Bollywood Fever: BTS’ Suga has issued a heartfelt apology following a run-in with the police over an incident involving driving an electric scooter under the influence.

On Wednesday, Suga, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, addressed his fans on social media after his license was revoked for operating an electric scooter while intoxicated.

“Hello, this is Suga. I’m feeling extremely heavy-hearted and sorry to have to come to you all over such a disappointing matter,” he wrote. “I rode an electric scooter home last night after having drinks with dinner. I thought that it was a close distance, and I did not realize that you could not operate an electric scooter after drinking. As such, I violated traffic rules.”

He continued by explaining the events of the night, “I parked in front of the main gates to my home and I fell over by myself in that process. A police officer was nearby, and through the results of a breathalyzer test, my license was revoked and I paid a fine. Although no one was hurt, nor was any property harmed in the matter, this is inexcusable, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I apologize to those who were hurt by my irresponsible and wrong actions, and I will be even more careful with my actions to prevent such matters from occurring in the future.”

Prior to Suga’s statement, BTS’ label, Bighit, also released an apology via Weverse.

“We express our sincere apology for the incident involving BTS member Suga and his electric kickboard accident. We apologize for the disappointment caused by the artist’s inappropriate behavior. As a social service agent during his military service, he is prepared to accept any disciplinary actions from his place of work for causing a social disturbance. We will take greater care to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future.”

Suga, 31, is currently serving as a member of the South Korean military as part of his mandatory service. Other BTS members, including V, Jimin, RM, Jung Kook, and J-Hope, are also serving in the military. In June, Jin, who was the first to enlist for his 18-month service, completed his time in the military.

The group is expected to reunite and create more music together in 2025 after everyone’s service is complete.
