Am closing out both this rollercoaster of a year AND the Fannish 50 posts with one of the most wonderful surprises ever: goddess incarnate IU's guest episode in Suchwita.
Earlier in the year, SUGA had appeared in IU's Palette show, cheekily throwing a challenge of sorts down that IU would have to appear in his interview show if the YT views ever reached 10M. FWIW, they're a little over 7M at time of this post, so fairly close to the target number. :P
In any case, I almost couldn't believe it when the teaser dropped and, boy, did I ended up astral projecting out of the sheer JOY that it was seeing IU and SUGA chit-chat for nearly an hour! As of right now, this is the officially longest episode at 43:50. NGL, I could've rolled just as good had the episode been the full hour and 40 mins of footage.
A lot of the episode focused on IU's fantastic 15-year career, her observations on where she'd like to go next, the UAENA fandom and her connection to it, and (ofc) her 2 collabos with SUGA. For his part, Yoongi added in bits abt his own experiences doing solo concerts, songwriting obstacles and triumphs, etc.
This being a Suchwita ep, there were also a few revelations that left me SHOOKETH. And, like many UAENA out there, I am hoping like whoa that IU does get to go on a tour. It'd be a SUCH A DREAM to see her singing live-live, heheh. ANYWAYS, what made this such a lively episode was IU and SUGA's back-and-forth. Theirs is a connection of artistry, talent, and intense sibling energy. Given that they're both 93z, the flow of the convo switched from informal to formal (which was neat to see) with a lot of snark from both IU and SUGA.
FWIW, I'm not quite sure IF I'll be doing this challenge in 2024, but who knows, right? ANYHOO, thank you to the folks who have commented on my K-Pop ramblings thru this year. I hope 2024 is a safe, happy, and fun year for everyone. <3
