Suga, who is richly talented as a rapper and producer in BTS, pursues his solo work under the name Agust D.

Even while active as an idol, you can feel his unstoppable musical passion as an artist—it even comes across as a kind of inner conflict.

His less accommodating solo style shows a side you don’t really see in BTS, which feels fresh.

Solo Suga brims with raw emotion and a very human touch.

He’s awesome—highly recommended listening!
