Yoongi is a man with a soul the size of the universe and the kindest heart❤🤍💜

Hearing that Suga stepped in to cover all of El Capitxn's hospital bills really hits you differently when you realize the tough times he was facing himself. You've probably heard, but Suga grew up in severe poverty, working from a young age to earn money. During his high school years, he worked part-time jobs early in the morning before school and then again late into the night after school. During his trainee days, he was still hustling, secretly working delivery jobs at night while keeping up with the demanding trainee life during the day, and ended up getting into an accident but couldn’t even talk about his injury to anyone. Even after debuting and BTS becoming famous, he was still facing these struggles. In a Suchwita episode, Suga opened up about 2016 being an incredibly rough year for him. Despite BTS's growing fame, he was still struggling financially, with the income being negative. For the first time, he broke down in tears in front of his parents, overwhelmed by everything – he was 22 and he said it was the first time he cried and showed such vulnerability to his parents. And you know, the whole thing with Suga offering to cover all of El Capitxn's hospital bills happened in that very same tough year, 2016. The fact that he reached out to help El Capitxn during such a difficult time really says a lot about who he is. Even while he was dealing with so much himself, he genuinely wanted to help, telling El Capitxn, "I love hearing you sing, and I hope your voice comes back soon. If singing is your dream, going to that agency is the right move, but first, you should get your voice fixed. I'll cover the hospital fees, so don't worry about that and get treated first. You can pay me back slowly when you can." Even after that, Suga continued to support him so that El Capitxn could rise again. It's no wonder El Capitxn feels so much gratitude and love for Suga. Were I in his position, I too would never forget a friend who first reached out a helping hand during such a tough time, and I’m sure Suga got a lot of emotional support from El Capitxn too. I can really see that they share a really special, strong bond. And it wasn't just El Capitxn who received his help. A trainee friend once shared on YouTube a story how Suga visited him when he was ill, took him to the hospital, covered his medical expenses, and stayed by his side until he recovered. They were both still trainees then. In tough situations, it's natural to focus on one's own survival, but Suga has consistently shown profound empathy and put others before himself. Despite many people mistaking him for a cold, indifferent person, l always felt that he has his own way of always looking out for people quietly from behind, without any need for the spotlight. His actions radiate a genuine warmth and kindness that might not be immediately obvious but are deeply felt by those around him. Having someone like Suga in your corner is a real treasure and no wonder Suga is surrounded by good people, considering what a genuinely kind and caring person he is. Honestly, if Yoongi were my friend, I'd never let go and just cling to him forever lol

Seeing these two in the movie together made me so so happy 😭😭😭 They’re so close and clearly know each other

Yoongi and El Capitxn are a team not only does he produced but also co-wrote with Suga some of their biggest hits. I'm glad that Yoongi has someone to bounce ideas with, a working partner that is also a friend.

for me this was the most touching episode. It shows cleaarly what kind of a person Yoongi is. he goes above and beyond to help his friends. he has a beautiful soul.

This friendship is truly beautiful. It's a different kind of unconditional love I think. One is blessed to have a friend like El Capitxn or Yoongi in his/her lifetime. Max, I like your thought that Yoongi will take praise, even though he gets bashful about it, because he sees that it is important to the other person to give the praise. I've always thought similarly about tangible gifts, but you're right! It surely works for praise and platitudes, too. As someone who typically deflects praise, I will remember this lesson. Thank you for another great video. 💜

It's so endearing to see two grown men openly expressing their love and respect for each other without worry of being ridiculed for their expressions of adoration . Perhaps it's the Korean culture where men are more openly affectionate both physically and emotionally, without worrying about social constraints and being labelled. We should all take a page out of the Suga and El Capitxn book of "It's okay to love one another." A pleasure to watch and for your honest reaction, Max. xo

Not the first time Suga's stepped up for a friend in need... there's a story about when one of his fellow trainees got sick, Suga carried him on his back to the hospital and paid his bills, even though he could barely afford it himself. But I think what was going on wasn't just that Suga cared for him-- I think El Capitxn knew his family DID care for him, they just couldn't get past the stigma of talking about his problems. That has NEVER been a problem with Suga. If a friend has a problem, he plows straight ahead and TALKS about it. He doesn't treat it as something shameful or delicate. He's never afraid to lance the boil, I think because he knows from personal experience what can happen when you DON'T talk about it. I think both of them were going through their own struggles, but instead of keeping his head down and focusing on himself, Suga reached out to help pull El Capitxn out of the mud, and by looking out for each other, they BOTH got free of it. That's friendship. And btw, some statistics: according to WHO, as of 2019, South Korea had the 4th highest suicide rate in the world (almost 2 1/2 times the global average, at 13.4 per 100,000), and self-harm was the first leading cause of death in people aged 15-34 years (of either sex).

When he felt it was time to speak to El Capitxn about his fear of singing, he did it In typical Yoongi fashion. He didn't hold a dramatic sit-down conversation. He did it casually while driving. He did the same with Jimin. He tosses out truths that mean so, so much to the receiver as matters of fact, which to Yoongi they are.

it's cool that you brought up the analogy that Yoongi is an angel to El Capitxn because that is how I first heard of him. He made a post on IG of some recording equipment that Yoongi had gifted him, with the caption "is Min Yoongi an angel?" I shared it with all of my Army friends because I was proud of my bias and how kind/supportive he was to another producer. That's when my friend told me that El Capitxn, then still known as J-Pearl I think, had a whole past career as an idol himself. These two are the same age, started in similar careers, but they had such different trajectories. But they still ended up in the same place making the same music. They're such a great friendship and music-making partnership. I think this was my favorite episode of Suchwita.

El CAPITXN’s story reminds me so much of Black Swan. When an artiste dies for the first time when he can no longer perform. Fortunately he found a different path in the music world. It was touching that they played Blue and Grey in the background which is a song which expresses V’s struggles.

Not all mentors want their protegee to be independent yet Yoongi encourage Jiyong to work with other artist and refer him to some of his friends. It's admirable.

El Capitxn screamed out his support of Yoongi during the concert when Yoongi was crying; truly touching! P.S. Always love your reactions, Max; perceptive, as usual! 😊

Suga is my hero too! I’ve never known him to BS anyone or anything, he has integrity to the nth degree, he is generous, unpretentious, thoughtful, intelligent, modest but confident and just incredibly decent. This in and of itself would be admirable, but to be all that when you are incredibly famous, talented and wealthy is a remarkable thing. So many people who become wealthy and influential change and not necessarily for the better.

"Because of you, I was able to become bright again", Suran (the first artist he worked as a external producer, also who featured in his song 'So far away')) also have stated the same thing about suga saving her too before. Seems like Yoongi have saved not only himself, but a lot of people behind the camera

They seem to be twin souls. Beautiful and heartwarming to see a friend like ElCapitxn in Yoongi´s life.

So happy that Suga have such a good friend.

I love your observation on how despite not being so open to compliments or rather not being comfortable when receiving compliments, Suga accepts that El Capitxn's need to praise him is bigger than his discomfort when receiving praises, so he lets El Capitxn have his say..

This episode is my favorite, very emotional and heartwarming. Feel so relatable to El Capitxn, have very similar situation with my voice and still I can see that people around me don’t understand how hard is for me. Very happy to see their friendship and support for each other, it’s so precious and rare to see.
