BTS - BAEPSAE (뱁새 / Crow Tit) Explained by a Korean REACTION

[@jessicapierce3027]

BTS is the type of group that can be enjoyed in layers. If you like fun pop tracks that's fine but I really feel that people miss out on the essence of BTS if they aren't diving into the lyrics and the intent behind them.

[@voldemortsnose9855]

i swear

[@imajinallthepurple]

The number of things the millenials have given up on is also what RM refers to in Dope: "Given up on 3? Given up on 5? How about...."

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Exactly. What he’s literally saying is “3posaedae? 5posaedae? Hmm, since I like the number six, how about 6posaedae?” which, just like this explanation video explains, means “the generation that’s given up 3 things, the generation that’s given up 5 things, and the generation that’s given up 6 things.”

[@thisisrenren3657]

I still remember the moment I found out what that lyric meant because it like was my Epiphany moment understanding that BTS were deeper than I thought back in like 2016 or something

[@LilacLoveMaze0613]

“I forgot they were there” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 please that was so funny Yesss y’all should watch ‘UGH!’ Together and then follow it with the DKDKTV explanation too!! This was dope, Baepsae is a classiqué 😁

[@cynthiaperez2232]

totally agree

[@TheMamamarieke]

When the song or dance seems goofy, it’s very likely to be social commentary. Go Go is one of my favorites.

[@amberpearce710]

Fun fact: this song connects to Dope. During RM’s verse in Dope he talks about (sorry idk the exact wording from the top of my head), “giving up on 3 and giving up on 5,” which connects to the different terms that kept adding things the younger generation would give up. Hopefully this made sense. lol BTS has very deep lyrics…if people just want to enjoy the music without looking up the lyrics and taking the time to understand them that is fine, however people are missing a HUGE part of BTS’s music… RM during one of his vlive’s talks about, “how lyrics are important and are written for us to read”…he talks about, “how of course how it sounds and the beat is important but aren’t the lyrics, just as or even more important? (Paraphrased)”. I honestly couldn’t agree more with him.

[@hallahalla0613]

Is it just me or have yall also ever thought that the hip thrusts in the choreo means "fuck you" to the storks (older generation)?

[@Angelwitch99]

Honestly, given the context of the song it would make since that they are at least there to emphasize that point if not convey it directly.

[@thisisrenren3657]

My in-laws kept saying they didn't understand why we couldn't make car payments and phone payments occasionally despite the fact that we both worked full-time so we just sent them are budgeting spreadsheet it had both of our incomes and pretty detailed tracking of all of our spending. They were shocked. I think they were expecting to see that we were way over spending on alcohol or Vacations or partying or something but our biggest expense was groceries aside from rent and car payments. They stopped bringing it up

[@Maraaha55]

Thank you - I always enjoy you both! I'm 66 and this means I'm a child of the 60s and the whole student protest movement, multiple economic depressions, and huge levels of unemployment in the UK. I loved early rap, but went off it when it became a different animal. But you can well imagine that this side of BTS is MINE. I don't know how many people realise that BTS' ongoing message is perhaps even more "revolutionary" than this. Korea (and probably Asia) is a very very conformist society : the even idea that ANYone should "love yourself" and afford your self more value than those voices telling you what to think, be, and do is incredibly powerful and subversive - and I think this is true wherever we are.

[@jacquereid9958]

It is so fun to see people start to figure out how deep BTS really is and what they are saying. You guys are so fun and your journey is crazy fun! 💜 thank you for digging in 💜💜

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

And as an actor and artist, I can't tell you how many times people have not wanted to pay me for my art and said its good exposure and experience. Like the song says "This is not normal" I think that is why this song means so much to me. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Thanks for checking out the explanation.

[@grace.aquino]

This is a beautiful satire! I love the playful beat and dancing to a very serious issue. Hip thrusts was definitely an ef you to the system and older generation..

[@twilightrhapsodist]

Y’all should react to am i wrong and the explanation of it! Another social issue track that almost got them in trouble. 😅

[@AngelaSealana]

I just turned 34, I'm a millennial and my husband and I are going to be moving in with his parents in a few months. This song is my anthem. Haha 😆

[@JamaicaDiamond24]

i'm 34 and i moved in with my mom and her boyfriend. its like i've given up on living alone. i'm tired of the struggle. this song just hits so hard lol.

[@yumedrm]

31 moved back with my mom lol

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

You know what this song about socio economic generational inequality needs to really emphasize the point? More hip thrusts! They are like the exclamation points in the FU part and honestly I and the whole fandom is here for it. BTS messages always hit a global frustration or relatable feeling. Beapsae unite!

[@fae-armyxbangtan613]

I of course came for BTS, but you guys are hilarious. Your intro was just fantastic 😂😂 Going to check out your other videos :)

[@goeienacht]

The bickering reminds me of me and my coworkers hahahah

[@Grrness]

"I forgot they were there" not even mad, that made me cackle lol x')

[@christinemarie1621]

"....instead of your booty look fine..." I almost spit my coffee!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ejoybangaoil7501]

Yep try to watch all bts song explained by the same channel, it's soo good.....

[@originalname530]

a more recent song that talks about social issues is ‘Go Go’. it’s very satirical

[@just_lil_g]

LUV how you're bringing Lucas along your journey into the BTS rabbit hole. Love you Jocus Lush ☺️💜🦋

[@ishtar990]

You are right those new to BTS look at the music video's and see hip hop or bop songs like butter or permission to dance and that is all they see. To be honest you really cant blame them that is a part of the normal music industry globally you dont know much about alot of the artists behind the scenes. Where as people are finding themselves both suprised and drawn to BTS because they have something to say and that in itself reaches out to people. So there is many aspects to BTS that people finding suprising. There is the BT Universe and the deep storyline. There is there charity work and army inspired charity support, there is the dance line, the rap line. The rap line itself has a very deep story to that as well, due to the fact that they were underground rappers in a idol industry where both were frowned upon. Underground rappers thought Kpop idols could not cut it and ones that changed from underground to kpop idols were sell outs. The idol rappers were frowned upon for not holding up to the normal beauty standards. So there is alot of conflict behind the scenes of what is going on within korea and within the music industry and that is why music storytelling is at its best with BTS.

[@arisol1011]

Hilarious duo right here. Love ur relationship and love BTS.

[@Love-Peace-Culture_KimGu.27]

Love yourself

[@thisisrenren3657]

Spending this whole video just saying "preach!"

[@pambarab5506]

Protest songs and social commentary disguised as a total bop. That's BTS' super power.

[@AngelaSealana]

Yup, this one and "Not Today" call on the baepsae imagery.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

@@AngelaSealana Dope also references the same ideas. I love when they make call backs in songs like that carrying ideas through.

[@7toheavan4ever54]

BANGTAN super Power!! Spine breaker, tomorrow, not today , N.O, No more Dream......and so many more 💜

[@pambarab5506]

@@7toheavan4ever54 Adding in Go Go and UGH. Let me have a cup of coffee, and I can add more. lol

Love your commentary and interaction with Lucas. Love from Kentucky

[@thisisrenren3657]

Most people: oh lol this boy band so superficial haha teenage girls like them I get it they're cute lol BTS: FIGHT THE SYSTEM! LOVE YOURSELF! DESTROY CAPITALISM! INVEST IN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!

[@BeaniRose]

I live in the U.S. and we have the millennial giving up because not having enough to live on and still date here. I am a happy spinster living at home with my dad, but my friends are having this problem though of having to find a small apartment, make enough to cover the cost of everything, and having the time to date. Lol the friendship between you and Lucus us great, it reminds me of hanging out with my friends when we can...the laughter, the annoyance, the fun. 😆

[@bunnykoo289]

Most importantly this song is referenced for Harvad university's law review

[@amberpearce710]

Really!? That is cool! How do you even know this. Lol

[@azkaabiyaamir4975]

Best reactions on KZbin these days 👌💜

[@dardarmissesv]

Make Lucas do more of this. You guys have a good tandem and have different perspective sometimes. Cool to hear both sides

[@rogel080274]

This was deep....! Kudus to your tandem! Because of your video, BTS will be much respected!!

[@mickieb7417]

Again making me laugh. This time in a public place. I am getting looks from fellow passengers waiting for a flight to board. Thanks and Happy New Year!

[@jenice7284]

Thank you SO much... It never fails, I always end up smiling, even on the worst of days, when I watch your videos. I hope you both have a fabulous new year. 💜💜💜💜

[@madpleasure]

Aw.. one of my favorite openings. I love you guys.

[@anmiro1555]

HI! A mi en ll particular a parte del ritmo que tiene esa cancion "Baepsae" es una de mis canciones favoritas ya que habla de la cruda realidad, competencia y presion de los padres y de la misma sociedad que existe en la juventud de Corea, es dificil para la mayoria de los jovenes alcanzar el exito y es por eso segun informacion que he leido en algunos videos muchos jovenes llegan hasta suicidarse, y me encanta esa cancion porque BTS piden cambiar esa situacion , y si no logras tu meta en ese momento no importa puedes lograrlo a tu ritmo y sin presion.

[@chim341]

you guys are the best ^^

9:30 I am 27 and when I was 23 I had to emigrate back to Mexico (I lived in Japan for a long time) due to the lack of economic stability (studied and worked three jobs, could barely afford an 11m^2 studio apartment and food) and mental health issues that were impossible to treat there due to the stigma and lack of support. I haven't been able to find a good job despite my qualifications and live in the same land as my family. It's been SO rough. SOME OF THE BEST SONGS FROM BTS THAT HAS A SOCIAL AND/OR POLITICAL COMMENTARY: - Bapsae (rich/poor, millennials/boomers) - Spring Day (Sewol Ferry Tragedy) - Am I wrong (political) - Paradise (mental health and race to success) - Spine Breaker (children breaking their parents backs just to be "trendy") - No more dream (debut song, your dream vs your parents' dream for you) - N.O. (rigid school system makjng mindless robots)

[@KimmyGibson]

If what I've read is true, in order to move out from your parent's home into an apartment, a young person would have had to save thousands and thousands of dollars for 'key' money as a down payment on an apartment, not just one or two months rent in advance like here in the states....we're talking THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS. The monthly rent isn't too unusual, but getting the key money is the problem and some landlords will ask later for additional key money plus raise the rent. How can they save that much money just for an apartment? How would they ever save money for a home? I guess this is why generations of families stay together. AND, not to be forgotten, living together or not, the younger people must continue to 'obey' the wishes of the older generations.... 'filial piety'. As much as I love learning about Korean culture/society....there are times when, even at 64, I am at odds with their 'practices' and can completely understand why they have such a high numbers of suicides. Thankfully BTS is speaking out against some of the 'norms' and how damaging they can be. A good example is the students on the Sewol being told to stay put ... and they obeyed :(

the hip thrusting now... is more like an F U to the people who talk down to their generation, its not even sexual. The one leg dance move, its to look like the birds I think

[@imjogijogi9267]

Its not just working more. In korea and Japan they work 6 days a week and if salary you may have to work 10 or 13 hrs a day ...so they give up on relationships or even dating because have no time. And how are they supposed to have kids..thats why they have the lowest birth rate. Plus they just added a new law about overtime making it worse.
