It was dreamy… 4- this was a view from my room… I just haaaaad to show it to you… Munnar has some of the most beautiful views for sure.” So please be there like you’re here with me. The tour comes as members of BTS pursue solo ventures while individuals fulfill South Korea’s mandatory military draft, and expectations are high that Suga will likely begin his service after the tour, joining already-enlisted members Jin and j-hope.Īs the night came towards an end, Suga closed with some comforting parting words to his fans: “I promise, I guarantee, I will come back. The crowd’s roar of approval make it clear that Suga was certainly more than okay. “I was quite worried before I came on stage today,” he shared. Seeing as this show was his solo debut as a live artist, Suga more than held his own physically, and even told the crowd he was a bit concerned about how his condition would hold up for a second night. It has the feel of an intimate dinner-theater performance, but elevated to an arena. While it has all the technical value of a typical BTS performance, Suga’s Agust D show is a bit different than what people may imagine from the first solo tour by a member of a record-breaking and hit-making boy band: he is in comfortable clothes, barely dances - though is bolstered by a great team of backup dancers - and at times dips below the stage’s view to sit in a lounge area, where he rests in an armchair and plays piano. But softer moments include a version of “Seesaw” he performs while strumming a guitar inlaid with traditional Korean mother of pearl patterns and covered with the signatures of the other BTS members, and a poignant memorial to late music icon Ryuichi Sakamoto ahead of “Snooze,” on which the two collaborated along with Woosung of Korean band the Rose.

Anger has shaped a lot of Agust D’s music, as relayed by the way boisterous, candid aggressiveness of songs shape most of the show, with his “Cyphers” and a run through of “UGH!,” “Ddaeng” and “HuH?!” especially to invigorate the crowd of ARMY. The setlist presents the BTS member off at his fieriest, oftentimes literally with roaring fire and firework pyrotechnics bolstering the most intense moments. “But from now, I want to tell my stories with less anger.”

“As you know, many of my solo songs are quite intense,” he declared to the crowd. The performance is almost an exorcism of sorts of all the tough times and harsh feelings, with the star declaring an end to the rage, even as he showcases it. The show’s title comes from Suga’s persona as a soloist, and arrives after he has declared the end of his Agust D trilogy with this month’s “D-Day” album, and the multiple aspects of who this individual is, was, and will be is the prevalent theme throughout the night.ĭo you face down your past by putting it on-screen and staring it down? Do you sacrifice it on a pyre for your present self to thrive? Do you relive it? Do you forget it? Suga spends the show exploring all these sides, with burning, raging energy and show of his musical and performance skills, honed through a career that began over a decade ago. Each segment has its own subtitle - Yunki “exists in memory,” while Suga is “lost in memory,” and Agust D is “the Chaser” - and with each set, K-pop star, hip-hop producer and citizen of the earth all come to the forefront, bookended by the incensed opening song “Haegum” and culminating in the very-fitting finale of “The Last,” for which Suga sits on stage and is captured from all angles on nine shots, portrayed as surveillance footage. The concert unveils itself like a noir musical.

Bts dreamy days
