BTS’ SUGA had a rough year because of his 2024 DUI scandal. Even though he paid a fine to end the case, supporters haven’t heard from him since. After several months, ARMY’s concerns have been partially swayed by a recent upgrade.
The message went viral right away, with the phrase “He was smiling brightly” trending throughout X. SUGA has received little to no press since his DUI scandal. Thus, his physical and emotional well-being worried his fans. But the latest information is giving many optimism that he would soon resume his musical career.
YOU ARE TELLING ME AN ARMY SPOTTED YOONGI WITH A FRIEND AND HE WAS SMILING?!?!?? THE WAY THE ARMY SAID:
💜:Don’t worry, it seems like yoongi is doing well. He was laughing out loud with friends”
OMG IM GLAD HE IS DOING OKAY🥺🥹❤️🩹 https://t.co/qDEPDJcewU

A fan posted on X: “I saw BTS’ Yoongi-nim at Apgujeong Rodeo around 7:10 PM KST. He was with a friend, wearing a black cap, a black short-padded jacket, and a white mask.”
The fan’s post aligned with SUGA’s casual garb. “Please don’t worry, he seemed to be doing really well. He was smiling brightly with a friend,” it added.

SUGA was investigated for operating an electric scooter while intoxicated in 2024. Netizens harshly attacked him despite the fact that he did not result in any casualties or interruptions. His blood alcohol content at the time of the occurrence was approximately 0.227%, which is at least seven times more than the legal limit, according to the report. The police, however, never verified this number.

Ever since, SUGA has maintained a low profile. For a while, he avoided interacting with his fans. Additionally, he hasn’t released any solo music in over a year. His ongoing alternate military duty will end on June 2025.
