Compile of Khun's mom message regarding the accident

I really like what Khun's mom says regarding the matter. Here's the compiled message from her:

"I can't contact Khun yet, but I talked to the PR. They said that no one got injured, and it was just a minor accident. I'm happy that nothing really bad happened. Now I'm feeling quite relieved.

I'm actually really surprised because Khun normally takes care of himself well. I think it's just that he's a young guy and only had 2 glasses, which if he drinks, he normally wouldn't drive.

The dorm was close to the restaurant, that's why he drove, I think. I feel sorry that if this is what actually happened, he should take care of himself better. This is what he has to remember, if he drinks, he shouldn't drive.

Khun normally doesn't drink even if they have celebrations after concerts. But with this news, I'm not really surprised because he's a young guy. It's a normal thing in the society. He usually doesn't drink beer though. Maybe he used to drink wine before meals when he was in New Zealand.. but his dad always tells him, if he's drunk, then he should't drive.

I think this is an important lesson for him. He's lucky that there were no casualties. It teaches us to be responsible for others also.

He always cares so much about others, so now I'm just worried that he'll be stressed out about damaging the band's fame. He won't worried much about himself, but he'll be worried about creating problems for others. This'll be a lesson to teach us to walk on the right path. I think it's good because it teaches us to not make the same mistakes again.

I'd to thank all the fans who sent supports to him. This is to prove that he's an ordinary person who can make mistakes, but mistakes have to be looked at in a way that if this was because he was reckless or not."
