AceShowbiz - Suga, also known as August D, has finally released his debut album, "D-Day". To celebrate the moment, the BTS (Bangtan Boys) member treated fans to a music video for one of its tracks, "Haegeum".
Arriving on Friday, April 21, the visuals displays Suga portraying several characters. At one point, he becomes a police officer, while in some scenes he plays a gangster fighting his nemesis.
"This song's a haegeum, get on board now," the 30-year-old raps in the chorus, referring to the traditional Korean string instrument haegeum. "The lively rhythm, perhaps this could be a new kind of haegeum."
Suga's new album consists of 10 tracks in total. It features collaborations with his BTS bandmate J-hope on "HUH?!" as well as Woosung of The Rose and late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto on "Snooze". Prior to its release, Suga dropped "People Pt.2" ft. IU.
After releasing the lead single on April 7, Suga admitted that he was "actually a bit worried" about using his solo moniker again. " 'People Pt.2' was made thinking about how people will receive Agust D's music, which is why we also featured [his former collaborator] IU. It's kind of a trial to release this music under the name Agust D," he told Billboard.
"D-Day" will be followed by a solo documentary titled "Road to D-Day" and the April 26 start to his first-ever solo world tour. "This is my first time walking down this road," he explained of the tour in the trailer for the documentary. "I'm really excited right now."
"Whenever a concert ends, and I go in [and say] 'Ah, I'm tired.' No, like, it's my first time doing this in my life!" the emcee further gushed. "Even in Korea I've never done this before."
