BTS member Suga (Min Yoongi) is facing claims about riding an electric scooter while drunk, and a new trend on social media is stirring up trouble.

Fans are posting photos of themselves with steering wheels and alcohol bottles under the hashtag #SugaChallenge. But there are growing suspicions that this might be a setup by anti-fans.

As of August 12th, social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), is filled with posts showing people holding alcohol bottles inside cars with the hashtag ‘#SugaChallenge’.

Some of these posts include messages like "I always support Suga" and "I’ll be with you," which seem to support him.

However, this isn’t typical behavior from BTS’s fanbase, ARMY. Evidence shows that anti-fans may be using platforms like Pinterest to spread these posts, suggesting they might be trying to harm Suga’s reputation on purpose.

Some people have even posted photos of themselves drinking while driving, mocking Suga with the ‘#SugaChallenge’ hashtag.

There’s concern that some international ARMYs might be jumping to conclusions about Suga. Given BTS’s global fame, there are people who don't like the group, and some believe these recent actions could be a way to damage BTS’s image with negative viral content.

Industry experts agree that Suga should face proper consequences for his actions and reflect on them. ARMY also believes that, given BTS’s reputation, Suga’s mistakes need to be addressed.

Suga was booked by the police on August 7th for allegedly riding an electric scooter while intoxicated. The police plan to summon Suga again soon to look into how much he drank and the details of the incident. Suga and his agency, Big Hit Music, have promised to cooperate fully with the investigation.

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!
