Following the recent DUI scandal involving BTS member Suga, HYBE headquarters has been the site of an unusual protest: funeral flowers and wreaths have been placed outside the building, allegedly by solo fans of Jungkook and Jin. These fans have expressed their discontent through the messages attached to the flowers, calling for Suga’s departure from the group.
The controversy erupted after Suga was found driving a scooter under the influence, a serious offense that has attracted significant media attention. In the wake of the incident, fans of the other BTS members, particularly Jungkook and Jin solos, have made their voices heard in a unique way, allegedly sending funeral flowers to convey their disappointment and demand action from HYBE.
Messages on the flowers read phrases such as “Suga Must Go” and “Respect BTS’s Legacy,” indicating the fans’ belief that Suga’s actions have damaged the group’s reputation. The choice of funeral flowers as a protest medium adds a dramatic and symbolic touch to the fans’ message, suggesting that they see Suga’s continued presence in the group as harmful to BTS’s future.
“We love BTS, but this is a line that can’t be crossed,” one anonymous fan is reported to have said online. “By sending these flowers, we hope HYBE understands the seriousness of the situation and takes appropriate action.”
HYBE has not released an official statement regarding the flower protest, but internal sources suggest that the company is carefully considering its next steps. The scandal has placed the company and BTS in a challenging position, as they balance fan expectations, public opinion, and the future of the group.
As the situation develops, fans and observers alike are watching to see how HYBE responds to the alleged solo fans’ actions and what it means for Suga and BTS as a whole. The incident highlights the complexities of fan dynamics and the impact of individual actions on a global group.
