He divided the choreography into small pieces for them to practice fluently and then put them together into a complete song. But that makes BTS' performances always good.

When asked, “How many times a day do you practice dancing?”, SUGA shared how much time he had to spend before debuting because he had no background in choreography before. He replied, “In my case, I came to Seoul without taking dance lessons before. I was asked by them to train hard six months before my debut.”

He continued: “After that, I just danced all the time except sleeping and eating. I'm used to it now, everyone has their own style, but when we get together, it takes less than three hours. And we do that for 2 weeks straight".

Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-seok seemed surprised by this: "The fact that we keep talking like this, because we talk about this too much, so I don’t know what the two of them are like, but actually, it’s a really amazing thing", he praised BTS.
