A: For title track the CEO usually gives them a song and says have fun with it and do what you want to it. For other songs Suga and Rap Monster will collaborate on the beats and start working on lyrics. Then the other members will bring in their own styles, and just blend it all together.

A: JIn says Jimin because he thinks it would be fun to tease Jimin since Jimin is so shy and quiet spoken. rap Monster says J-Hope because J-hope is like the umma in the dorm and Rap Monster thinks he would do that much more for his girlfriend.
