+<h2>RM pre-debut history</h2>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon started rapping in either June or September 2007 (he's said both
+	dates in different interviews but he was already collaborating with others by
+	September so I'm inclined to believe the June date is more accurate). He was
+	mainly active on the underground hiphop cafe called Jungle Radio, although he
+	did also post on the Hiphopplaya boards from time to time. He had almost no
+	presence on the DC Inside Hip hop Gallery, which is actually kind of ironic
+	considering most of the songs of his that survive come from his old fans
+	posting them on that site.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	And I think that's actually an important fact to keep in mind because all of
+	the songs we have of Namjoon from his time as Runch Randa and Largo survived
+	only because of reposters. Namjoon deleted all his posts on both Jungle Radio
+	and Hiphopplaya sometime around 2010 so we only have the songs that people
+	reposted. This isn't the case for a lot of other underground/amateur artists
+	turned idols. Zico's posts are all or mostly still available to this day for
+	example.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The earliest known collab he did was with Changmo (the same Changmo that
+	featured on Suran's "Wine" which Yoongi produced) which was uploaded to
+	hiphopplaya by Changmo in September 2007. At the time Changmo used the name
+	LUPE.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Through late 2007 and early 2008, Namjoon, along with Changmo/LUPE, were
+	part of a crew called the "Black Pirates." He did his first stages with the
+	Black Pirates, though he later left the group seemingly because he felt they
+	were too focused on fame rather than the music (this info comes from a post on
+	JR where another member of BP talks about why they left and Namjoon commented
+	that he had similar reasons).
+</p>

+		Poster for the 달이차오른다 Concert in 2009. Namjoon's 2010 Big Hit Profile
+		listed him as a guest, likely of the Black Pirates, though he'd also
+		collabed with members of SAFARI and with ex8er.
+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	Despite leaving the group, Namjoon stayed on friendly terms with the members
+	and continued to perform and collab with them in 2009 when a portion of them
+	reorganized into "Undisputed Ill." In the Thanks to section of 2 Cool 4 Skool,
+	Namjoon wrote that he missed both groups (though he referred to them by their
+	abbreviated nicknames "블파" and "언디릴"). He also gave a shout out to Jungle
+	Radio.

+	2008 was the year that Namjoon's profile really raised in the underground
+	scene, and a lot of the old songs we have come from this year. He also went
+	through several name changes which caused some fans to be confused. Besides
+	Runch Randa, he used the names Largo, and The Nexist which he both mentioned
+	in Bon Voyage 2.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The three surviving songs he released as Largo are
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsC-i2TajV8">"LaLaLa"</a>
+	(a collaboration with eiyan and 201호), a song usually referred to as
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAjcAZw-UI8">"녹음물/Recording"</a>
+	with UglyDuck (the original file name of the Uglyduck song was
+	<code>08_07_04_with_Largo</code>), and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1myHveqM5A4">"Favorite Style"</a>
+	a collaboration with Yammo who would go on to win the Big Deal Squad audition
+	over Namjoon a year later "Favorite Style" is also the only song where Namjoon
+	explicitly calls himself Largo in the lyrics.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Besides the Bon Voyage reference, the only other records of the Nexist is a
+	<a href="https://gall.dcinside.com/board/view/?id=hiphop&no=867689">DC board
+		post</a>
+	listing Runch Randa's other aliases (the list also includes the
+	name Stealo, but I've never found Stealo anywhere) and a diss track toward the
+	Nexist from a rapper called Fetion. Fetion wrote Nexist aka 점심 in his post
+	which confirms that the Nexist and Runch Randa were the same person because
+	점심 is the Korean word for Lunch and Lunch when written in hangeul is the
+	same as Runch. Other users had made similar puns with the name Runch Randa
+	before and he was sometimes affectionately called Kim Runch.

+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	In the first half of 2009, Namjoon changed his name from Runch Randa to Randa.
+	Once again, evidence for the change can be seen in the 2C4S Thanks page where he
+	thanks fans of Runch Randa and Randa. In Cypher Part 1, he lists Randa in his
+	list of top 5 rather than Runch Randa. The poster for the 94's Paradise concert
+	also shows the name change.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	2009 also saw the rise of the 94 line in the scene. While both Namjoon and
+	LUPE were fairly well established, new members like Suprema/Supreme Boi,
+	Marvel J, and Kyum2 entered the scene and would later come together to form
+	<a href="https://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/15132635.html">DaeNamHyup</a>
+	(DNH) at either the end of 2009 or the beginning of 2010.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	As evidence of how much Namjoon's star had risen, the first 94 line group
+	song did not include him and there were enough comments about his absence that
+	Supreme Boi had to address it in the comments that Namjoon had been to busy to
+	record. In a Daegu hiphop cafe, Yoondal (a sometimes collaborator with Namjoon
+	and participant in the first group song) uploaded the song and one of the
+	first comments jokingly said they didn't need a 94line song without "Runch."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon is also mentioned in songs by other rappers throughout 2008-2010.
+	I've collected around eight so far and most of the mentions are complimentary
+	and wishing they had his skill or fame. I've also found a couple examples of
+	people "clickbaiting" with the Runch Randa name to gain attention for their
+	own work. (One particularly funny example in hindsight used both Runch Randa
+	and Tiger JK to get attention).
+</p>

+
+<p>
+	In August 2009, Namjoon auditioned to join the Big Deal Squad. He passed the
+	preliminary round along with six other finalists but did not win a spot. In
+	his interview for the
+	<a href="http://tonguetechnology.blogspot.com/2016/12/rap-monster-part-1.html?m=1">"Let's Do Hip Hop"</a>
+	book about Korean rappers, Namjoon said that he forgot most of his lyrics when
+	he went to perform on stage with Big Deal Squad member Dead'p.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	However, his performance must not have been as terrible as he made it out to
+	be, because it was enough for Sleepy from Untouchable to go up to him after
+	the show and get his contact info. (I think it's also possible that Sleepy may
+	have already known Namjoon from his song postings online since that is what he
+	ended up showing Pdogg when they went out for drinks several months later).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	This seems to be a case where either Namjoon or Sleepy isn't telling the
+	whole truth. If Namjoon's performance really was bad, Sleepy probably knew
+	about him beforehand and sought him out because of that. If Sleepy really
+	didn't know of him before hand, Namjoon was probably being overly critical
+	about his performance.
+</p>

+
+<p>
+	After the failed audition, Namjoon seemingly stepped away somewhat from
+	rapping to focus on studying instead, essentially giving up his dream until
+	Sleepy called him out of the blue in May 2010 to suggest he go and meet with
+	Bang PD at Big Hit Entertainment.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Pdogg details a lot of the early process
+	<a href="http://tonguetechnology.blogspot.com/2016/12/interview-idol-maker-pdogg-producer.html">here</a>
+	but essentially Big Hit and Bang PD hired Namjoon first and then kind of tried
+	to come up with a plan of what to do later. Bang PD mentioned in
+	<a href="https://kpopduck.com/post/168890283183/idol-maker-bang-shi-hyuk-ceo-a-company-that/amp?__twitter_impression=true">this interview</a>
+	that they really didn't have much going on in the way of artist recruitment or
+	training when they took on Namjoon. Namjoon was taken on the spot while later
+	trainees where later trainees had to go through a 3 month evaluation period.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon was the first male trainee at Big Hit (though there were other male
+	artists being managed by them) which he referenced in "Freestyle 3." Because
+	of this, Big Hit didn't set up dorms until August 2010 and Namjoon became the
+	first resident there.
+</p>

+
+<p>
+	The same month that Namjoon moved into the dorms, he performed at the DNH Night
+	concert. If you've seen footage of him and Zico performing and he's in a blue
+	shirt, it's from this concert. Notice also that Yammo of Bigdeal Squad is
+	listed. Yammo is the rapper who beat Namjoon in the finals, though they had
+	collabed together before that. V-dob is Iron, who likely got an invite after
+	meeting Namjoon at Big Hit. As far as I know neither of them knew each other
+	before that.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon and Iron recorded 2 songs apiece for the start of the first Hit It
+	auditions, which went on over several months. During that time, they also
+	recording "Hook Gayo" and "We are B.P.B." which were both shared on hip hop
+	sites like hiphopplaya. Many people in the comments recognized Namjoon as
+	Randa/Runch Randa and Supreme Boi, but there was little to know awareness of
+	Iron at that time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	As most people know, Yoongi earned a place at Big Hit after placing second
+	in the finals and i11evn joined Bangtan as the winner of the auditions in late
+	October 2010. Though both i11evn and Iron ended up joining DNH, both of them
+	also left Bangtan with rumors of Iron having left as early as May 2011.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The predebut line-up of Bangtan is still something of a mystery. Namjoon,
+	Iron, and Supreme boi all featured on professionally released tracks under the
+	Bangtan moniker (Though at this time Bangtan was abbreviated as B.P.B and
+	their English name was Bullet Proof Boyz. It changed to BTS at the time of the
+	2nd Hit It Auditions and the release of Paldogangsan). Kyum2 was rumored to
+	have been a member, and Kidoh of Top Dogg (and DNH) was in the lineup at one
+	point.
+</p>

+		which is no longer accessible)
+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	Interestingly, in j-hope's 2c4s thanks to section, he mentions someone named
+	"Park Yeong-man" as a former BTS member along with Iron and i11evn. He also
+	mentions other trainees in a separate section and includes
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d4PyV0h9Nk1sEoICXvYdA">Jihoon</a>
+	who has made several YouTube videos about his time as a bts trainee. I haven't
+	been able to find out any other info about who Yeong-man was, other than that
+	Namjoon also included him in his thanks as part of the "Big Hit Fam" and he was
+	older than both of them since they called him hyung.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	2011 saw the entrance of a lot of new trainees, including Jungkook, Jin (in a
+	vlive they mentioned signing the contracts on the same day), and the above
+	mentioned Jihoon. In a
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3yqKfBoFjw&">video</a>
+	detailing his first impressions of the members, Jihoon mentioned learning that
+	Namjoon was a well-known rapper and that he had a definite leader aura around
+	him.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In another
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpxvu-pkIe8&t=1s">video</a>,
+	Jihoon also credited Namjoon's leadership of the team with their success
+	because he encouraged trainees to help each other rather than falling to the
+	infighting that is common amoungst most trainee groups. Jihoon is quite
+	positive about the year he spent as a trainee living in the dorms and shares a
+	lot of funny stories in his videos.

+
+<p>
+	In August 2011, Namjoon performed at the 3rd 94/DNH concert. As far as I
+	know, this was the last underground concert he did. Interestingly, Deepflow
+	(of the Big Deal Squad though it had more or less gone defunct at this point)
+	was also a performer. You may also know Deepflow as the bald guy sitting
+	beside them and trying to melt into the floor during their talk at the hiphop
+	panel with B-free in 2013.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In 2012 all the members were in place and the line-up was finalized. In addition
+	to working on songs for BTS's debut, Namjoon also worked on GLAM's debut song
+	"Party (XXO)" and the follow-up "I Like That."

+<h2>Suga pre-debut history</h2>
+
+<p>
+	This covers everything I’ve found about Yoongi from 2008 until debut. Some
+	parts of this might be a little repetitive if you’ve read my other posts on
+	Namjoon and Bangtan’s pre-debut history, but I wanted to make this accessible
+	for people who haven’t read those, too.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The first hint of Yoongi is from January 2008 in the Jungle Radio fancafe.
+	Jungle Radio was a big hip hop community fancafe for amateur rappers. It’s
+	also where Namjoon was also most active pre-debut.
+</p>
+
+<figure>
+	<img alt="Post by Min Yoongi asking to level up in the Jungle Radio Fancafe" src="/media/content/bts-pre-debut/suga1.png">
+	<figcaption>
+		Post by Min Yoongi asking to level up in the Jungle Radio Fancafe.
+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	A user named m.y.k, aged 16 and named Min Yoongi, applied to level up. I’m about 90% sure that this is Yoongi, but I don’t want to confirm it completely because there were actually two Kim Namjoons active at the same time in the past (the other Namjoon was a couple years older and went by K-merc among other aliases) so it’s possible that this is another guy named Yoongi and it’s a coincidence. But I think it’s way more likely that it’s correct than not which is why I’m including it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In June of 2008, m.y.k uploaded a short beat for other users in the community to use. Assuming m.y.k is Yoongi, this is the earliest producing sample we have of his. The title of the upload post was “컷 앤 페이스트 처녀작 평가부탁드려요 ㅜㅜ” which translates as “first/debut cut and paste [song] please critique it.” It would be the first song Yoongi ever uploaded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	It was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_D4VYimhuw">re-uploaded to
+		YouTube</a>
+	a few years ago by a channel trying to revive Jungle Radio a bit.
+	They’re definitely of the opinion it’s the same Yoongi but as far as I know
+	they don’t have any additional information about it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	After that, there are no more posts by m.y.k in Jungle Radio. And even
+	worse, I haven’t been able to find any trace of Yoongi from June 2008 until
+	May 2010 which is when he shows up with D-town and using the name Gloss.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	D-town seems to have formed around April 2009 as that’s when their first
+	group song was uploaded. The members at the time were (낙션) Nakshun, Tr.J,
+	Baby J., J.won, and Erika. Except for Nakshun and Erika, all the members seem
+	to have been different by the time Yoongi was performing with them a year
+	later. D-town used to have their own fancafe, but it’s long been closed so
+	unfortunately we don’t have a good source of information about who was in it
+	and when.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	There was another fancafe that wasn’t specific to D-town but was used by
+	Daegu rappers in general. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell Yoongi never
+	posted there (or else he deleted all his posts). Nakshun was active on it as
+	well as on Jungle Radio, though, as was Reflow, who Yoongi would eventually
+	produce a song for.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	So what was Yoongi doing from Jun 2008 to May 2010? It’s possible that he may
+	have uploaded a few more songs during this time, but I think the number was
+	probably small because he never leveled up in Jungle Radio and in a <a href="https://yoongi-net.tumblr.com/post/174632588578/trans-bts-japan-official-fanclub-magazine">2014
+		interview</a>
+	for BTS Official Fanclub Magazine Yoongi said that he composed songs
+	as a hobby in middle school, but didn’t get serious about it until high school.
+	He was, however, <a href="https://sugasuite.tumblr.com/post/149178106008/interview-160819-agust-d-for-grazia-september">working
+		part time</a>
+	in a music studio in Daegu and selling beats
+	he made, so it’s likely that a lot more Min Yoongi beats are out there but
+	probably uncredited toward him unfortunately.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In both interviews Yoongi indicates that he was composing music
+	significantly before he started rapping. He also said in the fanclub interview
+	that he didn’t start rapping properly until he joined D-town in his first year
+	of high school which would have been in 2009/10 (he had rapped by himself
+	since elementary school).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In May 2010, Yoongi finally reappears posting as <a href="https://m.pann.nate.com/talk/pann/201800070">Gloss on PANN</a>. He
+	uploaded the song, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bPlQUYuiQw">“518-062”</a>, a song produced by him and rapped by D-town’s
+	leader, Nakshun. The song was originally made for a competition for a festival
+	honoring the democratic uprising in Gwangju in 1980. It was uploaded as a
+	video, which is easier to see on YouTube (the YouTube uploader also added
+	English and Vietnamese subtitles).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In July 2010, Yoongi was part of a group song with other D-town members
+	called “인생의 진리지 (The Truth of Life).” With Yoongi on the track were
+	D-town members Lucid P and The Smile. Each member produced their own beat and
+	the track was mixed by Yoongi. As far as I know no one has done a translation
+	of the song yet so I’ll include the lyrics in full below.
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p>
+		Glossso fresh G's in the building내랩을 들으면 느끼는 신선한
+		feeling인생의 진리? you know나는 몰라 근데 윤호는 알어그 꼬라지 보면 눈을

+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		그만 닫고 채워 니 지퍼 내 가말할땐
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		듣고 생각하고 잘 맞춰서 행동해
+	</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+	Unfortunately, the audio file for the song no longer exists. I’m not sure when
+	it disappeared or if there’s any chance that someone else might have preserved
+	it but I haven’t been able to come across it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	It’s also interesting that for all the pre-debut raps we have, Yoongi always
+	begins by saying a variant of “So fresh G’s in the building.” He has the same
+	opening in “Swagger,” “Diss,” and his first audition video. So it was kind of
+	like the “Suga” he frequently says now before starting a verse.

+<p>
+	In August 2010, Yoongi performed with D-town at the D-town Vol 2 concert at a
+	Daegu club called, “Live-in-D.” As part of the advertising for the show, a
+	member of D-town <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ5bsuLSM8Q">made a
+		video</a>
+	showing all the performers from a previous
+	concert. From the way the other members are paired up in the footage, I think it
+	was probably taken at the D-town Vol 1 concert in March 2010. Yoongi/Gloss
+	doesn’t appear listed on the poster, but may have participated in the concert
+	anyway (Namjoon also doesn’t appear on the earliest posters for shows he
+	performed at).

+
+<p>
+	It’s also possible that the footage of Yoongi came from some other concert since
+	Live-in-D was a very popular venue for amateur and underground rappers in Daegu.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The Hit It Auditions for Bangtan opened at the end of August 2010 with the Final
+	Auditions planned for October 2010. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h43Cr6CGo8E">“724148”</a>
+	from Agust D Yoongi talks a bit
+	about the audition process and his pre-debut life.

+
+	<p>
+		“Like being shot by a gun”
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		So that’s how I entered the competition
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		With my crew hyungs
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		They said we should pass the preliminary round first

+

+		To reach the final round
+	</p>
+
+	<p>

+
+	<p>
+		I changed the entire thing

+
+<p>
+	Everyone auditioning had to use one of the four songs released. Yoongi used
+	“Seventeen” (one of the two songs Namjoon rapped on) and made some modifications
+	to the beat which caught the attention of the Hit It Judges. You can listen to
+	differences by comparing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEo-2BsNluM">Namjoon’s original</a>, and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwBU2w5ddI">Yoongi’s modified version</a>. (I'm
+	fairly sure Pdogg did the beats for all 4 songs but I haven't been able to
+	re-find the interview that said that).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Leading up to October, there was a round of online voting on an app/website
+	called Love Beat. 3 finalists were selected from the Love Beat voting and
+	judges opinions and Yoongi was advertised as the Love Beat 1st place winner on
+	the poster for the Hit It Audition Final

+
+<p>
+	The Hit It Final Audition was held at NB2 in Hongdae and was a rap battle
+	tournament which promised the winner a place in Bangtan. Only the final round
+	between Yoongi and Choi Ikje (i11evn) has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdW0M0fRnc4">surviving video</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Although Yoongi came in second to I11evn, Big Hit brought them both in, Yoongi’s
+	producing playing a strong role in him being taken on. Yoongi has said in
+	multiple interviews that his initial plan was to be a producer at Big Hit, but
+	as far as I can tell he was always a Bangtan member as well (other members like
+	Jimin and Jin spent a long period as trainees without being officially assigned
+	to Bangtan).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	At some point Yoongi had a profile picture on the Big Hit website which you can
+	see in this picture below. I’m not sure if it was during the audition process or
+	after that it was uploaded because I’ve never found a firsthand source for it.
+	In any case, he mentions being in D-town and writing, composing, producing and
+	rapping. He also lists himself as a 2nd year high school student in Daegu, so my
+	guess is that this might have been uploaded during the Love Beat voting process
+	but if not it would have been shortly afterward.

+
+<p>
+	Yoongi moved to Seoul on November 7th, 2010 and into the dorms on November 13th.
+	He also re-recorded his rap battle songs against i11evn which are the pre-debut
+	tracks <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdAV7tJf0Pg">“Swagger”</a>
+	and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmG1EhBntCA">“Diss”</a>. “Diss” is slightly different from the live version
+	because Yoongi had originally ended by saying it was obvious he won, but in the
+	recorded version he added the line, “But I lost. Damn.”

+
+<p>
+	Although it wasn’t released until September 2011, sometime in the summer of
+	2010 Yoongi made the beat for another Daegu underground rapper named Reflow.
+	The song was called “Who Am I” and was on Reflow’s mixtape Represent. The
+	mixtape also included a remixed version of the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y74CxrkkoVo">featuring Basick</a>
+	(who
+	was also approached about being in Bangtan at one point). Yoongi was credited
+	as Min Yoongi rather than Gloss in the <a href="http://archive.hiphopplaya.com/magazine/article/view.html?category=2&category2=0&mode=&page=172&sort=1&num=7905&keyfield=&key=">track
+		list</a>. The only version I’ve found of the original rather than the remix
+	is this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SajtQocxTSo">live
+		performance</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In August 2011, Yoongi appeared on his first Bangtan song, the original version
+	of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkil2Gocrs">“Satoori Rap”</a>
+	with Namjoon and Hoseok. By this time, all the old members of
+	Bangtan were out and the only ones still officially in were Namjoon, Yoongi, and
+	Hoseok according to Hoseok’s 2013 <a href="https://bantan.tumblr.com/post/177907541434/jp-fc-vol-1-my-biography-with-bts-j-hope">Japan
+		Fanclub interview</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	At some point in 2011 or 2012, Yoongi injured his shoulder in a car accident
+	while working a part time job as a delivery boy. According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmZ3DPJQo2k">Burn the Stage episode
+		3</a>, he hid the injury from the company for a while because he was afraid
+	he would get cut from the group if they found out. He also had to give up
+	dancing which he used to enjoy. He also mentions the injury in the lyrics for
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB_AP7DLQ0w">“The Last”</a>
+	on Agust
+	D.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In 2012, he appears as a backup dancer for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbAagOhXbJ0">GLAM and SeeU</a>
+	and he also has a cameo
+	in Jo Kwon’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWgH0DsD0pQ">“Im Da One”</a>
+	music video.

+		They’re trying to help. But help, at scale, becomes architecture. And
+		architecture shapes cognition. The interfaces we use become metaphors

+
+<p>
+	Since I had an upcoming trip to Japan, my goal was simple: setup enough of a

+			<li>Tod in Venedig, Thomas Mann
+				<blockquote>
+					at the start the style of writing was preventing me from getting into
+					the story fully, as i was reading i got used to it and by the end found
+					myself quite enjoying it. apart from the style i find nothing
+					particularly special about it. the conclusion is quite unexpected
+					though. i found the epilog by terence james reed contextualised the
+					writing of the book in thomas manns life really useful.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<h2 id="oct25">october</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>The Burning Shore, Wilbur Smith
+				<blockquote>
+					while it kept me awake until 3am for 3 days i really disliked the
+					tonal shift between the second and third acts. how can he portray the
+					lifestyle of the san the way he does and then have centaine tear up
+					their sacred place of ancestor worship for diamonds. then the in-world
+					justification, that it will provide "good water" for her son. to me is
+					just blatant sugarcoating of an act that clearly violates the memory
+					and principles of the people she has her life to thank for. though she
+					had already all but forgotten them, when it was time for the story to
+					move on from including o'wa and h'ani.
+					<br>
+					another gripe with the writing i've had is the way the female lead is
+					written. it is so obvious, that the author is a man of the last
+					century... centaine in both instances immediately falls for the male,
+					that is so clearly set up to be her love-interest.
+					<br>
+					The book
+					<i>is</i>
+					from 1985, that might put some of this into perspective.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<h2 id="sep25">september</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>The Passage, Justin Cronin
+				<blockquote>
+					i can't quite remember where i even found this book. specifically the
+					part after the timeskip pulled me in and i just needed to know what
+					happens next. the book sets up a series and i am quite curious what
+					else they are going to do with the characters - i am personally happy
+					with what they did and wouldn't
+					<i>need</i>
+					more.
+					<br>
+					one small detail from the epilog i like is that apparently he co-wrote
+					the concept for the book together with his daughter.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<h2 id="aug25">august</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Abroad in Japan, Chris Broad
+				<blockquote>
+					after reading the first half, i would already recommend this
+					book. even without any context on the author or japan, this has
+					some really funny stories. i also like how i can almost hear
+					chris' voice in the writing.
+				</blockquote></li>
+			<li>The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury
+				<blockquote>
+					this one took a while. started reading pretty much right after
+					Native Tongue at the end of march. the book works well for piece
+					meal reading, since it's a collection of stories set in a
+					shared world. my favorites were the one where 'and the moon be
+					still as bright' and 'the million year picnic'.
+					overall i think i prefer this over fahrenheit if i had to
+					recommend one. this one executes the almost educational tone
+					better while telling actually great scifi stories, which often
+					left me thinking about them later.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<h2 id="mar25">march</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Native Tongue, Suzette Haden Elgin
+				<blockquote>
+					read most of this in two long sessions while we were in
+					turkey. after a bit of a slow start i liked the spin on
+					"dystopian future-not-future society"; the world building
+					is reminiscent of handmaid's tale, but i felt like there
+					was more exploration of the inner workings of
+					<i>why</i>
+					society is that way; the feminist context shines through
+					especially towards the end, when the plot only works because the
+					men are all arrogant assholes, which was satisfying but a
+					bit one-dimensional.
+				</blockquote></li>

+		<h2 id="jan25">january</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Record of a Night too brief, Hiromi Kawakami
+				<blockquote>
+					the first half consists of surreal dreamlike short stories
+					that only refer to their protagonists as 'me' and 'the
+					girl'. second half is two longer stories. i enjoyed
+					interpreting what everything might mean, but wasn't
+					particularly drawn to the book because of the episodic
+					nature at the start. read the second half in one afternoon.

+			<li>Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson
+				<blockquote>
+					had I not read Ready Player One and Neuromancer before,
+					this would surely have left a better impression.
+					the part about the sumarian virus is creative but feels
+					forced at the end when it is used to resolve
+					everything.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<h2 id="nov24">november</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Celestial Bodies, Jokha Alharthi
+				<blockquote>
+					read this while in iceland. basically a family history
+					focused on the women. i had no background on oman's
+					history or society. super interesting from that angle.
+					sometimes a bit slow and confusing, since it's jumping
+					around the timeline.
+				</blockquote></li>
+			<li>Snow Country, Kawabata Yasunari
+				<blockquote>
+					i am a sucker for japanese novels and their erie vibe.
+					this one has it too. so many small details that feel
+					meaningless on the surface but add some much to the
+					experience of the book.
+				</blockquote></li>

+		<ul>
+			<li><a href="//100r.co/site/busy_doing_nothing.html">Busy Doing Nothing</a>,
+			Rek Bellum &amp; Devine Lu Linvega
+			<blockquote>
+				somehow i fell down the rabbithole (lol) of rek &
+				devine's world this month. their log is fascinating and
+				inspiring. much of their stuff makes you want to set
+				out to sail yourself, and much of this book does too,
+				but then there is also details (like the wave incident)
+				that make you say: hell no.

+			<li><code>DROPPED</code>
+			<i>Illuminatus! Part 1: The Eye in the Pyramid, Robert Shea</i>
+			<blockquote>
+				I did not like the meandering writing and whacky
+				storylines that kept looping back onto each other.

+		<h2 id="jul24">july</h2>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Der stumme Tod, Volker Kutscher</li>
+			<li>At the Mountains of Madness, H.P. Lovecraft
+				<blockquote>
+					the story was mildly scary but entertaining. he kind of
+					overused "scary" adjective-noun pairs: cosmic fear,
+					blasphemous mountains. i don't understand how the pov
+					character thinks his report will hold back further
+					exploration of that region of antarctica. i would actually
+					expect it to inspire more attention.
+				</blockquote></li>
+			<li>Only Human (Themis Files #3), Sylvain Neuvel
+				<blockquote>
+					i did not like this compared to the other two entries
+					to the series. mostly takes place on the world of the
+					creators of the "mechs". the style feels off compared
+					to the first novel when we were seeing the story evolve
+					through the eyes of the unnamed character.
+				</blockquote></li>

+		<ul>
+			<li>Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut</li>
+			<li>Neuromancer, William Gibson</li>
+			<li>Convenience Store Woman, Murata Sayaka
+				<blockquote>
+					i admit, i probably started this out of nostalgia after
+					coming back from japan. it's a cute little story that
+					nicely shows how weird japanese society can be.
+				</blockquote></li>
+		</ul>
+		<p class="notice">
+			i left my ereader at a cafe on the 1st of january of this year
+			while traveling in south korea. i only got a replacement in june.
+			that's why there is a 6 month gap where i did not read anything
+			this year.

+<h2>RM pre-debut history</h2>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon started rapping in either June or September 2007 (he's said both
+	dates in different interviews but he was already collaborating with others by
+	September so I'm inclined to believe the June date is more accurate). He was
+	mainly active on the underground hiphop cafe called Jungle Radio, although he
+	did also post on the Hiphopplaya boards from time to time. He had almost no
+	presence on the DC Inside Hip hop Gallery, which is actually kind of ironic
+	considering most of the songs of his that survive come from his old fans
+	posting them on that site.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	And I think that's actually an important fact to keep in mind because all of
+	the songs we have of Namjoon from his time as Runch Randa and Largo survived
+	only because of reposters. Namjoon deleted all his posts on both Jungle Radio
+	and Hiphopplaya sometime around 2010 so we only have the songs that people
+	reposted. This isn't the case for a lot of other underground/amateur artists
+	turned idols. Zico's posts are all or mostly still available to this day for
+	example.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The earliest known collab he did was with Changmo (the same Changmo that
+	featured on Suran's "Wine" which Yoongi produced) which was uploaded to
+	hiphopplaya by Changmo in September 2007. At the time Changmo used the name
+	LUPE.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Through late 2007 and early 2008, Namjoon, along with Changmo/LUPE, were
+	part of a crew called the "Black Pirates." He did his first stages with the
+	Black Pirates, though he later left the group seemingly because he felt they
+	were too focused on fame rather than the music (this info comes from a post on
+	JR where another member of BP talks about why they left and Namjoon commented
+	that he had similar reasons).
+</p>
+

+	<figcaption>
+		Poster for the 달이차오른다 Concert in 2009. Namjoon's 2010 Big Hit Profile
+		listed him as a guest, likely of the Black Pirates, though he'd also
+		collabed with members of SAFARI and with ex8er.
+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	Despite leaving the group, Namjoon stayed on friendly terms with the members
+	and continued to perform and collab with them in 2009 when a portion of them
+	reorganized into "Undisputed Ill." In the Thanks to section of 2 Cool 4 Skool,
+	Namjoon wrote that he missed both groups (though he referred to them by their
+	abbreviated nicknames "블파" and "언디릴"). He also gave a shout out to Jungle
+	Radio.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	2008 was the year that Namjoon's profile really raised in the underground
+	scene, and a lot of the old songs we have come from this year. He also went
+	through several name changes which caused some fans to be confused. Besides
+	Runch Randa, he used the names Largo, and The Nexist which he both mentioned
+	in Bon Voyage 2.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The three surviving songs he released as Largo are
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsC-i2TajV8">"LaLaLa"</a>
+	(a collaboration with eiyan and 201호), a song usually referred to as
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAjcAZw-UI8">"녹음물/Recording"</a>
+	with UglyDuck (the original file name of the Uglyduck song was
+	<code>08_07_04_with_Largo</code>), and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1myHveqM5A4">"Favorite Style"</a>
+	a collaboration with Yammo who would go on to win the Big Deal Squad audition
+	over Namjoon a year later "Favorite Style" is also the only song where Namjoon
+	explicitly calls himself Largo in the lyrics.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Besides the Bon Voyage reference, the only other records of the Nexist is a
+	<a href="https://gall.dcinside.com/board/view/?id=hiphop&no=867689">DC board
+		post</a>
+	listing Runch Randa's other aliases (the list also includes the
+	name Stealo, but I've never found Stealo anywhere) and a diss track toward the
+	Nexist from a rapper called Fetion. Fetion wrote Nexist aka 점심 in his post
+	which confirms that the Nexist and Runch Randa were the same person because
+	점심 is the Korean word for Lunch and Lunch when written in hangeul is the
+	same as Runch. Other users had made similar puns with the name Runch Randa
+	before and he was sometimes affectionately called Kim Runch.
+</p>

+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	In the first half of 2009, Namjoon changed his name from Runch Randa to Randa.
+	Once again, evidence for the change can be seen in the 2C4S Thanks page where he
+	thanks fans of Runch Randa and Randa. In Cypher Part 1, he lists Randa in his
+	list of top 5 rather than Runch Randa. The poster for the 94's Paradise concert
+	also shows the name change.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	2009 also saw the rise of the 94 line in the scene. While both Namjoon and
+	LUPE were fairly well established, new members like Suprema/Supreme Boi,
+	Marvel J, and Kyum2 entered the scene and would later come together to form
+	<a href="https://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/15132635.html">DaeNamHyup</a>
+	(DNH) at either the end of 2009 or the beginning of 2010.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	As evidence of how much Namjoon's star had risen, the first 94 line group
+	song did not include him and there were enough comments about his absence that
+	Supreme Boi had to address it in the comments that Namjoon had been to busy to
+	record. In a Daegu hiphop cafe, Yoondal (a sometimes collaborator with Namjoon
+	and participant in the first group song) uploaded the song and one of the
+	first comments jokingly said they didn't need a 94line song without "Runch."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon is also mentioned in songs by other rappers throughout 2008-2010.
+	I've collected around eight so far and most of the mentions are complimentary
+	and wishing they had his skill or fame. I've also found a couple examples of
+	people "clickbaiting" with the Runch Randa name to gain attention for their
+	own work. (One particularly funny example in hindsight used both Runch Randa
+	and Tiger JK to get attention).
+</p>

+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	In August 2009, Namjoon auditioned to join the Big Deal Squad. He passed the
+	preliminary round along with six other finalists but did not win a spot. In
+	his interview for the
+	<a href="http://tonguetechnology.blogspot.com/2016/12/rap-monster-part-1.html?m=1">"Let's Do Hip Hop"</a>
+	book about Korean rappers, Namjoon said that he forgot most of his lyrics when
+	he went to perform on stage with Big Deal Squad member Dead'p.
+</p>
+

+	However, his performance must not have been as terrible as he made it out to
+	be, because it was enough for Sleepy from Untouchable to go up to him after
+	the show and get his contact info. (I think it's also possible that Sleepy may
+	have already known Namjoon from his song postings online since that is what he
+	ended up showing Pdogg when they went out for drinks several months later).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	This seems to be a case where either Namjoon or Sleepy isn't telling the
+	whole truth. If Namjoon's performance really was bad, Sleepy probably knew
+	about him beforehand and sought him out because of that. If Sleepy really
+	didn't know of him before hand, Namjoon was probably being overly critical
+	about his performance.

+
+<p>
+	After the failed audition, Namjoon seemingly stepped away somewhat from
+	rapping to focus on studying instead, essentially giving up his dream until
+	Sleepy called him out of the blue in May 2010 to suggest he go and meet with
+	Bang PD at Big Hit Entertainment.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Pdogg details a lot of the early process
+	<a href="http://tonguetechnology.blogspot.com/2016/12/interview-idol-maker-pdogg-producer.html">here</a>
+	but essentially Big Hit and Bang PD hired Namjoon first and then kind of tried
+	to come up with a plan of what to do later. Bang PD mentioned in
+	<a href="https://kpopduck.com/post/168890283183/idol-maker-bang-shi-hyuk-ceo-a-company-that/amp?__twitter_impression=true">this interview</a>
+	that they really didn't have much going on in the way of artist recruitment or
+	training when they took on Namjoon. Namjoon was taken on the spot while later
+	trainees where later trainees had to go through a 3 month evaluation period.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon was the first male trainee at Big Hit (though there were other male
+	artists being managed by them) which he referenced in "Freestyle 3." Because
+	of this, Big Hit didn't set up dorms until August 2010 and Namjoon became the
+	first resident there.

+
+<p>
+	The same month that Namjoon moved into the dorms, he performed at the DNH Night
+	concert. If you've seen footage of him and Zico performing and he's in a blue
+	shirt, it's from this concert. Notice also that Yammo of Bigdeal Squad is
+	listed. Yammo is the rapper who beat Namjoon in the finals, though they had
+	collabed together before that. V-dob is Iron, who likely got an invite after
+	meeting Namjoon at Big Hit. As far as I know neither of them knew each other
+	before that.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Namjoon and Iron recorded 2 songs apiece for the start of the first Hit It
+	auditions, which went on over several months. During that time, they also
+	recording "Hook Gayo" and "We are B.P.B." which were both shared on hip hop
+	sites like hiphopplaya. Many people in the comments recognized Namjoon as
+	Randa/Runch Randa and Supreme Boi, but there was little to know awareness of
+	Iron at that time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	As most people know, Yoongi earned a place at Big Hit after placing second
+	in the finals and i11evn joined Bangtan as the winner of the auditions in late
+	October 2010. Though both i11evn and Iron ended up joining DNH, both of them
+	also left Bangtan with rumors of Iron having left as early as May 2011.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The predebut line-up of Bangtan is still something of a mystery. Namjoon,
+	Iron, and Supreme boi all featured on professionally released tracks under the
+	Bangtan moniker (Though at this time Bangtan was abbreviated as B.P.B and
+	their English name was Bullet Proof Boyz. It changed to BTS at the time of the
+	2nd Hit It Auditions and the release of Paldogangsan). Kyum2 was rumored to
+	have been a member, and Kidoh of Top Dogg (and DNH) was in the lineup at one
+	point.

+
+<p>
+	Interestingly, in j-hope's 2c4s thanks to section, he mentions someone named
+	"Park Yeong-man" as a former BTS member along with Iron and i11evn. He also
+	mentions other trainees in a separate section and includes
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d4PyV0h9Nk1sEoICXvYdA">Jihoon</a>
+	who has made several YouTube videos about his time as a bts trainee. I haven't
+	been able to find out any other info about who Yeong-man was, other than that
+	Namjoon also included him in his thanks as part of the "Big Hit Fam" and he was
+	older than both of them since they called him hyung.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	2011 saw the entrance of a lot of new trainees, including Jungkook, Jin (in a
+	vlive they mentioned signing the contracts on the same day), and the above
+	mentioned Jihoon. In a
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3yqKfBoFjw&">video</a>
+	detailing his first impressions of the members, Jihoon mentioned learning that
+	Namjoon was a well-known rapper and that he had a definite leader aura around
+	him.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In another
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpxvu-pkIe8&t=1s">video</a>,
+	Jihoon also credited Namjoon's leadership of the team with their success
+	because he encouraged trainees to help each other rather than falling to the
+	infighting that is common amoungst most trainee groups. Jihoon is quite
+	positive about the year he spent as a trainee living in the dorms and shares a
+	lot of funny stories in his videos.

+
+<p>
+	In August 2011, Namjoon performed at the 3rd 94/DNH concert. As far as I
+	know, this was the last underground concert he did. Interestingly, Deepflow
+	(of the Big Deal Squad though it had more or less gone defunct at this point)
+	was also a performer. You may also know Deepflow as the bald guy sitting
+	beside them and trying to melt into the floor during their talk at the hiphop
+	panel with B-free in 2013.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In 2012 all the members were in place and the line-up was finalized. In addition
+	to working on songs for BTS's debut, Namjoon also worked on GLAM's debut song
+	"Party (XXO)" and the follow-up "I Like That."

+<h2>Suga pre-debut history</h2>
+
+<p>
+	This covers everything I’ve found about Yoongi from 2008 until debut. Some
+	parts of this might be a little repetitive if you’ve read my other posts on
+	Namjoon and Bangtan’s pre-debut history, but I wanted to make this accessible
+	for people who haven’t read those, too.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The first hint of Yoongi is from January 2008 in the Jungle Radio fancafe.
+	Jungle Radio was a big hip hop community fancafe for amateur rappers. It’s
+	also where Namjoon was also most active pre-debut.
+</p>
+
+<figure>
+	<img alt="Post by Min Yoongi asking to level up in the Jungle Radio Fancafe" src="/media/content/bts-pre-debut/suga1.png">
+	<figcaption>
+		Post by Min Yoongi asking to level up in the Jungle Radio Fancafe.
+	</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	A user named m.y.k, aged 16 and named Min Yoongi, applied to level up. I’m about 90% sure that this is Yoongi, but I don’t want to confirm it completely because there were actually two Kim Namjoons active at the same time in the past (the other Namjoon was a couple years older and went by K-merc among other aliases) so it’s possible that this is another guy named Yoongi and it’s a coincidence. But I think it’s way more likely that it’s correct than not which is why I’m including it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In June of 2008, m.y.k uploaded a short beat for other users in the community to use. Assuming m.y.k is Yoongi, this is the earliest producing sample we have of his. The title of the upload post was “컷 앤 페이스트 처녀작 평가부탁드려요 ㅜㅜ” which translates as “first/debut cut and paste [song] please critique it.” It would be the first song Yoongi ever uploaded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	It was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_D4VYimhuw">re-uploaded to
+		YouTube</a>
+	a few years ago by a channel trying to revive Jungle Radio a bit.
+	They’re definitely of the opinion it’s the same Yoongi but as far as I know
+	they don’t have any additional information about it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	After that, there are no more posts by m.y.k in Jungle Radio. And even
+	worse, I haven’t been able to find any trace of Yoongi from June 2008 until
+	May 2010 which is when he shows up with D-town and using the name Gloss.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	D-town seems to have formed around April 2009 as that’s when their first
+	group song was uploaded. The members at the time were (낙션) Nakshun, Tr.J,
+	Baby J., J.won, and Erika. Except for Nakshun and Erika, all the members seem
+	to have been different by the time Yoongi was performing with them a year
+	later. D-town used to have their own fancafe, but it’s long been closed so
+	unfortunately we don’t have a good source of information about who was in it
+	and when.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	There was another fancafe that wasn’t specific to D-town but was used by
+	Daegu rappers in general. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell Yoongi never
+	posted there (or else he deleted all his posts). Nakshun was active on it as
+	well as on Jungle Radio, though, as was Reflow, who Yoongi would eventually
+	produce a song for.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	So what was Yoongi doing from Jun 2008 to May 2010? It’s possible that he may
+	have uploaded a few more songs during this time, but I think the number was
+	probably small because he never leveled up in Jungle Radio and in a <a href="https://yoongi-net.tumblr.com/post/174632588578/trans-bts-japan-official-fanclub-magazine">2014
+		interview</a>
+	for BTS Official Fanclub Magazine Yoongi said that he composed songs
+	as a hobby in middle school, but didn’t get serious about it until high school.
+	He was, however, <a href="https://sugasuite.tumblr.com/post/149178106008/interview-160819-agust-d-for-grazia-september">working
+		part time</a>
+	in a music studio in Daegu and selling beats
+	he made, so it’s likely that a lot more Min Yoongi beats are out there but
+	probably uncredited toward him unfortunately.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In both interviews Yoongi indicates that he was composing music
+	significantly before he started rapping. He also said in the fanclub interview
+	that he didn’t start rapping properly until he joined D-town in his first year
+	of high school which would have been in 2009/10 (he had rapped by himself
+	since elementary school).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In May 2010, Yoongi finally reappears posting as <a href="https://m.pann.nate.com/talk/pann/201800070">Gloss on PANN</a>. He
+	uploaded the song, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bPlQUYuiQw">“518-062”</a>, a song produced by him and rapped by D-town’s
+	leader, Nakshun. The song was originally made for a competition for a festival
+	honoring the democratic uprising in Gwangju in 1980. It was uploaded as a
+	video, which is easier to see on YouTube (the YouTube uploader also added
+	English and Vietnamese subtitles).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In July 2010, Yoongi was part of a group song with other D-town members
+	called “인생의 진리지 (The Truth of Life).” With Yoongi on the track were
+	D-town members Lucid P and The Smile. Each member produced their own beat and
+	the track was mixed by Yoongi. As far as I know no one has done a translation
+	of the song yet so I’ll include the lyrics in full below.
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p>
+		Glossso fresh G's in the building내랩을 들으면 느끼는 신선한
+		feeling인생의 진리? you know나는 몰라 근데 윤호는 알어그 꼬라지 보면 눈을

+	</p>

+	<p>

+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		다 씹혀 난 항상 내스탈만을 고수하고 지켜
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		그만 닫고 채워 니 지퍼 내 가말할땐
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		듣고 생각하고 잘 맞춰서 행동해
+	</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+	Unfortunately, the audio file for the song no longer exists. I’m not sure when
+	it disappeared or if there’s any chance that someone else might have preserved
+	it but I haven’t been able to come across it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	It’s also interesting that for all the pre-debut raps we have, Yoongi always
+	begins by saying a variant of “So fresh G’s in the building.” He has the same
+	opening in “Swagger,” “Diss,” and his first audition video. So it was kind of
+	like the “Suga” he frequently says now before starting a verse.

+
+<p>
+	In August 2010, Yoongi performed with D-town at the D-town Vol 2 concert at a
+	Daegu club called, “Live-in-D.” As part of the advertising for the show, a
+	member of D-town <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ5bsuLSM8Q">made a
+		video</a>
+	showing all the performers from a previous
+	concert. From the way the other members are paired up in the footage, I think it
+	was probably taken at the D-town Vol 1 concert in March 2010. Yoongi/Gloss
+	doesn’t appear listed on the poster, but may have participated in the concert
+	anyway (Namjoon also doesn’t appear on the earliest posters for shows he
+	performed at).

+</figure>
+
+<p>
+	It’s also possible that the footage of Yoongi came from some other concert since
+	Live-in-D was a very popular venue for amateur and underground rappers in Daegu.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	The Hit It Auditions for Bangtan opened at the end of August 2010 with the Final
+	Auditions planned for October 2010. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h43Cr6CGo8E">“724148”</a>
+	from Agust D Yoongi talks a bit
+	about the audition process and his pre-debut life.
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p>
+		“It’s the rapping competition organized by Bang Sihyuk
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Bang Sihyuk is that guy
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Who worked with that Baek Jiyoung that-

+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		“Like being shot by a gun”
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		So that’s how I entered the competition
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		With my crew hyungs
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		They said we should pass the preliminary round first
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		To reach the final round
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Ok that’s easy peasy
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		The beat they gave us to rap
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		I changed the entire thing

+
+	<p>
+		If you were me, would you do this?
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Listen, which company would, huh?
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Say no to this genius.
+	</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+	Everyone auditioning had to use one of the four songs released. Yoongi used
+	“Seventeen” (one of the two songs Namjoon rapped on) and made some modifications
+	to the beat which caught the attention of the Hit It Judges. You can listen to
+	differences by comparing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEo-2BsNluM">Namjoon’s original</a>, and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwBU2w5ddI">Yoongi’s modified version</a>. (I'm
+	fairly sure Pdogg did the beats for all 4 songs but I haven't been able to
+	re-find the interview that said that).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Leading up to October, there was a round of online voting on an app/website
+	called Love Beat. 3 finalists were selected from the Love Beat voting and
+	judges opinions and Yoongi was advertised as the Love Beat 1st place winner on
+	the poster for the Hit It Audition Final
+</p>
+

+
+<p>
+	The Hit It Final Audition was held at NB2 in Hongdae and was a rap battle
+	tournament which promised the winner a place in Bangtan. Only the final round
+	between Yoongi and Choi Ikje (i11evn) has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdW0M0fRnc4">surviving video</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	Although Yoongi came in second to I11evn, Big Hit brought them both in, Yoongi’s
+	producing playing a strong role in him being taken on. Yoongi has said in
+	multiple interviews that his initial plan was to be a producer at Big Hit, but
+	as far as I can tell he was always a Bangtan member as well (other members like
+	Jimin and Jin spent a long period as trainees without being officially assigned
+	to Bangtan).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	At some point Yoongi had a profile picture on the Big Hit website which you can
+	see in this picture below. I’m not sure if it was during the audition process or
+	after that it was uploaded because I’ve never found a firsthand source for it.
+	In any case, he mentions being in D-town and writing, composing, producing and
+	rapping. He also lists himself as a 2nd year high school student in Daegu, so my
+	guess is that this might have been uploaded during the Love Beat voting process
+	but if not it would have been shortly afterward.

+	Yoongi moved to Seoul on November 7th, 2010 and into the dorms on November 13th.
+	He also re-recorded his rap battle songs against i11evn which are the pre-debut
+	tracks <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdAV7tJf0Pg">“Swagger”</a>
+	and
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmG1EhBntCA">“Diss”</a>. “Diss” is slightly different from the live version
+	because Yoongi had originally ended by saying it was obvious he won, but in the
+	recorded version he added the line, “But I lost. Damn.”

+<p>
+	Although it wasn’t released until September 2011, sometime in the summer of
+	2010 Yoongi made the beat for another Daegu underground rapper named Reflow.
+	The song was called “Who Am I” and was on Reflow’s mixtape Represent. The
+	mixtape also included a remixed version of the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y74CxrkkoVo">featuring Basick</a>
+	(who
+	was also approached about being in Bangtan at one point). Yoongi was credited
+	as Min Yoongi rather than Gloss in the <a href="http://archive.hiphopplaya.com/magazine/article/view.html?category=2&category2=0&mode=&page=172&sort=1&num=7905&keyfield=&key=">track
+		list</a>. The only version I’ve found of the original rather than the remix
+	is this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SajtQocxTSo">live
+		performance</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In August 2011, Yoongi appeared on his first Bangtan song, the original version
+	of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkil2Gocrs">“Satoori Rap”</a>
+	with Namjoon and Hoseok. By this time, all the old members of
+	Bangtan were out and the only ones still officially in were Namjoon, Yoongi, and
+	Hoseok according to Hoseok’s 2013 <a href="https://bantan.tumblr.com/post/177907541434/jp-fc-vol-1-my-biography-with-bts-j-hope">Japan
+		Fanclub interview</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	At some point in 2011 or 2012, Yoongi injured his shoulder in a car accident
+	while working a part time job as a delivery boy. According to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmZ3DPJQo2k">Burn the Stage episode
+		3</a>, he hid the injury from the company for a while because he was afraid
+	he would get cut from the group if they found out. He also had to give up
+	dancing which he used to enjoy. He also mentions the injury in the lyrics for
+	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB_AP7DLQ0w">“The Last”</a>
+	on Agust
+	D.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+	In 2012, he appears as a backup dancer for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbAagOhXbJ0">GLAM and SeeU</a>
+	and he also has a cameo
+	in Jo Kwon’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWgH0DsD0pQ">“Im Da One”</a>
+	music video.
