BTS's Suga has shared an anecdote about his difficult debut.


On the web show "Shukuta," which was released on BTS's YouTube channel "BANGTAN TV" on the 19th, J-Hope appeared and shared various stories.


In the video, Suga recalled her first stay at the hostel, saying, "Do you remember when they said, 'Go back to the BTS house, we can't afford it anymore?'


"They told us to get our own place and get out, but we didn't have any money, so me, J-Hope, and Kim Namjoon said we couldn't go out because we didn't have any money," he said, adding, "We held on and held on, and then we finally raised enough money to make our debut. I wonder what kind of vision the seven of us had. No one thought it would be like this," he confessed.


J-Hope also said, "That's right. Even Bang Si-hyuk's PD said it was a miracle that they gathered these seven people." He added, "It's a good thing it worked out so well for Butter. It's a good thing none of us got out."


Suga then said, "Actually, I was going to leave. I woke up at 6 a.m., came in around 4 a.m., washed up, and slept. I was up at 6 a.m. and came in at 4 a.m. to wash and sleep. One of them thought I should be the one to carry the baton," he recalls.


"But that was in the United States. How do you make a splash in the U.S.?", which got a laugh.


"Being a team is not about being the best, it's about being a team," says Suga. It's been eventful for over 10 years, but I think the members have been able to keep it together." He thanked the members for being together.

Japan Meteorological Agency lists Dokdo as Japanese territory on weather map for Typhoon No. 7 Lan

▲일본 기상청에 표기된 독도. 사진제공=서경덕 교수 The Japan Meteorological Agency has sparked controversy for labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory on a weather map of Typhoon No. 7. On the 16th, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, sent a protest email to the Japan Meteorological Agency through social networking services (SNS), demanding that the agency correct its mistake of labeling Dokdo as Japanese land. "The Japan Meteorological Agency has always labeled Dokdo as '竹島' (Takeshima), and we have been protesting against this for three years. The biggest problem is that many Japanese netizens visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website during typhoon and tsunami warnings, which can create a false perception of Dokdo," he said. "In this protest email, we said, 'This is a clear territorial provocation. Dokdo is an undisputed territory of the Republic of Korea under historical, geographical, and international law." Professor Seo said that not o...

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Friday that it had received a request from the MLB office to check the identities of Lee Jeong-hoo and Ko Woo-seok the day before, and that the players were informed today that they belong to Kiwoom and LG, respectively.

Lee previously announced his intention to play in the major leagues after this season. His team, Kiwoom, accepted. The local media is also showing high interest in their signing.

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

   Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
