BTS member SUGA wrote a personal apology admitting the drunk driving electric scooter incident. The idol explained how he ended up in the situation and also said that he was unaware of the traffic laws regarding an electric scooter. His agency BIGHIT MUSIC also confirmed the reports and released a statement explaining the situation.
On August 7, BTS' SUGA responded to the reports claiming that he is under police investigation for drunk driving an electrical scooter. The idol confirmed the reports and apologized with a Weverse post. He detailed how he ended up riding the electric kickboard and also explained that he was unaware of the traffic laws about the vehicle. Here is what he had to say.
'Hello everyone, this is SUGA.
I feel deeply sorry and heavy to come to you with such a piece of disappointing news.
After drinking at dinner last night, I tried to get back on an electric kickboard.
I chose to take a kickboard back as I was nearby and I was not aware of the law regarding drunk driving on a kickboard and hence ended up violating the traffic law.
I fell down alone while parking the kickboard at the front of my house door. A police personnel was nearby and I was issued with a license revocation and a fine. No one was injured and nothing was damaged because of the incident.
But I bow down and sincerely apologize to everyone with full responsibility for my inexcusable actions.
I apologize to everyone who were hurt by my careless and wrong behaviour. I will be more careful in the future so that such incidents don't happen again. '
In South Korea, traffic rules for electric scooters are similar to those for cars. Only people with a license can rent electric scooters and their movement is also strictly monitored.
SUGA is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service. He entered the training centre in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do in March 2023 to receive basic military training and is currently a social service worker. Personnel at this post work from 9 am to 6 pm and can return home after the day's work.
