The first season of Suchwita came to an end with episode 27. I'm going to generalize a bit here and say that it had the one person most ppl (probably 95% of the fandom) wanted to see as a guest: Jang Yijeong, a.k.a El Capitxn.
Even though he's not part of the OG crew--which includes PDogg and GHOSTLOOP--because he didn't join Big Hit until sometime in 2017/2018, Yijeong is most deffo part of the Inner Circle within the BTS team (meaning the production side). He's been involved in a ton of BTS songs (including "Friends", "Telepathy", "Mikrokosmos", "Christmas Love", "Stay Alive", all of the AgustD' songs in D-2 and D-Day). In addition, he's also worked with other artists such as TXT, IU, Sumni, Epik High, PLAVE, TripleS, ARTMS, Zerobaseone, and has one songwriting credit for one of STAYC's songs in their upcoming first full album. DUDE IS BUSY AF!
One of the most interesting things for me has been seeing his public profile rise over the past 3, most deffo past 2, years. Including full scenes with Yoongi in the latter's Road to D-Day documentary and performing as part of the band during the D-Day tour The Final concerts in Seoul.
Anyways, what made this a super fun episode was seeing how well Yijeong connects with Yoongi via their shared music nerdery. They love to sit down and create music (as seen in the docu.) Theirs is a playful, almost sibling-like dynamic.
IMO, this is one of the BEST episodes of the entire season. Not only because Yijeong and Yoongi chit-chat abt their friendship, but also cuz there's a LOT of stuff that nobody but them knew abt. Frex, Yijeong used to be a member of a group called HISTORY. This group debuted a couple of months before BTS did back in 2013. However, Yijeong ended up leaving the group for reasons that hadn't been discussed in public until this episode. It was an intense thing to sit through ,NGL.
Yijeong mentioned how Yoongi became a good friend at a point where both men were dealing with some dark stuff in their respective lives. And, it was thru Yoongi that Yijeong's own second chapter as an artist developed even if he couldn't be a singer anymore. One curious thing was that Yijeong tends to defer Yoongi a lot even though they only have a six month difference (Yoongi was born March 1993 while Yijeong was born in early September of the same year.)
The only downside to the episode, Yoongi says his goodbye and officially ends S1 of Suchwita. Seeing the neon sign turn off made my heart twinge a little. FWIW, there were two recent pics by some white guy music journalist in the Suchwita set. So, as far as we know, the set has not been broken down. My hope and that of many, many, many ARMYs is that we'll get an OT7 episode. It better be an hour long or, like, a 2-part episode. It'll be so fucking epic!
And so, this is my final entry celebrating Boramonth. I might do some non-Kpop entries next. <3
