On August 29, a video titled “Why I'm hiking a Swiss mountain in the middle of a tour” was uploaded to BTS’s official YouTube channel. This was SUGA’s vlog — a series he has been working hard on since returning to group activities. This time, SUGA challenged himself to a 29-kilometer hike in Vals, a peaceful mountain village in ѕωιтzєяℓαи∂, which was estimated to take around four hours.
SUGA shared: “Still, I think the weather's better than hiking in кσяєα because there's no humidity.” He also stopped for a while to admire the beautiful scenery, which he said reminded him of Pyeongchang. He added: “This is seriously like...Wow, soмєтнing about it...It's seriously like...[Trying to find the right words] It looks like a computer wallpaper…Wait, is that also a really old-fashioned thing to say? Saying ‘computer wallpaper’?” before finally remembering the answer: Windows XP.
While SUGA showed great interest in the scenery along his hiking route, viewers were most amused by a funny moment when he happened to encounter a cow along the way.
Rather than simply walking past, SUGA seemed immediately fascinated by the animal. He said, “Let's go meet the cow,” then walked over, said hi to it, and even exchanged eye contact with the cow. SUGA also jokingly remarked, “I think it's really curious about us too.” He then υиєχρє¢тє∂ly pulled out his phone and took a selfie with the cow as a keepsake. The editor also humorously captioned the moment: “Photos successfully taken, both sides equally fascinated?”
SUGA’s friendly and somewhat υиєχρє¢тє∂ interaction with the cow made fans laugh, but it also immediately reminded them of another “legendary” habit that Jin once exposed about him.
During a conversation with comedian Park Myung Soo, when Jin learned that SUGA had voluntarily taken a photo with Park’s daughter, Minseo, after they happened to meet outside a sauna, Jin immediately remarked, “Oh, this doesn’t happen very often.” The oldest member of BTS pointed out that SUGA rarely takes photos with anyone — not even with Jin, the oldest member of the group himself.
When Park Myung Soo suggested that SUGA might have simply asked for a photo out of politeness, Jin insisted that even that approach probably wouldn’t work with SUGA.
In fact, ARMYs have long been familiar with SUGA’s lack of interest in taking selfies. Aside from when he is promoting his solo projects or when other members take photos of him, fans rarely get to see close-up photos of SUGA, especially in recent years.
Jin seems to be the member who has the most selfies with SUGA, but even he has had to use quite a few “tricks” to get them. Jin once revealed his secret: "SUGA doesn't take photos even when I ask him to. I go to SUGA when I’m near him. I just need to take a photo and go away". In other words, most photos of Jin and SUGA come from Jin actively “seizing the opportunity,” rather than SUGA willingly posing for them.
However, after seeing SUGA happily take a selfie with a cow on a mountain, fans nodded in agreement that perhaps he is actually willing to take selfies — just with things he is genuinely interested in. The discovery also had ARMYs imagining Jin’s reaction with amusement. Many joked that after watching the vlog, Jin would probably get “jealous” and immediately launch into a full rap interrogation of SUGA.
On social media, fans had plenty to say about this adorable topic: "No hesitation making eye contact w the cow but say no w his bros. Yoongi really has his priorities straight", "The cow got what Jin has been fιgнтing for", "Jin watching this like: EXCUSE ME, WHY?", "he's so whimsical you can't help loving him", "he is a silly man i love him so much help", "Yoongi really said the cow gets VIP treatment", "The cow has officially beaten Jin at his own game",...
