He also interacts with artists across the world while traveling to different cities and experiencing different cultures. Additionally, the docu-film will also include live clips while showcasing the music and album completion process.
“My solo documentary SUGA: Road to D-DAY will be released all over the world on April 21st on Disney+. It contains the story of me preparing my first solo album, and my journey to find my dream”
ARMYs have taken to social media to react to the exciting new docu-film series featuring the Agust-D rapper.
Disney Plus also shared their excitement about having the BTS rapper onboard for his new docu-film:
The upcoming documentary will follow Suga as he travels around the world from Seoul to Tokyo, Las Vegas and beyond in search of musical inspiration for his upcoming album ‘D-Day.’ Throughout the documentary, viewers will see the star at his most vulnerable, as he discusses his writer’s block with other musicians, and delves deep into his most traumatic memories to pen lyrics for several of his latest songs.
Notably, he is the second member of the group after J-hope to have his own solo docu-film. In February this year, J-hope released his solo docu-film J-hope In The Box, documenting his journey of creating his debut solo album Jack in the Box.
The Agust-D rapper is the fifth member of the group to release his debut solo album after J-hope’s Jack in the Box, Jin’s The Astronaut, RM’s Indigo, and Jimin’s FACE. Titled D-DAY, this is his first solo album since previously releasing two mixtapes, AGUST-D in 2016 under the moniker Agust-D and the continuation of it in the form of D-2 in 2020.
D-DAY will mark the final installment of the AGUST-D trilogy and aims to portray an intimate, personal, and in-depth portrayal of the BTS rapper’s life as an artist.
He will release the pre-release track People Pt.2 featuring IU on April 7, Friday. It is a continuation of his song People from AGUST-D, his debut solo mixtape of the same name, and it also marks his second collaboration with IU since the song Eight in 2020.
Additionally, he will participate in various fan activities like video fan meetings and autographed poster events leading up to the release of D-DAY.
