Being the famous and dominant person of the day seems to be something to be proud of, but it is also very difficult for BTS. Especially in communicating as well as making friends with colleagues in their industry.

Recently, in SUGA's newly released Suchwita episode, he mentioned this and also shared the same thoughts of RM and Jin. He then received a helpful piece of advice from actor Shin Dong Yup.

Here is an interesting conversation between the actor and SUGA about this issue:

SUGA is back with the second episode of Suchwita, which was shot on a new and improved setting after the successful first episode with RM. As promised when the variety show was announced, guests will include "people from a variety of backgrounds" who will bond over alcohol and music while sharing honest stories with each other.

In his second episode, SUGA was joined not by idols but by comedian Shin Dong Yup, a famous MC in Korea who had previously worked with BTS members. A famous star himself, Shin Dong Yup shared that he currently has a filming schedule almost every day but was happy to accept SUGA's invitation to be a special guest on Suchwita.

Coming from a similar entertainment industry background with different personalities, SUGA and Shin Dong Yup are more open to discussions over cups of wine. They shared their drinking habits, methods of relieving stress or stories about their profession and traditional customs.

The episode features a mix of humorous moments and insightful discussions. Especially when Shin Dong Yup mentioned BTS's incredible popularity. He discovered this while they were filming the KBS special Let's BTS together.

He even commented that many industry veterans bow to younger groups when they see that popularity. But on the contrary, SUGA also said that it is this popularity that has made the distance between BTS and other colleagues become further.

Not only SUGA, but Jin - who performed many variety shows before being discharged from the army, also confided this to him after returning from filming. He told SUGA that people don't seem to feel comfortable around BTS.

SUGA talked about BTS's inherent bias in popularity that often makes it difficult for people to approach them, including their peers. Aside from Jin and SUGA, RM previously discussed this in an interview in PROOF's collectibles edition and shared how he started shutting himself down after the difficulties connecting with people after becoming famous. sudden sound.

SUGA shared that he and Jin have had similar experiences and that sometimes it frustrates the BTS members because they don't see themselves as unapproachable or uncomfortable around other people. But the barrier of popularity still makes others hesitant to approach them.

Shin Dong Yup considers sympathetically while saying that it may be because BTS doesn't often appear on variety shows created outside of their company due to HYBE Labels' strict policies on employment such as so. Instead, people often see them on the news and fail to fully understand the fun, genuine, and approachable side of their personality.

BTS has more freedom to be themselves in their own content, such as their chaotic BTS Run or In The SOOP reality episodes. SUGA also agrees with this and jokes that his members are funny and "out of their right mind."

Shin Dong Yup comforted Suga by sharing that he’s observed across the industry that peers have begun using more formal language with each other as a commonplace and even sees it among married couples. Therefore, the fact that BTS and other colleagues are more uncomfortable when combined with each other is also affected.

BTS members have been spending more time since branching out late beyond their usual activities and collaborating with artists from other agencies. Through these connections, hopefully the BTS members will be able to show their lovely personalities even more.
