There is no denying that since childhood, the parents of BTS members, like many other ḳöŕệän parents, have a strict way of educating their children. For example, SUGA's parents, when there was a time when they did not support his pursuit of art because they were afraid that he would have an uncertain future.
However, in the years SUGA was pαѕѕionate about music, they never stopped him from doing whatever he wanted. There is even a funny memory that SUGA once told about his parents that was their reaction when he learned that he bought a rap album with a lot of crude words even though he was only 10 years old.
Many people then laughed sympathetically when they felt they were in the same situation because their parents were like SUGA's parents:
Most ARMYs know that some members of the rapper line like RM and SUGA got their start in underground rap groups. Therefore, their starting point is their pαѕѕion for rap music - which comes from the US.
When it comes to the roots of rap and hip-hop music in äṃệŕïċä, äṃệŕïċän male rapper, songwriter, record producer and actor - Eminem is at the top. Widely regarded as the man who popularized hip hop in the US, Eminem's global success and laudatory work broke down racial barriers for wḧïẗe rappers to easily adopt the genre. He became a representative of the lower clαѕѕes of äṃệŕïċän society. He is an artist who has had a great influence on many artists of different genres.
And of course, without exception, not only RM, SUGA, j-hope but all members of BTS are fans of rapper Eminem. RM has even, previously stated that his rapper identity was shaped by Eminem along with legends like Nas and Drake.
BTS even attended Eminem's concert in ḳöŕệä in 2012, holding up signs with the rapper's name. Meanwhile, SUGA is no less competitive when he soon expressed his pαѕѕionate love for his idol since he was very young.
In a previous interview, SUGA once told a funny and endearing story about memories with his idol as a child. He once again affirmed his love for the rapper when revealing that the first album he ever bought was one of Eminem's albums. "It was about fifteen or sixteen years ago and I really loved his music," he said.
The album that SUGA bought when he was younger is Eminem's Curtain Call: The Hits. It was released in 2005, which is an anthology of the äṃệŕïċän rapper's most popular singles with four additional new songs.
Of course, with its äṃệŕïċän rap and hip-hop style, the album also includes words that are crude and difficult to accept in traditional ḳöŕệän society. However, SUGA still bought it with a fervent devotion to music and attention to its positive and artistic aspects.
But it is worth noting that he is only 12 years old now and of course, it is his parents who pay for his album. For most parents, it is impossible for their children to listen to songs with obscene lyrics. So what helped SUGA to get this album?
The truth is, even he didn't know that the album contained swear words. And his parents are similar so SUGA's parents were not wary and hesitated to buy it for him. SUGA smiled shyly and said, "Translations for the lyrics weren’t really available back then so I really couldn’t understand what the lyrics were about. So apparently my parents were okay with it" .
He even added, “They said it was okay” because “they could not understand what the lyrics were saying”. It was indeed a funny situation but it happens frequently in some families. family when there is a language barrier with foreign language music.
Many other fans also think that their parents also have a similar situation with BTS's music even now that the internet is very developed. They just need to enjoy the music and the melody without worrying about the lyrics, and it makes them accessible in the most authentic way!
But anyway, the situation and SUGA's parents' reactions are outstanding,...and a bit funny to recall!
