With the current position, it is not difficult to see that BTS is standing at the top of Kpop. Literally "rising from the ashes", BTS started off without support as the leading entertainment companies, but now they have gradually a̾s̾serted their name that no other group can overcome. .
Asia's top music industry can create hundreds of new groups every year, but there's definitely one thing the K-pop industry can't create, and that's a second BTS. SUGA himself also mentioned the core factor to explain this and boldly affirmed BTS's competitiveness in the music world.
Here's what SUGA had to say about BTS' success and express his views on the group's future:
SUGA appeared in the video 'SUGA: Road to D-DAY-D-DAY Roadmap' released on the official Disney Plus channel on April 10. Through this 20-minute interview, SUGA sat down and shared Share his feelings through the long journey from Agust D to D-Day.
SUGA candidly shared his past emotional experiences of being attacked by the music he created. After releasing his first solo album, SUGA said, “That time, we were denied as an idol by the people who loved idol groups. And the fans who loved musicians, rebuked us as being idol". Along with that, he faced a lot of criticism during his early debut years until BTS and himself a̾s̾serted their worth.
All ARMYs know that just because they come from a small entertainment company in the music industry dominated by the big guys and bring a different music material than the rest that BTS has ever suffered. a lot of difficulties and criticism. It was so bad that SUGA once said that during their debut until 2016, BTS seemed to be living in hell because everyone hated them, sometimes for no reason at all.
However, BTS has shown how perseverance and relentless hard work make their talents and personalities shine. Starting from the hít series Spring Day - Fire in 2016, BTS's career flourished and developed rapidly. Just three years, BTS reached beyond the кσяєαn border and became a successful global group вιg нιт from a company that was about to go bankrupt to become the top entertainment group HYBE in кσяєα.
Since then, people have been amazed and began to research, learn how and the factors for a group to rise to such a successful level. But the real reason people don't know that BTS is successful is because of the members themselves.
SUGA expressed his opinion: "There were a lot of analysis about us. “How BTS were made?” or “What was the secret of BTS’s success?” As you can see from the performance, we are good. I think we practiced a lot more than others and we are still practicing too. When we are on the stage, we think we are the best, all the time..."
In particular, SUGA did not hesitate to declare that with what BTS has done and will always do, they are not afraid of competition with other K-pop groups. He continued: "Of course, it’s not a sport game but I’ve never thought we’d lose if we compete with others. We prepared that much. To be honest, we didn’t get success like this from the beginning. We’ve experienced all sorts of things. As a result, we can cope with anything and I think we would have been able to do better on stage. Since we have experienced all kinds of stages, I think that is the ground of my confidence..."
This can be confirmed when during the past decade, there have been hundreds of groups created in the Kpop music scene and the world, but BTS is still a legendary name. Not a second, not a minute that people stop talking about BTS even when they enter the period of hiatus from group activities.
In addition, SUGA also showed that BTS has conquered their dreams and now, their destination is the fans. SUGA concluded: "Actually it’s been a while since I thought about my goals or dreams. I have always thought those things were important... but now I think about what can I do to make it fun. Because I think I achieved everything I could. We were on Billboard Hot 100 charts No.1 for not just one week but weeks. We are on a stadium tour. We achieved the dreams not only in кσяєαns but all the musicians around the world dream. So I don’t think about desperately grasping those things but just hope and try to be on the stage as long as we can with our fans. That’s the biggest goal for us in now".
It seems that SUGA's point of views have answered all questions about whether the world can create a second BTS or whether BTS can compete in a new generation of K-pop rookies. Nothing is more perfect than SUGA's explanation and his statement to these doubts!
