On September 14, a topic titled “BTS fans fight in front of the HYBE building today” was published on the Korean forum “theqoo”.
According to this topic, French fans of BTS’s Suga sent a food truck to the HYBE building on the same day, expressing their support for the male idol after his previous drunk-driving scandal.
However, upon learning about this, certain Korean fans sent plants with ribbons mocking BTS’s Suga, which said, “Suga’s fandom celebrating with a bread truck since he received 15 million won fine instead of prison”.
It is known that “bread” can be used as a word play to mean “go to prison” in Korea, making the situation rather ironic.
The supporters of Suga later removed the ribbon, only for another fan against Suga to appear in front of this food truck project by posting a scathing post.
This “fight” right in front of the HYBE building has since drawn significant attention, with most netizens jabbing at the support for Suga and the decision to send a bread truck.
Below are some comments from K-netizens:
- What the heck, it had to be a bread truck. This is hilarious since in our country, going to jail is called going to bread…
- Can someone please tell me what bread means to the French fans? I’m really curious to see their reactions lol
- Suga doesn’t say a word to his fans… He’s really evasive…
- I guess they didn’t know the meaning of bread because they were foreign fans LOL
- Why the bread truck, f*ck. Of course, people that cheer on a criminal can’t do things properly
- Min Yoongi, stop hiding and leave the group already
