KEY POINTS

  • BTS member Suga's name appeared on the 2022 Philippines bar exam Sunday
  • Suga and his group were mentioned in the commercial law exam
  • BTS fans expressed their excitement over the surprise mention

BTS member Suga made waves on the internet after his name appeared in one of the questions of the Philippines bar examination.

On Sunday, the second day of the professional licensure examination for lawyers in the country, the 29-year-old rapper's real name, Min Yoongi, and his group were featured in question number 6 of the commercial law exam, Interkasyon reported.

"Yoongi, a director of BTS Corp. PH, bought substantial shares of its major supplier, Hybe, Inc. When Hybe, Inc.'s contracts were taken up by the BTS Corp. PH Board, Yoongi not only voted for their approval but influenced other directors to do so. Later, the Hybe, Inc. contracts turned out to be disadvantageous to BTS Corp. PH and caused it substantial losses," the question read, according to the outlet.

It continued, "Discuss the action/s that may be pursued against Yoongi under the Revised Corporation Code. Explain briefly."

University of Santo Tomas law professor Kenneth Manuel took to Twitter to share a screenshot of the question, which has now garnered a total of over 24,000 likes.

"I feel na tama talaga training ko sa mga students ko in making K-pop idols the characters in my exams. [I feel that it was right to train my students by making K-pop idols the characters in my exams]," Manuel tweeted.

BTS fans, also known as Army, expressed their excitement over Suga's surprise appearance in the exam.

"Still trying to wrap my head [around] it. It's not just an exam from school. It's a BAR EXAM. A country's bar exam. Min Yoongi's impact lol," one Twitter user wrote.

"[Army] being in high positions and putting BTS' name in the last places you would expect will never stop being funny. Like imagine [you are] an Army taking the PH bar and you get to this question... I would think I was hallucinating like no way," another fan wrote.

Some fans recalled a 2014 incident at a fan event when a fan jokingly threatened to sue Suga for being attractive.

"The 'I will sue you Min Yoongi' has escalated to a whole new level," one fan tweeted, while another wrote, "There is literally no way the person who wrote this isn't so deep in Army lore that they know [sic] about 'I will sue you Min Yoongi.' No way."

"Case dismissed on account of Yoongi's incandescent smile having turned everyone present at the proceedings to mush," a third user joked.

Over 9,000 law school graduates in the Philippines are taking what has been regarded by some as among the hardest bar examinations in the world, with the third and final day commencing on Wednesday and Sunday, respectively, in 14 onsite examination centers across the country.

Meanwhile, the seven BTS members, Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jin, Jungkook, Jimin and V, are on hiatus as a group. They recently announced that they will enlist in South Korea's military as required by law, ending months of public debate about whether the group qualified for an exemption to mandatory conscription.

According to the group's label, BigHit Music, the members are expected to make a comeback as a group in 2025 after finishing their military service.
