In the interview, Suga thoughtfully revealed that apart from BTS continuing activities as seven, he’s fulfilled all of his dreams.

Apart from the seven of us making music together and being on stage for a long time to come, I think I have fulfilled almost all of my dreams.

When asked about what he considered the turning point of his career, Suga named BTS’s attendance at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.

The biggest turning point for me was my first visit to the Billboard Awards in 2017.

It was the first appearance for the group at an American music award show, and BTS even took home the “Top Social Artist” award, making them the first K-Pop group in history to win a Billboard music award.

Around that same time in BTS’s career, they had considered disbandment because of the tough conditions they faced with their increasing success. Luckily, they decided against it and continued to forge their path as global stars.
