Fannish 50 Post 52: SUGA and Going from Acquaintances to Real Friends
NGL, I've had to the most to calm the fuck down in order to do a post with a semblance of coherence. Because, this was one of the most happy surprises this show has ever done.
Cuz the idea of SHINee's TAEMIN BEING A GUEST ON SUCHWITA????? LORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDE! (❤ ω ❤)
*Calming down*
On top of seeing him and SUGA interact, what makes this a MUST-SEE episode can only be brought up bulletpoint style:
* Taemin and Yoongi are both 93z--something that, as mentioned by both of them, is a rarity in K-pop. Not many 1993 folks became idols.
* Taemin is his group's maknae while Yoongi's considered the second oldest (after Jin). So their idol experiences are v. different w/r/t the members' dynamics.
* Taemin is also technically Yoongi's sunbaenim (senior) since SHINee debuted 5 years before BTS.
* Both are v. influential for different reasons that each admire in the other.
It's not like Taemin and Yoongi were total strangers. More like fellow idols who would chit-chat in a general way while doing their respective promotions. If anything, Taemin's connection to BTS is usually focused on his v. close friendship with Jimin.
*Takes a deep breath*
WHICH MAKES JIMIN'S RANDOM APPEARANCE HALFWAY THRU THIS EPISODE A MILLION TIMES AWESOMER. From then on, there's Taemin and Yoongi's nascent friendship, Yoongi and Jimin's bond (no explanation needed), Taemin and Jimin's besties' vibes, and all three having a friendly convo.
This is deffo one of those episodes I've rewatched a few times cuz the tone is lulzy, the conversation goes from introspective to casual, and the overall mood is extremely cordial.

Especially since, realistically, the K-Pop world is a small one. Between folks being former trainees at the same agencies, same year group chats, and hanging out at the same places, it's more likely than not that idols are (at worst) acquaintances to (at best) actual friends.
All through most of 2022 and this year, I keep seeing more and more intra-band interactions; it fills my heart with joy, NGL.
