glitteryvNB: This post's title is a h/t to SUGA's often repeated trivia of having known RM for "X number of years". At time of this specific Suchwita episode, they'd known each other for 12 yrs/soon to be 13. Although unofficial, the Namgiversary (as it is known in some corners of the fandom) is Nov. 13, 2010.
Am finally (FINALLY!) ready to do individual posts abt the BTS members' guest appearances in this show. \o\ \o/ /o/!
Back in December 5, 2022, the pilot episode dropped with none other than RM as the first guest. And, like, if there's anything to know abt Namgi (RM/Yoongi or RM & Yoongi)'s whole everything is that they're the public core of BTS' music. [FTR, this is both true (cuz they're credited as songwriters of the bulk of BTS' catalog) AND not exactly true(because all of the members do contribute to the discography.] As two of the group's most prolific songwriters (RM currently has 217 songs credited to him; SUGA has 167), theirs is a bond that puts creativity at the forefront.
As such, this 35-min episode dives into the creative process; discussions on what's different of writing for BTS vs. writing for one's own solo work vs. writing for artists outside of BTS; quick anecdotes abt their respective lives before they became trainees; the significance of RM's solo album Indigo, etc.
In between stories, there's a lot of RM being a brat, Yoongi reacting like the long-suffering hyung he is, and some goofy promotion of the show's sponsor. I've genuinely lost count of how many times I've watched this episode. It's funny, comforting, and shows two people whose connection begins with music and becomes something more.
This being the pilot episode, I need to mention that there are 2 things that are unique to it.
1. The set itself.
Unlike the rest of the eps, this set is comfier (possibly alluding to it being someone's living room, maybe?) with the cream sofas and the purple background. OTOH, I do like the interior decoration a lot. OTOH, I can see why Yoongi and his team would want something that is still cozy but also looking less dressed down (if that makes sense.)
2. The chosen song.
At the end of the episode, Yoongi tells RM the song that he thinks best represents RM. And, for whatever reason, this is the only episode that was brought up. It's not as if the song plays in the background, so I don't see any licensing issues. Alas.
One thing I want to give a heads up abt: from 26:56 to 28:51, the conversation focuses on how quickly things changed for them (and everyone else) by late February 2020. They also talk abt their frustration and (to a lesser degree) their fear regarding the pandemic.
Anyways, this is a good episode. Check it out:
