The revelation came during the duo’s appearance on the talk show EPIKASE, where the two rappers spoke about life beyond music, including inside jokes within the band. One particular story that had earlier puzzled fans during a viral livestream finally received an explanation.
BTS Suga talks about RM’s YouTube algorithm
During the conversation, the host asked about a memorable moment from a New Year broadcast when BTS members gathered at RM’s house. In that livestream, the group burst into uncontrollable laughter after seeing something on RM’s computer screen.
The host recalled the incident, asking, “On your New Year broadcast, you all gathered together and did something at your house. Back then, you guys were like, ‘Finally, we can see RM’s YouTube algorithm,’ and all that. The members were saying that because RM was at the computer like this, and the guys were behind him. And when it popped up, everyone burst out laughing. What was it that made you laugh? Why was that?”
Yoongi just confirmed that Joon’s algorithm was filled with those relationship-related short dramas like “What he does after a break up”, so and so

Suga then revealed the unexpected reason behind the laughter. Comparing his own viewing habits with RM’s, he said, “For me, when I turn it on, it’s like current affairs, history, world history, economics. Expecting things like news… That’s all that shows up.”
RM quickly jumped in to clarify his own preferences. “I don’t watch stuff like that on YouTube,” he admitted.
Suga continued with the reveal that sent fans into a frenzy. “Then we turned it on (RM’s YouTube) and it was kind of, you know, those short dramas, relationship-related stuff… ‘What he does after a breakup,’ stuff like that.”
RM didn’t deny it. Instead, he smiled and admitted, “I like that kind of stuff.”
