BTS Suga’s One Demand For “Haegeum” Music Video That Was Non-negotiable
BTS member Suga recently did a Weverse live to share some behind stories of the making process of his new album D-Day.
Fans already knew that the rapper was very involved with the album’s production process, but the stories he shared during the livestream were indicative of just how meticulous he was with every single detail. He talked about how he came up with each of the ten tracks on the record and what was his intention behind it.
While reacting to the music video of “Haegeum,” the title track of D-Day, Suga shared some interesting tidbits about the filming process. He talked about why he decided to shoot the video in Thailand and how LE SSERAFIM indirectly played a role in it. He also confessed how hard it was to keep up with the country’s hot climate.

He also addressed a crucial point in the music video that ARMYs were already speculating about since the teaser came out. In the video’s opening scene, Agust D can be seen approaching a building with some of his gang members following behind. Fans noticed that he had exactly six more members in the frame with him. Though unsure, most took it as Suga alluding to his six other BTS members.
Suga, during the livestream, confirmed that it was an intentional move to have seven people in the frame together. It was a non-negotiable note from him to the creatives!
🐱 7 people
🐱 i told them we have to do it with 7 people no matter what pic.twitter.com/KnHPQRU0pJ— 슙짐 (@syubjim) April 25, 2023
Though it is not new to see BTS members symbolically include their group in their solo projects, many fans found this detail in “Haegeum” a bit more touching. They theorize that in the video, Suga is fighting his inner darkness that manifested itself in the form of Agust D, and to show that he had six other members beside him through the fight is a profoundly sentimental assertion of BTS’s bond.
not only "it had to be seven people no matter what" but the 6 people on yoongi's side both times in daechwita and haegeum are on the side of the agust d taking down the version of himself that strays from the core values he wants to keep upholding

"It had to be seven people"
For him to kill the version of him with the scar, to keep his anger and frustration in check, he needed his six people around him, the one's that always had his back :')pic.twitter.com/M1ZgV8VvXb— Nyoonberry⁷| property of Min Stabby🥢 (@nyoonberry) April 25, 2023
