For Kpop fans, the signatures of idols are no longer a strange thing. They are also one of the most valuable items any fan would want to own.
However, there are a small number of K-pop artists who own up to 2 types of signatures and SUGA is one of them. While some have 2 signature styles due to their change over time, SUGA has 2 signature styles that represent his two different artists, one for SUGA and the other for Agust D.
Recently, some of the first lucky fans received Agust D's rare autograph and spread it on social media. ARMYs marveled at this newly released signature and compared it to SUGA's signature while working with BTS.
A signature is generally a way of identifying or identifying a person's identity. Even behind the signature there are certain meanings or clearly show a person's personality.
In particular, in the entertainment world, idols, artists, etc. are known to possess the most distinctive signatures. For them, signatures are not only to express themselves but it is also a way to show affection to fans. Every celebrity signature is valuable to their supporters.
Of course, when it comes to signatures, people often notice that each idol will have a certain and constant signature type. In some special cases, Kpop idols will change their signatures compared to when they first debuted to match their development orientation. But they will use the new signature instead of using both in parallel.
Meanwhile, although SUGA has no intention of changing his signature, he has 2 signatures under 2 different names. It's an autograph for SUGA and an autograph for Agust D. And in his first solo album release in his career, SUGA used Agust D's autograph when signing albums for fans.
It is known that SUGA is the official stage name of Min Yoongi, used by him when working with BTS. “SUGA” comes from the “shooting guard” that he played when he was in high school.
Meanwhile, "Agust D" was SUGA's stage name when releasing his mixtape. “Agus” is the reversed version of “SUGA” and “tD” here refers to “D-Town” or “Daegu Town” which is Yoongi’s hometown. A few times in previous interviews, SUGA revealed that “Agust D” also shows a different side of Yoongi, full of freedom.
Specifically, some lucky fans received handwritten autographs from SUGA and shared this joy with other fans in the fandom. On the photo of the D-Day albums signed by SUGA is "Agust D", signed in a very cool way.
Although the signature is done with simple lines, without too many details, fans still feel that it accurately represents the essence of artist Agust D. When placing the two signatures of SUGA next to each other, fans can also see that although the two names are different, there is basically not much difference in the type of strokes. It's the same way that Agust D and SUGA are perceived, it's still a person's name in the end.
Meanwhile, fans are excited to learn that Agust D also has his own autograph:
- It's cool
- Yoongi has different signatures for both SUGA and Agust D oh this man is COMMITTED to his craft and i respect that
- The AgustD sign he’s so hot
- he’s really keeping that 2 identities narrative fr
- Now i want a Min Yoongi one, just to see all three
- IM SO ENDEARED
- THAT'S SOOO HAWWWTTT
- blows my mind every day
- i need a agust d signed album
- going by this.. yoonji wouldve had a signature too
- Suga changes his voice a little for AGUST D, having a different sign for AGUST D oh this is serious business for Yoongi!!!
- Seriously so cool
- Agust D has his own autograph and it's so cool
Before the album D-Day was released, SUGA also explained the difference between the stage names SUGA and Agust D. He mentioned to female artist IU that he uses the stage name SUGA in songs or commercials as an idol. Meanwhile, Agust D is a stage name that allows him to express his restrained ego as an idol. But there, he can voice his response when others look down on him or criticize him.
He even continued expressing his thought through the talkshow: "When I go by as <Prod. by SUGA>, it's external work...like commercial songs. I usually go by SUGA. And about Agust D...In fact, there are many cases of Agust D, (representative examples of alter ego) Eminem - Slim Shady, Harajuku Barbie of Nicki Minaj,...The reason behind creating Agust D. At first, I was so fed up back then. "Why would people look down on me?". "Because I am an idol?".
Usually, I am an idol, so there are many things I can’t say it out loud. I need means to let me feel out so I created another self called Agust D.
I realized it when I was preparing my solo album this time. There is a problem! The report is that "SUGA is going to release another album", it may be a bit difficult for me to set these two people together in the future. Once Agust D's trilogy comes to an end, it might be hard to see him again...I think so for now because...as I am getting older, the less and less I get angry.
They referred to us as "BTS is back from t̾h̾e ̾h̾e̾l̾l ̾". We used to be really beaten up by many haters but I've forgiven them. Anger was what mainly created my music...They say I've become mellow...."
SUGA's also shared that after going through difficult times, he now has a calmer, more mature spirit. He no longer thinks that the judgments of others can affect him and his music. Not only that, SUGA also concluded that D-Day will be the closing album for his previous Agust D and D-2 musical series as Agust D. So this could also be the last timew fans can see Agust D in a music project.
But either way, SUGA is really a great rapper and idol!
