REACTING TO DDAENG BY BTS

[@keumgold70]

I'd like to point out that the clothing they are wearing isn't kimono. Kimono is Japanese traditional clothing and as BTS are Korean, they are wearing modernized version of Korean traditional gowns for men with traditional hats. Korean traditional clothing is called 'Hanbok'.

[@maxkim7352]

Gold70 Thank you! Well said💜

[@crowpearl571]

Yes lol

[@NancyNinety9]

Isn’t it cool how well versed we have become with our vocabulary?!? That was the first thing that stuck for me too in this reaction. In my head I was telling DT: honey, that’s not a Kimono. Kimonos are Japanese. What the boys are wearing are Hanboks. ☺️ The more you know! 😆

[@lux3226]

Lol, the moment he said kimono, my first thought was "oh no, DT... it's a hanbok - they're gonna get you in comments..." xD To be fair, most people internationally know of kimonos, but aren't really familiar with hanboks unless they're into Korean culture. As a Korean, I appreciate you guys setting people straight about it in such a nice way. Borahae. 💜💜💜

[@angelam2057]

Haha.. kimono - this was the first thing that struck me as a NO NO DT! You didn't. 😳 But it's nice to see how many non-Koreans are making corrections on here. As a Korean-American.. I'm touched! Thanks all!

[@eddencheezee]

The part where RM is stuttering while rapping - he's basically making fun of people who at first insulted them when they were small then suddenly when BTS became big, they want to apologize and be all nice to them. They're calling out all the fakes in the companies and entertainment industry. He's making fun of how they apologize, stuttering and shit. RM's not even raising his voice in the song because he doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone, it’s like “I’ll just give you this real quick, don’t even worry about it” 😂😂

[@btspavedthewaythefact157]

true

[@bro-qt5oj]

Can you tell me what time he stuttered

[@eddencheezee]

@@bro-qt5oj Check the Ddaeng Lyrics, it started at 3:01

[@JustifiedkNot7077]

And the way Army stopped even wispering like shut up the leader is here 😂

[@amberespinoza8637]

I also thought it was a reference to those rappers who suck at rapping because in the next bit that’s what he talks about.

[@hananana1155]

RM stutter rap is everything.

[@angelahall5419]

I'm still amazing by it and the fact that he's whispering as is to say I don't need to raise my voice to make my point.

[@armystay3991]

Ikr like I listen it every time

[@lumenardens]

DKDK did a good job in explaining the korean word play, but still missed some parts. Like RM suddenly stuttering, where he is mocking other rappers or J-Hope's whole verse about others trying to figure out how to copy their success (which YG entertainment is especially known for.. and SM too.. they've actually been investing money to get to understand BTS' fame when it is obviously not a thing that can be copied) Yoongi's part is also about how no one believed in them, looked down on them, cut them out (of shows, concerts, etc) and how the boys got on top DESPITE all that

[@emj602]

[@hananana1155]

there was something else that was missing, namjoon stuttering rap is the hottest thing in the world, kbye.

[@st1010]

Yeah I was disappointed when he didn't mention abt the stuttering too 😔

[@54kitten]

They didn't particularly miss it, i believe they just didn't explain it on purpose, just like they did for their Beapsae lyric explanation.

[@-Manda_SKnight_BeastMoD]

Hey thank you for that!

[@huazhu345]

It’s not a kimono, it’s traditional Korean wear call hanbok 💜

[@bulletproofdreamers8541]

I don't know why everyone always assumes it's a kimono when they're korean artists and traditional kimonos don't even look like that.........

[@TheLittlelan]

Not his fault. Chinese Korean and Japanese culture do intertwine at some point

[@bulletproofdreamers8541]

@@TheLittlelan Just because Latino cultures share elements with Spanish culture does not mean they are the same. That applies here as well. It's quite ignorant to conflate them as such. No one is saying it's "his fault" but people should take a second to contemplate what they're saying and rethink thought processes ie. why they would automatically assume that an Asian wearing a robe like garment is wearing a kimono even though that is not from their culture.

Mr. Parker! As a Korean who understands the language, every time when I hear this song, it’s always impresses me! These 3 BTS rap liners are words geniuses with the class of their own! And YES! You are right about JHope ! Because of his street dancer background, when he is on stage, you can feel his strong street dancers energy! Thank you for this fun reaction video & looking forward to your next one! Be Happy & Healthy!!!

Hope you react to ddaeng live by vocal line at 5TH Muster too..its iconic

[@bri8057]

my favourite part of this song is definitely namjoon's verse. the explanation video doesn't mention it, but a lot of people have said that the part where he's stuttering refers to people in the industry who have hated on them in the past approaching them at award shows/music shows and nervously apologizing/trying to make small talk.

[@ph0_]

RM killed his verse! You need to understand & appreciate his verse! That was a fire verse 🔥 the stuttering & mocking while eating up that beat was everything! Best part of the song 💥

[@lobaetoile8440]

Even Korean people wouldn't understand all the wordplay in Ddaeng without studying the song and thinking hard... BTS really is making everyone learn and think and feel. Between their outstanding stage presence and their wide variety of talents and skills, lyricism/storytelling is, arguably, their most outstanding ability.

[@IzumiMandanado]

It's not a kimono, since kimono is Japanese. They're Korean, so they're in hanboks. Also, V casually crashing at their stage is one of my favorite moment of the Festa

[@kmh.1281]

I don't know WHY eventhough i already know about the meanings and messages inside bts songs and their genius lyrics and everything, it makes me awestruck every time i hear about them. Like this was the fourth ddeang video i watched and still I'm surprised like the first time.

[@enicole1203]

I say this almost every time I see someone react to this explained video. I really like the cultural aspects, but I feel like David missed the mark when it comes to his interpretation of 'frog in the well'. I think RM is not mocking other people for being stuck in KOREA, but for being stuck in a narrow mindset that prevents them from exploring new and different ways to do things, and that's why they'll never grow out of where they are professionally. RM is very proud of Korea so he wouldn't use it to mock someone. But he would roast people who always say "a rapper can't do this' or 'an idol singer can't do this' - that is a frog in the well mentality and because they are willing to look and expand beyond their boundaries, that's why they're the most successful and people who refuse to get out of their well will die in there.

[@raeward1605]

Wow, thank you. I would never have even watched this rap song, since I couldn't appreciate it at all. But thanks to you, (because I enjoy your reactions) I too, learned so much about Korean culture and their slang. Amazing rap of course that only RM, Suga, and Jhope could make so interesting. 👏👏👏👍👍👍💜💜💜

Each BTS song is like a Charles Dickens novel. Light on the outside but full of complexities, symbolism, allegories, and inner meaning. So much fun to jump into the rabbit hole of each song!

[@lancelotprice5520]

A lot of the lyrics are English, but pronounced in a clipped Korean way. In my opinion, the details of the card game are not all that important to deciphering the significance of the song. But the song is still very clever and blunt at the same time. Quite the achievement, Namjoon. I adore joonie.

[@sleepymeerkat0425]

Ddaeng can be type of said as - You are wrong or something. Sound used when you are wrong When we can't answer something than a Sound like Ddaeng!! Means you are wrong.

And I've spent a LOT of time following BTS on KZbin, Twitter and in the press and sometimes on Quora...

The Korean game, consisting of a deck of 48 flower cards, "Godori", is also called "Go-Stop". There's a game app in Google Play called "Minwhatu", where you can try to teach yourself the game while playing against an AI. There's probably something similar in the App Store for iOS. The game can get confusing and frustrating at times, but after a while, you'll get the hang of it.

[@user-yv7fn6xr2m]

The 'homework' reference was also about that particular frustrating time for BTS in Korea. They had recently exploded in popularity internationally and now, Korea was (finally) taking note of their group. But not in a praiseful manner rather *certain* entertainment companies launched think tanks and various groups who were supposed to work out what made them popular so that they could repeat if 'for the rise of the k-wave'. As an army who experienced this, it was frustrating to see BTS being put down so openly and publicly and this 'homework' reference can also refer to the fact that these groups can study and do the homework on BTS all they want but they can never replicate the band or the bond with us. This song was a true balm for for army and burn for haters! P.s this song was made for Festa which is a series of festival-like releases on the week of their debut. It occurs annually and is done to mainly cater to their own fans. And so this includes free song releases and covers and more. The songs are also done pretty last minute due to the middle of year timing of Festa which sort of comes in the middle of everything. And so, since this song was made and released within a VERY short time, its important to remember the context of the timeline and environment it was released in.
