BTS might have to perform Suga-free in Korea at least for a while.

    Korean broadcast stations play the Korean national anthems at least once per day , although that is usually around 5am or so when not too many people are watching.


    That tradition comes from the old days. Korea was not a rich country so it didn't have the electricity to run a whole day broadcast schedule until 1990s so every day the tv stations broadcast around 5am-10am then around 5pm-12pm.


    So every time the broadcast stopped the Korean national anthem was played, and that tradition has stuck.


    Not surprisingly the video clip which accompanies the anthem tends to have what the Koreans think is important.


    People like BTS, Son Heungmin (a soccer player) or the director of the Oscar winner Parasite, etc are often featured nowdays, and apparently while the Senior Singer is popular among the locals, those who make the clips do not consider her to represent Korea since she is not one of the people who contributed to the worldwide expansion of KPop.


    The above clip features BTS, but 6 of them since Suga was absent because of a shoulder injury.

    The outrage on Suga in Korea is quite great.


    I am not going to talk about who is behind that, or the incompetence of Hybe to deal with this, etc.


    I personally think it might have to go Suga-free in its Korean perfs or concerts.


    People do not forget that easily, and Suga might be featured in foreign concerts where people care less, but in Korea it will create a huge shitstorm in Korea.


    Also, the Senior Singer , the ultimate nemesis of BTS, has upped the ante by putting 108,000 into her Soccer Stadium concert.


    The Senior Singer , while likely to do dramas next year and not release an album, might try for the ultimate, going for a full stadium concert next year which would put around 130,000-150,000 , which beats BTS' record of Speak Yourself Seoul concert of 129,000, a 3 day affair at the Olympic Stadium which is offline until 2031.


    The Domesticist who sang her first Kpop song in her 11th year (bbibbi, 2018) now beats the Greatest Act of the World.


    To have any chance of beating that in Seoul, BTS might have to go Suga-free in Korea.

    Sugar Free with Suga Free will create a stir.

  • Well he's got a whole year for things to die down, so it'll probably be mostly fine. I'm sure there will be people who still hold it against him but BTS doesn't promote a lot in Korea anyway. Not as a group.

  • they already did

    Considering the amount of gg songs they used to cover, there is probably a clip somewhere of them dancing to this lol

  • Lol not going to happen. BTS is still on hiatus until 2025 that's more than enough time for people to forgive this DUI case and move on. All he has to do is lay low finish his military service quietly, stop drinking entirely. Make that drinking show of his magically disappear, then by the time all the members are out, everything would have been smoothed over. This would get reconciled faster if hybe wasn't a piece of shit. They jumped immediately to action when bang was caught with some girls, but can't act at all when their own idols are attacked, subject to lies including setup by the media or do anything about saseangs. But oh man can they insta legal action over bang with the streamer girls or expose everything about new jeans and mhj but can't do shit when their own idols are facing real problems?🤡 They all need to void their contracts and move to another company

    Not in Korea. Remember Kim Garam? Although the case on her was weak we have not heard about her much.

  • Jun K and Nichkhun from 2pm were caught drunk driving, they still performed with their group.

    Daesung ran over a motorcyclist and that didn't stop him from promoting with bigbang.


    I don't think the situation is going to be different with Suga. Things got worse after people found out he lied. But still, the worst that could happen is that he's not going to promote his solo songs in S. Korea, however I'm pretty sure he's going to continue performing with bts.

  • Senior Singer had long back sung "Suga-Luv", even before BTS debuted.


    But jokes apart, I think Suga just needs to lie low for sometime, and when BTS comes back late next year, it will be find for him to join.


    Public outrage never sustains too long, HYBE can always pay a play of some other worse outrage and spin it off. And by itself, this is not a big deal, just the BTS has enjoyed excessive love, so everything about them will be amplified excessively.


    Or maybe IU can give some tips to Suga, how to ride-out public outrage, after all she is a veteran who has faced and come shining through many scandals, which you never tire of reminding people.
