Suga, a member of the globally acclaimed K-pop group BTS, has formally apologized once again to his fans regarding a past drunk-driving incident that resurfaced following his completion of mandatory military service.

The incident took place prior to his enlistment when Suga was summarily indicted for driving an electric scooter under the influence in August 2024. He was fined 15 million KRW for violating the Road Traffic Act. At the time, the news caused a considerable public stir and led to disappointment among fans and the general public alike.

On June 21, upon his discharge from fulfilling his alternative service duties, Suga addressed fans on the community platform Weverse: "I am deeply sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by last year's incident," he wrote. He added, "It was extremely distressing to know that I had hurt the hearts of my fans."

Suga further expressed regret to his fellow BTS members, remarking, "I also felt apologetic toward the members, who surely carried heavy hearts in their own ways." He ended by sincerely thanking fans for their patience during his service.

BigHit Music, Suga’s agency, had previously announced on June 18 that there would be no official event on the day of Suga’s discharge and strongly advised fans not to visit the site in order to prevent safety hazards due to crowding.

Since September 2023, Suga had been serving as a social service agent in Seoul, and his discharge marks the completion of his military obligations.
