BTS`s Suga and SEVENTEEN`s Hoshi in Suchitwa (L) and Hoshi`s Instagram story (R)
SEVENTEEN'S Hoshi shared an exciting interaction between him and BTS's Suga on his Instagram story on July 18. Hoshi happily revealed that he received a signed album copy of D-DAY from Suga. The album was autographed with a sweet message that read, "To Hoshi from Agust D." In response, Hoshi expressed his gratitude with a caption that said, "Thank you hyung!"
The newfound friendship between Hoshi and Suga aka Min Yoongi began when Hoshi made an appearance on Suga's YouTube show called 'Suchwita.' The show, an abbreviation of 'tipsy time with Suga' and a play on his song 'Daechitwa,' is Min Yoongi's very own talk show. It features Suga chatting with individuals from various fields related to music while enjoying alcoholic beverages and food.
Throughout the episode, they discussed the challenges faced by K-pop idols, including the physical toll and injuries they often endure. Despite their struggles, they said they felt not only a responsibility but also a passion to continue performing and supporting their fans. This shared understanding of the pressures and demands of the industry brought them closer together.
In Korean culture, 'sunbae' is a term of respect used to address an industry senior, and 'hyung' is a more informal term used to address and older male or one's older brother. Considering the difference of seniority between Suga and Hoshi, the latter was being extremely polite during his conversation with Yoongi. However, Suga immediately tried to put the SEVENTEEN member at ease, explaining, "You can just talk comfortably. You don't have to be so formal with me" - and even readily agreed when Hoshi asked if he could call him 'hyung' instead. Fans of both groups were delighted to see their idols come together on screen!
