Released under his alias Agust D the new track comes four years after his first mixtape.

Army (the name for the BTS fandom) praised member of the K-Pop phenomena, Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, for his new solo-mixtape 'D-2' along with the MV for the lead song 'Daechwita', which was released on 22 May, a full four years after the singer's solo debut as alias Agust D in 2016.

The release consists of 10 songs. The MV for the title song, with hard rap and strong beats, is done in Korean Joseon style. Suga wears different traditional outfits and plays two characters: a despotic ruler and a revolutionary. Spoiler alert: in the end the rebel kills the tyrant!

Fans also noticed two other BTS members on screen - Jin and Jungkookn - who made a several second cameo in the MV.
