BTS Suga's 'Daechwita' Music Video Surpasses 400 Million Views
Mixtape 'D-2' Title Track Highlights Suga's Dual Role Acting and Sword Dance Performance
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The music video for BTS member Suga's solo track "Daechwita" has surpassed 400 million views on YouTube.
On the 5th, Big Hit Music announced that the "Daechwita" music video exceeded 400 million views around 11:30 PM the previous day.
"Daechwita" is the title track from the mixtape "D-2," released in May 2020 under Suga's stage name Agust D. The song features a unique atmosphere by blending trap beats with traditional Korean instruments such as the taepyeongso and kkwaenggwari, and it notably samples the traditional military music Daechwita (大吹打). Suga's powerful rapping, likening himself to a "tiger," is also impressive.
The "Daechwita" music video showcases Suga's dual roles set against the backdrop of Korean traditional beauty, including palaces and marketplace streets. The grand scale and Suga's geommu (sword dance) made it a hot topic upon release.
