WE ARE SHOOK | Agust D 'AMYGDALA' MV REACTION

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

Hey FAM a few of you were asking about the book I mentioned at the beginning of this video. It's called Almond and I was inspired to read it when I saw how much RM and SUGA enjoyed it on In the Soop. When I saw the name of this song it immediately reminded me of this book because of the themes the storyline centers on. Here is an amazon link for this book if you want to check it out and read it for yourself - amzn.to/43ZREh8 - I highly recommend it 🤓

[@georgirancour198]

Is the Amagdala almond shaped?

Hey Nico, really appreciate your thoughtful response to the MV, have to say it made me tearful when I first watched it - he trusts Army so much to share all this with us ❤ On the book, I saw someone yday pointing out that in a cpl quick shots you see almonds in his hand...that's what he's sitting eating nr the beginning, so he's def referencing the book in it 👍

I am a mental health professional by education and currently working in the field.... this absolutely took my breath away. I found myself suddenly wiping tears away, like what?

I want to mention that the lotus flower he mentioned is a flower that rises from the mud but with no stain. they return every evening to the murky water and bloom again during the day. it really symbolize people who are trying to break through their trauma. I'm so thankful for yoongi

[@virginiagoodman7644]

I am so glad you posted this. I was getting ready to do the same. Not only does the lotus flower rise out of the murky water, over time it helps clear the waters around it. This man is beautiful and doesn't have a clue how many people who are suffering have been touched by his raw emotions and honesty in this song and The Last from his first mix tape.

[@daphneduff431]

The MV, Lyrics and Song in general is a masterpiece. Yoongi over did himself on this album. Amygdala sums up and very on point downplayed of how dark and nasty our inner battles can be. This song hit so hard to the core of every being who has been in that dark path. Yoongi is very brave to put this out there. Our trauma is a never ending loop and inception of nightmare we are trying very hard to escape to and him being able to interpret on point really resonates to everyone. This hit so hard. 😢

[@maryr1905]

Totally agree. I felt like finally the depths of the struggle that words really can’t describe have been captured. I will show this to anyone trying to understand what it is like to struggle with depression. Only someone who has been there could have done this. Having survived I only wanted something more clear to say hang on. We know he got help and survived. Knowing that people have survived helped me to hang on one more day when I needed to.

[@mischabadams]

Thanks to both of you for sharing your response to this powerful reaction by Nico and AJJ. As always, they are there for us, taking the healing energy given to us by the Bangtan members, collectively and individually, and making it even more accessible, and doing so with wisdom, love and compassion. I feel so fortunate to be in the watchafam.

[@daphneduff431]

@@maryr1905 i have gone that dark path far too many times. I know it ain't easy and it really gets overbearing sometimes to the point that the only escape is something that will hurt your family so much. Just hang in there, endure although it's difficult and choose life, trust me it gets easier and you'll get stronger and understand life in a different light.

[@Solny_army]

He tried to save himself and couldn't. This is what the final sequence shows. Back then (delivery boy Yoongi looks younger) he couldn't, and it's how AgustD - full of anger - was born. But also, it's also a reminder that you can't really escape your memories and past (I think the room is his Amygdala). Yesterday, during R-Chwita, Yoongi mentioned that this kind of thoughts come back cyclically. But at least for now, he's finally at peace. This whole last part is shown in Haegeum, imo: not-scarred AgustD, free from his anger, manages to finally kill his scarred self. Who, though, laughed at his face before being shot, because he knows he will never be truly free. And the tuft of hair in the very last close up, when Yoongi is eating the noodles but raises his head, crosses his eye like the scar used to for the Mad King and the Cop. A foreshadowing that the thoughts can (and maybe will) come back again. It's heartbreaking.

[@user-gz9he6dv8k]

[@CraosRiv]

Very true. Depression is something you can never fully get rid of. There are ways to cope, there are ways to heal, ways to make the impact less painful, but until your very last breath depression's still like a shadow behind you, just out of reach, threatening to kick in the door and pull you down into that empty darkness at any point in time. Because it knows it can, with you unable to do anything to stop it. So yes, the thoughts can come back, whenever they want, and you have no control over them. Depression is something that is uncontrollable by us.

[@LotusBloom0309]

Yoongi didn’t have to do this. He didn’t have to open his mind and show us all of his fears and intrusive thoughts. But he did, because A. He trusts us, and B. He always give everything he has to his art. And this series of videos are pure art. Thank you, Yoongi. We love you.

[@sha28418zeel-TaeKook]

[@nicky96791]

I think we can add a C. it’s his way of letting people know that they’re not alone. I think a lot of times when people are struggling either it’s mental health (it doesn’t matter the cause) they feel like they’re suffering alone. That they need to fight against their fears and intrusive thoughts to bloom from the mud like a lotus. Just my thoughts.

[@mamejoe2043]

And with that it also makes him heal because one thing for sure we Army’s wants is for their mental health to be stable and have peace with themselves. The only thing upon all their struggles we will just look upon and not do anything about it their health and am glad they don’t joke with it and deal with it by letting it out am so glad for this music am in the same state and I can tell you the countless time I try to take my own life and it not easy I can really relate to this song

[@brownsuga2432]

I'm hooked to this song from the first listen, then I read the lyrics and I understood why. My mom died of pancreatic cancer last year, I was her caregiver so she died in my arms last April. Since then I got my Master degree and after that, at 25, I fell in a depressive state and I decided to go to therapy. Best decision I've ever made. I cry every time I watch this MV because I can relate so much. Min Yoongi did another masterpiece!

[@maryr1905]

Wishing you all the best. Therapy was critical for my recovery as well. When I literally could do nothing else I chose to go to therapy appointments. When I didn’t feel like they were helping I still went. Finally things turned around. The scars never go away. You become a different version of yourself but that is OK.

[@sarithapothuluri2052]

I completely agree with you! My father died of pancreatic cancer in 2017, my mom and my husband were diagnosed the same week, Mon with breast cancer and my husband with colon cancer. Mom passed in Jan and my Jai passed in October of 2019. I am a physician and after all those kisses I had to take a break and I got therapy too and it was the best thing I ever did too.

[@lollypop2294]

The most impactful part of the MV was the fact that he did not get out, The amygdala store those experiences but they never leave. we have to find a why like Suga did to own them and process them so we cam move on. many folk dont get to process their pain and they just end their life. Its a sobering thought. we need to check in with folks and ask how they are doing and if they are struggling. I truly believe that these 7 men were fated to change the world, and they are doing it. I have nothign but respect for SUGA for laying himself bare for us.

[@heystopit2670]

As someone who’s mother is currently battling stage 4 cancer, this song really hit me hard. The way he made himself vulnerable just for us so we could understand that it’s ok to reflect on bad thoughts and memories, you can get through it, there is always another side to everything.

[@laurahilliker5336]

Suga is the first to really touch on the subject, He is known to have had a lot of social anxiety and OCD and depression in the early parts of BTS when he first started he even sang about it in his mixtape Agust D The Last, this definitely represents his mental capacity at that moment of his life. Knowing that he talked about some touchy subjects that K-pop is not really doing not that I would consider this music to be K-pop .I think he is the type of artist that expresses his true inner thoughts and feelings and he writes it down and he sings and raps about it because that is the way he can get out that frustration or anxiety! He identifies and to get rid of it I think he wants us to know I am the same as I always have been but I am better now he’s gotten help he’s got medication‘s that help him! I believe that he’s in a better mental state now I think he has a grasp on his emotional and mental situation! And I pray that he will continue to mentally as well as physically be healthy as well as all of the members of BTS as they one by one enlist into the military! 💜🙏🏼

[@je_art_gallery]

happy to watch your reaction as always ... This MV is not just a simple MV, but part of a story of his life, so proud of him for opening up on ARMYs for being so vulnerable. He is one of the strongest person I've know for fighting all those struggles. His parent's illnesses, the motorcycle accident, and the battles against himself, It all made him stronger. As he said in the lyrics "what didn't ki_ _ me only made me stronger, And I begin to bloom like a lotus flower once again". After his IU palette interview as he said " I am good now, I am mentally ok, I'm at peace now." something like that - it made me feel very happy for him. I salute him more and more. 🫡🫡🫡

[@shireenedoo1978]

This song is the perfect example for the fact that you may see someone succeeding and becoming famous, have everything they could ask for but you don't know the hell they been through, how hard they worked, how painful it was, how many sacrifices they made to be where they are , until they tell you .. Suga certainly went through a lot and came out shinning like a star .. but he is isn't he, a bright shinning star .. great reaction Nico and AJJ, I can definately see your appreciation for Suga shinning through👍👍👍💜💜💜👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜

[@carpediem8871]

FYI "Amygdala" in Greek means "almonds". You can see Yoongi eating almonds sitting in front of the closed door or even holding them in his palm right after holding the pills. This symbolism is insane. It's like trying to eat up the cause of his fear. I have great respect for this artist. I hope he finds inner peace and never fall into darkness again. His art is impeccable and that shows a true Human with deep emotions! Respect! 💜

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

I noticed that too. Just like the book Almond. I think he drew inspiration from that book to express himself in this video and song.

[@Karin_Allen]

I have a different interpretation of the video from you guys. I'm not claiming mine is right because I really don't know, but here it is. I think when he gives himself that scar, it means he's tormenting himself by not being able to let go of the trauma behind that accident. So even though the scar shows the creation of Agust D, there's more to that persona than we ever knew. We thought the king of Daechwita symbolized anger at his haters, but it was mostly about his internal suffering - and we had no idea just how deeply he was suffering. Then in the scene where the younger version of Yoongi runs away from the bike and tries to open the door to free his internal self, he *can't* open the door (The video ends with Yoongi still trapped in that place of suffering). The whole bit about running away from the bike before he could have the accident is just a fantasy. He can't undo what's already happened, so he can't get that memory out of his head. It's stuck in his amygdala. But we know Yoongi has been through a lot of therapy and has found a lot of peace; so to me, this song represents memories of his worst times, not his present self. In the latest episode of Suchwita, RM told him that he'd become the most positive member of the group. That says tons about his current frame of mind.

[@ioanamirunaniculaecibi1088]

True! ❤

[@jimjimcherie]

It wasn't a prescription addiction. Yoongi went to the psychiatrist when he was 18, we can infer that he was medicated after that, which is why almonds and pills are also used interchangably, not just in reference to the book almond, but bcs it makes reference to the amygdala and its job its to regulate emotions, and when you're medicated for depression and different medications for mental health purposes its to regulate your emotions and responses.

[@EpiphanyOfMine]

The song hit me really hard and I feel honored that Suga decided to share this with us. I resonate with the lotus flower part a lot - it's exactly the reason I got my lotus tattoo when I was 18. In hopes that one day I can be reborn from the muddy waters and be better 🙏

[@Natzkwho]

I was rly nervous at the end of mv. See someone you love have so many hardships it's hard to see. But i admire Yoongi to be so open about his struglings, in his society mental health is still a tabu. He's so brave to tell us. I love his music even more. All my respect to Yoongi.

[@erivera9313]

I’m amazed that Suga can tell such a story in just a 3-4 minute song/video. This just proves that he’s an amazing story teller that uses music to share his deep message. We are truly blessed to have him show those struggling that there is hope.

[@PurpleMary_23]

I couldn't stop crying because i felt it to my bone and my respect for Suga just went high for sharing his story with us, I want to give him a hug for not giving up 🫂 Anyone who is going through this now, remember that Yoongi has said on multiple occasions that it’s temporary. Things do get better. I’ve dealt with depressive episodes throughout my life and he’s right, Don’t hurt yourself. Get help if you need it. 💜

[@maryr1905]

I agree. Just hang on. As part of my recovery I decided that I wasn’t going to accept the stigma. I was fighting as hard for my life as others fighting cancer. Survival is possible and just take one tiny step at a time.

[@YJOT74Life]

The Last let us into everything he's gone through but Amygdala really opened the doors and let us know who he is. As someone that deals with their own internal men/tal struggles, this video is probably the most accurate description of how it feels to be trapped in your own mind. My love and respect for Min Yoongi really increased with this music video and song. It's deep and hard to watch but so truthful and honest. Thanks for your reaction. Much love to you guys, Fam. We love you and your channel. Keep fighting.

[@luraecriswell8615]

I cried so hard to this. To think that he kept this all bottled up inside him for so many years breaks my heart. Even through all of this, he still tried to give us songs and a show. He has bared his soul in this album and Im so grateful that he chose to share it with us.

[@nalishachetty7287]

The first time i heard Yoongi's album amygdala hit me directly in my heart this was the first set of lyrics that i read and it broke my heart, i cried so much. Now that we have visuals that goes along with it, it's even more heartbreaking. The scar was self-inflicted from the battles he had with himself due to all the traumatic events that took place in his life. Yoongi is a real fighter. The fact he went through all of this and decided to share everything with us shows that he trusts us so much, i can't imagine how hard it was for him to relive all these moments with writing this song. I am so proud of the man he has become. I am extremely proud of Yoongi. I am so grateful for him because he gives me strength everyday.

[@aeiou_7]

I totally agree with your thoughts on Amygdala. Yoongi is so strong to have gone through all of his past to make a masterpiece out of it that will support millions of people gone or going through phases as he did. So much respect to him for doing this. I always listen to this song on youtube because no matter how many times I see his expressions and emotions he displays, I'd respect him more than ever.

[@squixiee]

I have diagnosed CPTSD and have been going to therapy for years now. I cannot tell you how much Yoongi’s music has helped me. When Agust D’s first mixtape came out, I related to it so much. All the anger, that was what I was dealing with at that time too. Now, fast forward to D-Day. Yoongi has done his healing and lives in the present, and that’s just about where I am at too. Yes, the trauma shows up sometimes but not as bad as before. It’s funny bc in therapy, you learn about the importance of the amygdala, so when I first saw the title of the song, I was amused. Then watching the documentary, his performance as well as the lyrics really hit me. And of course, now the mv. The way he portrays trauma and a separate personality that holds onto all of that, it’s so realistic. It really feels like they’re stuck in a room while the trauma plays over and over again. That personality isn’t you, but it is at the same time. It’s a very hurt and broken version of you. The self-harm, the emptiness, the fear. I am so thankful for his vulnerability here, because it’s a reminder that I’m not alone in these feelings.

[@maggiepie765]

🫂🫂🫂 I’m glad to see that you are doing much better!!! For me - when I first heard his song “The Last” - I think this is probably the time when it just clicked to me that Yoongi / Suga is my Ult Bias. Hearing and reading this song it’s as if Suga somehow got a hold of my Journals where my deepest darkest thoughts lived - read it and made a song out of it. 😭😭😭 With his Amygdala release - I felt like I went through a journey with him because I have just also recently came to terms with my diagnoses. I have just realised that I have slowly accepted it - that I’ve somehow started to accept myself too. Yoongi / Suga / Agust D is right in a sense that these things that makes us who we are - our emotions, fear, longing, vulnerability,heartbreaks ….. it will always stay with us. We might not be entirely free from it and THAT’S OKAY. You are not alone. Life doesn’t always have to make sense. Despite the highest of highs and lowest of lows, the randomness of events - LIFE is beautiful no matter how chaotic and unpredictable it can be. 💜

My heart broke watching the mv. I was in tears it hit me hard them lyrics are very deep not something I expected to hear i feel sad that he's had to deal with all of this.i respect Yoongi so much this was very painful for him to to write. The scenes for the mv was very stressful for him to film. I was surprised he put this into to mv as it may trigger some people who are going through this or have been the same things. He's very talented and I'm a very proud army opening up about health issues and struggles is not something many would put into music he is strong he is a very good person and role model and a great son and his parents are so proud of him they must of felt very sad when they heard the lyrics too. He's been through so much in his life sad you say we never know what is going on in someone's life as they are very private and they don't always want to share stuff with us. As many hide their pain like Yoongi did when he had the accident as he was worried big hit would kick him out he struggled for years even though he had the surgery his shoulder will never go back to how it was before. As he still gets pain.

I was sad about Yoongi saying he's going to do something different than Agust D, but now I completely understand. As much as we love it, it was a persona created to deal with anger, fear, anguish...

I love how he uses the lotus flower as a metaphor for his present self. Lotus flowers grow in mucky, muddy water, yet when it blooms, the flower is beautiful and unmarred by mud. It literally emerges beautiful from the mud. (Yoongi mentions "lotus flower" in D-Day and Amygdala) Now that we know the true meaning behind Agust D's scar... it made me look at Daechwita Agust D in a brand new light. For the first time I am truly seeing Yoongi in him: beyond the fictional storyline, he represents a part of Yoongi that was so mired in trauma, he hid behind his arrogance and madness. Someone on twitter pointed out that for all his bravado, King Agust D was alone and isolated. It's like he acted out on his madness to gain control over SOMETHING in his life. As though he wore his madness as a shield. The Rebel Agust D, for me, had the strongest conviction between right and wrong. And perhaps he represented that part of young Yoongi who had a plan and was determined to right the wrongs done to him. The Boss in Haegeum... he has a healed scar (King had a fresh wound). He's jaded and calculated, coolly operating covertly to still be in control. He seems more mature, but also ambitious and greedy for worldly things. The Thief Agust D has no scar at all. What struck me the most about him was he toes the gray area between good and evil. He killed someone, but he also took down the crooked detective and burned his dirty money. He also seemed the happiest. In a nutshell, the scar represents Yoongi's trauma. Now that we're in the last part of the trilogy, his wound has healed. Yoongi is an incredible storyteller who has woven layers upon layers of meaning into the AgustD series. You can look at his songs as social commentary and later discover a deeper, more personal significance in all the "cool stuff" he put into his work. You can also enjoy the Daechwita and Haegeum purely for their fictional storyline, because both have such interesting and enthralling stories! This is Min Yoongi, Suga, and Agust D in Chapter 2. I can't wait for 2025, 2026 to arrive and finally unveil Min Yoongi, Suga, and Agust D in Chapter 3.

[@Mabbynabi]

Still not over for this very raw and honest MV. It takes a lot of courage and bravery for him to be able to share his vulnerable and painful past to us.. Amygdala is part of the brain that stores our emotional responses including fear, anxiety and aggresion. In this MV, it's not scripted at all. All scenes are part of his life and truly happened. The scar in his right eye represents his trauma and tragic past. He's been through a lot. I wish him nothing but happiness and love.

Artistic mastery! Imagery hit the heart and mind. Best depiction of depression and panic attacks with self determination to crawl out! 💜✊🏽💜 healing message and love Suga for sharing 😢

[@cherylrodriguez6414]

I don’t know if this has been said but when he runs to save “AgustD” is him trying to save himself from the depression (the rain). If you go back to The Last, he admitted to a psychologist he had attempted s*ic*de. He is constantly killing AgustD because he is trying to “kill” the negative aspect of him. And AgustD always smirks because “he knows” he’ll never go away. Yoongi also said we should see Daechwita, Haegeum and the Amygdala in that same order all together. Also, I think when he says 1st choice, 2nd choice 3rd choice; could mean the times he attempted to commit s*ic*de, because he includes the phrase “best choice”. While in a state of anguish, one could think that’s the most reasonable way out.

[@kitsunerinkan]

This is what I’ve always said. You seem him staring at someone on the floor, and he makes many references to attempts to “sleep” on bathroom floors. I’ve always interpreted that, along with the line where the doctor asks if he’s had thoughts of harming himself/taking his life, (something extremely taboo in Asia that…even my own doctor had trouble discussing with me…and just handed me MORE PILLS for???), as in he’s thought back to: “should I have tried that? Should I have done that? Should I have even made the choice to pursue my dreams?” He puts a lot of pressure on himself to create his art after all, and so maybe his first choice of following his dream…does he regret how it maybe triggered him to a further downward spiral, since his parents had to travel to Seoul to see a psychiatrist that asked if he’d had thoughts of harming himself before. (Where he answers, almost sounding bitter, and amused: “many times”) I would assume that he would have tried after he’d already gone to Seoul to start as a trainee, which is…a heartbreaking thought. To have you dream so close and then to also be so conflicted.

[@joyceong946]

This is definitely a sad song as Yoongi have said. We were in Yoongi's mind while watching this. I respect him more and so proud of him sharing this to us. These are all of his memories and all the symbolism in it made me more understand and felt Yoongi's real pain. I dived deep into this mv just to understand the connection from Daechwita and Haegeum. (cause this is Agust D Trilogy) I'll just share here what I have posted at Jose's channel. You all know Jose right FAM? It was a long one actually. But it just all my interpretations. I just wanna share my thoughts cause this is so deep. Here goes FAM: What I interpreted from the last part is I think the past Yoongi who was trying to save the scarred Agust D that was not saved...I think it's because that's his old memories, unfortunately the sad and painful ones stored into his brain that present Yoongi is trying to erase or escape from. But since it is his memories, we really can't erase or escape from it however we tried to. That's why present Yoongi...our Yoongi gave up from reaching to the door cause memories is something we can't just escape from. That's why we see the present image of Yoongi trapped in that room representing his amygdala with the scar on his face still. It only means that even if he's a new happy person now...he still have all those scars he experienced in his life. Yoongi was right, this is definitely the last chapter of Agust D. Agust D was his alter ego that was angry to the world and had lots of struggles in life. He said in his several interviews that Agust D is dead now. He's now SUGA . But the very sad part for this whole storyline for me....from Agust D, D2 and D-Day songs, Yoongi all tried to kill Agust D (which he did in Haegeum), but still Agust D remained in his memories. So he still remembers the pain he's gone through from time to time. Symbolisms: the dark room: Yoongi's Amygdala Scar: Yoongi's pain from the past and present Rider Yoongi: Represent himself from the past Rider Yoongi who tried to save the trapped Yoongi: Represents our present Yoongi. Scarface Yoongi: Represents our present Yoongi which still have the scar on his face. That's my take away FAM. Sorry for this very long comment. I just wanna express what Yoongi have shared with the world and for trusting us ARMY. I love and respect this man more deeply for his bravery.

[@alinna_sa]

hey guys! thanks for the content 🫶🏼 this MV is so heartbreaking. yoongi is truly a genius and a legend!

[@melissabarnes5176]

This song had me in tears. Such a personal song for him to share with us. I'm wondering if his dad's cancer was when he was on one of the Bon Voyages. He had to leave early for a family emergency. So much to take in though. Gives you a better understanding of Min Yoongi's life. I just wanna give him a big hug. 😢

[@annaianniello1997]

You're right, it's probably that call he received in Malta....and Tae coming late because his grandmother... they went through a lot in 2017/18 and now I'm crying again

[@mlenzot7377]

It hits so hard. Before the MV when just listening to it all I can imagine is how yoongi felt during his hardship then when the MV dropped I was frozen in place nothing but tears and my heart felt sick heavy. The MV is so beautifully interpreted to his life story.

[@heartsamessgaultier8562]

I am so freakin' proud of Yoongi, this was so brave and heart wrenchingly painful. They say it's always darkest before the dawn and this was certainly dark, but we know he made it through that time, he's still with us, thank God. I believe Bangtan saved him and gave him a goal, reasons to live and then the true ARMY proved to him it was all worthwhile.

[@hotcurrypie]

Watching this so soon after MoonBin’s death, and just watching the emotional vulnerability and depth of this all had me ugly crying before it was even a minute into the song!!! All the songs on D-Day are such bangers in musicality but also lyrically!!! Min Yoongi I’m in utter awe of you sir.

[@ЛилияКан-з7о]

Это ужасно,как же ему было больно.Он один пережил всю этот боль.Шуга прекрасен,как всегда на высоте.Не болей Сахарок,желаю здоровья и процветания. Вам ребята спасибо за компанию, с вами всегда интересно смотреть. Арми вперёд поддержать наших мальчиков💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

😢🤧💜

[@solangelopez6629]

No se pueden olvidar de THE LAST, fue la primera canción en que nos cuenta ALGO de su sufrimiento, CREO que ahora que los a superado se siente preparado para contarnos todo AMO a este hombre.

[@edanaulf1345]

I can't express how much I sobbed the first time I saw this and I've now cried a second time. The fact he shared this with us...I can't even express how meaningful it was, how moving it was. Thank you Yoongi for sharing with us. Thank you for your words you two as well

[@armymomot7931]

This song and now the video has me crying! He shared such vulnerable moments and emotions! He (and BTS7) has been MY LOTUS FLOWER 🪷

[@BoraHoneyBee]

Just another reason to love him and honestly BTS as a whole. This song hit me in my soul for 2 reasons. 1) We all have pain and strife in our lives and we all have our own AMYGDALA. It's in all of us, which is why this is so powerful. 2) Yoongi has a way of telling a story that conveys directly to you and basically says "I know your pain, I see your pain, and because I have also struggled so much, I share your pain". I didn't mean to cry.. but... my soul could not help reaching out to his words and embracing them.

[@LuvOT13]

The mv made made me so emotional. And it brought up memories from a year and half ago. I think this is one of my favorite songs from the album. And I appreciate Yoongi, Agust D for opening up and telling his story. I’m glad he is doing better and he is at peace💜

[@shasan73]

I cried when I watched the mv… Just wanted to give him a hug… people always say things happen for a reason and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… when you don’t experience the pain that is all you can say… but we can never feel the pain unless we experience it ourselves…to the person going through the hurt and pain and suffering those words might sound empty… because no amount of comforting words can replace the painful experience… 😢💜

[@kitsunerinkan]

100% perfect comment 💜

[@meganw.4457]

The first album I got in the mail had images from the scooter and the basketball court, and at the time, I just guessed it was snapshots of his past. But the mv put it all together. Did you notice how he's just sitting on the basketball court after his accident? Bc the accident destroyed his chances of playing basketball on any serious level. 😢 This video and the song have given me a much deeper understanding and love of Yoongi than I imagined possible. He's already my bias (OT7 all the way!) bc we share so many sorts of trauma. But this.... Crystallized that for me. He's the strongest person I know. I look up to him so much, in spite of being older than him. Bc he's fought so hard to heal and he's an inspiration to me. He has my heart.

[@abbiem7773]

❣️Agust’D did this always confronting himself, inner thoughts and feelings, since the very beginning. If you listen or rather read lyrics to songs like Nevermind, or Tomorrow, some part of writing was even pre-debut, and especially songs like The Last from his first mixtape Agust’D. Also So Far Away. Also in his song as Suga First Love he mentions the scooter accident where he injured his shoulder. I suggest you listen or if you have relisten to this as well as other of his songs. But he’s always confronting himself. Many not only same themes being repeated but even same lyrics, Since the first mixtape Agust’D was the first time he really went even deeper, talking about many things that is actually forbidden to in Korean society at least in past, let alone thought or attempting suicide, he put it all out there, back then, even literally breaking down in tears while recording. Don’t know if this is end of Agust’D, but end of being haunted by his past and questioning himself about staying on right paths avoiding possible corruption that at times comes with success. But I believe Agust’D will always be needed because Yoongi even said himself way back, somebody needs to speak up about injustices in the world!

[@jordyn29]

I relate to the song a lot too. I'm glad that yoongi opened up, but I'm sad he's silently endured so much. He's so strong.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Yeah, I definitely teared up too. It was so genuinely raw, honest and personal and I feel honored that he chose to share his struggles with us. Unfortunately, even though we of course have our own very unique experiences and scars, I can absolutely relate to the inner battle against fear and darkness. Sadly I think we all can at some level which just serves to strenghten the bond between ARMY and BTS. This whole trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece! 💜

[@littlegwapings6181]

From the moment he wore that helmet and rode the motorcycle I knew it's going to be an emotional MV..I cried so much that I just want to hug him and thank him for holding on and thank him for letting out his feelings through the music that we now enjoy. Shout out to the fans who won the fan call event..please thank him for us..and please let him know how we appreciate his music. Amygdala is very personal and it's true love if you can share it to others. AgustD loves us so much that he shared this to us. I am still crying.I can't watch the MV yet again but I am streaming the song. ❤

[@디아나-b8r]

Сильная и откровенная вещь. Хочется обнять его и сказать :"Ты молодец, Юнги! Ты сильный и мужественный человек !"Спасибо за реакцию 💜

[@nandalemos8224]

Trauma really is a universal topic, and yoongi brought it up perfectly. Good memories tend to fade over time and bad ones come out of nowhere and repeatedly play in our brain. It's a cycle of trauma, I still can't watch the video or listen to the song without crying but I feel like this is good in a way.

[@gnaponti7928]

*Yoongui* con su producción está abriendo su ❤ sin reservas, Amygdala es ese cuarto oscuro donde están todas esas emociones que deseamos borrar, pero se conservan xq son necesarias para afrontar la vida. Realmente me conmovió profundamente😢

[@krystell84]

This song is so relatable. I cry everytime I watch it. It triggers me and my trauma but I keep coming back to the video. He did turn into a lotus flower but also he couldn't save himself. 😭 I hope he performs this song when he debuts on Jimmy Fallon. People and Amygdala, my 2 favorite Agust D songs.

[@lindapellerito8059]

What hits me hard is that it's always been Yoongi who never tried to reveal much about himself. And now...this. I think that the episodes on Suchwita either reflected the video he had already made (thus the lyrics were written, plans are being made) or gave himself permission to reveal all. I've always felt that Yoongi lives as a "speak softly and carry a big stick" kind of guy - He's always been relatively quiet but when he speaks you can believe every single syllable. Just my opinion but I think Yoongi is the surprise break out of the 7 soloists. It's not just the surprise of the depth of his talent - it's the variety, it's the lyrics, it's the trust he has in the fans to finally, really know him. It's like you and me revealing all our personal history, including the mistakes, including the "I was only putting on a happy face because this is what was really going on". What I'm grateful for is that in this time of revelations, Yoongi is extending so much to others - Jimin especially, but also to every one of those who accepted his invitation to be on Suchwita. It's a profound, emphatic and very deliberate turning of the page by..him. He's ready to let go

[@marygracetecson3230]

I was crying the whole time watching this MV the first time because this shows that he literally experienced a lot too and the pain, challenges and disappointments in the past were just too much to bear for him, thus the scar. I fully understand now Daechwita, Haegum and Amygdala, the trilogy. But now D-Day has come. That mindset to focus in the present not your past nor future. He mentioned that he is now in a better mental state. Yoongi is brave enough to share it so it could shed some light and bring inspiration that we can also overcome our dark days. I'm just glad that Yoongi did not give up and has survived and is still with us today.

[@melindabartolazo116]

The trust that Yoongi puts in us ARMY is humbling. He is an absolute genius! He is also very strong and wise and I have so much respect for him! He deserves every good thing that comes to him in life. He is so much more than a musician and artist. He is a global therapist! The video was stunning! I love this man!

[@bellabellsbell]

We saw the raw, real pieces here. We saw Yoongi, the boy with a dream. We saw Suga, that dream realized but still with joy and purpose just out of reach emotionally. We saw Agust D, the part of him he uses as a shield and to dig deep and find his strength. I have cried every single time I've watched this video and I cried along with ya'll too. Knowing what you went through with your mom hit home for me. We lost my mom on Christmas Eve 2014, and in 2018, at one of the darkest points in my life, I found BTS and they saved my life. It was an honor to experience this music video with you both and I'm sending all my love and support your way and to the Watcher Fam.

[@sandra-pk7tk]

Crying everytime the moment the present suga tried to save the past himself. Hes a fighter and he survived them. 😢

[@lisalabour2076]

I’ve watched the MV multiple times now and I’m still processing, there is so much to unpack with the lyrics and in the video. If you are going through that dark place remember it is possible to emerge from the darkness. Yoongi is so brave to share this with us. 💜💜💜

[@Jo.S-2]

I've watched this video a few times but it gets me every time. Suddenly tears are rolling down in my face!! So beautiful and powerful 💜 Thanks a lot guys 💜

Top reaction. I have no more words for Yoongi and this MV, and the whole album in general. He has proven yet again why he is a genius. Thank you for your reaction! 💜💜💜

[@jendiademalleyhart3027]

So, he doesn’t want to kill the king, he wants to save him? Fucking deep, man. I sobbed watching the Mv. So much solidarity here…

La valentía de Yoongi es un gran ejemplo! Me alegra verlo ahora disfrutando más todo lo que le gusta hacer, sin duda me hace feliz.

This song is hauntingly beautiful!!!! I can't imagine how hard it must have been to reenact his car accident...This is my favorite song off the album!!!!!! #OT7 #D-DAY

[@chellessong1576]

Yes!!!! Amygdala had me in tears!!! The Agust D persona was definitely born from his trials and traumas to make himself stronger and help himself cope through those dark times. Suga is ….what can we say??? We already know he’s a genius! But this!!! This whole album is 🔥 🔥🔥

[@sammysamsam2992]

The moment I saw him in the motorcycle I knew this is going to hurt, and I'm not wrong, the tears I shed for this music video never ends. :( I really hope Suga feels so much better now.

[@chalceeze1285]

Agust D never shies away from letting us in. He took us through his mind in "The Last", his anger in "Agust D", fight for freedom in "Daechwita" and "Haegeum" and now "Amygdala". I'm just happy that he has overcome most of his struggles and can look back at them now as just memories. We'll keep rooting for him.

[@min_sofyhian]

This is why he is my biad, i cant stop my tears....his whole MV was his past , his training time, his struggles, his accident, his depression, his anxiety, his suicide attempts, his birth story...etc everything are here...its lyrics are raw & deep.... Thank you for telling us your story...this song & mv is a big shock for us

[@lisaspradlin3602]

A fucking masterpiece!! I have never had a mv touch me. Only Suga could do this.I thank Suga for trusting us with his life story 💜

[@rocio982]

El mv , la letra , la lirica , su voz , su actuacion y la historia que nos transmitio y conto . Todo es realmente increible y admirable

[@RGale60]

In Daechwita, he talks about pill popping, I now wonder if he was referring to the darker side of himself. (during the injured shoulder time) I wonder if he questioned his own skills too. This battle has been against himself in all 3 songs of the trilogy. I believe he’s through the worst. He’s so freaking talented, amazing work. 💜

[@kitsunerinkan]

Ooooh, I never thought about that. He has another song where he does so as well, too, on one of the mix tapes. Is it Give It To Me?

[@MarinaP-s6i]

I can't watch it without tears....... I just feel how hard it was for our Suga...... AMYGDALA IS THE BEST SONG THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD...... A LESSON FOR ALL OF US 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Me either!😢😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@VK.x]

I’m a Psychology Professor in UK. It’s understandable if your heart feels heavy but, shows he’s now at peace & able to share it, as it was. I’am proud as a Psych. I hope all we talk to, no matter how long it may take, they come out the other end & don’t give up. Anyone struggling use this to help heal, he’s not just done this for himself, to let Army in but, to also send the message don’t suffer in silence. I cried when I watched this & so proud of this gent. Stay blessed all🙏💜🧿

[@elsaapostol8486]

Heartbreaking to watch but im happy Yoongi overcame all of those pain and struggles and emerged as a strong and resilient person as he is now. Love u Yoongi and thank you for sharing your painful story to us. Thanks Fam for this reaction.

[@audra_marie]

Each time I watch this MV I just cry, it’s just so painful but so beautiful at the same time. I was not expecting this MV to hit so hard until I was crying at my desk at work yesterday. I admire him for sharing all of this with us, and hope that he knows he really is helping those that are struggling every day. He truly is helping. 💜

[@jayjaydaily3932]

The music video was good I am so proud of Yoongi being so open about this I can’t imagine how hard it was to film this. The imagery so deep. As someone who struggles with mental illness it hits so close to home. He did amazing I’m so proud of him. I hope Army going to the concert and doing Fancall can really tell him he made and how much we love and respect him. I truly want signs to be up that says your music saved me I think it would be so powerful.

[@irmariscruz2720]

Thanks for reacting..it's a difficult MV to watch but I think some if not most really needed to hear and watch this song

[@Etricia6101]

Hi Guys, I saw the MV last night and I literally burst out into tears.... Knowing that everything that happened here is true with Agust D, Yoongi. SUGA describes his past in this MV and it as well identifies how "WE" as individuals have been going through... Hence he was saying to RM that their music speaks to ARMY and that is WHY we are here, and that is WHY he writes music.... I could completely resonated into each & every lyrics he wrote and sang, I was so heart broken. The MV is as GOOD as what he is displaying it to us so wonderfully with his raw lyrics... Thank you for sharing your past with us SUGA... We love you and appreciate you.. Thank you for your reaction Nico & Team. We know how much you guys love BTS 💜💜

[@elenamartin6894]

The song is SO GOOD and the music video left me speechless. I'm so thankful for this song and MV. A lot of us can relate to what he's saying... It made me emotional.

[@cynstargirl777]

I cried my eyes out on this MV. I relate and I feel what SUGA gone thru in his life. (It hits different when his actually telling his story…FINALLY) as I watch your guys reaction. I just started crying again. I feel this song. So deep and so personal🫶💜🫶🦋✨

[@samsandoval8972]

This song just hit me hard when I heard it first! But with the video I had the most cathartic cry!!! The entire album is amazing and we are so blessed for SUGA and BTS! Without their music or message I wonder if I would have been able to make it!! Love Watcher Fam!! ❤❤❤ much love to all!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@jaelove.bts7]

I cried when I first watched it and it honestly scared me a little when they showed him getting hit by the car. And the imagery really made this song hit harder for sure and I still tear up everytime I watch this... Trauma really does feel like this, something you can't escape. I experienced a similar thing a year ago when my grandmother passed away. I woke up feeling hurt so many times but BTS really helped me through that time in my life. ofc, it's still difficult to think abt sometimes but they always make it better. I'm glad he was able to show us this even though I remember him saying how painful it was to work on this song in the documentary. But he still pulled through it. I want him to know truly we'll always be there for him

[@kseniagoksel]

I can't imagine HOW MUCH we don't know about BTS members struggles 😢😢😢😢😢 The most honest Min Yoongi let the truth out again

God! This man! The struggles, pain, suffering his been through, it pains me thinking about all of it. My eyes can't stop tearing, and it tears my heart. This right here was Yoongi the vulnerable and fragile one speaking to us.

[@lexx2580]

This mv hit so close to home for me. All the trauma and loss I’ve experienced made this song especially heartbreaking to hear and the mv had me in tears, but something Yoongi always manages to do is make music that feels like a release. Like he’s saying, it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to rage and want to forget the past but you push through and become an better version of yourself through your experiences. He really understands the human condition and I’m so glad he’s let us in on his journey. Thank you for the reaction L💜

[@cameliab6946]

This mv is really all of the struggles he went through and made him that scar ....that's why he is asking the part of his brain (amygdala) to erase all of this emotions but then we see yoongi trying to save his past self and past yoongi trying to save his future self but at the end none of two can open the door, they just have to accept it

[@emmaskyye1452]

His Amygdala MV was so emotional for me, for him, for everyone who has struggled mentally ❤ The end of his concert, Suga finally opened and left through that door!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
