In Suga's digital cover, he opened up to 'Rolling Stone' about his depression and struggles in his lyrics.

On May 19, 2021, Wednesday, BTS' Suga confessed everything about his depression and how it affects his way of writing.

According to Billboard, Suga, one of the members of the K-pop supergroup, who's written many of their songs, shared that his confessional lyricism comes from a deep and at times a dark place.

Min Yoon-gi, better known by his stage names Suga and August D, is a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and record producer.

In 2016, he released his debut mixtape August D, and on the record, he discussed matters such as his struggles with depression and social phobia.

He also described the album as a "feeling of being trapped in some sort of framework."

But despite Suga's condition, he is aware that the ARMY has stuck with him through thick and thin. Fans have told him how much they can relate to his emotions that express so freely in his music.

Suga opened up to Rolling Stone, saying, "I'm comfortable now and feeling good, but those sorts of negative emotions come and go. So it's almost like cold weather. It may come back in a cycle over a year and a half."

"But when I hear people say that when they listen to my music, and feel comfortable and are consoled by those lyrics that express these emotions, that makes me feel very good. It's very encouraging. I think, for anybody, these emotions are not something that needs to be hidden. They need to be discussed and expressed. Whatever emotions that I may be feeling, I am always ready to express them now, as I was before, " he added

Just like, for example, his experience with their 'First Love,' the title of Suga's solo song, he expressed the good, the bad, and the bitter things one experiences with the song.

'First Love' is featured on BTS's sophomore album 'Wings,' and in it, he also professes his love for music which he had to fight for.

Suga shared something to Rolling Stone about his parents, saying, "My parents didn't understand rap. They are a generation apart from myself, and they never listened to rap. It wasn't part of the music that they listened to. So it's natural they were against what I was doing."

Suga also said that being a musician is a very unstable profession as well. So he can understand perfectly why his parents were against what he was doing.

But Suga thinks that that motivated him or helped him work harder because there was something that he now had to prove. So it drove and motivated him to work even harder.
