In the past, there were many idols who founded their own entertainment companies after retiring. Thanks to their experience as idols as well as their ability to lead younger idols, this job is not too difficult for them.
SUGA himself once cherished the idea of forming his own idol group in the future. But it seems that that intention has gradually been lσst after SUGA witnessed BTS's career as well as the difficulties that Bang PD had to go through when forming the group and maintaining the group's activities until now.
Below is the reason SUGA gave for giving up the idea of forming a Kpop idol group in the future:
Over the past two decades, the Kpop industry has become a cultural phenomenon, breaking all barriers, achieving resounding success around the world. Looking at the successes of Kpop groups like BTS or SEVENTEEN, many people cannot help but admire them, and even SUGA himself once harbored the desire to create an idol group that could gain many achievements.
Through a past interview, SUGA mentioned that if he could, he would form a music group or a hip hop label when he was no longer an artist. He even cherished this dream as a part of his later life to the point of studying how the CEO of Pledis - SEVENTEEN's management company as well as HYBE CEO Bang Shi Hyuk - trained idols.
SUGA once shared his comments about them with SEVENTEEN Hoshi: I've been learning the business from Producer Bang CEO Han Sung-soo and Producer Bang Si-hyuk. I know really well how they train their trainees. Seeing all that, I could tell how much you went through to perform on stage”.
This shows how much enthusiasm he has about forming an idol group. But on the contrary, when Hoshi asked him if he wanted to form an idol group in the future? SUGA has made a big change in his decision compared to before. He quickly äṩṩerted that he had given it up.
SUGA shared the reason for this answer: “I talked about it a few times with some friends. But it requires making decisions about someone's life. Like when you first started training and when I first started training. With young kids who are still teenagers. It's their lives...I think it'll be too much for me to handle. The heads of our agencies get their feelings нυят too. There are a lot of times when they feel really нυят by what the members say. But they don't talk about it…".
In the past, he clearly expected to create a successful generation of young idols, but when he actually went through an idol's career and witnessed the difficulties that Bang PD had to go through when managing BTS, he gave up because it really wasn't easy. So we can see how much effort and dedication Bang PD put into creating BTS and building an empire like HYBE today.
But at the same time, it also shows that if SUGA really forms a group in the future, he will definitely do a good job as a coach because he understands the feelings of the whole producer. and idol trainees. In the future, maybe SUGA may find inspiration in forming a new group!
