Jesse Lingard (32), who plays for FC Seoul, apologized.
The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said on the 17th that it has launched a pre-booking investigation into Lingard for suspicion of riding an electric kickboard without a license. One day earlier, on the 16th, Lingard rode an electric kickboard without a license in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He also failed to wear safety equipment such as helmets.
Lingard admitted his mistake and made an apology through his SNS account on Wednesday. “I rode an electric kickboard not knowing that only those with driver’s license can wear a helmet,” Lingard admitted.
He added, “I will never do this again in the future.”
◇ Jesse Lingard’s apology on the 17th
I drove an electric scooter for a while yesterday. 안전놀이터
I didn’t know the helmet-wearing regulations for electric kickboards, and I rode them without even realizing that only driver’s licensees could drive.
If you are a foreigner visiting Korea, I hope you check the regulations carefully. Safety always comes first for us, and this fact ( riding an electric kickboard without knowing) can be dangerous.
And I will never do this again.
