   We all know that Suga is an amazing rapper, lyricist and producer. He has often put his most sincere feelings and thoughts in his music. Although he is an amazing artist and performer, many still don't acknowledge him for being anything more than an idol. And that's a title that still comes with a lot of prejudice in South Korea. From being called talentless, assumptions about his sexuality, all the way to being blatantly called crazy, Suga has faced it all.

  Suga says he started writing music at around 13 yrs old. By 17 he was working at a record studio part-time. He learned to compose and arrange music, while rapping in underground performance spaces. He's told us, in words and through lyrics, that he's battled depression and mental issues for many years. He's said that he had experienced anxiety about performing to the point where he hid in a bathroom stall. His music, both solo and through BTS, have related his struggles. He's been so brave to talk about this in a country that frowns on mental health discussions. He's shared his highs and lows, while bringing a spotlight to this problem in his country. For many, he's voiced what they couldn't bring themselves to say.

   Yet there are people who still find reasons to hate him. But what has Suga done about it? He takes it all, using it as energy. Then he puts it through a filter, makes it into lyrics and transforms it into music. And success! If only Suga had a dollar for every time someone sent hate his way. Oh, wait...

   We recommend listening to his solo mixtape, Agust D,  if you've somehow missed out. And if you want further proof of how well he handles his haters, we'd recommend DDAENG.

   Team Karamel is still new and building our basics, but there's a vastly important topic we couldn't let lie for long. So we'd like to start talking about being kind. Thankfully, BTS leads the way for us in these things and they launched their renewed campaign with UNICEF last week. The campaign is against bullying but at it's core, this is about spreading kindness to yourself and everyone else. Because that's all it really takes, being kind. And Loving Yourself.

   We'll focus on kindness this week by talking about each member and how they exemplify kindness, in our eyes. Also how they've faced the opposite and what they've done to overcome it. We ask that you remember how well BTS handles hate directed their way and try to emulate it. When you encounter negativity, lets fight it with positivity. Hate messages to any member individually, or to them as a whole, don't engage. Instead of spreading the madness, maybe try to counter with things you love about the member or group. And, of course, report everything appropriately! There's Bighit if it's a serious threat they need to be aware of. Use your discretion so that they're able to get to important issues. Report problems on each platform appropriately. If it's hate messages, report as such, so our reports are noticed as helpful. Lastly, IF companies that BTS are dealing with behave inappropriately, we want to be as polite and professional as the boys would be. Express your displeasure through appropriate channels, and in proper ways. Doesn't mean we can't organize other means of expression, as a fandom, but let's be known as a reflection of our idols, ARMY! We can do it!
