In this episode, we unpack our reactions to the evolving story about Suga's scooter incident as it stood on the day of recording, August 13, 2024. We discuss the media frenzy we see online versus the relatively bland media response in the mainstream U.S. press. We also share the emotions we are experiencing as devoted fans and try to offer some comfort to our fellow ARMYs. The episode ends on a lighter note as we just begin to touch upon the joy that is Jimin and Junkook's delightful new travel show, Are You Sure?
