On the 25th, SUGA posted on the fan community platform Weverse, "On the night of August 6th, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk after drinking alcohol.
"I also apologize for causing so much confusion with my initial apology, which was hastily posted on the 7th," he said, "I should have thought about it more deeply and been more careful, but I failed to do so."
Suga then said, "I will accept not only the punishment that will be handed down in the future, but also the criticism and reprimands," and "I once again sincerely apologize for causing social controversy and disappointing many people."
Suga was found to have been drinking when he collapsed while riding an electric scooter on the street in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the night of the 6th.
At the time, Suga's blood alcohol level was 0.227%, and he was reportedly completely drunk. Suga turned himself in to Yongsan Police Station on the 23rd, 17 days after he was arrested for drunk driving, to undergo an investigation.
"SUGA has admitted to the facts of the charges," the company said. SUGA has been serving as a social service officer since September last year and is fulfilling his military service obligation. He will be discharged in June next year.
Full text of SUGA's handwritten apology: Hello. This is SUGA. I feel embarrassed and would like to apologize to everyone once again.
I have disappointed my fans and everyone who loves me with my wrong actions.
I made a big mistake by forgetting my responsibility to repay the love I had received with actions worthy of it.
On the night of August 6th, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk after drinking alcohol. Also, my initial apology, which I posted in a hurry on the 7th, caused a lot of confusion.
I am sorry. I should have thought about it more carefully, but I failed to do so. It is all my fault. My carelessness has ruined all the people who care about me.
I will try my best to never make the same mistake again and will live my life reflecting on it. I regret the precious memories I made with the other members and fans.
This has caused great hurt and tarnished the name of "BTS". It has caused harm to the members and the team, and I feel so sorry and sad that it is difficult to put into words.
I'm sorry that the members who always believed in me had to go through such a difficult time because of me. And I'm sorry for the disappointment felt by the fans who supported and cheered for me.
I really understand that feeling. I'm just so sorry to the fans who have always given me so much love despite my shortcomings...
I know that no words can heal the pain and disappointment I have caused to my fans, so I feel deeply sorry.
I regret my actions and reflect on them with a heavy heart each and every day. Once again, I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the fans who were hurt by me.
I intend to accept not only the punishment that will be handed down to me in the future, but also the criticism and reprimands that will come my way.
Finally, we would like to once again bow our heads in sincerity and apologize for causing social controversy and disappointing so many people.
