Suga is very talented. I have a lot to learn from him. I really like this song. I’m so happy that he got to feature on a song by an artist that we respect so much, and also that the song did well.”

“I think there’s also a little bit of something more. Should I say fear? I focused on dancing before I started writing songs, so I feel it lacked a sense of depth. I think that’s why I run away from it.

If I were to do a collaboration, I think I can do it. But I often feel like I’m not ready for it, so I’m scared of it.”

Despite his lack of confidence, he’s motivated to do better by his greatest rivals: his members! He confessed that even though he doubts himself, his members motivate him to continue to do better!
