As with his previous tour stops, Suga continued the tradition of taking an ARMY’s Samsung Galaxy phone mid-concert to self-record. This had many ARMYs rushing to switch from Apple iPhone to Galaxy. The BTS rapper intentionally only picked Samsung’s phones as he, along with his members, are brand ambassadors.

Suga taking an ARMY’s phone during the Seoul concert on Day 1 went viral across TikTok and Twitter due to his cool reaction. ARMYs alleged that he saw that the ARMY had been live-streaming the concert. While this is unpermitted by BIGHIT MUSIC, he allegedly laughed at it and continued to record himself as usual. On the other hand, one of the security guards snatched the ARMY’s phone away after.

The guard was very rude he pulled this phone out for no reason 😑😑

Yet, other ARMYs have a different story about what really happened.
As some ARMYs pointed out, a cord was attached to the phone, so they believed the guard mistook it for something. Upon a quick inspection, he returned it to the owner. So, it didn’t seem to be because of a live stream.
this was the phone that STAF snatched but it wasn't a livestream… guess it's about the lace that's on the phone they mistook it for something….#SUGA_AgustD_TOUR_in_Seoulpic.twitter.com/E8lawjBgqc

the bodyguard probably took the phone because he thought that there was a cord cable attached but it was just a lanyard so he gave it back immediatelypic.twitter.com/GKBVfL3iWt

Whatever the reason, we’re sure it didn’t affect the ARMY’s unforgettable experience with Suga!
