Rolling Stone India spotlights #SUGA's unconventional journey in their recent article:

“The Surprising Backstories Behind Some of K-Pop’s Biggest Stars”

✦ Today, he’s known as SUGA or by his independent rap moniker, Agust D. But before the world recognized him as a hitmaker, pop titan, elite producer, and hip-hop superstar from BTS, he was moonlighting as a delivery boy.

In early 2010, Yoongi left his hometown of Daegu, where he was once the underground rapper Gloss, and found himself stranded in the costly city of Seoul. He took up a job as a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment — then a tiny, debt-ridden startup — where his salary could barely cover his cost of living. Every expense came with a compromise, sometimes even forcing him to choose between eating a full meal or taking a bus ride home.

The breaking point arrived in 2012 when, while rushing to make a delivery, he met with an accident and T-boned his bike, injuring his shoulder labrum. Worried that it would get him kicked out of the agency, he hid the excruciating pain, claiming he had fallen down the stairs. This struggle shaped a dual identity that would eventually define his stardom.

As SUGA, he learned how to work the machinery of mainstream K-pop, turning his raps into global anthems. Yet, he strongly refused to let the glossy industry erase the boy on the bike. Under his alter ego Agust D, his solo track “Amygdala” directly confronts the trauma of that crash and the burden of keeping it a secret while dealing with family tragedies as evident in the lines, “Uh-uh, the news I couldn’t deliver / My accident news that I couldn’t share / And the phone call that came during my schedule: my father’s liver cancer.” The music video too serves as a visceral, cinematic re-enactment of the accident itself, with Suga trapped in a cyclical nightmare of a car door colliding with his frame. While the K-pop industry usually keeps topics like mental health out of discussion, he chose to be open about his.

The years following his 2020 shoulder surgery signaled an artistic liberation, culminating in 2023 with D-Day, an album chosen explicitly “to liberate myself from all the shackles in my life.” To cement this, Suga embarked on a solo worldwide tour, where the stage design physically collapsed around him, symbolically shedding his past traumas. Following his tour, he enlisted in his mandatory military service in September that year. But the physical toll of that 2012 crash followed him all the way to his military service, with health officials ruling him unfit for regular combat duty, deploying him as a social service agent instead.

We Love(IU) — IU Interview with NYLON France

She needs no introduction. A singer, actress, fashion icon, and a true phenomenon both in South Korea and internationally, IU has established herself as one of the most influential artists of her generation. On the occasion of Fashion Week, we had the opportunity to meet with her to talk about her relationship with fashion and her upcoming artistic project.

Q. How do you see your partnership with New Balance today, and how would you describe your role with the brand?

IU:
Even before becoming an ambassador, I was already a huge fan of New Balance. To me, this partnership goes far beyond work. I've been wearing their shoes for a long time, in my everyday life, on stage, at events... basically everywhere.

I want to show that you can wear New Balance in any situation. And most importantly, I want people to see that my attachment to the brand is genuine. It's not just because I'm an official ambassador. I was a fan before, and I still am today.

Q. How do you wear New Balance shoes in your daily life?

IU:
Honestly, when I open my closet, out of around thirty pairs of shoes, at least twenty-eight are New Balance! Some I bought myself, while others were gifts, including special editions with my name on them.

I practically live in New Balance. I think I only own one pair of high heels, and I almost never wear them except for very special occasions.

Originally, it was a sports brand, but today it's also a true fashion accessory.

Q. What does a typical day in Paris during Fashion Week look like for (IU)?

IU:
I arrived in Paris last night and I'm leaving tomorrow morning, so I haven't really had the chance to experience a typical day in Paris. On top of that, the jet lag makes things a bit difficult.

Still, I walked around wearing my New Balance shoes... because they're the only shoes I brought! Looking around the streets of Paris, I saw a lot of people running in New Balance, and I thought that if I come back for a longer stay someday, I'd really love to go running in Paris too.

Q. What has your daily life been like lately in general?

IU:
These days, my daily life is mostly focused on my new album. I'm writing, composing, and constantly communicating with my team in Korea. Even when I travel, I'm working on the plane or during transit.

In the morning, I like to wake up slowly and enjoy the silence. At night, I listen to a lot of music, especially my new songs, to see what works and what still needs improvement.

Q. If you had to describe New Balance in three words?

IU:
The first would be "natural."

The second would be "character," because it's a brand with a strong identity.

And the third would be "again." People are always saying to me, "More New Balance?" I think that, for many people, I've become inseparable from the brand.

Q. You've helped popularize Korean culture around the world. How do you see that?

IU:
I'm very proud of it, of course. But I don't see myself as a leader. I think of myself as someone in between generations. There are the great artists who paved the way before me, and there are the younger artists coming after me.

I'm deeply grateful to the Korean artists who helped our culture shine internationally, because thanks to them, my own opportunities have expanded as well.

There are still so many talented artists who aren't yet known around the world. I hope they'll have the chance to shine too. If I can contribute, even in a small way, to opening doors for them, I'll be very happy.

Q. Is there any reason to think you'll be returning to Paris soon?

IU:
Nothing has been confirmed yet, but my tour begins in September in Korea and will continue next year with a world tour. I certainly hope to come back to Paris. We haven't finalized the dates or venues yet, but I truly hope I'll be able to see my fans here again.

Q. A message for your French fans?

IU:
This is my first time in Paris, even though I came to France three years ago for the Cannes Film Festival.

Back then, so many fans came to support me, and I was deeply touched. I even found myself wondering, "How do they know me? How did they discover my work when I've never even performed in France?"

I'm sincerely grateful for all of their support. And to return all that love, I will definitely come back to France.

I hope you all stay healthy, and that your lives are filled with love.

Baby Jingni when she just debuted for 4 month. She was just 15 yo (16yo in Korean age) that time. At that time, She maybe didn't know that she will become one of living legend in SK history, IU 🥹 She already good in public speaking in such young age 😍

120626 ✦ Eles também comentaram sobre ele estar com bom humor hoje no show e o jeitinho que ele demonstra isso:

#JIMIN: "Como o Yoongi hyung foi no show hoje?"
#JUNGKOOK: "Yoongi hyung hoje?"
#JUNGKOOK: "Talvez porque estamos em Busan, mas a energia dele estava definitivamente muito boa."
#JIMIN: "É, ele realmente parecia estar de muito bom humor hoje, né?"
#JUNGKOOK: "Como foi mesmo que ele fez? "BUSAN!"."
#JIMIN: "Será que as ARMYs não sabem disso? Ou será que sabem até melhor? Mas se uma pessoa que não é ARMY, não é um dos nossos membros e também não conhece o Yoongi pessoalmente olhar para ele e pensar: 'Ah, o yoongi parece bem animado hoje', então, na verdade, isso significa que o Yoongi hyung está de muito bom humor naquele momento."
#JIMIN: "Vocês entendem o que eu quero dizer, né?"
#JIMIN: "Quando o Yoongi hyung está de muito bom humor, existem alguns sinais sutis... tipo, ele anda mais para a frente do palco..."
#JIMIN: "Durante os momentos de conversa, ele também dá mais passos à frente."
#JIMIN: "Nos dias em que ele está sem muita energia, ele geralmente fica mais parado onde está"
#JUNGKOOK: "E hoje ele ficou um pouco mais lá na frente"
#JIMIN: "Isso mesmo"

not him trying to bait seungyeon into tagging along to buyeo with him just because his next shoot is there 😭

wooseok and his refusal to see anyone else have free time when HE have to work instead kahskdjdh

[𓇼 @ruvIsly]

“heʼs in danger right now”
“youʼre okay right? i thought u were dying. i thought i lost u”

huiju’s first instinct is to protect lee ahn &amp; lee ahn holds onto her like he almost lost everything he lives for. both of them are so vulnerable overwhelmed by the fear of losing eo

[우체석 ◠‿◠ ⚔️💙 @_cutiebws]

“You’re okay, right?”
“i thought you were dying”
“i thought i lost you”

sorry, but this is the first time i saw wooseok delivered this kind of dialogue cause all this time he’s the one that always/almost dying or injured in a drama/movie haha 😭
