At J-Hope’s encore performance of his solo world tour ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ final, BTS members RM, SUGA, Jimin, and V attended to support their hyung. Fans were thrilled to see the group reuniting to cheer on J-Hope.
Some Korean netizens focused on SUGA, who made a quiet public appearance 10 months after his Drunken scooter incident. In August 2024, SUGA was caught riding an electric scooter while intoxicated in Seoul. He failed a breathalyzer with a blood alcohol content reportedly as high as 0.227%, nearly three times the legal limit, and was fined roughly 15 million KRW (~11,500 USD), his license revoked.
In the recent concert video, SUGA was seen wearing a beaning, standing beside RM, Jimin, and V, and making a playful heart gesture over his head. Fans noted he rarely does this.
Koreans’ Reaction
While fans were ecstatic to see the members show support for J-Hope after their military discharge, some netizens focused on SUGA making a public appearance. They commented:
“He never did those things before. lol.”
“You’re right. He was never like that. lol.”
“It’s been a while, SUGA.”
“So brazen of him.”
“Why didn’t he just come alone during his service and just tell the fans. He didn’t even come once, and now he shows up with the members. So annoying, SUGA.”
“It’s just good to see them together.”
“I’m envious of these celebrities.”
“I’m just going to conclude that everything SUGA does is fake.”
“That heart is for J-Hope. I’m glad the members are showing support.”
“He never made heart gestures like that before?”
“V’s so good-looking.”
“lol…”
“The comments are ridiculous.”
