Amid the heated controversy over BTS's Suga, who was booked for driving an electric scooter while drunk, the entertainment industry is also showing extreme reactions.
Today (26th), tvN Story entertainment program "Chairman's People" released a pre-released video by hanbok designer Park Sul-nyeo, which is scheduled to air later in the day on its official YouTube channel.
In the video, photos of top stars wearing hanbok he made stood out behind Park Sul-nyeo. Representative examples were group BTS and other singers.
Among them, however, Suga, a member of the group BTS, and Kim Ho-joong, a trot singer, had their face hidden with mosaics, drawing keen attention. Coincidentally, both men were recently questioned and tried by the police on charges of DUI, respectively.

Suga, who is serving in the military as a social service worker, is suspected of drunk driving after being found by police after falling while driving an electric scooter while intoxicated. Kim Ho-joong was found to have run away after hitting a taxi while driving under the influence of alcohol in May, and even made his manager give false explanations, causing a social stir. Of course, the specific issues are different, but it is presumed that the background of the mosaic was that both of them caused a social controversy by driving under the influence of alcohol.
On the other hand, some people in the entertainment industry cheered for Suga during the same period. Psy reportedly mentioned Suga in the process of introducing the ending stage, "That That," at Suwon Park, "Psy Soak Show" held on the 25th. He thanked Suga for featuring and producing the song.
However, controversy is continuing over whether it was necessary to mention the name at a time of great controversy. In addition, writer Lee Min-jin, who wrote the original novel of the same name for Apple TV Plus' original series "Pachinko," left a purple heart with a photo of Suga on his SNS. As the purple heart is a representative symbol of BTS and fandom ARMY, it is interpreted that the writer also expressed his open support for Suga.

As Suga and BTS had a great influence on the world, the controversy is also causing a strong impact. Amid the continued aftermath in the entertainment industry, Suga released a second handwritten apology on the 25th after being questioned by police on the 23rd and bowed his head, saying, "I am so sorry and distressed that it is hard to express because it my wrong actions caused damage to the members."
