Suga will be the first BTS member to go on a world tour as solo artist Agust D which will kick off in the United States in April 2023.

To recall, BTS’ Suga addresses himself as Agust D whenever he promotes as a soloist. The name, which was unveiled on the release of his debut mixtape in August 2016, is a combination of “Suga” spelled backwards and DT which refers to his hometown in Daegu Town, in South Korea.

The BTS member revealed the dates and cities of his upcoming world tour on his personal Instagram page on Tuesday night, Feb. 14, as well as the official Twitter account of his label Big Hit Music.

Suga’s tour will kick off at the UBS Arena in New York in the U.S. this coming April, and it also includes stops in South Korea and Japan, as well as Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore.

Following the announcement, the hashtag #SUGA_AgustD_TOUR has been trending on Twitter with over 662,000 tweets, as of this writing.

While it’s unknown whether Suga will be adding additional stops on his upcoming solo tour, many fans hope that more cities and dates will be added — including in the Philippines.

BTS fan account @OnlyBangtanPH said it has been years since Suga, as well as BTS, met their Filipino fans in 2017.

Twitter user @my7_stars hoped that the Philippines would be added as one of the stops for Suga’s tour. “It only takes about 4 hours 13 minutes from Seoul to Manila, Philippines and yes we want a tour too, please,” they added.

Meanwhile, one @eleofg said the Philippines “deserves” to see a glimpse of Suga in person.

Fan account @OnlyBangtanPH echoed @eleofg’s statement, noting that the Philippines is the second country with the largest number of streams for the seven-member supergroup.

Another @parkcalico_ laid out the reasons why Suga needs to meet his Filipino fans, saying they are “passionate” about singing and rapping during concerts.

Born as Min Yoon-gi, Suga debuted as the lead rapper of BTS in June 2013. He has also produced a number of tracks for the boy group’s discography and a number of Korean artists including “Gangnam Style” singer Psy through the years.

Apart from his debut mixtape, the BTS member has made a name for himself as a solo artist through his hit songs “Daechwita”, “Moonlight”, and “Interlude: Set Me Free”. EDV
