Suga, also referred to by his real name Yoongi, is often compared to a cat for his indifferent-looking yet warm attitude. In the caption for Yoongi's photo, Todd described the atmosphere captured in the frame, stating:

"In this photo, you can feel a sense of anticipation. There's that moment at a concert when the artist comes out on stage, and just before the first beats hit, there's a palpable excitement in the air."
