Recently, an online community post garnered almost 40,000 views regarding a debate about BTS’s Suga.
The post argues that his huge donation last year was to “buy” his way out of the DUI scandal and stay with the group.
“Out of the ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $3.25 million USD) that he donated, while there might be some money genuinely donated for good deeds, you have to view it as money donated on the condition that he wouldn’t leave the group due to his DUI scandal.
Think about it: ever since the Burning Sun scandal, whether male or female, whenever a scandal broke out, the member would leave the group, regardless of whether it was a criminal, moral, character, or school violence controversy. No matter what it was, the member ended up leaving the group.
Over 20 people have left the group in that manner. But Suga didn’t leave after his DUI case. So then, what does his huge donation mean? It’s obvious, isn’t it?”
— OP
However, netizens felt otherwise, agreeing that they couldn’t deny his donation would help so many people.

- “The OP, who probably doesn’t even donate 50 cents, sure has a lot to say.”
- “Regardless of his intentions, be it changing his image, no one can deny that the amount of money he made can save so many lives. People who don’t donate a cent are the ones talking too much.”
- “The amount is too big to be able to criticize him. It would take 1,000 months to make that much if even if you saved about $5,000 a month.”
- “I think Suga is way better than the person writing this post?”
- “Suga is so much better than the OP who hasn’t even donated $10, so shut your mouth.”
