In recent days, the BTS member Suga accidentally created a dangerous ‘drunk driving‘ challenge after being involved in a controversial drunk driving incident that caused him great problems with the law, and some fans seem to be replicating his actions.
When it was revealed that the rapper was found drunk after falling off a scooter by a police officer, some fans criticized the artist, demanding his departure from the boygroup. However, other followers have been supporting in a level that goes beyond the law.
On social networks, some fans have started an alarming challenge involving drinking alcohol and driving cars, making the hashtag #SugaChallenge trend and sharing photos with bottles in the vehicles through the internet, which is clearly against the international traffic law.

Although some netizens wonder if this trend is a type of moking or sarcasm, or even if fans are trying to divert attention from Suga’s scandal, this action promotes inappropriate behavior while driving, and it is very dangerous.
“Ah, seems like this is sarcasm, phew. But it’s true that it still creates negative influence“, “This is too much“, “They’re glamorizing DUIs and trying to say that it’s not a big deal to hit 0.22%. What a positive influence!“, “Now, he’s being mocked with just a single mistake and everything he’s built up is crumbing at once…“, were some comments.
