BTS Members Keep Exposing SUGA’s “Can’t-Live-Without-It“ Habit

Habits are one of the hardest things to hide because no matter how careful someone is, repeated behaviors will eventually reveal their true nature — especially in the entertainment industry, where every gesture is under the public eye. That’s why quite a few idols have had their pasts “exposed” simply because of tiny details. You don’t have to be a K-pop fan to play detective, but K-pop fans are definitely some of the sharpest “detectives” out there. So never think you can completely hide your darker side from the public!

Just kidding — I can’t speak for other idols, but when it comes to BTS, ARMY’s sharp eyes have repeatedly picked up on their funny, very “human” habits in behind-the-scenes moments. And honestly, it’s precisely this authenticity and relatability that have made BTS so special and attracted millions of fans around the world.

Most recently, SUGA became the center of attention after fans noticed one of his “inseparable” habits. By compiling numerous behind-the-scenes photos, candid shots, and pictures taken by the BTS members themselves, ARMY discovered that SUGA seems to always be glued to his phone, no matter where he is.

For example, in the latest photo posted on BTS’s official Instagram account, SUGA was also seen sitting off to the side on his phone while Jin and Jungkook were busy fooling around with each other nearby. One fan jokingly remarked, “He has found a way to deal with the constant chaotic energy that is BTS haha,” while another commented, “Yoongi with his phone in the background of every Bangtan content.”

 

This isn’t the only time. Over the years, fans have compiled countless similar moments of SUGA. For instance, in a photo taken when SUGA and BTS departed for Lisbon to film the “Swim” MV, SUGA was seen sitting in his airplane seat, completely focused on his phone. In another video showing SUGA making his way through an airport, he was also seen repeatedly checking his tablet even while walking at a fairly quick pace. Fans even wondered, “What’s keeping you so busy, Yoongi?”

Another case happened last year when BTS stayed in Los Angeles for around two months to participate in a songwriting camp. In a photo shared by j-hope, RM was the main focus, but what made fans laugh was SUGA appearing as a “special guest” with his phone neatly placed in the corner of the frame. Once again, he was caught refusing to part with his phone.

There are countless other photos showing the same familiar pattern: whenever SUGA appears, his head is slightly bowed, both hands holding his phone with an intensely focused expression. Whether hanging out with members, during dance practices, photoshoots, or breaks between filming, he seems glued to his phone. For ARMY, this isn't an annoying habit—on the contrary, it's an endearing detail that many view as a clαѕѕic trait of an introvert who prefers tuning into his own world, whether for music, work, or simple relaxation.

On the other hand, this habit also makes fans feel extremely relatable. In an era where smartphones have become an inseparable part of young people’s lives, seeing a global superstar like SUGA being just as glued to his phone as an ordinary person makes fans laugh with delight - turns out, their idol is just as obsessed with his phone as they are.

Some fans even said they felt “comforted” knowing that SUGA also has moments of being “phone-addicted.” Social media was flooded with compilation posts accompanied by humorous comments:

- No idea if SUGA is gaming, texting, or just scrolling through the news — but that phone is definitely his best friend

- No matter how loud things get around him, he just quietly stays on his phone. Haha, he’s literally like a rock

- Yoongi probably forgot to pay his phone bill & had his phone disconnected. That’s why other members have to post him because he can’t but deep down, I know he wants to tho. It’s ok Yoongi, it happened to most of us once.We’ll wait for you until you get your phone service back

- This genre of Yoongi always on his phone captured in the background of every content

- heck yeah yoongi perpetually attached to his phone while remaining a social media hermit has got to be one of my favorite yoongi genres ever ever

- the way it's always him on his phone but never online... I hate this man but I love him too OMG

- If loving my phone is wrong, then SUGA and I don’t want to be right

- Yoongi in his own world — no matter how noisy things get around him, what matters is that he’s busy with himself, completely unbothered by everything else

- always grateful to especially hobi and jiminie cos they always sneak in yoongi pics!!..me living on crumbsK-pop fashion trends

- I’m more curious about what he’s looking at on his phone — what could possibly keep him glued to that Samsung like that?

- Yoongi probably reading stock market updates while everyone else is screaming haha. Samsung is true when they choose them as their ambαѕѕador

- He’s not ignoring the world — the world is just on Do Not Disturb mode

- Forget the plot, Yoongi’s phone has the real drama

- Being glued to your phone isn’t a bad Gen Z habit — just look at SUGA, he’s living proof

- Phone α∂∂ι¢тισи? Nah, it’s just modern-day self-care. SUGA gets it
