Legendary South Korean rapper and singer-songwriter PSY concluded his 2024 “Summer Swag” concert series at Suwon World Cup Stadium on August 25. During his latest performance, he gave a shoutout to BTS‘s Suga.
Suga has been in a DUI-related controversy after being caught driving an electric scooter on a sidewalk while drunk on August 6. The police reportedly found him after falling in front of Nine One Hannam, a luxury complex in Hannam-dong. The police detected alcohol on him and brought him to the nearest station, discovering a 0.227% alcohol level in his bloodstream.
On August 23, he appeared at the Yongsan Police Station for questioning. Following this, Suga posted a handwritten apology, expressing his remorse over the incident.
Due to this incident, I have severely damaged the precious memories I have made with the BTS members and the fans, and have hurt BTS’s name. I feel very sorry and am in pain for causing harm to the BTS members and the team, to the point I cannot express fully. I am sorry to the members who have always trusted me, because they are having a hard time because of me. And I know how disappointed the fans who have supported me must feel.
I just feel so sorry to the fans who have always given me so much love… I know that it will be difficult to heal the wounds and repair the disappointment my fans feel with my words, so I am regretting my actions and will reflect on them with a heavy heart every day. Once again, I sincerely apologize to the fans who were hurt by my actions.
— Suga
