I would like to apologize again with an embarrassed heart.
I deeply apologize for disappointing and hurting my fans and everyone who loves me with my wrong actions.
I forgot my sense of responsibility to repay the love I have received and made a big mistake.
On the night of August 6th, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk after drinking.
I also apologize for causing much confusion with my first apology that I hastily uploaded on the 7th. I should
have thought more deeply and been more careful, but I failed.
It is all my fault. My recklessness is making it difficult for everyone who cares about me.
I will try not to make the same mistake again and live my life in repentance.
Because of this incident, I have greatly tarnished the precious memories I have made with the members and fans and have tarnished the name of BTS.
I am so sorry and in pain that it is difficult to express how much I have harmed the members and the team. I am sorry that
the members who have always trusted me have had a hard time because of me.
And I also know all too well how disappointed my fans who supported and cheered me on must have felt. I feel
nothing but apology to the fans who have always given me so much love despite my shortcomings…
I know that it is difficult for words to heal the wounds and disappointment my fans have received, so I deeply regret it and reflect with a heavy heart every day.
Once again, I offer my sincere apologies to the fans who have been hurt because of me.
I will willingly accept any punishment that is given in the future, as well as criticism and reprimands.
Lastly, I once again bow my head and sincerely apologize for causing social controversy and disappointing many people."
In closing, Suga vowed to live with a sense of remorse and promised to avoid repeating the same mistakes, seeking to regain the trust and love of his fans.
