The incident has divided the fanbase, with some supporting Suga’s withdrawal and others opposing it.

Withdrawal Demands for Suga Due to Drunk Driving Incident

BTS member Suga (real name Min Yoongi, 31) is facing growing demands for his withdrawal after being charged with drunk driving. On August 13, photos of floral wreaths demanding Suga’s withdrawal were shared online. These wreaths were placed outside the HYBE building in Yongsan, Seoul, with messages like “Withdraw, Min Yoongi,” and “Withdraw before you stand in front of the press.” Approximately 20 such wreaths were displayed.

Fan-Led Protests for Suga and Calls for Withdrawal Outside BTS

The wreath protest was reportedly initiated by individual fans rather than a coordinated effort by the fandom. An anonymous fan stated, “These wreaths were sent individually. This is not a collective action by the fandom.” The fan explained that the protest began because HYBE and Big Hit Music issued a false statement after the incident and failed to take further action.

Social Media Campaigns for Suga and Reactions to Drunk Driving Incident

Some fans have taken to social media, launching a hashtag campaign on X (formerly Twitter) with phrases like “#OUT_Suga”. These fans are urging Suga’s withdrawal from BTS. Comments such as “We support BTS as six members” and “He should reflect on the harm caused by his drunk driving” have been prevalent in these online discussions.

Allegations of Negligence by Suga During Military Service

In addition to the drunk driving incident, there are accusations that Suga has been neglecting his duties as a social service agent during his alternative military service. Complaints have been filed with the Military Manpower Administration. Allegations include that Suga slept during his basic military training and did not properly participate in classes, despite being a team leader. These claims were reportedly made by another social service agent who trained with Suga.

Backlash from Suga Over Drunk Driving Incident and Calls for Withdrawal

On August 6, at approximately 11:15 PM, Suga was charged with violating traffic laws due to drunk driving on a road in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. He reportedly drove an electric scooter about 500 meters after drinking with acquaintances. While parking the vehicle, he fell and was later found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.227%, far exceeding the license cancellation threshold of 0.08%. This incident has sparked significant criticism online, especially on the Korean community site theqoo.

Divided Fan Reactions to Suga and Potential Withdrawal

The backlash has led to growing calls for Suga’s withdrawal from BTS on theqoo, with many fans expressing disappointment. They believe Suga’s behavior contrasts sharply with that of other BTS members who have received awards for their military service. While some argue that the allegations of negligence are still unconfirmed, and that sleeping during training is not uncommon among social service agents, others see Suga’s extreme intoxication as indicative of his overall attitude. Despite the negative atmosphere, Suga still has supporters, both domestically and internationally. These fans oppose his withdrawal from BTS, though they remain largely silent amid the controversy.

International fans, in particular, have shown more leniency toward the incident, and even within Korea, nearly half of Suga’s fans do not want him to leave BTS. Given this divided sentiment, it remains uncertain whether Suga will voluntarily withdraw from the group.
