According to Hankook IlboThe police officers involved did not recognize Suga as a member of the world-famous boy band BTS at the time of the incident, a detail that contradicts the argument that his celebrity status influenced the handling of the case.

Due to Suga’s popularity, the case has received a lot of attention online. Fans have defended the star, saying that the incident was not serious since he was found near his home and on a scooter. However, Korean netizens see this as a huge problem that should be punished accordingly.

Some fans have suggested that this negative reaction was unwarranted.

While some may argue that the backlash Suga is facing is harsher because of his celebrity, the fact that police did not know his identity when they found him suggests that the situation was handled based on the facts of the incident rather than his celebrity status.
