[SUGA FREE EDITION] BTS Suga Has Nothing to Be Ashamed Of

[@eileencritchley4630]

ARMY didn't require that apology the first one on Weverse was enough.

[@marjaloggen2649]

The first one was not even necessary for me. But that's just me.

[@ARMY-MR]

No apology was needed.

[@CozyIm]

The apology for this is not for fans to accept. Majority of you all are not even Korean so his apology has nothing to do with you. He committed a “crime” in Korea that endangered Korean public and himself, his apology is to those involved. While I do think it’s a bit blown out of proportion I do think they’re making an example of him because he’s a big artist and they want to make sure citizens do not follow his lead. Yes he was harmless but imagine if he mistakenly went in the road and cars getting to avoid him. That’s why it’s illegal. Even in the US some states it is illegal to ride a bike drunk. It’s because safe drivers might try to over compensate & not hit you. They’re making an example of him and overdoing it but an apology should’ve been good enough. Meanwhile the NCT guy is given his respect and privacy for months.

[@nancyortega2835]

From the beginning he had nothing to be ashamed of, it was a simple accident , he didn’t hurt anyone , but the Korean media wanted to destroy him ,but they realized that the ARMY from over the world supported him .I hope they finally leave him alone .Nothing and no one will make changes my administration and affection to Suga and not just for him but for all of BTS I love my beautiful boys 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️💜💜💜💜

[@Chill_Jill]

Today, I've heard that Army is making lists of names of SK journalists and reporters who have been fair/respectful to BTS and those who have not.

[@ystrw]

K-pop Shock's Reporter Kim was saying that the Korean rumor-mill is talking about media shows banning Suga. Which would mean banning all of BTS, because you know our guys are not going to show up to any event that doesn't welcome all seven of them. Meanwhile, all the major networks in the US, Canada, the UK, across Europe, and Japan, are already lining up to get BTS on their shows in 2025-26. And their own country might ban them. That is so completely messed up, I can't quite compute; not that BTS ever needed home media exposure (which is why K-media resents them so much), but the sheer lack of self-awareness and the potential consequences is incredible.

[@bjL_bora]

Someone should share that list for all ARMYs to know🤔😅💜

[@erikascencen]

[@Emgee78]

Army are renown for documenting anything and everything when it comes to BTS.

[@emilyl1094]

​@@erikascencenIf those reporters and journalists had not been spreading fake news and false informations destroying Suga's reputation, character and career, Armys would not be taking down names. Their false and relentless reporting used to fatally cause some celebrities' lives. Yet they had escaped punishment and continued to cause harm with sensationalised fake news.

[@wandalewis5097]

3 Hours. Ridiculous. You’d think he hurt somebody or killed somebody. It’s a shame looking at this from America. BTS’S own Country trying to tear them down. Hold your head up high Suga. Army loves you and BTS. And will always stand by you and the members 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️❤️🌹🌺

[@IThink2Much]

3 hours was bad enough. But I was just glad they didn't do what they did to Lee Sun-kyun and interrogate him for 19 hours. They didn't even have a positive drug test or anything more solid than rumors and they still hounded that poor man.

[@teasersmuchee]

Like really 3hrs for falling off a bike, these people are ridiculous, unbelievable. Suga, stay strong, the love for you is insurmountable , everything gonna be alright. love love you

[@mrlh.8455]

[@OlivePapyrus]

I just know the questions were hilariously foolish.😂😂

[@Colorid2301]

The international audience and press were shocked by how the incident was blown out of proportion by Kmedia. It was laughable and despicable at the same time. Those reporters who were unleashing a witch-hunting campaign and painting Suga as a criminal failed. Many international outlets wrote an article about the incident and you can see how they were confused about why this was painted by Kmedia as a huge scandal. I personally would doubt the professionalism of those Korean journalists who participated in this harassment campaign. It is just shameful.

[@staycee639]

Agreed, internationally many of the issues brought up of kdrama and kpop stars are so silly in a western perspective, none issues. Kmedia is scary and dangerous. I think of all the stars who end up committing suicide because of all that chaos

[@starshine9016]

Stay strong Suga and Armys! In my opinion, it has nothing to do with "how the people feel" and more about what narrative the main stream media wants to "let the people feel." This is an absolute slam on BTS and on dear Suga. These 7 men have never done anything bad. All they've done is dedicate their younger years to their country and to their fans. The fellas have worked so soooo hard to stay flawless in an industry filled with corruption and manipulation. I am stunned at this. I thought they were loved in SK. It is so sad, they gave their all... only to get this sort of treatment in return. Disappointing.

[@eileencritchley4630]

It's not just disappointing it's disgusting and vendictive, vile bullying.

[@tetiana_sun]

Korean society's jealousy of BTS doesn't end: 1- attacks on the guys on the issue of military service 2- demands to hold a concert in Busan in support of the choice of the future world exhibition 3- questions to Suga about alternative service 4- dissatisfaction with the titles awarded (none of the idols had them before) The flow of complaints from society does not stop. Black jealousy - you very correctly indicated it in the video.

[@Linocookies]

they majorly contribute to their economy and yet they get disrespected ..

[@dondons27]

Whilst discussing this with fellow Army, we came to this conclusion. BTS have travelled the world teaching self love and being true to yourself and gaining a great reputation which also included their country of origin South Korea. Then this incident with Suga occurred. In a few days the Korean media have completely destroyed the countries reputation that BTS had nurtured. The whole world has watched this and no one is impressed. And to do this to one of the very people who brought South Korea to people's attention too. Talk about an own goal. They have lost credibility and now seem untrustworthy. I know it's not all media but unfortunately the rest will be tarnished by this episode. BTS have done so much for their country and are so patriotic. They truly love South Korea and they must be so hurt by all of this. I pray that Suga is okay and am glad that Jin is no longer in the military. He is just what Suga needs right now. We know he came be goofy and silly but he is also straight talking and no nonsense. I adore all 7 of these guys and my life is better for having them in it. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It means a lot.

[@maryr1905]

So the jealousy is so over the top that if they cannot take down BTS, they will destroy all the good that BTS has done for South Korea, like you said. It really is unbelievable!

[@alsosprachZarathustra-fi2pm]

there is deep love between Suga and Jin, and they were roommates--there is footage where Suga sought Jin's advice.

[@IntotheBangtanUniverseWormhole]

[@shadygladefarm]

@dondons27 after this episode I would NEVER consider visiting South Korea or spending any of my money there.

[@dondons27]

@shadygladefarm I've seen quite a few people saying this so your not alone.

[@meganw.4457]

His apology letter upset me so much. Obviously I had to read a translation. So there was no nuance, and he really did seem defeated. I was so worried about his mental state. It was also weird that he never called us ARMY. If you know BTS lore, they have always been careful to make a distinction between "regular fans" and ARMY. So people were trying to figure out what that could be about. More optimistic people suggested that he was trying to distance ARMY out of a sense of protectiveness. But everyone knows who his fandom is. So that really didn't make sense to me. I was thinking perhaps it was that he knows he doesn't need to apologize to ARMY, because we don't require this act of humiliation over such a silly incident. So the apology was for the regular fans and the types of people who would want such a statement. But I don't know. The elephant in the room is how damaging this situation is to his mental health. Naturally, given the history in kpop with tragedy, ARMY is scared for him. We realize he can't just say whatever he would naturally want to say to us right now. It's been really hard not knowing anything about how he's coping. On the one hand, he's very strong and has a rebellious streak that could be keeping him from becoming depressed over this. On the other hand, he has issues with anxiety and a history of having depression, and being the "first big scandal" of BTS could really be messing with his head. ARMY is pretty desperate to be sure he knows we love him. The haters and antis have been absolutely despicable. It's more obvious on X, where people have trended malicious hashtags, pretending to be ARMY who want him to leave the group. Lots of other ugliness too. I hope he's avoiding social media and has people who love him only showing him the good things. Obviously, ARMY would NEVER, EVER ask him to leave. As if the other members would agree to keep going w/out him. No way. So I really hope he's coping well. Shame seems to be a very big deal in Korea. I hope people like you and others keep speaking out, and pointing out how vicious and backwards this type of witch hunt is. Because that's the truth. There's absolutely no rational reason for this. None. "The culture is just different." I'm sorry, but hate crosses cultural lines. It's a universal evil. I'm seeing so many ARMYs expressing deep disappointment in South Korea for allowing this sort of thing to happen to a man who has helped uplift the country to such a high degree. But people are seeing the dark side now. This issue with jealousy and hounding celebrities to death is shameful. It SHOULD embarrass people. It's been so hard for international ARMYs, because we want to shower him with love and visible support, but K ARMYs have warned us and told us that doing that kind of thing in Korea would have a negative backlash. I have had a hard time understanding that. But the way you explained the emotion of jealousy and what jealous people want, it actually makes sense now. Brazenly showing love in a spectacular way would make them hate him even more. So we've had to keep all the loud support on the international side. Thank you for this thorough breakdown, and thank you for your take on his letter. It's more hopeful. I really just want him to be ok, and to know that ARMY forgave his accident with the very first apology. Immediately. We love him relentlessly. If he sees all this love, it's probably making him cringe. 😅 But he needs to see it! Because it's the truth! Thank you again. I really appreciate what you're doing w your channel, trying to help us understand the nuance of these important issues like MHJ, Scooter-gate, etc. It has been very helpful to me. 💜🙏🏼

[@alkim1519]

Muy de acuerdo contigo. Suga se encontró con la tormenta perfecta ya que en su empresa se estaba librando una batalla de poderes y querían mantener el último movimiento totalmente en silencio y el escándalo de Suga venía muy bien y Bang escondido por si acaso le llovía algo. Había otros escándalos en marcha también. Echarle a las fieras de esta manera para mí es completamente vergonzoso. Por otro lado Suga efectivamente es y será el rebelde del grupo. No creo que Bang consiga nunca doblegarle. Ahora es un hombre hecho y derecho con sus convicciones bien ancladas y no cambiará nada. Será mucho más prudente y se pensará mucho en quien confía. Seguirá siendo ese rebelde que le grita a la luna y que todos amamos. Una cena, unos ¿amigos? Una llamada a la policía y ya está la espiral en marcha. Quizás lo que quiso ser una lección se fue completamente de las manos y eso Suga no lo olvidará nunca.

[@ivanatrip4504]

The situation has been concerning if you consider SUGA's past struggles with mental health. He really is getting beat up beyond the point of ridiculousness. I am confident that he has developed coping mechanisms and a support system to help him through it. After seeing Suchwita, it is amazing how many friends he has and how many people care about him. SUGA truly is a sweetheart. He is kind and generous, and really doesn't deserve this treatment. I hope he feels the love of ARMY more than the hate. Thanks to all the k-celebs who have come out and expressed support for him. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😺

A lot of K-ARMYs are speaking up to say that their country is treating BTS so badly, they'll encourage/be supportive of BTS simply leaving.

I was reading an article today about a scientific study where it came to light that about 50 % of koreans suffer from chronic anger and thought about this scandal. They have to direct that anger and jealousy somewhere so their celebrities suffer. The ones who had less money were more angry. Would make sense that they would want to bring rich celebrities down how ever they can. That's maybe why the anti-culture is so strong. Just a thought.

Another thing... when you mentioned North vs. South Korea and the jealousy thing. I was thinking about freedom of speech. I see all these South Korean Tiktokers that would like to spill the tea but can't because of the crazy defamation laws.

Then to find out that what he rode doesn't even require a license? What he did didn't MAKE anyone feel anything; ADULTS are in charge of their own feelings. ADULTS take responsibility for what they continue to think and feel after knee-jerk reactions are over with. The dark jealousy you're speaking about and the need to blame someone else for how they're feeling about themselves just shows me that those who reacted the worst need to do a lot of growing up.

I really appreciate your channel and it is now one of the only Korean "news," sources that I can trust: You edited this video for his fans and his dignity. Mad respect for listening like that and showing a level of respect we will never see from K-media. After reading Suga's last apology and hearing about the police station incident, I am so proud of how he continues to carry himself, but also disgusted things have been pushed to this level. It's really sick and mental that something so little can be blown out of proportion like this. It breaks my heart to see how quick Koreans are to tear each other down. No country is perfect, but what South Korea needs now, is for everyone to support and uplift their society, especially the youth. Also: thank you so much for your amazing breakdown of Suga's apology letter, something I didnt even know i needed. Wonderful incite. that has brought me more hope. ❤

Just to say, you can also trust Reporter Kim at K-Pop Shock. He's a solid ARMY and though he doesn't go into the kind of detail Sean does (at least, not in English) he does bring facts. He also has some sources in the music industry and so occasionally offers some 'sources are saying' tidbits that often turn out accurate.

[@crgirrard4210]

Thanks for all of the information and balance. I think the media has actually lost a lot here and have been exposed for the sick childish things they are. Now if only people will stop listening and watching them and helping them create the stir. I did look at some pictures of Suga from secondary sources, like yourself, not the main media videos at the police station but only to try to see how he is doing. His well being has been my only concern and I agree with you I think he looked more annoyed than anything else.

[@secretadmirer5006]

Thank you for this edited version. And also thanks for being one of the very few reliable sources of information, as well as providing cultural insight on this & other topics.

[@kiki12307ify]

Thank you for removing the police station photos/ video. It's very much appreciated. I do like your take on moist things involving Korean society.

[@mo-music9077]

Thank you ❤ as I said it was a set up and they have no case. And yes he was eleqount and they look so cheap. Violating everything they could. The backlash international is huge. These south korean reporters are now known as blackmailers, and fake globally shaming their own people and country. Good job done, and not to restore. However Suga is Loved worldwide.

[@zaingel8112]

Thank you, so much for your consideration.🙏💜

[@trcykaufman]

It’s super ironic, that the rest of the world did not give this ANY attention , at all. Even though there was a world star involved, it wasn’t considered important enough to report on……IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FALSE REPORTING, NEWS CHANNELS PLAYING FALSE VIDEOS, AND THE OVER-THE -TOP POLICE ACTIONS, THAT PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, TURNED THEIR EYES TO THE TOXIC KOREAN CULTURE. 😢😢

[@alicegomez673]

Thank you so much for the re-edit. Just seeing those pictures hurts my heart. I truly appreciate it!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@anthideagiusmuscat445]

I am from the Mediterranean and have no personal connections with SK or persons of Asian descent. From watching KDrama, to my astonishment I realised that heavy drinking is a "social weapon". A weapon which is used to reinforce social disparities of all hues & origin. A phenomenon unknown in my part of world, the Republic of Malta. Alcohol is enjoyed & also often abused of!; acknowledged as a potential addictive substance that predisposes to health problems & antisocial behaviours but its use "as a social" weapon is never contemplated or countenanced. What happens in SK says much as to the true nature of today's South Korean society. So much for the "soft" cultural power of KPop or KDrama! This turn of events involving Suga is showcasing what the true face of South Korea is .... and it is not a pretty or entertaining one.

Thank you so much for re edit. Tĥank you for keeping us updated💟

[@johannaindira]

Thank you so much for editing it. It shows how much a respectful and considerate person you are. Thank you for the content and for not entertain that people that just want to take Yoongi down.

[@Super_Chamchi]

Thank you for the edit, ARMYs really appreciate it. 💜

[@MsBazoomba]

Thanks for re-editing and removing that part of Yoongi with the K-Media.

[@ceisenstein]

His apology is actually the lyrics to his newest song to be released after he is discharged! (You know there will be a song!)

[@JKsHelloKitty71]

Thank you so much Sean for the re-edit video and not showing any of the unnecessary pressure Yoongi went through at the police station. I agree with what you had to say 100% and something needs to be done about the k-media, what they write and how they handle themselves. I hope when BTS returns, that in true BTS style, one of the first songs they write and put out is about the haters and the bs that is the k-media as that would be perfect karma on top of what us Army along with other Korean celebrities have accomplished in support for Yoongi! APOBANGPO, BTS = 7

[@mini_g8948]

Thank you for the info and not giving the ill-gotten images/videos from the K- paparazzi more veiws.

[@JobelleLacadman]

Thank you so Sean for this!! My heart is in pain when im seeing Suga infront of this k media thanks for listening

[@patriciacrouch4660]

I appreciate you sticking to the facts. Haters have been doing a lot of should'ves, could'ves, etc. instead of sticking to the actual facts.

[@lizleo6519]

Thank you for the re edit. We appreciate that you support Suga

[@whaliensuperstar]

thank you so much for taking time to re-edit this video to exclude the korean media content💜💜💜💜

[@katalinkasznakidisznetakac8044]

Full support to Suga. He has done NOTHING. What he goes through is so disgusting and dispairing, simultaneously.

[@christineenright7491]

So the police are afraid of the media. Is the prosecutor immune to pressure. Aren't there ambitious prosecutors who have political ambitious? On top of it, Suga said he would accept his punishment.That hit me. Do yoy know the caliber of the legal team working with Suga? I am concerned that he is feeling so guilty that he can be taken advantage by corrupt and/or weak prosecutor.

[@lainey9815]

I believe Yoongi is tremendously strong and SO smart! No way is he being taken advantage of. He is playing their game to minimize the damage to BTS, then, when it is all said and done, he will be able to address it the way he really wants to. 💜

[@alsosprachZarathustra-fi2pm]

the lawyer who went in with Suga is a seasoned pro, who used to be a prosecutor. He represented an older k-pop guy (member of TVXQ), whose case was pretty bad.

[@jedidar]

Thank you for editing it was breaking me to see Suga I just listened to the other version I couldn't watch.

[@majakann7340]

Ma Pan 100% rację!!! Według mnie to też było "polowanie na czarownice". (dla mnie osobiście to była ustawka). Zszargać dobre imię Suga i BTS. Ta okropna zawiść i zazdrość. Zamiast być dumni z BTS, z tego jak rozsławili swój kraj, jakie Korea Południowa, dzięki BTS, ma z tego profity, itp, itd.... Nikt nie patrzy ile ci chłopcy wylali łez, ile wydalili z siebie potu, w jakich warunkach mieszkali i ćwiczyli na początku i że jest to 7 wybitnych jednostek, 7 ewenementów na skalę światową. Nawet rządzący nie doceniają BTS. Każdy tylko chce ich wykorzystać do swoich celów. Strasznie to przykre i niesprawiedliwe. A ilu artystów i ludzi na świeczniku popełniło samobójstwa, bo nie wytrzymało presji "części sprawiedliwego społeczeństwa koreańskiego" . Dlatego potrzebne są takie informacje jak Pana, żeby ludziom pokazać skalę problemu. Bravo. Podoba mi się postawa ARMY na całym świecie no i niektórych koreańskich artystów - przyjaciół SUGA. Mam cichą nadzieję, że to wszystko w końcu ucichnie. SUGA JESTEŚMY Z TOBĄ !!!!

[@wendyreynolds6661]

I loved your insights. I agree with everything you said.

[@annbeck2298]

Through all this, Suga has proved his worth. He has come out as one of the most admired, respected and beloved men of our time. Glad that there is almost a year until 2025, so we can move away from this vicious time, but will never forget Suga’s gallantry. Forever at Suga’s side.

[@4EVERWITHBTS]

Thank you so much 💜

[@APOBANGPO-IT]

Thanks a lot for your re edit this video. I hope everything you are saying is the true because Yoongi and all BTS deserve all the love and all the respect for what they have done for South Korea and korean. I remember Jk respond to a hater during a live and saying: I don't care what you are saying about me, I care only about the people who care about me. I really hope that in moments like this every member remember that US AS ARMY WILL BE FOREVER BEHIND THEM. Thanks again, respect and love from Italy

[@bourjoism3917]

Thanks so much Sean I can watch now without skipping 😅🙏🙏🙏🥰

The funniest part is that he could go much faster on a hair dryer! 😅

[@mnmtcolin8358]

Or a toaster 😂 for rubbing the absurdity we should publish images of Yoongi on a toaster

It’s so sad that he’s being mistreated this way when he along with his BTS members are such a major contributors to their economy and culture society. Many international visitors go to SK because of the Hallyu and BTS is a huge part of that reason. It is very evident that jealousy is what’s driving this circus media but I know that Suga will come out a stronger man when this is over. His Agust D side will come out and create a song about this injustice and hate. He is a mastermind of powerful lyrics it will top the Billboard charts. He will be laughing his way to the bank when he profits off of this. I’ll be waiting for this album from him. Fighting!! 👊🏼

“… and give the haters a taste of their own medicine. What should it taste like?” 🔥 Siri? Play MIC DROP by BTS 🫱🏼 🎤

[@booni-k2k]

Thank you so much for all your videos it gives me comfort because I was so upset with the malicious kmedia yes you absolutely right they are all jealous of Suga and all the members of BTS can't believe they gave so much to society and they treat their national treasure like this thay don't deserve BTS 😢In my country we will protect him and be proud of him 💜 and no way be jealous.. I am so worried about is health we the fans army will always be with him forever 💜💜

[@puppypower6958]

Thank you so much for analyzing and explaining what Suga said in his apology. I am very, very relieved that what he said wasn’t like how it sounded in English. It sounded like he was crushed and I was scared.

[@woodlands879]

Korea media is brutal and obviously destroying Suga. Thank you for your update and insights

[@amelias.2509]

Thanks, Sean! This why we trust you and depend on you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Gala-Ferrari]

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation of the situation from your insightful perspective. It is really interesting to be able to understand the nuance in Yoongi's words in his second apology letter. Thank you so much again!! BTS make me so proud of being an ARMY. I firmly believe we are building a better world together💜

The thing is yes they have no case …but they didn’t have it to begin with to even file a charge he was on a sidewalk not even the street….i don’t trust anything now…point is they hate him enough to make him pay guilty or not🥺…it breaks my heart
