At the time of his arrest, Suga’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.227%, far exceeding the license revocation standard of 0.08%.
On the 25th, Suga issued a handwritten apology through the fan community ‘Weverse,’ saying, “I deeply apologize for disappointing and hurting all the fans and everyone who loves me due to my wrongful actions. I forgot the responsibility to reciprocate the love I have received with appropriate behavior, and I made a significant mistake.”
