What Happened
Suga revealed that after drinking late at night, he was riding his electric kickboard home. He violated traffic laws, and while setting up the scooter near his house, he fell.

Suga’s Apology
In his note, Suga expressed deep regret and said, “It is with a very heavy and apologetic heart that I have to come to you with such disappointment. I did not realize that using an electric kickboard while drunk was prohibited. I am deeply sorry for my careless actions and understand the gravity of my mistake.”
He continued, “I apologize to everyone who was hurt by my actions, and I will be more cautious in the future to prevent such incidents.”
Statement from BigHit Music
BTS’s agency, BigHit Music, also issued an apology. They explained, “On Tuesday night, Suga was using an electric scooter while wearing a helmet. After traveling about 500 meters, he fell while parking. He was ticketed and his license was revoked after a sobriety test by nearby police officers.
