Jungkook<\/strong>, one of the seven members of K-Pop group BTS<\/a><\/strong>, is under investigation by Seoul police. <\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the “A Brand New Day” singer<\/a> was involved in a traffic accident after his Mercedes Benz crashed into a taxi in the Hannam district of Seoul, South Korea. Though no one was seriously hurt, both parties sustained minor bruises. Following the incident, the 22-year-old was questioned by police, where he admitted he caused the accident, his agency, Big Hit Entertainment, told BBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We once again apologize to the victim,” his management said in a statement to the outlet. “And we also express apologies for causing concern to fans.”<\/p>\n

The case has been considered minor, reports USA Today<\/a>, as there was no human or property damage. A police officer in charge of traffic accidents said the case does not involve drunk driving. Jungkook has since reached a settlement with the driver.<\/p>\n

This news comes just one day after BTS’ big win at the MTV Europe Music Awards<\/a> in Seville, Spain.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
