D-2 explores new vocal ground (he’s previously said he’s working on his singing) and pushes what he himself can produce. In 2016, BTS rapper and producer SUGA watched his group make the leap from emerging K-pop stars to global supernova. The lead single “Daechwita” is a cross-cultural mosh pit of traditional Korean music and trap, highlighted by Agust D’s nimble rhymes and explosive chants. Suga's surprise solo mixtape "D-2," under the name Agust D, is a welcome arrival for BTS fans as the K-pop group is on pause for COVID-19. If Suga is a king, his gospel on D-2 comes down to these lyrics, translated by various interpreters as: “If you get hurt, what about it?” Channel the pain, or set it free, or use it for money, or use it for growth, or don’t. 26 after its release in October 2018. Find the way to keep going. In “Dear My Friend,” he rap-sings à la “Trivia: Seesaw” alongside Korean artist Kim Jong Wan of NELL (who he said was one of his idols growing up, and who also collaborated with RM); the piano approach lends itself easily to a heavy rehashing of painful history. “Here’s my reality check, there’s nowhere higher.” He echoes the themes in “Shadow” and in older BTS track “No More Dream” (which also gets a check in D-2 diss track “What do you think?”) about wanting wealth and the trappings of it, and that simultaneous revulsion at what it produces.

I could do that back then, but I can’t rap like that now,” he said in the official mixtape interview.

As one fan on Twitter astutely mused this week, “BTS love adding a trap beat to their sadness.” It was a reference to BTS’s “Outro: Tear,” a song that Yoongi explained in Break the Silence episode six was actually written for the members when they were contemplating disbandment. Want more from Teen Vogue? 63 and rising to No. But instead of showing off his sourdough-bread-baking skills on IG, SUGA used quarantine to revive his Agust D alias and put out a mixtape follow-up, D-2. In a way, it was a creative silver lining. In 2019, BTS was the top-grossing touring group of the year; In 2020, they released the reflective, journey-spanning Map of the Soul: 7, an album that looked back on their history as much as it set the pacing for their future. And he released D-2, the follow-up mixtape to 2016’s Agust D. D-2’s 10 songs contrast intentionally with Agust D on a pure sonic level: “I went too hard before. “Kim Jong Wan of NELL was my idol when I was young,” he says. He appreciates the contrast, after all. The title track “Daechwita” also ranked on the Official Singles Chart” at No. Prior to RM, J-Hope’s 2018 mixtape “Hope World” had the record, debuting at No. “I always like my music to make a contrast,” Suga said in a Big Hit Entertainment promotional video. On June 1 (local time), the official Billboard Charts Twitter account revealed that “D-2” had debuted at No.

It’s a collection of emotions, ideas, and sounds he’s absorbed from the past four years. The ultimate embodiment of that is in D-2’s strongest track: “People.” The song features a winding, up-and-down marimba-type melody that creates a trapped, relentless loop for him to sing over. Suga’s “D-2” also set a record on the United Kingdom’s Official Albums Chart, debuting at No. The genre of songs about fame is an especially interesting one, because on the surface, they shouldn’t be relatable at all. “I wanted clothes clothes, then money money, then goal goal, now what’s next,” he stutter-raps out in Korean on “Daechwita,” per the official YouTube translation of the song. If Agust D is about wanting, D-2 is about getting, and there’s more restraint even in the lyrics that talk about how much he’s gained. He’s won over the peasant executioner, who slices through the ropes in time for Agust D to rise up, remove his blindfold, and kill the sword-wielding king with a gun. BTS member Suga’s solo mixtape “D-2” has set a new record on the Billboard 200! The latter is especially meaningful. He painted as millions of people looked on.

He’s undeterred from exploring the more difficult parts of living for everyone, and also giving his own hardship and grief the context of power. Teen Vogue covers the latest in celebrity news, politics, fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and entertainment. Make it a song. Britney Spears’s “Piece of Me,” for example, recalls a very specific circumstance of being the living embodiment of an American ideal, a product, something to consume. Yoongi, Suga, Agust D, BTS — they’re all in procession now, walking through admirers and haters alike, among and above the millions of people they influence. “I think it depends on the perspective, but is it possible to view these separately?” he tells Apple Music. BTS postponed their tour, and a slate of new songs made for electric live shows were instead performed televised to empty venues or not at all. Editors’ Notes

Suga’s own fame-centric work unpacks the dualities of being powerful and losing your underdog status, of rebelling against a machine and also profiting from it. 38.

Agust D was about his past, Suga explained, but D-2 is about what the 27-year-old’s life (28 in Korean age) is like now. Do all of those things and then lay down in the middle of the paradox. He became DJ Shup-D on BTS’s live radio show Kkul FM, giving updates on his work and doing dramatic readings of Korean folktales.

“Regardless of who I am, whether it be SUGA or Agust D, I’ll keep moving towards the essence of life.”Such a Zen attitude is necessary in 2020, a year when BTS released its most popular album to date (MAP OF THE SOUL : 7) and was about to embark on a victory lap/world tour before COVID-19 shut everything down. Despite everything going on in the world, Agust D, aka SUGA, aka Min Yoon-gi, is specific about the energy he wants to put out into the world.

He’s merciless, arresting a young black-haired rebel in modern designer garb (Agust D) who uses his capture for access.

Editors’ Notes So much can change in four years. To revisit this article, select My⁠ ⁠Account, then View saved stories. Min Yoon-gi was born on March 9, 1993 in Daegu, South Korea. He became interested in rap after hearing "Reggae Muffin" by Stony Skunk, stating that it was different from anything he had ever heard before. “In general, I’ve loosened up, and it’s not a bad feeling.”. The young person’s guide to conquering (and saving) the world. He quotes the Joker’s best line, “Mmm why so serious?” before turning internal, “I’m so serious.” With soaring back-up ad-libs from frequent collaborator Adora, he turns over the idea of ordinary and extraordinary and the crucial difference in perspective; he builds a maze of a song and then steamrolls through it.

“It’s a documentation of myself as a 28-year-old,” he says. After hearing Epik High, he decided to become a rapper. Release it for free. Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” Taylor Swift’s “The Lucky One.” The songs are about being watched, about having this thing you love turned into something else. “Conflict, war, or if not those, survival is inserted inside/A life you can’t reject/Capital, as collateral for dreaming, injects the morphine of hope,” per translation from Wisha/Do You, Bangtan.

They have a worldwide ARMY of fans going to bat for them, but they’re slowly cementing themselves with general audiences too (despite a relative lack of western radio play). It’s most apparent on “Interlude: Set me free,” on which he sings the refrain in English to an ambient trip-hop backdrop of birds chirping.

Sign up for the Teen Vogue daily email. Under his rapper name Agust D, Suga released “D-2” on May 22 along with a music video for the title track “Daechwita.”. An amalgam of trap and moody rap, he tackled topics like depression and the pitfalls of success. With this achievement, Suga breaks the record for the highest ranking on the Billboard 200 by a Korean solo artist. Both trap beats and sadness are in limitless supply on D-2, but both are also sort of a trick: Suga refuses to be defined by genre, and he also refuses to be defined by sadness, or its frequent counterpart when talking about how he raps, anger. Seven years into a career together, the seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — have the resources and clout to do whatever they want, to work with whomever they want.

D-2 song “Strange,” his collab with RM, is a takedown of capitalism. Check this out: Agust D's “Daechwita” Music Video Is BTS Suga's Modern Take on Korean History. 68. The Billboard 200 is calculated based on physical album sales, streaming equivalent albums (streaming numbers converted into album sales numbers), and track equivalent albums (track download numbers converted into album sales numbers). Agust D is a record that demands, that wants — speedy, full, and brazen whether he’s bragging about his infamous tongue technology on “Give It to Me” or analyzing his own self-hatred on “The Last.” In the latter, per Doolset Bangtan’s translation, he gasps out, “Min Yoongi has already died (I killed him).”. The project’s collaborators include BTS ace RM (“Strange”), K-pop artist NiiHWA (“28”), American R&B singer MAX (“Burn It”), and Kim Jong Wan of Korean rock band NELL (“Dear my friend”). Lead single “Daechwita” received a historical epic of a music video, in which a scarred, blonde king traipses and tramples around his Joseon era kingdom. Suga said he listened to that older work while writing D-2, adjusting and improving upon it. “Serenity,” he says. It was a time during which I was able to learn, again, the meaning of the phrase ‘due to.’”D-2 shows off his love of hip-hop. For example, wearing a modern outfit in front of a traditional building.” The song’s title is the name of the traditional Korean genre of military music; as Suga explained in the interview, it’s played “when the king is in procession.”. The record was previously held by fellow BTS member RM’s “mono.” which debuted at No. All the members of BTS have documented their past few months with livestreams, cover songs, and selfies; but Suga has been perhaps the most active. Both the king and his challenger are played by Suga, whose real name is Min Yoongi. That song, and it’s subtle counterpart, Halsey collaboration “Suga’s Interlude,” hinted at what was to come on D-2: the reconciling that comes when your world suddenly gets very big and very small. In 2016, BTS rapper and producer SUGA watched his group make the leap from emerging K-pop stars to global supernova.
