Suga 'smeared' BTS, was kicked out of the group, and had no way back to Kpop

The members of the BTS group have recently completed their military service. The boys are actively focusing and preparing for their comeback in the Kpop market. However, social media continuously suggests that BTS and the company should remove Suga from the group because of the noise.

Although all 7 BTS members have completed their military service and fans around the world are eagerly awaiting their long-awaited reunion, the aftermath of Suga's drunk driving incident is becoming a "time bom.b". The scanda.l not only directly affects the male idol's personal image but also causes a strong wave of opposition from the fan community, who are strongly demanding a severe punishment to protect the group's reputation.

Recently, a shocking petition was submitted to KBS's audience petition portal, demanding that Suga be punished and restricted from appearing on national television. The petitioner, representing the voice of a segment of fans, not only requested that KBS convene a special committee to consider it, but also implied that the punishment should be severe, possibly including a permanent ban, in order to set an example and protect BTS's reputation.

The petition highlights the seriousness of the act: "Drunk driving is a serious crime that can directly harm the lives of others. Suga is a public figure with significant influence, especially among young people. His appearance on television with such influence could undermine society's general awareness of the dangers of drunk driving."

The petition also points out that KBS has never held a review committee on the incident. With Suga discharged from the military and the fine confirmed, the petitioner asks KBS to take prompt action to “secure the trust of viewers and fulfill its responsibilities as a public broadcaster,” implicitly stating that lenient treatment will not be accepted.

When "stain" turns into "obsession": Is the punishment worth waiting for from KBS?

The petition is not without basis. Previously, KBS has imposed broadcasting bans on many public figures who were caught drunk driving, such as actor Kwak Do Won, singer Kim Ho Joong, and the late actress Kim Sae Ron. This has made the fan community very hopeful and closely follow how KBS will handle Suga’s case, hoping that an appropriate punishment will be given to set an example.

Last year, Suga was charged with drunk driving. On August 6, around 9 p.m., he had dinner and drinks with an acquaintance at a restaurant near the Hannam intersection. They then went to a nearby studio to continue drinking. At around 11 p.m. that same day, the male idol drove an electric scooter on the sidewalk by himself, passing a public bus stop.

At around 11:10 p.m., while passing three riot police on patrol, Suga suddenly lost his balance and fell. His helmet flew onto the road. Immediately, the police approached and took Suga to the police station.

Fans are outraged: "Smearing ashes and chaff" on BTS's reputation, demanding their elimination to "save" it!

For many fans, Suga’s drunk driving incident was not just a personal mistake, but also an extremely disappointing act. Suga and his management company HYBE Labels were heavily criticized for their evasive statements, lack of transparency, and signs of downplaying the severity of the scanda.l.

This is said to have seriously damaged the reputation of BTS – a group that has always prided itself on its clean image and positive messages. Many fans expressed outrage that while the other members were dutifully completing their military service, Suga’s actions were seen as “smearing ashes and chaff” on the group’s overall reputation. As a result, the fandom was deeply divided, with a large part of the public asking Suga to leave BTS to protect the group’s future and image.

BTS's reunion is an event that the whole world has been waiting for, but the cracks left by Suga's incident are raising a big question: Will HYBE listen to the angry voices of some fans and make a tough decision to protect the group's overall image, or will they take the risk and face the growing dissatisfaction from the public? The final decision will greatly affect the future of this "global music group".
