BTS’ SUGA, who also goes by the name Agust D for his solo work, has reached a new streaming milestone. On June 17, 2025, it was reported that his song Burn It, featuring American artist MAX, has crossed 100 million streams on Spotify. This exciting news comes just a few days before SUGA finishes his mandatory military service on June 21, making the achievement even more emotional and special for fans who are eagerly waiting for his return.
Burn It is one of Agust D’s most powerful and memorable songs. It was released in May 2020 as part of his second solo mixtape D-2. The track stands out for its intense emotions and the unique mix of Korean rap by SUGA and English vocals by MAX. It explores deep personal themes like breaking down, rebuilding oneself, and finding hope after going through hard times. Even five years after its release, Burn It still touches the hearts of many people around the world, proving how meaningful and long-lasting the song is.
With this achievement, SUGA now has 14 songs that have each passed 100 million streams on Spotify, with 12 of them being solo tracks. This gives him the title of Korean rapper with the most songs over 100 million streams. Some of these include Daechwita, Eight with IU, That That with PSY, Blueberry Eyes with MAX, and Lilith with Halsey. Burn It joins this impressive list as another example of his powerful music.
For fans, this isn’t just about numbers. Burn It represents a deeper part of SUGA’s artistic identity. The song reflects his inner struggles, the battle between darkness and light, and the honesty he brings into his music. Fans have been celebrating this milestone online, sharing love for both the song and the emotions it brings.
This moment also builds more excitement, as SUGA is the last BTS member to complete military service. He enlisted on September 22, 2023, and due to his past shoulder surgery, he served through alternative civilian service instead of active duty. Other BTS members—Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—have already returned. Before leaving, SUGA gave fans his full solo album D-Day, the final part of the Agust D trilogy. Now, with his return just around the corner, fans are hoping for new music, performances, and maybe even a full BTS comeback in the near future.
