[+201, -7] His entire letter was a lie. He said he had one beer, but his alcohol level was high enough to revoke his license. He said he fell and the police came, but in reality he fell and fell asleep and someone reported him, and that's why the police showed up. He said he was near his house, but CCTV showed that he was far away from his house, drinking and driving. The other members are all normal, so what's wrong with him?

– [+37, -3] Oh my, you slept in the middle of the street?? You must have wanted to get some attention because you weren't popular ㅜㅜ

[+19, -2] That's drunk driving, goodbye to your job.

– [+7, -0] It's just lol to break a kickboard like that

[+164, -40] Just leave the group. DUI is attempted murder. If you have any shame, retire from the industry.

[+118, -2] This is probably the biggest scandal that has tarnished BTS's image;; What did the other members do to cause this to happen?

[+36, -1] Zero Sugar

[+21, -0] What's more legendary to me is that he drank and rode his scooter knowing he couldn't call a taxi.

[+9, -50] He didn't do drugs or commit murder, people are just exaggerating. He did something wrong, and you're all witch-hunting him.

[+8, -0] Kick it out before it becomes like victory

[+4, -0] Hybe is an amazing company in many ways.

[+11,000] What is he going to do? It's time for Zeroshu to go lol

[+4,100] There is no place where drunk driving should be tolerated. Whether you are a member of BTS or driving an electric scooter or kickboard… act according to the law. Every life in this world is precious, and no matter how precious you are, you should face the same consequences of the law as any other precious life.

[+3,900] I personally love BTS songs and listen to them often, but the fans who protect him should listen up. If you really love him, you should know that you should criticize him when he does something wrong. Imagine if his scooter hit one of your family members from behind… DUI is attempted murder. Never forget that.

[+3,700] I wonder how frustrated the other members are ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He's driving drunk while doing public service ㅋㅋㅋ

[+4,300] Suga tries to show his 'respectable idol' image through wise words and such on variety shows and YouTube, but he's actually incompetent;;

[+1,600] Is he just trying to act realistic and wise to ruin the team image while his younger siblings are struggling in this heat?

[+3,000] The fact that he got caught once means he's probably done it dozens or hundreds of times already, and the odds of getting caught are slim. Imagine if he hit someone with his scooter?

[+1,300] Sugar, lol seriously… The fans waited for a year and now this kind of news is coming out ㅠ What did the other members do to make this happen?

[+1,200] He is the only BTS member who is in public office due to a past motorcycle accident, and he always talks about his injured shoulder in his lyrics and how much pain it caused him. And this is the news we all got after all this…

[+1,000] Drunk driving is not protected… It really feels like everything they worked so hard to achieve is being destroyed. How can you lose everything to a drunk driving like this?

[+1,100] Basically, if I had fallen and gotten up and gone home, I wouldn't have been caught… But if I fell and just passed out… How drunk must I have been?…

[+975] As a long-time fan, I find it not only disappointing… but actually ridiculous. Just a wake-up call to show that he's all talk. As someone who had to leave office after suffering a shoulder injury in a motorcycle accident, I never thought he'd cause a drunken scooter accident among all the scandals…
