## Resource

In this episode, we unpack our reactions to the evolving story about Suga's scooter incident as it stood on the day of recording, August 13, 2024. We discuss the misinformation frenzy we see online from K-media versus the relatively bland media response in the mainstream U.S. press. We also share the emotions we are experiencing as devoted fans and try to offer some comfort to our fellow ARMYs.
