On August 13th, wreaths containing request for Suga’s withdrawal from BTS were displayed in front of HYBE’s office building in Yongsan, Seoul. The wreath contains fierce messages criticizing Suga for drunk driving, such as “Congratulations on your fall,” “Min Yoon-ki, leave voluntarily,” “Don’t you feel sorry for the members,” and “Your fall is just around the corner.”
After Suga’s drunk driving became known, some fans demanded his withdrawal, and even held a wreath protest. However, at the same time, other ARMYs are being over-protective of Suga, which raises eyebrows for many.
Recently, photos of overseas fans with the hashtag “Suga Challenge,” showing them holding bottles in a vehicle, have been posted continuously, shocking netizens. They are showing their unwavering affection for Suga by saying, “I support Suga and BTS” and “I will always be with you.”
On top of that, SEVENTEEN’s Boo Seung-kwan recently posted a photo on his account promoting a beer brand, along with the warning “Excessive drinking can cause stroke, memory impairment, or dementia. Drinking during pregnancy increases the risk of birth of deformed babies. Just a little bit is enough.” Some BTS fans who pointed out that the product he was holding in the photo was “Zero Suga,” which led to them terrorizing Boo’s account with malicious comments.
In addition, some fans of BTS have created a challenge named after Rosé and Jennie of BLACKPINK, saying that the “Suga Challenge” was created by BLINKs (BLACKPINK’s Fandom) to damage the reputation of BTS and ARMYs. These ARMYs drew criticism from many for their shocking behavior, such as photoshopping Rosé in drug photos to portray her as a drug offender, and many men in Jennie’s photos.
Earlier on August 6th, Suga was found falling while riding an electric scooter while drunk in Yongsan-gu. At that time, his blood alcohol concentration was 0.2%, which is said to be intoxicated.
At the time, he said he fell while riding an electric kickboard, but it was found that Suga was on an electric scooter, and public criticism is spreading for his behavior and lies.
