With quite an intriguing list of tracks and artists on BTS' SUGA's upcoming album, fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts about the same.

Fans go crazy over the tracklist for D-DAY, BTS' SUGA's first full-length studio album

Within minutes of the release of D-DAY's tracklist, fans took to social media to come up with theories about the concept and essence of each track. What visibly caught their eye was that BTS' SUGA was set to collaborate with a number of legendary idols. Fans took to the comments section of the official post to celebrate the fruition of their long-awaited wish, a 'SOPE' track, with j-hope and SUGA coming together for HUH?

Snooze, which will feature the pioneer of Japanese electronic music, Ryuichi Sakamoto, collaborating with Kim Woo-sung from the rock band The Rose, has piqued fans' curiosity the most. Since the artists specialize in different music genres, their collaboration naturally intrigued people.

Additionally, the last track that holds the same title as BTS' title track for their album, BE, also excited fans. While it will feature BTS' entire rap line, fans wonder whether this will be a completely new track or if it will be a demo of the earlier released track.

Given BTS' SUGA's interest in music, it came as no surprise that his title track referred to a traditional Korean musical instrument and was a song that he composed himself. This was also the instrument he used as one of the tunes that ran in the background of his solo track, Daechwita.

Finally, the tracks Amygdala and Polar Night have also left a lingering impact on fans. Many think that the former has something to do with the neuroscientific term that refers to a part of the brain that deals with fear and threat-processing stimuli. They believe the latter deals with pitch darkness and possibly one's efforts to overcome the same.

Fans recognize the effort that BTS' SUGA has put into the creation of his solo album, D-DAY, and are excited about its release on April 21 at 1 pm KST/ 9 pm ET.
