BTS' SUGA is once again making headlines due to his DUI case, despite it being resolved weeks ago through a summary indictment. Anti-fans have reignited controversy by sending funeral wreaths to HYBE, demanding his removal from BTS. The wreaths, bearing hateful messages, have gone so far as to brand the K-pop idol as a criminal, stirring up further tensions within the fandom. On October 20, a striking display of these wreaths appeared outside HYBE building, each one filled with hostile words aimed at SUGAโ€”mocking his music and outright calling for his expulsion from the group. Photos of the scene rapidly spread across social media, where anti-fans continued to fuel the fire. However, BTSโ€™ loyal fanbase, ARMY, swiftly mobilised to counteract the negativity with their unwavering support for the rapper. Fans took to the same venue with placards and hoardings, expressing their desire for BTS to remain a seven-member group.ย BTS Suga DUI Case: K-Pop Rapper Fined for Drunk Driving, Summary Indictment Issued by Seoul Prosecutors.

The support wasnโ€™t just localโ€”on X, the ARMY rallied with trending hashtags to amplify their message. They also voiced their disappointment in HYBE, accusing the company of not addressing the matter effectively. For those unfamiliar with the ongoing situation, this isnโ€™t the first instance of anti-fans staging such protests. When SUGAโ€™s DUI incident originally broke news on August 7, similar protests occurred, but ARMY launched a global "purple project" to show their solidarity with the artist.ย BTSโ€™ SUGA Drunk Driving Case: JTBC Newsroom Apologises for Releasing Wrong CCTV Footage; KBS Issues Statement on Channel Ban.

Now, fans are frustrated that this issue is being dragged out even though SUGA has already faced the legal consequences of his actions. With the case closed, ARMY remains steadfast, continuing to back the rapper and stand against the negative backlash, determined to see their favourite group whole and united.
