BTS‘ Suga, known for making smooth beats, hit a sour note recently when he was caught driving an electric scooter under the influence on August 6, 2024. The situation quickly turned into a social media storm, with anti-fans taking part in a wild trend dubbed #TheSugaChallenge, where they post sarcastic “support messages” alongside pictures of bottles and alcoholic drinks.
The BTS member, who admitted to the slip-up and apologized to his fans, is facing the consequences as Yongsan Police Station revoked his license and slapped him with a fine. Despite the drama, the idol is halfway through his military service and is set to be discharged in 2025. What’s more, his debut solo album “D-Day” serves as a reminder of his upcoming music talents.

As Suga serves out the rest of his military duty, this incident might be a problem, but his journey as an artist and idol is far from over. The #TheSugaChallenge might be trending, but Suga is still the one setting the beat, making haters talk to his rhythm!
