BTS rapper Suga met with Korean fans in a small meet and greet in Seoul on Saturday, after finishing his first solo U.S. tour earlier this month.

In the event titled, "Agust D 'D-DAY: Movie Night,'" the rapper premiered the music videos for his latest solo releases "Hageum" and "People" featuring singer IU and shared his thoughts with the audience in a session befitting its title.

"D-DAY" is the title of his latest solo album released on April 21. Agust D is his alter stage name he has been using to release solo music other than his work for BTS.

The rapper also read letters written by fans and gave out presents in a surprise lucky draw session prepared for visitors.

"Thank you [fan club] ARMY for being here tonight," he said. "It's great to have seen you during the tour and I feel so happy to talk to you so up close. I hope you go back with only good memories."

The boy band member recently completed the U.S. leg of his first solo world tour, "D-DAY," attracting some 155,000 fans to concert halls in the North American country.

Suga kicked off his "SUGA | Agust D-DAY Tour" at UBS Arena in New York on April 26 and 27. He went on to perform at Prudential Center in New Jersey on April 29, Allstate Arena in Illinois on May 3, 5 and 6, Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 10, 11 and 14 and Oakland Arena in California on May 16 and 17.

Suga performed tracks from his album "D-DAY," which he released this April, namely "Haegeum" and "People Pt.2," along with solo tracks from BTS' 2020 album "Map of the Soul: 7" and song from his previous albums.

He also hosted guest performers at his concerts, including American singer and actor MAX on May 11 and singer Halsey on May 14.

Suga will continue his world tour in Jakarta, Bangkok and Singapore before concluding it in Seoul on June 24 and 25 at the Seoul Jamsil Arena in southern Seoul.
