BTS Suga, aka Min Yoongi, has penned down a long note to apologize for his involvement in a drink-and-drive incident. Suga took to Weverse on Wednesday morning and penned down a long apology note stating that he was drunk when he was returning home on his electric scooter.


In his note, he stated that he violated traffic laws, and after the police officer caught him and did a breathalyzer test, his license was revoked and he was fined. Suga, in his note, shared (as translated by a fan account on X), "Hello, this is Suga. It is with a heavy, sorry heart that I come to you in light of a shameful incident. Last night, after having a meal that was accompanied by drinks, I rode an electric scooter to return home. I was being too lax, since I only had a short way to go, and I didn't recognise the fact that I shouldn't be riding an electric scooter while inebriated. As a result, I violated road transport regulations."


While talking about his license being revoked, Suga wrote, "In the process of parking my scooter in front of my door, I ended up falling. A police officer was nearby and administered a blood alcohol test. This led to my driver's license being terminated and a fine being imposed. While no one was harmed and no property was damaged, I have no excuse for what happened and take full responsibility."


In conclusion, Suga apologized for his carelessness and wrong actions and said, "I bow my head and give everyone my deepest apologies. I apologise to everyone affected by my poor, careless behaviour, and will be extremely mindful of my actions in the future so as to avoid such incidents happening again."

BigHit Music's comment on the Incident

BTS agency BigHit Music also issued a statement. It read, “Hello. This is BigHit Music. We apologize for the accident involving BTS member Suga's electric scooter."

They further wrote, "On Tuesday night (June 6), Suga used an electric scooter while wearing a helmet while returning home after drinking alcohol. After travelling about 500 meters, he fell while parking and was given a ticket and license revocation as a result of a sobriety test by police officers who were nearby. The incident did not result in any personal injury or property damage, and he returned home under police escort."

In conclusion, the music company said that Suga will face disciplinary action for his wrongdoing and said, "We apologize for the disappointment this artist's inappropriate behavior caused many of you. As a social service worker, he will receive appropriate disciplinary action from his employer for his behavior. We will be more careful to prevent this from happening in the future. Thank you.”
