South Korean boy band BTS member Suga aka Min Yoongi, who courted controversy in a drunk driving case, continues to receive hate despite his genuine apology and paying a hefty fine.

In pictures and videos surfaced on social media, the premises outside the HYBE office show funeral wreaths that have received strong reactions from the ARMY.

Some even pointed out that as per Korean law, sending wreaths to a living person can be considered a death threat and illegal. Anyone who facilitates or ignores such actions (including the police) can be considered an accomplice.

One user wrote on X, "If people knew Suga at all - they should know wreaths won't faze him, this would FUEL him to make the most intense rap album - we're talking abt a man who makes the baddest diss track to - his words, not mine - reel the cockroaches into the trap."

"This wreath thing is hilarious to me cause they really think Suga from BTS could just be taken out of the group he helped create by a company he built with his group," added another.

One user wrote, "Suga getting wreaths for doing nothing at all!!! These people are hella insane, he doesn't deserve this! I hope those people rot in the worst place in hell!!!! No one deserves this treatment, especially a big artist like Suga."
