I started to consider that my secret weapon from some point,” Suga said, according to a translation. “I tried songs in various styles on D-2, too. I feel like I might not be able to become a master of one genre, but I can wear many hats. There’s still so much I want to do.” 

Already, Suga composed the soundtrack for the 7FATES: CHAKHO webtoon, with Jungkook as a featured vocalist for the production. He sometimes writes and produces for other artists. Recently, he partnered with PSY for “That That,” also enjoying a starring role in the official music video. 

“I have no feel for what kind of music I’m going to be making in my 30s, 40s, or 50s, but I want to keep doing music until the day I die,” he added. “I’m someone who can wear many different hats, so I think I started to worry less when I think about what kind of music I’ll do after.”

Born on March 9, 1993, Suga still has a long way to go until he’s in his 40s or 50s. With Proof showcasing three new tracks and new versions of fan-favorite releases, ARMYs are already excited for the K-pop group’s upcoming endeavors.
