As the fan rift reached its climax, many came to support SUGA, voicing strong opposition against such rumors. They also started posting with the BTS member’s song Snooze lyrics, “Everything will be okay”, clarifying that it wasn’t ARMYs who sent the wreaths.
Fans have called for unity among them in order to protect SUGA and BTS from further speculation.
For the unversed, SUGA recently got caught in a DUI incident after he was spotted driving an electric scooter under the influence of alcohol. On the night of August 6, he fell from the scooter in front of his house. A nearby patrolling officer came to assist him and noticed the alcohol smell. He was shortly taken to the local police station and after an initial statement, was escorted back to his house.
The matter took a turn when reports emerged about SUGA’s high blood alcohol content at the time of the incident. Although the police have reiterated the exact figure can’t be confirmed, it has been revealed his blood alcohol level was high enough to get his license revoked.
