‘Suga, a member of BTS, was found collapsed intoxicated while riding an electric scooter on the 7th. At the time, Suga’s blood alcohol level was assessed to be at the ‘license revocation’ level.’
‘Police officers near the scene helped Suga, took him to the police station upon detecting alcohol odor coming from him.’
‘Upon this becoming public, Suga issued a direct apology through BTS’s official Weverse.’
‘He expressed his deep remorse, saying, “I feel very heavy and sorry to disappoint you with this unfortunate incident.” He admitted to drinking alcohol and riding an electric kickboard home after dinner the night before.’
‘He further revealed that he violated road traffic regulations due to his careless thought that it was a short distance and his intoxicated state making it inappropriate to use an electric kickboard.’
‘In his apology, Suga used the term ‘electric kickboard’ instead of ‘electric scooter,’ raising questions about whether he was trying to downplay the situation.’
‘In response, Suga’s agency Big Hit Music explained, “We described the product the artist used as a kickboard with a saddle attached as an ‘electric kickboard’ from our perspective.”‘
“They added, ‘Through additional verification, we realized that the classification may vary depending on the product’s performance and specifications, and the scope of responsibility for the accident may differ. There was no intention of downplaying the situation as some have interpreted.'”
‘Suga is currently serving as a conscripted policeman and is expected to be discharged in June 2025.’
