Suga of BTS


All clues lead to Suga of BTS as fans speculate on Twitter that the rapper is making a mixtape comeback.

It all started on May 17, around midnight, when Korean entertainment agency, Big Hit Entertainment, revealed a black and white photo with the words “D-7.”

And Korean boy group BTS also retweeted the post.

As the days went by, details of a mysterious figure become clearer but there was still some uncertainty about which BTS member was featured in the image.

Well now, it seems that people need not speculate anymore because as of the early morning of May 22, ARMY noticed that the Apple profile photo of Agust D, better known as BTS member Suga, has been updated.

Clearly, the photo matches the figure in the teaser photos.

Naturally, the hashtag “#AGUSTD2ISCOMING” quickly grabbed the number one spot in Twitter's worldwide trends along with other related topics like, “#YOONGICULT,” “Min Yoongi,” “Suga,” and “Tony Montana,” as fans reacted to the new clue confirming Suga's second mixtape.

Here are some hilarious reactions:

To differentiate this alter ego and that of Suga, he derived the name from the initials DT, short for his birthplace, Daegu Town, and Suga spelled backward.

It was on August 15, 2016, when Suga first released his first mixtape as South Korean rapper Agust D. The final cut comprises of ten tracks on SoundCloud and eight tracks on other streaming and download services.

Compared to BTS' K-pop sound, critics have viewed Agust D as a complete 180 as it features a hardcore rap style highlighting Suga's underground influences like Stony Skunk and Epik High.

In an interview with Grazia Korea, he mentioned his desire to release songs through mixtapes as a way to produce music without considering popular appeal or ranking.

He told the interviewer, “When it comes to albums, I always feel like I'm trapped into something. Plus, I feel like I have to be on the Melon charts because the company will be promoting it.

“Since I did the music I wanted to do, I just wanted people to listen to it. People who don't listen to it won't listen for the first 30 seconds anyway so you don't have to advertise it to many people.

“So I didn't release an album, it's cool that way. Plus, it's free!”

Meanwhile, BTS have been working on their next album and have been freely sharing the process with their fans through broadcasts.

For their seventh debut anniversary, on June 13, they'll be performing an online concert titled “Bang Bang Con The Live.”
