Suga Loves Music
Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, was born on March 9, 1993. While serving as a rapper in the group, he also has more than 70 copyrighted compositions. It is very impressive that he can instantly write new lyrics and compose the melody in only 40 minutes. He is an ideal example of a top rap artist. He’s also a very good pianist.
Suga is One of the Korea’s Top Rappers
I already think that having three rappers fron the set of Korea’s top rappers played a big role in BTS’s success. In fact, I think one of the important reasons why K-Pop is so attractive is that it is not just pop but almost half rap. We don’t need to go too far, for example, in “Louder Than Bombs” from the last album, towards the end, Suga‘s impressive voice and preparation for the finale of the song is simply spectacular.
Suga and BTS
Before BTS, Suga managed to gain a place in the Korean underground rap realm with the name “Gloss” (Gloss is the English equivalent of Yoongi). His first introduction to rap was when he heard Stony Skunk‘s “Reggae Muffin“. He decided to become a rapper after listening to Epik High. Suga was among the band members who signed early with Big Hit Entertainment and he spent his training period with RM and J-Hope. However, an interesting detail is that Big Hit Entertainment initially recruited him to prepare him as a producer, not an idol.
Background of the name Suga
Where do you think the name Suga comes from? Inspired by his pale skin (which he likes in Korea) and his sweet smile like candy, his boss suited him well with this name and asked him to use it widely. On the other hand, it is very interesting where the name actually came from. Yoon-gi played basketball in his younger days. His position was “Shooting Guard”. Here Suga is a word derived from the name of this position (Syuting gardeu). Suga didn’t continue playing basketball because he hated sweating. Of course, he couldn’t calculate how much he would sweat while dancing at supersonic speed in BTS.
Suga and Dancing
Another interesting detail is as follows: His boss said “I don’t expect any dance or anything from you, Suga, just sing the rap parts”. “I was officially deceived,” says Suga on the subject. Koeran bosses are unreliable, he should have known this.
While he got 13th in the most preferred idol list in 2017, it managed to take the 7th place in 2018 and 9th in 2019.
Suga bought a luxury villa for $ 3 million in 2018, continues to live together with her group friends in the residence provided to them by Big Hit. He is very firm in financial matters; gambling, bitcoin, stocks, etc. he says I definetely stay away from all.
Sleepy and Carnivore Suga
Suga, who is very sleepy (sometimes because his bandmates call him grandfather) and a insatiable eater (more precisely a carnivore), is also a very good mechanic (RM breaks down, Suga collects his back; usually like this).
What does Suga like? What does Suga dislike?
His hobby is photography, but he does not pursue taking photographs on the streets on his off days; because the he does nothing on his off days (except for his sleeping and eating routine). He likes three interrelated things: sleeping, quiet places and places where no people are.
His dislikes: Dancing, noisy places and crowded places. But don’t look at what he said he was so sleep-hungry: He slept five hours a day. Well, when you sleep that little, your mind will always be occupied with sleeping.
Who is Suga’s Best Friend in BTS?
When he is bored with something, he prefers to talk with RM because of his common long history and similar age. But if you’re stranded on a remote island, whoever you want with you says Jimin. Loving cats so much, Suga does not neglect to watch cat videos on YouTube whenever he gets the chance (Jimin is like a cat anyway, so Suga is consistent here).
Candy Suga
Suga did not find himself very attractive, his grade for himself is 50 out of 100. He should not be unfair to himself. He is handsome and he is beautiful than most of the girls when he puts on a wig without any ten-tone foundation, eyeliner, or false eyelashes. This is a pretty face.
Type of Girl Suga Likes
Suga‘s expectation from his girlfriend is that she likes music, especially hip-hop. He says she doesn’t care much about appearance and physical beauty. (His favorite actress is Scarlett Johanson; which is a bit contradictory). He wanted a girl who was very active when he wanted it, and could be very quiet when he wanted it (A bit hard to find, indeed). He had a lover before he was taken to the education dormitory, but he had to leave her when he moved to the dormitory.
This is the main story of Suga. We love him very much with his calmness and warm smile. Though unobtrusive, his fundamental contribution to BTS‘s music is definitely worth praising. We kissed you candy!
He’s ligit just me.
