SUGA Reveals Why He Often Argues With His Father, Earning ARMY’s Sympathy

As global K-pop superstars, the members of BTS are often seen as ideal role models, with fans especially curious about what these “extraordinary figures” are like in everyday life.

But one thing to keep in mind is that, despite their fame, they have emotions and personalities just like any other ordinary person. Once they step off stage, they are simply children in a family, sons of their parents.

And like any family, there are moments of harmony as well as disagreements between parents and children. That’s why it was not too surprising when SUGA shared that he often argued with his father. But what intrigued many was how someone usually calm and conflict-averse like the BTS rapper could end up quarreling with his dad so frequently.

The story was revealed in detail on an episode of the YouTube show Just An Excuse, featuring both SUGA and Jimin, hosted by Yoo Jae Suk. In that episode, Yoo asked the idols whether their family lives had changed after their rise to fame, creating a chance for the superstars to open up about their family dynamics.

Jimin answered that his father now seemed more cautious around him. He explained, “In the past, he would nag me about things…now he just goes ‘hm’ and goes into his room". Yoo Jae Suk jokingly replied that he understood that feeling very well. Meanwhile, Jimin added, "My mother is rarely ever upset with me...," noting that their similar personalities helped him get along smoothly with her.

In contrast, SUGA surprised everyone by revealing that nothing had changed in his family—especially the habit of arguing with his dad at least once a month. He even humorously admitted, "For us, nothing changed. Everything is the same as before. Actually, I think I ḟïġḧẗ with my father once a month..."

When the host asked what the arguments were usually about, SUGA explained that both he and his father tend to speak in a blunt, sharp tone, which often escalates into quarrels—but they always reconcile afterward. He shared, "I have a hard way of talking and my father does too so we're like this and then we make up at dinner..."

Another reason behind his father’s nagging is SUGA’s unhealthy eating habits. His dad always reminded him not to skip meals, but SUGA admitted that he usually only felt hungry at dinner, often skipping other meals and snacking late at night.

SUGA explained, "Somєthing my father says a lot is, "Eat more." My father thinks meals are very important, but I don't eat breakfast or lunch...Counting late-night snacks, I have 2 meals a day. I'm not hungry that part of the day. But my father's point of view is, "Don't work without eating! It's bad for your health."

Similarly, Jimin agreed that his family often worries about him too, especially when he travels, urging him not to overwork himself.

It seems that parent-child disputes remain universal, usually revolving around food and health. Parents, having gone through their own youth, know well that kids often neglect their health, so they show their concern through constant reminders or complaints. Naturally, most of us tend to “push back” or “tune out.”

As it turns out, even SUGA reacts the same way as any other teenager would! Fans found this both amusing and relatable. At the same time, they appreciated the way he and his father resolved their conflicts quickly. These small quarrels only deepened their bond and gave fans a more down-to-earth glimpse into the superstar’s life.

The story quickly became a hot topic among fans—most of whom are still young themselves:

- Sometimes I wonder how he functions without eating breakfast and lunch, If I did I will be admitted to the hospital lol and then with the amount of hard work he does, I guess his father is right !!

- He's right Yoonie u hv had enough visits to hospitals

- When my son is at home, i would stuff him with so much food to compensate for all those days he's not at home and not mindful of eating.

- I think this is pretty common in most asian household. Atleast one of the parents would be like this

- My metabolism is super fast so I get headaches if I dont eat enough and at the right times, I cant function without eating at least three meals plus snacks

- You absolutely CANNOT skip a meal in an Asian household. I decided to eat my lunch little later tonight... 5 TIMES my grandma came to ask me have I eaten yet ??

- It's a normal parent behavior. Yoongi will understand if he will have a child someday

- This exactly right, add water and sleep to the list. We ḟïġḧẗ like great enemies

- But that's also his dad's way of saying he worries and cares w/out having to say it out loud. Lol

- This is one the most common ḟïġḧẗs in my house. I eat like small meals that fill me up. I am with Yoongi.
