About this song

Released as a digital single on May 22, 2020, through Big Hit Entertainment, the song draws on traditional Korean storytelling and music. Its sound grew out of a wish to sample a real daechwita, a piece of traditional Korean military music, and pansori storytelling and kkwaenggwari percussion are audible in it. The music video, released the same day, was inspired by the 2012 film Masquerade and contrasts modern and traditional imagery.

What it's about

The video stages a story in which Agust D plays both a king and his double, with the king standing for his older self and the double for his new self. At the end the double turns on the executioner and kills the king.
