Before singing, he expressed his heartfelt appreciation for BTS’ SUGA, saying, “I want to express my gratitude to SUGA who produced this song and worked with me.”
THAT THAT is a song by PSY that came out in 2022, with production by SUGA, who also contributed a rap verse and appeared in the music video.
Currently, SUGA is being investigated by police for drunk driving an electric scooter. In light of this, PSY publicly voiced his support for SUGA.
Many renowned artists are speaking out in support of the Daechwita rapper who has been under intense scrutiny by the media for the past few weeks.
