BACKGROUND:Min Yoongi was born into a poor family in Daegu, South Korea. He has an older brother and both parents. He went to high school at Apgujeong High School, and then attended Global Cyber University, and he majored in Broadcasting Performing Arts. Yoongi's parents weren't supportive at first, but later accepted it and became proud of him.
Min Yoongi was an underground rapper and producer before his debut in BTS. His rap name was "Gloss" and he started rapping in high school. It wasn't only Yoongi's rap that attracted people. He spent a lot of his time producing beats for the people in his hometown of Daegu, mostly for a group called "D-TOWN". He gained popularity among the larger rap scene, and began producing beats for more popular artists. One of his more popular rap beats was produced for "Reflow" in a song called "Who Am I."
Yoongi started becoming more interested in upping his skills, so he decided to audition for Big Hit in a rap contest. He won second place, and joined Big Hit as a producer/trainee. He was only wanting to be a producer at first but he was convinced into joining BTS in 2010.
