South Korean singer Suga has issued another apology over his case of drink driving involving an e-scooter.
“I apologise deeply for having disappointed and hurt my fans and everyone who loves me,” the 31-year-old wrote in Korean in a handwritten note posted on fan communication platform Weverse on Aug 25.
According to a translation by K-pop website Soompi, he said: “I forgot my responsibility to repay the love I’ve received up until now by behaving in a manner fitting of that love, and I made a grave mistake.”
Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, added: “Because I know that no words can easily heal the hurt and disappointment that I have caused my fans, I am deeply regretting my actions and reflecting each and every day with a heavy heart.”
He added that he would accept any penalties meted out by the authorities and criticism over his actions.
Suga’s latest apology came after he was questioned for three hours over the drink-driving case at a Seoul police station on Aug 23.
