SUGA GOES HAAAAARD! | Agust D "Agust D", "Daechwita" & "Haegeum" REACTION!

[@madi_stand]

BTS actually swear in their songs sometimes, although not much, but suga swear quite a lot in his solo stuff because that's how he prefers to express what he wants to get across and since they're so successful I'm pretty sure their company doesn't mind.

[@dotzkielabnao274]

Agust D... practically not Suga or Yoongi... 😂

[@sruuu3290]

Suga is actually a direct descendant of the Yeoheung Min clan (MIN yoongi) which is a royal powerful clan from the Joseon era. So he IS a royal descendant (four of his ancestral grandmothers were queens/empresses). The two people fighting at the back at the start of Daechwita MV is actually 2 members of BTS- Jin (the eldest) and Jungkook (the youngest) 😂

[@TrolltekOfficial]

That's wiiiiiiiiiiiiild! King Suga!

[@emmamcintyre6997]

Facts, and if Korea still had Emperors/Empresses ruling over them he would be next in line for the throne after his father. So he is indeed a King & a boss, even the other BTS members refer to him as King Min Yoongi (Jimin in particular has said this numerous times in clips over the years).

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

We call him a genius because he is so damn creative in his rapping, raw and honest in a way few artists really get, and he can create some fo the most unusual unique beats and complex songs. He’s so aggressive it’s ridiculous, I’d never want to piss him off and have him call me out because he absolutely will. RM mentions how long Suga holds a grudge over things done to BTS in the past. Also he takes complete control he is the producer, composer, does the keyboards, writes the lyrics, and writes the storyboards for his music videos. Having him, RM and JHope in a group isn’t fair they are 3 absolute top tier rappers that complement each other. They all are so over talented and hard working it’s no surprise where they are and they keep pushing the boundaries of creativity. These 3 show his skills off well and also his swag is unparalleled, king and boss. Who else in kpop will challenge the system by swearing smoking killing people violently and calling out the evils in society and using traditional Korean classical instruments. The MVs are loaded with symbolism and historical Easter eggs.

if you love rap, u choose perfect group. real hiphop. what i love about them, they dont make simple lyrics and wordplay. they always got me study their lyrics with many references 😭😭 and actually bts always write about many life issues since debut. you gonna love them. lyrics is their weapon

[@youthisreadwrong2274]

I absolutely agree with you. Bts is a K-pop’s rap powerhouse just cause of their rap line. And agust d is mad talented

[@Daisie8881]

The two members in the background if daechwita fighting are actually two members of BTS (Jin and Jungkook) 😂

[@TrolltekOfficial]

LOL

[@purpleskiesforever]

I love the behind the scenes where Jin tries to negotiate with Suga for longer screen time cause he sat in the makeup chair for so long getting the fake facial hair put on. Jin started with (jokingly) wanting 40 seconds screen time. He is too funny!😂😂

[@moonlightmoonchild1133]

6:36 btw that line is a reference to his verse in cypher pt.3 : "you know, my voice turns people on. doesn't matter - man or a woman, my tongue movements will send you to hong-kong" (google what that phrase means haha). he also called his rap skills "flowjob" in the same verse. iconic💅

[@febl76]

Suga was given artistic freedom and has talked about he was never limited by PDbang (his boss). The level of how much he is involved makes it's genius and how intelligent it's done and he is a master story teller

[@poppykopsidas3589]

Agust D is the persona that Suga created where he could voice what could not be said in BTS music. Although BTS addressed many issues that are more or less taboo in their society, Agust D is raw and real and not afraid to say what needs to be said. His tongue technology is what many people fall in love with. Agust D was written in response to all the hate he and RM got for leaving underground rap and becoming idols.

[@ruthfischer7615]

I'd more say that the music does not fit the concept work BTS has done since the beginning and that became only more elaborate over time. This is why they have mixtapes and solo songs on soundcloud (later also on Spotify). The music is very good but it does not fit the story BTS was "currently" telling: school, youth under hardship (HYYH), "coming of age" in literature (Wings is based on Hermann Hesse's Damian to be seen under the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the psychologist Carl Jung work), Self-Love and to "Love Yourself" you have to "Know Yourself": psychology aka "Map of the Soul" (standard book about Carl Jung's theories) + the pandemic album These stories went over multiple albums and had a natural flow into each other especially in the later years. There are more than just albums to a theme but a story that explains it. The songs ceased to stand purly on their own. It's a group project which is why certain members could not just drop as many songs as they wanted on those albums - but still perform some of the songs at concerts. You nice! Keep going! 💜

[@ShayForbidden]

They were breaking the rules of taboo on the stuff they spoke about way before they were big. I remember when the first Agust D mixtape came out and I listened to The Last, I was absolutedly gutted and stunned because it's one of the most raw songs on an artists personal stuggles with mental health I'd ever heard and they hadn't even won their first daesang (grand prize) in Korean yet let alone made it into the Western music scene. One of the reasons they became so deeply loved by fans, accumunalting a big international following, while still not being recognized for a long time within the Korean music awards scene was BECAUSE of what they were willing to speak about and the size of their company. Joke (the first RM song you reacted to) and Agust D were songs that were a risk but they were underground rappers being true to themselves regardless of whether they were an Idol or not. They were throwing their SKILLS in the faces of haters rather than a long list of achievements because that's what they'd done before and they just didn't have that list yet. I think one of the reasons they were able to keep true to themselves and not forget where they came from when they were succeful is because they risked so much refusing to give that up when it could have cost them their shot at success.

[@poppykopsidas3589]

Haegeum in this video has two meanings, the two-stringed instrument as well as the meaning of freedom of an oppression. All of Agust D music has real meaning and has a message in it.

[@СадиковаК]

' I wanna see this guy like main character in drama'....This one got me. He has really amazing acting skills♡

[@rinanazla]

Omg he is a rapper rapper!! I just saw him live in singapore and omfg hes incredible!!! Flew all the way from Melbourne. Went for day 2 and 3 and his showmanship is on another level. He went so hard! Vibe n energy are amazing! Consistent throughtout the show. Performed 23 freaking songs without fail!! These 3 songs he performed live and let me tell you, they soo much better live! He fast rapped live, growled and swore a lot hahahaha so hot! There should be a lot of concert fancam, i highly recommend watching it! 🔥🔥

[@magdalenejoanne9438]

Yes yes yes!! Sugapore!!! I was there on Day 1 :D

[@sagradadakristinecaballero]

LOL the two people fighting behind suga in daechwita mv were jungkook and jin, 2 of the bts members😂😂. Anw, loved the reaction!! Keep it up.

[@itsme_justjenny]

Because Suga and RM are originally underground rappers and Jhope is a hiphop dancer all before BTS. Suga as a kid hustled in the streets of Daegu, selling music & getting ripped off. He has a history to tell. RM and Suga got a lot of hate from other rappers telling them they sold out.

[@suebee0619]

I luckily got to see him live on his D Day tour. Your have no idea how cathartic it is to scream “A TO THE G TO THE U TO THE STD” with thousands of other people. Phenomenal concert with many amazing moments like that.

[@purpleskiesforever]

I liked your reaction. You really pay attention and know when to pause to make sure you understood something and when to go ahead and let the song ride out and then discuss later. I think you'll also be surprised with JHope's songs 'Arson' and 'More'. He typically has a 'happier' vibe in his solo music (even when dissing someone) but those two songs are from his album release last year and are much more intense. I really can't decide my favorite rapper of BTS since they are all so different in their flow and approach, but that's one of the many things that makes BTS the best band in the world.

[@TrolltekOfficial]

Appreciate it, glad you liked it!

[@Ihhhlbalq]

@@TrolltekOfficial I also think u choose check out arson and more it has like a rock and roll vibe but I like it so I'm looking forward to it when u start jhope

[@tessa_mae]

Suga is definitely no beating around the bush guy. I love his raw music , straightforward , direct , his bluntness , the lyrics hit hard speaki the raw truth( ex.his THE LAST so powerful and Suga's exposing his vulnerability yet so honest!) . Back in the days when BTS was just underdog and so many haters particularly those some underground rappers like B-free( oh my those demeaning interview of them for my boys was blood boling) who looked down Suga and RM , that's how Agust D was born . They deserved this kind of disstrack for them. Suga making his own beat in every song he has is awesome! Not only he is one of the best and fastest rapper in the industry but He is such a genius in making music. The only main producer among the 7 members and produces music not only for BTS but also to other arrists, songwriter, composer, lyricist, dancer, actor--the guy definitely can act based on his performance on his m/v. Whether what kind of songs he has , a topic of deppression , sad, relationship, dissing haters, spitting about tge real issue of tge society or whats going on in the world today ( ex. HAEGEUM) his liyrics is consistent and always deliver it with his feelings and emotions. THE LAST , FIRST LOVE of course DARCHWITA and AGUST D too , so raw and showing his pure emotion and and you can feel he is pouring his heart out these songs . And there's also his another masterpiece SHADOW. I just love his music , the reason he is my super and ultimate bias in rapline and Jungkook for tge vocal line. That's my preference. BUT EACH OF THE MEMBER HAS A LOT TO OFFER, EACH OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN CHARM .THEY ARE ALL MULTI -TALENTED, MOST OF ALL THEY ARE ALL HUMBLE, GENEROUS AND VERY CHARITABLE GROUP , THEY NEVER CHANE AND REMAINED UNCHANGED EVEN THWY ARE NOW THE BIGGEST BAND IN TGE PLANET! I LOVE THEM - BTS X ARMY 💜FOREVER!

[@eileencritchley4630]

Due to Haegeum he was offered acting parts. This is a real market place in Thailand btw. He also wrote the story board for this MV . Has just finished his solo tour of the US and has smashed Drakes previous record by being the first Rapper to sell over 1 million Physical copies of his album D-Day which is where Haegeum some from in it's day of release. I was one of those who pre ordered the album.

[@endoraismygma]

The thing I love most about Yoongi is his honesty, he really is a combo of Yoongi/SUGA/AgustD. He speaks his mind even if it's what people don't necessarily want to hear. So much respect for this young man. He continually grows as an artist and storyteller 💜😻😎 completely invested from start to finish. Yours is the best perspective of what's going on in his MV's that I've seen. You got it right from the jump which usually takes most of us a few watches to get. Well done 👍

[@KaterynaM_UA]

Holyshit, I've never saw anyone grasp Daechwita meaning SO fast. Not even army. And I thought you mostly vibed to it and not paying much attention to lyrics!!! I'm blown away. 😮

[@tessrussell4662]

Even as an army, I'm not going to claim that Suga will for sure be your favorite Kpop rapper, especially because expectations of idol rappers have really risen in the past few years. Even some solo Kpop rappers are really impressive and have that more aggressive older style you seem to gravitate towards. But I could totally see Suga being in your top three because him and RM are an essential reason why the rap standard in Kpop is so much higher now and Suga is just. that. good. He's an artist really. BTW the two guys fighting in the background of Daechwita are two other members; Jungkook and Jin haha

[@leeknowsnothing]

as you said 'sticking to roots' yes facts after they debut the best thing about being from a small unknown company was that they had freedom with how they make their music they experimented as much as they wanted to and poured out everythingin their minds into lyrics of their songs the company or them either of em didn't relly have that reputation that they could loose even if they talked about sensitive stuff which has never been common in industry as they went by it they got enough hate and criticism but a lot of ppl actually liked it they liked the rawness of their music they could relate to it....this is what made bts diffirent and one of the main reasons why so many ppl love bts and feel a diffirent kind of connection with them but the best part is that as they grew in popularity and expanded globally they only improved never did they ever forgot where they came from and what they were initially they don't feel embarassed by it specially suga and they still are the same with their music even if they have made their company one of the most profitable and well known companies in south korea......that's something rare coz most musician change their music style as per preferences....

[@elitzaandreeva8810]

Thanks for your thoughts on K-pop, BTS and hip-hop… I am 50 years old and have been listening to all types of music all my life, mostly rock and metal. BTS made me listen to hip hop as well. Yes, there are a lot of rappers in standard K-pop groups, but I've only seen such a connection to the history and ideas of hip-hop as a genre in BTS's art. RM, Suga and J Hope all rap differently and that's the good thing...everyone affects me in a different way. They are amazing!

[@MsJanoli]

you got it right…they are real hip hop rappers that just happened to be an idol

[@3wilan]

haegum also means lifting a ban or allowing something that was previously forbidden !

[@micaelagarrido7561]

BTS are great. Suga is extraterrestrial. Like RM is the real leader on BTS but Suga gives the impression of being the real boss you know. The CEO

[@DR_REDACTED]

25:29 Yes Haegeum" is a traditional 2 string instrument from Korea. But it also means something like "lift a ban" or" remove prohibition" That's why the lyrics are about freedom vs self indulgence and protest/riot or revolt.

[@keaiism]

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already but in Daechwita, the beat is the same all throughout the song. Only his flow and cadence changes that’s why it doesn’t sound monotonous. Just sharing because I have always been amazed by this ever since people mentioned it.

[@cylovebts]

Suga é um gênio, como ele usa as palavras e referência em suas letras é surreal, Apesar dos membros do bts fazerem suas música solos sempre acabam tendo referências do Bts tudo se conectar e você precisa montar um quebra-cabeça e isso eu acho fabuloso

[@AA-wq1fl]

Yes absolutely 😊❤ love Suga. Love your analysis.

[@nathalykim1263]

this is why bts has such a wide and loyal fanbase, they love music and they make authentic and genuine songs about the things that are important to them as people politics, capitalism, depression, anxiety, self love, humanity, purpose, love, they just have been making their own sound with honest messages for years and that is what get people's attention also, they are super kind and truly love each other, music and armys

[@staymoarmy4331]

Suga is definitely the top rapper for everyone so i agree with you 🔥🔥

[@tanishkayadav723]

This is just a recommendation but if you wanted something recent and personality related, Suga was interviewed by RM about his album 'D-day' on Suchwita. Its essentially Suga's show where he interviews guests over some drinks and food but since Suga can't really interview himself, he brought on RM to host the show for that episode. He (Suga) has interviewed other idols and BTS members too along with some other famous Korean celebrities on the show. Link- kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4nVZ2Csjd-GqKs

[@damianlimones1419]

Throught sugas music you can encounter three characters: Agust D, Suga and Yoongi, his different personas. Also, most of his music are social critics and about mental health, very raw and honest lyrics.

[@bellrmr]

Thanks for the reaction! Actually there are many things that can be said xD. Something that is very interesting regarding Daechwita is that actually, SUGA does come from the royal lineage of Korea, I mean, literally the Min surname corresponds to that special lineage, there are many Parks and so on because the nobles "sold" their surnames to the people of the village, but the Min surname is unique. That only makes more interesting the whole debate of that song and the symbolism of the video, which can have many meanings as he himself said. On the side of Haegeum, it is important to know that even though in the English translation in the sub it is not so well understood, Haegeum has two meanings, it is an instrument by itself and at the same time "to liberate the forbidden" or "to lift bans". This is what the video and the lyrics talk about, emphasizing that freedom is one thing and debauchery (or self-indulgence) is another, and that it is very important to understand this. Actually, all BTS since their first songs were distinguished for talking about taboo topics or topics ignored by society, youth issues and especially about what happens in Korea and Asia (like No More Dream, N.O., Baepsae/Silver spoon, etc), but SUGA especially was very open and always talked about his disagreement with many things, from the pressure to get grades and study to be considered "someone", to meet standards, social pressure, emotional problems, etc. A track where you can see how he talk about this, is an Agust D solo like "So far away" or "Strange" ft RM. Yoongi always talks about situations or things he has experienced (and yes he has been through a lot in his life, really, really a lot). His music and lyrics are sincere, real, and always, even though they may seem a bit strong, they always make you feel stronger, more capable to face everything that comes your way and never give up.

[@SHGogo-df5jr]

Did u notice how he was looking at the chopsticks at the end? The same red ones, from the same place, 1st used to take life & then to give (u need to eat to live yeah)

[@ryanneoverman2498]

To. finishing the trilogy! Just one more video and you would have had the full Agust D storyline! 😂😂😂 Even if it wasnt connected to the story I would have wished you to see Amygdala. It's such a different vibe from the ones you picked, but still so so ao Agust D. Just Raw. Everything he does is Raw. I love him so much 😢

[@runningupthatchill]

The simplest way I've viewed the dual AugustDs in the videos is him killing off the older, problematic person to keep growing as a human. Be it anger, greed, he is constantly trying to self-improve. And Suga/AgustD is known to discuss capitalism issues the most out of the guys, but you'll find them more on b-sides, including a great collab with RM called "Strange". The trilogy ends with Amygdala, but it is a complex story that is much larger than those 3 MVs, and you'd need to understand some of the other songs, especially "The Last" and even "Give it to Me" (where you'll see part 2 of 2016 Angry AgustD who is the pre-cursor to the Daechwita angry King) to truly start to understand the whole mix of Yoongi, SUGA and AgustD, and his growth from an angry and hurt 21-22 year old who first decided he wanted to create AgustD to get out some of his anger and frustration to becoming a pretty calm 30 year old who has used these albums to overcome some of his trauma. Because at the center of this is a young guy working through what is going on in his head.

[@prettyshindy5706]

Very well said 💯! We indeed could just enjoy the music(the rap) without diving deep into the lyrics, the story of the song, and the MVs. But to understand the whole story behind the making of it and the messages he tries to get across telling his journey and growth as a Person as well as talking about societal issues is something too good to miss out on.

[@peerlesscucumber9522]

you'll be soooo pleasantly surprised by jhope's music. jhope in a way often reminds me of doja cat with how they both are able to sing and rap and how their flow are so unique especially with their melodic rap too. his latest album jack in the box mostly is heavy hiphop and its clear he had many hiphop influence since he grew up with street dance which also entwined with hiphop. also we have an inside joke in the fandom that jhope never had a bad verse in any of bts or his own song.

[@atlantis315]

About the ending, he killed the man with the same red chopsticks, fighting the capitalism, and now he uses the same chopstick to sustain himself... In other words, yeah he opppses the system, but he acknowledges he is still inevitably a part of it. He is a massively successful rapper/idol, he made o lot of money and he profits from the system all the while being very much aware of its pitfalls.

[@atlantis315]

Oh and Heagum has a double meaning. The instrument is one, the other is 'lifting a ban' 'allowing what was forbidden' or even 'liberation' Daechwita is a genre of traditional korean music which was played to announce the arrival of the king. LoL. So he is saying play this shit loud, cause here I come. Brilliant

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

Also, when he gets out the police car, he’s holding the jacket of the corrupt Agust D he killed. 😊 He’s also un unscarred, healed version. It’s about rebirth.

[@eileencritchley4630]

The third song in this trilogy is Amygdala which is his personal story of his personal trauma's. He said he's all 3 Min Youngi (real name) Suga and Agust D (alter ego) that angry, greedy part of himself he's now finished the trilogy of Agust D but says you never know he might come back.

[@lauraperez2539]

The version of the Haegeum on live is amazing

[@moonlightmoonchild1133]

32:44 basically, him using the same red chopsticks that he used in the start of the video to kill someone, to eat noodles portrays the fact that he, as many of us, still has to participate in the system that we critisize and hate (capitalism) and that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

[@leeknowsnothing]

yo dont mind those comments it is so true since you are familiar with stray kids the most among all these kpop groups it is normal to compare them in order to come up with things all of us sort of do that even when i am introducing ppl to new kpop groups i take reference from the groups they know well so they can understand.....dont worry about that

[@eileencritchley4630]

Oh yes our Rapper swear in their Raps when it's required. They have complete creative freedom unlike most kpop artist.

[@secretyidentity2833]

One thing I'll say, when it comes to BTS you can just do yourself a HUGE favor and throw out everything you think you know out the window when it comes to these unspoken rules regarding their music and actions. BTS are true artists, every single one of them. Sure, they are kpop idols, but they don't follow standards, they never have, they set the standards for themselves. They have a true passion for their art, songs like Ddaeng Am I Wrong Spring Day (with the MV) MIC DROP All the BTS cyphers (1-4) Idol are all VERY charged with deep meanings (honestly I could just sit here and type out basically their entire discography, but these were the ones that popped into my mind rn) , Idol specially gives me chills whenever they perform live...in award shows....on the stage of the industry that rejected them for YEARS opening with the lyrics "You can call me artist You can call me idol Or you can call me anything else I don’t care I’m proud of it I’m free No more irony Because I’ve been me (myself) all the time". Also, welcome to the neverending debate of "is BTS music = kpop?" debate.

[@BrilliantHuman]

Spring Day is arguably their most well known song within Korea, and has been charting for 6 years. It's not obviously addressing anything controversial, and there are also great explain vids, but it confronts government corruption and a ferry tragedy that happened where over 300 (mostly school children) drowned in an accident that gov attempted to hush up. BTS has never outright said this is what it's about, the gov even went as far as to black list artists who spoke out the families involved.

Great reaction, which is rare.. You pay attention to everything as the details are so important in BTS and their solo performances and music.

[@tessrussell4662]

Another comment, BTS does have some more poppy songs, even songs that might feel more 'kpop', but that's something I like about them, one moment they're rapping over hard beats about cancel culture and baseless hate, the next they are crooning about dimples in pure pop, and then V is singing RnB mixed with symbolic poetry. They have become bigger than any genre, which allows them to create sounds I've never heard before and shake things up constantly, but they are still such talented artists that the mix of genres doesn't hinder them. They'll never lose their love for hiphop but their influences have become broader over time.

[@lolalo6344]

Bts has always had the freedom to talk about serious topics. That is what they started with, the pop-y cute stuff came later.

[@suzy7645]

Suga is a big fan of Korean period dramas. Daechwita was done at a place/ set where lots of period dramas are filmed.

[@JoSedunary]

The comparison thing... yes, most groups fanbases get a tad overly protective a lot of the time... for me, the underlying main point between the groups is that they are actually all friends or at least acquaintances... they help each other out and collaborate a fair bit ... you only have to look at some of the dance challenges around the net, in my opinion, none of the groups would be the slightest bit happy if the fandoms were going at each other .... there will always be 'favourites'.. but you will never hear any of your favourites putting another artist down... they all came up through similar hardships (BTS I agree copped it worse than most being with such a small company and having the rap line )... so they're nothing but supportive of each other.. and so should the fanbases be.... Just my opinion of course...Also, your take on the rapline being Hip Hop who just happen to be in a Kpop group...that is exactly what they were attempting to explain back in the beginning.. they wanted to bring the hiphop feel into whatever music they wrote.. and they did... now, the haters (most of them) get it... but it took a lot of grief for RM and Yoongi to get that point across when they first debuted... Thank heaven they just stuck at it and remained true to themselves... we now have 10 yrs worth of classics that spread across all genres...

if you want a song by him that gets really deep about mental health and breaks that kpop stereotype of not talking about sensitive topics, I can not recommend Amygdala enough.

Actually, BTS has always talked about systemic issues, in fact, their debut song "No More Dream" talks about the societal expectations of adolescents and how adults force "dreams" upon them. Another of their first songs, N.O, criticizes the harsh Korean educational system and questions it. Them being from such a small company talking about such taboo topics (specially in South Korea) since the very beginning, was quite a risky move. But they did it anyways Some of the more "political" or "taboo" songs they've made, Am I Wrong and Spring Day, got a lot of backlash from the South Korean Government. I've heard that at the time these songs were released, they were put on a Government Blacklist along with other artists that criticized the government (not 100% sure on this or the source, but it wouldn't surprise me) The reason why they were able to speak about such uncommon topics in the kpop industry is because they came from a small label. The CEO, Hitman Bang, always told the boys that whatever they did their music had to be real to them, their stories and experiences. As you have said, now that they are the biggest group in the world, they don't receive that type of backlash anymore. But the fact that they were like this from the very beginning will always make me so proud to be their fan.

In Daewchita video, the guys who fight actually are Jin an Jungkook, members of BTS 😂

[@anton_lezama_art]

BTS always tackled serious issues since their debut, they’ve always been that way. That’s why they’re the goats of kpop, no kpop artists will reach their level on God.

[@d4nd3l1on3]

15:32 those people are actually two other members of bts - jin and jungkook(the oldest hyung and maknae) and in this case jungkook is beating up jin 😂😂😂

[@Salmolicious]

Hey! Loved the SUGA reaction. He's my bias in BTS, and i love his raps. Some other rappers i think you should check out are: Bewhy, PENOMECO, Simon Dominic, and Bang Yongguk

Suga 💜💟😍😍💜💟😍🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@excelbliss6193]

This young man is my ult in kpop, scratch that,in everything person-wise 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Also do not mind anyone angry at you for that, it's natural to do that. You're not comparing per se at least not for pitting one against the other but because Straykids is your reference. Now with me it was the other way around, I've been Army for about 7 years didn't even look at any other groups for almost 4 years, so when I did I found that I always refer back to what I know (BTS). It's natural, don't feel bad about it 💜

[@sharonlahaye5803]

Yoongi is his real name, Suga is his “stage” name with BTS, and Agust D is the name he uses for his solo projects, his alter ego. It’s Suga spelled backwards with DT = Daegu Town, his hometown.

Polar Night and Snooze from Suga album D-Day

[@charach7855]

BTS ia actually talk about things like this since their debut. In their debut song No More Dream, they challenge their generation against the Korean traditions/cultures way of thinking. Their song N.O also in 2013, their talk against the Korean education system. And remember. they were still teens at that time except Jin was 20 years old at that time. Different from how other Kpop industry run, BTS came from a very small industry that was struggle financially and almost bankrupt. Bang PD (the boss of BigHit) also had a different mindset and he gave freedom to BTS members in their art. They were all involve in their art since beginning until now. About Haegeum, haegeum has 2 meanings. 1. as traditional music instrument which you get from google. 2. freeing what is forbidden (at 1:36 in MV). The last scene where he is back to the noodle shop, you see he eats using the same chopsticks. The same chopsticks, he/we can use it for destruction or nourishment, to destroy or to build,... 💜

[@maryannbaxter73]

BTS from the start have talked about political, economic, societal issues, from album 1. Many of their lyrics have something abou this. Go go, Baepsae, N.O., UGH, Dope and so many more

[@judyburgess3357]

You watched Taylor's introduction, so you should know that RM and Suga both came from underground Hiphop before they joined Bighit company. Suga is the BTS stage name for Min Yoongi, Agust D is the name he uses for his solo activities outside BTS. Swearing is for real, but this isn't BTS it's his personal stuff, self produced, self financed. You are really going to be amazed at the finance he laid out on the second track, Daechwita, which he then gifted to his fans. People can get upset about you comparing BTS artists to other Kpop artists because in many cases those other people are trying to be BTS. Fight in the background is actually Jin and Jungkook, bandmates. When BTS was started by their founder Bang Si Hyuk he wanted a group that would sing about all those issues, mental health, problems in society etc. He encouraged the group to write about those issues and their own experiences. The Big Hit motto at that time was Music and Artists for Healing. Likewise their name Bangtan Sonyeongtan means Bulletproof Boyscouts, he wanted to let them sing about the issues that hammer down the youth of Korea.

[@secretyidentity2833]

BTW a lot of ppl like to use the terms bias and bias wrecker, to avoid these exact type of petty fights abt who is better. So you'd say that Suga is prob your BTS bias and RM maybe your bias wrecker. Ofc none of it is like set in stone or anything like that and the more you learn abt members and their sounds the more likely your bias will gonna change over time. I'll forever keep switch bias wreckers, I've prob gonna through all of them at this point. RM remains my bias though, his lyrics are poems in its purest form, he can very well do fast and aggressive rap (his song "joke" was a response to those who claimed he couldn't, and the entire thing is brilliant and hilarious) but a lot of times he prefers to explores different styles, his latest album Indigo is an absolute masterpiece. J-Hope is also SICK You should def check out the conclusion to the Suga trilogy ("Daechwita" & "Haegeum" & ***"Amygdala"***) And BTS it self has countless hiphop tracks that stray (no pun intended) from the norm of k-pop hiphop ig....it's a weird way of saying it but you get the point. I think you'd really like "hiphop lover"

[@sonkim8264]

12:53 i actually feel the same way about this especially if you're talking about the way they sound or the way they rap or something like that. it's not like you're saying one is better than the other objectively but more of a i prefer this more than this or he sings it like this while he sings it like this.

[@lovevideos1699]

SUGA came from underground rap. Also the fast part, he rapped that part faster, LIVE, during his live concerts during his tour that are going on. And yes, you are right. That line, and this song was aimed towards them.

[@PJ6342]

Suga use this name when he sing with group BTS. Suga comes from shooting guard, the position he played in high school basketball. Agust-D (alter ego) is use when he does his mixtape or solo song because it's too explicit he don't want to connect that with BTS. Agust-D is Suga spelled backwards and the "TD" stand for his home town "Town Daegu"

[@lovevideos1699]

SUGA is known for that exact smile. ARMYs refer to it as :] 2:10

[@roseannyson8701]

Also, those guys fighting in the background of "daechwita" at 15:10 are bts members (JIN - with the beard, JUNGKOOK - got hit with the stick). It's just funny how they make that skit and I didn't even notice it was them the first time I watched the MV 😂 Also, fun fact: Suga confirmed his royal lineage during a V Live broadcast, adding that his family belongs to a high rank in the Yeoheung Min Clan. According to Business Times, Suga has at least four ancestral grandmothers who were empresses or queens that ruled over Korea

[@anatroche8170]

hola solo quiero decir que me encanta leer los comentarios de ARMY son tan de ayuda con sus conocimientos que me alegra que te informen espero los aprecies.

[@marinal.]

Cont... Hi, i am back. Good reaction(Haegeum), ty. Did u spot that there is 6 gang members with Suga. o.0 Suga always has BTS represented in his MVs. He so sweet. Jimin ult bias, Suga wrecker, OT7. He looks so hot. Love the souvenir jacket his wearing. I have one too but mine is black and has cranes on it. I love dragons though and my fav color is blue & black. I kind of thought we would not have a song like Daechwita on this album D-Day. Well guess i was wrong, huh. 0.0 I was really surprised on 1st watch. I never thought he would connect 3 MVs together. 0.0 That is brilliant. Suga is such a genius. I love it. Suga during the premier said to listen to Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amygdala. Soi hope u do that. Powerful song. I like that we continue the story from Daechwita. But this song is more violent. Geez. He is such a savage! I liked it. Good rhythm. Suga is a visual. Excited to rewatch the MVs in order like he suggested. Did u spot the Joker reference i missed that. Ur reaction was many of us. He is such a boss! Here's a list of solo projects. doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/solo-projects/ Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army 💟 Borahae ARMY *KEZ* said on 4/21/23 So Haegeum means allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden. His whole album is overflowing with his emotions, and not only does he talk to himself in his album, he talks directly to the listener (especially with one particular song, where it almost feels like he breaks the 'fourth wall'. I've experienced it via a movie before, but never by song, until now) there are ARMY translator accounts on Twitter, so if you want to listen to his album on Spotify or Apple music etc, you can have the lyrics pulled up to help you understand what he is expressing 💜 ScreamCheeese said on 4/21/23 Haegeum also means “to liberate” or “to release” from bans, restraints, or something forbidden. You also really need to see Daechwita!! You’ll understand a lot more of this MV and it’s just as amazing! Just a movie-like. Min Yoongi is a genius for a reason 😩 Plants healing said on 4/21/23 Haegeum has two meanings. The first is a traditional Korean stringed instrument used in this music "this song's a haegeum", and the second, as the lyrics say, "a new kind of haegeum" means "unlock". Yoongi uses both haegeum in his lyrics. Addison McDorman said on 4/22/23 Haegeum: the English lyrics & the meaning. Haegeum is a song about unlocking our new potentials, freeing something previously forbidden. The word “Haegeum” has a double meaning. On one side, it’s a traditional Korean string instrument that has a very peculiar sound, but this is not the authentic meaning Agust D/Suga intended originally. Haegeum” means “allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden.” Here is how he explained it in an interview: The word “Haegeum” came to me when I was young. I played rhythm games, I loved rhythm action games. When beating a certain stage, you’d unlock a forbidden song, then you could play a new rhythm. It was a “freedom from the forbidden.” Why don’t I try and break free from those things? This is explicitly confirmed by the English translation of the lyrics in Haegeum: This song’s simply about freeing what’s forbidden but you must remember to differentiate freedom from self-indulgence This song’s a haegeum Get on board now This lively rhythm A new kind of haegeum Marissa McWhiter said on 4/22/23 The second meaning of haegeum is the lifting of the ban of something forbidden. Adding what I think the story is based on things I’ve heard from other reactors...commentaries and what he said in the d-day documentary. First of all he did say in his intro of the video during the premiere that this video is the second of a trilogy. He said the three videos meant to be seen together is Daechwita, haegeum and amygdala ...which is coming up! So I believe the king in Daechwita, the first form of august D, was killed by black haired scar face agust D. But then black hair becomes the boss in Haegeum. He seems to be a police detective or officer that is corrupt. He runs his operation from above the Asian noodle restaurant. New Agust d wants to kill him too! Maybe like in Daechwita it’s because of his corruption. So he invades the headquarters and gets his money. On his way out we see a guy making a phone call to the boss...but new agust d gives him a nod. So I think just like in Daechwita new agust d has a deal with this insider to help him kill the boss. So this new guy didn’t really want the money it was just a bait to get him close to the boss. So like in Daechwita, as he was about to be killed he switches the story and kills the Boss instead. Before the boss gets shot we see the boss smirk. I saw a comment that this could be because he knows that this New guy will also meet his fate! So in the end new guy was accepted by the boss’ men and he was delivered to their headquarters the restaurant where he takes over. The final Shot of him eating with the tool he used to kill a man suggests that the violence will sustain him. So now we will wait for amygdala to see how the story ends! So the song itself was explained by Suga in the documentary. He explains that as idols there are a lot of things they seem to be restricted from doing, acts that are normal for some will become controversies for idols. Like if his smoking at the age of 31 will be seen as wrong then he wants this song to be the start of liberating or lifting some of the restrictions put on them. He also talked about the effect on too much information and how easy to get them also starts to restrict thinking. It’s a very deep song! The funny thing is...this song has triggered a bit of hate from kpop on social media! Fans of other groups are thinking Yoongi was targeting them...or even saying he shouldn’t be against capitalism since he is from Hybe! Lol totally missing the point of the song...or maybe just proving Yoongi’s observations! He’s a genius! The rest of the album is genius! I hope you do an album reaction! Mic mic bungee said on 4/22/23 what's amazing is that in the MV, hanja 解禁 was on the screen which = haegeum, in terms of "to lift a ban" not 奚琴 = haegeum the instrument. WHICH MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE because the lyrics talk a lot about judgement, prejudice, and being free from all that. something about it is so raw, and honestly, i feel like it's a big fu to those who try to "cancel" grown idols for doing something normal humans do, like him "smoking" in the MV or just dating, or any issues some fans can't accept. "This song is a haegeum" meaning this song is targeting kpop "fans" who always make a big deal out of things that are not even supposed to be controversial HE'S SO ICONIC FOR THIS. Steve Blevins said on 4/25/23 Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 13:36. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychological condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.

[@dedekmanu6726]

The one that fighting in the backgroud at daechiwa was Jin and JK. They did some cameo there to support Suga lol

[@CBRphoto]

Kpop is an industry, not a genre. BTS started as a Hip Hop Idol group, and then evolved to other genres. But yes, BTS is on a league of their own, they are beyond Kpop. ✌💜

[@ourpurpleworld7]

Jin and JUNGKOOK are the ones who were fighting behind 😂😂😂💜

[@whatahassle]

MY ULT BIAS!

[@sharonlahaye5803]

So true what you said. However, other fandoms start foaming at the mouth when Army says that BTS is so much more than K-pop. RM and Suga were rappers and lyric-writers long before they became k-pop idols. And BTS started out as a hip-hop group. wait until you get to their early songs and albums.

[@beccal.5369]

subs in AugstD are correct - he can swear like that as it was a song from his mixtape which is not under the same constraints as a studio album.
