the rapper drew attention at the game for multiple reasons.
Though he is back in South Korea now, ARMYs can’t get over his iconic appearance at the NBA. And so can’t Sidney Raz, a famous American TikTok creator.
Raz is best known for his informational yet funny TikToks that often focus on life hacks that he discovered in his 30s. He has garnered a following of 3.9 million on the platform, seconded by his Instagram following of 874,000.
The TikToker shared how he got the seats in a TikTok video that also included footage of him interacting with Suga!
me, totally normal lol https://t.co/0bcfa5V7CC

According to Raz, he and his wife were gifted courtside seats for the game. But the two were under the impression that they would be seated a few rows back since they were unfamiliar with how it all works.
But when they arrived at the venue, the couple realized that their seats were right next to Suga’s.
Raz hilariously noted, “There were a lot of cameras because of Suga from BTS. LeBron James was there too.”
During the game, Raz shared that he was utterly starstruck, sarcastically stating, “We sat next to Suga and acted totally normal.” He even interacted with the BTS member as the two shared a laugh over something, and he noted that Suga was very nice in real life.
During the game, Raz had also tweeted that he had “accidentally kicked a drink” onto Suga, which made fans realize that the familiar face beside Suga at the game was indeed the “Here’s-something-I-didn’t-know-until-I-was-in-my-30s” TikTok creator himself!
i just accidentally kicked a drink into Suga of BTS. SORRY.

Additionally, when someone asked Raz how Suga smelled, he offered a realistic yet hilarious reply.
i mostly smelled the arena

While the anecdote has some ARMYs envious of Raz’s luck, some fans felt that they would probably not survive being in such close proximity to any BTS member.

I would have stayed but no way I would have been able to turn my head his direction. The ball could have ricocheted off the side of my face that was next to him because hell would freeze before I would chance him looking me in the eye.
