BTS' SUGA is back in Asia after setting extending his record for the highest grossing concerts by a K-pop solo artist in the States with the US leg of his D-DAY World Tour.
The story of Agust D: How BTS' SUGA concludes a chapter of searching and healing in 'D-DAY' — album review
To kick off the Asian leg, SUGA, who is also performing as Agust D, played three sold-out shows in Jakarta to 30,000 fans throughout the weekend. The shows marks the return of the 'Haegum' act, who last visited the city with the rest of the BTS members for their Wings Tour in 2017.

Fans (who called themselves IndoMys) and SUGA were ecstatic to see each other, giving and returning the love with every interaction. SUGA exclaimed "Long time no see, Jakarta!" as he took to the stage and introduced himself in his many solo personas – "Hello, happy to meet u guys! I’m SUGA... or Agust D... or Yoongi".

SUGA, despite nursing a cough, gave it his all and powered through all three nights of the sold-out concerts.
"long time no see jakarta!"

Aside from the SUGA crew, SUGA, and IndoMys, the venue and merch staff also joined in the fun. The staff were reportedly very friendly and welcoming to fans, making sure they were assisted accordingly, helping out the audience when they can. In video clips, the staff can be seen waving fans goodbye and singing along with them.
