Army (the name for the BTS fandom) praised member of the K-Pop phenomena, Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, for his new solo-mixtape 'D-2' along with the MV for the lead song 'Daechwita', which was released on 22 May, a full four years after the singer's solo debut as alias Agust D in 2016.
Fans also noticed two other BTS members on screen - Jin and Jungkookn - who made a several second cameo in the MV.

Also fans liked the lyrics on the mixtape with its positive message about self-esteem and self-determination. BTS is known for their lyrics in songs about such things and many fans find comfort in their songs.

The topic of the new release became hot also because some K-pop fans found a resemblance between the outfits of Suga and another famous rapper, Mino, from the boy band Winner who, according to some fans, wore pretty much the same costume in his MV 'Fiance' released back in 2018.
This sparked controversy between Army and IC's (short for Inner Circle - the name of the Winner's fandom):

Look at #BTS fans being mad because people pointed the similarity between #minonin fiance and #SUGA and they are acting so shameful and law twisting mino lyrics and talking about his old issue and even the one they invented

백정/baek jung/ is the lowest class (even lower than slave) in Joseon. It's said that they were originally nomads from the north who settled in Joseon. Not all but most Baekjungs were butchers so in modern days, we usually think Baekjung = butchers. https://t.co/bpj79dXg8V pic.twitter.com/NqrIkQCHNg

/Gon ryong po/ is one of King's attires. It has 5 🐉 embroidered on shoulders & chest. Red, navy, gold, green, colors were varied depending on eras.
King Gwanghae (inspired in the lyrics & MV) wore black & navy. Yoongi is wearing a fusion style of it. https://t.co/C7XyXroK7m pic.twitter.com/AxjeKGuPcE
