(All of the content below doesn't belong to me, it belongs to its rightful owners. I referred it from Amino Amry and it is in the POV of Yoongi)

I released it as Agust D. It means DT Suga, which refers to my home town, Daegu town. I like the meaning and it sounds dope. I think I would be using this name when working not as BTS. By the way, since the mixtape was released in August, I just had that good feeling that it would turn out well (laughs).

The mixtape has everything I wanted to do with hip-hop as the foundation. There are strong lyrics that will make people say 'Huh? He did this?' and 'Is it okay for him to write such lyrics?' Anyway, I feel relieved since I was able to tell my stories."

Basically it is Hip Hop. I did everything I wanted to. Big Hit did not bother me with who I worked or who I featured. I didn't have to consider much about the general public or the rank in a Music Chart.

If it was released as an official song, there would have been restrictions. And I would have feel burdened about the music chart.

Since I made the songs, I wish only the people who want to hear the songs to listen. People who don't want to listen will not listen to the songs any longer than 30 min anyways.

In short, there was no need to promote the song and beg people to listen. That is why I just released it for free!

It's full of the kind of tracks that you can't hear in BTS' music. In particular, the feeling of the lyrics is very different. I straightforwardly expressed myself in regards to how I think of youth.

I like talking about a dream, youth and reality usually. The society is harsh towards the '20s these days. When people are students, society forces them to study hard. Society has this stereotype of 'success'. It is too hard to have an individual dream. But it isn't easy to have an individual dream even in the 20s. As an 'N PO' generation (the generation who lives in misery as there are too many things to give up), there are many things to give up.

People fall into despair because they see no future. If they see the light, they can head towards it. But they fall into despair as they see no light to guide them.

That is why I want to console them through my music.

I also spoke honestly about my own self. I'm the type who likes making material out of things like the reality that I experienced from my late teens to my twenties, my daily life, my conflicts, and my dreams.

I talk about these things because that's the time I'm living right now. If you hear the conversations I have with my peers or with my older brother, not having a clear dream has been my biggest worry.

I lived this far by fitting into the societal mold, but after becoming an adult and actually facing up to that reality, it's different than what I thought. Even if you just endlessly search for a job or take entrance examinations, your thoughts become more plentiful.

My mixtape is purely just shouting out. I figure that the influence my mixtape brings is different from what BTS' albums bring, with BTS, I need to refine. Firstly, there's not much I can use. To compress what I want to say into as short as possible, I have to think more compared to when making a mixtape.

I thought I should just express myself transparently. I wanted to try putting out music that was just made how I thought of it, the direction my heart went. I worked very freely on both the genre and the lyrics.

Bang Shihyuk PD-nim once said this too, my person brightened up after releasing a mixtape. He even asked where that incisive person full of wrath from before had gone. It was my complex and the way to solve it was music that I need to make.

Thinking about how many idols can have this chance, I'm making music in a very good environment. BTS, Agust D, or a human named Min Yoongi, it all comes from the same person, so if I put in the real stories of mine, many people can listen and relate to it.

'Agust D' is my turning point. It's probably the best thing I did in 2016. I was very emotionally exhausted then. There were also the worries of being an idol.

I met an old acquaintance not long ago and they said I became a completely different person.

If you ask me whether I'm satisfied with the music in 'Agust D' or not, I would say I'm not. I didn't have enough time and many parts could have been better, but if you ask I regret releasing the mixtape or not, I want to say I really like it.

The members said the same too. They told me my mixtape is too 'fierce-fierce-fierce-fierce'. (laughs). I said I couldn't do anything other than it. I don't regret making it that way at all. I became more relaxed making music after that. More naturally too. There is no longer a limit like before.

I don't think I live an ordinary life. I started making music since I was young and left home since I was young too.

Many interesting things happened in my life. I don't show it much usually. Basically not at all. But I always live hoping someone would know it. I relieve through music. It's like I resolve it by performing and making music.

I think of music as my release. That's why I made 'Agust D' freely. It was a load off my mind.

When something happy happens, calmly take a look around you. This is what my father always said to me. When I take a look around me, everything is all thanks to ARMYs. Thank you ARMYs for making me a blessed person. Even though I don't always say it, because I am bad at expressing it. Since I am a person who is still lacking, I will live each and every moment thankfully.
