Since his official debut, fans have been able to see SUGA almost on a daily basis—except for the period when he was absent due to his military service—so they have come to understand many aspects of his personality, habits, and everyday life. In contrast, there is one phase that fans have almost never witnessed: Min Yoongi’s school days before he became a globally renowned star.

Fans’ curiosity about an idol’s past is only natural, as it represents a мιѕѕιиg piece needed to complete the portrait of who they are. People often find themselves wondering: what was a global superstar like when he was just a teenager? Stories from one’s school days always carry a strong appeal because they feel intimate and authentic.

Moreover, people undergo significant changes between their teenage years and adulthood. Today, in the eyes of most people, SUGA is regarded as a calm, quiet man with deep thoughts—a textbook tsundere type. However, the Min Yoongi that fans know today is worlds apart from the image remembered by his close friends from high school. One of his close friends has even directly “exposed his glorious past,” leaving fans both surprised and amused.

Specifically, an old post has recently gone viral within the fandom, shared by someone who claimed to be SUGA’s high school friend. This person humorously revealed that Min Yoongi had also gone through a phase of “fourteen-year-old syndrome” and had quite a “colorful” past. He wrote: “Min Yoongi, his past was actually pretty ‘colorful’ (eventful). I’m Min Yoongi’s childhood friend, and back when he had a major case of 8th-grade syndrome (중2병 – Middle School 2nd Year), he used to rap right in front of me lol.”

What ѕнσ¢кed fans even more was the friend’s recollection of SUGA’s bold rap lines when he would spontaneously “perform” in front of his clαѕѕmates. He added: “He’d say stuff like, ‘You’re sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime of stealing my heart.’ I remember him saying, ‘My name is Min Yoongi~ and your name is ‘Mine’~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.’”

These anecdotes quickly led ARMYs to realize, with both surprise and delight, that SUGA once had such a lively and carefree youth during his high school years. His unapologetic and uninhibited rap lines left fans stunned, as the SUGA of today hardly seems like someone who would casually say such things out loud.

However, upon closer reflection, fans began to notice that his romantic sensibility and bold way of expressing emotions never actually disappeared. A clear example can be found in SUGA’s rap verse in Just One Day, where he once penned irresistibly evocative lines such as: "If only I had just one day. I want to peacefully fall asleep intoxicated with your sweet scent. If there’s a chance in my busy schedule I want to put my body in your warm and deep eyes"/ "I wanna be locked in you and swim in you"/ "I appreciate the masterpiece that is you because your existence alone is art".

This story also brings to mind a moment when RM, speaking as someone who has accompanied SUGA for over a decade, once revealed his true personality. He pointed out: “Many people think that SUGA is like the grandfather of the group, but he acts more like a little kid. Jimin is the opposite—he looks like a baby, but inside he’s mature and like a grandfather.”

SUGA’s romantic and playful side has always existed in every part of him; the only difference is that, compared to his younger days, he now expresses this side of himself in a far more subtle and reserved way!

Under the viral post, fans left numerous amusing comments, sharing their reactions to a lesser-known side of SUGA that few had ever seen:
