BTS has been around for over 10 years, but if you count their trainee years, it's even longer. The rapper line was the first members to live together in a dormitory, laying the foundation for the group's birth.

This also means that SUGA and j-hope were only around 18, 19 years old when they first met, but now they are over 30-year-old Kpop superstars. After a decade of friendship, it goes without saying that this duo is very close.

However, every friendship has a starting point and clearly ARMYs are curious about their first impressions of each other. In a rare occasion, j-hope and SUGA revealed an interesting memory from the first day they met at Big Hit Music's dormitory, a story that fans have never heard before.

That day was the first time j-hope came to вιg нιт Music as a trainee after being recruited. Meanwhile, SUGA had been recruited before and had been living in the dorm for a while.

j-hope revealed his feelings when he first saw SUGA. He couldn't help but laugh when mentioning SUGA's appearance with some funny details. He said, "When I first met SUGA, he was just a guy in his und3rwear at home, but now he’s a totally αwєsome host. I’m so proud of him."

The two burst into laughter right after j-hope's humorous revelation. Afterwards, the two did not hesitate to help fans learn more about this funny event.

While j-hope's first impression of SUGA was clearly awkward, SUGA, on the other hand, also said that he didn't have the best impression of his younger brother at the time. He recalled, ‘Who is this dude in braces talking in a Jeolla-do dialect?’".

But then, SUGA was also quick to explain why he appeared in front of j-hope in just his underwear. He pointed out that it always happened by α¢¢ι∂єит, whenever a new member entered the group's dorm, they always caught him wearing underwear.

"I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ I was in my und3rwear because I had just gotten out of the bathroom… but the other guy also say that I was in my und3rwear the first time they saw me." SUGA continued.

Interestingly, V and Jungkook also had similar experiences to j-hope in their subsequent encounters with SUGA.

Putting aside the initial awkwardness, j-hope later realized how well SUGA treated him and the trainees. Since SUGA had more experience than the other trainees and was familiar with the dorm, he often followed the other members to help and support them in many tasks.

While j-hope kept acknowledging how cool SUGA looked at that time as a senior, SUGA still regretted not making a better first impression on j-hope. He said, "But I’m a little bummed that I was in my und3rwear the first time we met!"

But perhaps SUGA didn't realize that it was his "cool guy in underwear" image that helped dispel the awkwardness of the new members in the dorm like j-hope, Jungkook, or V. Instead of acting reserved and polite, he helped them feel closer and relieved the tense atmosphere.

After this story, fans burst out laughing because it turns out that the friendships of Kpop superstars also started from "unusual" events like many other friendships!
