Alarming Online Trend Emerges in Support of BTS’s Suga Amid DUI Controversy

According to reports, he was discovered riding an electric scooter while under the influence of alcohol. A breathalyzer test was conducted, which showed a blood alcohol level of 0.227% (equivalent to being almost completely intoxicated). The electric scooter he was operating is not considered a slower personal mobility device, such as an electric kickboard, but is more comparable to driving a car while intoxicated. CCTV footage also captured him riding on a main road among other vehicles.

As the situation continues to worsen, there has been an increasing demand for Suga to leave the group.

Recently, there has been a concerning development where certain netizens have started a trend known as “#SugaChallenge”. This trend consists of people consuming alcohol while in their personal vehicles, which not only goes against the law but also poses a significant risk as it encourages reckless driving and DUI behavior.

The netizens are urging others to join in on this challenge as a way to demonstrate their support for Suga.

Despite the abundance of posts concerning the challenge on X (formerly Twitter), there are doubts surrounding the validity of this trend. Some speculate that it could be a satirical response or a misguided effort by fans to redirect focus away from Suga’s controversy. Nevertheless, regardless of the intention, these posts are promoting hazardous actions and should not be dismissed.

There has been a range of reactions to the trend, with certain individuals expressing apprehension regarding its potential negative impact:

– This has crossed the line.

– This is extremely risky.

“It appears that this could potentially be sarcasm, which is a relief. However, it could still have a detrimental effect.”

It is concerning how they are making light of DUIs and disregarding the seriousness of having a blood alcohol level of 0.22%. This is certainly not a positive influence.

– It can be difficult to determine whether they are making fun of him or if they genuinely admire him, as that particular fan base has a tendency to create false narratives.

Recently, a concerning drinking and driving challenge has been circulating among Army members as a way to show support for BTS member Suga, who has been involved in a DUI controversy.
