"Hello, this is Suga. I'm feeling extremely heavy-hearted and sorry to have to come to you all over such disappointing matter," he wrote on X.
Suga explained that he had drinks during dinner.
"I rode and electric scooter home last night, after having drinks with dinner," he wrote.

"I thought that it was a close distance, and I did not realize that you could not operate an electric scooter after drinking. As such, I violated traffic rules."

The singer says no one was injured.
"Although no one was hurt, neither was any property harmed in the matter, as this is inexcusably something I have to take responsibility for, I bow my head in apology to everyone," he said.
"I apologize to those who were hut by my irresponsible and wrong actions, and I will be even more careful with my actions to prevent such matters from occurring in the future."

"Upon investigation, it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition," police told reporters.
Timberlake spent the night in jail and was released the following day.
