Min Yoongi aka Suga, embarked on a global tour after the release of his latest album, D-DAY, which came out on April 21, 2023. During the recent Seoul concert held on June 24, 2023, at the KSPO Dome, Suga left the audience astonished with a surprising revelation. He announced that one of the most-beloved tracks from his new album, "People Pt.2," was choreographed by his fellow BTS bandmate, J-Hope. This unexpected news overwhelmed the fans, who couldn't contain their emotions upon hearing it.
"Shoutout to J-hope. I want to thank him for making the choreography for this song," Min Yoongi said.
Suga's "People Pt.2," which features the acclaimed K-pop soloist IU, serves as a sequel to the previously released "People" track. J-hope, renowned as the main dancer of BTS, has a history of choreographing numerous songs for the group. However, given that J-hope is currently fulfilling his military service obligations, it came as a delightful surprise to the audience that he had choreographed a song for Suga prior to his departure.
