The statement read, "Hello. This is BigHit Music. We are making an additional statement regarding BTS member Suga. First, we deeply apologise once again for having disappointed many people with this unsavory incident. We also apologise for rushing to make a statement without carefully checking various circumstances and therefore creating confusion."
It further read, "1) Regarding the use of the term 'electric kickboard'-We determined that the vehicle used by the artist was a kickboard with a seat attached to it, so we described it as an 'electric kickboard'. In the process of checking further, we learned that the categorization of the vehicle may differ based on its capabilities and specifications, and we also learned that the scope of liability for the accident could change as well."
Suga’s agency added, "We had absolutely no intention of downplaying the incident, as some are saying we did. We apologise once again for hastily making a statement without reviewing the incident more carefully. When the investigative authorities come to a decision on the categorization of the vehicle in question, we will diligently take full responsibility according to their decision."
"Above all else, both the artist and our agency bow our heads in apology for the fact that he was not able to show an exemplary image during his military service and that he caused an unsavoury incident during his period of service. We also sincerely apologise to the fans who must have been disappointed. We will diligently cooperate with the police’s additional investigations in the future, and we will humbly accept the result of their investigations," Big Hit concluded.
