#OurFirstLoveMinYoongi: The Nine Ways Suga Steals Our Hearts
As Suga celebrates his birthday, let us recount all the ways we are grateful to get to know someone like him!
Minstradamus, Agust D, Lil Meow Meow— we know him by many names, but he will always be the sweet and fiery Suga.

As he turns a year older today, we’d like to express what a relief it is to have him in our lives! We’ve put together a list of things that show how Suga is definitely every ARMYs first love (and ours too!).
He’s unafraid to show his love for ARMYs— in more ways than one!
Suga’s love for ARMY knows no bounds! Whether he’s screaming about them to the heavens:

Or he’s going out of his way to personally get them little gifts, he always finds a way to express just how much ARMYs mean to him.

Beyond all this, Suga also makes sure he expresses his love for ARMYs by generously donating to various charities in their name!
SUGA donated 100 million won (~US $88k+) to the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation on his birthday. In the meaning of giving back the love he’s received from fans, he made the donation himself in the name of ARMY, along with 329 dolls that he helped design.https://t.co/b0A9iB3H2O

Suga has previously donated Korean beef to 39 orphanages, as a way of keeping a promise he made to ARMYs. Recently, he donated cash and Shooky dolls to the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
He does his best to comfort anyone who struggles with mental health
Suga has had his fair share of struggles on his way to the top, and he’s talked about it multiple times. He’s produced songs about these struggles:
And his openness has helped ARMYs confront their own struggles! Suga continues to inspire ARMYs to keep growing even if things get tough through the little reminders he gives everyone on Bangtan Bombs, or on interviews:
“I hope that you’ll get to do all you set out to. That you’ll achieve all your dreams… it’s alright even if you don’t have a dream. It’s possible not to have one. Just be happy.”#OurFirstLoveMinYoongi #YoongiLetsDreamTogether #WhatAReliefYoongiWasBornpic.twitter.com/yGNeZN7uxO

His caring nature extends to little animals too!
Suga does more than care for the people around him, he cares for animals too! He always tries his best to be a good pet parent for his little poodle, Holly:

He’s simply amazing when it comes to dogs in general! Who can forget about the amazing chemistry between Suga and Demi?

He shows his passion for music in various ways
He isn’t Min PD for nothing, after all! Suga’s musical skill manifests in the way he works hard to produce and write quality songs for BTS:
And can we forget about Suga’s roots in rapping? The way he sets fire to every stage with his emotional verses and a fast mouth is something we all cherish about him deeply.
the way yoongi raps with all his heart, emotion, and passion is so admirable. his passion for music always radiates whenever he is on stage. he had called music his life; his everything. i am so happy for him. happy birthday to #OurFirstLoveYoongi pic.twitter.com/UxRrKC84pM

Suga also works hard to develop his skill when it comes to playing instruments! We’ve all seen him casually display his skill on the piano in comeback shows, or Bangtan Bombs:
Yoongi playing the piano is so beautiful❤️I'm in love?#2017BTSFESTA #BTS #防弾少年団 #방탄소년단 #BTSWEEK #AgustD #SUGADAY pic.twitter.com/q0F4axK9Vy

Though underrated, he’s an amazing dancer!
Yoongi may not be recognized as a part of BTS’ dance line, but he might as well be! Part of his fiery presence onstage can be attributed to his snappy yet fluid dancing:
I feel like his dancing is kinda underrated, so let me share this video of him and appreciate his dancing #HappySUGAday #OurFirstLoveMinYoongi pic.twitter.com/Vi3ABaeJ0F

Just look at the swagger he exudes all throughout the “Fire” music video!

Of course, we can’t talk about Suga’s dancing without bringing in the “Seesaw” choreography that makes rounds on everyone’s Twitter feeds from time to time.
happy BIRTHDAY TO THIS VIDEO ONLY ?????#OurFirstLoveMinYoongi pic.twitter.com/yrdNZnn1fS

He knows when to get playful(ly adorable)
Suga may look cool and serious on the outside, but trust us when we say that this man has a goofy and soft side! He knows when to bust a cutesy dance with everyone else:
Istg I want to purchase a life sized pocket and a bubble wrap to protect this baby boy forever.#HAPPYSUGADAY #WhatAReliefYoongiWasBorn #MinstradamusDay #OurFirstLoveMinYoongi #SUGA #Happy민슈가Day

This fiery rapper has got an aegyo no one can compete with— and he knows it too because he whips it out when everyone around him least expects it:

Suga also knows when to play around with the rest of BTS, joking around and pulling off antics to make them and everyone around them laugh out loud:
Here is the cutest human in your timeline. Happy birthday mew mew. I want to put you in my pocket and protect you. UwU#HAPPYSUGADAY #WhatAReliefYoongiWasBorn #MinstradamusDay #OurFirstLoveMinYoongi #SUGA #Happy민슈가Day

His cat-like aegyo is too good to be true
Speaking of aegyo, let’s talk about how Suga earned his “lil meow meow” title! He exudes an energy that reminds cat owners of their own fluffy pets:
Happy Birthday Min Yoongi ? You are precious for me ?✨ @BTS_twt#OurFirstLoveYoongi #HappyMinSugaDay #Happy민슈가Day #HAPPYSUGADAY #OurfirstloveMinYoongi #BTS pic.twitter.com/aUBNTSdCSY

In a lot of ways, Suga resembles our little feline friends! Maybe it’s his little mannerisms, or the way he speaks in pout.
Ok but why does Yoongi actually sound like a cat here pic.twitter.com/tW3ldcLCtn
— Jimochi (@Joonsbabycrabs) March 8, 2019
Or maybe it’s just the way he looks! In all ways, Suga has crawled into our hearts and our good graces— just like a cat.

His secretly impeccable English skills, which he stays low-key about
Most of us have been blown away by Suga casually flaunting his amazing English skills at least once. Who can forget about him casually talking to Machine Gun Kelly when RM was out?
namjoon was saying how the others cant speak english & yoongi just cuts him off with a fluent eng sentence ksjskds joon was so startled pic.twitter.com/KQM78IkPxt

Suga may not talk in English as much, but when he does he makes sure it’s to let everyone know that he wants to be a Billboard artist, or maybe win a Grammy:

His gummy smile is guaranteed to make anyone’s day
We can all agree that seeing Suga smile warms our hearts the most. Don’t you ever feel your day brighten when Suga gets up close to a camera and flashes a wide smile?

Just look at how adorable he is when he flashes a gummy smile to the crowd! Suga’s wide smiles will definitely help you feel better after a long day or when you need a pick me up.
