Fans spend Suga-less birthday!
BTS' Suga has maintained a relatively low profile since his DUI controversy last year. During the Lunar New Year celebrations, while other BTS members reached out to fans with greetings, Suga's absence was notable. Fans had hoped he would break his silence on his birthday, but instead, it was Steve Aoki's special shoutout that brought a surge of excitement and energy among the ARMY.
Steve Aoki and BTS' relationship over the years
Steve Aoki and BTS share a close camaraderie after collaborating on numerous projects. Their creative partnership began in 2017 with Aoki's remix of BTS' hit song Mic Drop, which was featured on their 2018 album Love Yourself: Tear.
Later, they worked together again on the song Waste It on Me, which was part of Steve Aoki's 2018 album Neon Future III. This track was significant because it marked the first time BTS had fully participated in an English-language song with an international artist.
Furthermore, in the documentary Suga: Road to D-Day, fans caught a glimpse of Suga's close friendship with Steve Aoki, as Suga visited Aoki's home. Aoki gave Suga a warm tour, showcasing photos of BTS framed in his studio, highlighting the strong bond between the two artists.
