Sa pangatlong pagkakataon, muling humingi ng paumanhin sa publiko ang BTS member na si Suga, kaugnay pa rin sa kinasasangkutan niyang drunk driving case.
Nangyari ito makaraan ang ilang araw matapos niyang personal na magtungo sa Seoul Yongsan Police Station para harapin ang questioning na isinasagawa ng pulisya.

Isang handwritten letter ang ipinost ni Suga sa Weverse app nitong Linggo, August 25, 2024, para muling mag-sorry sa fans ng BTS, ang Army.
Dito, inako ni Suga na pagkakamali at kasalanan niya ang nangyaring insidente.
Kaya naman ngayon ay hiyang-hiya raw siya sa kanilang fans, dahil alam daw niyang maraming nalungkot at na-disappoint sa kanyang nagawa.
Mababasa sa handwritten letter ni Suga (ayon sa English translation ng Soompi.com): “Hello. This is Suga. It is with feelings of shame that I apologize once again to you all.
“I apologize very deeply for having disappointed and hurt my fans and everyone who loves me through my wrongdoings.
“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.
“On the night of August 6, I made the mistake of riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk after drinking.”

Isa pang hiningi ng paumanhin ni Suga ay ang pagkakaroon ng pagkalito sa nauna niyang inilabas na statement at maging ng kanyang kinabibilangang talent management, ang BigHit Music.
May kaugnayan ito sa sasakyang gamit ni Suga nang mahuli siya ng mga awtoridad.
Noong August 7, pinag-usapan online ang tungkol sa pagkakahuli kay Suga ng Seoul Yongsan Police matapos nitong lumabag sa Road Traffic Act dahil sa pagmamaneho niya nang lasing.
Dahil sa insidente, mabilis naglabas ng pahayag ang Big Hit Music, ang talent management ni Suga, para ipaliwanag ang nangyari.
Sa unang inilabas na statement ni Suga at ng BigHit, sinabi nilang "electric kickboard" ang sinakyan ng K-pop idol nang mahuli ito.
Bagay na agad namang itinanggi ng pulisya. Ayon sa pulis na nakahuli kay Suga, hindi totoong “electric kickbord” ang sinakyan ng BTS member kundi “electric scooter” na may upuan.
Dispensa ni Suga: “I also apologize for causing a great deal of confusion through my first apology that I hastily posted on August 7.
“I should have thought more deeply and carefully, but I failed to do so.
“Everything is my fault. Due to my carelessness, everyone who cares about me is going through a difficult time.
“I will live my life reflecting and making efforts not to commit such wrongdoings again.”

SUGA ADMITS FEELING ASHAMED TO BTS CO-MEMBER
Bukod sa fans, hiyang-hiya rin daw ngayon si Suga sa kanyang co-members sa BTS.
Pakiramdam daw niya ay nadungisan ang pangalan ng kanyang grupo na matagal na panahon nilang ingatan at trinabaho.
Saad niya: “Through this incident, I have left a large blemish on the precious memories that I made together with my [fellow BTS] members and our fans, and I have tarnished BTS’s name.
“I feel so painfully sorry for having caused damage to the other members and our group that it is difficult to express.
“I’m sorry that the [BTS] members, who always believed in me, are suffering because of me.
“And I’m all too aware of the disappointment that the fans who supported and cheered me on must have felt.”

Alam daw ni Suga na hindi sapat ang salitang sorry sa kanyang nagawa, kaya naman gagawin daw niya ang lahat ng makakaya para siya ay tuluyang mapatawad.
Gagawin din daw niyang motibasyon ang nangyari para mas pagbutihin pa ang kanyang sarili.
Sabi ni Suga: “I feel nothing but apologetic to the fans who gave me more love than I deserved despite my shortcomings…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.
“Once again, I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart to the fans who were hurt because of me.
“I will accept not only the disciplinary measures that will be decided [by the authorities] in the future, but also any criticism or rebuke.
“Finally, I once again bow my head and sincerely apologize for causing a controversy and disappointing many people.”
