BTS ’ Suga has shared a handwritten letter of apology for his drunk driving incident. Earlier this month, Suga was booked by the police for riding an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. Both Suga and BIGHIT MUSIC immediately apologized for the incident, but their apologies soon came under fire due to partial misinformation in their statements.
The following day, BIGHIT MUSIC followed up with a new apology for the misinformation in their original statement. On August 25, Suga took to Weverse to post a new letter of apology regarding the incident. His full letter is as follows: Hello.
This is Suga. It is with feelings of shame that I apologize once again to you all. I apologize very deeply for having disappointed and hurt my fans and everyone who loves me through my wrongdoings.
I forgot my responsibility to repay the love I’ve received up until now by behaving in a manner fitting of that love, and I made a grave mistake. On the night of August 6, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk after drinking. I also apologize for causing a great deal of confusion through my first apology that I hastily posted on August 7.
I should have thought more deeply and carefully, but I failed to do so. Everything is my fault. Due to my carelessness, everyone who cares about me is going through a difficult time.
I will live my life reflecting and making efforts not to commit such wrongdoings again. Through this incident, I have left a large blemish.
