BTS fans 'disappointed' over Suga's drunk driving with some demanding he leaves the group: 'It was a reckless act'

FROM DATUK DR MAH HANG SOON Deputy MCA President

BTS’s dedicated fanbase, known as Army, is sharply divided over the recent drunk driving by Suga. While some fans express disappointment and even call for his departure from the band, others argue that such criticism is excessive and that Suga should be given privacy to deal with the situation.

The protest was a spontaneous act by individual fans rather than an organized effort by the fandom, according to press reports. "I am concerned about Suga's mental and emotional health because of situations that he has discussed regarding his past struggles with mental health, especially considering what happened recently with Lee Sun-kyun," Cassie Stewart, a BTS fan in Connecticut, United States, said on Thursday.

Music critic Lim Hee-yun pointed out that the high expectations placed on K-pop artistes by local fans are deeply rooted in the K-pop culture.
