an incident does not repeat itself in the future.
