Suran caused controversy when he was accused of intentionally taking a screenshot similar to the photo Suga posted.
On May 6, IU’s song Eight with the participation and production of Suga ( BTS ) was released in anticipation of a large Korean audience. The combination of a top female solo artist and a member from the most famous Kpop group has helped Eight reap many impressive achievements.
After Eight was released, the Big Hit male rapper posted a screenshot while listening to the song and showed it off to Army for promotion. A few hours later, singer Lee Suran also posted a similar photo on Instagram Story. This act of support is considered normal because Suran is a close colleague of IU and has also collaborated with Suga. However, fans discovered “something unusual” because Suran also stopped the song at minute 1:07, exactly like the photo Suga posted.
Screenshot of Suga’s song stops at 1:07.
Suran was said to be deliberately ambiguous by rewinding to 1:07 to resemble Suga.
It is worth mentioning that the lyric line appearing in Suran’s photo “denounced” her ambiguous actions. Specifically, the lyrics ” So are you happy now/Finally happy now, are you ” are the lyrics at the 18th second, not the lyrics at minute 1:07. Fans thought that Suran intentionally wanted to “capture” the same moment as Suga, so he rewinded to 1:07 and then pressed pause to take a screenshot even though he had not heard this part.
Army believes that Suran intentionally drew attention to the coincidence between her and Suga. Many people criticize the female singer born in 1986 for “hungry for fame” and constantly clinging to the name of Big Hit’s male idol.
This is not the first time Lee Suran has caused controversy because of his “heat-generating” actions, vaguely hinting at dating Suga on social networks. The two collaborated on the song Wine in 2017. At that time, the Army community enthusiastically streamed to help Suran’s Wine climb to the top of the charts, winning many year-end awards. However, BTS fans began to lose sympathy for Suran because she continuously made moves that sparked dating rumors between her and the BTS rapper.
Suran once wrote a meaningful caption and then had to add the words Suran loves Spain after intense criticism from the Army.
In an interview in early 2018, Suran shared that Suga was the one who “saved” her during her mentally difficult time by proactively offering to cooperate. The original text of Suran’s confession was: ” Suga was with me when I was depressed .” After that, she caused misunderstandings three times by referring to Suga’s name in the Instagram caption with phrases like the one in the picture above (Suran and Suga’s names both start with the letter S), “Sseoltang” (sugar, fan nickname). given to Suga), “Yoongi” (Suga’s real name) into the post. The controversy was so big that Big Hit itself had to speak up to correct the relationship between the two artists.
The dating rumors between Suga and Suran all originated from the female singer.
