PERHAPS THE ONE THING A
YOUNG MIN YOONGI COULD
BE PROUD OF IS HIS ABILITY
._ TO PRODUCE BEATS.
Long before the idol would debut
as SUGA of BTS, he drew
literal translation of his name
'Yoongi,' and was known as the
underground rapper Gloss.
Where he comes from, who he was,
and who he is today have all general­
ly been the central ideas of Yoongi's
works, both as his aliases Gloss and
Agust D.

After growing-up-years filled with
hardships and seemingly
impossible goals, he found fame
alongside the rise of BTS as the fierce
rapper Suga. Amidst the septet's
growing popularity, Suga redefined
the term "idol rapper'' as he
determinedly, seamlessly stayed true
to his hip-hop roots.
Daegu, Suga's hometown,
has often been mentioned in his
works, a testimony to the pride
of his hometown plays in
his existence.
"This b*stard in every album
Talks about Daegu
And doesn't seem to get bored of it
You can think like that but
I'm a D boy, that's right I'm a D boy"
-Suga, Ma City
