You immediately recognized that the letters on the title in the video was not Korean letters. It's Chinese, in fact. Before a Korean King commanded research and invented the Korean letters based on the research, Koreans used Chinese. But it was very hard for common people to learn so majority remained illiterate while only the nobles who can afford to study can read. FYI: to be able to read Chinese, you have to memorize at least 1,000 characters. There are simplified Chinese now, but they're still hard to memorize. Korean letters are much simpler.

The rice chest line refers to crown prince sado of The joseon dynasty (an old kingdom in now Korea) whose father the king, sentenced him to death by putting him into a rice chest for 8 days until he died of starvation. The prince suffered from severe mental health which is what links the comment to the video as the old August D being portrayed as a mad king. The prince murdered many of his servants and eunuchs which is why he was killed in the end. Clever links in his lyrics to his countries history

[@robgreenwald4993]

I saw an interview with Suga talking about this song and the executioner at the end of the video is the butcher from the beginning. Suga stops and looks at him and they have an understanding to work together to take down the tyrant king. I like the end when Suga is tied up and bobbing his head and he stops for a second to sing Daechwita and you see a grin on his face almost saying, "i'm about to surprise this king and take him down." Love it!

[@lucyordonez651]

Ahora explícame en español plis, que eso está bien interesante, caray nunca creí que Suga me despertara tanto interés por comprender lo que quiere expresarnos. Estoy muy intrigada y quiero conocer más de su trabajo. Me parece que BTS es cosa de niños para él 🤭, me gusta Suga 🥰❤⚘😘, I love it.

[@babysluss68]

I like that bit too.

[@DEE-305]

The video is about contemporary age/new Suga killing his old self/king. Moving on from his old self. Btw the idea of this video & everything was mostly his idea. You might want to check out his new mixtape D-2, almost all of it is self produced & self written.

[@user28221]

The video was shot at a filming site for Korean historical dramas and movies. The name of the site is Daejanggeum Park, owned by one of the main broadcasting companies in SK i.e. MBC. So, the palace, the market place and the prison (where Suga was tied and surrounded by containers of burning woods) are replicas of buildings that existed during the Joseon Dynasty era. Suga was very detailed in the selection of props (like the scar, the gun, the sword, costumes etc.) and he came up with the story line. Suga explained that the MV didn't cost him much (well, to a world superstar like him 😉 ) since he used existing buildings and the extras were Big Hit staff and dancers 😅. I think only the executioner is a profesional actor. Suga got a lot of love and support from Big Hit and BTS family 😊

[@dionysus4778]

And the director of Kingdom was one of the staff that worked on this video. That's why it has the vibes of Kingdom

[@JediJean]

Thanks for sharing all this info. I was wondering where this music video was shot. Now I know. And the Director of Kingdom was involved too. No wonder it has real period drama vibes. I love watching Korean period dramas BTW, so this music video was a real treat for me. Once, the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore had a special exhibition about the Joseon period & I spent hours visiting it & looking at everything that was exhibited & just learning about what life was like in Joseon. Very interesting stuff to me!

Daechwita is marching band for King of KOREA "dac means louder" "chwi means play musical instrument " " ta means play a drum" so Daechwita means (so louder play musical instrument & louder play a drum for king)

[@thatweirdodaniel]

대= de (ignore the a people write it to differentiate it with ㅔ because they sound the same) 취= chwi. okay this one is weird but bare with me. just say chui, ignore the w. there is NO w in this syllable block, it's just a ㅜ and aㅣsound. if it's easier for you just say we. so it would be "chui", "ch-we" or "chwi" 타= ta. this one is simple! just think of tata. english has a lot of sounds for the letter A but in korean it only had one which is "ah". i really appreciate you learning korean! i haven't been practicing so i only know how to read and write it naturally but im not in the level of speaking it naturally. i know a few words so sometimes i understand but it's not a lot.

[@carmenmoore3371]

Actually, 대 = dae because the 'a' is present there, 'ㅏ' 'ㅣ'. We keep it this way to help differentiate when romanizing Korean words. The character 'ㅔ' is usually just written as 'e' but the characters present are 'ㅓ' 'ㅣ'. 취 = chwi The character 'ㅟ' IS a 'w' sound and this one is 'wi'. So it is correct to say 'chwi' with the character '취'. Keep practicing and it'll make sense! And, for reference, I'm Korean and have taken Korean lessons for quite a few years since Korean wasn't my first language. Thanks for learning Korean :). Practice makes perfect!

[@lulubutterfly7499]

Keep it up with learning Korean. My daughter fell in love with these amazing young men six years ago and now she is majoring in International Business with a minor in Korean. Spread your wings and fly! Nothing is impossible if these guys are motivating you. I would love to see your progress soon. All the Best💜

[@RGale60]

Part of the meaning is related to the class system in Korea… as well as the way BTS was treated in the early years.

[@dancemachine1919]

Fun Fact: Min Yoongi is actually the grandson of the last emporer of Korea

[@NANI-bg1ds]

1:34 bro that moment when he gets all exited that he can read half of the hangul in the title is really relatable. i used to learn japanese a bit a few years ago, but i was getting alittle bit bored because i wasn't seeing any progress at all, until one day i got a sentence in japanses and i could read it smoothly like it was in english. bro that made me feel all exited inside. i miss that feeling tbh.

A minute and a half in and already impressed by your reading of hangul.

[@LaWendeltreppe]

There is a nice guy from SK who explains what this video means here on YT. You can learn a lot. I think this video bei AGUST D is amazing, it has everything: style, beauty, tension, exotic, erotic vibes, and who thought that he was such a great rapper! The lyrics are meaningful, he is a helluva dancer and it also has this heartbreaking message, because the real Min Yoon-Gi is dealing with many problems, as I read, like many many young folks in SK, too much pressure, too many young people with depression and a high suicide rate. Get more into it and you will be surprised. I also loved how it has blown you three away...

[@offthehook1001]

I've been waiting over a week for your reaction... And then you upload on the one day I don't check YT! Well done on DD's Hangul learning. It's so satisfying when you start being able to read Korean.

[@naf.n]

Ya can't watch the video without nodding your head like that right 😎✋

[@RK-do8ug]

Chiwta is traditional military music. Dae means great or grand. So, the Daechiwta band played music only for the kings of the Joseon dynastic kingdom (began in July, 1392 and ended in October, 1897). In the lyrics, there is a reference to the mad king from the Joseon dynasty, Gwanghae. This is why you see the dead bodies in the courtyard or chopping people's heads off and August D smiles and dances because he is showing the madness of the ruler. During the interview, August D said he likes contrasting old and new. For example, he wears the prince's Yongpo (Yongpo is the traditional outfit the kings and the princes wore during the Joseon dynasty. Kings wore the red Yongpo and princes wore the navy blue Yongpo) with the sneakers, blonde hair, big earrings and black denim pants. By the way, here is another reference to the mad prince, Sado. August D wears the navy blue Yongpo, just the top, and for Koreans or those who know the Joseon dynastic Kingdom history, it is obvious that August D is dressed up as Sado. The other character August D portrays in the music video is the current himself with the black hair. He ends up killing the mad prince with the gun he gets from the guy with the big sword because somebody has to stop the madness and of course August D completes the mission, hence all the bragging lines in the music portray both characters in the music video. August D said in his interview that the guy who gives him the gun is the same guy who chops a big chunk of meat in the marketplace at the beginning of the music video. The Joseon dynasty was a monarchical kingdom and the butchers were the lowest socio-economic group of people. Traditionally, they were brought in to execute criminals by chopping their heads off at the courts because killing is what the butchers do shamelessly. Therefore, the butchers were discriminated against and had a lot of frustration and anger towards the society for inequality and not being able to have life opportunities. August D plots with the butcher to kill the mad prince because he is the greatest.

[@rachealrhee8652]

Wait til you find out about the king Gwang Hae he's referring to (guy he's symbolizing). 광해 was known to be the most evil crazy king in Korean history. He was a musician and an artist himself but definitely had some side where he damn near killed half of the people in the palace. His MV and the historical reference of classicism, ego, pride and the power. Damn it's crazyyyyy. Glad you guys were able to catch his feelsss

So excited that you're learning Hangeul!! That's so 대박!!! The W's are hard because there are a few different ways to write them... Fighting! FYI this word is written in English with a w, but it's actually silent.. so daechwiita is pronounced "deh-chi-ta".

This was Agust D, the solo artist ( that is why there was no Bighit intro logo, the mixtapes by BTS are done on their own, with their own money, and usually put on SoundCloud and Spotify for free), then there is Suga, who is the performer with BTS, then there is Min Yoongi, the man.
