Once during a live broadcast, SUGA casually shared something that stayed with many fans long after the stream ended — he said that he sometimes solves calculus problems when he feels stressed. What sounded surprising at first quickly made sense to ARMYs who know Yoongi well.
Yoongi has often spoken about how his mind is constantly active. Music is his main outlet, but in that moment, he revealed that engaging with something logical and challenging, like calculus, helps him focus and calm down. For him, solving equations isn’t about academics; it’s about grounding himself and redirecting his thoughts.
Fans found this confession both unexpected and relatable. Stress looks different for everyone, and Yoongi’s way of handling it showed that there’s no single “right” method. Some people journal, some listen to music — and some, like Yoongi, find comfort in numbers and problem-solving.
The moment reminded ARMYs that BTS members cope with pressure in their own unique ways. It also highlighted Yoongi’s thoughtful personality — someone who understands himself well enough to find peace even in something as complex as calculus.
