"Suga says regaining trust is difficult, fans launch hate comment attacks"… Angry critics
Critic Jeong Min-jae: "The one who should apologize is not me but Suga who drove drunk"
"Even attacked my wife's SNS... disgusting feeling"
"Suga, why make me witness such outrageous behavior"
Jung Min-jae, a popular music critic, sharply criticized the misguided love of the group BTS fans.
On the 15th, Jung mentioned the recent controversy surrounding Suga's drunk driving incident on X (formerly Twitter). He said, "Regarding Suga's drunk driving, I told The Korea Times that I don't know if he will leave the group, but if he doesn't, it will be difficult to regain public trust, and domestic activities will not go smoothly. Then my X notifications and inbox went crazy demanding an apology. Perhaps the one who should formally apologize again is not Suga. Please get a grip."
Later, Jung posted again on his X account, saying, "There are people who even went to my wife's Instagram and left comments because of this incident. Fortunately, both my wife and I are used to these kinds of things, but I can't help feeling a bit disgusted." He mentioned the damage his family suffered. He continued, "Why on earth did Suga drive drunk and show such reckless behavior here and there? Is it so hard to live a decent life, obeying the law properly?" expressing his anger.
Jung also said, "The level of fandom hooliganism is beyond imagination. Earlier, I received an international call saying they were trying to change my Twitter password. No matter how suddenly your favorite star becomes a criminal overnight... does this make Suga's drunk driving disappear? Keep trying," sharply criticizing the fans' excessive behavior.
On the 6th, Suga was caught by the police while riding an electric scooter under the influence in the Yongsan-gu area of Seoul. He had been drinking with acquaintances at a restaurant near Hannam Five-way Intersection. Afterwards, he moved to his studio and was heading home on the scooter when he fell in front of his house gate. At the time, Suga stated, "I had one beer," but the measurement showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.227%, indicating severe intoxication.
