The year 2025 is a celebration for ARMY — the devoted fandom of BTS. Why? The group is set to reunite as seven in June, once all members complete their mandatory military service. While fans eagerly await their return, they continue to shower the members with unwavering support — celebrating each birthday in style.
This time, it’s rapper, producer, and cat-lookalike Min Yoongi’s special day! Born on March 9, 1993, Yoongi — also known by his alter ego Agust D — may be serving in the military, but the love for him is undeniable. His fans have filled South Korea with his photos and videos, ensuring his birthday is celebrated with a bang.
About SUGA
Yoongi, known for his calm wisdom, has balanced BTS’ boundless energy while forging his own path as Agust D. Among the first to venture into solo projects, he debuted his raw and honest mixtape Agust D in 2016, tackling themes like depression and anxiety. Since then, he’s collaborated with global artists and released D-2 (2020) and D-DAY (2023). Despite his solo journey, SUGA’s bond with BTS remains strong — even releasing his own version of Life Goes On.
In honour of his birthday, let’s revisit some of his most powerful and inspirational lyrics, proving that “Future’s gonna be okay.”
So Far Away (ft. SURAN) — Agust D (2016)
“Dream, I will be there for your creation
When you’re not there, you want to be there, and when you are, you don’t want to
Who said people are animals of wisdom?
For me, obviously, we are animals of regret
People change, just as I’ve changed
There is nothing permanent in the world
Everything is just a happening passing through”
SUGA reflects on human contradictions and the fleeting nature of life. As fame replaced his anonymity with constant scrutiny, he acknowledges how people often chase what they don’t have, only to feel unsatisfied once they get it. The song is a reminder to embrace change and let both the highs and lows pass without fear of what’s next.
Polar Night — D-DAY (2023)
“Political correctness is also my cup of tea
Keep your mouth shut about troublesome problems
Selective hypocrisy and uncomfortable attitude
That interpretation that only suits my mood
Truth and lies are up to your taste”
SUGA critiques modern society’s tendency to twist the truth to fit personal narratives — a “selective hypocrisy.” He highlights the pressure to conform to political correctness and how people avoid uncomfortable truths by choosing sides. The lyrics question whether truth and lies are clear-cut or simply shaped by individual perspectives.
Snooze (ft. Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG) — D-DAY (2023)
“You, who’s dreaming while looking at me
I’m always here behind you, so don’t worry too much
If you’re afraid to crash, I’ll willingly receive you
So you don’t suffer like I did”
SUGA offers comfort to those chasing their dreams, reminding them it’s okay to rest. He promises to stand by their side, absorbing their fears so they don’t endure the same struggles he did. The lyrics carry a tender message — true strength often lies in pausing, and even a simple smile can bring a sense of relief.
AMYGDALA — D-DAY (2023)
“What didn’t kill me only made me stronger
And I begin to bloom like a lotus flower once again”
In Amygdala, Agust D uses the lotus flower as a metaphor for resilience — blooming unblemished from muddy waters, just as he rises above his struggles, from his mother’s illness to his shoulder injury. By confronting painful memories through the amygdala, the brain’s center for processing trauma, he embraces his suffering, showing that growth often stems from life’s darkest moments.
