I have never encountered a musician who loves and breathes music as deeply as he does. Even Sakamoto and others have commented on it. He was told to write a song about his first love and he did it about his Piano. His raw passion and the way he just bares his soul the pain and successes. Shadow was listed in an article in Vulture Mag where they asked the top 10 mixing engineers whats the most difficult or complex song they ever worked on was and one of the guys works with BTS and says their songs are always ridiculous because of how many tracks adlibs and sounds they use. Shadow was the song he found the most challenging. AgustD actually mixed all his own songs on his first mixtape. He is often so DAMN intense and talented. I've seen ALOT of videos of other idols talking about BTS and all the members but I've rarely heard them mention him. I think he truly intimidates them on another level. Which is funny because he's so friendly and encouraging of his younger artists. Unless he's being goofy like in That That.
I speak about this often! I don't think we'd have a Yoongi if he didn't have music. It's truly his passion. I've never seen someone be as vulnerable on stage as Yoongi. The way he feels it so deeply that he literally sobs. I feel so lucky that he chooses to share so much of himself with us. People say he's cold or unfeeling, but I think he is the most emotional of the members. He just shows it differently. I find it so beautiful the way he conveys how he feels. People think he's a tough guy because of some of his music, but to me he seems so soft and gentle.
Yoongi is the first rapper to ever make me cry. I'm not even into rap but his raw lyrics has touched me in many ways. He is so passionate. He breathes and live for his music. I relate to him so much that is why he is my ult bias, and the other 6 are my bias wreckers.
Extra info about The Last for you... As most ARMY know Suga has suffered for many years with depression, anxiety and compulsion (OCD). After his panic attack had canceled the concert in Kobe, that he was refering to in The Last, Suga went back to the venue when it was empty to reflect, he then had a short break , and wrote a long letter for ARMY (translation below) ... Hello, this is Suga. Many people were curious as to what I was doing on my break, and to simply put it, I walked a lot, slept a lot and thought a lot. I wanted to go on a trip to organize my thoughts before working on my mixtape. I also had a place I must go to. I wanted to do things I was able to do not as a 22-year old BTS’ Suga, but as a 22-year old Min Yoongi. It was a time where I looked back at myself. The things I will say now are things I wanted to share not as a singer to a fan or as BTS to ARMY, but to talk to you as human to human. I've always wanted to be a cool person to a lot of people. Having rational thoughts and making rational decisions in any situations. I wanted to live like my father. My father said to take a look around you when there's something to be happy about. Be calm and make rational decisions when happy. The first day when "I need u" got 1st place, I took a look at my surroundings. Every minute I'm happy, I acted as if I'm not. When I'm sad I acted as if I'm not. Even if I like it, I acted as if I don't like it. I pretended to be cold-hearted and pretended to be strong. If a joy is shared, it will be doubled but if a sadness is shared, it won't get smaller. That's what I thought. I know I'm a person who's bad at expressing my emotions but I've been living that way and I thought it's right. One day, I can't exactly remember when, I was in a car with my father and he said "Yoongi, don't live like me". The first day of vacation. The first day ever since I was born, I drank with my family. It has been 6 years since I left home. We were all just chatting, listening to stories that we haven't heard of. The strong and cool father that I know, knows how to feel hurt and sad, how to feel happy and love.. 1.5-pyeong in the practice room, my studio is my wide meadows and narrow prison. I can do anything and at the same time, I can't really do anything. I can work on music thoughtlessly for 20 hours, but I can also sit there and not do anything but just thinking for 20 hours. I was 11 years old when I first started writing my own lyrics. When I listen to good music, I will feel really excited and I feel really happy more than anything. To me, music is my hope and my happiness, I also want to be someone's hope and happiness. Actually I'm someone who would just walk away rather to crash and feel pain. Anyone hates being hurt and I don't want to get hurt. In "Nevermind", "If you feel like you a going to crash then accelerate more". Perharps, that's actually what I wanted to say to myself. The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things. The second day of the concert in Kobe... I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat. Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing. It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what. So there was just one place to go. I went to Kobe during my break. Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer. So I just went to Kobe without planning. It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert. The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert. The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform. I hate becoming a numb person. I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person. That’s why I visited the venues again on my own. (T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans) I liked being on stage, and I still do. When I was 15 and performed in front of 2 people I stood proudly and made eye contact with them during my performance. However after my debut I feel that I have not been righteous towards myself. I think it may be because I knew better than anyone that I wasn’t perfect. And then on the day of the first performance of HYYH on stage I made proud eye contact with the audience that I didn’t do in quite a while. But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again. I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day. From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being. I’m a person who is weak but acts strong. Once again I realized that I was a person who’s lacking. Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all, at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb. To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important. "Whether you're young or old, whether you have a hidden child, It doesn't matter", haven't I said this already. That day, we unexpectedly had a Music Bank broadcast and I boarded a plane and returned a day before planned. I returned after organizing my many thoughts. Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. This is the moment I realizied the fact that 22-year old Min Yoongi, who hates being an adult, is standing in front of the threshold to being an adult. Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY. Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself. Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being. I love you, ARMY.
@christinebaukus8281 from memory, Suga posted it on twitter a couple of weeks after the concert was cancelled... I can send you a link where ARMY discussed what it was like to have attended that concert and the concern ARMY had for what was going on. 💜
Thank you so much for this 🥺💜 Just recently become an ARMY when Bangtan preparing for enlistment and hiatus. I'm so emotional reading this, can't imagine how army felt that time, especially who attended that concert in Kobe. But I feel relieved also that Yoongi released Amygdala, I'm happy he's on this journey to healing, love him and all of them so much 💜💜
@astrid0102 💜welcome to ARMY... i hope you are enjoying your journey down the BTS rabbit hole💜💜.... 🤣one thing everyone learns about the fandom is the way we have archived so much information through their journey... There are some places you can refer to for extra info.. I highly recommend Rise of Bangtan series for all Baby ARMY as it gives a good overview... BTSWIKI is also a great place for info.... or just ask someone in the comments section, ARMY love sharing the knowledge we have with new ARMY💜 Honestly watching Yoongi’s journey over the years has been more than just inspiring, his music, especially this song, literally saved my life... I will forever be grateful to him for sharing his soul with us all.💜💜
The song First Love is why there are several BTS videos with Yoongi and a brown piano in them. These songs are a large part of why ARMY says that Yoongi raps with his soul, while RM raps with his mind and Hobi raps with his heart. Yoongi is so raw and honest with his lyrics that he makes me cry with empathy, especially the first time I hear them. Even with First Love and Shadow, which are technically part of the BTS discography, not Yoongi's solo music.
Yoongi is a special being ! I saw him live during his D-Day tour, and let me tell you, it was worth my ticket price, my hotel price, my 8 h drive to NY, my anticipation, it was worth everything I spent ! And I would do it again, and again. The feelings I felt during this concert, i have never felt before watching a show. Not even The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, etc can compare. Gabbsi, I’ve been subscribed for a while now, and I still don’t know where you are from, nor can I place that cute accent of yours. Where are you from? I’m from 🇨🇦
sometimes i listen to the last and i- i dont know how to express myself it's so raw it feels like im looking at yoongi for the first time every time i hear it w lyrics infront of me i love him so much?
this was the perfect lineup of songs for sure! it was like the youthful 'give it to me' i want everything anger and desire to just take whatever success he can get...then the dark side of it showing the demons he needs to battle and the fight to break through it in the last...to the reflection of how music has been with him through all of those hard times and will continue to be his guardian through everything in first love....to again reflecting back in shadow to how he wanted to be the top and he wanted to be a star (give it to me) but it's lonely and dark and frightening at the top now that he's there and keeps climbing and sees what it's like, yet he's accepting that he is both the one wanting more fame and the one afraid of it all at once in Shadow.
Amazing, amazing reaction. I believe everyone should experience Min Yoongi. I am 73, and l hated rap, but discovering Yoongi was transformative, both in my life and in my musical appreciations. He is genius, but also inspirational on a personal level. In my personal opinion I believe that most of the older ARMY are Yoongi biased. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was right there with you during The Last, even though I've heard it many times. It is gut wrenching. Many many people, including me, know what it feels like to be at this level of desperation at some point during their life. Most of us don't have the capacity to express it like this. The chills washed over me once again as I recognized my younger self in parts of the lyric. I am thankful he has come through his pain & emerged as the man he is today. I am thankful I survived my own past as well. If anyone reading this is in the middle of their turmoil now, please know that things can change & improve in your life. Your now does not have to be your forever. Even if it feels impossible in the moment... someday. Please hold on to whatever hope you can find & hang on for your someday. And for those who have not experienced such angst, or have already come through it, please be a safe harbor for those who are still hurting. One kind word can change someone's life. 💜
Mere words are not enough for what I feel about Yoongi's artistry. Music lives within him. It will be forever in his soul. All members are unanimous in their saying that Yoongi lives and breathes music. He is at his happiest doing music. Maybe the accident with his shoulder was meant to happen because I wonder how things would have been if he had to do 18mo in the base without his workroom to go back to at the end of each day. It will be like removing the air that he breathes. We love you, Min Yoongi. Stay safe and healthy.
omg welcome back baee! your reactions are always my favorites istg aah I feel like yoongi is truly the definition of an artist, he's not only my favorite artist but also my favorite person like he's just too real like too human yk and he shows that through his music, he connects with people's hearts... not to mention that he's the sweetest and most caring person ever, words aren't enough to express how much I respect admire and love him. His music literally saves me every day, he will forever be my #1 source of strength and the most treasured person in my heart ❤🩹
The Last made me cry so much i felt sick because tbh I struggle myself with anxiety and depression and this song...the raw emotions in his voice and the details...i don't think I've heard another song quite capture those emotions the way this does. and one thing I LOVE about it is how it shifts from being open and vulnerable about the struggles in the beginning to this angry triumphant f you I made it victory march at the end. like the WHO"S DONE AS MUCH AS ME?! Part he is just fighting through it all and standing tall on the other side. He is such a genius for real. If you get a chance to see his show you should see if you can watch one of the days he livestreamed the full show...it was so great. his discography is so excellent.
skipping the explaining of Jung theory about Shadow, since you've watch the explained video, i just want to point out some things i don't remember being mentioned there these are just my thoughts and connections yoongi in black - the shadow - is hidden behind a cracked mirror in which we see yoongi in white. that means, the shadow is suppressed, but because of this, life goes at the seams and it is very difficult to maintain balance and not go crazy. later in the video we see a microphone breaking the glass, possibly the same mirror that was holding yoongi's shadow. he has said more than once that music is his personal therapy and a way to deal with emotions, so here it acts as a weapon of change we see men in black standing in front of closed doors. these are all components of the shadow, and they are all suppressed into the unconscious, but they are angry, they become larger in number and more difficult to contain. and yoongi lets them out, opening all the doors at once, and then in the lyrics he immediately reveals the truth about his fears - i think that's a very interesting correlation of visual and textual content we see the red thing growing on the walls. the inspiration for this might have came from an installation by a sculptor Anish Kapoor called Svayambh (Selfmade). The sculptor explained that the point is to show the process of self-creation of an object. "I put a block of wax on rails and moved it around the building. So it takes the shape of the doors, it’s as if it’s skinning itself as it goes through the doors. It looks like the building itself is pushing it out of itself." later in the video we see yoongi moving down this corridor as if on rails. he is in the process of self-creation as the rap changes its tone, we see yoongi who stands on the stage meeting yoongi in black who stands in the crowd. this is when he meets the shadow face to face, and as it happens all the previous lines "I want to be a star, I want to be a king" gain one final new wish: "I want to be me"
I've missed your reactions! Yoongi is so special. You can't help but love him. The Last and First Love give me chills every time I hear them and without fail I always tear up! Also the two fun videos were great! I love how his mindset in the second one is "fake it til you make it". XD
Right Place, Wrong Person,” BTS member RM’s second solo album is out on MAY 24TH, 1 PM KST PRE-RELEASE -"COME BACK TO ME" OUT ON 10TH MAY, 1PM KST “Right Place, Wrong Person” is an 11-track album that captures some of the universal emotions that we all experience at some point in life, such as the feeling of being an outsider who doesn’t fit in. The album falls within the alternative genre, boasting a rich sound coupled with frank, honest lyrics. Your anticipation and support for RM and his second solo album “Right Place, Wrong Person” would be much appreciated.
i missed you. yoongi is not just a great artist & songwriter but a good story teller. he so genuine, honest, straight to the point and with no filter. i really i admire him a lot. anyway, pls check out jhope new album which is 'hots' it's masterpice.
Amo tus reacciones. Lástima que no entiendo del todo bien el inglés hablado. Me va mejor cuando hay subtitulos. Pero de igual manera amo la atención que pones a los detalles y tus análisis. Eres brillante! 💜
It is truly a pleasure to see you every time you react to Yoongi's content, he is my bias and beyond that he is a person who I see as an example to follow, each of his songs helped me overcome hard situations, I still remember the first time I listened to the last & first love, until now there's no way to not cry with his songs
I love Yoongi. In Schwita he is so compassionate, so insightful when talking to the guests. I was not surprised. He observes and thinks a lot before saying something. And it is always so meaningful. 💜💜💜 He is my bias. I love OT7. But I have a special spot for him in my hearth.
Yoongis rap is the only one that actually gets me truly emotional. It’s so truthful it hurts. The Last is still one of my favorite lyrics and songs, it’s one of the ones that made me think that “this guy is for real.”
Thank you for this video! I love Yoongi so much and even if it's hard to make a choice, The Last, First Love and Interlude: Shadow are definitively in my top 10 if not my top 5 of Yoongi's songs. And yeah I remember the first time I listened to The Last, I felt pretty much as you did. I couldn't even listen to the whole song in one take, I had to pause, I was crying and feeling like I'd been punched in the guts. And even now, I've listened to it countless 'times but every time I have to kinda brace myself before hitting 'play' and I feel owerwelmed by so many emotions. I cry for his younger self, I feel proud and happy for him for all he's accomplished and overcome, I still worry for him and want to tell him "it's gonna be okay" (because even if I think he's in a much better mental place now depression is not something you truly overcome), I think most of all I'm in awe of him and the courage it takes to share something so personal and to show his vunerability like this. And I'm so grateful and still can't believe that he gave us a live version, that he chose to close his concerts with The Last.
The last es una obra maestra, hay que escucharla varias veces para ver todo lo que tiene, pero First Love uff, esa me hizo llorar. la guitarra al final es buenisima
Cont... Good reaction(First Love), ty. I hope u watch the MV too. Yes, its BU connected. This is so deep. But that is the norm for Suga. All his solo stuff is deep. I adore his voice. His a master of it. It's a cinematic score. Ha, that is brilliant. Love songs with feels and this one got plenty. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 UwU ToTheMax said on 12.18.20 In the song he uses 2 voices, one is himself and the other is the piano. The piano/music was his first passion and his first friend. Its the piano that's saying “kid you can do it”, the piano is his friend someone/something he relies on. He talks about how he grew up taller than the piano and mentions neglecting it at a point in time but even though he neglected the piano and wanted to give up, the piano was always there for me. That passion and comfort that he got from the piano never left. It's about the relationship between a piano and a pianist basically. Personally I think this song is more valuable when it comes to Suga himself and not the storyline. The clips shown in the video is more about the storyline. And also this song makes me super emotional. I recommend listening to it multiple times and read the lyrics again to catch the small things. MCricelli said on 8/3/2019 He's said in interviews that this song is very personal to him and that he cried a lot while recording it. He even said that growing up his piano was kind of like his only friend. if you listen closely he used the takes of him crying in the background of some points of the song. Cynthia Perez said on 8/3/2019 it was in Burn the Stage that Suga talked about the accident. He was a trainee then and worked part time making deliveries. He was hit by a car. He said he remembered looking up and the grill was right there in front of his face. His shoulder was broken (clavicle), but he kept it a secret because he thought Big Hit would let him go. He endured the pain for days until they finally discovered what had happened. Shows what a great company Big Hit is.... when they discovered he had been working part time to pay for tuition, they told him to stop and that they would pay it for him. Since that time he's had a little difficulty with certain dance moves. Beatriz said on 8/3/2019 His first love is the piano. It represents the way he started in his passion for the music. The whistle was to the tune of Jungkook's song begin. I don't understand but I love u is actually a Seventeen reference. It's their song. So the army was a carat. Aww. That was a nice video. I have never seen it before. Sweet.
They don't start from 0, they start from -0. This is the truth. They come from companies that have been sued and are on the verge of bankruptcy because they don't have the money to fight the lawsuit. At that time, they were the only ones who made money for the company. But they fought until they finally won the case...😊
Cont... Hi, i am back. Good reaction(The Last), ty. This one has so much feels. Gosh. Glad u liked it. His so raw and brutally honest. He never hid from us but we still don't know him fully. He always impresses me. =0} Hugs. #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💜 Barbara Adson said on 9.20.21 "I want to erase that day of performance" is the concert in Kobe in 2015, which was cancelled. He couldn't perform because of panic attack, after that he had a short break and later he wrote a letter on fancafe for ARMY, revealing his feelings. It is very open and has a lot of information that helps to understand him. Here is a translation: Hello, this is Suga.

You know... Sorry to other groups fans If they are offended by my opinion but i would like to spit a fact that. This is rap ... Bruhhhh BTS has the best rap line. I would call them death line... Dude...... They killlll it on stage.. and then this Guy.. i love j -hope ,i love RM,i love yoongii but sometimes they make me think that i guess RM is a better rapper ( flow), next time yoongi makes me think nobody raps better than hi ( performance) next time i think their is a weird swag in j- hope which draws me inn.... Idk.. They are not just in a race where rapper has to spit fastest & more syllables in Per... Sec They can do it don't misunderstand them but its just they realised and complying wht music is about and they are rapping with that emotion which people are not doing it that much nowadays... In kpop scene Also one key thing i mean there are many but one of the key thing that makes them the best in the business is lyricism... Come onnn man. I can write an essay about them
You are very late in posting a new video. I check your channel every day to watch your reaction to BTS. Your channel is my favorite. There is nothing better than watching your clips about BTS every weekend.
Hi babe, i know you love Monica Naranjo. Please, react to "Doble Corazon", "Europa", "Ahora, ahora" ... there are a lot of songs that you can enjoy. Move on.
Please don't cover it so much with the "copyright" screensaver. Interest in watching is greatly lost. These videos are public, which means they don’t have to be hidden! 🙏
OMG, Suga is the king of liers! He lies all the bloody time. Lord. He said he was fine and his cold went away fast. But after the tour he said he was ill for months. 0.0 What bull is this. He has a history man. Tsk, lol.
Hi, I am back. Good reaction. ty. Give It To Me continues from Agust D the 1st song u heard. Suga is known within the fandom as a savage rapper. He always has bars! Like this beat. He killed it. I love his rap. He so cute too. =0p I watch Anthony Ray and Knox Hill reactions to learn more about rap. It's really interesting. stay safe. hugs. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 @nihiramishra503 said on 3/5/24 Suga is referencing "It Doesn't Matter" (a.k.a. SSaihanuwar), a song released in October 2013. The word "SSaihanuwar" is repeated several times (background vocals). Agust D lines, "...I’m embarrassed about “SSaihanuwar” We sell half a million copies in a year now" is referring to the above song. In "It Doesn't Matter", Suga brags their album sold 30,000 copies. @Dashu11954 said on 3/5/24 This is the continuation of his previous song and music video “agust d” we see a different side of him thank you for this reaction love it❤ also suga says “suga” “yoongi” and “agust d” is all part of “him” except suga is the bts part of him and agust d is the part where there is some things he cannot say as part of bts it is a more “uncensored” a “raw” part of him also if you see their earlier songs either bts or suga himself or rm or jimin or other members etc you can see they have so much “drive” to want for more things and later we see them grow as we grow (of course to this day they have so much drive but we could really see the rawness of their drive and work back then) and suga later released a song called “interlude shadow” where he kind of talked about the dark sides of fame he thought success solve everything but it’s different than what he imagined and it does not solve everything also his song “the last” talked about it and JHope's song arson talking about after he calms down and recalls the past we see them reminiscing and videos of jimin who talked about he was a little bit “lost” somewhat and asked why he worked so hard why 7 people come together and work so hard and then he remembered seeing army's in crow we see their thoughts as they grow into a bigger artist they are today that’s why I love them so much they write their own songs and we see how their music change over time the lyrics becoming more philosophical etc Edit: Oh yeah your right! It all kind of ties together suga debut his solo “agust d” where he is blonde later he shot his blonde self with the black color hair in the song “daechwita” to kll his past self” kind of. Also I am kind of like you before bts, I don't really listen to rap but now I am a rapline bias and the reason is because I feel like bts rap is not really the typical” western rap where it is a women, dr _gs, etc but the lyrics is very deep and intricate and I love researching in some of the references they mention since some of them like writing in double meanings (also forgot the mention there is also the “prod. By suga” of him he uses this name for his credits when he write songs/ produced songs for other artists like PSY, halsey, and Max etc and it is crazy to see how versatile he is how the songs he produce for other artists is so different from his own etc.
I have never encountered a musician who loves and breathes music as deeply as he does. Even Sakamoto and others have commented on it. He was told to write a song about his first love and he did it about his Piano. His raw passion and the way he just bares his soul the pain and successes. Shadow was listed in an article in Vulture Mag where they asked the top 10 mixing engineers whats the most difficult or complex song they ever worked on was and one of the guys works with BTS and says their songs are always ridiculous because of how many tracks adlibs and sounds they use. Shadow was the song he found the most challenging. AgustD actually mixed all his own songs on his first mixtape. He is often so DAMN intense and talented. I've seen ALOT of videos of other idols talking about BTS and all the members but I've rarely heard them mention him. I think he truly intimidates them on another level. Which is funny because he's so friendly and encouraging of his younger artists. Unless he's being goofy like in That That.
I speak about this often! I don't think we'd have a Yoongi if he didn't have music. It's truly his passion. I've never seen someone be as vulnerable on stage as Yoongi. The way he feels it so deeply that he literally sobs. I feel so lucky that he chooses to share so much of himself with us. People say he's cold or unfeeling, but I think he is the most emotional of the members. He just shows it differently. I find it so beautiful the way he conveys how he feels. People think he's a tough guy because of some of his music, but to me he seems so soft and gentle.
Yoongi is the first rapper to ever make me cry. I'm not even into rap but his raw lyrics has touched me in many ways. He is so passionate. He breathes and live for his music. I relate to him so much that is why he is my ult bias, and the other 6 are my bias wreckers.
Extra info about The Last for you...
As most ARMY know Suga has suffered for many years with depression, anxiety and compulsion (OCD). After his panic attack had canceled the concert in Kobe, that he was refering to in The Last, Suga went back to the venue when it was empty to reflect, he then had a short break , and wrote a long letter for ARMY (translation below) ...
Hello, this is Suga. Many people were curious as to what I was doing on my break, and to simply put it, I walked a lot, slept a lot and thought a lot. I wanted to go on a trip to organize my thoughts before working on my mixtape. I also had a place I must go to. I wanted to do things I was able to do not as a 22-year old BTS’ Suga, but as a 22-year old Min Yoongi. It was a time where I looked back at myself.
The things I will say now are things I wanted to share not as a singer to a fan or as BTS to ARMY, but to talk to you as human to human.
I've always wanted to be a cool person to a lot of people. Having rational thoughts and making rational decisions in any situations. I wanted to live like my father. My father said to take a look around you when there's something to be happy about. Be calm and make rational decisions when happy.
The first day when "I need u" got 1st place, I took a look at my surroundings. Every minute I'm happy, I acted as if I'm not. When I'm sad I acted as if I'm not. Even if I like it, I acted as if I don't like it. I pretended to be cold-hearted and pretended to be strong. If a joy is shared, it will be doubled but if a sadness is shared, it won't get smaller. That's what I thought. I know I'm a person who's bad at expressing my emotions but I've been living that way and I thought it's right.
One day, I can't exactly remember when, I was in a car with my father and he said "Yoongi, don't live like me". The first day of vacation. The first day ever since I was born, I drank with my family. It has been 6 years since I left home. We were all just chatting, listening to stories that we haven't heard of. The strong and cool father that I know, knows how to feel hurt and sad, how to feel happy and love..
1.5-pyeong in the practice room, my studio is my wide meadows and narrow prison. I can do anything and at the same time, I can't really do anything. I can work on music thoughtlessly for 20 hours, but I can also sit there and not do anything but just thinking for 20 hours.
I was 11 years old when I first started writing my own lyrics. When I listen to good music, I will feel really excited and I feel really happy more than anything.
To me, music is my hope and my happiness, I also want to be someone's hope and happiness. Actually I'm someone who would just walk away rather to crash and feel pain. Anyone hates being hurt and I don't want to get hurt. In "Nevermind", "If you feel like you a going to crash then accelerate more". Perharps, that's actually what I wanted to say to myself.
The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things.
The second day of the concert in Kobe... I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat. Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing. It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what. So there was just one place to go.
I went to Kobe during my break. Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer. So I just went to Kobe without planning. It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert. The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert. The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform.
I hate becoming a numb person. I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person. That’s why I visited the venues again on my own.
(T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans)
I liked being on stage, and I still do. When I was 15 and performed in front of 2 people I stood proudly and made eye contact with them during my performance. However after my debut I feel that I have not been righteous towards myself. I think it may be because I knew better than anyone that I wasn’t perfect. And then on the day of the first performance of HYYH on stage I made proud eye contact with the audience that I didn’t do in quite a while.
But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again.
I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day. From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being. I’m a person who is weak but acts strong.
Once again I realized that I was a person who’s lacking. Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all, at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb.
To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important. "Whether you're young or old, whether you have a hidden child, It doesn't matter", haven't I said this already.
That day, we unexpectedly had a Music Bank broadcast and I boarded a plane and returned a day before planned. I returned after organizing my many thoughts.
Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. This is the moment I realizied the fact that 22-year old Min Yoongi, who hates being an adult, is standing in front of the threshold to being an adult.
Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY. Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself. Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being.
I love you, ARMY.
What a letter! I'd never seen this, thank you.
Thank you for posting this beautiful letter, I don’t know where you sourced it, but I’m sure there are a lot of ARMYs who haven’t read it.
@christinebaukus8281 from memory, Suga posted it on twitter a couple of weeks after the concert was cancelled... I can send you a link where ARMY discussed what it was like to have attended that concert and the concern ARMY had for what was going on.
💜
Thank you so much for this 🥺💜 Just recently become an ARMY when Bangtan preparing for enlistment and hiatus. I'm so emotional reading this, can't imagine how army felt that time, especially who attended that concert in Kobe.
But I feel relieved also that Yoongi released Amygdala, I'm happy he's on this journey to healing, love him and all of them so much 💜💜
@astrid0102 💜welcome to ARMY... i hope you are enjoying your journey down the BTS rabbit hole💜💜.... 🤣one thing everyone learns about the fandom is the way we have archived so much information through their journey... There are some places you can refer to for extra info.. I highly recommend Rise of Bangtan series for all Baby ARMY as it gives a good overview... BTSWIKI is also a great place for info.... or just ask someone in the comments section, ARMY love sharing the knowledge we have with new ARMY💜
Honestly watching Yoongi’s journey over the years has been more than just inspiring, his music, especially this song, literally saved my life... I will forever be grateful to him for sharing his soul with us all.💜💜
The song First Love is why there are several BTS videos with Yoongi and a brown piano in them. These songs are a large part of why ARMY says that Yoongi raps with his soul, while RM raps with his mind and Hobi raps with his heart. Yoongi is so raw and honest with his lyrics that he makes me cry with empathy, especially the first time I hear them. Even with First Love and Shadow, which are technically part of the BTS discography, not Yoongi's solo music.
Yoongi is a special being ! I saw him live during his D-Day tour, and let me tell you, it was worth my ticket price, my hotel price, my 8 h drive to NY, my anticipation, it was worth everything I spent ! And I would do it again, and again. The feelings I felt during this concert, i have never felt before watching a show. Not even The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, etc can compare. Gabbsi, I’ve been subscribed for a while now, and I still don’t know where you are from, nor can I place that cute accent of yours. Where are you from? I’m from 🇨🇦
Oooomg no doubt it was worth it!!! I would've loved to have seen him live!!!
sometimes i listen to the last and i-
i dont know how to express myself
it's so raw
it feels like im looking at yoongi for the first time every time i hear it w lyrics infront of me
i love him so much?
I love how in the middle of First Love it is the piano telling him it will always be there.
this was the perfect lineup of songs for sure! it was like the youthful 'give it to me' i want everything anger and desire to just take whatever success he can get...then the dark side of it showing the demons he needs to battle and the fight to break through it in the last...to the reflection of how music has been with him through all of those hard times and will continue to be his guardian through everything in first love....to again reflecting back in shadow to how he wanted to be the top and he wanted to be a star (give it to me) but it's lonely and dark and frightening at the top now that he's there and keeps climbing and sees what it's like, yet he's accepting that he is both the one wanting more fame and the one afraid of it all at once in Shadow.
Amazing, amazing reaction.
I believe everyone should experience Min Yoongi.
I am 73, and l hated rap, but discovering Yoongi was transformative, both in my life and in my musical appreciations.
He is genius, but also inspirational on a personal level.
In my personal opinion I believe that most of the older ARMY are Yoongi biased.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Agree
I was right there with you during The Last, even though I've heard it many times. It is gut wrenching. Many many people, including me, know what it feels like to be at this level of desperation at some point during their life. Most of us don't have the capacity to express it like this.
The chills washed over me once again as I recognized my younger self in parts of the lyric. I am thankful he has come through his pain & emerged as the man he is today. I am thankful I survived my own past as well.
If anyone reading this is in the middle of their turmoil now, please know that things can change & improve in your life. Your now does not have to be your forever. Even if it feels impossible in the moment... someday. Please hold on to whatever hope you can find & hang on for your someday. And for those who have not experienced such angst, or have already come through it, please be a safe harbor for those who are still hurting. One kind word can change someone's life. 💜
Mere words are not enough for what I feel about Yoongi's artistry. Music lives within him. It will be forever in his soul. All members are unanimous in their saying that Yoongi lives and breathes music. He is at his happiest doing music. Maybe the accident with his shoulder was meant to happen because I wonder how things would have been if he had to do 18mo in the base without his workroom to go back to at the end of each day. It will be like removing the air that he breathes. We love you, Min Yoongi. Stay safe and healthy.
omg welcome back baee! your reactions are always my favorites istg aah I feel like yoongi is truly the definition of an artist, he's not only my favorite artist but also my favorite person like he's just too real like too human yk and he shows that through his music, he connects with people's hearts... not to mention that he's the sweetest and most caring person ever, words aren't enough to express how much I respect admire and love him. His music literally saves me every day, he will forever be my #1 source of strength and the most treasured person in my heart ❤🩹
The Last made me cry so much i felt sick because tbh I struggle myself with anxiety and depression and this song...the raw emotions in his voice and the details...i don't think I've heard another song quite capture those emotions the way this does. and one thing I LOVE about it is how it shifts from being open and vulnerable about the struggles in the beginning to this angry triumphant f you I made it victory march at the end. like the WHO"S DONE AS MUCH AS ME?! Part he is just fighting through it all and standing tall on the other side. He is such a genius for real. If you get a chance to see his show you should see if you can watch one of the days he livestreamed the full show...it was so great. his discography is so excellent.
skipping the explaining of Jung theory about Shadow, since you've watch the explained video, i just want to point out some things i don't remember being mentioned there
these are just my thoughts and connections
yoongi in black - the shadow - is hidden behind a cracked mirror in which we see yoongi in white. that means, the shadow is suppressed, but because of this, life goes at the seams and it is very difficult to maintain balance and not go crazy. later in the video we see a microphone breaking the glass, possibly the same mirror that was holding yoongi's shadow. he has said more than once that music is his personal therapy and a way to deal with emotions, so here it acts as a weapon of change
we see men in black standing in front of closed doors. these are all components of the shadow, and they are all suppressed into the unconscious, but they are angry, they become larger in number and more difficult to contain. and yoongi lets them out, opening all the doors at once, and then in the lyrics he immediately reveals the truth about his fears - i think that's a very interesting correlation of visual and textual content
we see the red thing growing on the walls. the inspiration for this might have came from an installation by a sculptor Anish Kapoor called Svayambh (Selfmade). The sculptor explained that the point is to show the process of self-creation of an object. "I put a block of wax on rails and moved it around the building. So it takes the shape of the doors, it’s as if it’s skinning itself as it goes through the doors. It looks like the building itself is pushing it out of itself." later in the video we see yoongi moving down this corridor as if on rails. he is in the process of self-creation
as the rap changes its tone, we see yoongi who stands on the stage meeting yoongi in black who stands in the crowd. this is when he meets the shadow face to face, and as it happens all the previous lines "I want to be a star, I want to be a king" gain one final new wish: "I want to be me"
Как долго вас не было...Я очень ждала ваши реакции...
I've missed your reactions! Yoongi is so special. You can't help but love him. The Last and First Love give me chills every time I hear them and without fail I always tear up! Also the two fun videos were great! I love how his mindset in the second one is "fake it til you make it". XD
Right Place, Wrong Person,” BTS member RM’s second solo album is out on MAY 24TH, 1 PM KST
PRE-RELEASE -"COME BACK TO ME" OUT ON 10TH MAY, 1PM KST
“Right Place, Wrong Person” is an 11-track album that captures some of the universal emotions that we all experience at some point in life, such as the feeling of being an outsider who doesn’t fit in.
The album falls within the alternative genre, boasting a rich sound coupled with frank, honest lyrics. Your anticipation and support for RM and his second solo album “Right Place, Wrong Person” would be much appreciated.
i missed you. yoongi is not just a great artist & songwriter but a good story teller. he so genuine, honest, straight to the point and with no filter. i really i admire him a lot. anyway, pls check out jhope new album which is 'hots' it's masterpice.
Amo tus reacciones. Lástima que no entiendo del todo bien el inglés hablado. Me va mejor cuando hay subtitulos. Pero de igual manera amo la atención que pones a los detalles y tus análisis.
Eres brillante! 💜
It is truly a pleasure to see you every time you react to Yoongi's content, he is my bias and beyond that he is a person who I see as an example to follow, each of his songs helped me overcome hard situations, I still remember the first time I listened to the last & first love, until now there's no way to not cry with his songs
So happy you are back
I have deep admiration for Yooungi. Raw. Courageous. Pure artistry.
I love Yoongi. In Schwita he is so compassionate, so insightful when talking to the guests. I was not surprised. He observes and thinks a lot before saying something. And it is always so meaningful. 💜💜💜 He is my bias. I love OT7. But I have a special spot for him in my hearth.
Yoongis rap is the only one that actually gets me truly emotional. It’s so truthful it hurts. The Last is still one of my favorite lyrics and songs, it’s one of the ones that made me think that “this guy is for real.”
Thank you for this video! I love Yoongi so much and even if it's hard to make a choice, The Last, First Love and Interlude: Shadow are definitively in my top 10 if not my top 5 of Yoongi's songs. And yeah I remember the first time I listened to The Last, I felt pretty much as you did. I couldn't even listen to the whole song in one take, I had to pause, I was crying and feeling like I'd been punched in the guts. And even now, I've listened to it countless 'times but every time I have to kinda brace myself before hitting 'play' and I feel owerwelmed by so many emotions. I cry for his younger self, I feel proud and happy for him for all he's accomplished and overcome, I still worry for him and want to tell him "it's gonna be okay" (because even if I think he's in a much better mental place now depression is not something you truly overcome), I think most of all I'm in awe of him and the courage it takes to share something so personal and to show his vunerability like this. And I'm so grateful and still can't believe that he gave us a live version, that he chose to close his concerts with The Last.
Min PD genius
Today you will find out why Suga/Min Yoongi/Agust D is my FOREVER BIAS 💜. He wrecked me with a wrecking ball. 💜
hello welcome back：)) suga is my bias！！
Finally Gabbs you're here😊
Yess, yoongi is truly a genius. listening to his songs makes me feel all kinds of emotions. I loved your reaction.
I miss him sm
hugs army

Gracias Gabbsi por tú reacción al talentoso Suga!!! 💜
Great video! You reacted to so many sides of him
The last es una obra maestra, hay que escucharla varias veces para ver todo lo que tiene, pero First Love uff, esa me hizo llorar. la guitarra al final es buenisima
Felicitări suga tare mindri de el și tare dor de BTS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 💜
This comp of songs is so yoongi XD
Thanks for this great selection! I totally enjoyed your reaction💜

Good reaction(First Love), ty. I hope u watch the MV too. Yes, its BU connected. This is so deep. But that is the norm for Suga. All his solo stuff is deep. I adore his voice. His a master of it. It's a cinematic score. Ha, that is brilliant. Love songs with feels and this one got plenty. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
UwU ToTheMax said on 12.18.20
In the song he uses 2 voices, one is himself and the other is the piano. The piano/music was his first passion and his first friend. Its the piano that's saying “kid you can do it”, the piano is his friend someone/something he relies on. He talks about how he grew up taller than the piano and mentions neglecting it at a point in time but even though he neglected the piano and wanted to give up, the piano was always there for me. That passion and comfort that he got from the piano never left. It's about the relationship between a piano and a pianist basically. Personally I think this song is more valuable when it comes to Suga himself and not the storyline. The clips shown in the video is more about the storyline. And also this song makes me super emotional. I recommend listening to it multiple times and read the lyrics again to catch the small things.
MCricelli said on 8/3/2019
He's said in interviews that this song is very personal to him and that he cried a lot while recording it. He even said that growing up his piano was kind of like his only friend.
if you listen closely he used the takes of him crying in the background of some points of the song.
Cynthia Perez said on 8/3/2019
it was in Burn the Stage that Suga talked about the accident. He was a trainee then and worked part time making deliveries. He was hit by a car. He said he remembered looking up and the grill was right there in front of his face. His shoulder was broken (clavicle), but he kept it a secret because he thought Big Hit would let him go. He endured the pain for days until they finally discovered what had happened. Shows what a great company Big Hit is.... when they discovered he had been working part time to pay for tuition, they told him to stop and that they would pay it for him.
Since that time he's had a little difficulty with certain dance moves.
Beatriz said on 8/3/2019
His first love is the piano. It represents the way he started in his passion for the music.
The whistle was to the tune of Jungkook's song begin.
I don't understand but I love u is actually a Seventeen reference. It's their song. So the army was a carat. Aww. That was a nice video. I have never seen it before. Sweet.
1 reason I switched to him as my 2nd bias 😊.jk and yongi bias. 😊
Min Yoongi is THE GENIUS
They don't start from 0, they start from -0. This is the truth. They come from companies that have been sued and are on the verge of bankruptcy because they don't have the money to fight the lawsuit. At that time, they were the only ones who made money for the company. But they fought until they finally won the case...😊
Yoongi's not wrong though. There are cooked cereals:Cream Of Wheat,Grits and Oatmeal so maybe he does cook his cereal if he eats those things

Hi, i am back. Good reaction(The Last), ty. This one has so much feels. Gosh. Glad u liked it. His so raw and brutally honest. He never hid from us but we still don't know him fully. He always impresses me. =0} Hugs. #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💜

"I want to erase that day of performance" is the concert in Kobe in 2015, which was cancelled. He couldn't perform because of panic attack, after that he had a short break and later he wrote a letter on fancafe for ARMY, revealing his feelings. It is very open and has a lot of information that helps to understand him. Here is a translation:

Actually I'm someone who would just walk away rather to crash and feel pain. Anyone hates being hurt and I don't want to get hurt. In "Nevermind", "If you feel like you a going to crash then accelerate more". Perhaps, that's actually what I wanted to say to myself.
The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things.
The second day of the concert in Kobe... I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat.
Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing.
It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what.
So there was just one place to go.
I went to Kobe during my break.
Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer.
So I just went to Kobe without planning.
It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert.
The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert.
The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform.
I hate becoming a numb person.
I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person.
That’s why I visited the venues again on my own.
(T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans)
I liked being on stage, and I still do. When I was 17 and performed in front of 2 people I stood proudly and made eye contact with them during my performance. However after my debut I feel that I have not been righteous towards myself. I think it may be because I knew better than anyone that I wasn’t perfect.
And then on the day of the first performance of HYYH on stage I made proud eye contact with the audience that I didn’t do in quite a while.
But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again. I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day.
From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being. I’m a person who is weak but acts strong. Once again I realized that I was a person who’s lacking.
Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all, at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb.
To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important to me. "Whether you're young or old, whether you have a hidden child, I don't care", haven't I said this already.
That day, we unexpectedly had a Music Bank broadcast and I boarded a plane and returned a day before planned. I returned after organizing my many thoughts.
Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. This is the moment I realized the fact that 24-year old Min Yoongi, who hates being an adult, is standing in front of the threshold to being an adult.
Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY. Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself. Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being.
I love you, ARMY.
all the lyrics of "th last" is about him😭

Hello gabbsi
I hope you do a reaction video for a song come back home and mic drop and no more dream In 2017, BTS performed it on stage at one of their concerts
You know... Sorry to other groups fans If they are offended by my opinion but i would like to spit a fact that. This is rap ...
Bruhhhh BTS has the best rap line. I would call them death line... Dude...... They killlll it on stage.. and then this Guy.. i love j -hope ,i love RM,i love yoongii but sometimes they make me think that i guess RM is a better rapper ( flow), next time yoongi makes me think nobody raps better than hi ( performance) next time i think their is a weird swag in j- hope which draws me inn.... Idk..
They are not just in a race where rapper has to spit fastest & more syllables in Per... Sec
They can do it don't misunderstand them but its just they realised and complying wht music is about and they are rapping with that emotion which people are not doing it that much nowadays... In kpop scene
Also one key thing i mean there are many but one of the key thing that makes them the best in the business is lyricism... Come onnn man. I can write an essay about them
OMG ทำไมฉันเพิ่งเห็น🥺💜

Suga is referencing "It Doesn't Matter" (a.k.a. SSaihanuwar), a song released in October 2013. The word "SSaihanuwar" is repeated several times (background vocals). Agust D lines, "...I’m embarrassed about “SSaihanuwar” We sell half a million copies in a year now" is referring to the above song. In "It Doesn't Matter", Suga brags their album sold 30,000 copies.

This is the continuation of his previous song and music video “agust d” we see a different side of him thank you for this reaction love it❤ also suga says “suga” “yoongi” and “agust d” is all part of “him” except suga is the bts part of him and agust d is the part where there is some things he cannot say as part of bts it is a more “uncensored” a “raw” part of him also if you see their earlier songs either bts or suga himself or rm or jimin or other members etc you can see they have so much “drive” to want for more things and later we see them grow as we grow (of course to this day they have so much drive but we could really see the rawness of their drive and work back then) and suga later released a song called “interlude shadow” where he kind of talked about the dark sides of fame he thought success solve everything but it’s different than what he imagined and it does not solve everything also his song “the last” talked about it and JHope's song arson talking about after he calms down and recalls the past we see them reminiscing and videos of jimin who talked about he was a little bit “lost” somewhat and asked why he worked so hard why 7 people come together and work so hard and then he remembered seeing army's in crow we see their thoughts as they grow into a bigger artist they are today that’s why I love them so much they write their own songs and we see how their music change over time the lyrics becoming more philosophical etc Edit: Oh yeah your right! It all kind of ties together suga debut his solo “agust d” where he is blonde later he shot his blonde self with the black color hair in the song “daechwita” to kll his past self” kind of. Also I am kind of like you before bts, I don't really listen to rap but now I am a rapline bias and the reason is because I feel like bts rap is not really the typical” western rap where it is a women, dr _gs, etc but the lyrics is very deep and intricate and I love researching in some of the references they mention since some of them like writing in double meanings (also forgot the mention there is also the “prod. By suga” of him he uses this name for his credits when he write songs/ produced songs for other artists like PSY, halsey, and Max etc and it is crazy to see how versatile he is how the songs he produce for other artists is so different from his own etc.
