Suga’s fans unite to defend BTS star amid controversy

Suga continues to encounter challenging circumstances following his resolved DUI incident.

Despite the court's summary, his sincere public apology, the revocation of his license, and a hefty fine, the BTS member has found himself at the center of negativity. 

Haters are sending funeral wreaths to the HYBE office, BTS' management agency, demanding his exclusion from the band.

It’s important to note that sending funeral flowers to a living person is considered illegal in South Korea, as it can be interpreted as a death threat.

However, the Fire singer's devoted fandom has stood by him during this turmoil, rallying to his defence with trending hashtags to combat the hate speech, organising truck displays in support, and recently launching the Purple Ribbon campaign.

Photos circulating on social media show fans forming purple ribbons in solidarity with the K-pop idol while trucks play Suga’s songs to express their support.

The situation began in August when the 31-year-old South Korean rapper was involved in a DUI case related to an electric scooter.

Although he publicly apologised and took responsibility, anti-fans remained adamant about his removal from BTS.

After months of investigation, Suga was fined 15 million won for his offence, but the controversy continues to linger.
