A member of BTS apologizes for drunk driving and has had their license revoked by the police.

BTS member SUGA, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, has recently found himself in hot water after being caught driving an electric scooter while intoxicated. The incident, which occurred on a street in Hannam-dong, resulted in the 31-year-old singer being fined and having his license revoked. According to the Seoul Yongsan Police Station, SUGA violated the Road Traffic Act and was found to have a high level of alcohol in his system during a breathalyzer test.

His agency, Big Hit Music, released a statement apologizing for SUGA's actions and confirming that he had been riding the electric scooter after consuming alcohol. They explained that while wearing a helmet, SUGA had traveled about 500 meters before falling while attempting to park the scooter. The nearby police then conducted a breathalyzer test and imposed a fine, as well as revoking his license. Thankfully, there were no injuries or property damage as a result of the incident and SUGA was safely escorted home by the police.

In light of the situation, SUGA took to the South Korean entertainment app Weverse to personally apologize to his fans. He expressed deep regret for his actions and admitted that he had not realized the danger and illegality of riding an electric scooter while under the influence. He took full responsibility for his actions and sincerely apologized to everyone involved.

SUGA's agency also issued a separate apology, expressing their deep regret for the disappointment caused by their artist's inappropriate behavior. They also stated that SUGA would willingly accept any disciplinary action at his workplace, as he is a social service agent, and acknowledged that his actions had caused public concern.

Thankfully, the Military Manpower Administration, where SUGA works, confirmed that no further action would be taken against him as the incident occurred outside of work hours. Despite this unfortunate incident, BTS continues to be one of the most well-known and popular K-pop boybands in the world. As always, they are grateful for the support of their loyal fans and are focused on moving forward.
