On his birthday, Suga went live to connect with fans, casually chatting about his day. That’s when he spotted messages from fans who were fasting for Ramadan.
Instead of skimming past, he dove right in with curiosity and genuine warmth. “Some of you are observing Ramadan. They say they’re fasting. But as far as I know, you can eat once the sun goes down. Is that right? It must be. I’m also just having my first meal after sunset,” he said.
