The Suga one was blown out of proportion. Ppl were sharing fake video footage and saying Suga was lying before actual footage was released. He never lied and his scooter looked like a bicycle while ppl were acting like he ran over a village on a motorcycle

[ajimir]

Maybe you shouldve used the actual cctv video so people can see how ridiculous this is

[crystalsnow]

"Police helped him up". Please don't spread lies the police didn't help Suga up, he got up quickly after he fell after a sharp turn. There is video evidence of that. Obviously he shouldn't have rode the scooter while over the legal limit, but there was no need for the absolute smear campaign that followed. Suga didn't disappoint any of the fans, the media did spreading lies and misinformation.

Nobody got hurt!?!?!?! IT WAS A SCOOTER!!! Wtf!!!!

Everyone else has mentioned the misinformation in the SUGA item. But also, why include the clip of RM and SUGA drinking on his show? Korean culture is a drinking culture. That is why they have such strict DUI laws.
They showed the actual CCTV footage of Jessie’s incident. Why not show the actual footage for SUGA? Likely because it shows that what they mentioned in the clip is wrong.

I am a HUGE supporter of this channel when it comes to KPop due to the thorough research they conduct. But I have to call foul for Suga's case. The police didn't help him up whatsoever, he quickly got up on his own which proves that he wasn't severely intoxicated as the media claimed he was. This man simply fell off of his scooter & got crucified because of it. Then Jessi is ridiculed for getting out of the way while two grown men were fighting?! She clearly tried to stop them but the guy punched the fan in the face. She fled for her safety because no other person was around. She actually went to get help so how does that make her a bad person?! The cheery on top of that is that the guy wasnt even A PART of her entourage!!!! Meanwhile, you got nasty perverts, thieves, killers & liars running around here free as a bird yet no one says a thing. 😳🤬🤦‍♀️

@MsWatchMojo your recent upload about K-pop Scandals contains misinformation about BTS SUGA that is defamatory as well as images from an illegal photo line. These photos are in violation of the artist's human rights, and we ask for the immediate removal of this video. Thank you.

Msmojo, the Suga scooter incident was blown way out of proportion. First off, he wasn't riding the scooter that fast and fell off after a sharp turn infront of his own house. Second, it was a damn electric kickboard, not an actual two wheeler motorcycle. Stop spreading misinformation, there is even an actual footage of it. I am sick of this, when is he going to be freed from this smear campaign

[kimyoung]

Pls show the real scooter and the real cctv footage for suga.. geez

[ajimir]

Please stop spreading misinformation. The police didnt help him. His license wasnt revoked he just paid a fine because the electric kickboard he was using didnt need a license. The police and media harrased him for 2 months for this case when it should've just taken days or weeks. You probably used a voice over from Korea Now which apologized for spreading misinformation. Please amend your video. You are using a photo taken that violated his human rights.

[teenkerbe]

PLEASE REPORT THIS VIDEO FOR MISINFORMATION 3:21

[shrutiverma]

The photo line is illegal pls remove that clip

[mandeelah]

Why did you guys choose to report misinformation regarding SUGA? Like are you kidding me? Did you guys even do proper research and see the CCTV footage?
Please. Do yourselves a favour and remove this video. You're just spreading lies and making people who don't even know who SUGA is, believe that he did something criminal.
He paid a FINE. He got up ON HIS OWN. He didn't face JAIL TIME like other people would've thought.

Disappointed in you, MsMojo. It's been reported for misinformation. Please remove this video before YouTube does it themselves.

bruh suga was riding a scooter on the sidewalk!!! not the main road! it was so not as big of a deal as they were trying to make it seem with all the fake videos and apology.

No matter how much they try to throw him away... we will love him so much.., Suga

[crimson_sky]

You know 2024 was bad for Kpop when even Watch Mojo makes a top ten list

[calicokaels]

Most shocking? Taeil by far... Harsh reminder to many kpop stans that we don't actually know these people or what they are capable of. To be cautious and not get too parasocial. (Though Im sure fans will continue to be way too parasocial.)

Most blown out of proportion? Both Suga and Seunghan. With Suga, the biggest problem is misinformation... Hell even YOU guys don't have all the facts straight. (Not a surprise from this channel anymore tbh.) Seunghan? God, the poor boy just was a normal human being. Apparently there are aome very disturbed knetz considering they sent funeral wreathes over THAT. Its sadly the perfect display of everything that needs desperately to change when it comes to stan culture in kpop.

I'll also add: biggest whirlwind? The whole HYBE/Ador/MHJ/NWJNs thing. Like, it seems like that drama will never end. I feel for the girls for any mistreatment they have faced. MHJ has absolutely ruined everything, sadly, imo. So many complex thoughts and emotions in regards to that.

Reporting this video for misinformation on the Suga case. MsMojo, check your sources, don't spread lies and don't share illegal photos. Do better!

The Jessi one REALLY annoyed me. What else was she supposed to do? Put herself in harms way?
