BTS SUGA offers his sincerest apologies to ARMYs and is deeply reflecting on his actions.
On August 25, the 31-year-old K-pop star took to Weverse to share a handwritten letter, apologizing for hurting and disappointing fans with his actions.
With a sense of shame, I would like to offer my sincere apologies to everyone once again.
I deeply apologize for disappointing and hurting the fans and everyone who has loved and supported me due to my misbehavior.
I failed to uphold the responsibility to repay the love I have received with appropriate behavior and committed a serious mistake.
On the night of August 6, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter to home on the sidewalk after drinking.
Additionally, I apologize for causing much confusion with the first apology statement that I hastily posted on the 7th.
I should have thought more deeply and been more cautious, but I failed to do so.
All of this is my fault. My thoughtlessness has caused difficulties for everyone who cares about me.
I will strive to ensure that I do not repeat such wrongful actions and will live with remorse.
Because of this incident, I have left a significant stain on the precious memories I have made with the members and fans and have brought disgrace to the name of BTS.
I am deeply sorry and inexpressibly pained for having caused harm to the team and the members.
I am sorry to the members who have always trusted me and now have to go through a difficult time because of me.
I also fully understand the disappointment felt by the fans who have supported and cheered for me.
I am only filled with regret and apology towards the fans who have always given me overwhelming love despite my shortcomings.
I know that no words can heal the wounds and disappointment felt by the fans, and I am deeply regretful, reflecting with a heavy heart every day.
Once again, I sincerely apologize to all the fans who were hurt because of me.
