Surely, everyone must admire the parents of BTS members for raising such wonderful children. However, many people also don't know that the members' parents once prevented them from pursuing their dream of becoming idols.
In particular, SUGA is a person who understands best the perspective of parents in raising children according to traditional culture. Even though he knew that his parents' point of view had a good side, he objected and gave a different thought. SUGA also expressed that in the future, the way he raises his children will not be the same as the way his father used to raise him.
When understanding why SUGA openly expressed such views, many people also sympathized with him:
According to traditional Eastern culture, parents play an important role in every decision their children make. Children are often forbidden to do what they want and do not have the freedom to choose anything. From determining career, work and even marriage, there is parental intervention even when they are adults.
This seems to become an unwritten rule in any kσrєα family, especially in the older generations. BTS members or SUGA themselves were products of this traditional way of raising. SUGA once shared that his father was quite strict in child-rearing and he did not want him to pursue a music career because he thought an idol career was very unstable.
In кσяєα, pαѕѕing the university entrance exam or civil service exam and then, becoming an office worker or state official are considered successful. People who do these jobs are considered to make a lot of money and have high status in society. Years ago, idols or celebrities were not considered a stable and respected job. That's why SUGA's father guided him in his stu∂ιєs and was very angry when his son expressed his desire to work as a music producer.
SUGA's father has the right to doubt his decision but SUGA also has the right to give reasons why his father's imposition is inappropriate. While participating in an interview, SUGA frankly mentioned his and his father's different stances on raising a child. He αѕѕerted: "I want to be a father like a friend". This is the point from his own experience: Accompanying your child as a friend is better than always controlling your child as a strict father.
In addition, SUGA also said that instead of forcing his children to study or letting them play alone, he wants to raise his children by playing with them more and spending time with them. SUGA also shared that as he grew up, his father became more open and did not control him anymore but during his childhood they were not like that. From his childhood desire, he realized that he should be friends with his children from the moment they were born. Not only that, an adorable detail SUGA added was his intention to buy many pretty clothes for his children.
The strict way of nuturing chirldren of SUGA's dad can raise an obe∂ιєnt children like SUGA. Actually, he is a wonderful result of that process. On the contrary, this way almost might cause him to lose the opportunity to become an idol too if he had followed his father's decision that day. Many people also realized this problem and sympathized with him after hearing what he shared.
Finally, although it is not expressed clearly, the opposing views on raising children between SUGA and his father actually come from the desire to bond with his father. He's truly a sentimental person on the inside despite his cold and quiet visual on the outside!
