SUGA laughs embarrassedly, saying it must've been surprising to see him paint silently after asking for questions for him to answer as SHUP-D.

SG recognises there's been a long, unfortunate break for BTS but it's not anyone's fault, and so SHUP-D has also made a sudden return! He didn't realise there'd be so many - 500,000 of them - but he'll have a go responding to some!
Q1 asks how he feels, as a radio DJ of 8 years.
SG says he liked listening to the radio via mp3 (which he thinks nobody will remember, bro) when he was young, even listening to it in school.

Q2 asks how he's spending his time.
SG says that as he previously shared, he's been doing some study. Things to do with the brain, psychology, and philosophy. He's also drawing a lot.

Q4. How's the English study going?
He admits he hasn't touched English much, (re Q2), though he has a lot of passion for it. He tried to study by watching and shadowing 'Friends' but the words fly past, so he's chosen something easier.

Q: When will Yoonji return?
She doesn't want to return, she says it's difficult. SG recognises that it could be hard for her, since this isn't her career choice.

Q regarding their Bodyfriend CF.

Q asking where SG was when BTS took a picture with Ariana Grande.
SG says he was sad; he hadn't realised she'd drop by between practice sessions. Even if she'd come 5 minutes earlier, he would've been there.

Q: What does he find scariest?
SG: He's bad at picking out something that's the "most" of any kind; but he doesn't like horror movies or amusement rides much. "There's a lot of things that are scary. I'm scared of many things."

At the moment, he's happiest when he communicates with us in this way. If the situation was different, he thinks he would've chosen communicating through concerts.

Q: Any progress on the song you wanted to do with Jin?

Q: Would you release a track where you sing?
SG thinks so, though it probably wouldn't be a legit R&B song or ballad. Although, he says, you never know what'll happen in the future.

Q: Why was the draft title for Seesaw 'Flower'?
He saves his projects without much thought. For example, if he's feeling hungry, it'll be "i'm hungry" in English. He must've just wanted to write that at the time, due to the feeling of spring passing into summer.

Q: Choose the next member you'd like to do a unit with?

Q: Who's exercising with the most fervour?
SG says they're all working out hard; not making their body as if they'd enter "Mr. Korea" but in order to keep healthy and keep their stamina for the length of a concert.

Q: The member he vibes with well these days?
Recently, he ate and drank with Namjoon and Hoseok. Whenever they meet, all they do is speak about the old days, about their time as trainees. He remembers they laughed a lot as they reminisced about those times.

Q: BTS' dream, individual members' dreams?

Q: What is j-hope to you?
SG: Hope.

SG: A thought that he liked from a book on psychology: "Life has meaning because death exists." Because there is an end, there is a beginning. It could be that the process is worthwhile and meaningful because there is an end.
Q: How can I live passionately?
SG: Must you live passionately? Must you live every moment fired up? Would that be linked to happiness? If success = satisfaction & happiness, you'd have to be passionate, but if you feel it in the quiet things, do you need to live passionately?

SG's goal is to get certification to become a psychologist -- so that if he meets people like himself, he can speak to them -- because he'd like to be of help in any way possible.
Q: Advice to those who have the dream of making music.
SG: All people can make music. However, it's difficult to make good music. If your dream is music, make it. The assessment of the music will be made by the listener.

Q: Advice or support regarding personal relationships?
SG: The certain thing is that you should not try to understand them. Just accept them. If you try to understand them, it's even harder. Once you decide to simply accept it, it becomes acceptable.

Q: How did you overcome your slump?
SG: I didn't have a time I'd consider a slump ... I just crashed busily through time, because there were things that needed to get done. That's how I overcame it.

[Note: About 40 minutes in, he was already finished with the pre-decided questions, and was super confused. He thought they'd take an hour. You could hear the sudden shuffling of papers, heh. He's been taking questions live since then.
Now that an hour is nearing, he laughed, saying there were no advertisements or anything else, just him chatting for an hour. He said he should visit through Kkul FM often, and is asking for a sign-off.]
