Protest trucks demanding SUGA's departure from BTS begin making rounds around the HYBE building

Protest trucks funded by some members of BTS’s official fan club, ARMY, have begun making their rounds around HYBE headquarters in Yongsan as of the morning of August 16 KST.

The protest trucks contained messages demanding that SUGA, who was previously booked by police on August 7 for operating an electric scooter while intoxicated, leave BTS. 

The protest trucks displayed the following messages:

1. You told fans to hold their heads high but then went and committed a DUI.

2. Today is D-Day when drunk driver SUGA leaves BTS.

3. You kicked BTS’s 11-year career to the curb. No one drives drunk better than you.

4. 7-1=6. ARMY will fill in the gap, so drunk driver SUGA OUT.

5. SUGA is a drunk driver. A criminal should leave the group.

6. Driving under the influence = illegal. Driving a scooter on the sidewalk = illegal. Illegal act + illegal act = SUGA.

7. SUGA, just leave the group of your own will before you disgrace yourself any further.

8. The hand that we held onto, you flung it away. 

9. HYBE harbors criminals, while SUGA hides behind his company.

Meanwhile, earlier this week on August 13 KST, fans stationed 20 flower wreaths in front of the HYBE building, also demanding SUGA’s departure from BTS.
