BTS's Suga added another solo song music video with 100 million views.
The music video for Haegum, the title track of Suga's solo album D-Day, released in April 2023 under the name Agust D, surpassed 100 million views on HYBE (chairman Bang Si-hyuk) Labels' YouTube channel at around 5:07 a.m. on the 14th. With this, Suga now has three 100 million-view music videos: the title track Agust D from the mixtape released as Agust D, the title track Daechwita from D-2, and Haegum.
Haegum is a hip-hop track that uses the sound of the traditional Korean instrument haegum. Through the double meaning of the traditional instrument haegum (奚琴) and haegum (解禁), which means "lifting a ban," it raises the theme of "freedom." The music video stands out for its noir-like atmosphere, tightly woven story and tense elements. The confrontation between the characters Being and Exister and the dramatic twist leave a strong impression.
Meanwhile, D-Day is the final album in the Agust D trilogy, following Agust D and D-2. Agust D handled the writing, composition and production of all the tracks on this album, which centers on the theme of "liberation." From planning D-Day to concept and structure, he led the entire project and showcased his own musical world. This album, which embodies Agust D's identity, entered the U.S. Billboard main album chart Billboard 200 at No. 2 on the May 6, 2023, chart.
