BTS Suga Drunk Driving Accident: BTS member Suga shocked his fans after the news about his drunk driving accident surfaced on social media. The rapper was reportedly found on the streets by police on August 6 and the patrolling police allegedly smelled alcohol from him. BTS' agency BigHit Music and Suga issued a statement to apologise to fans for causing inconvenience. However, the agency received criticism for downplaying the incident and later issued another statement.

BigHit Music said in a statement, "Hello. This is BigHit Music. We are making an additional statement regarding BTS member Suga. First, we deeply apologise once again for having disappointed many people with this unsavory incident. We also apologise for rushing to make a statement without carefully checking various circumstances and therefore creating confusion."

"We had absolutely no intention of downplaying the incident, as some are saying we did. We apologise once again for hastily making a statement without reviewing the incident more carefully. When the investigative authorities come to a decision on the categorization of the vehicle in question, we will diligently take full responsibility according to their decision," the agency added.

"2) Regarding the imposition of a fine and the revocation of [Suga’s] license--On August 6, after the artist underwent the police’s breathalyzer test at the scene of the incident, he was immediately sent home. Both our agency and the artist did not realize that there were still steps remaining to be taken in the investigative process, and we mistakenly thought that the case in question had been closed. In light of the severity of the case, we apologise for having conveyed misinformation due to internal communication errors," the statement reads.

We also sincerely apologise to the fans who must have been disappointed. We will diligently cooperate with the police’s additional investigations in the future, and we will humbly accept the result of their investigations," it concluded.

On the work front, Suga earlier released his album 'D-Day' and also toured around the world for his concerts before military enlistment.
