BTS Suga Interviews Jungkook
BTS Jungkook's success on "Stay Alive" is quite impressive, but he would not have been able to do it without BTS Suga's help. After all, BTS Suga is the genius producer behind the webtoon track.
In June 2020, Jungkook shared his thought process when making music during his guesting on co-member Suga's V Live stream. At the time, he just released his self-produced track, "Still With You."
BTS Jungkook that he was just in his room with the lights turned off and the aircon turned on when he thought of the melody of the song. He then added lyrics to it before realizing that he had already written four lines.
He went to the studio and recorded the song and the rest was history. He later released "Still With You" and it became a massive hit, especially for ARMYs.
