Jungkook, Jimin and J-Hope said that BIGBANG or the BIGBANG members were the reason they started their career, and now Suga is another member of BTS who said so! Suga said, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that BIGBANG practically made BTS. You were musicians that I aspired to be like as a kid."
He also told a story about being such huge fans as a group, "The guys all love you. When we were younger.. when Jungkook turned 20, we said, 'Let's go out for a drink.' and we went to a karaoke place and sang 'Bang Bang Bang' about 100 times. We had memorized the entire choreography. We loved you that much."
Suga also explained his group mate Jimin's love for Taeyang, "He really studied you! I'm not kidding. You've never heard of him doing an impression of you, right? He even copies how you talk."
He couldn't stop admiring Taeyang and BIGBANG, saying, "I remember BIGBANG the most at MAMA. Because you had such a charismatic presence, we watched you like this.. well.. 'Let's become singers like them."
Suga couldn't hide being starstruck in front of Taeyang. "As a musician, I think this is an exciting moment for me. I don't have many moments like that. I still can't believe it right now. It's like I'm watching TV."
He has also talked about BIGBANG's impact on people and asked them to continue their music forever.
"BIGBANG is legendary.."
"We can't talk about Korean music history without BIGBANG. You left a huge legacy. There are so many young singers running forward after watching you. So I hope that you keep on performing forever. Please don't retire."
