His blood alcohol level at the time of the incident was 0.227%, well above the legal limit of 0.08% for license revocation.
On the 25th, Suga expressed his remorse through a handwritten apology on the fan community platform ‘Weverse.’ He acknowledged his wrongful actions and apologized for disappointing and hurting his fans and all those who love him. He admitted that he had neglected his responsibility to reciprocate the love he had received with appropriate behavior, and deeply regretted his significant mistake.
