   We all know that Suga is an amazing rapper, lyricist and producer. He has often put his most sincere feelings and thoughts in his music. Although he is an amazing artist and performer, many still don't acknowledge him for being anything more than an idol. And that's a title that still comes with a lot of prejudice in South Korea. From being called talentless, assumptions about his sexuality, all the way to being blatantly called crazy, Suga has faced it all.

  Suga says he started writing music at around 13 yrs old. By 17 he was working at a record studio part-time. He learned to compose and arrange music, while rapping in underground performance spaces. He's told us, in words and through lyrics, that he's battled depression and mental issues for many years. He's said that he had experienced anxiety about performing to the point where he hid in a bathroom stall. His music, both solo and through BTS, have related his struggles. He's been so brave to talk about this in a country that frowns on mental health discussions. He's shared his highs and lows, while bringing a spotlight to this problem in his country. For many, he's voiced what they couldn't bring themselves to say.

   Yet there are people who still find reasons to hate him. But what has Suga done about it? He takes it all, using it as energy. Then he puts it through a filter, makes it into lyrics and transforms it into music. And success! If only Suga had a dollar for every time someone sent hate his way. Oh, wait...

   We recommend listening to his solo mixtape, Agust D,  if you've somehow missed out. And if you want further proof of how well he handles his haters, we'd recommend DDAENG.

Guess what? We have some fun facts (we think) that we'd  like to share with you, occasionally, A.R.M.Y.! The first is going back to our roots, a little bit. And it's about the name Bangtan Sonyeondan. That's 방탄소년단 in Korean. The name translates roughly to Bulletproof BoyScouts, which is why they were called the bulletproof boys, too. 

    JHope is in charge of explaining the name, and he's got it down cold, now. He says: "The meaning of Bangtan is to guard against something. So [our name] means that we boldly defend our music and our value/worth."  Great, huh?! In the summer of 2017, BigHit released a  statement saying that they were extending BTS's name to include Beyond The Scene. Since they were moving forward, and chasing their dreams instead of settling for reality. It holds the meaning of protecting youths from prejudice. 

    Since they are bulletproof, they originally used the image of a bulletproof vest as their logo. They changed to the current one along with expanding the name, in 2017. 

    Now you know!     ❄👑
