SUGA, a member of the world famous K-Pop band, BTS, met the Golden State Warriors ahead of the NBA Japan tournament on September 29, 2022. BTS fans, Army, are very well aware of the fact that SUGA is a basketball fanatic and a good player. He had shared his fondness for basketball during his debut period. His position was usually point guard or shooting guard. Fun fact: His stage name was derived from the first two parts of his basketball position.
The rapper has also played quite a few times in his school, and won many basketball games. It was also a known trivia amongst Army that SUGA played basketball every Sunday, when he was a trainee. He was scouted for a team with some college students at the Han River, Korea, but since he debuted, he did not play.
