민윤기 (Min Yoongi), also known as SUGA of BTS, and who goes by his solo-stage name of Agust D, is a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and music producer. SUGA is globally known for his record producing ability, along with his own solid musical philosophy - which is to constantly push the boundaries through his works on BTS albums, solo projects, and collaborations with other artists. Since BTS’ 2014 EP, Skool Luv Affair, BTS’ albums have included tracks produced by SUGA. Through his mixtapes under Agust D, SUGA suggested his vision as a solo artist as well. The range of SUGA’s music styles seems to be limitless, as he consistently makes chart-topping hits of different genres for himself, BTS, and other artists.
SUGA has participated as a featured artist with K-Pop and other international musicians such as IU, Juice WRLD, Max, and So-ra Lee. SUGA has also produced music for globally influential artists including Halsey, PSY, Epik High, Suran, ØMI and more. Furthermore, SUGA participated in producing the remix version of Coldplay and BTS' global hit song,’ “My Universe,” an original soundtrack for HYBE’s original story 7FATES: CHAKHO, called “Stay Live (Prod. SUGA of BTS),” a mobile game OST for BTS Island: In The Seom called “Our Island (Prod. SUGA of BTS) [Original Soundtrack],” and Samsung Electronics Galaxy’s official ringtone “Over The Horizon.”
As BTS prepares for their 10-year debut anniversary this year, it’s good to note that SUGA has shown many colors of himself as a person and as a man of the music and entertainment industries within this past decade. From running his own radio show, modeling and partnering with fashion brands like Valentino, and frequently showcasing his skills as an MC on RUN BTS, along with his latest YouTube series SUCHWITA, he is an all-round talented entertainer (with the help of the entertainment gods every now and then). On the more casual-side, SUGA is known for being skilled in cooking and painting, being a baller on the court when it comes to playing basketball, being a handyman when it comes to fixing and building things, and being in love with his family’s dog, Min Holly. There are many great things to say about SUGA as a person and entertainer, but we leave it to ARMY and other viewers to make and convey their own thoughts of how SUGA is as a person and entertainer through their own lens.
