Suga's apology 

Hello, I'm Suga.


I feel very heavy and sorry to come to you with disappointment.
After drinking at the dinner table last night, I got home on an electric kickboard. He violated the road
traffic laws without realizing that he could not use an electric kickboard when he was drunk due to the
comfortable idea of being close to him. In the process of setting up an electric kickboard at the
front door of the house, I fell alone, and there was a police officer around me, so I took a breath test and found that my license was revoked and a fine was imposed. There were no people or facilities damaged in this process, but I would like to bow down and apologize to everyone because it is my inexcusable responsibility.
I apologize to everyone who has been hurt by my careless and wrong behavior, and I will be more careful with my actions so that this does not happen in the future.



Hello,  
This is Jang Won-sam.  
First of all, I sincerely bow my head and apologize for delivering bad news.

As reported, it is true that I was involved in a DUI minor collision.  
There are no excuses.  
I sincerely apologize for disappointing you.

I deeply regret causing harm to the person involved in the accident yesterday, their family, acquaintances, fans, the broadcasting staff I’m currently working with, the director, the players, fans, sponsors, and advertisers. I am truly sorry for causing concern and trouble with my personal mistake.

I intended to apologize quickly due to my own faults and regrets for disappointing so many people, but having only focused on sports my whole life, I didn’t know how to handle this alone.  
To be honest, I was also very scared.

Even though I intended to take responsibility and apologize, I was concerned that simply saying "I’m sorry" would seem irresponsible. I wanted to properly address everything, which is why I couldn’t apologize right away. I’m sorry for that as well.

Many people, through media reports and personal social media, have wondered exactly what happened. I will tell you honestly without hiding anything.

On the day before the accident, August 16, after meeting with acquaintances in Changwon, we started a late drinking session. As usual, I didn’t drive since I knew I would be drinking.

In Changwon, we first met at a meat restaurant, then moved to a soup restaurant. Before taking a taxi for the third round, I had one more beer with an acquaintance at a convenience store. I arrived home by taxi at 3:37 AM. All the details can be verified through payment records, and I am willing to share them if requested.

On the day of the accident, I had a meeting in Busan, so I left home around noon with my car. That’s when the collision happened.

Although I did not drink on the day of the accident, if there was still alcohol in my system, I should have called a taxi, asked someone to accompany me, or used public transportation. However, thinking that it would be fine since I had slept enough after drinking the night before, I made the careless decision to drive, which led to the accident. After the collision, I was stopped by passing police officers, who conducted a breathalyzer test, which concluded that I was driving under the influence of alcohol from the previous night.

I deeply regret my careless thoughts and actions, and I sincerely apologize to the person involved in the accident. I also apologize again to the fans, the broadcasting staff, the director, the players, the sponsors, and the advertisers for disappointing and inconveniencing them.

From my time as a player until now, with Hyundai, Heroes, Samsung, LG, Lotte, and even my current involvement with *The Strongest Baseball,* I have been able to endure difficult times thanks to the support of so many people.

I sincerely apologize for causing harm and disappointment to everyone due to my mistake. I am also deeply disappointed in myself.

Even after my retirement, I continued to receive much interest and love, thanks to the help of all the members and fans of *The Strongest Baseball.* Once again, I sincerely bow my head and apologize.

I believe the right thing to do is to take responsibility and voluntarily step down. However, I also think it would be wrong to unilaterally announce my resignation without proper communication, so I will personally meet with the PD and the director to explain the situation and apologize, and I will take appropriate responsibility.

I have many fond memories not only as a player but also as Jang Won-sam. I am grateful, and I feel even more sorry because I should have continued to bring joy to everyone with more activities. I sincerely bow my head and apologize for disappointing you.

There will be a police investigation next week. I will fully admit my mistakes and reflect on them without any falsehoods. I am truly sorry.  
I am just sorry. Sincerely.

1. Ah wait he was driving when he was hangover ㅜㅜ I feel bad for the latter apology because I can understand his situation, his attitude is totally different 

2. This is way too comparable... 

3. At least the one at the bottom had some shame, but DUI is bad either case

4. Jang Won-sam’s apology letter is devoid of unnecessary details. It's a situation where a person could make excuses, but he doesn't make excuses

5. Suga's apology wasn't an apology, rather a way to mitigate the public's reaction 

6. I'm not advocating drunk driving, but the sincerity is different. Honestly, the latter can be read as if he really feels sorry, but the former is at the level of making fun of the fans

7. The latter is not only driving when he was hungover, but it seems to have a better reaction (?) because he said he was voluntarily leaving the show he's on. He said he would take responsibility for not appearing on the show and return to being a commoner, what else do people expect him to say?

8. Sigh... The reality slap...

9. Jang Won-sam is an athlete who has been very careful since his days in active service for fear of being criticized, and it's a bit of a comparison because he was driving while hungover...ㅜㅜ Drunk driving and hangover driving are both wrong, but it's been 9 hours since he last drunk, who knew he would've still been caught.. 

10. The fact is that Jang Won-sam was hangover driving while Suga was actually drunk driving ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
