BTS's Suga is under investigation for drunk driving on an electric scooter. In response, alleged international fans have started a 'Suga Challenge,' posting photos and videos of themselves holding alcohol bottles while driving.

On August 12, X (formerly Twitter) saw a flood of posts tagged with ‘#SugaChallenge.’ Alleged fans are sharing images and videos of themselves holding an alcohol bottle and steering wheel while driving.

X users, who claim to be BTS supporters from around the world, have posted messages like 'BTS is always seven,' 'Min Yoongi, I will always be with you,' and 'I support you always' along with their challenge posts.

Some videos show people drinking from alcohol bottles while driving, while others take photos with an alcohol bottle and BTS songs playing in the background.

On the night of August 6, Suga fell while riding an electric scooter near his home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District. Police, who were patrolling the area, took Suga to the local police station where he took a breathalyzer test.

Suga and his agency Big Hit Music initially apologized, saying the incident happened on an electric kickboard. However, surveillance footage showed it was actually an electric scooter.

The police are now taking steps to revoke Suga's license. The breathalyzer test revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.227%, well above the 0.08% limit for license revocation. Suga will be summoned for further investigation soon.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
