BTS' SUGA aka Min Yoon-gi wrapped up the North American leg of his AGUST D World Tour with two incredible concerts in Oakland on May 16 and 17. Stopping by Seoul for a breather, the rapper hosted a screening of his Disney Plus documentary, SUGA: Road to D-DAY, wearing a suit for the first half and changing into a "boyfriend" fit for the second.

Apart from the lucky fans who were able to attend the screening, around 70 ARMYs also won the chance for a video call with SUGA, as part of his online fansign. Per usual, snippets of the calls on social media were received with cheers, happiness, and a little dose of envy.


BTS' SUGA's reaction when asked about fans turning into cockroaches and 4 more moments from his online fansign that fans must watch

1) Yoon-gi calling a fan jagiya or honey and making them freeze up

Starting off with this clip, a very smooth SUGA flustered this fan at the outset of the call. He called them the Korean equivalent of the English word, honey, jagiya. The six-second long clip has been making the rounds on Twitter and Instagram, with fans expressing their jealousy at the fact that the endearment was not addressed towards them, while appreciating Min Yoon-gi's soft voice.

Twitter user @shumation_0309 admitted that they were taken aback by BTS' SUGA, saying that it felt like they wasted the sixty seconds of the call due to nervousness. They even begged for another chance at a call in the same Tweet hoping to do better the second time around.


2) A fan asking SUGA about liking ARMY if they turn into cockroaches

There happens to be a running joke in the ARMY fandom that BTS' SUGA often behaves older than he is, but the idol certainly felt the age gap when he was asked a strange question by a fan. After telling him that it was a trend to ask this nowadays, they asked him what he would do if fans suddenly turned into cockroaches one day.

The Haegeum rapper was certainly not expecting this question and gave a surprised look to the fan (user: @0613i1) which they called cute in their Twitter thread. While his answer to the absurd question got cut off as the buzzer rang, netizens were very amused by the question, many wondering what prompted the fan to ask him the same.


3) A Filipino fan telling BTS' SUGA that his music saved her

Many BTS fans say that the group came to them at a time when they needed comfort the most. This fan (Twitter user @urchimelle) also felt the same and asked SUGA if she could say her video letter for him. She then proceeded to tell him how grateful she was to have found him and his music in her lifetime because it meant a lot to her.

On behalf of all ARMYs, she added that he needn't worry because the fans would always be around to "support and protect" them and that SUGA should remain his "happy and healthy self". The video clip was flooded with positive comments from fans who were touched that she managed to tell him what many ARMYs want to.


4) SUGA making cat and bear ears at a fan's behest

While many clips from the movie night organized by BTS' SUGA went viral, fans caught onto the cute comments and gestures made by the rapper during the event. A fan requested him to make the cat ears that he had shown during his chats with fans at the screening.

He did show the finger cat ears (and bear ears), but not without asking about ARMY's affection for the pose. Considering the fact that fans widely consider SUGA's representative animal to be a cat, the video clip soon went viral on social media.


5) SUGA doing the infamous "Sorry for being cute" challenge

By now, most fans would be aware of the obsession that BTS' SUGA recently developed over the "Sorry I'm cute" challenge, which he made Jimin learn for his fansign even as well. The rapper has done it a few times already, but it would be a travesty to not include it in this list after he professed his love for the same.

SUGA's version of the challenge is slightly different and more chaotic, but since it is now a running joke between the fandom and idol, he does it with his signature gummy smile, guarenteed to make one smile.


Despite some fans expressing their heartbreak at not being chosen for the fansign, the response to BTS' SUGA and his interactions with fans has been mostly positive, with ARMY being pleased that the Daechwita rapper looked handsome and happy for the duration of the calls.

BTS' SUGA will soon kick off the Asian leg of his AGUST D World Tour with a concert at Jakarta's Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) on May 26, 2023. He will conclude the tour in Seoul after a month, at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium.
