On April 11, at 10 PM KST, Suchwita Episode 8 premiered (a web talk show hosted by BTS’ Suga) and became the talk of the town as fellow HYBE Label mates – TOMORROW X TOGETHER members Yeonjun and Taehyun – guest appeared on the latest episode. The talk show witnessed the respective artists chugging drinks and getting in the mood to talk things over candidly and more openly.
Previously, in Episode 7, Suga was joined by fellow BTS member Jimin, who couldn’t stop laughing throughout the episode as he continued discussing various topics of interest with the K-pop boy group’s rapper. Similarly, this time around, two out of five TXT members, also juniors to the septet members, came out to discuss all kinds of life experiences and stories with the elder artist from the same label.
They also presented their latest and fifth EP, The Name Chapter: Temptation, to the host. As the episode progressed, he not only exchanged words about how experience teaches one numerous things but also congratulated the TXT members on breaking records with the album they released this January. The conversation soon shifted to sharing their insights on BIGHIT’s training system and how many trainees left before debuting as artists. This serious discussion led them to thank their respective fanbases (ARMY and MOA) for believing in them and supporting them through thick and thin.
However, that’s only part of what they talked about. Their interactions eventually took a drastic turn to speak of how the TXT members, who were all strangers initially, were put together as a team and compelled to form a family with each other. Looking back at those old days, the three singers now laughed at all those memories. While Taehyun even took the time to praise the senior group member, his comical response to it generated a positive response among the audience, who thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Just like Suga, the fans watching the episode couldn’t hold back their emotional outburst on witnessing a tipsy Yeonjun, who seemed to be drunk on sentimentality more than anything else. MOAs and ARMYs noted this as the cutest and funniest interaction on the show yet. Moreover, Yeonjun’s ever-expanding fanbase welcomed even more fans after this episode, as netizens claimed to have had their heart stolen by him.

A picture shared on social media after the episode broadcast further brings the contrast between Suga and Yeonjun to light. While the former seems bright as ever, the latter has slipped into the influence of the drinks they shared over 31 minutes, again making way for a loud response from the fans. Moreover, Taehyun even shared how BTS’ J-hope is his role model, and his solo performances empower him to put in more effort.
BTS member V, aka Taehyung, also watched the brand new episode and took to his Instagram story to leave a message about the junior group being their “family”. Furthermore, now that ENHYPEN, yet another K-pop boy group signed under HYBE Labels, is set to make their comeback in May, their fans (ENGENEs) are speculating if some band members will make an appearance on the show to promote their upcoming album as well.
