On the afternoon of the 17th, BTS arrived at Incheon International Airport to head to Las Vegas, USA, for the “iHeartRadio Music Festival.” As soon as they met up, j-hope and RM exchanged a warm, joyful hug. Meanwhile, Jungkook and RM affectionately linked arms, while Jin and Jungkook created a sweet moment as they walked with their arms around each other.
The members continued to radiate a warm energy as they made their way toward the departure area, quickly drawing the full attention of the media cameras.
As usual, SUGA maintained a faster pace and remained noticeably quieter than the rest of the group. He wore a dark outfit along with a mask and hat, but this only made his porcelain-like skin stand out even more, becoming another hot topic among fans. Although he did not interact much, SUGA still showed his politeness by responding to well-wishes from кσяєαn reporters with nods.
In particular, another detail about SUGA’s appearance at the airport today also caught fans’ attention. It was the sticker on the phone he was carrying!
A brief moment when SUGA slipped his phone into his pocket was enough for eagle-eyed fans to notice a small sticker placed near the camera module on his Samsung phone. After taking a closer look at the images, many fans believed that it was a character sticker, and what intrigued them most was that the character appeared to be a black cat.
The image immediately reminded many people of Seoltang — SUGA’s three-year-old pet cat, whom he introduced to fans late last year and who has now become a familiar face among BTS’s beloved pets.
For many young people, including SUGA, decorating their phones or phone cases with stickers is nothing unusual. Still, these small stickers often carry a very personal meaning, such as an image the phone owner particularly loves or a person or animal who holds a special place in their heart.
For example, ARMYs often decorate their phones with BTS-related stickers, while Jungkook once delighted fans after he was spotted using a sticker bearing the name of his close friend Mingyu. For this reason, fans could not help but believe that SUGA choosing a black cat sticker for his phone may be an incredibly cute way of expressing his affection for Seoltang.
That’s not all. Some fans also pointed out that ever since Seoltang came into SUGA’s life, the idol seems to have become increasingly fond of collecting items related to black cats. From stickers and plastic keychains to stuffed-animal keychains, images of black cats seem to keep appearing around him — becoming another “proof” that SUGA is a true cat-holic.
As these images spread, fans could not help but discuss the adorable detail with excitement:
- Nooo Yoongi phone case sticker is Tang?!?? Omg this is so cute. Daddy Yoongi loves Tangie with his heart
