Fans express disappointment after Samsung removes social media posts featuring Suga amid his DUI controversy.

Samsung’s recent action has sparked backlash among BTS fans, leading to a boycott of the tech giant. The issue arose when Samsung Deutschland deleted social media posts that featured BTS member Suga, coinciding with the ongoing controversy surrounding his recent DUI case.

For years, BTS has maintained a strong partnership with Samsung, initially collaborating on the release of new phones. This relationship expanded into creating special collaboration items, including BTS-themed cell phones. Both as a group and as individuals, BTS members have been prominently featured in Samsung’s promotions and advertisements.

On August 15, Samsung’s Germany-based Twitter account shared an image of Suga promoting the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Along with this, another tweet was posted, featuring a poll and photos of fellow BTS members RM and Jimin.

However, shortly after these posts were made, Samsung Deutschland deleted both tweets featuring Suga. This unexpected move has been linked to Suga’s ongoing DUI case, where the idol has been charged with drunk driving. Additional details, including CCTV footage, have surfaced, further fueling the controversy.

Following the deletion of these tweets, many BTS fans expressed their frustration and disappointment, leading to calls for a boycott of Samsung products. The fans believe that Suga is being unfairly targeted by the media, which they suspect may have influenced Samsung’s decision to remove the posts. Hashtags like #KMediaarebullies and #KMediaStopBullying have gained traction on social media as fans rally to support Suga.

“Samsung’s decision to delete Suga’s posts feels like a betrayal to us fans who have supported both BTS and Samsung for years,” shared one fan on Twitter.

The incident follows a public apology from JTBC, a South Korean news outlet, for releasing incorrect CCTV footage related to the DUI case. Fans have criticized K-Media for what they perceive as biased coverage against Suga, further exacerbating the situation.

This growing controversy has put a strain on the long-standing partnership between BTS and Samsung, leaving fans and the public to question the future of their collaboration.
