SUGA with TABLO!! | Our Reaction to SUCHWITA (슈취타) EP.5
Added 2023-05-23 21:00:03 +0000 UTC“The gray area”...that’s the place to be.
It is clear that a pure LOVE for music is what unites Suga/BTS & Tablo/Epik High. Both groups are approaching enormous milestone anniversaries this year (10-year & 20-year), and this interview was the perfect homage to everything they have achieved. LEGENDARY careers, enormous reach, breaking of molds/barriers, and incalculable impact on REAL PEOPLE all over the world.
Tablo seems like the most genuine, reflective, down-to-earth role model one could ever wish for. On top of that, he is a loving dad (not “father” lol) and a gifted artist.
Each time we sit down to watch an episode of SUCHWITA, we do three things:
1. LEARN
2. LAUGH
3. LOSE OUR MINDS (because of all the amazing music that plays in the background throughout these episodes). Does anybody know the name of the song that was playing during this episode…the one that we were trying to determine if it was by BTS or Epik High? And…was that Suga’s verse in Ma City…did we hear this during the Busan Concert? Because it sounded NEW & NOTEWORTHY.
Check out our reaction to Epik High - Rosario HERE if you haven't already!
ARMY, as always, we truly appreciate your love and support (WE’LL CONTINUE SAYING THIS UNTIL THE END OF TIME). Your subscription allows us to produce higher-quality reaction videos, and moves us closer to our goal of doing this full-time! Let us know if you have any questions, feedback, thoughts, etc. at any time! BORAHAE!! 💜💜
Comments
I will tell you first hand that Map of the Human Soul and Swan Songs are all time personal favorite albums of mine by Epik High and in music in general. Their first 5 albums were solid art pieces in my hip hop collection. They don't get recognized enough for their talent. Much of the world hasn't even scratched the surface of their music, but they influenced so many in Korean rap like they did for bts' rap line and beyond.

2023-08-04 01:50:39 +0000 UTCSame sister. Epic High was a game changer for me when it came to KPop. They opened the door for me to explore more traditional group in the scene. My go to fall playlist is Tablo’s solo albums. He’s just brilliant

2023-06-11 01:39:56 +0000 UTCI can seriously listen to Song Request all day.

2023-06-09 15:52:25 +0000 UTCWhen you have the time, please react to more Epik High! They’re really good!
bts
2023-05-30 16:35:34 +0000 UTCWhy is no one talking about “suga”signature whisper.. jared and jordan the SUGA WHISPER is a must, listen carefully to thier songs.. it is in the background before he starts his verse.. here’s a compilation.. https://youtu.be/VWNoFpqf8AE

2023-05-28 16:43:18 +0000 UTCI really hope you guys decide to watch the episode with TXT as well. They were the next artists to debut under Big Hit after BTS (they debuted in 2019) and some of the members have been around since early 2014/15, BTS even calls them their little brothers because of how close they've grown together. Like BTS, every single member of TXT has either writing or producing credits in the songs on their albums and post their own little covers on Soundcloud for fans to listen to. It's very obvious to see that they have the same values and ideologies as BTS when it comes to music and authenticity in their work, and they have some incredible songs in their discography as well. (Maybe in a couple years, when you're all caught up with BTS, you guys should give them a listen too) :)

2023-05-28 01:22:40 +0000 UTCAwww man I want you guys to see TABLOs cool transition into All day but I can’t find the video of it 😭. I legit thing it’s such a cool transition into a song he’s a comedic and musical genius
shanna yusingco
2023-05-25 19:15:31 +0000 UTCYes that banger was Paradise! The song that made me reaaally love BTS! So many amazing great songs on Love Yourself: Tear, that album was really a game changer to me! 1st full BTS album I listened to and I was blown away! I know you'll also looove Love Maze, HOME, they have sort of a similar vibe, bright bops with an rnb feel... Maybe Fly to My Room too

2023-05-25 16:30:09 +0000 UTCI was a fan of Epik High long before I got into BTS, but to this day they are the only 2 Korean acts I listen to. Their story is really something else, and their personalities are so much fun too. If you do decide to learn more about Epik High, I know you guys would greatly appreciate them. And you will really understand why BTS look up to them so much. Interestingly, the last concert i went to Was Epik High last November, and then i see Yoongi in 2 weeks!!! PS: I’ve been a patron for a while now, and I’ve been here since the very start of your journey but was too shy to comment until recently. Anyway, just thought I’d say I appreciate what you do and say hello. Will try to comment more frequently from now on 😊 PPS: Vice Asia has a 10-episode podcast with Tablo from last year, should you be inclined to listen. It’s called Authentic: The Story of Tablo and is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Nina
2023-05-25 06:08:24 +0000 UTCAnd here i am wanting them to react to my fav mma2019 😭 But i guess they need to know the songs before they start mama and mma.
prachi sahu
2023-05-25 04:56:54 +0000 UTCGuys pls react to mama, mma or festas already it’s been too long, you’re going at such slow pace with them content help😭
Maria
2023-05-25 02:55:18 +0000 UTCI thought once Suga started rapping on Paradise you guys would realize it was indeed a BTS song but you guys thought it was Tablo.
Skylar T⁷
2023-05-24 23:30:41 +0000 UTC@11:00 that my friends is the queen "Paradise". One of my favorites (if not my favorite) songs in the world 😭💜
jordyn perry
2023-05-24 22:48:32 +0000 UTCThe song is Paradies one of armys favorit they unfortunatly dont perform it live but jk did it once on his live haha but he firdt did not remember they had this song
chantal bavaud
2023-05-24 20:35:17 +0000 UTCParadise!!! One of ARMYs favorites!! I even wrote about it as a part of my AP English Language and Composition Exam lmao I ended up passing it and got college credit so thanks to bts for the impromptu inspiration lol I love Tablo! He's so funny, he had this podcast where he would talk about anything and everything (its in english) I would listen to it constantly while doing art projects late at night lol He's also so wise he reminds me of Namjoon a lot in that sense. Also here's a clip about Tablo saying that the homework he was helping Haru with during Suchwita was about BTS so for her citations she just put "Suga" lmao https://twitter.com/dsuga_1993/status/1634499989568208896?s=46&t=0I4u0o3SIbOuVVzXaZcPKA
Fernanda
2023-05-24 19:49:44 +0000 UTCYeah his story is really crazy. Even after experiencing all of that he remained such a great person who wishes no harm to others not even those who were against him.
Fernanda
2023-05-24 19:40:54 +0000 UTCRegarding the black-white-gray discussion, they talk about people in general not just fans or musicians 😉
Nira
2023-05-24 16:56:29 +0000 UTCThe song that you said was a banger is Paradise by BTS :D IT's one of ARMYs favorites (of mine, personally, too), but they have never sang it live.... there was a funny moment on a vlive where JK was asked to sing paradise and he didn't recognize the title....because the original title is in korean, he only knew the korean word for it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kLeOIQveUlM This is the vlive moment :D
Hana
2023-05-24 16:56:10 +0000 UTCJep, you could clearly hear JK and Jin
Nira
2023-05-24 16:49:43 +0000 UTCTo me the gray area is between happy and being in a dark stage of your life. Gray being lonely sad maybe little depressed and not knowing what to do. Or if their are other people who can relate to what your feeling. Wondering if your alone or not.
lyndsey
2023-05-24 16:48:34 +0000 UTCOh and if u listen closely to the songs Suga has produced he whispers Suga in the song.
lyndsey
2023-05-24 16:31:43 +0000 UTCThe song is Paradise by BTS, and it's sooooo good. BTS has forgotten about this song because they didn't perform it live. But whenever I listen to my Tear album I always blare this one in the car. It's a banger forgotten about by the kings themselves and the message in this song is powerful as well.
lyndsey
2023-05-24 16:16:07 +0000 UTCTablo didn't just go through some hard times.. He went trough a traumatic ordeal in which he was accused of faking his degree from Stanford. It was more than just an accusation though, an organized anti fan movement which had something like 100,000 members who accused him of stealing someone's identity, dodging the draft, and faking passports, diplomas, and transcripts with manufactured evidence and everything. He and his family were getting death threats, he was attacked in the streets and ended up not leaving his house for like 2 years or something. They even went after his mother and his brother. Stanford tried to help him by confirming his degree publicly but they attacked Stanford and accused them of being in a conspiracy with Tablo. It is a fascinating story. Here is a link to a youtube documentary about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLaOYf7qbDM
Chris Augustine
2023-05-24 13:35:19 +0000 UTCOh my goodness J&J! Please! You guys got to react to episode 6. Next episode's topic is actually my favorite. Yoongi talked so much about his past, how he came to debut and his struggles as he chased for his dreams. He was bonding and talking to someone who had a similar experience as him. Oh I really hope you'd see it soon, its such a valuable episode
Jaeyi
2023-05-24 13:29:09 +0000 UTCThe song is paradise by BTS, it's one of my ultimate comfort songs! The lyrics are gold, very precious, very valuable. I've been recommending this song for a while now! haha
Jaeyi
2023-05-24 12:28:17 +0000 UTCThey didn’t ,they put the link on one of their descriptions in one of their videos they posted!
Janiya X2
2023-05-24 10:55:00 +0000 UTCI want to add that Yoongi has a line on No Thnxxx 💜 hidden one but once you hear it you can't Unhear it.
Mirva Lemponen
2023-05-24 09:44:53 +0000 UTCI love Tablo! The top of the top indeed! Thank you for this reaction, would love to see more Epik High reactions coming 🙌 How did you hide that Rosario reaction away for a full month? 😭
Susanna Hesse
2023-05-24 06:23:05 +0000 UTCGuys with black and white in my opinion - It’s how society wants you to fit or conform into a box but most of us don’t, we live outside the box and are scared to go against what society says we should be so it’s the grey area and most people don’t vocalise when they live in the grey area and it can be lonely. That’s why we can relate to BTS and their message as they don’t want us to fit into a box but be ourselves, which is the most difficult lesson in life, so love yourself and speak yourself. 💜
My Purple Light ⁷
2023-05-24 05:18:40 +0000 UTCAn Epik High concert is so much fun! I was lucky enough to go earlier this year and it's top tier. Also, knowing how you enjoy throwing water...yeah, they loooovvvvvvve to do that haha. Strawberry is a great album. They performed Catch on tour and that song live? Hits you in the feels, big time. If you're looking for some bangers: Rosario (you've already heard), Born Hater, Burj Khalifa, No thnxxx (this one I blast as loud as possible), and New Beautiful is such a love yourself anthem. Also, the pipeline from Lost One to Yoongi's Snooze is powerful. I could go on for days about Tablo and Epik High, I love them dearly. Others have touched on it, but TaJinYo (the hateful and relentless smear campaign Tablo faced) was absolutely horrendous. He also had an extremely difficult time in the boarding school he mentioned going to. He is such a beautiful soul to have come out of all of that and remain so steadfastly humble and kind. A phenomenal role model and someone I greatly admire.
a.k.a Mo
2023-05-24 04:57:27 +0000 UTCyes i agree with you. If you want you can pause in between ,the subtitles really go fast on suchwita!
prachi sahu
2023-05-24 04:54:26 +0000 UTCYes!! That reminds me of "pied piper". If you guys want to listen yoongi whisper "suga"before his verse this song is the most legendary one!
prachi sahu
2023-05-24 04:51:25 +0000 UTCI havnt heard Paradise for quite sometime. Gonna hear it now… cause all these comments got me excited about the song again. 😄💜
Shalia
2023-05-24 04:51:16 +0000 UTCI love the great relationship you have with your siblings. It was wonderful watching the concert through your eyes. It felt like we were there with you. 🫰🏻💜🇨🇦
Cheryl ⁷ Lambert
2023-05-24 04:02:32 +0000 UTCLOL “facts” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m definitely gonna show Dereck this tomorrow hahahaha. I love it! One of my favourite parts is the dramatic random zoom on his watch while we were waiting in soundcheck line 🤣🤦🏾♀️ I love these Suchwita reactions 💜💜 (ps: my dad is obsessed with the vlog video and keeps asking me random questions about it - he even sent the video to extended family haha😭)
Steph
2023-05-24 03:45:46 +0000 UTCYaz, Paradise is the song you were talking about. That’s such an amazing song! Confidently my #1 fave BTS song of all time ! You should react to it soon pls…
blupand4
2023-05-24 02:45:42 +0000 UTCI’m always Spamming you with the song « Paradise » 😭 can’t wait for the reaction
Amina
2023-05-24 02:06:33 +0000 UTCParadise is my top 10 bts song tho💜
So Da
2023-05-24 02:06:15 +0000 UTCThat song was PARADISE. MY most favorite song in the world. In my opinion each members part was the best. Like you have songs where one member or two member stand out more than others but this song each member shines the same and it's great message great r&b vibe. Brb I'm going to go listen to it right now. 😬
Lisa Thomas Le
2023-05-24 01:27:17 +0000 UTCThe song was Paradise. It's a great song - and the lyrics, yeah, you guys have listen to it! And yes, you heard Ma City at the Busan concert. I really like Tablo. He seems like a genuine person.
Kecia ⁷
2023-05-24 01:17:47 +0000 UTCBTS is Epik High’s proof is what was being implied. Proof that Epik high was so influential it lives on through BTS music. Thus the play on the BTS album title sort of like a play on words.
Carrie Merson
2023-05-24 00:54:59 +0000 UTCTablo is a most interesting person. He graduated from Standford University with Honors with a Bachelors and Masters Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. He was subject to an unrelenting hate and smear campaign that almost ended hus career. He was accused of lying and faking his education at Standford. The cost to Tablo emotionally, financially, personally he states can never be compensated. For three years he was canceled from performing, unable to leave his home, his Dad passed away during that time and Tablo states a direct effect of the stress placed on him and his family. After clearing his name Tablo fired back with the iconic "Born Hater" worth a look and listen to. Tablo is fluent in English, so smart, funny and witty. During the pandemic he had a Podcast "Tablo Podcast" Totally English, completely entertaining, hysterically funny at times. A genius who thinks so uniquely. I really miss his Podcast. You can still replay it.

2023-05-24 00:54:42 +0000 UTCthat song you guys loved was Paradise by BTS! y'all don't even know how insane their albums are in the future💜... excited for your journey 😂
Butterful
2023-05-24 00:54:34 +0000 UTCYou guys need to do a guess the singer BTS version. I think you guys need some practice lol!The way you guys are struggling to keep up with all the songs being mentioned is so cute lol! Epik High's album is really good. It has a lot go great collabs too. I would definitely recommend it!
Rae Avilez
2023-05-24 00:48:29 +0000 UTCwhile all the tannies defend army, i’ve always noticed it’s yoongi and joon that go the hardest for that and i think it’s bc they themselves were stans. they were defending tablo like we defend bts, streaming their songs when your sad like we do bts. they get it better than anyone bc they’ve been there. it always warms my heart. i love tablo sm. most army do. he’s really active on twitter and interact with us all the time. he’ll also tell on us like he did in this ep lmao. we call his uncle tablo a lot bc of his age 😭 i also love bts and epik high’s friendship. they’re one of the only mentors bts got in the korean industry and have always had their back. epik high understood the hate bts got because they experienced it too. strawberry is an amazing album btw. y’all should definitely listen to it in your free time.
shelby🖤
2023-05-24 00:47:46 +0000 UTCEspecially Suga’s and V’s!
Bethi
2023-05-24 00:41:04 +0000 UTCwhy am I sad that you did not recognize the boys' voices at this point? lmao
Habiba
2023-05-24 00:32:04 +0000 UTCJordan, Song Request may not be the type of song you’re thinking and probably why ARMY has not mentioned it. It’s sung by Lee So Ra. Other SUGA songs (some he only produced): Eternal Sunshine, Girl of my Dreams, Blueberry Eyes, All Night, Wine, You, and We don’t talk together.
Bethi
2023-05-24 00:28:56 +0000 UTCThe song you guys got hyped about is paradise from the love yourself era. Maybe you can go ahead and veer off the timeline real quick to react to it 😁 lol. It’s a fan favorite that has never been performed live. I think once on V live RM said he wished they had promoted paradise more because it’s such a good song. You can catch V singing a tiny snippet of it in interviews such as this one https://youtu.be/1OzNJdWbH4U at 1:27 and during armypedia https://youtu.be/9o3RQuKGXR4 at 43:52. More hilariously, JK did one of his V live karaoke and tons of people requested paradise. And he was so befuddled because he didn’t remember BtS has a song called paradise , and why would he? They only have like 300 songs to their credit lol. Https://youtu.be/c29x9MQCdG8

2023-05-24 00:20:59 +0000 UTCI relate to you heavily on the drinking thing. British people LOVE to drink, and as a Brit who very rarely drinks, I often get looked at weirdly or told outright that I'm boring. But the thing is, its not that I don't agree with drinking. If you enjoy it go for it. It's just that I don't like that way alcohol makes me feel. I hate that feeling of not being fully in control of my body, my decisions, my perceptions, any of it. Plus I hate the way it makes you feel the next day lol. To me it just isn't worth it. I, too, probably drink about twice a year if that, and I really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
Laura_
2023-05-24 00:12:48 +0000 UTCEpik High and BTS have probably experienced the most hate of any other Korean artists. None of them deserved to go through that pain, but they managed to turn it into beautiful music. Both BTS and Epik High comfort others with their lyrics and speak out against injustice. They’ve done so much for their fans and for the world in general 💜❤️ You’ll get little peaks into Epik High and Tablo’s work during your BTS journey so I hope you enjoy them!!
suga_mv
2023-05-23 23:37:12 +0000 UTCEpik High just finished their US tour which sold out. The audience was most def 50/50 Army and Skool fans. Tablo is a true authentic artist and human being and it has already been mentioned .. his interactions w fans was and is incredible... so much wit and love. Thanks for an awesome reaction J&j. 🌌🖤🎵💜
Amani ○°●•7
2023-05-23 23:25:19 +0000 UTCthe song you called a banger at 8:27 min on the video, it was Paradise by BTS
IfraH
2023-05-23 23:15:49 +0000 UTCGuys the song playing in the background at the 7 minute something mark was BTS' song. I am surprised you can't tell by the guys voices by now.
Shay Peart
2023-05-23 22:39:43 +0000 UTCTablo is such an endearing person, love him and his music.
Katherine Cordero
2023-05-23 22:21:48 +0000 UTCAwwww but just think how many times you can rewatch it 😁🫰🏻💜
Cheryl ⁷ Lambert
2023-05-23 22:19:36 +0000 UTCI love these episodes of SUCHWITA. Tablo is such a sweet man that you can’t imagine how he experienced such hatred. I think when you heard Ma City during the Busan concert, you were so mind blown that you couldn’t really appreciate it as it was later in the concert. That was Jimins voice you thought you heard singing Serendipity. I love the way they blend BTS music with the artists music that’s being interviewed (when it’s another musician). You could take more pauses if you wanted to as the subtitles go by so quickly during these interviews that it’s hard to catch everything along with being distracted by the great background music. Great job guys 🫶🏻💜💜🫰🏻🇨🇦
Cheryl ⁷ Lambert
2023-05-23 22:18:29 +0000 UTCThere is never any mention of whether SUGA went out with that friend later or not. Tablo only mentioned that he did help Haru with her homework and about the source as "SUGA". That's all.
sevenprettyboys
2023-05-23 22:16:29 +0000 UTCAnd I would not be mad if you two would take time and listen to the "strawberry" album. It's one of my favorites recently. In general Epik HIgh makes great music.
Maya
2023-05-23 22:14:08 +0000 UTCthe song at the end is in fact Ma City great catch Jordan, I love this episode you can see how much Yoongi admires TABLO and vice-versa. side note, at the end when they're talking about Haru and what they are going to do next Suga actually never went out with that friend and helped Haru with her homework which, casually enough, was an essay about BTS. when she presented it at school she was asked about the source and all she said was "SUGA". this was said by TABLO in an interview
claudia lecusascu ⁷
2023-05-23 22:07:54 +0000 UTCVery cool release of Shuchita! And your thoughts were also interesting. Thank you for philosophizing in such moments! 💜
Glaseon_711
2023-05-23 21:58:46 +0000 UTCTablo has a very nice rapport and relationship with ARMY and there is definitely an overlap between Epik High fans and ARMY :)) He is always so vocal about his support for BTS, and on twitter, he's very funny and often responds to ARMY accounts and tweets ☺️😂
sevenprettyboys
2023-05-23 21:50:00 +0000 UTCTablo has a great relationship with his fans, as well as with ARMY. And he's so funny. To all the people, you should follow Tablo on twitter, he's a great dude and he often interact with people there. You definitely heard "SUGA' whisper in one of the BTS' songs, you just must not remember it. He often says it before his verse in a song.
Maya
2023-05-23 21:49:11 +0000 UTCTablo experienced so much hate that could be even discribed as witch hunt. I read about it a couple of weeks ago. 😔
Suvi
2023-05-23 21:49:05 +0000 UTCthe song you were bopping to was BTS' Paradise. And the quote "epik high's PROOF, BTS" is just paying homage to epik high. BTS' music is a proof of epik high's influence. plus, play on words since bts have an album called PROOF
Maya
2023-05-23 21:46:16 +0000 UTCWhy are you posting this finally when I am about to go into TXT 😭😭😭😭 watching this the next day and I have lots to say but first, Jared I sent y'all a fan cam from the song "catch" where Tablo was looking right into my camera so maybe that's why the song was familiar because you heard it :) Okay and y'all already forgot eternal sunshine which you started to listen to and then didn't finish 😭 during your D2 reaction. I'm so glad you finally watched this. The song 'song request' was written by Tablo but he isn't in the song. It is a lovely song but with everything we are always requesting from you guys it's definitely gotten buried under the pile. The song 'Lost One' is one I recommended especially drawing the parallel between it and Yoongis newer song 'Snooze' Anyone who doesn't know Tablos story I recommend the Vice podcast about him. And anyone who doesn't know him well but is interested because he's funny should also listen to his podcast called the Tablo Podcast :)
fox
2023-05-23 21:23:34 +0000 UTCAHHHH yessssss😭😭😭 Paradise is one of my favorites from them :)🤌
Rihab Bhar
2023-05-23 21:21:49 +0000 UTCYes that song in the background was BTS "Paradise ".Jordan was right that was jk singing. It's from their "love yourself:tear" album. This song does not have any live performances! BTS "Louder than bombs" and "Paradise" comes under the category of the songs that BTS released and kind of forgot😭since these have never been performed on stage! The closest we've ever gotten was when jk sang paradise on his live after we spammed the comment section with it! Even in Run bts they gave army a survey in which these two songs were ranked highest in terms of " the songs army wants to see live". I hope you react to " Louder than bombs" soon bc it's something i've never heard from BTS before and it will blow your mind i can assure you 💜 If you want to see the legendry example of suga's singature sound(when he whisper "suga"before his verse) you can easily find it in "Pied Piper "!.
prachi sahu
2023-05-23 21:17:08 +0000 UTCOoooou I'm soooo excited to watch this. SUCHWITA IS BAAAACK🤌🗣✨️ Thanks a lot guys, love yall🫶💜💜
