BTS member SUGA (Min Yoon-gi, 31) is under the spotlight again. This time, it’s not just because of his recent DUI incident but also due to past behavior that’s resurfacing online. Videos of his swearing on stage during a concert have gone viral, sparking heated debates among fans and netizens alike.
The Viral Video: SUGA’s On-Stage Outburst
Recently, several online communities and social media platforms started circulating videos titled “SUGA Swearing at a Concert” and “BTS’s SUGA Shouting Expletives.” The footage likely comes from his solo world tour, “SUGA | Agust D TOUR D-DAY,” in Seoul last June. In the video, he shouts a curse word while performing on stage.
SUGA appears in the video wearing a white shirt, black tie, and a jacket with the words “D-DAY” emblazoned on it. During his performance of the song “Moonlight” from his 2020 mixtape “D-2,” he suddenly yells an expletive into the microphone. The crowd, which included around 15,000 fans over two days, responded with cheers.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Netizens
As these videos gained traction online, reactions varied widely. Some viewers expressed disbelief, questioning whether the outburst was part of the lyrics. Comments like “Is that really part of the song? I can’t believe it” and “Swearing on stage? How is that acceptable?” were common. Others expressed surprise that this moment hadn’t become widely known until now, with one user noting, “Fans are surprisingly forgiving.”
The controversy grew when people noticed that his documentary “SUGA: Road to D-DAY,” released on Disney+, also featured him swearing during the songwriting process. Additionally, people started discussing how past lyrics penned by SUGA included explicit language. This revelation further fueled the debate and led to more criticism. Many users posted comments like “Does he think swearing is cool?” and “This is pathetic.”
SUGA’s Recent DUI Incident
Adding to the controversy is SUGA’s recent DUI charge. On August 6th, police arrested SUGA for driving a motorized scooter under the influence in the Hannam-dong area of Seoul. They recorded his blood alcohol level at 0.227%, far exceeding the legal limit for license revocation, which is 0.08%.
At first, SUGA and his agency, BigHit Music, referred to the vehicle involved as an “electric kickboard.” Later, they clarified that the vehicle was actually a foldable electric scooter with a seat. This miscommunication led to accusations that the agency was attempting to downplay the incident. BigHit Music has since apologized, stating that they had no intention to mislead and acknowledging their mistake in providing the incorrect information.
These events, combined with the resurfacing of the controversial concert footage, have placed him under intense scrutiny. Discussions about his behavior continue to dominate online conversations.
