Another batch of Suchwita episodes! This time following the them of older folks and SUGA discussing different facets of being an artist.
Kim Namgil's episode is, sadly for me, among the least-watched. Mainly cuz he's a TALKER. So for every short question SUGA will throw at him, Kim Namgil will take eons to answer. One interesting thing is that he is one of Seokjin's close friends (to the point of appearing in the last episode of Jin's show abt traditional Korean alcohol. OTOH, Kim Namgil is a multihyphenated human being, so there's also that.
Then there's Kim Jongwan, main vocalist and guitarist of the Korean band NELL. SUGA and Kim Jongwan have been friends for a while. Also, for those who might not know, Jongwan also sang in AgustD's D-2 song "Dear My Friend". He has a uniquely sweet voice.
FTR, the bulk of this episode centers around the creative burnout, choosing one's path while navigating the music business, and how to prepare concerts so that the audience will have a great time. NELL has been around since 2001, so there are parts of the episode that mention what longevity means as well.
Uhm Jungwha is Suchwita's second female guest. It's a v. memorable episode, NGL.
For starters, like the other two guests I mentioned before, Jungwha has a long career (acting debut in 1993, singing debut in 1996.) She's gone thru a lot of ups and downs, influencing a lot of idols to this day, and has truly earned her legendary status.
Even though I wasn't familiar with her work, I've watched this episode in particular many times. Jungwha and SUGA's convo is tremendously charming. It's lively and fun in a way that's extremely refreshing to watch in terms of difference in ages, genders, and experiences. I highly, highly rec this episode.
Bonus fact: Uhm Jungwhat was among the 100 or so folks that Hobi personally invited to the listening party for his Jack in the Box album. I really love the fact that Hobi connects with folks from all aspects of the Korean entertainment business, IDK.
