The resurgence of these songs comes amid heightened support from his fans, following a DUI incident that occurred on August 6. The situation, involving Suga navigating an electric scooter with a high blood alcohol level, drew significant media attention. While initial reports were conflicting, leading to some confusion, Suga and BTS’s agency have since issued apologies and clarified the circumstances.
Despite the controversy, the support from his ARMY fans has been unwavering. This surge in fan engagement has propelled Agust D’s music back into the spotlight. On August 24, 2024, Suga’s tracks, including Polar Night and The Last, reached No. 1 on the iTunes charts in multiple countries, reflecting a strong global fan base.
Suga now joins fellow BTS members Jimin, Jungkook and V as one of the few Kpop artists to achieve such success on iTunes in 2024, underscoring his enduring popularity and the powerful support of his fans during this challenging time.
