BTS fans have shown their support for SUGA during his ongoing drunk driving trial by hanging various soothing banners with heartwarming messages for the idol outside the HYBE agency. SUGA is under investigation after he was found drunk on an electric scooter. On August 6, he fell on the road while on his way home and was spotted by three police officers patrolling the area.
They noticed the smell of alcohol and took him to the local police station. The incident attracted widespread public attention and SUGA apologized for disappointing his fans and causing concern. BTS fans have been vocal in their support for SUGA on the matter. They expressed their solidarity by posting heartfelt “I love you” messages on trending news, charting and promoting his solo songs, and now hanging reassuring banners near HYBE’s building.
The messages on the reassuring banners include BTS lyrics including “Got army right behind you when you say so,” SUGA’s lyric “Future’s gonna be okay,” and their own heartwarming messages “We love you Min Yoongi,” and finally “BTS is seven.” Check them out below:
Jang Yi Jeong, better known as EL CAPITXN, recently showed his strong support for his friend and collaborator SUGA during this difficult time for the BTS star. On August 23, EL CAPITXN celebrated the return of their song Snooze to the Billboard charts, which is a remarkable achievement given the circumstances. Snooze, a track from SUGA’s solo album D-2 under his pseudonym Agust D, not only showcases EL CAPITXN’s production skills, but also features contributions from the late Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto and Woosung of The Rose.
Additionally, EL CAPITXN updated one of his pinned Instagram reels, changing the caption to “Everything will be OK.” This heartfelt message serves as a supportive gesture to SUGA during his current legal challenges. Following SUGA’s first court appearance on August 23, his track Polar Night under his pseudonym Agust D shot to No. 1 on the global iTunes song chart, making it the first time it reached that peak a year after its original release. As the night progressed, all of the tracks from Agust D’s D-DAY album began to chart on the global iTunes charts, with Snooze, Haegeum, The Last, and others returning to the charts.
Most notably, Agust D became the only artist with the most songs (five) at No. 1 on the iTunes Country Charts worldwide, with Haegeum, Polar Night, Snooze, The Last and People leading the way. On the morning of August 24, The Last, originally released in 2016, reached No. 1 on iTunes in the US for the first time, over eight years after its release. Currently, Agust D’s tracks are at No. 1 on iTunes in 58 countries, with Polar Night leading the chart in 40 of them.
