BTS' Suga And Halsey Accused of Promoting "Satanism" With Lilith Single: BTS member Suga has been in the spotlight since the release of his album D Day, which showcased his creative exploration of dark themes in music. However, the recent collaboration between Suga and Halsey has sparked controversy among his fans, with some expressing concerns that the track promotes satanism.
Suga embarked on his musical journey in 2013 as part of a group with his fellow band members RM, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, V, and Jungkook. The group is currently preparing to commemorate their upcoming 10th anniversary.

As the band continues to soar to greater heights, its members also pursue their solo careers and collaborate with acclaimed musicians. Suga recently teamed up with Halsey for a song called Lilith, previously released by the American singer.
However, some fans have expressed concerns about the track's title, as it references a demonic figure from Jewish folklore. Lilith, known as Adam's first wife, was expelled from the Garden of Eden for defying him.
According to Koreaboo, the updated rendition of Lilith serves as the official anthem for the game Diablo IV, which revolves around the eternal battle between good and evil. In the song, Halsey portrays the character of Lilith, while Suga takes on the role of Inarius, an Archangel hailing from the High Heavens.
Suga's lyrics to Halsey convey a message of breaking free from negativity, hatred, and madness, urging her to step out of the confines of the past and embrace change. He reassures her that he has returned to hell and encourages her to believe in what she sees.
"Step out of the moment. That's been trappin' you in all this negativity of hatred and insanity. Don't dwell on the past; it's time to make a change. Look around; believe in what you see, I have returned to hell," Suga sings to Halsey.
Reacting to the track, one user wrote, "It's advertising Satanism which as a Christian is against my religion so it upsets me yk," while another remarked, "I'm usually more open-minded when it comes to religion but this was something else." "Sadly, we should be careful of what we listen to," a third commented. A fourth added, "We all need to pray for you Yoongi."
