ARMYs have come to defend SUGA from disrespectful comments.

On May 8, the U.S-based sports media outlet ESPN took to Twitter to share photos of BTS' SUGA at the LA Dodger's Stadium. As reported, this BTS member had made it out to the Dodger's game, even meeting up with the star pitcher Ryu Hyun Jin!

ARMYs battling against injustice, just like their fandom name? In other news, BTS has recently announced that an exciting collaboration with Khalid is underway.
