BTS Suga's Family Acquired License to Launch Own Business in Daegu
On June 28, it was revealed in an exclusive report by media outlet Kyongbuk that the family of one of the BTS members had sent in an application for a business license to the Dong-gu office in Daegu. According to the report, the application was for a permit to operate a gallery, which has been approved.
In a phone call with Kyongbuk Ilbo on June 27, the mayor of Dong-gu, Bae Ki Cheol, revealed it was Suga's family who had applied for the business license. He added they wanted to build an exhibit in their hometown.
Bae Ki Cheol said:
"Suga's family said that they wanted to build a memorial exhibit in their hometown, and because there were no legal issues, they have been trying to get a building permit before. The application has [only] been approved now because there might be people who think that I was trying to use this as a way to take advantage of the elections before."

In Kyongbuk Ilbo's report, it is said that Suga's family had also applied for a building permit for a small retail store and a small restaurant back in June of last year. In addition, his family had reportedly also applied for a construction permit around the Dongchon Amusement Park, which consists of two buildings: a retail store the size of 499.71 m² and a restaurant the size of 950.38 m².
BTS Suga's Family Business Expected to Boom Tourism
Although Suga's family applied for permits to operate a retail store and restaurant, it was revealed that his family would also be opening a gallery, such as a K-Pop library, after the construction of the building has been completed.
In regards to the application, a Daegu official said:
"We proceeded with the procedure in accordance to the application for a general business premises permit while discussing the future procedures with the client. During that process, we learned that [they are] the family of a famous group [member] who will run the business. The review period was extended while discussing permissions with the relevant departments. But [the permits] are not something that was granted because they were the family of a member of a famous group."
