But music was always his passion, and he continued producing despite his parents’ disapproval. At the age of 13, he began composing and learned how to use MIDI by then. Because of the poor condition of his family, he was forced to work, but he decided to go sell his music on the streets. However, it was extremely hard to sell music, and Yoongi was being scammed (people cheated him out of his money) for his music. He tried to buy a $2 bowl of noodles, he didn’t have enough money to take the bus home; often times, he had to choose between eating and taking the bus and even more often, went hungry.
Yoongi became part of the underground rapper team known as D-Town (Daegu Town) and took on the name Gloss. An iconic rap of his goes by the title 518–062, which signifies the issue that Gwangju's area code is 062 and 518 is the date of Gwangju Democratization movement.
