It's been almost a year since BTS announced the suspension of activities as a group so that the 7 members can focus on their solo careers and private lives. Although knowing that this is mandatory for the group due to the members' m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service issues, fans can't help but be sad and surprised by this decision.
Of course, it will take a long time for BTS to reunite after they complete their m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service. During that time, there have been many changes and it is also known that fans may choose to leave instead of waiting, possibly due to wavering beliefs or lack of patience, etc.
Therefore, in order to give ARMYs a firm belief that BTS will reunite and make the waiting time of fans not in vain, SUGA has decided to make this mark even though it will take a lot of work. hard work to do it. And when SUGA revealed this, RM was moved by what he did by BTS and ARMY:
As all ARMYs are excited, SUGA has released his first solo album as Agust D with D-Day. "D-DAY" has a total of 10 songs including the title track "Haegeum" with the accompaniment of many artists and producers that SUGA directly works with. Those are still familiar names like the exclusive producers of HYBE - El Capitxn and Pdogg, BLVSH, Chris James, IU, RM and j-hope...
After only 1 day of release, SUGA's solo album has also achieved the achievement of selling millions of copies, conquering listeners all over the world. Besides releasing a new album, SUGA also did a lot of content to promote D-Day. And of course, one of them is indispensable talk show SUCHWITA!
However, on this week's episode of SUCHWITA, SUGA will no longer be the host and will be replaced by RM instead. While RM became the host, the show was also renamed RCHWITA and the guest was Agust D.
ARMYs have been looking forward to meeting SUGA and RM again ever since they met in SUCHWITA around the time RM released his solo album Indigo. Of course, SUGA and RM still share an interesting conversation where BTS's secrets are clearly revealed.
While chatting, there was a moment that caught the attention of fans when SUGA revealed that for the process of making and promoting this album, he had done a lot of content and was also very busy. It includes 2 fansign video calls, a small fanmeeting, a documentary and concerts at major stadiums.
But SUGA really wanted to do it because he wanted to meet his fans. He explained: "I have two video call fansign events...And one mini fan meeting. I'm doing it because I want to not because I was urged to. You know how it is..."
After that, RM really expressed his admiration for SUGA's schedule. He said: "I'm so grateful for our members. Everyone works so hard."
In addition, the heaviest part of SUGA's promotion plan is his world tour schedule. According to the announced schedule, it seems that SUGA will have 2 to 3 concert nights in a week and perform it for months in many major cities around the world.
He also has very few days off to regain his strength, when only one day off between three concerts close together. The audíєnce was also really large while this time, only SUGA performed continuously for many hours.
Even RM thinks it's really exhausting and all the members are worried about SUGA's health: "What?...Three shows a week? D@mn bro. D@mn bro. The members are really worried about you"
However, SUGA thinks that constant and hard work will be better for him . Not only that, he wants to pave the way for other BTS members to go on a solo tour later.
SUGA shared: "They're worried about my health because going on tour is really exhausting...Strangely, I think too much when I don't have work. It's just better to drive myself hard.
I'm trying really hard to be responsible and since I want to show people new sides of me. It's been a while since you did an in-person concert. That's why I wanted to do this [For the members]. When we each want to go on tour we don't have anyone who we can ask for advice about it. So that's why I wanted to do this at this timing. By doing this, I'll be able to give others more advice...I'm worried and excited at the same time and I'm just enjoying it."
But soon, RM pointed out that the real reason for SUGA's tireless dedication is because he wants to give ARMY the best experience. He also understands that just through the release of songs or MVs, it is not enough to bond between fans and idols.
Meanwhile, everyone understands that it will be a long time before BTS can conduct a world tour with all 7 members. Around that time, fans will most likely feel a sense of despair. So when SUGA goes on a world tour and meets ARMYs in person, he gives them more confidence and shows them that their wait was worth it.
RM expressed his gratitude as a leader of the group to his brother: "I'm just really grateful that you're doing this. The fact that you're representing the team and going on a solo tour is a blessing but also really tough. After the world tour we had planned to go on before the pandemic got canceled [Due to the sudden pandemic], we went to the U.S. a few times but didn't get to do anything else [when all their tours were cancelled]
But if you go now and meet ARMY, it'll motivate them to wait for us. Making videos and releasing albums are all great too [Posting our content is great too] but it's not as impactful as meeting in person so the fact that you're doing that [You're doing all of this], I feel really grateful as a member and I have so much respect for you [I respect you]".
In contrast, SUGA said that he doesn't consider doing concerts his own, but he does it for BTS and ARMY. He replied to RM: "I didn't start this thinking to do soṃệẗḧing on my own. It'd be better to do this all together but since that's not possible right now
I thought at least I should do it [Just wanted to be on stage until the members are all together again]. That's how I feel. I think I really love concerts [I just love concerts]. I feel that even more as time goes by. I don't know how long I'll be able to be a singer but in the meantime I really want to do a lot of concerts. That's what I've felt as I've been preparing [Feeling that while preparing these days]".
After ARMYs listened to this conversation, they were all touched because the members of BTS have always tried to fill the emptiness in the hearts of fans:
- Its okay we're already almost 5 months into 2023
- IMO, even if there was no suga tour, armys would've been motivated to wait for them given the amount of content we are getting. I am really greatful to yoongi that he thought about us
- If they all went complete radio silence and we didn’t hear from them until 2025 I’d still be waiting. I know there are fair weather fans who will drop off, that’s just a given but ARMY will wait.
- They're about to be so ṩḧöċḳed at all the records the 2025/26 comeback will break. It's sad he thinks we might not wait and I get why as I see some "fans" not supporting the solo releases but the whole planet is going to show up for the ot7 comeback. It's going to be epic.
- After completing their m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ services, Mark my words they'll definitely comeback with MOTS7 world tour!! I have a feeling
- I don't know some will remember or have forgot it, in pandemic days yoongi been active thier lots content, n he doing it now again before they go. he knows we Army miss them, that's why he do everything on his album, he improve/level up everything. He loves Armys as BTS do.
- IDK EVEN IF BANGTAN CHOOSE A SILENT CHAPTER 2 WILL STILL WAIT FOR THEM WHO SAVED ME.
- It's sad to think that rm thinks that we won't be waiting for them. Because he is seeing what is happening to the fandom
- my heart i love them so much :((
