After four years of waiting, fans finally got to witness the moment all seven BTS members appeared together at Incheon Airport for the first time. The sight instantly sent ѕнσ¢кwaves through the media: hashtags related to BTS and ARIRANG shot to the top of social media trends, domestic and international outlets rushed to cover the story, and fans screamed in pure happiness—further heating up the atmosphere ahead of the group’s upcoming fifth full-length album release.

Even BTS’s leader couldn’t hide his excitement about the group schedule. Before departing, he even dropped a hint with a photo taken at the gym, captioned: “Start!”. Then, once on the plane, he shared another message: "BTS is open for business again after 4 years", marking the group’s official return to activities connected to their explosive comeback set to unfold in just 40 days.

Naturally, moments like this turned Incheon Airport into a lively scene packed with reporters and fans who had been waiting and cheering for them. In response, the maknae line were the ones radiating the most energy. While Jimin even wore a bit of makeup to look polished as he met fans again as part of the group, V and Jungkook continuously waved and bowed—and even took a reporter’s camera to film a quick self-cam on their way to the check-in counter.

Meanwhile, SUGA maintained a strikingly calm and quiet presence beside them, leaving both fans and reporters in αωє. He wore an elegant long wool overcoat, his face mostly covered by a mask, yet his unique aura still shone through. The detail that made fans “melt” was the adorable orange beanie on his head, paired with his headphones.

The moment he stepped into the check-in area, despite the crowd calling his name and the other members nonstop, SUGA stayed loyal to his signature “quick in, quick out” style. He strode forward decisively, leading the group at an astonishing speed, his eyes focused solely on moving across the path and heading inside rather than stopping to interact with the cameras.

The scene prompted one reporter to exclaim right away, “As expected, SUGA-ssi is the undisputed number one!” As soon as the video spread online, it quickly went viral. It wasn’t only a comment on his speed, but also an expression of amazement at the rapper’s unchanging airport habit—soмєтнing the media has been familiar with for years.

SUGA’s fast-walking habit at the airport is not only well-known among reporters; it has also repeatedly become a major topic of discussion among fans on large forums like Pann and Naver. Many veteran journalists have shared that getting a clear photo of SUGA at the airport feels like a real hunt. That’s why whenever he has a schedule, they have to prepare extremely carefully just to capture his fleeting moments.

Meanwhile, when fans asked him why he always moves at full speed at the airport, SUGA answered frankly that it’s because he doesn’t want to inconvenience others or put anyone at risk.

Specifically, he said: "Well, it’s because the airport is a place where I’m not the only one who uses it and I’ve seen people get hurt and bump into each other etc so I guess I just think I should get out of there quickly so I don’t inconvenience others. I’ve seen so many people get hurt and it’s a public place so I don’t want to inconvenience anyone. I’ve seen people bump into each other and bump into doors and I’m very grateful. I don’t think it’s good for the other people there."

This unwritten rule of his is ultimately his way of protecting the safety of everyone around him—fans, reporters, and regular pαѕѕengers alike. His thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility as a top star are exactly why, even though covering him can be “tough,” the media continues to hold deep respect for him. Fans, too, can’t help but feel proud of the considerate mindset their idol carries, saying:

- Him walking in complete silence says so much… because he’s simply one of the most loving and thoughtful people. His lives for the fandom feel like a warm hug, and then you see him acting like this and you just know that even without saying a word, he’s saying a lot

- Some things just don’t change. I'm so so loving that he maintains his rule

- He doesn’t need to say a single word—his actions speak volumes

- I love seeing how he ignores k-media, they don't even deserve to be looked at

- The way he walks in silence but still shows so much care… that’s so SUGA.

- He’s not ignoring anyone, he’s protecting people. That’s why I respect him so much

- Even when he looks cold, he’s actually being the most considerate person in the room

- SUGA is the definition of gentle heart, sharp mind. Always thinking of others first

- I’m so proud of him… he’s saying ‘I care’ without saying anything at all

- Good job yoonie. Don't give them any face, they don't deserve your kindness and acknowledgement
