As with many tours, several locations did not get a concert, leaving fans disappointed they would not be able to see the performance for themselves. However, it was announced in early March that the tour would be shown on the big screen, much to the fans’ excitement.

Suga | Agust D Tour ‘D-DAY’ The Movie is scheduled to hit theaters on April 13, and on March 12, HYBE shared more information about the screenings. In addition to the dates and times the movie would be shown, screening locations were added to the film’s website, showing an extensive list of countries and territories.

Usually, a huge variety of locations would be well-received; however, fans noticed that Israel was listed as a location, with two theaters showing up when using the search on the website.

Over the last few months, fans of HYBE groups have trended #HYBEDivestFromZionism in protest of the company showing intentional and unintentional support of Israel amid the human rights violations taking place in the Gaza Strip against Palestinians.

Attacks on civilians, forced starvation, and other atrocities have contributed to a death toll of over 31,000 since October 2023.

Efforts have targeted HYBE America CEO Scooter Braun, who has been criticized for promoting Zionism, including in inaccurate and Islamophobic ways.

Netizens have expressed their disappointment in the company over the movie-showing locations, slamming HYBE for “prioritizing profit.”
