BTS’ Suga has been praised for including trigger warnings and more at Agust D concerts, according to Kpop News
btsIt is Suga is praised by ARMYs at his concerts, not only because of his performances.
The BTS member launched his SUGAR | August D ‘D-DAY’ TOUR IN USA this week at UBS Arena in Belmont Park.
Due to his phenomenal performances, you would never know that this was Suga’s first tour as a solo artist.

His stage presence isn’t all ARMYs praise, however. When they arrived at the scene, it was initially clear hennessy accessible.

That’s not the only “gift” to ARMYs. According to ARMY, Suga exposed himself as a genuine anti-capitalist by telling his employees not to remove the streaming links.
It was Yoongi who ordered Hybe interns not to delete streaming links

kinda surprised none of the links got removed today…did Yoongi talk to the company or what 😭

maybe the reason no streaming links were removed is so Yoongi knows his hyung will be illegally watching through those links as well. lmao pic.twitter.com/JQUaxghB3s

More importantly, Suga was praised for including a potential trigger warning ahead of his concert. He warns viewers “Loud sound effects, including a crash and gunshots, are used throughout the show along with flashing lights and lasers.” They are recommended “If you find any of the show’s content triggering, please contact the nearest member of staff.

i am so serious the way he thought about every little thing about the military. the trigger warning, the Hennessy stood vacant and told the staff not to remove the ties…he said “yes” to all those marriage proposals. We are his partners. he loves us so much. official acts pic.twitter.com/4g1BHXP3yp

Flashing lights, lasers, loud sound effects, etc. are common at concerts. However, trigger alerts are rarely used, even though these elements could potentially affect someone negatively. So it’s admirable that Suga is thinking about the health of all his viewers.
Why aren’t more people talking about this??? Yoongi put a trigger warning on the screen before his broadcast!!! I watched a fancam of the concert and that’s the first thing that caught my eye! The amount of RESPECT and LOVE I have for him for that!!!! 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/zGmaqfsBVE

Also, a disclaimer and age restriction have been added to MV “AMYGDALA” due to its sensitive subject matter.
They added a trigger warning for the amygdala music video a few minutes ago. pic.twitter.com/ve6Vxpx2K3
