Miu Sakamoto , the daughter of the renowned composer Ryuichi Sakamoto , has recently voiced her strong support for BTS ’ Suga amid the rapper’s ongoing DUI controversy . The incident in question occurred on August 6 when Suga was apprehended for driving an electric scooter while under the influence. After losing control and falling in front of the Nine One Hannam luxury complex in Hannam-dong, Suga was discovered by police officers who detected a blood alcohol concentration of 0.
227%. He was subsequently taken to a local police station for further processing and questioning. The news of Suga’s investigation quickly spread, leading to a media frenzy when he appeared at the Yongsan Police Station on August 23.
The intense scrutiny from the press has only added to the pressure on the BTS member, who later issued a handwritten apology to address the incident. In his apology, Suga expressed "Due to this incident, I have severely damaged the precious memories I have made with the BTS members and the fans, and have hurt BTS’s name. I feel very sorry and am in pain for causing harm to the BTS members and the team, to the point I cannot express fully.
I am sorry to the members who have always trusted me, because they are having a hard time because of me. And I know how disappointed the fans who have supported me must feel”, as reported by Koreaboo. He added, “I just feel so sorry to the fans who have always given me so much love.
.. I know that it will be difficult to heal the wounds and repair the disappointment my fans feel with my words, so I am regretting my actions and will reflect on them with a heavy heart every day.
Once again, I sincerely apologize to the fans who were hurt by my actions”. Following the release of Suga’s apology, Miu Sakamoto took to Twitter to express her concern for his mental health and well-being. In her tweet, she included the hashtag ‘#WeLoveYouYoongi’, a movement started by BTS fans to show support with Suga during this difficult time.
This gesture of support from Sakamoto is not new as she previously cited that the collaboration between her father and Suga on the track ‘Snooze’ had provided her with comfort during the period of mourning following Ryuichi’s passing. Furthermore, Miu had previously demonstrated her support for Suga by attending two of his solo concerts in Japan and Thailand, showing her ongoing admiration for him. In addition to Miu Sakamoto’s public support, Suga’s close friend and producer, EL CAPITXN, is also believed to be showing support through subtle Instagram posts.
