On the 26th, RM and Suga appeared as guests on Epik High’s YouTube channel in the show EPIKASE—a variety program that has been receiving a great deal of love for its engaging, humorous, and thoughtful content across a wide range of topics. As BTS continues to expand its influence on the global stage, the meeting between Epik High and RM and SUGA—who have long maintained a close relationship—quickly drew significant attention.

Meanwhile, the appearance of the two BTS members on the show was part of the promotional activities for their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, which was released just last week. In this episode, they sat down with Epik High’s three members—Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz—and shared many stories related to music and life.

Interestingly, even their seniors, like most fans, showed great interest in the friendship between the members after a long period of returning to activities together. During one lively part of the conversation, Tablo asked bluntly: "Did you guys never fιgнт while living in the house in LA?"

RM did not hesitate to admit: "We did. It was late at night, we were drinking, and things got melancholy. Since we had to work the next day and Song Camp was an every-day thing, I suggested, 'Let’s wrap this up and tidy the place.' But then Jimin said, 'Hyung, you shouldn't talk to Taehyung like that, should you?' and it escalated from there."

SUGA continued, "I was sitting nearby listening, and when things started getting heated, I called Jimin over and asked, 'What is this even about?' The funny thing is, because they were both drunk, they didn't even know exactly why they were arguing. But they were both huffing and puffing in anger," which drew laughter from the set.

RM added, "Jimin was saying, 'You can't talk to a member like that,' and then Taehyung suddenly joined in, saying, 'I'm upset too.'" SUGA then revealed, "Suddenly, both of them started crying their eyes out."

What’s even more surprising is that from that moment, it led to a three-hour-long “sulking” session by Jimin and V directed at RM. The leader didn't know whether to laugh or cry, recalled: "I just suggested we wrap things up, but I ended up becoming the world’s biggest villain. I was less drunk than the two of them, but they followed me all the way to my room and spent three hours telling me how upset they were. I still can't forget it."

SUGA added, "I just kept watching and thinking, 'Why?' It didn't seem like the time or place to fιgнт. j-hope just went inside early and slept through it."

Additionally, DJ Tukutz showered them with playful questions, asking, "If you and Jimin fought, who would win? Who’s the 'No. 1' fιgнтer?" Tablo then asked, "If you and Jungkook fought, who would win?". RM replied, "Jungkook has been boxing for a long time, so I would lose. As for Jimin, I can’t say for sure. Jimin has great core strength, but he’s prone to neck and shoulder stiffness. He has a very specific weakness."

Tablo then offered a perfect conclusion: "There’s a reason a group like this lasts so long. You have to talk through things—even the 'clashes'—so that you actually don't fιgнт in the long run." This statement also received strong agreement from fans.

The fact that Jimin and V could “push back” against their leader and older brother for three hours over a reason that wasn’t even entirely clear shows that BTS is an emotionally safe environment, where every member can express vulnerability without fear of judgment. In fact, this very sulking episode—and the tears shed while drunk—served as a way for them to release the immense pressure of working in the U.S. Watching RM quietly accept the role of the “villain,” fans have come to appreciate even more the leader’s tolerance and the strong, family-like bond among the members.

As the story spread across social media, fans flooded it with emotional reactions:

- This whole show was an hour of TEAAAAAA. made me love the boys even more, I need this vminnn footage, they are such characters!!

- I can imagine the face of vmin's saying I'm disappointed. But the truth is, you only pick fιgнтs for no reason like that with someone you truly see as family. Oh, my OT7 family.

- I laughed so hard at the part when he said vmin followed for 3 hours and kept saying we're disappointed lmao, they're even funnier when drunk

- I also say the same to the person I love when they scold me because I love them. BTS is actually a family

- At the end of the day you can never separate BTS from each other

- Their bond is seriously on another level—this is what real family looks like.

- The way they can argue, cry, and still stay this close just proves how genuine their friendship is

- You can tell they feel safe with each other. They’re so close that they don’t argue over anything serious—just get sulky for no reason, even when they’re drunk

- Even their fιgнтs are full of love… that’s how you know their connection is real. I agree with Tablo too
