I think we and the label know in a to a certain extent what kinds of activities would be the best. commercially speaking. But the question is whether the body can handle it or not. If fatigue builds up as you do these promotional activities, it is difficult. to do them like you did when you debuted. In that case, I think the label needs to actively consider the artist’s views on what he can and can’t do. “

“An attitude that’s just like, Oh, we’ve made kids out of you, and as long as you do what we tell you, you’ll be fine, so do it, I think it really doesn’t make sense. sure there could always be situations where the label has to be cocky like that, obviously. But I’ve heard that there have been times when a label will just say, Do it, with no explanation to the artist, or, Why are you talking so much, “I think that’s the biggest problem and it’s destroying the industry. If you only see the artist as a product, how can he do anything creative? I really think it’s very contradictory to ask people on stage to do a nice performance when they don’t feel pleasure or pleasure, “he added. In the interview, Suga said that an artist’s job is difficult and there are many improvements that “need to be made to the industry and its system”.
