Trigger Warning: There's a lot of diet talk (within the context of being an K-pop idol) throughout this episode. None of it is presented as a negative, but as a fact of K-pop life. That said, I am aware how this might be uncomfortable or even trigger to some folks. Hence the heads' up.
Episode 15 of Suchwita turned out to be as wild as the previews had made it look like. Filmed two days after the D-Day Tour June 25th concert and airing a little over a month later, Jungkook's guest appearance was an exercise in unintentional charm.
Showing up as part of the promo for "SEVEN", his first solo single, Jungkook talked a little, ate a lot (for serious!), and had a grand old time spending time with his Yoongi hyung. And then, there was the singing, heheh.
FTR, the conversation was pretty solid (as expected from this show. Yoongi does his research and, by now, is a pretty seasoned host). I liked seeing Jungkook talk abt being an idol with a 10+ career, the back-and-forth Yoongi and Jungkook had when it came to JK being the group's maknae (youngest) and how that shaped so much of his personality and behavior in life, everything that happened w/r/t Jungkook singing at the 2022 World Cup, and general goofiness. It was such a joy to see Yoongi slip into his old man persona... even though he's only 3 or so years older than Jungkook.
I also really liked that Yoongi understands who Jungkook is (probably down to the molecular level) and so, for the first time ever in the history of the show, he set up a norebang for Jungkook. If only so Jungkook could sing to his heart's content. This meant that we got a prophecy (of sorts) fulfilled: Jungkook and Yoongi performed "That That" together. Shortly after that, Yoongi ended the show...but Jungkook stayed and sang some more, LOL.
(Like, at some point, Yoongi leaves and returns in his street clothes, laughs at Jungkook's rendition of "Daechwita", and leaves again.)
In any case, this ended up being the longest Suchwita episode so far. Clocking at 39 mins and change for the actual!episode with another 15-min and change segment of Jungkook singing to his heart's content.
