In Short
- D-Day by Agust D (Suga of BTS) is out.
- A new music video for the song, amydgala, has also released.
- The music video is perhaps one of the most honest declaration of struggle by any artist in pop world.
By Bhavna AgarwalSuga of BTS, also known as Agust D, released the music video for his song, Amygdala, on April 25 KST. The song is a part of his recently released album, D-Day. To say that D-Day is one of the most honest confession albums by a K-pop artist would be an understatement. It is a well known fact amongst fans (ARMY) about the struggles Suga of BTS had to endure, not just internal but also external, to become what he is today.
AGUST D’S AMYDGALA IS OUT
While Haegeum, the title track from D-Day, is about seeking liberation/freedom from anything and everything that is considered a taboo or is banned, Amygdala is about internal struggle. Suga uses chapters from his life, the real story, to pen a song as heartbreaking and cathartic as this one. The music video shows Suga hurt and hopelessly lying on a sofa as he waits for the amygdala to rescue/save him. There is a trigger warning and viewer discretion pop-up that appears before the music video begins.

The amygdala is the nerve in the brain responsible for triggering emotions of fear and anger. The idol has not held himself back from showing the decisions he made during that phase in his life, including the time when he indulged in self-hurt.
Amygdala stirs several emotions in listeners and is a true tear-jerker. Suga mentioned that D-Day marks the end of his trilogy with Agust D. The scar that appeared fresh in his first mixtape (2016) has now healed, marking the end of his moniker, which was created for Suga to show his true self.
ABOUT D-DAY
D-Day has seen Suga experiment with various genres and music throughout. From using traditional Korean beats to modern R&B and R&B drill beats, Agust D has surpassed all expectations.
Suga will follow this up with his first solo tour starting with Seoul, South Korea. He also has fan events lined up, where he will meet ARMY in-person. As part of his tour, Suga will also visit America, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
