Suga admitted that he disappointed his fans and added that it was also 'upsetting" for him.
'Dear ARMY, thank you for your patience and thank you very much. And I'm sorry for making you disappointed and worried about what happened last year.

What Is Suga's Drunk Driving Case?
BTS ' Suga came under fire in August 2024 when it was revealed that he was drunk while riding a scooter. The rapper was found lying on the ground by a few patrolling officers and was taken to the police station. It was reported that when he was tested for alcohol content at the police station, the authorities found 0.227% alcohol in him. As a result, Suga's licence was revoked.
Suga also faced criticism from many after the incident. Several trucks were also seen in Seoul, protesting against Suga and demanding his removal from BTS.
Later, Suga also issued an apology statement which read, 'I am deeply sorry and heavy-hearted to come to you with such disappointing news. Last night, after having drinks at a dinner, I rode an electric scooter to go home. With the complacent thought that it was a short distance and without realising that using an electric scooter while intoxicated is prohibited, I violated traffic laws."
The case was then closed in September 2024, reportedly without a trial. Min Yoongi was let off by prosecutors with a fine. However, the amount was not disclosed.

The idol, while talking about having children, had said that she would prefer to have a child 'naturally'. The idol had said, 'I don't want to go as far as IVF. I don't want to rely on medical help that much. If a child comes naturally, I would be very grateful and raise them. I know someone who had their first child at the age of 58.'

Why are you guys acting like this?' while another defended her by saying, 'What's the issue with what she said? It's not like she criticised or looked down on people doing IVF — she just said she doesn't want to do it herself. So why are people so offended?'

Squid Game 3: Jo Yu Ri reveals finals message of her character Player 222, wants to act in a Bollywood musical
At just 23, Jo Yu Ri is making a powerful impression in the star-studded ensemble of Squid Game Season 3. Known for her K-pop roots and rising solo career, Yu Ri steps into her most emotionally intense role yet as Jun Hee (Player 222), a mother-to-be navigating the brutality of the deadly games—and an unexpected reunion with her boyfriend, the bankrupt crypto scammer Myung Gi (played by Si Wan). Despite being new to scripted acting, Yu Ri's performance is already turning heads. She brings raw emotional depth to a character grappling with pregnancy, survival, and heartbreak, all within the series' violent dystopia. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN from Seoul, Yu Ri opened up about the emotional and personal challenges of portraying Jun Hee. 'My biggest worry,' she shared, 'was whether those who've actually experienced pregnancy and childbirth would find my acting off or unconvincing. That thought stayed with me, so I did a lot of research.' Yu Ri's preparation was deeply rooted in empathy and realism. 'I asked my mom, a gynecologist, and a friend who had recently given birth. Their stories and advice helped me shape Jun Hee in a grounded and respectful way.' While Squid Game has brought her international attention, Yu Ri is no stranger to fame. She first rose to stardom by placing third on the hit survival show Produce 48, earning her a spot in the now-disbanded girl group IZ*One. Since launching her solo career in 2021, she's also contributed soundtracks to popular K-dramas like See You in My 19th Life, My Lovely Liar, and Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born. Her acting debut came in 2022 in the web series Mimicus, where she played a young teen chasing her dreams. Post-Squid Game, she's felt a shift in the kind of recognition she receives. 'Earlier, my fanbase was mostly younger,' she notes. 'But after Squid Game, people across different generations started noticing me. That felt incredibly rewarding.' When asked about future aspirations, including work beyond Korea, Yu Ri is enthusiastic. 'If I ever get the chance to visit India, I'd love to be part of a musical film,' she says. 'I know how popular musicals are there, and it would be a dream to take part in one.' As Jun Hee faces devastating choices in the final installment of Squid Game Season 3, what message would she want to leave behind for Myung Gi? Yu Ri pauses for a moment. 'She's not someone who says much. But I think she would have told him, 'Please protect our baby.' She says that line to Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) in the show, but I feel like that message was truly meant for Myung Gi.' Squid Game Season 3 premieres June 27 on Netflix.
