PRE-DEBUT-

SUGA began writing music by the age of 13 years old and by 17 he began composing and arranging music, rapping and performing as an underground rapper under the name ‘Gloss’. He produced the song ‘518-062’ as part of the hip hop group D-Town in 2010 to commemorate the Gwangji Uprising.

SUGA joined BigHit Entertainment in 2010 as a trainee and music producer gaining his stage name from the first two syllables of the words ‘shooting guard’, the position he held when he played basketball in high school. The name was also suggested by then BigHit Entertainment CEO, Bang Si Hyuk for his ‘pale and sweet appearance like sugar’.

On August 16, 2016, SUGA released his first mixtape under the name ‘Agust D’ which is ‘DT SUGA’ written backwards. DT stands for D Town (Daegu Town), his hometown. Under this name, SUGA also became the second member of BTS to release a mixtape. His mixtape reached #16 on FUSE TV’s “20 Best Mixtapes Of 2016” List.
