  3. Lord. People are getting KILLED by drink and drive cases. Rich kids aged 15yrs driving millionaire cars killing couples, old ppl, damaging property. And govt is doing nothing. India, Pune case.
    If BBC starts a station in India. It will need triple staff just to keep up with india’s news alone.
    Smh. India is going under 😢. Rjkar case justice isnt served yet. Nirbhaya case and 10000000000000000000000 other cases like that

  7. You said in your article on your website that his blood alcohol level was 0.227 which turned out to be a lie, and the police CONFIRMED that they never revealed his blood alcohol level. You're publishing FAKE news.

  8. YOONGI getting fined n dragged over ridding a e-scooter on the side walk while minor rich kid in India had to write an apology essay after he killed two ppl with his birthday Ferrari….. What a world I live in

  17. It's an offence in lots of countries to drive or ride on anything while under the influence of any drink or anything else. Shouldn't have done it, but alcohol does damage your thinking processes.

  18. Img y’all stop defending him he was drunk driving and there’s nothing u could do about it stop defending him at all costs it doesn’t matter if he killed someone’s or not

  24. Shame on the free media for going into Orwell's 1984. To change the English language to "driving" which is only used for a car when it is about "riding" on a kickboard. It's not enough that you don't impose sanctions on a criminal act like this (human rights in Korea are violated to the extent that the presumption of innocence does not exist, there is no right to 2 opinions in the media and there is a "photo line" that is the law and even mandatory) but and you support it!! It is a shame for such a respected media, a law that does not exist in the countries of the US or EU or UK but supported by you? Or we will already respect the Russian laws then, in which you are an extremist media. When are we going to be arrested for something like this? In Korea, a country where political manipulation has reached the point where a word from a little girl can trigger an investigation by the Korean Parliament of 35 people and a huge company? There were fake records that were not addressed in any way, fake news and you support that? Given that after so many lies the last one will turn out to be just Hybe's political removal and Suga wasn't even drunk? His company should just be stolen from the state. How do you expect me to believe your above news about Israel, Putin and the US election with such incompetence as a grammatical error for delusion?

  25. ⁠ By the way, the BBC as a media should investigate HOW the whole scandal started! Because he started from two yellow sites Koreaboo and Allkpop. If you are a serious journalist with only Google you can find that the first site has a direct connection with Kakao through the biggest investor inside. On the board of directors of this investment fund is a director of Kakao Bank named Daniel Yun. If you dig into the second site, you'll find that the owner is quite friendly on LinkedIn with Kakao's Co-CEO Joseph Chang and calls him "Bro"! It is clear that the two sites are actually owned by Kakao, and the main dispute between Min Heejin and Hybe is exactly a dispute between Kakao and Hybe in the face of Big Hit. Kakao is almost officially owned by the communist company Tensen. Tencent has an official investment in it, but the truth is that when entering the Chinese market years ago, Kakao did it with the Sea Rainbow fund, which is actually absolutely "hollow" – it is clear that behind it are definitely people from China! Net Marbell, the second investor in Hybe, officially has 10% investment again of Tencent in it. And from here it is clear to even a 5-year-old that the whole Suga scandal was completely artificial so that Hybe could be acquired by pro-China Kakao (which is indirectly connected to Lee Jaemyung's pro-China party). Every Suga fan knows that the song Haegeum is a criticism of Lee Jaemyung! Suga mimics him as the villainous mobster in the video and the lyrics have whole sentences of quotes from his speeches. Kakao really runs the entertainment industry through its yellow pages and its online trolls (the English speaking trolls are Filipinos because they are cheap to hire). This is how it works: the yellow sites make a scandal, the official media, which are state-owned and subservient to parties, literally copy the news and trolls start writing controlled comments under the videos en masse! Thus, the shares of the companies can be easily pushed and the whole market can be manipulated! Kakao has an agreement with Billboard as of this year, and places on Billboard can also affect the stock market and share price! If you study the journalist who writes for Billboard in the k-pop section-Jeff Benjamin-, you will see that he has no music and journalism education (he doesn't understand anything really) but he often visits the Korean Cultural Institute and the Chinese Cultural Institute after which articles appear about Korean and Chinese singers. This journalist has a very controversial reputation and Min Heejin explained that they know each other personally and he sends her the materials before publishing them, meaning he is also part of the k-pop industry manipulation scheme through his reviews and connections at Billboard! You can see for yourself what a "wonderful" system of manipulations has been built – the late Prigozhin's troll factory has almost been reached! And the only obstacle to Kakao. Lee Jaemyung and Tencent to rule Korea's k pop industry leave BTS! This is why they should be removed and more opportunity to steal their fandom from young people which can easily be used for political purposes because it is too powerful – it can be directed to troll on political issues at will! That's why, at the state level, BTS was drafted into the military and a replacement group New Jeans was created under the management of Min Heejin and with the manipulative thesis "they are BTS's little sisters and the fandom must support them"! If you follow the events, you will see how quickly this group became "popular" precisely through the networks and the state media, when in reality no one listens to it and all sales and streams are bought artificially! But BTS don't want to fall and keep fighting and the fandom doesn't want to submit and doesn't allow manipulation! And the only way out is to invent scandals with the aim of a ban and presentation as a "cultural feature"! First there was the medal scandal, now the Suga one! We'll probably see more because the major players I named are getting bitter because they failed in their 3 year plan to replace BTS with a submissive group that would allow the fandom to be exploited! Lee Jaemyung's political appetites are huge, and President Yoon is definitely now subservient to him (results from the last election prove a deal because the Democrats were supposed to have a 2/3 majority but unexpectedly didn't get it, thus ensuring that Yoon leaves as president). The scandal with Suga also proves an agreement between the two because the prosecutor's office is subservient to Yoon, but he actually wrote exactly the accusation that was wanted in Kakao's troll comments! The Yoon-Lee Jaemyung controversy is just theater for America (which has gotten the events completely out of control). I personally expect an impeachment or even a coup and come to the power of the pro-Chinese Lee Jaemyung!

  26. That's a bit much. Actually, that is way too much. I saw this on BBC News and it said he was fined $11,500 US Dollars. I Don't follow BTS like that. I feel for him though. I've been there before but I don't have an agency or a manager, and what about his circle? I pray that he is surrounded by people that Love him. From one human being to another
