May 2 (UPI) -- South Korean singer and rapper Suga took to the stage on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

The 30-year-old K-pop star, a member of the boy band BTS, performed his song "Haegeum" during Monday's episode of the NBC late-night show.

"Haegeum" appears on Suga's debut studio album, D-Day. The singer released the album and a music video for "Haegeum" under the name Agust D in April.

In the interview, Suga thanked BTS' fan base, known as Army, for their support.

"I'm in the middle of a tour, so I'm a little bit lost, so I wasn't able to see all of the results, but I'm glad ARMY is loving my music," he said.

The singer also explained the meaning behind the album title D-Day, saying, "I named this album D-Day to liberate myself from all the shackles in my life."

Suga and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon also played a game of Imposter Challenge where they tasted identical-looking foods, one of which tasted bad. Both Suga and Fallon tried to convince the audience that they had the food that tasted good.
