August-D

0. At that time, it was Min Yoongi, not SUGA

민윤기;SUGA

I was 13 years old, only in the 6th grade of elementary school.

민윤기;SUGA

By chance, I came across 'Midi' on the computer and from then on, I became interested in rap and music, including writing lyrics myself.

민윤기;SUGA

At 17, I am who I am today because of who I was then. Although I was weak at the time, I was able to blossom in the end.

민윤기;SUGA

At 17, I started working in a studio, making and selling beats, arranging music, and performing.

민윤기;SUGA

Some people say I was active in the underground, but I was just making music in Daegu.

민윤기;SUGA

To be honest, what I did in the studio at that time was not the music I wanted to make, but rather studio work.

민윤기;SUGA

With my meager part-time job, I was barely able to make ends meet even with just 2,000 won a day.

민윤기;SUGA

Jjajangmyeon is 2,000 won, Janchi guksu is 1,000 won,

민윤기;SUGA

If I bought jajangmyeon for lunch, I would have to walk home because I couldn't take the bus.

민윤기;SUGA

If you eat boring noodles, you can take the bus.

민윤기;SUGA

I was going through such a difficult time,

민윤기;SUGA

I told my story in a mixtape, not an album.

민윤기;SUGA

Not SUGA but Agust D

민윤기;SUGA

Augst D is a stage name that was created by combining Augs, which is the reverse of my stage name SUGA, and D-T, which is an abbreviation for D-TOWN in Daegu, my hometown.

민윤기;SUGA

I released this mixtape myself, not as an album, because I wanted to be free from my agency and not worry about chart rankings, so that more people could find comfort in my songs.

민윤기;SUGA

The reason people become frustrated is because they can't see the future. If they could see the light, they could follow it. But because they can't even see that light, they despair and can't move forward. I hope that those who listen to my music will find comfort and find a little bit of progress.

민윤기;SUGA

Right now, I've only reached 10% of the cool Min Yoongi I wanted to be, but

민윤기;SUGA

I will go further

민윤기;SUGA

No one who has not achieved their dreams

민윤기;SUGA

I hope you don't forget your dreams
