Talking about their performance, Suga had previously told Weverse magazine, “We actually practiced really hard. (laughs) We’re not going to do that kind of performance again for quite a while. We had a part that involved clothes and there was a dance break in the middle, too. The process of getting ready was extremely hectic, too: Seokjin got hurt, and Hobi and Jung Kook were in quarantine, so there were times when it was just four of us. It was an experience I won’t soon forget. And the directors were really enthusiastic about the performance. So it was a bit stressful getting ready … but I guess it was also sort of fun, looking back now.”

Suga will next perform in Indonesia’s Jakarta from May 26-28, in Thailand’s Bangkok on June 10-11, and in Singapore on June 17-18, a part of his ongoing world tour.
