'Suga' (BTS) - “Haegeum” (solo album “D-Day”)
'Suga' (BTS) released his first
official solo album, “D-Day” on Friday under his soloist name, 'Agust D'.
“D-Day” comprises 10 tracks, including
lead track “Haegeum”, “People Pt. 2 (feat. IU)", the titular “D-Day”,
“HUH?!”, “Amygdala”, “SDL”, “Polar Night”, “Interlude: Dawn”, “Snooze” and
“Life Goes On”.
The full-length album comes seven
years after 'Suga' began his solo career with his first mixtape, “Agust D” in
August 2016.
“My first solo album ‘D-Day’ marks the
concluding chapter of the ‘Agust D’. It’s filled with my honest thoughts and
melodies".
'Suga' took part in the album from its
concept to composition and writing the lyrics of all its tracks.
In “Haegeum,” 'Suga' again used the
sounds of traditional Korean musical instrument.
He had used the sound of the string
instrument in “Daechwita” from the mixtape “D-2” as well.
“Haegeum" has a double meaning:
the name of the instrument itself and also to release forbidden things. 'Suga'
threw out the topic of “freedom” at people who live under various restrictions
and limits in their daily lives and society. And in the track's corresponding
music video, 'Suga' plays two different roles at the same time.
The two characters (“Being” and
“Exister”) fight in the music video.
‘Suga’ plans to go on his first
individual world tour starting with ‘Belmont Park’ in San Diego from April 26-27,
which will also take him to other cities in the United States, Indonesia,
Thailand, Singapore, Korea and Japan.
'Suga' is the first among the seven of BTS to go on a solo world tour. It will likely be his last activity before he starts his mandatory military service.
