BTS' SUGA holds VLive and discusses shoulder pain during performances
On May 4, 2022, K-pop rapper SUGA greeted fans through a VLive broadcast and interacted with them on the platform. The idol spoke about his production and appearance in Psy’s music video for the singer’s title track, That That, for the album Psy 9th.
SUGA went on to discuss the song’s composition, lyrics, and music video appearances and the fun that each crew member experienced on set. He particularly updated fans about the current state of his shoulders following his surgery back in November 2020.
During his V Live broadcast, one fan asked BTS' SUGA whether his arm hurt while he performed the energetic and high-powered choreography. The K-pop rapper replied by saying:
"Ever since my surgery, and this goes for the concert too, you can see it if you watch closely but I can’t use it at a certain angle. I can’t turn my left and right arms exactly the same."
BTS' SUGA continued to explain his shoulder injury and stated:
"They’re different, what I mean is that I can’t physically turn them until it starts to hurt. You can’t see it right now, but even when I raise my arms, the range of motion is different. It doesn’t hurt to turn my arms, but if i go too far, they begin to hurt."
Towards the end, the K-pop rapper stated that the choreography troubled his knees quite a bit and caused him a lot of pain. He said:
"It feels like my shoulder is firmly connected to my joints after surgery. But for that specific choreography, it's not my arms that hurt, it is my knees."
That That, produced by and featuring BTS SUGA, has created waves on the internet. The banger bop has been trending on various social media platforms, with Psy creating a dance challenge, #psyxsuga_thatthat, where netizens can upload videos of themselves dancing to the track’s chorus with the challenge’s hashtag.
