'D-Day' is Suga's first solo work in about three years since the mixtape 'D-2' released in May 2020.
With the new album, Suga completed the trilogy series following “Agust D’” in 2016 and “D-2.”
In addition to writing and composing the songs, Suga was also in-charge of producing the album, leading the overall album work from planning to concept, and composition.
For the album, he collaborated with various musicians including J-Hope, the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and Woosung of The Rose.
The main track “Haegeum” uses the sound of the Korean musical instrument of the same name. It is about people who are bound by various restrictions and limitations in everyday life and society.
The music video for “Haegeum” has also been released on YouTube and has garnered 3.6 million views in about four and a half hours.
Following the release of the album, Suga will embark on his "Suga | Agust D-Day Tour," starting on April 26 and 27 at UBS Arena in New York.
