BTS Suga’s Response to Korean Media at Airport Triggers Widespread Buzz
BTS Suga is facing controversy over his cold reaction to media at the airport.
The controversy started on February 9, when BTS returned from their overseas schedule. While the other members engaged with cameras and reporters, Suga walked through the airport with headphones on, ignoring everyone.
Videos of Suga’s behavior quickly went viral. Many netizens praised him for ignoring the media and cameras.

Fans caught the moment on video:
The reaction online fueled lots of fan comments, including TikTok posts like this one:
@gibbynorge Yoongi be like: you’ll only hear from me in cypher pt5#bts #suga #yoongi
Another hopped on the hate train media and toxic fans getting called out:
@j.h.k.m They deserve this treatment. The press and the toxic army at the airport are the same people who were against him during his accident, and now they’re chasing him like nothing happened, they are the same ones who hated him and wanted him out of the group they’re really very hypocritical #viral #namjoon #yoongi #fyp #jimin

Not everyone agreed with the “Suga ignoring media” hype though. Fans reminded others that this is normal for him.
One fan tweeted:
Unpopular opinion but I think we should stop making hit tweets about him ignoring K-Media every time he shows up at the airport. First of all, he always rushed at the airport not to bother others and I wouldn’t want antis on Korean side or some of these reporters to mention it. https://t.co/B68knsuEIE

Suga has previously explained why he rushes through airports during an interview. The details give more context to his current behavior.
Fans remain divided but the airport incident with BTS Suga sure got a lot of attention fast.
