K-pop sensation Suga, from the internationally acclaimed boy band BTS, faced police on Friday for additional questioning related to a drunken e-scooter incident. The rapper previously issued an apology after being fined and losing his license for riding under the influence.

In an emotional moment captured by media, Suga expressed remorse, stating, "I am deeply sorry. I truly regret I have disappointed many fans and many people." He vowed full cooperation with law enforcement while donning a black suit and making a deep bow to signify his regret.

Authorities are examining the extent of Suga's intoxication and motives during the incident. Reports reveal that he was sent home initially due to severe inebriation. His label, Big Hit Music, part of HYBE, confirmed the breath test failure. Fan backlash included symbolic protests with flower wreaths at HYBE headquarters, urging his departure from the band. Currently on a group activity hiatus, Suga has been fulfilling social service commitments linked to his military duty.
