Earlier today, Korea JoongAng Daily reported that some Korean fans of BTS have sent flower wreaths to HYBEâs headquarters calling for Suga to leave the boyband. Flower wreaths are typically associated with funerals as a way of sending oneâs condolences, but have also become a popular method of protest in South Korea.
According to the news outlet, the wreaths carried messages demanding he leave the group, such as âwithdraw from the band, Min Yoon-gi (Sugaâs real name)â and âMin Yoon-gi, leave the group before standing in front of the photo line [taking a press photo before entering the police station] because itâs embarrassingâ.
Other messages read: âCongratulations on your downfallâ, âHow could you let us hear your life updates on the newsâ, âArenât you sorry for your fansâ and âYou are the one who let go of our handsâ. The news outlet noted that the flower wreaths do not represent BTSâ fanbase as a whole, but were sent by individual fans calling for Sugaâs departure.
Suga is set to be questioned by the police regarding the circumstances of the incident. According to Korea Times, the investigation will likely revolve around whether or not Suga was aware that he was violating the Road Traffic Act, which prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol.
In a statement following the incident, the rapper apologised and confessed to consuming alcohol before riding home on the electric scooter, but said he was unaware that the act violated the Road Traffic Act. Suga admitted to his âcomplacent thinking that it was a short distanceâ and apologised for âmy failure to recognize that using an electric scooter while intoxicated was prohibitedâ.
