SUGA recently reunited with fans after completing his alternative military service as a public service worker. With SUGA being the last BTS member to be discharged, the group is now fully reunited and ready to kick off preparations for their explosive comeback.

While BTS and ARMYs celebrate the long-awaited return of BTS as seven, some individuals have responded in the opposite way. Various topics and comments have emerged calling for SUGA to be excluded from future group projects. Some even went as far as submitting petitions to national broadcasters, demanding a ban on the rapper’s appearances on all programs.

These actions stem from the impact of last year’s DUI case. At the time, a significant amount of misinformation circulated in the media. Although SUGA apologized and took legal responsibility for his actions, he continued to face disproportionate backlash.

Things escalated further with baseless civil complaints accusing him of neglecting his duties during his public service and being inconsiderate to his colleagues — fueling further controversy surrounding his return to BTS.

Amid this, several of SUGA’s former colleagues during his service shared their personal experiences working alongside him. These individuals hoped to offer a more accurate perspective on the artist’s character for fans to αѕѕess more fairly.

One such account came from an OP who worked as a food distributor at the training center where SUGA completed a month of basic training — part of кσяєα’s alternative military service. The post read: "Came to the boot camp and was together with BTS SUGA. He was very quiet. I gave him food during mealtime and he said thank you.”

Another widely shared post came from a user on X who revealed that her boyfriend had met SUGA while training to become a public service worker. “Long time no see. I was busy with finishing αѕѕignments and finding myself a boyfriend. That boyfriend, whom I met on campus at school, went to his public service worker training and met Yoongi,” she began.

She added that her boyfriend had given her gifts that SUGA had handed out to his fellow trainees — a water bottle and Pepero snacks. “Yoongi treated his training teammates to water and Pepero. My boyfriend got them, too, and gave them to me… Heh. I’m so happy,” she wrote.

Another viral post offered even more insight, revealing that SUGA had been selected as the team leader among his group of public service workers, and that he gifted teammates with bottles of “Pyeong Chang Su” — the brand name of the water he provided.

The OP shared a list of guidelines allegedly created by SUGA, aimed at maintaining a “friendly environment.” The list included:

Common Features: We strive for maximum efficiency at minimum energy, we do not cross lines, and we prefer a friendly environment.
Rules:

1. Be on time.
2. No smoking indoors.
3. Do not cross lines.

Team Leader: Min Yoongi

Supplies: Name of sol∂ιєr
Clerk: Name
Timer: Name

Reaction: Name

These shared experiences reveal a very different reality of SUGA’s two-year service from the baseless accusations meant to discredit him and push him out of BTS’s lineup.

Fans firmly believe that toxic individuals will not succeed in their attempts, no matter how many accusations they spread or how much they try to tarnish his reputation. SUGA will continue to be protected — not only by fans but also by those who’ve personally interacted with him and witnessed his consistent, kind-hearted nature.

Fans have been flooding social media with comments, expressing pride in SUGA’s admirable character, as sincerely described by his former comrades — with respect, warmth, and genuine affection:

- He’s always been kind-hearted. I’m glad the truth is coming out

- These stories just prove what kind of person Yoongi really is

- Imagine wasting energy trying to bring down someone who’s already untouchable

- No matter what haters say, we know his true character

- Even in silence, he gains respect. That’s real impact

- His humility and quiet strength speak louder than any rumor.

- Those who served with him saw the real him — respectful, thoughtful, genuine

-  He didn’t need to defend himself — his actions did it for him

- And just like that, your smear campaign failed. Try again?

- Nice try, haters. But real ones know the truth

- You tried to bury him, but forgot he’s a seed. Yoongi stays booked, busy, and beloved. Meanwhile, y’all…
