A post titled “Male idols who have departed from their groups due to past drunk-driving incidents in the last 4 years” was uploaded on the Korean forum “theqoo” on August 7. This occurred shortly after reports emerged of BTS member Suga’s controversy involving drunk-driving while riding an electric scooter.
Specifically, the article mentioned that in June 2020, AB6IX’s Im Young-min, in October 2022, VICTON’s Heochan, and in November 2023, DKB’s Teo were all involved in driving under the influence, highlighting the concerning trend of at least one male idol being implicated in such behavior every year, resulting in their eventual withdrawal from the industry.
As a result, BTS member Suga’s case has sparked heated debate among netizens, with many discussing the possibility of him becoming the next “drunk-driving withdrawal”case.
The following are comments from internet users:
- The presence of drunk-drivers damages the group’s reputation, therefore they should be asked to leave.
- If the drunk-drivers don’t withdraw, their groups will become drunk driving groups, so withdrawal is almost certain
- It’s really interesting that they’re all men
- Recently, many people have been leaving the group. I also wish for a speedy recovery for the person who was in an accident today.
- I do not want to witness any celebrities who choose to drive while under the influence, regardless of whether they are idols or actors.
- The 1st and 2nd generations didn’t withdraw and continued, but from the 3rd generation onwards, most of them withdraw when they are caught
- Still, I doubt Suga will leave, BTS is an old group with a lot of fans
- All individuals who drive under the influence and shamelessly exploit their fans for financial gain should be removed.
