Valentine’s Day Vs White Day—BTS’s Suga Names His Pick During Weverse Live

During his recent livestream on Weverse, BTS‘s Suga had quite a discussion about Valentine’s Day with ARMYs.

Though at the beginning of the live, Suga said he doesn’t really keep up with occasions like Valentine’s Day, he eventually got so invested in the topic that he decided to search up its history at one point during the live.

what DO people do on valentine’s day? i just know they exchange chocolates.. let me look it up *reads the history* ah it’s from Rome.. ah the history goes far back

When a fan asked in the comments if he had received any chocolates today, Suga said that he didn’t because he was completely unaware that today is Valentine’s Day.

I couldn’t receive any chocolates today. Cause I didn’t know it’s Valentine’s Day today. Nobody told me it’s Valentine’s Day today. I came to do a live and figured it out

While he was on the topic, he also asked fans about White Day. In South Korea, women usually gift men chocolates on Valentine’s Day, and on White Day, the men give women non-chocolate sweets and other gifts as an act of reciprocation. White Day is celebrated exactly a month away from Valentine’s Day, on March 14.

Suga might not pay attention to such days, but he has pretty strong opinions about which one he prefers more. The difference between the gifting customs of the days seems unfair to Suga since on Valentine’s Day, you receive chocolates, but on White Day, you get only candies. And to him, chocolates are tastier.

ㅇㅏ 취향 확실한 윤기ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

개인적으로 발렌타인데이 때는 초콜릿을 주는 거고 화이트데이는 사탕을 받는 거잖아요. 불공평하다고 생각합니다. 둘다 초콜릿으로 하자고. 초콜릿이 더 맛있잖아 사탕보다. pic.twitter.com/eFHXjKL8Ez

So, in the end, his choice boils down to the gift itself, which makes Valentine’s Day the winner by association. But his suggestion is that people should gift chocolates on both days.

so on valentines you get chocolates and on white day (3/14) you get candy traditionally. i think that’s unfair.. we should do chocolate for both. let’s be honest, chocolate is better than candy
