Suga also mentioned the music labels attitude which “Oh, we made you kids, and as long as you just do what we tell you to, it will all work out, so just do it” isn’t doing any good to the industry.

He also questioned if the music labels see the artist as products how could they become creative. Not only that he said that becoming an artist isn’t an easy task.
