Amid the latest developments in BTS Suga‘s drunk driving case, including new (and real) CCTV footage from DongA Ilbo and an apology from JTBC for the previous false CCTV footage, the BTS fandom remains fiercely divided.
Some fans calling for Suga’s withdrawal from the group, represented by an X (former Twitter) account @idoitsueit, have sent protest trucks on two different routes around Seoul.

According to @idoitsueit, a second round of protest trucks has also been secured through a fundraiser.

We have reached the target amount for the fundraiser and have closed it. Thank you to everyone who participated in the campaign, even though it was kept private.
Starting tomorrow, the truck and the flower wreath campaigns will take place together. During the campaigns, we’ll have a staff managing the flower wreaths, and the trucks will be circulating around the bustling areas of Seoul even on the weekend. We appreciate your interest and support!

Before the protest trucks, protest wreaths were sent for set up in front of HYBE. Both trucks and wreaths have become staples in K-Pop fandoms as means of expressing their demands and asking for action.
In response, YTN did mention in a since-deleted report that HYBE stated its plan to apologize and make concerted efforts to mend the rift within the fandom. Read more about the report here:
