On April 21, BTS’s SUGA, also known as Agust D, dropped a rogue MV for “Haegeum,” the title track from his latest solo album ‘D-Day.’
“Haegeum (解禁)” means “to lift a ban” on something, and the song evoked memories of a period in Korean history when numerous popular songs were banned by an authoritarian government. In the same sense, Agust D plays the dual roles of a rogue misfit of society and a cold-blooded police chief hunting down lawbreakers, in his moody, dramatized MV.
The new music video has captivated audiences worldwide. The music video for his song “Haegeum (解禁)” has received high praise for its storytelling and for showcasing SUGA’s acting skills. SUGA depicts two characters: a rogue misfit and a cold-blooded leader of an organization. The moody and stylized visuals add a dark and dramatic tone to the music video, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the song.
The music video is being well-received, and many netizens have gathered in popular online communities to praise SUGA.
Netizens commented, “The song is good and I like the music video,” “Why doesn’t SUGA act? he’s so good!” “He killed the yellow-haired Agust D in Daechwita and now he killed the Agust D that killed that yellow-haired Agust D, lol,” “He’s so good at acting,” “This music video is very Netflix drama style, I like it,” and “This is so crazy. He really doesn’t want to be an actor? This is so awesome.”
Other talented fans even created movie posters of the music video as they praised SUGA’s acting skills are good enough to be in a movie.
