Suga Reveals BTS’ ‘Tear’ Was Written Amid Thoughts of Breaking Up: ‘We Were Like, ‘We Can’t DoThis”

EP.18 SUGA with V

BTS’ V Reflects on His ‘Severe’ Burnout in 2018: ‘It Was the Toughest Time of My Life…

“We almost didn’t release ‘Fake Love,’ right?” V asked Suga.

“We were like, ‘We can’t do this.’ As we wrote ‘Tear’ [we thought], ‘We have to write a song like this … let’s write a song for our members.’ On the outside, ‘Tear’ is about a breakup between lovers, but actually ‘Tear’ was a message to the members [who considered disbanding],” Suga revealed.

He continued, “As we worked on the Love Yourself: Answer album, we were talking through contract renewals, then — as Namjoon [RM], J-Hope and I were writing ‘Tear’ — we sent a long text saying ‘Love you guys’ to you and Jung Kook.”

V recalled the sweet message and said it gave him and Jung Kook a push in the right direction. “After seeing that, Jung Kook and I found the will to continue. We got to think positively,” he added.
