In a series of posts on Twitter, one fan sarcastically thanked the idol for “setting up” his fans with “criminal stans,” referring to Taeyang and his other Big Bang co-members.
“Suga just gave the VIPs something to weaponize tbh. He was laying it on a bit too much,” another claimed.
A different fan accused Suga of being weird for talking that way to Taeyang and disrespecting the whole BTS career after saying Big Bang made BTS.
So to stop the hate, the VIP and ARMY have come together to defend Suga, making #ProtectSuga a trend on Twitter.
