BTS’ Suga is the latest member of the K-pop superstars to release a solo album as he’ll release D-Day — under his previously used pseudonym Agust D — later this month.
Weeks before Suga embarks on his first-ever solo tour, Bighit Music announced the April 21 arrival of D-Day, the third-and-final release in a trilogy of Suga-as-Agust D’s music, following 2016’s Agust D and 2020’s D-2 mixtapes.
“SUGA took part in the overall songwriting and producing of the album,” Big Hit added, noting that D-Day marks Suga/Agust D’s first official (a.k.a. non-mixtape) album. D-Day’s first single is out Friday, April 7.
Less than a week after D-Day’s release, Sugawill become the firstBTSmember to embark on a solo tour, with a slate of dates scheduled around the world this spring, including a U.S. run. (The tour is notably billed under bothSuga’s own name as well as Agust D.)
The trek will kick off with two shows at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York on April 26 and 27. Suga will then play one show in Newark, New Jersey, three in Rosemont, Illinois, and three at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. The U.S. leg wraps with two gigs in Oakland on May 16 and 17.
