Two Rock Fans REACT to Amygdala by Agust D

[@melsb1825]

So his Mum had heart surgery immediately after he was born and he had to live with his grandmother as a baby. The accident was in his trainee days and he kept it secret for a while as he was working part time delivering food and wasn't supposed to. The company waited for him to recover from a severe shoulder injury and paid his college tuition so he didn't have to work. But he carried severe shoulder pain until a few years ago when he finally had surgery to fix a labrum tear. His Dad's surgery was I believe after he debuted. Both his Mum and Dad are still alive. There is a lot more to Suga's mental health journey he shares in other songs. The scar is symbolic and not real. Suga just though it looked cool in the Deachwita video. But as he plays a king in that MV that is to show something as well as a King in ancient Korea had to be perfect. A King with a scar would be the exception.

@@TripTipsPodcast I’d like to add a few details: 1) Suga blamed himself for “contributing” to his mom’s heart problems with his birth. 2) He pursued a rap/idol career against his parents’ wishes. 3) His accident happened while he was a trainee at BigHit, and his dad’s diagnosis was likely after his debut when he was already actively performing. So he kept questioning whether he had made the “correct” decisions & probably torturing himself over being selfish/greedy re: staying in Seoul to pursue his career as opposed to returning home to care for his parents. 4) he has mentioned the self-harm scene in this MV represents the idea that we give ourselves a lot of the hurt that holds us back. 5) The different versions of himself in Daechwita & Haegum have scars that have healed to a different degree, except the thug (possibly undercover cop?) in Haegum who has completely recovered (or has he? 🤔) 6) In the last concert of his tour, he waved goodbye and stepped through the white door, and he has been looking a lot more open & relaxed.

[@MinMiChiOT7]

Thank you for checking out Amygdala. I cried watching this MV. 1. Suga has done so many part time jobs during his trainee days to support himself financially. He got into a motorcycle accident when he was doing a food delivery. He didn't tell anyone about the accident. He was scared that Big Hit will cut him off from the group. So he endured it and keep it to himself. He once said that when they have to perform a heavy performance, he will take some kind of a pain killer shot on his shoulder. It was 2020 when his shoulder gave up due to the choreography of Black Swan that he has no choice but to undergo surgery. He was absent from the group for about 3months. 2. His Mom had a surgery after having Suga. Her mother became sick when Suga was born. In the BTS book released this year for the 10th anniversary of BTS, Suga shared that it made him somehow feel guilty. It made him think "Was it right that I was born?" (It breaks my heart) His mom still alive and I believe she is doing just fine. 3. His Dad liver cancer was after their debut. That time their group is still struggling to prove themselves. Receiving hate and backlash from left and right. His Dad still alive and seems like his doing good. PS: Suga is so brave. Not anyone has the courage to be open and share their private life and dark past. He put all his suffering and traumas in to his craft. And in a way, it became a therapy for him. But he is OK now. Please react also to "SNOOZE". One of my favorite from Suga's D-Day Album. (He cried his heart out singing this live on the D-Day tour Final concert in Seoul) D-Day: The trilogy of AgustD. The battle of Min YoonGI. The story of his life. Now he's healed. He's freed.

​@@TripTipsPodcast Yes, indeed. As a 48 Army single Mom, I only can add that listen all the 4 solo songs of Jin, Suga, J-Hope and Jimin after Jin entered to the military service had helped me to confirm how real and talented Souls they are. They chose these songs to Say Goodbye to Army, so imagine how important those pieces of Art mean for them. I can't tell nobody how miserable my daughter and myself lives were since she was born...so I found a real family to do it: Army. And the hope of better days begun when I started to listen to my 7 real Angels. It's been 7 years from now and I thank the Universe for their existence. I've just suscribed to your Channel...'cause I find your reaction so honest and empathetic. Hope You enjoy to became part of our Purple World and understand why BTS is not another Pop Band or a bunch of beautiful men.

[@busybee1066]

He wasn't able to free himself in the past, he just could not open that door. But recently he has shown us, that nowadays he is much better: at the end of his last concert in Seoul they put up a door on the stage and after saying his goodbyes, he opened it, turned to the audience and left through that door. This symbolic gesture gave such relief.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

[@camilasalazar457]

Hi, guys. The scar is a mental scar that was also made as a defense mechanism. I guess a psychologist could explain it better, sorry. But basically Yoongi creates Agust D on a personal level to be able to save himself and on an artistic level to be able to express himself in ways that he cannot with BTS due to the difference in music, content and audience, although now that doesn't matter much because we all love Yoongi's music . All those things really happened, and Yoongi has been through more than what is shown in the video. You might be interested to know that in this video he doesn't get out (white door) but on his last day of concert, he went out through a white door that represents this, which means that he is now free and at peace with himself. Thanks for reacting guys. Kisses from Argentina. Borahae 💜.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for explaining 🙏💜

[@njjm5003]

So many people have explained this so well so I won’t add to that except to say that the members have always been very supportive and extra careful with Suga. He also had his appendix out in 2013 and the members all visited him in hospital. For his shoulder surgery he was absent from November 2021 until end January 2021 and in all then performances BTS did in that time they left his space empty and in all interviews they had cut outs of Suga or photos so he was with them. Jimin even phoned him during their award speech for MAMA that year so he could thank fans and phoned him in Run BTS episodes 128 and they called him again in Run 143 and in the Comeback Live Life Goes On. They included him in almost everything they could. Jimin phoned Suga just as he was about to go down for surgery and when he was awake afterwards and would go with him to physio. In Seasons Greeting 2022 Jimin gave Suga the title of self development as he saw all his physio therapy and how hard he worked to get fit after surgery. During that time of recovery the members were always thinking of him. When they were rehearsing for their Black swan performance RM, Jimin and V were all saying how much they missed him and how empty it felt without him, Jimin even got teary. When he came back they were all so protective of his shoulder too. They really are a family. They were like that too for Jin when he injured his finger in April last year and had surgery, when he couldn’t dance at the Grammys Jimin said BTS were incomplete without Jin and they were only BT without him and Taehyung told him off when he said he was a hindrance to them in their Las Vegas concerts…… they are sooo close it is inspiring. There are so many more incidents like that……..

[@TripTipsPodcast]

That’s sad 😞

[@belle54643]

To answer your question in 6:33...The amygdala is a part of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes. The name amygdala is derived from the Greek word amygdale, meaning “almond,” owing to the structure's almond-like shape (you can actually see Suga in some scenes eating almonds!). It is responsible for the perception of emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness, as well as the controlling of aggression. The amygdala helps to store memories of events and emotions so that an individual may be able to recognize similar events in the future.

[@cg.9219]

If RM's "Wild flower" is heartbreakingly beautiful, SUGA/Agust D's "Amygdala" is heart-wrenching and straight pierce to the heart. As mentioned in the comments, it's his story as Min Yoongi himself. In order: Daechwita > Haegeum > last is Amygdala. This is the origin of the scar, it's self-inflicted. This live version on his last day of his D-DAY The Final concert hits different.. all members have struggled but I think Yoongi had it the most and he doesn't just open up to anyone.. so for him to write a song and share this to us takes grace and courage. D-DAY is a masterpiece.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Yea it was a sad song for me. It was so real.

[@fifiroukine5331]

His parents survived and are healthy now. Because he was poor, Yoongi was a delivery man during his trainee days and on a rainy night in 2012, was hit by a car. The accident dislocated his shoulder, but he didn't tell Big Hit for fear of being kicked out of the band. Some time later, because of the pain, he told about it and the company paid for his schooling and treated him. But he only had surgery in 2020, so he performed for eight years with the pain, supporting it with injections. The pills you see in the mv are either pain killers or anti-depressants. Agust D has as many aggressive as emotional songs. It often makes me cry... I propose The last, So far away, Dear my friend, People (my fav), Snooze,..

I’ve only scratched the surface of his songs

[@fifiroukine5331]

@@beany1944 Careless error... Corrected!

[@mishiannasummerville4225]

I believe this song is showing how yoongi compartmentalized all of his trauma and how his alter ego Agust D was born to help him deal with all the emotions that he was going through during this time. As you can see the scar is there and is fresh, while in daechwita it is still in the process of healing will in haegeum the scar is healed and how the "new" Agust D doesn't have a scar. So in it a sense i see it has Yoongi saying that he doesn't need Agust D anymore. And this album is a way of saying goodbye and thank you to him for helping him during those times. As for his parents his mom had the heart surgery soon after he was born but when he was a child sitting with her he could hear her pacemaker. His dad was of course will he was training and working in BTS. The "I dont know your name" I think he is talking about Agust D since he didn't have a name for him yet. Another song that delves into him more personally is 'The Last" and 'Dear My Friend'

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Dad got cancer when he was filming Bon Voyage in Malta and left the show halfway through to go back to Korea. the accident he was still in training the company was about to go bankrupt and he took a delivery job for an income, he worked for years taking medication and giving injections to cope with the pain and he got to the point where he couldn't lift his shoulder and he did surgery in the pandemic. his parents are alive, when he was a teenager he already tried to commit suicide he says this in a song THE LAST had social phobia. There's a D-DAY documentary on Disney, it's worth watching.

Thanks we’ll check it out

[@CP_LUVS]

Thanks for checking this out. He has said the "scar" represents the scars we carry in life based on experiences, our own decisions, etc. It can represent the pain that we often carry that people can't see, the baggage we carry, the ways we put ourselves down or cause "self harm" in physical and non-physical ways. He doesn't actually have a physical scar there. Sometimes the "scars" are emotional, psychological, spiritual, etc. Sometimes we don't recognize ourselves, or who it is that we want to become. While he does have some music that isn't necessarily "deep,' it often is but he also likes others to interpret it for themselves and find their own connections to the music, lyrics, etc. Thanks again!

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

I’ve never seen anything that shows how it feels to be trapped in your head in your memories as this does. It also stresses the need to stop ignoring it and unpack all the bad things to get over them. It’s a difficult but hauntingly perfect song. Live it was almost devastating in the final show of his tour that he couldn’t make it through this song and was in near tears the whole song while playing guitar. YET at the end of the final concert he walks out the Amygdala door finally free of all this pain and walking into a better place. It’s one of the most beautifully triumphant moments I’ve seen (again the final 3 songs are 3 of his most emotional songs and he was physically and emotional exhausted and cried on stage through all 3 songs). But he is strong he walked out that door. I respect and love him so much and he’s taught me a lot.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Couldn’t imagine being trapped in my head. That’s a nightmare

[@tracydowd4013]

*My own thoughts on Agust D's Triloogy:* Yoon-gi has shared his mental health issues with us since the beginning, and he stated how some of his roughest times were in the early days, like from 2014 to 2016, how he developed social anxiety at age 18, he was dealing with depression and OCD. BTS had hate coming at them from all angles, and it took a toll on them in the early years. So hearing all the other things he was dealing with as well, just puts things into perspective. He's such a strong person. In the making video, he said the scars we create are of our own making. So the best way for him to represent that was the way that he did with the scar on his face. And the medicine he took was for his condition. He talked about how he saw a psychiatrist and his parents went with him, and they said they didn't know who he was anymore. This was in "The Last" from his first mixtape Agust D. He said how could anyone know him when he doesn't know himself, so that phrase "I don't know your name" made sense to me. Looking back at repressed memories. Thankfully he got through all of it, and now is healed to a certain degree. I see the rain as a shift., He also talked about "What doesn't kill you make you stronger", and he is now blooming like a lotus flower. The lotus flower is very resilient, and can grow in mud and water, like on a lake or pond. So I see the rain as cleansing, and healing. He also said in the behind the scenes on Daechwita, that the mad King was the Agust D from his first Mixtape in 2016, and the peasant was from his 2020 mixtape D-2. You can see the scar is very raw in that video on both of them, maybe slightly less for the 2020 Agust D. In Haegeum, i interpret it as Agust D from 2020 is the Police detective/corrupt Boss, with the partially healed scar, and the Agust D that kills, and steals the money with no scar is D-Day Agust D. The one that is mostly healed and is talking about freedom. (Do we ever completely heal from our scars?) In an interview with IU, and in the D-Day film, he talks about how he was very angry and now he has forgiven the haters and is living in the present. So his music moving forward may not have the angry vibe that we have seen in the past. But he is definitely not done yet

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Such an interesting explanation and breakdown. Thanks for sharing this with us 😊💜😊💜

[@materidouska286]

A great reaction gentlemen. Yoongi´s music is indeed deep and very introspective, even his hard hitting aggressive tracks are full of deep thoughts and nuggets of truth. His discography is wild, wide and at times shockingly personal. Always great though. I do not know a single dull, shallow, empty song. Yoongi composes, writes and produces most of his tracks himself, a full control of his own artistry kinda guy. If you are interested to hear more from him, just start digging , his three mix tapes are all stellar. Some from his most iconic tracks > AgustD, The Last, So far away ( from his first AgustD mix tape - 2015); Daechwita, What do you think, Moonlight, Strange, Burn it, Dear my friend ( from his second D-2 mixtape - 2020); Haegeum, Snooze, Amygdala, Polar Night, Huh, D-day ( from his last mixtape D-day - 2023) He also has some great solo stuff as Suga of BTS > Seesaw, Interlude:Shadow, First Love, Never mind He has also produced for other BTS members and other Kpop stars ( also some international artists). Last but not least Samsung hand picked him to create a new tune for their signature tone. Enjoy :-)

All this in the early days. His hardest decision was to keep working in music, not knowing if they would succeed, especially with his shoulder injury. Or to quit and try to support his family with a regular job. It's why he goes hard against haters. He had much more important things to deal with than online bullying.

The amygdala is a part of the brain that processes primal emotions like fear, stress and anger, and is heavily related to trauma or ptsd symptoms. In yoongis case, he's basically begging the most primal part of his brain to stop messing with him and save him.

[@tracydowd4013]

He was a trainee when he had the accident, and he was afraid he would be fired if he told the company. So he didn't tell anyone. He made up a story about falling down the stairs to the guys. He was a baby when his mom had her surgery, parents were sick, during the time he was with BTS, but they are okay now. He never got his shoulder treated until 2020 when the pandemic gave them time off. He had corrective surgery, and was in rehab for his shoulder for about 3 months or so. The pills were his medication, and I don't know if he took too many, but I'm not going to assume that. He's good now. It takes courage to tell your story. I think I don't know your name means that those were repressed memories, and he doesn't know that person, like he doesn't know himself. You won't get his private family personal information from the rise of Bangtan. You will get his information with BTS and the company, and some emotional moments, but we didn't know his personal information unless he tells us. His parents are fine. He just talked about staying with them when he finished his world tour, and he had a bad cold so they told him to stay in bed and get better. I think that was in Suchwita with the Jungkook episode. If you haven't watched that, It's good. All the members except V has been on the show, and V will be next I believe.

[@ericweinman9447]

I think this surprised some people who had Suga pigeonholed as a bad ass rapper. Suga has a number of personal, introspective tracks and a number of sociopolitical tracks which sometimes get lost by even ARMY as most Agust D tracks do not have music videos. For instance, I think Suga's recent struggling to combat his emotions while singing My Dear Friend has become an internet fascination and opportunity to witness just how sentimental a person Suga is. That said, I cannot recall a flood of listeners recommending reactors approach this material when Suga closed his D2 mixtape with this extraordinarily relatable song. Perhaps it did not fit the bad ass image. The only emotional Agust D track that gets pushed is The Last which has a victorious bad ass second verse following its painfully troubled first verse. On the plus side, it was wonderful to see Agust D concert goers who by definition are apex ARMY pick Suga up when he struggled to keep his composure across a set of songs. This made for an endearing moment. But to the point, an imagery has been crafted around Suga which makes him saleable to Western often gender image hamstrung males. His bad ass tracks have been used as a gateway drug into the BTS rabbit hole. The reality is Suga always has been way more complex. For some Amygdala is their first chance to see this.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

He was really vulnerable in this one

[@juneseghni]

At the last concert of his recent tour there was a door on stage like the one that appears in the video. At the very end he finally goes through the door and closes it, signifying the closing of this chapter of his life. Suga indicated that August D might not appear again. When asked in an interview with IU if future albums might go by the name SUGA he said ''That was very sharp of you. Once Agust D’s trilogy comes to an end, it might be hard to see him again… That’s what I’m thinking for now.''

[@judyburgess3357]

When he was a trainee Suga had no money so worked patttime as a delivery driver even though the company had forbidden it. In the accident the car crushed his shoulder. He dare not tell what had happened because he thought they would sack him, so he said he fell downstairs. He self treated with painkollers but over the years his shoulder got worse till he could hardly move it. Eventually he owned up to what had happened (maybe 2019) and waz given many months off for major surgery and rehabilitation. The scar in the movies is symbolic. Now that he is about to join the army it is thought he will have to do a non combat job because of his surgery. His parents are still there.

[@duniabarecka7404]

Some comments covered your questions pretty well, but just to clarify shortly about the accident: as a trainee he was working delivery particularly to cover for his school fees, as you already know he left against his parents so he had no choice. So he worked, trained for whole days to debut and studied at the same time. He was probably exhausted out of his mind when the accident happened. A car hit his scooter, crashing his shoulder. Like others said, he didn’t tell anybody despite pain because he was afraid the company will let him go, kpop world is harsh and doesn’t wait, there are always other kids waiting for your spot in debut lineup. He was terrified that this is the end and he’d have to go back to selling songs he’d be constantly ripped off on, that his dreams end there. But in the end he couldn’t bear it and he told the company. Instead of throwing him out, the company covered his school fees, despite being a small broke label. They patched him up best they could, and he had an expensive surgery 8 years later, leaving group schedules for 2 months. BTS carried his photo everywhere though, like saps they are. They even added his VR hologram to their 2020 MAMA live performance. which probably costed a fortune

I don't know your name is talking about his personas. Min Yoongi, his birth name , Suga his stage name, and Agust D his alter ego for his solo work. Yes Min Yoongi went thru all of thisl. To really understand his emotional journey from the depths of depression, struggling with identity "artist" v "idol", to resolution being proud of all that exists within himself, and being able to accept the title of Idol, you need to listen to "The Last" and "First Love ". Suga being raw vulnerable, honest and amazing. Those two songs made Min Yoongi my forever bias 💜 .

He has openly said that he had medication for mental health and he advocates for mental health. He also had to get treatments for his shoulder while touring and would have had medication. I don’t think he had an addiction. I think the pills here show time going by as he just survives. The Amygdala is a small part of the brain that stores trauma and it builds fear around things to protect you in the future. All three videos he has had two versions of himself. In this one he is trying to process and integrate the parts of him that have been pushed down. You have to love that part of yourself and just let it be part of you or say goodbye to it. The way I see it is we have versions of ourself that we let go of all the time, who you would have been, what you should have done. You make mistakes. You forgive yourself and in a way, you have to be thankful that a part of you stepped up and handled the trauma. This song was part of his process and he said it was hard for him to write. It really made me think of a lot my stuff. It’s amazing how you can find connection in someone else’s story when they are so different from you but it helped me remember things I haven’t thought of in years. The scar is an outward representation of showing pain on the inside, and not real but I am sure there are people who do have scars and that is why it had a self harm message. TY as always ❤

Just wanted to add that the scenes of "pill-popping" in this video likely aren't about recreational drug use but rather they probably refer to the pain-killers he was using habitually to be able to perofrm such intense choreography throughout BTS' career (all while dealing with a shoulder injury from the motorcycle accident that would eventually require surgery to correct). And also, just as a personal interpretation, I've wondered if they could simultaneously represent psychiatric medications like what might be prescribed for depression and anxiety. I dont know if Yoongi has ever taken any medications for such conditions, but he heavily implies in his various works that he has first-hand experience with those kinds of mental health issues.

The accident was during his trainee days, he needed money and worked as a delivery guy and that's when have the accident. He didn't say anything to the company fearing they would let him go. Since they were debuting he couldn't fix his shoulder and endure years of pain. The pills is no like popping for fun; he was in constant pain. He was able to performed surgery on 2020. His scar is an emotional scar, not a physical. And in the lyrics he said he was working and received a call that his father was sick w cancer, so yes , everything happen while being bts member, and he was really young to carried all that.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for the explanation

[@rosedto3806]

@D&JReact - Suga's parents are alive and well. This video is a true story. These incidents happened during Suga's BTS journey. Because the company didn't have much money, Suga took on a part time job. That's how he had an accident one day while delivering food and that let to his chronic shoulder injury. Amygdala is the 3rd of a trilogy. The Amygdala is the part of the brain that deals with memories and emotions. Suga reveals (1) his inner thoughts, hurts and demons about what happened to him (2) the creation of his alter ego August D (scar over the eye) (3) the room in the video is from the vantage point of Suga being inside his Amygdala (4) at the end, he tries to change history (not riding his motorcycle and instead running to save himself) but you can't change the past and that is why he couldn't open the door. In Suga's most recent live concert, D-Day The Final Day 3, Suga ends the concert by walking thru the white door - meaning, he's at peace with his past and is moving on. Side Note: I can't remember where I read or heard Suga talk about his shoulder accident but I recall that he suffered in silence for many years while performing with BTS. He was scared to tell Bang PD and the company about his injury because he thought he would be thrown out of the group. So he suffered until it came to a point where he struggle to lift his arm. At which point, he told Bang PD and the company. They were so saddened that he felt all those years that he couldn't tell them, they immediately got him shoulder therapy and set a course for surgery of which they paid for. The surgery happened a couple of years ago. He was missing from some of the award performances but the surgery was successful and the rest is now history.

My suggestion would be for Suga's song 'First Love' which is a symbolic song, you have to read between the lines with that song. But it is a very amazing song and one of my favorites, along side with the song, 'The Last' it also has deep meaning. Both of these songs speak about Suga's past and his life in general. Between his raw lyrics and emotions, I'm not sure which one pulls me in more, or the combination of both. And then have this song 'Amygdala' to add to the list. These are my top fav Suga songs.

Yes suga’s parents are still alive. As far as a precise timeline idk if we have all the pieces of information. What I do know: His mom had heart problem due to childbirth and had heart surgery while suga was still very young, so suga always felt guilty bc of it. Back when they were just trainees, suga used to work as a delivery boy bc bighit had a very low budget. He got into a car accident and hurt his shoulder pretty bad but didn’t tell anyone, not even the members, bc he was afraid of getting cut bc of the injury. It was very traumatic for him and he couldn’t do deliveries anymore. He told the members he fell down a stairs or something like that. Eventually he told bighit abt it and they ended up helping him by paying for his education or something along those lines. For years suga had a lot of pain on his shoulder and was still performing and giving 100% of himself in the dances. There are some compilations out there of moments he was visibly in pain on stage, grabbing his shoulder, etc. It was only in 2020 that he finally had surgery to fix his shoulder injury. There are some live performances he misses bc of it like the mama 2020 where BTS performed and left his spot vacant in the choreos and had playback of his parts in the songs. Fun fact: all the members have tattoos of a “7” in different parts of their bodies, and suga was the last one to reveal where he got his…his shoulder. He finally showed armys during his last show of the D-Day tour in Seoul, and Jin and J-Hope managed to be there to support him, despite being in the military. RM also performed with him that night and a few hours after it ended bighit announced that suga will be enlisting soon. We don’t know when his dad started going through that bc this is the first time suga has ever mentioned it, but we assume it was a couple of years ago. That’s it. That’s all I got

Min Yoongi works under 3 monikers depending on which type of project he takes. 1. Min Yoongi/ Suga - as part of his core BTS work 2. Suga of BTS - when collaborates with external artists like Halsey Then 3. Agust D - Agust is his alter ago which he uses to tell his personal stories and showcase his personal projects. Min Yoongi do not have a cut over his eyes in real life but some of his music suggest that in past, he has contemplated suicidal thoughts and the cut he makes in MV is represtative of that side of life he expresses through Agust D. The cut just started as a storytelling fearure but evolved as a part of his bigger narrative vision that ties Daechiwita and Haegeum MVs. In closing of his recent concert, he was able to open the door and walk out happily. He has also mentioned that "the cut is now closing and healing" symbolically saying that he is now feeling much better and getting over his past traumas (he was a delivery guy and got into a motocycle accident that badly injured his shoulder and for years he performed with that injury without telling the details to fans so they won't worry) Hope it helps.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

That helps a lot thank you🙏💜🙏

[@leeswhimsy]

My personal take on the "I don't know your name" line is: He is talking to himself. He doiesn't recognize his former self in the memories he's trying to sort through, and/or he doesn't recognize the person he has become because of all the trauma. I'm sure others have said this, but the scar is not real. It's just a representation of his inner traumas. He has said before that we give ourselves the scars we have, so in this story arc, he is saying that yes, things happened to him, but a lot of it scarred him because he allowed it to. Of course, there are reasons for that, and we ALL do the same thing in our own lives, whether we admit it or not. His accident screwed up his shoulder big time, but he didn't let anyone know about it because he was afraid BigHit would get rid of him cuz he couldn't dance like he used to. Instead, he simply dealt with the pain and continued to dance, etc. When he finally couldn't deal anymore, and he told them what happened, they were pretty great about it, and paid his tuition (which is why he had the delivery job on the side in the first place) and his medical bills. They told him they wanted to pay his tuition so he wouldn't have to work another job. However, he didn't get his shoulder fixed until a few years ago, and unbeknownst to us was doing all these choreos through the pain. Now, his shoulder is good (he got the surgery) and he seems so much happier. Imagine chronic pain for all those years...

Yoongi's parents are alive and, in fact, went to the first night of his D-Day The Final concert not too long ago in Seoul, along with Tae's and Jung Kook's parents. He said his mother had heart surgery about a month after he was born, so he probably felt some level of guilt as if he caused that in childbirth. I am not sure when his father's cancer was, but it sounded from the lyrics like it was while he was away performing. His own accident was when he was a trainee and he took a job as a food delivery person because he didn't have much money and BTS was just getting started, and they commonly deliver by motorcycle in S. Korea (at least that's how it is portrayed in K-Dramas). He was afraid to tell the company for fear they would kick him out and not let him continue. He initially told the company and the other members that he fell down the stairs, because he hurt his shoulder so he had to say Something. Years later, he told the truth and it wasn't until late 2020 that he got his shoulder repaired (during the pandemic, while they couldn't tour). He performed all those years -2013 to 2020 - with a bad shoulder. How's that for dedication and drive?!! He has written songs on his earlier mix tapes about depression, but I don't think any of us knew about his mother's and father's conditions and surgeries until this song. Yoongi was a brave sole to disclose all of this and, I believe, this is helping bring closure to that rocky part of his past. He has mentioned that this D-Day album may be the last as Agust D, which I think means he doesn't feel the need any longer to have a 2nd stage name to sing and/or talk about his past like this. In other words, he has or is learning to live with it all now. Your past is always with you.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for the link

[@what_what__]

he doesnt know the name of his Amygdala (responsible for bad memories). some accidents can trigger OCD (in the case of Yoongi), that harms to a human (self harming - scare - fears from that injure - fear to lose everything - position in the team BTS - he said about it in Inthe Soop 1 season, due to inability to dance, train, etc...). but on the last concert of the dday, Yoongi opened the door, he got out of those fears - he is healed now (i assume because he was studying a lot about Amygdala - it was in In the Soop staycation show of BTS he started to read the book Amygdala). His mother is well now, she had a heart surgery - one time he heard some ticking (as he singing in this song) when he was leaning on his mother's chest (he said about it in the Road to D day documentary).

I don't know if the boxcutter was suicide, but more how the Agust D scar got there.

I hope this makes sense. ㅂ = b sound ㅏ = ah sound ㅇ = no/ing sound Therefore, 방 is bahng or bawng sound ㅌ = t sound ㅏ = ah sound ㄴ = n sound Therefore, 탄 is tahn sound

@@janerogers8201 oh that makes sense. We’re using the Duolingo app to learn all the letters right now. Some of it is kind of confusing. But we’re slowly getting it.

[@janerogers8201]

@@TripTipsPodcast that’s cool, I’m using Duolingo as well to refresh my Korean since I haven’t spoken it in years! Keep at it, you’ll get there. Btw, Korean Hangul is the easiest alphabet to learn, scientifically proven. I think on average, you can learn it in less than a day. Once you have that down, you’ll be able to start reading by sounding out the “letters”. Like preschooler or kindergartener learning to read s-t-o-p; ㅂ ㅏ ㅇ ㅌ ㅏ ㄴ

In his last concert in Seoul D DAY encore BTS Suga finally opened the door...he's now FREE❤...in this MV he can't open the door for some reasons he's mental health, worries...etc.

amygdala, (a-MIG-delah) region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes. The name amygdala is derived from the Greek word amygdale, meaning “almond,” owing to the structure's almondlike shape. The amygdala is located in the medial temporal lobe, just anterior to (in front of) the hippocampus.

Thanks for explaining

While experiencing all this trauma, he come up with this alter ego, Agust D, who was angrier more direct, this other alter ego is what we see in his videos with the scar. From my point of view when he says I don't know your name, is referring to: he doesn't recognize himself.. like who is this person? The whole song is about himself what he went through and how he got stucked in that place for years.

Thanks for your response

10:50 "if their parents it still alive". Fortunately, they are still alive n they are much better now. Both of his parents coming to BTS concert in 2015 for the first time, and at that time Suga breaking down n crying on stage and give a deep bow to his parents when he sees them at the audition seat. All the bad condition is happened in the past. Suga's mom heart surgery happened when he just born, and his father get sentence have cancer it's when he already grow up (like he tell on his lyrics, he get the news about his father cancer when he at work. But we didn't know it happened if is in his trainee day or after he debut. But Suga have part time job as food delivery when he is in trainee (predebut time) and get accident with car on that time too.

And both his parents attended his solo concert in Seoul and of course were there when Suga's older brother got married recently.

For "i dont know ur name" part, i dont know if this the right answer for Suga case, but as someone who also have past trauma, pain n scar myself i think i can understand it. Ur trauma, pain n mentally wounds that been builds up so many years, eventually will make "another me" to handle that scar n pain that "the real me" couldn't handle it yet. This "another me" will have different personality that can be the opposite of "the real me". Such as, if "the real me" is have soft, obedience, weak, scared etc, then "the another me" that we created in order to handle the problem will become a different personality, it will become more tougher, rebellious, brave etc. But deeply we know, that is fake. But if we get used with "the another me" for a long time, it will become part of ourself or even we can get confused which one is our real self (the two personality become intertwined). In some cases, there is people who more like their "another self" n ignored their real self but there is also people who despise their "another self" but they cant do anything beside to keeps wear it because they need that "the another self" to handle their problem n pain. But, deep inside, we know which one is our trueself (it depend if we acknowledge it or denied it), so the "another me" is not the real me. They are part of me but they are not the real me. Because they are not the real me, hence, it like "I dont know ur name. U are me.. but also not me." Sometimes, if this another me is in intense level, it can led people having mental personality disorder that we called DID or multiple personality in their subconscious. And that the time, for the fake personality or "the other me" have their own name that separated with our identity. But for people who didnt have that intense split personality disorder, that "another me" it still didnt have a name. We still recognize in our consciousness "the another me" is part of us, but in same time, it's also not our trully self and we know it but we still using it as part of our life. Hence,, "the another me" didnt have any name. Sorry if u get confused if i cant explained it well beside english is not my first language too lol.. but hope u can understand it ^__^

I don't know if old time ARMYs already know about his parents' health condition but as far as I know, he only opened up through this song. All I know was his motorcycle accident which happened during his trainee days and he has to go through intense dance practices with dislocated shoulders. After they debuted, he still suffers from the pain caused by that accident. He is sometimes seen stretching his shoulders on stage when his part is over. He only had a shoulder surgery in late 2019 to prepare for military service (the dedication to his country though). About the line of this song that goes "I don't know your name" is probably about his depression caused by all his struggles that even made him consider to commit suicide (thankfully, he didn't). He also went to a doctor regarding his mental health. In his song "The Last", he was talking about how his parents no longer know who he is and he also said, he doesn't even know himself anymore. Edit: Yes, SUGA's parents are both alive. They recently attended the wedding of SUGA's big brother this year.

[@crystalsnow1138]

Just a small correction Suga's surgery was at the end of 2020. One of the few good things about the pandemic is it allowed Suga the time to get his surgery and recover. Suga mentioned his mom's heart problem before in the song Moving On from 2015.

After his birth his mother had the heart operation and he blamed himself for her heart problem just because he was born. His Father's Liver Cancer was while he was away on tour. His accident was while he was doing part time delivery job as a Trainee at BigHit before their Debut, he didn't tell them what happened or how much pain he was in because he was afraid he'd not be able to debut. Most of the time he was in a lot of pain as that injury never healed properly and over time got even worse until he had to have a shoulder operation which he had in Covid. He doesn't have a physical scar on his face in the MV it's a representation of the scars trauma leaves on people. He suffered a lot both phyically and mentally. He even raps about his family taking him to theory in one song and the talks about being unable to go on stage and hidding away in a toilet (bathroom for Americans). The 'I don't know your name' I think is a reference to when his parents took him to the theory session and his father said 'He didn't know him anymore' and he told the Theorist 'how can he know me I don't know myself' Oh yes both his parents recovered and are well.

[@einna6494]

Everyone is doing a great job in the comments with the explanations. I would like to add that the scar is obviously symbolic throughout the 3 vids. His battle with himself and trying to stay sane and grounded unlike the mad king and the head of the police force. Think of movies like Fight Club and Batman with Heath Ledger’s Joker. The Joker was trying to fix all the injustice and wrong in the world and society but ofc was a madman and went about it in the wrong way. These guys make you think they don’t just rap, sing, and dance. The running storyline throughout their songs AND even in their solo projects all connect and come back to the BTS Universe story. The story is insane… I hope they make a movie because it’s basically the guys caught up in a butterfly effect a continuous time travel loop and from what I’ve come to understand is that no matter how many times Jin groundhog days it he can’t them u till they truly learn to love themselves.

I would like to mention that You guys are missing out on Everglows comeback. Plus, the GG (girl group) XG. XG never misses and Everglow is killing it. Just a suggestion! TY for taking the time to show love to BTS. Especially now with all the Scooter Braun drama. I believe the guys knew this was coming when they decided to go on a well deserved break. BTS had mentioned on several occasions that they would most likely go into the military at the same time. But the industry makes more off solo acts then groups. I actually follow you on two accounts now.

He was a part time delivery guy when he was a trainee because he was poor and had school and expenses. He got hit by a car I believe when it was raining out. And literally tore his shoulder. And never told anyone because he was afraid he would be kicked out of the company, and he knew it was music or nothing. So he went years with that shoulder, dance practice and performances with tons of pain. In 2020 he finally had surgery because he could no longer hold a bottle of water. It was a traumatic time for him

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Sounds rough. Glad he made I through.

[@jenniferclark1258]

So, I feel like I always have to start my comments with that fact that this is my own interpretation (or some ARMY will go after you 😂) and everyone will have their own thoughts on what everything means. He is clear on events that happen but interpretations on visuals will always be debatable until he talks about it. I believe that the scar represents his mental scar his trauma has created. Is that blame he puts on himself or that the trauma has caused him to want to self harm/have suicidal tendencies or just a representation of the scars he has on the inside? I don't know but here is no real scar and I find it interesting that he did it to himself. If you notice in Daechwita his scar is still fresh and not quite healed. The story is about killing the king (I believe to be his ego) to stay true to himself. In Haegeum, the detective has a scar but it is much more healed than before. Again, he kills what looks to be a corrupted, greedy part of himself (ego). The catch to that is the MV ends with him walking back into the noodle shop almost replaying the same story, with the detectives coat. Like history will repeat itself and as many times as he tries to kill the part of himself, he can't escape it. This song adresses his traumas and how he ended up that way. That dark room represents his Amygdala. Amygdala is a part of the brain memory that triggers fight or flight response. You see him looking at himself as if he was outside his body, like 3rd person. This is him being in a Disassociated state. I believe he suffers from depersonalisation in this video which is the feeling of being detached and looking as a 3rd person. This can be caused by trauma or stress. It can also cause amnesia in which you can forget things about yourself or what happend. This could be why he says I don't know your name, how are you doing these days and he also mentions that he can't remember so lets unpack them one by one. There is a lot of deep stuff going on in this MV and he is so brave to show all of this to us. Luckily, at his day 3 of his D Day Tour, he had a door set up and after a lot of tears singing his songs, he was able to walk through that door and showed a glimpse of hope that he has been able to escape and move on from his past traumas.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Wow this was so detailed.😊🙏💜 thanks for sharing with us.

[@sugakookie7985]

I see Amygdala as the first in the trilogy the scar is fresh as he made it in the video, by Haegeum the scar has faded significantly. In the video it looks like Yoongi caused the accident but the reality is much darker, it was raining he set out to deliver the food but the driver hit him then left the scene, I guess he thought that would be too upsetting for the music video? He told members and the agency he fell down stairs, he was afraid if they knew he was working a part time job he'd be replaced and it would have all been for nothing.
