'Drunk driving'Sugar dismisses rumors of suspension of advertising contracts, re-emerges overseas
BTS Suga's new Samsung Electronics ad has been released. Rumors have been raised that the Ambassador contract will be suspended due to the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, but related suspicions have been put to rest.

According to the industry on the 2nd, Samsung Electronics' Paraguay corporation posted a photo of a Samsung projector advertisement featuring Suga on social media on the 31st of last month. Suga in the picture is using a projector in the studio, outdoors, and studio according to each situation.

Earlier, rumors were raised that the Ambassador contract was suspended for Suga, who was handed over to the prosecution for driving an electric scooter while drunk. This is because Samsung Electronics' German subsidiary posted and deleted a photo of Suga's Galaxy S24 Ultra model advertisement on the 24th of last month. However, the commercial photo revealed Suga's robustness.



In this photo of Suga's commercial, foreign fans said, `It was ridiculous information that Samsung Electronics abandoned Suga", "I'll stand by Suga's side with Samsung." Comments are pouring in.

Meanwhile, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul sent Suga to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office without detention on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act on the 30th of last month.



Suga is accused of drinking and riding an electric scooter near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, at around 11:15 p.m. on the 6th. When Suga was found by police while driving an electric scooter, the blood alcohol level was 0.227%, which was 'Drunken'. Suga appeared at the police on the 23rd, 17 days after the accident, and was investigated for about three hours, and admitted to the charges.

Since then, Suga has posted a handwritten apology on the fan community Weverse. He "I would like to express my apologies again with shame. I deeply apologize for the disappointment and hurt of my fans and everyone who loves me for the wrong behavior."



Suga corrected the contents of the first apology, which was suspected of reducing the case, saying, `I have forgotten my responsibility to repay you with actions worthy of the love I received. He made the mistake of driving to India on an electric scooter after drinking on the night of 6 August. I'm sorry for much confusion with the first apology I hastily posted on the 7th. I should have thought and thought more carefully, but I couldn't," he said.

I will try not to do wrong again and live with repentance. I will be criticized and reprimanded as well as future dispositions. Once again, I sincerely apologize for causing a social stir and disappointing many people."
