Halsey and SUGA are known to be good friends. In an Instagram post, Halsey called SUGA her twin. She said, “I call SUGA ‘twin’ for a lot of reasons. We have the same smile, we have a lot of shared interests, and sometimes we even have the same haircut. But I mostly say it because we seem strangely (and sometimes wordlessly) connected on the same creative wavelength."SUGA responded by saying, “Twin??? I am a year older than you.”
