Prior to his debut, he was an underground hip-hop rapper under the name "Gloss" that self-wrote and produced his music. Suga adopted the alias Agust D in 2016, which is derived from the initials "DT", short for his birth place "Daegu Town", and "Suga" spelled backwards.
His first self-produced mixtape, Agust D was released on August 16, 2016 via SoundCloud. He intended to release his music for free in the form of a mixtape instead of a commercial studio album, describing it as the "feeling of being trapped in some sort of framework." On the record, he discussed matters such as his struggles with depression and social phobia. Fuse TV rated it as one of the top twenty mixtapes of 2016.
Suga re-released his mixtape for digital purchase and streaming in February 2018. The success of the reissue placed it at number three on Billboard's World Albums Chart, number five on the Heatseekers Albums Chart, and caused Suga's solo alias, Agust D, to reach number 46 on the Emerging Artists chart for the week of March 3.
In 2020, he released his second solo mixtape D-2 along with the lead single Daechwita on May 22. The mixtape consists of ten tracks, with songs sung and rapped in both Korean and English. Its lyrics share his viewpoint of the contemporary world. D-2 is according to him "a documentation of myself from 2016 onwards".
His debut solo album D-Day was released on April 21, 2022. Featuring the singles People Pt. 2 and Haegum, the album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, tying him with teammate Jimin as the highest-charting South Korean solo artists in the history of the chart.
Suga is responsible for writing, composing and arranging, as well as mixing and mastering his material. He has over 150 registered songs accredited to his name with the Korea Music Copyright Association. Including Suran's WINE, which peaked at number two on the Gaon Music Chart and won Best R&B at the 2017 Melon Music Awards.
The foundation of his lyrics involve themes that are "full of dreams and hope", conceived with the intent of his music becoming "many people's strength". He cites Stony Skunk and Epik High as his inspirations to pursue hip hop music. Particularly, he credits the former's reggae-hip-hop hybrid album Ragga Muffin (2005) and its title track for igniting his interest in the genre, calling it "completely different" from mainstream music.
Suga started his mandatory military service on the 22nd of September 2023.

Agust D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know, you know, anything does know
So time is yet now, right here to go
Nobody doesn't know anymore
사랑이라는 말 (말)
어쩌면 순간의 감정의 나열
조건이 붙지, 나는 무얼 사랑하는가?
그래서 무엇보다 신중한 타입
나는 말야, 원해 진중한 사이 (사이)
알잖아, 영원은 모래성
잔잔한 파도에도 힘없이 쉽게 무너져
상실은 무엇 때문에 슬픈 걸까?
사실은 두려운 게 슬픈 거야
(두려운 게 슬픈 거야)
So far away, you're gone
Getting far away
Too far away, you're gone
I know I have to know, yeah
So time is yet now, right here to go
I know, you know, anything does know
So time is yet now, right here to go
Nobody doesn't know anymore, eh
당신은 무엇 땜에 슬픈 걸까? (슬픈 걸까?)
사실은 두려움이 큰 거잖아 (큰 거잖아)
함께 미래를 그리던 우리는 없고
쌓은 모래성들을 부숴 버린 것은 우린 거야 (우린 거야)
승패가 없는 게임이라지만
난 언제나 game loser
모든 걸 주겠다던 우린 모든 것을 부셔
그리고 떠나지, 사랑이던, 사람이든
모두가 이기적이기 때문이야 (때문이야)
So far away, you're gone
Getting far away
Too far away, you're gone
I know I have to know, yeah
So time is yet now, right here to go (go)
I know, you know, anything does know (ooh)
So time is yet now, right here to go (here to go)
Nobody doesn't know anymore (anymore, yeah)
떠가는 사람 (사람), 떠가는 사랑 (사랑)
사랑의 끝은 과연 무엇일까? (무엇일까?)
수많은 사람 (사람), 스쳐간 사랑 (사랑)
사랑은 사랑으로 완벽할까? (완벽할까?)
그래, 말야 이타적인 게 (ayy)
어쩌면 되려 이기적이네
널 위해 한다는 말은 곧 내 욕심이기에
욕심을 버리면 행복해질 건가? (행복해질 건가?)
채우지 못한 반쪽짜리 허상
삶은 저항과 복종 사이의 싸움이라는데
내가 보기에는 외로움들과의 싸움이네
눈물이 터져 나오면 그대 울어도 돼 (울어도 돼)
당신은 사랑받기에도 이미 충분한데 (충분한데)
So time is yet now, right here to go
I know, you know, anything does know
So time is yet now, right here to go
Nobody doesn't know anymore, yeah
The lyrics to Agust D's song People Pt. 2 explore various themes, including love, loss, and selfishness. The chorus emphasizes that time is still here, and nobody knows everything anymore. The first verse delves into the concept of love and questions whether it's just a list of fleeting emotions or if it has conditions. The singer describes themselves as cautious, having been an insufficiently loved child. They long for a serious relationship but acknowledge that everything is fleeting, even eternal things like sandcastles crumbling in the weak waves. The song suggests that the fear of losing things is what causes sadness while selfishness and the inability to compromise are why everyone loses in the end.
The second verse touches on loneliness and the struggle between resistance and obedience in life. The idea of fighting against loneliness seems to be the singer's battle, and they suggest that crying is okay, and it's fine to admit the need to be loved. The song concludes with the idea that everyone is selfish to some extent and that the unfulfilled desire to fill a void ultimately leads to illusion.
