Even with strong support from his loyal fans, SUGA is experiencing upsetting threats that raise concerns about how idols are treated! We take a look at what these disturbing wreaths said and what happened!
In a troubling turn of events, BTS rapper and producer SUGA, known as Min Yoongi, is experiencing a wave of harsh criticism and harassment from some anti-fans after his recent DUI incident. This backlash has taken a troubling turn, with funeral wreaths being sent to HYBE, the label that represents BTS, demanding that SUGA be removed from the group.
The problem started on August 6 when SUGA had an accident while riding an electric scooter after drinking alcohol. Thankfully, he did not hurt anyone or damage anything.
However, this incident got a lot of media attention and made many people upset. After an investigation, SUGA was given a fine of 15 million KRW, which is about $11,000, by the Seoul Western District Prosecutor’s Office.
Even after the incident was resolved, some anti-fans have not stopped their attacks. Recently, they sent several funeral wreaths to the HYBE building where BTS is managed.
These wreaths usually show respect for someone who has passed away, but the messages attached to them are cruel, demanding SUGA’s removal from the group and even wishing harm upon him.
In response, SUGA’s loyal fans, ARMY, have come out in full support. Many fans visited the HYBE office, carrying signs and purple ribbons to show their love for SUGA. They want to remind everyone that he is more than just an idol, he is a human being who deserves respect.
One fan expressed their concern on Twitter, stating:
“If this continues, it will become a very bad K-pop culture. So disrespectful 💔”
Another highlighted the broader implications, saying:
“The Korean industry is disgusting,”
Showing how many people are upset about how idols are treated in this intense fan culture.
This situation is similar to what happened with Seunghan from the group RIIZE. He was removed from his group after personal photos were shared online. This happened after fans protested outside SM Entertainment with funeral wreaths, showing how serious fan reactions can be in K-pop.
As this troubling trend goes on, it raises questions about how idols are treated and what fans expect from them. Many people are calling for a change in idol culture, asking for more kindness and understanding instead of harsh criticism.
SUGA has also responded by sending letters of apology to fans and focusing on his public service work.
With the ARMY strongly supporting SUGA, there is hope for a kinder and more understanding K-pop community, where the well-being of idols is more important than drama and harsh judgments.
