Fannish 50 Post 32: SUGA and the Pleasure of Good Banter
The Jimin episode of Suchwita is one I've seen almost as many times as the RM one because of the sheer JOY these 36 minutes have brought up in my heart every time I sit down to watch it. Airing in late March (to coincide with the tail end of the promo rollout for Jimin's first solo album FACE), this was one more addition to the 2023 Yoonmin canon.
Yoongi and Jimin's dynamic has leaned into a frenemies area for a large part of their time as BTS members. It's gleefully snarky with some tender moments here and there. Given that they're idols, there has to have been some playing up from both of them (such as in some earlier episodes of "Run BTS", frex.) IMO, starting sometime in 2020, the things they show (vis a vis their bond) have shifted into softer and more supportive moments. With the peak being pretty much ALL of 2023. Which is awesome, NGL.
Moving on, if there's a word to describe this specific episode is spirited. Jimin mock-pouts at Yoongi--who, in turn, retaliates by being a goofball. There's a lot of giggling in between a good conversation abt the vulnerability in the act of creating; what BTS means to both of them; a discussion of each track in the album; some quick memories of past years; doing promo as a solo artist; and a whole lotta cuteness.
My ultimate fave part begins at 18:14 in which Yoongi throws a suggestion at Jimin that he (Jimin) should show up at Yoongi's concert to sing "Tony Montana" with him. FTR, the D-Day Tour was around a month away, so everyone was OJO abt this. The only other time they'd performed that song was back in 2016 for the 3rd Muster. ANYWAYS, Jimin's like "Uh, IDK, we might have to change some lyrics..." to which Yoongi starts to give him different combos of things that Jimin could do. It's a moment that shows how UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL is is to see Jimin and Yoongi interacting.
Everyone had to wait (and I do mean WAIT) until the next-to-last-concert but, finally, seven years later (because, OFC, it's 7), we got to see the PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED. BEHOLD "Tony Montana 2023" onstage:
Trigger warning this is a fancam, so expect a lot of screaming. OTOH, it has English subtitles--which highlights the changes they did for the newer version of the song.
