At a past fan signing event, when asked whether SUGA had ever scolded the other members, he admitted that he had done so with others—but never with Jungkook. He further explained why he always reminds himself never to raise his voice at the youngest member: "Because doing so to a child is inappropriate".
In another live broadcast, Jungkook once shared that he had asked SUGA to teach him how to play the piano but was refused. The reason was very simple—SUGA didn’t want to scold Jungkook if he made mistakes while practicing. Scolding Jungkook clearly does not exist in SUGA’s dictionary. That’s why Jungkook was confident enough to declare: “SUGA-hyung would never scold me.”

SUGA’s “favoritism” toward Jungkook among the BTS members has long been well known. Even when the group’s maknae acts playful or teases SUGA himself, he can only helplessly “put up with it” or smile it off, sometimes even finding those actions cute.
And recently, during the second day of the Tampa concert, SUGA’s signature gentleness toward Jungkook was once again on full display—this time witnessed live by tens of thousands of fans, leaving their hearts completely melted!
Specifically, after finishing an explosive opening performance, Jungkook appeared quite tired and went to grab a bottle of water. However, he couldn’t open the container, and a small but adorable moment followed. Seeing this, SUGA immediately stepped in, without hesitation crouching down and opening it for him himself. The action happened quickly but naturally, like a familiar reflex.
The moment became even cuter when Jungkook broke into a bright smile watching SUGA easily handle the stubborn cap, then drank water with an incredibly adorable expression that reminded many fans of a child being taken care of. Everything lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough to send both the live au∂ιєnce and online fans into a frenzy over their brotherly bond.
On the first day of the Tampa concert series, there was also a similar moment where SUGA took care of Jimin. After finishing a performance, he asked the staff for water, and once he got the bottle, he didn’t just drink it himself but turned to ask Jimin if he wanted some, then handed it to him. A fan commented about these 2 moment: "Yesterday I saw Jimin looking tired and immediately asked for water, then he was offered a drink, now seeing Jungkook struggling to open the box, he quickly helped out. So sweet, Yoongi hyung".
SUGA is known for being the “cold on the outside, warm on the inside” type, so the care and affection he shows toward the members are often not outwardly expressed, yet always deeply present. Like Jin and the other older members, he also pays special attention to and takes care of the younger ones.
In a video from the series BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, SUGA firmly affirmed their relationship, saying: “They are the people I’ve spent the most time with and met the most in my 30 years of life. We’ve truly become a family. There are no other words to describe our relationship. We are family.”
In the end, fans couldn’t help but leave countless comments admiring SUGA’s quiet gentleness:
- This is such a heartfelt moment. Yoongi is always taking the best care of his maknae. He's indeed the most attentive hyung
- How could he not help his adorable maknae? He looked at this with those puppy eyes. And JK picked it up like a toddler with his bottle. That is way too adorable
- Does yoongi know im insane? Pure Dad energy right there. My yoongi competency kink is triggered
- My yoongi walked away with the nonchalant look like its nothing but indeed was one of the sweetest
- Let hyung do it for you. Jungkook knows the endless favoritism that SUGA shows toward the group’s youngest member
- And once again Jungkookie is babiest baby when his hyungs are around. We get OT7 family so back

- SUGA really is the definition of ‘actions speak louder than words’—he doesn’t say much, but he always takes care
