Suga wrote a descriptive apology message that read, “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.” The BTS singer further added, “While setting up my electric scooter at the front door of my house, I fell.
A police officer was nearby, and as a result of a breathalyser test, my license was revoked, and I was fined. Although no one was harmed or any facilities were damaged during this process, I bow my head in apology to everyone as it is my responsibility and there is no room for excuses.” A police officer stumbled upon the rapper on a Tuesday night in Seoul’s Yongsan district.
