BTS Members SUGA, RM, Jimin, and V Attend J-Hope’s ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ Grand Finale to Show Support
At the final stop of J-Hope’s solo world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, fans were excited to spot BTS members RM, SUGA, Jimin, and V showing up to support their hyung. This reunion came right after their respective military discharges, marking a pretty emotional moment for both the fans and the group.
What grabbed extra attention was SUGA’s quiet return to the public eye, nearly 10 months after his controversial incident involving a drunk scooter ride in Seoul last August. Back then, he failed a breathalyzer test with a blood alcohol content of about 0.227%, almost triple the legal limit, which led to a fine of roughly 15 million KRW (around 11,500 USD) and his license being revoked. This recent appearance marks a rare moment of him being in the spotlight since that event.
During the concert footage, SUGA was easy to spot wearing a beanie, standing alongside RM, Jimin, and V. Fans got excited when he even made a playful heart gesture above his head — something he doesn’t often do. That small, sweet moment sparked a lot of online chatter.
The reaction from Korean netizens was pretty mixed. While many were just happy to see BTS members supporting J-Hope, quite a few couldn’t help but focus on SUGA’s presence and behavior. Some comments from Korean online communities included:
"He never did those things before. lol."
"You’re right. He was never like that. lol."
"It’s been a while, SUGA."
"So brazen of him."
"Why didn’t he just come alone during his service and just tell the fans. He didn’t even come once, and now he shows up with the members. So annoying, SUGA."
"It’s just good to see them together."
"I’m envious of these celebrities."
"I’m just going to conclude that everything SUGA does is fake."
"That heart is for J-Hope. I’m glad the members are showing support."
"He never made heart gestures like that before?"
"V’s so good-looking."
"lol…"
"The comments are ridiculous."
TRENDINGSeeing the group back together brought a wave of excitement, but SUGA’s actions and the timing of his reunion with the band members added fuel to ongoing discussions about his behavior since the scooter incident. Nonetheless, the focus remained on the supportive vibes at J-Hope’s final show, highlighting the strong bonds these BTS members share.
