BTS dreamed of making music history and earning a place in the hall of fame. These dreams have now come true, but the price they pay is not cheap.
One of them is the loss of many relationships around. Not only SUGA but also Jin mentioned this before.
It has been said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. BTS seems to have been going through this when becoming the top stars in the world.
They have to go through being followed anywhere, the danger is always lurking, and unexpected scandals come, ... But what is perhaps sadder is the gradual separation of close relationships.
SUGA once shared about this with a saying that breaks your heart. He confessed how jealous he is of people who can live a normal life: "I’m really jealous of people who can go out to eat, travel, go to the movies with friends, and things like that. Those things are really special to me because I find them hard to do."
Not only that, he said that some of the other members can hang out with friends but SUGA is hard because he doesn't have many friends to do it with. He said: “Some of the members do those activities, but I don’t because I don’t have a lot of friends".
SUGA also added, that it seems to be the rule of life and he can't do anything else: “It’s not easy, so those things feel really special to me. I envy others because of this. You gain as much as you lose, and vice versa. It’s a loss of the ordinary. That’s been the biggest change. What’s ordinary to others is special to me, whereas what’s special to others is very ordinary to me.”
He even told that: "“Before you know it, your set of values for things changes. The way you see the world with your values. That’s when the most ordinary things become significant.”
Just like SUGA, Jin shared similar thoughts. He revealed that popularity had caused him to lose his friendship, and split him into two: Jin of BTS and Kim Seokjin. He also said that when he was famous people found it difficult to be friends with him. But he always wants to be friends with everyone, like a normal Kim Seokjin.
As Suga said, fame comes at the cost of the ordinary, but he isn’t facing this loss alone. He has gained six extraordinary friendships from six extraordinary people who will stand by him until the end.
