Suga of BTS criticizes labels for their poor treatment of artists, claiming that it is 'killing' the industry.

BTS' Suga recently called out music labels who consider South Korean musicians as "products" in an interview with the Korean magazine Weverse.

In an interview, BTS' Suga lashed out at music labels who consider South Korean musicians as 'products.' In an interview with the Korean magazine Weverse, the K-pop idol discussed the South Korean music business. Several music labels, according to the rapper, have asked artists to do jobs without providing them with adequate explanations or briefings.

Suga of BTS chastised music labels for treating them as 'products.'

BTS member Suga commended his agency for listening to the musicians' ideas in an interview with Weverse magazine. Suga feels that the artists and his agency know what types of activities would be 'ideal commercially,' but the question is if one's health can withstand them. He stated that when one continues to perform promotional events, it becomes difficult to do them like the artist did when he/she initially made his/her debut. Suga believes that in such circumstances, the music company should "actively accommodate the musicians' ideas about what they can and cannot do."

'Oh, we made you babies, and as long as you just do what we tell you to,' the renowned rapper said.

It will all work out, so just do it' is illogical. Suga stated that there may be occasions when the music company must be 'pushy,' but he has heard of times when a label will just urge the musicians to perform 'without any reason,' or will question, 'Why are you talking so much?' The K-pop idol went on to say that he believes it is the most serious problem, and that it is 'killing' the music business.

Suga was asked how a label can be creative if they consider the artist as a product. He feels it is "extremely paradoxical" to urge the individuals on stage to put on an "enjoyable show" when they are not having fun or enjoying themselves in their real life. Suga stated that an artist's work is 'difficult' and there are improvements that need 'to be made to the music industry and its system'.

Suga made his debut as a rapper in 2013 with the Bangtan Boys. Since then, he and his fellow BTS members RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook, and Jin have released a number of chart-topping singles. For his solo work, the worldwide rapper has collaborated with a few musicians.

The South Korean boy band is now preoccupied with the release of new music. BTS just released two new songs, Butter and Permission to Dance. The tracks have topped the Billboard Hot 100 as well as a number of other lists. This year, the band promoted the songs on a few talk shows, including The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
