BTS’ j-hope recently mentioned Yoongi, aka Suga, alongside fellow group members, sparking excitement among fans. On February 7, 2025, j-hope held a special offline event, SWEET DREAMLAND, following the release of his latest song, Sweet Dreams, featuring American singer Miguel.
A clip from the event went viral on social media, showing j-hope expressing his wish to be reborn with a personality entirely opposite to his own. He mentioned Jin, V, and Jungkook. Although he picked Jin as the person he would want to be reborn, he also agreed with fans about the difference in his and Suga's personalities.
Fans were delighted to hear Suga's name being called by a BTS member, as they have been eagerly awaiting updates from him. Suga is currently fulfilling his national duties, reportedly as a social worker. The BTS rapper’s last update to fans was on August 25, 2024, when he addressed and apologized for the DUI incident.
Many fans took to social media to express their emotions. This moment was particularly significant, as it was allegedly the first time j-hope mentioned him at an event following the DUI case. One fan on X wrote:
