BTS's SUGA Criticized for High BAC and False Statement, but Group Comeback Plans Stay on Track

On August 9, it was revealed that BTS member SUGA had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.227% during a breathalyzer test, far exceeding what would be expected from "one glass of beer," as he initially claimed to police. This significant discrepancy has led to a wave of criticism, as the average BAC from a single glass of beer typically falls between 0.02% and 0.04%, making SUGA’s statement appear misleading.

The controversy has sparked concern among fans about the potential impact on BTS's reputation, particularly with the group’s planned comeback in 2025 after all members have completed their mandatory military service. Some fans fear that SUGA’s recent actions could jeopardize the group's future activities.

However, industry insiders have clarified that there are no current discussions about SUGA leaving BTS or taking any drastic measures in response to the incident. While SUGA is reportedly reflecting on his actions, the group's plans for a 2025 comeback are expected to proceed as scheduled.

Although the situation has cast a shadow over SUGA's image, BTS's dedicated fanbase continues to support him. As the group looks ahead to their 2025 return, fans remain hopeful that this setback will not derail their future plans.
