It's amateur hour because we don't wish Yoongi a Happy Birthday in an episode entirely about him [clown emoji here].
We continue our member series (which will progress in fan chant order) and spend more than an hour talking about Mr. Min Yoongi aka SUGA aka Agust D aka GLOSS. We discuss our favorite tracks, traits, and discuss what we know about his pre-debut background (and only manage to make it a little bit delusional).
