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
