Hi Virginia! It was really nice to take a trip down your podcast train lane with your full love of BTS wow. I have my own blog in order to study English with BTS contents such as news articles, tweets and etc… then I’m a little bit .. suga’s undercut kink (I learned this word kink today hahaha) so searched the keyword on Google and the mysterious Google algorism brought me your website. Your website is really interesting! Thank you for your quality contents of BTS! 🙂
I fully listened to the clip, Virginia and found your podcast channel and put it in my podcast list. Won’t be bored on my way to work from tomorrow 🙂 While listening, I felt my eyes became wet… it’s exactly the same as what I thought about Suga.. He’s my ultimate bias too. When I didn’t know much about BTS, one of my friends she came to Singapore to see their concert. Back then I stayed in Singapore which is one of the hottest nations in the world and I was so surprised by her coming to the country only for seeing their concert. Then, very next month, I accidentally watched a fanmade video of JK and he’s the person who drew me into BTS lol like you, Suga wasn’t the person who let me get into them, his personality so much attracted to me and he’s fundamentally not a good looking guy HAHA his looking and hairstyle is visually the best to me. Yes he seems cranky sometimes and always set back being quiet but on the other hand, he seeks attention and care from other members which is the point why I started sucking deeper into him! I don’t like the TV show, Idol Star Athletics Championships (It’s stupid…), though, I found him seeking other members’ supporting and praises after finishing the short meter race but others didn’t notice him and he’s pouting while never giving up catching members’ attention! The look of Suga and gesture like a little kid moment attacked me a lot sobbing. One day RM mentioned he always wants members to love him in a magazine.. I started loving him and his many aspects and duality. Because of my limited English, I’m unable to express how his durability caught me better but I’m pretty sure you understand what I’m saying, Mandarin Mama hahaha like you I was having a hard time for a while because I suffered from heartbroken…hmmm…BTS and suga’s works really made my life more colorful… 🙂 Like you, I like the way his interpretation of his whole life and how they end up being part of his songs… he’s honest. I love his honesty. He talked about his deep dark side like depression, social phobia and even suicide attempt in his mixtape…it’s so brave and courageous and further the most interesting part to me while listening to his old mixtape, he had kind of sense of inferior feeling for rich classmates (yeah..his high school he attended when he moved to Seoul, is full of kids from rich families..) as much as he showed desire to be rich and successful … some fans like me found BTS at over their 30s or 40s usually say why I couldn’t recognize them when they debuted! I think it’s enjoyable too to take down their histories from raw to this big … it makes me sentimental. Back then, Suga organized HONEY FM, he mentioned winning of the artist of the year award and members a bit chuckled how dare… I saw it after they are so well in Korea as well as west, I felt like I wanted to go to the group douting (or even cannot imagine) their success in about 2-3 years and whispered like hey, he’s minstradamus one Suga put out the universe it comes true 🙂 Oh… it’s so long I became talkative! I love his recent work, interlude shadow …so much. Some people say it’s about their stalker and people making money to take advantage of them.. well it’s true but I don’t think the song symbolizes only one topic Rather, I feel like it’s all about him, Suga himself. He knows himself well and I love his attitude toward life. It’s obviously heartbreaking whenever he mentions that their fame will not last forever but at the same time, I love his deeper examination about their states… thank you so much for your quality content, Virginia! If you don’t mind, could I please copy your podcast URL and past it on my own blog which is for studying English :)? Hope many Korean armys who learning English with BTS find your contents! it’s so relatable!
