Here’s all you need to know about the controversies surrounding the K-pop idol. BTS’ Suga is embroiled in several controversies that have arisen amid the DUI scandal. According to reports, it has been claimed that Suga is not taking his social worker duties and military service training seriously.
It has been alleged that he has been showing a poor attitude. The icon is currently still serving in the military. According to reports and unnamed eyewitnesses enlisted in the army, he never participated in a 4-day, 5-night class and never took charge the way he was supposed to, even though he was the leader of a team.
Apparently, things got so bad that he had to be scolded by the instructor, to which Suga simply nodded his head before going back to his phone and then sleeping. The allegations do not end there. According to claims, Suga has also been acting like a ‘classroom bully’ and trying to assert his dominance over his peers.
