The musician has a documentary coming, and its arrival at the same time as the album it partially chronicles is sure to make for excellent viewing for superfans who want to know everything they can about the man behind the
music and how it all came to be. SUGA: Road to D-DAY will be available on both Disney+ and Weverse on the same day as the album, April 21. The name of the documentary seems to have a double meaning. It focuses on Suga's journey in writing, producing and recording D-Day , while also showcasing his time traveling and being on the road. According to a statement shared by his label Big Hit, the movie "captures Suga on a musical journey following his road trip around the world" and "takes the viewers through the ins and outs of his creative process."
