BTS' SUGA Reveals Stage Name Inspired By Boxing Legend BTS rapper SUGA is clarifying the origin of his stage name ... revealing it's not short for "shooting guard" after all.

#BTS rapper #SUGA revealed his name comes from boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, not “shooting guard.” The name was suggested by Big Hit founder Mr. Bang, a boxing fan, as a nod to technical striking specialists, fitting for SUGA’s style.
