In a heartfelt and candid apology to his fans, BTS member Suga admitted to making a grave mistake that has left him feeling regretful and remorseful. The rapper and producer, known for his cool demeanor and powerful lyrics, recently found himself in hot water after an incident involving drunk scooter riding. The incident has sparked a wave of concern among BTS’s global fanbase, the ARMY, and Suga has taken full responsibility for his actions, stating that he feels he has “tarnished the name of BTS.”
The Incident: A Reckless Mistake
The incident in question occurred late one evening when Suga, after a night out with friends, decided to ride a scooter back to his residence. Unbeknownst to his fans and even some of his closest associates, Suga had been drinking. The scooter ride, which could have ended in tragedy, was fortunately without any serious harm, but it was a clear lapse in judgment from the BTS star.
News of the incident spread quickly across social media and news outlets, with fans expressing shock and concern for Suga’s well-being. The ARMY, known for their unwavering support of BTS, were left in a state of disbelief, as Suga is often seen as one of the more reserved and introspective members of the group.
Suga’s Apology: Owning Up to His Mistake
In a video posted to BTS’s official YouTube channel, Suga addressed the incident directly, his voice steady but filled with remorse. “I want to sincerely apologize to everyone, especially our fans, who I’ve disappointed,” he began. “I made a serious mistake by riding a scooter after drinking. It was reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible, and for that, I am truly sorry.”
Suga continued, “I’ve always tried to be someone you can look up to, someone who represents BTS with pride. But this time, I’ve tarnished the name of BTS and let down all the people who believed in me. This is all my fault, and I take full responsibility for my actions.”
The rapper explained that the incident has been a wake-up call for him, emphasizing the importance of setting a good example, especially for the younger generation that looks up to BTS. “We’re in a position where millions of people watch what we do, and I failed to live up to the standards that you all deserve. I promise to learn from this and to never make the same mistake again.”
The ARMY’s Reaction: Mixed Emotions
As with any scandal involving a beloved celebrity, fan reactions have been mixed. While many have expressed disappointment, the overwhelming response from the ARMY has been one of support and forgiveness. “We all make mistakes, Suga. What matters is that you own up to it and grow from it,” one fan wrote on Twitter, capturing the sentiment of many.
Others, however, have used the incident as a moment to discuss the pressures and expectations placed on idols like Suga. “These guys are human too. They’re bound to slip up sometimes. It’s just unfortunate that when they do, it’s in front of the whole world,” another fan commented, emphasizing the unrealistic expectations often placed on celebrities.
BTS and BigHit Entertainment’s Response
BigHit Entertainment, the agency behind BTS, released a statement shortly after Suga’s apology, expressing their support for the artist. “We are aware of the incident involving Suga and have discussed the matter with him at length.

The other members of BTS have also shown their support for Suga, with RM, the group’s leader, sharing a message on Weverse. “We’re a family, and families stick together no matter what. We’ve all talked to Suga, and we’re here to support him as he moves past this. Let’s all show him the same love and support that he’s always shown us.”

Suga’s drunk scooter riding incident serves as a stark reminder of the responsibilities that come with fame, especially when millions are watching. His candid apology and willingness to take full responsibility have been praised, not only by fans but also by fellow artists and industry professionals.
As BTS continues to dominate the global music scene, this incident is likely to be a small blip in the grand scheme of their careers. But for Suga, it’s a personal lesson in the importance of making wise choices, especially when so many look up to him.
