yoongi was only a 17 years old teenager in high school when he composed and produced '518-062'. a song about gwangju during the democratization movement back in 1980 when people stood up and fought for their rights to live in a democratic society...
the meaning of the numbers 518-062 is the combination of the date of the gwangju democratization movement (5.18) and gwangju’s area code (062)
basically yoongi was a member of a hip hop crew/group named D-TOWN (he was under the name gloss back then) the song was meant for the gwangju's festival back in 2010 but it failed in the first preliminary round :(((( then, yoongi posted the song with a self made video in a ++
