Episode 26, the penultimate one from Suchiwita's first season, has actress and model Lee Sungkyung as the guest. This is a kinda double-surprise instance for two reasons.
1. It turns out that Lee Sungkyung and Yoongi have been IRL friends for a few years.
Per their conversation, they were introduced to each other at a mutual's party and, despite having rather opposite personalities (Sungkyug's extrovert to Yoongi's introvert), they found common ground somewhere and have continued to be friends.
2. In their friend circle, Yoongi's considered the maknae, i.e the youngest person.
Sungkyung brings up an interesting point in how, in BTS (while also implying in the Kpop world at large), Yoongi's position has always been that of a hyung or sunbaenim, i.e. the eldest. As it happens, there's only a few months' difference between him and Jin (the official eldest in BTS). So, Sungkyung ad the rest of her and Yoongi's friends do enjoy babying Yoongi. It's worth nothing that Yoongi IS the maknae in his blood family as he has an older brother.
The only reason why I know who Sungkyung is has to do with her starring role in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo, a 2016 Kdrama that I started but never got around finishing it for reasons I can't remember at the moment.
In any case, this episode vibe is extremely casual. Viewers might feel like they're eavesdropping on someone else's convo. That said, I can't say that the episode left a huge impression on me or has anything that would make me consider rewatching it any time soon.
