While the group BTS Suga apologized for driving under the influence of an electric scooter, some enthusiastic fans' unconditional 'wrap' is raising eyebrows.

On the 7th, Suga apologized directly for 'electric scooter drunk driving' through Weverse.

He came home on an electric kickboard after drinking at the dinner table last night"I fell alone while setting up an electric kickboard at the main gate in front of my house, and there was a police officer around me, so I took a breath test and found that the license was revoked and a fine was imposed."



"There were no people or facilities damaged in this process, but it is my inexcusable responsibility, so I bow down and apologize to everyone."," he apologized.

The agency, Big Hit Music, also said, `We apologize for disappointing many people due to the artist's inappropriate behavior"He said, "For actions that caused social controversy as a social service worker, we will be punished appropriately by the workplace."



Quick acknowledgment, apology, and quick response shone, but public criticism continued because 'Drunk Driving' is a serious crime. In addition, as the public's expectations for the group's BTS were high, voices of disappointment grew.

However, some fans continued 'polar shield' despite Suga's acknowledgement of drunk driving and apology.



As of 2 p.m. on the 7th, the real-time trend of X (formerly Twitter) was dominated by the search word '#MinYoon-ki, who was named by Suga's real name, Min Yoon-ki, and I love you'. It was found to be a hashtag 'gun (gun attack)' to commemorate the concert held last year, but it was listed as a real-time search word in conjunction with Suga's drunk driving. Even though Suga's drunk driving was known, 'Guns' continues. Not only that, but some fans are sending messages of support for Suga with the hashtag.

Of course, such support is an atmosphere that even the same fandom 'Army' cannot understand. However, it means that the amount of search is not small as the search word has been posted in real time.

I understand the upset that a supporting artist causes a social stir and receives criticism accordingly, but the method is wrong. Crooked fan sentiment only instills a negative image of the artist. If you really support Suga, shouldn't you give him time to sincerely reflect on himself and wait.

Meanwhile, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul said it is investigating Suga on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (Drunk Driving).

According to the police, Suga was found alone while riding an electric scooter while drunk in Yongsan-gu the previous day. When a nearby police officer went to help Suga who fell, he smelled alcohol and handed him over to a nearby district.

Suga is alternatively serving as a social service worker in September last year, and the date of the call-up is June 2025.
