BTS Fans Demand Suga’s Removal After DUI Incident
In a shocking turn of events, BTS fans have resorted to extreme measures to express their anger over member Suga’s recent behavior. Protests have erupted outside the HYBE headquarters in Seoul.
The controversy stems from a video that surfaced of Suga riding an electric scooter while intoxicated. The incident sparked outrage among fans, leading to a series of protests and demands for his expulsion from the group.
Crown of Flowers and Messages
Protesters have placed floral wreaths outside the HYBE building, bearing messages that convey their disappointment and anger. The wreaths feature phrases such as “Min Yoon-gi, leave BTS,” “Resign voluntarily for drunk driving,” and “Aren’t you ashamed of the fans?”
Some messages also take a sarcastic tone, such as “Why are you making headlines for your personal life?” and “Congratulations on your downfall.”
Online Outrage
The incident has also fueled widespread online backlash. Posts satirizing the situation have gone viral, comparing Suga’s blood alcohol level to an Olympic athlete’s performance.
Charts comparing Suga’s level to those of other celebrities involved in DUI scandals are also circulating.
Further Allegations
The DUI incident has brought Suga’s conduct during his military service into question. Since September 2023, he has been serving as a social service agent and is scheduled for release in June 2025.
However, allegations have emerged that he did not fully participate in basic training and displayed an uncooperative attitude. The authenticity of these allegations is still being investigated.
Security Footage Released
On Tuesday, August 13, Yonhap News TV released exclusive security footage showing Suga colliding with a sidewalk while operating the scooter. The incident occurred around 11:10 pm on August 6.
Police officers witnessed the collision and administered a breathalyzer test, confirming his intoxication.

Suga told police that he had only consumed one beer and drove for a short distance. Due to his altered state, a more thorough investigation will be conducted later.
The incident has cast a shadow over BTS’s reputation and raised questions about Suga’s future with the group. Fans await further updates on the situation, as the protests and online outrage continue.
