Fannish 50 Post 34: SUGA and Meaningful Conversations.
ETA: there's an ongoing conversation abt ideal bodies (including dieting as an idol) during the first half of the episode. Adding a soft warning for topics that some folks might find triggery.
Just like with Jin's episode, Hobi's appearance in Suchwita was filmed back in Feb 17, 2023 (or, roughly, a day before Hobi's actual birthday). But, per Hobi's request, it didn't air until July 19, 2023 (or abt 3 months and change after he enlisted.)
This time, Hobi wasn't quite promoting "On The Street" (his collabo with J.Cole)--though he did talked a little abt it.
Instead, the episode was an exploration of Hobi's own history, pre-debut to early post-debut BTS' lives, being the first member to launch a solo album (and do an amazing solo concert that I wrote abt on this post), etc.
There was, as expected, a LOT OF GIGGLING happening from both Hobi and SUGA as well as some good observations on the idol industry and how they both see themselves AND BTS within that world.
One thing that's mentioned but not super delved into is how close to BTS and Big Hit were close to get dissolved. From Sope's perspective is a moment they reminisce abt being told the group had to move out of their dorms cuz the company had run out of money. Rapline stayed put out of, I guess, stubborness. Bang PD was able to raise some additional funds and BTS lived to deliver the true breakthrough of their rookie era: I NEED U.
Fun fact abt that: An investing firm gave BH ₩4 billion (or around $3.6 million US) and held 30% of BH. Which is how BTS was able to try for one last time to reach for actual success. By the time the firm sold the stakes back to BH, the firm had made ₩108 billion (or around $75 million US.)
After the episode's over, we get a LOLARIOUS teaser for the next BTS member to appear (Jungkook) that feels extremely chaotic. :DDDD
