He is a person with a really high sense of understanding. I chose "You" amongst them(the demos) and brushed up on it. It a pop song but it has a country music feel to it+
177
Q: 'You' is a pop song that weaves together a guitar sound with an edgy beat . Did you request Suga in advance that you'd like to do such a tune?
Omi: When working on ANSWER ..SHADOW(omi's previous EP) , we (omi's team) didn't really talk about what the music genre will be+

have an artist joint session between the companies before the audition (for Icon Z) and that's how the collaboration with Suga came about. BTS are top artists and I have been listening to them for a while, especially Suga who is a multi-talented person who produces music along+
179
with being a rapper but I really liked the hip-hop sound and the world view he created so I was like "Can I do something with Suga?" and he willingly took up the offer and we worked on the song in detail while communicating closely. +

bts have always been a comforting presence to us. we rely on their words and music always in our times of need. so let us be a source of comfort for them too 😊 let's be gentle with our support and keep cheering them on.
187
Also Yoongi sang the demo!
188
omi also said he's glad he could have yoongi on board to produce the song and that he felt how wonderful yoongi and ARMY is and that he has a lot of respect for them
189
yoongi's whisper of "suga" at the beginning of the song 😭😭
190
also omi said something about the lyrics weren't decided yet??(I think during that time when the song was in production??) but in the demo yoongi put in the word "You" so hence the song's name came to be "You"
191
also omi calls him "suga-san" and yoongi calls him "omi-san" 🤣 I think someone asked what do they call each other so he replied.
192
could feel his talent and charm/was impressed by it.
193
omi also said although yoongi is a huge star , when talking to him he caught a glimpse of a man who loves music and that was very inspiring.
omi made the offer to yoongi and yoongi willingly accepted it. and even amidst yoongi's busy schedule he sent omi some demos and omi+
194
I couldn't catch much since the live kept lagging but omi said yoongi knew about 3JSB (the group omi is a part of) and accepted the offer fast and that they were in talks regarding the collaboration from a while back, before the hybe jpn x LDH audition program
