During BTS’s packed 2022 schedule, Suga found time to produce and feature on PSY‘s “That That,” which was an instant hit.

The rest of the iconic collaboration is history.

The BTS members each released their own individual vlogs last year, and for Suga’s, he visited a woodworking shop and made each member a whale cutting board.

BTS’s beautiful “Yet To Come” music video was filmed in the Nevada desert. Although it provided a gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing location for the music video shoot, it didn’t come without its downsides.
