It can be difficult to be inspired in the studio.

RM and Suga of BTS have always been very involved in writing songs and making music. Both of the idols started making music on their own, and because they were so passionate about it, they went from being artists who wrote music with cheap tools to global superstars.

Constantly collaborating on the creation of new masterpieces, the pair have always supported one another.

RM and Suga have previously discussed their distinct songwriting styles. Suga is highly influenced by literature and places an emphasis on words.

Suga said, "I frequently contemplate the meanings of words. We deal extensively with emotions, so I spend a great deal of time considering how words can be interpreted differently."

RM gets ideas from both the words in movies and the way things look. The idol has said in the past that he doesn't want to throw away a song because it's so personal and hard for him to make one.

RM said, "For me, [composing songs] is a lengthy process. So it hurts me physically and emotionally to throw one away."

In the songwriting process, however, both artists agree that it can be challenging to work in a studio. Instead, it seems like inspiration is more likely to hit after they've "quit" and are on their way home.

Inspiration can also hit at bad times, such as when they "get ideas in the shower or right before they go to sleep."

RM drew inspiration for the song "Wild Flower" on his newly released album Indigo from the sounds he heard while walking.

Suga, on the other hand, says he often works "in bathrooms."

Some of the composers with whom he has collaborated and who have inspired him have frequently told Suga, "They get inspiration when they're pooping."

One of Suga's mentors explained that "the process of writing is a form of excretion," which makes this astonishingly understandable.

When Suga first heard the analogy, he thought it sounded cool, but his mentor went on to explain that he literally "gets inspiration when he poops."

Which solution RM was not convinced was the best.

But regardless of the source of BTS's inspiration, they are consistently praised for their musical brilliance.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
