Big Hit Entertainment, BTS’s record label, issued an apology regarding Suga’s accident with an electric kickboard. They sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by his inappropriate behavior and acknowledge that, as a military service worker, he is prepared to face any penalties for causing a disturbance in society.
