Suga, why did he shed so many tears on stage?

BTS' Suga spoke with composer Jang Yi-jeong about why he shed tears during a performance in the past.

On the 26th, composer Jang Yi-jeong appeared on the YouTube channel BANGTAN TV in the 27th episode of 'Schüta'.

On this day, Jang Yi-jeong told the story of how Suga shed many tears during a solo performance during a past performance. Jang Yi-jeong said, "Suga cried while singing 'What Would It Have Been Like', and the lingering emotion still hasn't gone away. At first, I thought there was an accident. I was monitoring through in-ears, but you weren't singing. So I looked and saw that you were crying, and that was it." “I shed tears when I saw it,” he said.

Regarding the reason why Suga cried, Jang Yi-jeong said, "It was a difficult time for us at the time. BTS was doing very well, but Min Yoon-gi was having a hard time. At that time, I also quit being a singer and went through a dark time doing only repetitive music work." “As the song we worked on rang out on the big stage and I cried, the events that had happened so far passed by like a panorama. I felt like we were doing something really wonderful together.”

Jang Yi-jeong is a singer who debuted and was active in the group History. He entered the entertainment industry through Season 2 of MBC's survival audition program 'Great Birth'. He said, "I have been singing since I was in the 4th grade of elementary school, and during my mom and dad's step-party meeting, I went to a karaoke room and sang Maya's 'Azalea Flower', and all the adults fainted. At that time, I felt joy, started making music, and appeared in 'The Great Birth.' "he said.

History Jang Yi-jeong, who debuted with BTS, said that one day he felt something was wrong with his neck and had to quit being a singer. Jang Yi-jeong said she was very heartbroken at this. Suga said, "I wanted you to continue singing. So, I thought it would be good for you to continue singing, so I told you to fix your neck first. It was around 2016." Jang Yi-jeong drew attention by saying, "This is my first time saying this. At the time, I thought we were business friends, but no one had told me that before about the problem I had. But I was so touched that you told me that story."

In particular, Jang Yi-jeong usually calls Suga “dad.” Jang Yi-jeong emphasized, "I also told my dad. Dad is the one who raised Jang Yi-jung as a human being, but the person who raised me as a composer is Suga."
