BTS<\/a>‘ Suga has issued an apology following a run-in with the police.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On Wednesday, the member of the global K-pop group issued an apology across social media after his license was revoked for operating an electric scooter under the influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Hello, this is Suga. I’m feeling extremely heavy-hearted and sorry to have to come to you all over such disappointing matter,” he wrote. “I rode and 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.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He continued by explaining his version of events, “I parked in front of the main gates to my home and I fell over by myself in that process. A police was nearby, and through the results of a breathalyzer test, my license was revoked and I paid a fine. Although no one was hurt, neither was any property harmed in the matter, as this is inexcusably something I have to take responsibility for, I bow my head in apology to everyone. I apologize to those who were hut 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.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Prior to Suga’s statement, BTS’ label, Bighit, also released a statement via <\/span>Weverse<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “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.”<\/span><\/p>\n Suga, 31, is currently serving as a member of the South Korean military as part of his mandatory service. Other members of BTS including\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0V, Jimin, RM, Jung Kook and J-Hope<\/a>\u00a0are all still serving time in the military. In June, Jin — who was the first to enlist for his 18-month service — <\/span>completed his time in the military<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
