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.

(Far away)
하고 싶은 게 없다는 게 (없다는 게)
진짜 뭣 같은데
흔한 꿈조차 없다는 게
한심한 거 알어 다 아는데
하란 대로만 하면 된다며
그런 말들을 믿은 내가 병신이지
나 죽지 못해 살어
술이나 좀 줘봐 (술이나 좀 줘봐)
오늘은 취하고 싶으니 제발 말리지 마
뭐든 좋아 (뭐든 좋아)
백수 새끼가 술 마시는 건 사치지만
취하지도 않음 버틸 수가 없어 (ay)
모두가 달리는데 왜 나만 여기 있어 (ay)
모두가 달리는데 왜 나만 여기 있어 (ay)
모두가 달리는데 왜 나만 여기서 있지

The lyrics of "So Far Away" by Agust D, also known as BTS's Suga, deliver a message about loneliness and the pursuit of dreams. The song is introspective and straightforward about the sadness and emptiness that can be caused by a lack of purpose. The first verse reveals the singer's feeling of being lost and without a meaningful dream, which leads them to drink heavily. They express their frustration at seeing everyone else pursuing their dreams and being successful while they feel stuck and alone. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The singer dreams of finding their own purpose in life, something that will make them feel alive and allow them to fly away from their current troubles.
The second verse continues to express the singer's sense of disappointment in themselves, but they also recognize that they are not entirely alone. They want to lash out at those close to them who tell them to just follow the prescribed path in life but ultimately realize that they are just looking for someone to understand their struggles. They speak of losing touch with people they care about and feeling like everything in their life is slipping away, leaving them feeling even more isolated. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the need for a dream to reach for, something that can make this pain all worth it.
Overall, the song is a powerful insight into the struggle so many people face, trapped in a cycle of disappointment and loneliness. The lyrics offer a raw and emotional take on the human experience and deliver the message that hope is necessary to thrive in life.

I love:
Namjoon's lyrics
Jin's voice and how he conveys emotions in songs
Yoongi's lyrics and rapping style
Hobi's dance
Jimin's voice and dance and nature.
Tae's deep voice and his humble personality
Jk's voice and painting
How am I supposed to choose a bias????
How do people even choose a bias ?
@rekhasingh834
J-Hope once said that many of Suga's songs don't get selected because he writes too much truth. I get it
@wlevesoon
Oh my God hobi is so right
@k-popaddractive5579
He is super right
@alexbarreto1430
I actually agree.
@sonijeevant3455

Is anyone else freaked out by how accurately this depicts your thoughts? I thought I couldn't find the words but yoongi definitely did.
@andreajoseph111
It hurts
@wlevesoon
Yes
@JasmineDragonXYL
I got chills and tears from how relatable this is and how this guy is so real and open about certain things. It's so admirable that he keeps being himself despite all the expectations of society.
