He stresses these issues should be normalized.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, BTS‘s Suga discussed his lyrics addressing depression and other mental health struggles, explaining why it’s important for him to speak about these issues in his music.
He revealed that like anyone, his mental health isn’t perfect. Having dealt with depression, he admits it comes back from time to time.
“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, year, and a half.”
— Suga
Soмєтнing that helps to encourage him is fans’ positive feedback about lyrics about his mental health struggles.
“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.”
— Suga
Suga stressed the importance of normalizing the topic of mental health in society. He believes “these emotions are not soмєтнing that needs to be hidden. They need to be discussed and expressed.”
He always puts his genuine emotions into his music, whether they are good or bad, allowing fans to connect with the issues they may be experiencing themselves.
“Whatever emotions that I may be feeling, I’m always ready to express them now, as I was before.”
— Suga
Suga covered more serious topics in his interview with Rolling Stone, including the struggle of his parents disapproving of his career choice.
De tous les garçons de BTS Suga semble le plus réservé, le plus discret, celui qui parait le plus protégé son jardin secret. C’est un membre attachant, un peu plus lunaire par rapport aux autres électrons libres. Peut être un peu plus sensible ce qui fait tout son charme. Mais bon continuation à ce groupe qui nous ravit et nous réconforte souvent avec leur musique et leur joie de vivre. Cordialement
