Samsung Deletes Suga Post Amid DUI Controversy

The Samsung Deutschland account posted an image of Suga promoting the Galaxy S24 Ultra on August 15. Additionally, a poll and photos of RM and Jimin were also shared in a separate tweet. However, the Samsung Deutschland account quickly removed both tweets featuring Suga soon after they were published.

It is believed that the removals are linked to Suga’s ongoing DUI case. Following the idol’s arrest for driving under the influence, more information was revealed, including CCTV footage related to the event.

It’s very sad how Yoongi is such a loyal Samsung fan but you deleted your post about him because of kmedia pressure. We were very happy you were supporting him but then you let him down. Please repost the picture.NO SUGA, NO SAMSUNG #KMediaareBullies #KMediaStopBullying https://t.co/gLhQP8QzMa

Over the years, BTS has formed a partnership with Samsung, beginning with a joint effort to launch a new phone. This collaboration has since grown to include exclusive merchandise, including Samsung devices with a BTS theme. The group’s members have been prominently featured in various promotions and advertisements, both as a collective and as individuals. As a result, there is a belief among netizens that Samsung is worried about the potential negative impact of Suga’s scandal on their brand image.

According to reports, approximately 30 floral tributes were placed in front of the HYBE building, bearing messages such as “Min Yoongi, step down” and “Resign as a way to show gratitude for the love given by ARMY.”
