Recently, the Famous actor and model Lee Soo-hyuk was a guest on the popular YouTube show of Lee Young-ji, "Nothing much prepared." In this episode that wae uploaded 2 days ago, before actor Lee Soo-hyuk made his appearance, Lee Young-ji introduced several alcohol products that she had advertised and received sponsorship for. During this segment, she made a statement that has sparked a significant amount of debate online: "You shouldn't drink this before riding a bike. It's drunk driving."
This seemingly harmless comment has led to speculation among some netizens that Lee Young-ji was subtly criticizing BTS' Suga. For context, Suga was involved in a controversy where he was reportedly caught drunk driving while riding an electric scooter, an incident that caused a stir in the media and among fans.
Although Lee Young-ji did not directly mention Suga or the incident, the timing and the context of her statement have led some to believe that it was a veiled critique aimed at the BTS member. Others, however, argue that the comment was general advice and not intended as a personal attack on anyone.
Given the highly sensitive nature of issues involving BTS, who are immensely popular and have a devoted fan base, any comment that could be perceived as criticism can quickly become a topic of heated discussion. Lee Young-ji, known for her candid and humorous style, often makes off-the-cuff remarks that can be interpreted in various ways.
It's important to consider the possibility that her statement was simply a public safety reminder rather than a targeted jab at Suga. Regardless, this incident highlights how even casual comments from public figures can be scrutinized and lead to widespread debate, especially when they involve high-profile celebrities like those in BTS.
