A dinner outing turned into a trip to the police station for one BTS singer.

Suga, one of the members of K-pop boy band BTS, was taken home by police after having his license revoked for riding an electric scooter while intoxicated. In a statement about the incident, Suga apologized and said he was unaware that riding the scooter after drinking violated South Korean traffic laws.

"While I was parking my electric kickboard at the front gate of my house, I fell over by myself," the 31-year-old wrote in a message to fans. "And as a result of the breathalyzer test conducted by a police officer nearby, my license was revoked and a fine was imposed. No one was harmed or any facilities were damaged in the process, but this is my responsibility and I have no excuses, so I bow my head and apologize to everyone."

The South Korean group's label Big Hit Music mentioned in a separate statement that Suga's journey was only 500 meters or one-third of a mile and he was at least wearing a helmet. However, to have his license revoked, his blood alcohol content must have been 0.08 percent or higher.

"I thought it was a short distance and didn't realize that you can't ride an electric scooter while intoxicated, so I violated the road traffic laws," Suga, real name Ming Yoon-gi, explained.

The artist has been fulfilling his mandatory military service as a social service agent in South Korea since last year. He has mostly managed to stay out of the public eye during this time.

"As a social service agent during his military service, he is prepared to accept any disciplinary actions from his place of work for causing a social disturbance," Big Hit added. "We will take greater care to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future."
