Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief A multinational alliance of fans of the Korean pop music group BTS has issued a statement in support of band member Suga, who was recently involved in a drunk-driving incident. “The Global ARMY Alliance supports all seven members of BTS,” the collective of BTS fan groups said Monday across multiple social media platforms.

Suga has faced intense media and fan scrutiny since the incident last month. Over the weekend, he was actively pressured by some online commentators to quit the group.
