K-pop supergroup BTS's global fanbase has rallied behind member Suga following his recent drunk driving incident, firmly rejecting calls for his departure from the band.
In a joint statement released on Monday, 127 BTS fan organizations representing 58 countries expressed their unwavering support for all seven BTS members. The statement came in response to the controversy surrounding Suga, who was referred to prosecutors last month for allegedly driving an electric scooter under the influence in Seoul.
On Saturday, a small group of individuals claiming to be members of BTS's official fandom, ARMY, called for Suga to leave the group as a form of accountability for the incident, arguing that it had brought shame to the band.
The Global ARMY Union, however, swiftly issued a statement on social media platform X, both in Korean and English, declaring its unwavering support for all seven BTS members. The union emphasized that it does not expect BTS members to assume more responsibility than is legally required and that decisions about the group's future should not be forced upon them by external parties.
The incident has sparked a heated debate within the BTS fandom, with the majority of fans expressing their belief that Suga should be given a second chance and that his actions should not overshadow the group's achievements and positive impact.
While the situation remains ongoing, BTS fans worldwide continue to stand united behind their favorite group, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty and support for all seven members.
