SUGA touched the hearts of BTS fans by remembering a promise he made to them ten years ago.
Ten years ago, on January 27, 2013, SUGpromisedto fans through Twitter that he would open a Makchang (Beef/ pork intestines) business. He wrote, “Ten years from now I will open a Makchang restaurant with the name ‘Daegu Makchang.’ All the employees will be native speakers of the Gyeongsang-do dialect and all the music in the store will be hip-hop. There, I will be flipping the Makchang, like a sommelier, while bouncing to the 4/4 beat hip-hop. A sommelier is for wine, so I guess I should be gommelier.”
He wrote another tweet shortly after saying, “Then I will be called SUGA, King of Makchang, in Seoul. Capture this tweet and post it ten years later because I am really serious.”
These tweets were posted on January 27, 2013, and exactly ten years later, fans began posting SUGA’s tweets on Twitter to remind SUGA of his promise.
With many fans bringing back SUGA’s past tweets, the BTS member responded to his fans through Weverse.
SUGA responded, “I didn’t know I’d be doing so well with my main job…Since Makchang King, Min SUGA’s main job is still going really well, the business opening will not be possible for now. Thank you.” SUGA added in the comment on the lesson he learned and wrote, “Let’s not be overconfident in the future that is uncertain even for the near future.”
Fans were moved as SUGA still remembered his promise and were impressed with the reason why he was unable to fulfill it.
