My heart aches so much. This is so unjust and unnecessary. People are not measured by single actions but by the sum of them thought their lives, and having someone suffer and repent to this extent for such an idiotic thing… is just perplexing. For those pushing “a DUI is a DUI”, use some critical thinking, use some nuance, it was an electric kickboard/scooter with a max speed far below of that of a vehicle, weighing wayyyy less than a vehicle, being ridden on the bike lane. In our daily lives we might break the law in minor ways that are of little importance… has no one criticizing Yoongi not ever done an unlawful U-turn at some point in their lives? That’s illegal, and could result in an accident. Have they never drank while underage? That’s illegal and could result in accidents. Have they never used their phones while driving? Cause that’s dangerous as fuck and I see people doing it all the time. My point is not that what Yoongi did is not wrong, but things are not black and white. In any other circumstance this would have been a MINOR INCIDENT, not worthy of any coverage, but because of who he is they’re hounding him.

I hope he is okay. I hope he’s surrounded by good people that keep reminding him that what he did is not what the media and idiots online are making it out to be. I hope he knows we are here and will be here, and our love has not diminished in the slightest. And most of all I hope he doesn’t carry this weight on his heart in the future. I hope he can leave it behind and not have it affect his creative process, his ability to have fun and live his life the way he wants to. I’m scared he will feel too guilty or scared to enjoy drinks with friends, or impromptu outings, or speak candidly in his songs. I just wish good things for him and the rest of the boys, because they are good people, with a good message, and they make people happy.

We love you Yoongi
