He further mentioned that his association with the NBA has increased his love for basketball.

Fans were then eager to hear about Holly, Suga's dog. The idol began by clarifying that Holly is not his dog and that she belongs to his parents. Because of this, he doesn't get to see Holly often apart from when he visits Daegu, his hometown, where his parents live.

To help Holly feel safe, he said that he usually holds her while they go on walks, and even went on to laugh about it.

When it comes to playing with Holly, the BTS star told the outlet that he typically uses toys he has at home. However, he stated that he also occasionally takes Holly outside for some fresh air, implying that he tries his best to provide a variety of experiences for the dog.

"Holly is easily frightened, so when we go for a walk and see a stranger or an unfamiliar dog or cat, he gets really scared, so I pretty much hold him while walking. When I play with him, I usually use toys at home and sometimes go out to get some fresh air together. When I went to Daegu this time, I remember he stayed being held in my arms and being together," he said.

The singer recalled that Holly remained in his arms for a long time during his most recent visit to Daegu.

The discussion then shifted to his use of the Samsung Freestyle projector, the product that he was advertising throughout the video. He expressed his passion for travel but acknowledged that his busy schedule doesn't always permit him to explore the world.
