Agust D Drops Moody Glitch Film For ‘D-Day’ Album Opening Track

Agust D is teasing at the darker side of his full album. BTS’ Suga unleashed a gritty ‘Glitch Film’ that reveals the opening track from ‘D-Day’. The video for the first track is moody and dark, which is a stark contrast to the smooth beats in the pre-release track “People Pt. 2 (feat. IU)”.

Agust D Teases ‘D-Day’ Opening Track In New ‘Glitch Film’

The HYBE LABELS YouTube channel uploaded the ‘D-Day’ Glitch Film which features footage from Agust D’s previous MVs. Suga expresses his thoughts over hums and clicks.

“Small flaws, glitches, my afterimage. Breaking down the wall between what I want to say and what I cannot say. Not getting intimidated but rebelling and raising questions against what the world demands. The world’s fixed stereotype collides with my inner self and leaves trauma for a while. But this temporary glitch transforms into the driving force to create a new wavelength and becomes a part of me,” the BTS rapper narrates.

The ‘Glitch Film’ might actually feature part of the opening track on ‘D-Day’ which shares the album’s name. ‘D-Day’ could open with an interlude that will immediately set the tone for the LP as it segues to the main track “Haegeum”.

Suga dropped the pre-release track “People Pt. 2 (Feat. IU)” ahead of the album release. The song has a lighter tone compared to previous Agust D tracks and it highlights IU’s sweet vocals perfectly. Both “People Pt. 2 (Feat. IU)” and “D-Day” are excellent tracks and ARMYs are already looking forward to the rest of the album next week.

‘D-Day’ will be released on April 21, 2023. The documentary ‘SUGA: Road to D-Day’ premieres on Disney+ and Weverse on the same day. The BTS rapper will then embark on his first world tour the following week.

‘Suga Agust D Tour’ kicks off in Belmont Park on April 26 followed by dates in Newark, Los Angeles, and Oakland.
