Music has always been a large part of Suga’s life, even before he joined the award-winning K-pop group, BTS. In fact, for one interview with Jimmy Fallon, he shared that if he wasn’t rapping and dancing, he’d probably be a songwriter or producer. 

Thanks to a playlist posted to Spotify, fans learned a little more about some of Suga’s favorite songs, some of which were released with BTS. Here’s our look into some of Min Yoongi’s song recommendations. 

‘Suga’s Interlude’ by Halsey 

After working with Halsey on “Boy With Luv,” the award-winning artist asked Suga to collaborate on her recently released album, Manic. They released one song together, titled “Suga’s Interlude,” which of course earned plenty of praise and admiration from fans.

Within a matter of weeks, the song earned over 30 million plays on Spotify. Suga, Halsey, and the other BTS members posted about it on social media, later sharing a picture from the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, where they both performed.

“Power” by Kanye West

For one interview from 2017, when asked what song would play when they walk into a room,  Suga was quick to answer “Power” by Kanya West. The other BTS members agreed, breaking into a quick rendition of the rap song. Suga often expressed his admiration for other rappers. That includes The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, and Drake.

‘Sucker’ by The Jonas Brothers

According to one fan on Spotify, this song made it to one of Suga’s playlists back in 2019. The K-pop idol later got a chance to hang out with the Jonas Brothers at the Billboard Music Awards, RM even sharing his best wishes for them on their comeback.

‘Work Out’ by J. Cole

Prior to updating his “Hip-Hop Replay” playlist on Spotify, Suga shared one of his favorite J. Cole songs, “Work Out.” It’s no surprise to BTS fans that this rapper loves J. Cole’s music, as he often mentions the artist (and Drake) in interviews as some of his favorite musicians.

Suga shared a few of his favorite songs off of ‘Map of the Soul: 7’

Thanks to one playlist curated by Suga, fans learned which of the songs by the K-pop group are his current favorites. Some of his song recommendations off of the new album, Map of the Soul: 7 include “On,” his solo song “Interlude: Shadow,” “On Feat. Sia,” and the rap line song, “Ugh.”

“AN ARMY JUST ASKED YOONGI FOR A SONG RECOMMENDATION AND HE LITERALLY REPLIED ‘Suga’s interlude,’ one Twitter user noted.

Off of Wings, Suga recommends the group song often performed live, titled “Blood, Sweat, and Tears.” Other favorites listed on Suga’s playlist include “Spring Day,” “Burning Up (Fire),” and “I Need U,” all of which are available on Spotify, and most major streaming platforms.
