Suga, a member of the K-pop group BTS, apologized on Wednesday for driving an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol, a violation of South Korea’s traffic laws.

       The artist, whose name is Min Yoon-gi, said in a statement that he had his driver’s license revoked and had been fined for riding the scooter home while drunk on Tuesday night.

       The police officer in charge of traffic for Yongsan, a district of Seoul where Suga is said to reside, said that the artist was found alone on the ground and that he was administered a breath test at a police station.
