A video featuring SUGA, a rapper from BTS, was posted on the group’s YouTube channel, called BANGTAN TV.

BIGHIT Entertainment, BTS’s agency, announced in early March that vlogs of each member’s activities would be posted daily on the YouTube platform. These minutes-long videos share the professional activities and hobbies of RM, JIN, SUGA, J-HOPE, JIMIN, V and JUNGKOOK.

So, just like RM, JIN and V, SUGA shared with the ARMYs (name of the fandom of BTS) his interests as well as his professional activities through some video images. It is thus possible to see the rapper practicing on the guitar.

SUGA, whose real name is YOONGI, is known for his talent as a pianist, a talent that is often put forward for the group. Indeed, SUGA has already made BTS benefit from its knowledge of piano during performances or by integrating it into music videos as was the case for “Blood sweat and tears“. “First love“, a solo song by the rapper, deals with this passion in particular on the album “WINGS”. However, recently, the artist announced during a live that he had started learning the guitar, learning that he ended up sharing subsequently on the occasion of other lives on the VLIVE application and that it is also possible to see in the MV of “Life goes on“. This desire to share his new attraction for the guitar is therefore also conveyed in the rapper’s vlog since the main scenes are centered on SUGA practicing with this musical instrument.

In addition, it is also possible to see YOONGI during his professional activities, especially when recording performances. Still, the rapper was unable to participate in all of BTS’s performances this year. Indeed, SUGA had to undergo surgery which required several months of re-education preventing him from participating in BTS appearances for the ceremonies and end-of-year interview. Highlighting the few performances in which the rapper was able to participate shows his attachment and his passion for his work.
