Min Yoongi (Suga) of BTS’s backstory in particular is one which used to consist of hardship, depression, and pain. He was born in Daegu, South Korea, into a poor family. Growing up, he was a good student in school, but rather than paying attention in class, he spent his time writing lyrics on scraps of paper instead as a means of pursuing his passion for music. He did mention that he was inspired to make music after listening to “Epik High” which he heard in sixth grade. However, when his parents found out about this, they were more than angry. They threw away all of his lyrics and forced him to focus more on his studies. It was around the same time that Yoongi began developing an interest in basketball; he was extremely good at it and would play with the kids afterschool and on the weekends. There are several clips of Yoongi playing point guard and making three-pointers with accuracy. But music was always his passion, and he continued producing despite his parents’ disapproval. At the age of 13, he began composing works and learned how to use MIDI by then. Because of the poor condition of his family, he was forced to work, but he decided to go to other places to sell his music on the streets. However, it was extremely hard to sell music, and Yoongi in both interviews and his music talks a lot about being scammed (people cheated him out of his money) for his music. One of the most heartbreaking lines he’s said was that when he tried to buy a $2 bowl of noodles, he didn’t have enough money to take the bus home; often times, he had to choose between eating and taking the bus and even more often, went hungry. Yoongi became part of the underground rapper team known as D-Town (Daegu Town) and took on the name Gloss. An iconic rap of his goes by the title 518-062, which signifies the issue that Gwangju's area code is 062 and 518 is the date of Gwangju Democratization movement. Around this same time, Yoongi auditioned for BigHit’s “Hit It!” audition. After auditioning, he placed 2nd out of all the rappers, and landed a spot as a trainee. He was eventually approached by Bang PD-nim himself, who promised Yoongi he would be in a rapper group with little to no choreography and heavy emphasis on his producing ability. Yoongi accepted, and he was then introduced to Namjoon. From that day, he and Namjoon have lived together (they’ve lived together the longest out of everyone in Bangtan), and they began waiting for the rest of the members. While as a trainee, however, Yoongi began working as a newspaper delivery boy. When delivering papers, however, he was struck by a car in a hit-and-run accident which completely damaged his shoulder. Rather than telling anyone, he kept the secret to himself and fought through the pain as he practiced as a trainee under BigHit, afraid that if he told them that he would lose his career with them. To this day, Yoongi does not have full motion in that shoulder and he no longer is able to b-boy (special type of freestyle dance) because of it. As a result, Yoongi began developing mental health concerns. He developed severe depression and social anxiety which still affects him to this day. In his song “The Last” in his Agust D album, he talks about his mental disorders which were severe enough to lead him to see a psychiatrist, and implied in the same song that he has thought about suicide (the beeping noise right before it turns to him rapping about how he’s okay now). During the HYYH era, Yoongi’s social anxiety got to him, and BTS was forced to cancel a concert because Yoongi was unable to perform. Two days later, he posted a long and emotional self-reflection about himself (transcript link below): 160110 Suga’s Tweets Today, Yoongi is a rapper, a Korean Copyright Music Association recognized producer, one of the most outspoken Korean idols about LGBT rights and mental illness, two extremely taboo topics in South Korea, and of course, one of the seven members in BTS, arguably the world’s biggest boy band at the moment. All of his lyrics are extremely reflective of himself and society, and he isn’t afraid to talk about society-consciousness issues. He has extremely thought-provoking lyrics and quotes which continue to prove the beauty Yoongi brings to the world. Furthermore, Yoongi continues to inspire people all around the world, and continues turning people’s lives around, especially those who are also fighting depression and mental illness. Some of his best works (in my opinion in terms of lyrics) include: •The Last (Agust D) •Tomorrow (BTS) •So Far Away (Agust D) •Intro: Never Mind (BTS) •Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life (BTS) •First Love (BTS) •Agust D (Agust D) Yoongi’s early life has been filled with pain and hardship, but right now, he has well-deservedly reaped the rewards for his pain. Min Yoongi continues to be one of the most respected members in this community and is one of my biggest role models. I really hope that this inspires those reading it of the man he is, and appreciate and respect him as much as I do. Edit: sorry I am just seeing the replys a year later. Thank you so much for the likes, but I would like to also say that this is info I found online. It is not my doing. It was not my intention to steal, but to spread the message of Yoongi's hard experiences. I am so sorry if I offended anyone. But I want you to know that I did hand type this because even if the info is copied, I wanted to show my sincerity Please forgive me. All credits go to the original owner of this info. I am so sorry.😭😭😭
