Like Rap Monster, Suga had a career as an underground rapper in Daegu before joining BTS, but his talents go far beyond just spitting rhymes.He likes songwriting, producing and playing the piano, and released a solo mix-tape, Agust D.

Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, started as a rapper under the name Gloss in high school. It didn’t take long for Suga to make a name for himself as both a rapper and a producer. (He was known at the time for producing and composing beats for local artists, like band D-Town, in his hometown of Daegu.) Soon after, Suga started producing tracks for more well-known artists, like Reflow, who worked with Suga on his song “Who Am I.” Suga auditioned for Big Hit Entertainment after he saw a flyer for the company’s rap competition called “Hit It.” Suga didn’t win the competition, but he did take second place, which was enough for Big Hit Entertainment to sign him as a producer and trainee. Though he planned on only becoming a producer, Suga was convinced to join BTS in 2010 and became the band’s main rapper. (He’s joked that founder Bang Shi Hyuk “tricked” him into becoming a BTS member.
