It's no secret that SUGA BTS is nicknamed Minstradamus. The name comes from "Nostradamus," the famous fortune-teller from France. Nostradamus was given to SUGA not without reason. He often says something that will come true in the future.
As he said in the KBS interview, his "predicting" ability even made four people come to SUGA to ask for lottery numbers. Many words of the member whose real name is Min Yoongi really happened, especially about BTS.
Here are 10 SUGA predictions that came true.
1. Holding a concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium
BTS has a tradition always done before their anniversary, namely by holding a content marathon called Festa. One of the series is Kkul FM. In 2015, during the radio show-themed event, SUGA revealed that he wanted to hold a concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium. This is one of the largest stadiums in South Korea.
Holding a performance in an area with a capacity of up to 69,950 people is a dream for many musicians in the country of ginseng. It turns out that this is not just a dream for BTS. The boy group managed to do it in 2018. Again, SUGA's words came true.

2. BTS dominates Billboard
In his first mixtape, Agust D, in 2016, SUGA revealed his prediction about BTS's dominance on the Billboard chart. Here are the lyrics he composed in the song "Agust D":
"Next up
is the Billboard, Brazil to New York. I'm about to burn this passport."
This is proven by BTS, who has held the title of Top Social Artist at the Billboard Music Awards for 4 years, taking first place on the Billboard Hot 100 with the songs "Dynamite" and "Life Goes On." Several BTS albums also reached number one on the Billboard 200.

3. His hard work has paid off with success
SUGA is known for his personality that is not good at making small talk. From the very beginning of his career, he was not shy about expressing his goals for the future on various occasions. For example, as conveyed through the lyrics of BTS' debut song "No More Dream,."
There, he mentioned that he wanted to have a big house, a car, and a ring, which indicated that SUGA wanted to be successful in a career as a musician. This goal was finally realized. He managed to buy an apartment for 3 million dollars, became a Hyundai car brand ambassador, and had a brilliant career.
4. Attend and perform at the Grammy Music Awards
In an interview for
J-14 Magazine in May 2018, SUGA was asked about the next steps they want to
take. Shyly, he replied that he wanted to appear at the Grammy Music Awards.
This turned out to be
a reality. In 2019, BTS attended the Grammys as a presenter. The album Love
Yourself: Tear was also nominated for Best Recording
Package. It didn't stop there. In 2020, BTS was invited as the only
South Korean performer at the Grammys. Their single,
"Dynamite," also received the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
nomination.
5. Triple crown win on South Korean music show
The triple crown is commonly used when a song wins three
times on music shows in South Korea, for example, M Countdown, The Show,
Inkigayo. Not all groups and musicians can get the title because the criteria
are stringent.
Interestingly, SUGA
inadvertently made a prediction regarding this. He wanted to know what it was
like to get a triple crown. This was conveyed in an interview
with Music Bank during the "Run" promotion period. By becoming the
number one artist with 131 wins on music shows, BTS has gone beyond that.
6. Prediction of Hyundai cars that will skyrocket in sales
While taking pictures and videos for Hyundai's promotions, SUGA didn't just do its job of taking photos and videos. He also predicts how the cars advertised by BTS will sell well in the market.
Again this becomes
real. The Hyundai Palisade, which is estimated to have sold 25 thousand units,
has skyrocketed twice as it received a demand of up to 52 thousand units.
7. BTS won the first Daesang award
During the Bon Voyage event in 2016, BTS visited Santa Park, Finland. They wrote letters as Christmas gifts to receive when Christmas arrived.
SUGA wrote a letter to
BTS which stated that they had worked hard and put all their efforts into it.
If the letter arrives when the year-end award ceremony is held, he hopes that
BTS' hard work will pay off with a Daesang.
The letter turned out
to be true. BTS won the first two Daesangs, namely Album of the
Year for The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever at
the 2016 Melon Music Awards and Artist of the Year at the 2016
Mnet Asian Music Awards.
8. BTS is the most influential artist in the world
At the Love Yourself: Tear press conference held in 2018, reporters asked SUGA about their next goal. He revealed that BTS wants to be the most influential musician globally. In 2019, BTS was successfully nominated in TIME magazine's list of most influential artists.
9. Not only big things, but SUGA also predicts his victory when playing UNO
Although already a billionaire, BTS is often competitive in playing even though the prizes are trivial. This was proven when they played UNO in Run BTS!. SUGA, who doesn't want to lose, uses his superpowers to predict which UNO card will win him. The prediction result was correct. Even though it's trivial, it turns out that Minstradamus's power is adequate, huh!
10. BTS managed to hold concerts at the world's biggest stadiums
Still at the same press conference for the release of the album Love Yourself: Tear, SUGA also hopes that BTS can hold concerts at various stadiums worldwide. This wish finally came true.
BTS held a world tour
titled Love Yourself and Speak Yourself, held at
various significant stadiums worldwide. Starting from the Rose Bowl, Wembley,
King Fahd, and many more. The largest is the Rose Bowl, America, accommodating
up to 90 thousand people.
Most of the predictions that SUGA made have come true from a series of predictions. ARMYs are even ready to listen to the projections they will make intentionally or unintentionally in the future. What do you think will come true from SUGA's words, huh?
