K-netizens Mock BTS International Fans for Attempt to Boycott Korea

Despite Suga’s apology and the investigation that followed, the incident of him being caught driving under the influence has caused outrage among international BTS fans. Some are even calling for a boycott of South Korea. This situation has sparked heated discussions on the Korean forum “theqoo”.

In particular, the topic “Overseas Suga fans want to boycott Korea”includes a compilation of various screenshots of Tweets posted by BTS fans.

These Tweets express a range of sentiments, from wanting to stop supporting South Korea altogether because they believe it does not deserve it, to hoping for the country’s downfall at any cost, to suggesting a boycott of all South Korean products except for those related to BTS. These sentiments all convey the idea that fans of Suga, a member of BTS, may withdraw their support for South Korea, including its media and products.

Upon viewing these Tweets, K-netizens have displayed a mocking demeanor, as evidenced by some of their comments below:

Even so, HYBE pays taxes to South Korea with the money they spent on buying BTS goods and going to concerts…
Shouldn’t BTS be the first to be boycotted then?
How is it considered a boycott if you refuse to support Korea, yet still spend money on BTS?
“What is happening? This is hilariously funny, lol. Please focus on your own country.”
From the very start, they have been belittling Korea without investing any funds. Their actions will likely remain the same. However, it is a positive development that they are now carrying out their actions for free and without concern for others’ opinions.
If Korea fails, your BTS will fail too…
Even if they boycott it, it doesn’t have any negative effects on Korea at all
