"Both the victim and Jungkook did not sustain any major injuries," Big Hit told BBC News.

According to Big Hit Entertainment's statement, Jungkook has accepted that the accident was his fault and "admitted violating traffic laws," as reported by ABC News. 

Police involved in the investigation told ABC News that alcohol was not a factor and that they would wait to file charges once the damage to the taxi driver is confirmed. 

Since news of the accident, the hashtag #JungkookWeLoveYou has been circulating as fans have shown the singer their love.
