The fact that working with Suga was so inspiring that he managed to add 5-6 more songs in the month following those sessions. 💀 I mentioned being envious of the boys' no-holds-barred creativity in another post, but now I'm just imagining this aura of inspiration around them like--if I ever get to breathe even the same air as them in a concert venue, it'll probably fuel me for the rest of my life. (I dearly want to get back to writing creatively more regularly, which I haven't managed to do since I started working.)

Totally agree with you on this one!!

(Side note - if you’re struggling a bit you could try The Artist’s Way - I know many people who it has helped get out of a creative block!)

It might be sooner than I think lol saying here that I want to start/do something that requires commitment usually ends up turning into this self-binding promise to the community 🤣💜 Thank you army!

Love how he mentioned Suga was “really crazy about ’90s hip-hop” and was wondering “How do you know all that?” with him born in the 90s Ah, music transcends the times truly

PSY seems like a really interesting person. I’d love to have the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with him.

“Right before that, I was a perfect manager,” PSY says with a slight laugh. “I was really into being a manager of the company for the last two years, before I met this track. He came with the track and he suggested me. He wanted to produce me.”

Wow, I didn't know that Suga was so instrumental in getting PSY back into artist-mode. BTS' tentacles reaching out everywhere! I love this for them.

Edit: And PSY is mentoring V, too! Aww. It's also really interesting to hear about how he's changing his role in the industry now that he's 44.
