my heart goes out to you in your experience with loss in your life ... I lost my dad to cancer & it was really hard. I do not think I will ever forget his screams as chemo went wrong, seizures & 3rd degree burns over 80% of his body. Then my mom I watched die, also from clot to brain. Her crying out for help. Plus watched my husband die of covid. He asked me to forgive for not taking the virus more serious. Their last words were "I love you". I cry as I write these words. Sending HUGS your way. As I wanted to do same for Yoon-gi. This song and MV hit home with me as did you. Blessings to you for doing a reaction to it. Yoon-gi is truly a gift to us ( just like rest of members) but this music video he got venerable which most artists do not do. He lets us into his personal space hoping to show you can live thru pain, agony life dishes out & come out stronger. Once again HUGS & blessings to you.
I am sorry for your lose B. The experiences that Yoongi had on the past mostly all the armys relate to that too. Thank you for reaction on Amygdala. For me i need time to watch the MV more than once. Its hurt so much cos i known Yoongi past stories since became an army. Happy to hear that he have his member and both parent are in the good health now. Yoongi deserved all. He performs Amygdala on his tour at NY and NJ last night. He felt emotional too same with army when he sang this song. Luckly and thanks he is so happy and had fun performed his tour there. The LIVE band are great and awesome too. So excited to see his tour for the next 3 cities ahead. So be strong like Yoongi and we could make it through. Keep safe and be happy please. Waiting for your next reaction especially on Yoongi Suga Agust D DDAY Tour if you can. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Depression never really goes away, it comes in cycles. Yoongi himself said that he's ok now but it comes in cycles and every so often he deals with it again.
I hope you are okay today... Yoongi surpassed all the bad feelings, and he said that all the anger that bring Agust D to life is now gone! He is more mature and happy being Who he is now...
Trainee Yoongi had an accident while delivering on a rainy day. So even now, whenever he orders food delivery on a rainy day, he leaves a note to the delivery person saying, 'It's okay to come slowly, so come safely.' I got help from a translator because my English is not good. So the sentence can be awkward.
I cried with you I think the majority did when watching this MV. We all have some trauma in our lives I thank Agust D for sharing this with those that choose to listen. And I thank you for your honesty 💜
My first watch of this was when it premiered and there was no trigger warning. I knew it was gonna be deep with the title of the song being the part of the brain that stores painful traumatic memories and when you're faced with a stimuli that is reminiscent of that trauma it activates the fight or flight response. The second I saw him on the delivery bike, I knew where this was going and I started crying. The crying got worse when I saw him holding that box cutter against himself. From that point on I couldn't differentiate his story from my own traumas and "choices". The part that hit me the hardest was seeing him crawling on the floor, trying desperately to get to that door, with all the tears falling around him. It reminded me of all the times I screamed myself to tears to cry myself to exhaustion for a rest that would never come. I was so completely triggered by this video that I had to call in sick to work. I haven't gone back to watch it again but through watching reactions (the first ones I watched had napkins covering the video) I was slowly able to get to a place where I could see those images again and even analyze some of it a bit. I'm honestly starting to see that Suga, the one repeating the memory of his accident is just as trapped as Agust D is in that dark part of his mind. I think it could be something like he created Agust D to express all those emotions he couldn't in his IDOL life but that in turn led to Agust D being so filled with anger because of the limitation. In turn he created Suga as a silent barrier. Notice in the video as he repeats the accident (not the way we were told it happened) he doesn't really show much emotion. Like how the residual hauntings of a ghost work, the actions are there but the spirit and purpose is gone. He doesn't show emotion until he's confronted with the visual signal from his Amygdala, Agust D lying there in the rain looking hurt and injured (probably a more accurate image of how they found him after his accident). That's when Suga runs from the memory, trying to escape back into that dark safe space. Maybe both Suga and Agust D are trapped in the Amygdala and realize the only way they can truly escape is by reconnecting, by becoming Min Yoongi.
Your outline of this amazing. 1st time watching this. Didnt know anything so no expectations. Crying too. Brought up a tragic moment in my life. These guys know how to touch your soul. Damn.
My mom died of cancer 3 years ago and my dad has heart problems. This song hit me hard. Yoongi has always been my bias and is my forever bias. I love the other 6 just as well. I went to the Newark concert Saturday night. It was amazing. Amygdala is perfection live. Borahae 💜
Many people seem to think that he actually carved his own face like that but in my opinion the scar is a symbolism. ARMYs would hv noticed if he actually had the scar bc BTS recorded their daily activities and shared them with us. We watched many videos & pics on various platforms showing them without make-up, so we wld know. Besides, if he had a plastic surgery to remove the scar he wld hv to take some time off, which again ARMY wld know. In the Making of this MV, he said he wanted to convey that we (humans) made our own scar. Each trauma will scar our life. This MV is about how he coped with his trauma, that it is an ongoing process. Yoongi always believes that talking abt our conflict (instead of supressing the thoughts) is the way to solve any problems. Personally, I still can't deal with my own trauma so I admire his courage in making Amygdala.
They say that BTS finds you when you need them most. I truly believe that. I relate to Yoongi in this video quite a lot. Unfortunately, a lot of us do. But Yoongi and BTS have saved so many people and I think they know it. Yoongi's raw, honest lyrics are the reason he is my bias alongside JK. Watching this never gets easier. When I saw it the first time and saw that bike. I broke down. A lot of us knew what that meant for him. If I had not known about The Last, I probably would have been very shocked. I knew what to brace for. Not all of it of course, but yeah... this song has been on repeat for me since it dropped.
1st time watching this. no idea so know expectations. Crying now. He made it or at least is work toward a balance. I'll get there too. Totally agree that they come into your life when you need them. BTS have help so many people. Those who are not ARMY will never understand that they touch your soul and hold your hand. They were meant to be here and spread hope. 💜
Do not cry. I'll hug you🫂 Green Jacket What he ate is almonds. Almonds are like the shape of the amygdala. 9:08 What he said is 'guhaejwo' in Korean, and it means the same thing as save me. Don't cry☺ We are all 'lotuses' that have overcome and bloomed. Like he said 💜 UA-cam's algorithm has led me to your channel, and I've been watching for hours. Although the language is different, it was nice to feel the same emotions and laugh and cry together. thank you.💜😊
Hey Bryan, sending good thoughts your way. Amygdala is a great song, but it's really tough too. For me personally, it also helps me process my own traumas so I find it cathartic. Anyway, thank you for your reaction!
If you haven't yet, I would recommend watching the mv shooting sketch since he talks more about this video and also, more importantly, he does mention him making it/overcoming it.
Bryan, Thanks for your honest and raw reactions to the mv. I cry every time I watch this one because it's so relatable. Even if the trauma is not exactly like his ,his storytelling and the music he put to it describes my thoughts and feelings exactly. I have had a ruff past few days due to this song but have come to see that that's why I've been so full of anxiety lately due to different triggers in life and I need to regroup and set on a good path again. All I can say is thanks to BTS and Army I feel I have a support system like I've never experienced before. It may have come late in my life, being that I'm in my 60s but better late than never, right?!! 😂 You have a wonderful day and I suggest you watch the making of this video it's very insightful. 💜💜
Im a new ARMY and they touch your soul and hold your hand. Im 54 and lost my husband. They will never know they came into life just when i needed them. People who are not ARMY will never understand how special this group is. They were meant to be here.
what Suga eats when wearing a green jacket is almonds, where the shape of the brain part of the amygdala is like almonds, that's why he chose almonds in his MV
Yoongi really opened up to us. This may be healing for him , to face his pain and trauma.. and for us, who are also going through the same thoughts... What really pained me about this song and MV, is finally knowing how he held all of this in. Not just while in pre debut, but through out his career. This are not really things you can just talk about in the open, not especially as an Idol who, aside from working hard , are always being hated on for no reason. Holding onto those pain, alone in your mind😭 .. knowing now that he was the one who inflicted that scar in order to cope with all the turmoil he must have been feeling, thus creating AGUST D, the one filled with anger, pain and malice 🥹 he was suffering and yet only tried to give us his best .. How must he have felt, after all his schedule and concerts, going back alone in his hotel room😭.. I'm glad he has his members with him ready to support and help him out. But after seeing this MV, I can never see that scar as anything but pain and proof of Yoongis strength and perseverance 🥹 thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best .🥲🥲🥲🥲 #agustd #dday #amygdala
this is my favorite song from the album, i can't watch the MV without crying, i admire him for being so open with us and i really feel privileged for being able to listen and see his most personal stories
in 2012 when yoongi was a trainee, he had an accident while doing delivery food, it rained that day. where he dislocated and injured his shoulder, but afraid he would be pulled out of the bighit if they found out, he NEVER told anyone about what happened. he was just a trainee, if the company knew that he had been injured, they could take him out of the project (bts) so as not to waste time. only in november 2020, he couldn't take the constant pain that the injured shoulder caused him anymore, so he had the necessary surgery. at that time bts was promoting the BE album, and yoongi couldn't participate (3 months absent) there's a very good video that shows what it was like when yoongi was absent (bts when yoongi was absent for 3 months) HIGHLY recommend!
Hello Brian... Yes... a difficult song, an exciting reaction... but Army loves the kitten's sincerity, especially when this is the way Suga can vent and not affect him as much as before, when he suffered from his crises and ended up shutting himself away..... Although it is a difficult song, the Armys of years already went through this with The Last, a raw and heartbreaking song, but very very real (please react to The Last) Much love to you and yours, keep going, regards. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your honest reaction to SUGA/Agust D "Amygdala". It is like a punch in your soul, heart, head, in your entire body. We do not know what to say about this MV, but we think it is sweet, powerful, beauty, that makes you shiver during the entire song. His voice is hypnoic and when he shouts "AMYGDALA", it is when we tremble, and really wanto to continue listening, in my case.
This MV was just so raw and powerful, the lyrics are so full of raw emotion which I can partly relate to. And I just love Yoongis acting also there were bits that made me cry and get emotional. I can relate to it on such a personal level too as I no exactly what he is saying in this MV and song as I've been thru all that. He also said F**k to trigger warnings aswell (which this mv triggered me so much but yet Yoongis voice comforted me in a way only I can understand) Also I could relate so much to the lyrics and message in the song as I suffer from bad depression and I know exactly how he feels as yoongi is the one I can relate to the most
a bit late, but when he says "I don't know your name" and "things i never asked for", "things i couldn't control", it breaks me every time, kinda like the door creaks open but it feels like its swinging open and I'm blinded by that light. those lyrics are the ones that destroy me, even simple words like mom and dad make me lose vision behind the tears. i relate a lot, but not perfectly, i think if anyone can relate, it hits right past those walls and words like they were never there. it shows how delicate and traumatic things are for everyone. even as i cry, i cant seem to make a sound. this song was so raw so true, i find it hard to grasp like my mind doesn't have the mental capacity to understand it, but i see it and i feel it. i thank agust for letting us in, because no one opens up like this. back to the phrases i mentions, those hit me on an extremely personal level, like its speaking to the younger me, the me in the past, the me in that moment, and who i am now it echos a bit of truth that i never thought id hear, that someone could sing and scream it into my head, enough for me to accept it and move on.
Oh bryan. I didnt expect to hear your story. Im sorry for what happened, we can be happy but still shed tears for something so sad that happened in d past. We can rlly move on from the pain but we can always move forward to more happy memories. Thank u for d reaction! Hugs to you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
😅 So I'm not the only one "Amygdala" makes cry ?😅 He can make us feel his pain and the song can touch ours. I lost my mother when I was 18 (I'm 39) , at a time when we were getting even closer. She passed away with cancer, too. This song makes me want to scream how much I miss her, how angry I am with the bullying I suffered, cry for all the traumas I suffered. And that's what I want in a song. Make me feel emotions. For me, this is one of the best songs by the producer, composer, dancer, idol and one of the members of BTS, Min Yoongi (and a cat in his spare time).
You're right.. not everyone have support system. Something that usually overlooked, other people too focus on "the person". But having a good support system, really helps..
Jin's rain reversed - the message of going back to square one of loving yourself first. Suga's rain doesn't reverse - he has stated that he doesn't look back, knowing he can't save his past self. Accepting this allows him to move forward, rather than dwell on past regrets. I hope you find solace in his other tracks like Snooze and Life Goes On. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The mv is very emocional so rough, i was holding back my tears. I love AgustD song because they are like rock music, it and more feeling to his story. Thanks for the reaction 🫶🏽
My mom had to undergo surgery for a brain aneurysm about 12 years and I lost my dad to cancer 7 years ago. When I watched this video and caught the lyrics, this hit me hard and hit so close to home. I have dealt with so much in my life…it has been an uphill battle for me too. This song pushed a lot of memories I had locked away back to the surface. I am so proud of Yoongi for opening up like this. I know it was extremely difficult for him to do. And thank you for reacting to this and also opening up to us. We are all on this journey together and I feel like this song can be something to help heal us.
My mom also has liver cancer. I don’t think I have let myself think about it because, in all honesty, the thought of being without her scares me. Even if I am an adult, my parents weren't there for me as a child, so now that my relationship with her has improved... I still feel like a child not knowing what life without her will be like. Hearing that both Suga and you had something similar to me...makes me feel a little less alone.
It's tough, even to me, who never had such bad times (I had, but thank God never carried a scar as painful as Suga's). I think that most of us get so impressed and shocked with all he had to get through that we lose the main point: he's describing the healing process. It's painful because, first of all, we have to face what we were hiding in our amygdala to put the past in its right place: the past. Of course, nothing is magical. This process always leaves some remains (when he finally kills Agust D in Haegeum, he takes his jacket with him... and that hair falling on his eye, on the scar shape, it's very intriguing.
First time watcher ❤️ I think Yoongi gave us a lot to think about. For me, it’s like homework I never knew I had to do. It’s therapeutic even, just to hear people like you share their perceptions. Thanks.
Hello. First of all, im so sorry for your lost. Im 46 years old Portuguese mom and i pass my weekend watching yours videos. Is so funny watch the first video and the progress 😂. BTS is in my life since 2016. I don't need to say that this boys save my life innumerable times. At the moment they arelike my sons, and im a very proud mom 😊. Im sincerely happy for you like them, and you're doing an amazing work with your channel. Congratulations 👏. About the concerts you're right, its from another world, we never forget, an experience for life. I had the extraordinary opportunity to see them twice, new Jersey and London (Wembley stadium), simply unbelievable. I wish you keep doing the great work in your channel.i would like to suggest you House of cards live from vocal line, what am i to you live from rm and 2!3!. Love and support from Portugal. Kisses to your beautiful son. Stay safe 💜
Most of us can relate to stuff said and showed in this video. Thats why it hits so hard, Its too close to reality. I personally couldnt watch Amygdala the second time for couple of days.
It's true what they say that the biggest battlefield people have to deal with is your own mind, and you are the only one who can save yourself from it. Been there doing that and yes it's an almost daily struggle to stay above and keep pushing through. Yes, the water is cleansing and washing all the bad away. When he's running to the apartment he's trying to save himself. Very deep and yes emotional song that I tear up everytime I hear and watch it as I can relate to it on a couple different levels.
Thank you so much again for giving such an authentic, heart felt review. I was worried for you after hearing before about the loss of your mom (and thank you for the kind response on a previous comment of mine about the loss of my own mom to cancer) and I’m glad you were able to enjoy the song even though it was emotional and hard. True strength lies in doing things even when they’re scary, when they’re hard, when they feel impossible, and you showing the strength to have emotions in such an honest way in a public space I’m sure will work as a beacon for others to feel empowered to share their own emotions. Yoongi truly did a beautiful job with this song and you were the reaction I’ve been waiting to see for this one since the album dropped. Thanks again for letting us see a raw, honest side of yourself and for supporting these boys and the community! 💜
thanks for your reaction, i also relate to a lot of the subjects/visuals being portrayed here. it's a tough, beautiful, relatable watch & sorry for your loss. everything is up to our own interpretation, and i was thinking that since yoongi got into his delivery accident in the rain irl, the video is showing how it could be a traumatic trigger response for him, so he runs away, rather than it being a cleansing rain like in epiphany. when you're in a downward spiral, the weight feels so heavy - "when it rains, it pours" - but i think the hopeful spirit lies in yoongi redirecting his fight or flight response into trying to save himself from his dark place. he's being super real & raw and maybe it doesn't show him 'getting out' because sometimes true healing is learning to cope with the pain that may always be around to some degree, but we can still fight to go on & keep living the full lives we deserve! we can still bloom like lotus flowers, flowers that are beautiful despite growing within muddy waters, as he says~
Your reactions are always raw and true I feel your past heartaches, x cellists has just brought out a full live performance of d day concert its awesome
I cried and my life hadn't been as hard as most I think... the part that hit me most is that thinking back about choices - did I make the right choices? The first, second and third best choices... oof. Mentally crawling up that impossible hill etc those are universally relatable I think.
I hope you noticed that scar he created earlier in the video is much smaller and healing by the end of the video. He said that we create our own scars and also that the video shows his healing from the trauma he has experienced (I think it was BTS episode of the making of the MV, or maybe from the documentary on Disney Plus). #Proud of our Lotus Flower
Thank you so much for reacting to this and not being afraid to be as vulnerable as you were on this video. I’ve been through a similar path just a few years ago. I’m in a much better place now but sadly, those past traumas and the depression and negative emotions tend to come back at the most unexpected and inopportune time and there’s not much I can do to get out of my own head. I am glad I have a really great support system with my husband and a few other close people in my life now who understand me and help me while I get through those moments. A huge THANK YOU to Agust-D for releasing a masterpiece. A huge THANK YOU as well to my fellow ARMY who have not only welcomed me, my sister and my mom into the fandom but for being such amazing people to be around overall. Stay strong Bryan and to all who are going through it right now, ARMY is here for you. 💜❤️🩹💜❤️🩹💜❤️🩹
One of the most raw and honest things I’ve seen him do. And he’s given us The Last so it was a high bar. Beautiful and sadly relatable but it’s helping me deeply think about how I need to unpack past traumas. I had t even considered if the rain might be related to Epiphany but now wondering. Brian I’m sorry about the loss of your mom (even 10 years doesn’t make it easy) and can see how this affected you. Hoping you have a good week. 💜💜💜
“Twitter can’t handle it, the song is too epic.” 🤣 So true. Suga getting in touch with his inner rock god and I am here for it! I am so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing them. I appreciate the honesty in your reactions. I always look forward to them. I knew this one would be tough though. Yoongi’s acting in this was top notch. He brought tears to my eyes. After what he has said about his accident and his shoulder pain, when he visualized that painful memory for us… I actually gasped when I saw it. And him dragging himself through the rain only to not be able to get out. 😭😭😭 I just want to hug him. 🥺
When I saw him for the The first time I cried 😭😭😭 I said to myself the poor I hope he had someone in those moments to talk to too many emotions it's a beautiful and very strong song It's good that he was able to do his torments very nice video and he is a good actor thank you for your comments 💜
The Amygdala is also not just the fear center. It also deals with memories. Basically it's the structure that's almond shaped (small reference to that with Yoongi eating almonds in the MV) but it's the thing in survival that was basically like "you got hurt by a lion, this is an important thing to remember you will remember that lions are bad every time you see one". Except in today's society, it simply remembers trauma. Most events that are "important enough to be remembered" are negative (as a protection, a "don't do that again"). So basically Yoongi is trying to reason with a part of his brain that you can't reason with. It's entire purpose is to remember. So he is screaming at his Amygdala to let him let go of trauma, of the past, to be able to heal, but it's not that easy. He wants to be saved from having to remember it over and over again. I really like that he didn't get out in the end bc mental health is like that. I've had depression for 7 to 8 years and it never leaves, it lingers like a bad after taste and you just learn to cope. Some days are much harder and you become the one screaming at your Amygdala to forget, to let you restart and heal. But it will always remember.
His family didn't accept his music career at the very beginning. Suga said in his songs he tried suicide some times. I really love this guy for his strength and love the fact that for now he feeling good. 💜
Amygdala is my favourite favourite song off his album ❤ may be the favourite favourite song ever from Yoongi ❤ No matter how sad and dark the song overall was, it also felt liberating to me 💕 Also, thanks to Yoongi, I know something new about my brain, about the Amygdala thingy, and being someone who is extremely interested in understanding human behaviour, this will give me a new dimension ✨
I think wasn't crying in the live clip because he has listened to this song thousands of times while recording, then practicing.... And given how sentimental he is irl, he must have cried while writing it, while showing it to the first person. And he might cry again while performing it in front of fans when there will be a whole lot of emotions mixed ❤
Thank you for this reaction ,the song it’s so hard .I cried a lot …so many people can at the moment in the world suffering the same situation like him did !!!!
Sufrí con este tema todo ARMY sabe lo difícil que ha sido para suga llegar a donde está ahora y lo admiro por compartir con nosotros parte de su vida porque me ayuda a seguir adelante con todo lo difícil que puede ser esta vida y para los que tenemos depresión bts si es música para sanar y sus miembros cada uno es una esperanza como hobi que me ilumina sólo verlo reír , 💜💜💜💜
0:04 It was hard to watch but I couldn’t stop watching it. I heard he had many struggles, he is blessed to be where he is today. I don’t know but I believe that all the members have been there for each other. To me they are truly a great group of people.
This song is yet again another masterpiece. I cry so much everytime even just listening. It has such a calming sound regardless of the message. I just got to see him at Rosemont in Chicago and cried when he performed this. I also don't know how he performs it without breaking down. He was so amazing live I'll skip talking about the meaning since so many have already mentioned the message and everything but there is a book called Almond that he and RM recommend reading. Originally in Korean but they have a translated version out about a boy who has an underdeveloped amygdala. A good read
This is so deep and difficult to watch! 😢 Sorry about your mom. Mine, also, passed a few years ago. It’s tough. The thing I like about BTS is they’re all about feel your feelings, feel validated in your feelings, work through your feelings, and support others through your experiences. ARMY is a family and it’s ok to show and speak about your feelings here. The point of this community, based on its founding father (😜), PD Bang, is letting music heal us and letting 💜BTS and ARMY heal each other. 💜
Borahae Brian. 💜 It’s been amazing watching your journey with BTS. BTS heals. They change lives. They’ve changed mine for sure. Also, I always say : What doesn’t kill you leaves you wounded. It’s healing that makes you stronger. Some people never heal, never are able to or never do the work. Healing is hard work and a blessing. Yoongi has healed and so have I and I am thankful for that.
Healing is extremely hard, for me, I had to completely change my way of thinking and seeing the world to start my healing process. Thank you for watching!
Working on yourself is the hardest work there is to do in life. Anything that you do in life that’s hard (therapy, parenting, relationships, perusing dreams, working for personal goals, etc) is hard because it forces you to do that work on yourself. These things push you, they push your buttons, and if you want to do them well then they force you to expand, to learn and grow, to be honest, to face your baggage and address it. Many people are afraid to do those things, and so they cannot grow and heal. It takes real courage to do these things. Vulnerability takes courage. Loving takes courage, including self love. Healing takes courage. I am so proud of the Tannies for their personal growth and hard self work. I’m proud of myself too, and you, for working so hard on those things. I highly recommend the work of Brene Brown on this topic, if you haven’t read it. You can start with her excellent TED talks. Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hey Bryan! I had to leave for work during your live premiere so I thought I'd pop back in for a second watch 😌 The first 30 seconds of this video took my breath away with the guitar and his voice. The second I saw him and the scooter I knew what would happen and I felt so bad for him. To have horrible memories that you can't get away from. I love this song. So many of us love this song because we can relate to it. I am so proud of Yoongi, and so grateful to him for entrusting his innermost feelings to all of us. He helps us by opening up. Thanks for this one. Hugs you! 💜💜💜💜💜
I really checking out live performances from Suga's concert Especially for this song day 1 There are many good quality fancams out there on UA-cam Yoongi really poured out everything into his concert, it shows
The moment I heard the song, I knew the music video was going to make me cry. I was right. lol. Amygdala is very possibly my favorite song off the album. Which is saying a lot because I absolutely love all the songs on this album. But Yoongi's music specifically has always hit me a little harder because I relate to a lot of it. Amygdala as a song his me very hard and the MV hit even harder. I still don't have the words for it. It does bring up a lot of things but... like so many of his other songs, it's also kind of healing. Thanks for watching this and being so genuine with your reaction. I mean, you always are genuine. But I know it can't be easy to be vulnerable on camera- but it's appreciated.
thank you Bryan, I'm glad that this video is finally out, Amygdala is my favorite song😭I cried a lot when I heard and watched the MV😭I want to say to everyone please give lots of your love and support to Yoongi😢 Bryan I want to know what is your favorite song on this D-Day album?
thank you for always being so honest with us Bryan, I'm sorry you can relate too. I'm sorry for all of us who can relate and hope things would hurt less. Lover this song, one of my favorite songs tough they're all so great but it hits way too close to home. As always Yoongi never disappoints, he only gets better and better, so proud of him
I really liked the song when i first heard it, it was a bit harder and darker which i typically like and even upon reading the lyrics i knew it had heavy topics about his past traumas, but it wasn't until i saw the video that it really hit and i broke down. now i can't watch or listen to the song without at least tearing up a bit. I still really enjoy it, i consider it (and the tears) cathartic. My dad and my partner's dad both passed from liver cancer so i felt that, but the line that sticks every single time and usually starts the tears is "the first best choice, and then the second best choice, and then the third best choice. things i never asked for. things out of of my control." I have a lot of regrets in life and have made a lot of best and second best and on and on choices and i just have to hope my decisions were the best i could have made at the time... i dont know how to explain it but those simple words just hit really hit hard.
This made me cry because he did try to commit suicide but Jin stopped him and saved him. Yoongi is so strong to get to place that he is happy and comfortable. 💜💜 he truely is an amazing person. I'm sorry for your loss. Cancer is not easy at all. I lost both my parents to the same cancer.
Hmmmmmm - I think it's safe to say: Suga's song has triggered MANY dark memories/trauma that Army on a Global scale - endured. This is the 1st time I've ever done this. Am going to post my reply - 5 mins ago - to a Baby Army. If this is wrong, DM? Please let me know. "Dear Lex: As a 55 yr old Army Mom who lives on the tiniest Island in the Caribbean (population....4k) and discovered our boys in 2016? Over the past seven yrs in here - have subbed and seen probably hundreds of new BTS reactioners....start from 10 members (back then) to over 500K plus today. So I'll say the same thing I said - 6 yrs ago - to a young man who wouldn't stop apologizing - for losing it - over one of BTS' vids. He openly wept and was so upset. I believe it was the Spring Day vid - once the lyrics (were explained) and what it was based on. "Never apologize for crying in front of us because when you cry? Trust me - We as Army watching your transparency....cry along side and WITH you. You've joined a Global family - who will always have your back". The trigger warning for this vid is for good reason: Just as it brought back memories of your life altering car accident and the yrs spent dealing with it's aftermath? In 2016...after 5 years spent in a highly abusive relationship (on all levels?) Was on the verge of committing the 'S' word because....I was at a point where, my ex had broken me. Made me doubt my sanity/self worth to where - I 'hated' myself. Was looking at a YT vid when suddenly BTS broke in with their vid of 'fake Love'. was so annoyed (lol). Who are these guys? Never heard of them but their dancing...visuals and message were enough. Long story short. Went down the BTS Rabbit Hole and.....credit these seven boys (back then) PLUS ARMY for - literally - saving my life. Their msg of 'self love', GAVE ME THE STRENGTH to kick my ex to the curb and start over. From the beginning. Never looked back. Especially once the message spread around the World - "BTS come into your life....when needed the MOST". Well....I bawled my arse off upon hearing this song and it triggered my own painful memories of that 'dark' time because although not explicitly 'shown' in this vid? Suga has always been open about being in his 'dark place' . Battling his depression and how close he came to - the 'S' word. Thank you for sharing your traumatic experience with us, Lex. Am sending you love, light and positive vibes from hundreds of miles away. As Army...you're part of the largest family in the World so, Borahea, sweetie 💜💜💜💜" Truth is DM? In sharing his painful past and the battle he's overcome? I saw how it affected you. My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mummy and what she went through. Nuff said. *hugs*...... I seriously 💜💜 You.
Many people have gone through traumatic experiences. I haven't had any (I had some experiences that definitely screw me up, but it's not life changing), and I'm very grateful. In general, I don't really face too much hardship in life, and that's why I'm even more scared of something going wrong because I've never went through anything. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if something truly bad happened. I feel depressed every once in a while, I also have some anxieties, but I feel like I don"t deserve to feel that way because my life has been decent so far. It makes me scared whenever I listen to people open up about their trauma, and I admire them for being strong to survive. Yoongi is my ult bias, and I was emotional watching this. He is truly wise and brave, a man whose words are always coming from experiences, and never empty
I'm glad he didn't show himself escaping. Bc Yoongi never sugar coats. And the fight is never entirely over. All we can do is learn healthier coping skills, and keep getting up each day and trying. He said in a note or interview that he doesn't release music about his struggles until he has found peace and balance with them. He writes as a form of therapy for himself, but only once he's moved past stuff a bit does he actually release that stuff. So this was something he was really working hard on about three-four years ago. He made the decision to get his shoulder surgery during that time. The pandemic gave him some, maybe unwanted, time to focus on himself. In the behind video on Bangtan TV, he said he wanted green jacket Yoongi to be taking pills. At the last minute, they switched those to almonds. So it wd have been like him watching his mind, taking meds, sort of removed and observing. I guess they thought pills all through the vid was a bit too much (it wasn't his decision to change it). He said he had to really push hard just to show the silhouette of him cutting himself, bc it was very important to show that we give scars and wounds to ourselves. At the end, I think he was trying to unlive the memory of his accident, so like, maybe if he hadn't gone out that day, if, if, if. He can't erase the events and choices of the past. He's not gonna lie to us and pretend it's all over. Luckily he has found peace and a healthier way to work through his troubles. What a gift this song and music video is. 🤕🩹🔥💞
My Mom underwent 8 heart surgeries during a span of a few years when I was growing up. That line was like a punch in my face. Now I am a huge fan of the song and it’s been very healing for me. My mom is lucky enough to be alive and well today. There’s a lot of struggle in this world, but there’s an equal amount of beauty and hope. Sometimes you need to look more carefully for it to balance out the bad 💜

my heart goes out to you in your experience with loss in your life ... I lost my dad to cancer & it was really hard. I do not think I will ever forget his screams as chemo went wrong, seizures & 3rd degree burns over 80% of his body. Then my mom I watched die, also from clot to brain. Her crying out for help. Plus watched my husband die of covid. He asked me to forgive for not taking the virus more serious. Their last words were "I love you". I cry as I write these words. Sending HUGS your way. As I wanted to do same for Yoon-gi.
This song and MV hit home with me as did you.
Blessings to you for doing a reaction to it.
Yoon-gi is truly a gift to us ( just like rest of members) but this music video he got venerable which most artists do not do. He lets us into his personal space hoping to show you can live thru pain, agony life dishes out & come out stronger.
Once again HUGS & blessings to you.
i am sorry for your loss. ❤ I am grateful for the "tools" you had back then that helped you. You worked incredibly hard, Yoongi would be proud of you
I am sorry for your lose B. The experiences that Yoongi had on the past mostly all the armys relate to that too. Thank you for reaction on Amygdala. For me i need time to watch the MV more than once. Its hurt so much cos i known Yoongi past stories since became an army. Happy to hear that he have his member and both parent are in the good health now. Yoongi deserved all. He performs Amygdala on his tour at NY and NJ last night. He felt emotional too same with army when he sang this song. Luckly and thanks he is so happy and had fun performed his tour there. The LIVE band are great and awesome too. So excited to see his tour for the next 3 cities ahead. So be strong like Yoongi and we could make it through. Keep safe and be happy please. Waiting for your next reaction especially on Yoongi Suga Agust D DDAY Tour if you can. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Depression never really goes away, it comes in cycles. Yoongi himself said that he's ok now but it comes in cycles and every so often he deals with it again.
I hope you are okay today... Yoongi surpassed all the bad feelings, and he said that all the anger that bring Agust D to life is now gone! He is more mature and happy being Who he is now...
Trainee Yoongi had an accident while delivering on a rainy day. So even now, whenever he orders food delivery on a rainy day, he leaves a note to the delivery person saying, 'It's okay to come slowly, so come safely.'
I got help from a translator because my English is not good.
So the sentence can be awkward.
I can understand you perfectly, thank you for commenting 💜
I cried with you I think the majority did when watching this MV. We all have some trauma in our lives I thank Agust D for sharing this with those that choose to listen. And I thank you for your honesty 💜
Thank you for watching and commenting 💜
Its all about suga's past struggles, trauma, anxiety and his car accident that happened when he was a trainee 2012 work as delivery boy
My first watch of this was when it premiered and there was no trigger warning. I knew it was gonna be deep with the title of the song being the part of the brain that stores painful traumatic memories and when you're faced with a stimuli that is reminiscent of that trauma it activates the fight or flight response.
The second I saw him on the delivery bike, I knew where this was going and I started crying. The crying got worse when I saw him holding that box cutter against himself. From that point on I couldn't differentiate his story from my own traumas and "choices".
The part that hit me the hardest was seeing him crawling on the floor, trying desperately to get to that door, with all the tears falling around him. It reminded me of all the times I screamed myself to tears to cry myself to exhaustion for a rest that would never come. I was so completely triggered by this video that I had to call in sick to work.
I haven't gone back to watch it again but through watching reactions (the first ones I watched had napkins covering the video) I was slowly able to get to a place where I could see those images again and even analyze some of it a bit.
I'm honestly starting to see that Suga, the one repeating the memory of his accident is just as trapped as Agust D is in that dark part of his mind. I think it could be something like he created Agust D to express all those emotions he couldn't in his IDOL life but that in turn led to Agust D being so filled with anger because of the limitation. In turn he created Suga as a silent barrier. Notice in the video as he repeats the accident (not the way we were told it happened) he doesn't really show much emotion. Like how the residual hauntings of a ghost work, the actions are there but the spirit and purpose is gone.
He doesn't show emotion until he's confronted with the visual signal from his Amygdala, Agust D lying there in the rain looking hurt and injured (probably a more accurate image of how they found him after his accident). That's when Suga runs from the memory, trying to escape back into that dark safe space.
Maybe both Suga and Agust D are trapped in the Amygdala and realize the only way they can truly escape is by reconnecting, by becoming Min Yoongi.
He mentioned in his interview with RM that he was trying to merge Agust D and Suga as one.
Your outline of this amazing. 1st time watching this. Didnt know anything so no expectations. Crying too. Brought up a tragic moment in my life. These guys know how to touch your soul. Damn.
💜 yes mine too and so did I
My mom died of cancer 3 years ago and my dad has heart problems. This song hit me hard. Yoongi has always been my bias and is my forever bias. I love the other 6 just as well. I went to the Newark concert Saturday night. It was amazing. Amygdala is perfection live. Borahae 💜
I'm sorry for your loss
Many people seem to think that he actually carved his own face like that but in my opinion the scar is a symbolism. ARMYs would hv noticed if he actually had the scar bc BTS recorded their daily activities and shared them with us. We watched many videos & pics on various platforms showing them without make-up, so we wld know. Besides, if he had a plastic surgery to remove the scar he wld hv to take some time off, which again ARMY wld know.
In the Making of this MV, he said he wanted to convey that we (humans) made our own scar. Each trauma will scar our life. This MV is about how he coped with his trauma, that it is an ongoing process. Yoongi always believes that talking abt our conflict (instead of supressing the thoughts) is the way to solve any problems. Personally, I still can't deal with my own trauma so I admire his courage in making Amygdala.
They say that BTS finds you when you need them most. I truly believe that. I relate to Yoongi in this video quite a lot. Unfortunately, a lot of us do. But Yoongi and BTS have saved so many people and I think they know it. Yoongi's raw, honest lyrics are the reason he is my bias alongside JK. Watching this never gets easier. When I saw it the first time and saw that bike. I broke down. A lot of us knew what that meant for him. If I had not known about The Last, I probably would have been very shocked. I knew what to brace for. Not all of it of course, but yeah... this song has been on repeat for me since it dropped.
1st time watching this. no idea so know expectations. Crying now. He made it or at least is work toward a balance. I'll get there too. Totally agree that they come into your life when you need them. BTS have help so many people. Those who are not ARMY will never understand that they touch your soul and hold your hand. They were meant to be here and spread hope. 💜
Do not cry. I'll hug you🫂
Green Jacket What he ate is almonds. Almonds are like the shape of the amygdala.
9:08 What he said is 'guhaejwo' in Korean, and it means the same thing as save me.
Don't cry☺ We are all 'lotuses' that have overcome and bloomed. Like he said 💜
UA-cam's algorithm has led me to your channel, and I've been watching for hours. Although the language is different, it was nice to feel the same emotions and laugh and cry together. thank you.💜😊
I'm glad you are enjoying my reactions 💜
This song has a reference from the book almonds by Won-pyung Sohn. Read it if you get the chance, it's amazing. Nam e Suga read in In The Soop.
Thank you for the book suggestion!
That’s why he eat almonds in the green jacket, also because it’s the shape of the amygdala 😱
Hey Bryan, sending good thoughts your way. Amygdala is a great song, but it's really tough too. For me personally, it also helps me process my own traumas so I find it cathartic. Anyway, thank you for your reaction!
Thank you 💜
If you haven't yet, I would recommend watching the mv shooting sketch since he talks more about this video and also, more importantly, he does mention him making it/overcoming it.
He’s actually eating almonds in the green sweatshirt because the amygdala is shaped like an almond. He talks about it in the MV behind the scenes
Bryan, Thanks for your honest and raw reactions to the mv. I cry every time I watch this one because it's so relatable. Even if the trauma is not exactly like his ,his storytelling and the music he put to it describes my thoughts and feelings exactly. I have had a ruff past few days due to this song but have come to see that that's why I've been so full of anxiety lately due to different triggers in life and I need to regroup and set on a good path again. All I can say is thanks to BTS and Army I feel I have a support system like I've never experienced before. It may have come late in my life, being that I'm in my 60s but better late than never, right?!! 😂 You have a wonderful day and I suggest you watch the making of this video it's very insightful. 💜💜
Im a new ARMY and they touch your soul and hold your hand. Im 54 and lost my husband. They will never know they came into life just when i needed them. People who are not ARMY will never understand how special this group is. They were meant to be here.
That's right, trauma is like a scar on the brain. But I pay respect to the way he has overcome that trauma without hiding it.
what Suga eats when wearing a green jacket is almonds, where the shape of the brain part of the amygdala is like almonds, that's why he chose almonds in his MV
Yoongi really opened up to us. This may be
healing for him , to face his pain and trauma.. and for us, who are also going through the same thoughts...
What really pained me about this song and MV, is finally knowing how he held all of this in. Not just while in pre debut, but through out his career. This are not really things you can just talk about in the open, not especially as an Idol who, aside from working hard , are always being hated on for no reason. Holding onto those pain, alone in your mind😭 .. knowing now that he was the one who inflicted that scar in order to cope with all the turmoil he must have been feeling, thus creating AGUST D, the one filled with anger, pain and malice 🥹 he was suffering and yet only tried to give us his best .. How must he have felt, after all his schedule and concerts, going back alone in his hotel room😭.. I'm glad he has his members with him ready to support and help him out.
But after seeing this MV, I can never see that scar as anything but pain and proof of Yoongis strength and perseverance 🥹
thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best .🥲🥲🥲🥲 #agustd #dday #amygdala
this is my favorite song from the album, i can't watch the MV without crying, i admire him for being so open with us and i really feel privileged for being able to listen and see his most personal stories
I just want to silently give you a virtual hug.
U've stayed really strong over the years, just like Yoongi. Proud of u too 💜
in 2012 when yoongi was a trainee, he had an accident while doing delivery food, it rained that day. where he dislocated and injured his shoulder, but afraid he would be pulled out of the bighit if they found out, he NEVER told anyone about what happened. he was just a trainee, if the company knew that he had been injured, they could take him out of the project (bts) so as not to waste time. only in november 2020, he couldn't take the constant pain that the injured shoulder caused him anymore, so he had the necessary surgery. at that time bts was promoting the BE album, and yoongi couldn't participate (3 months absent)
there's a very good video that shows what it was like when yoongi was absent (bts when yoongi was absent for 3 months) HIGHLY recommend!
Hello Brian...
Yes... a difficult song, an exciting reaction...
but Army loves the kitten's sincerity, especially when this is the way Suga can vent and not affect him as much as before, when he suffered from his crises and ended up shutting himself away.....
Although it is a difficult song, the Armys of years already went through this with The Last, a raw and heartbreaking song, but very very real (please react to The Last)
Much love to you and yours, keep going, regards. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your honest reaction to SUGA/Agust D "Amygdala". It is like a punch in your soul, heart, head, in your entire body. We do not know what to say about this MV, but we think it is sweet, powerful, beauty, that makes you shiver during the entire song. His voice is hypnoic and when he shouts "AMYGDALA", it is when we tremble, and really wanto to continue listening, in my case.
Thank you for watching!
This MV was just so raw and powerful, the lyrics are so full of raw emotion which I can partly relate to.
And I just love Yoongis acting also there were bits that made me cry and get emotional.
I can relate to it on such a personal level too as I no exactly what he is saying in this MV and song as I've been thru all that.
He also said F**k to trigger warnings aswell (which this mv triggered me so much but yet Yoongis voice comforted me in a way only I can understand)
Also I could relate so much to the lyrics and message in the song as I suffer from bad depression and I know exactly how he feels as yoongi is the one I can relate to the most
a bit late, but when he says "I don't know your name" and "things i never asked for", "things i couldn't control", it breaks me every time, kinda like the door creaks open but it feels like its swinging open and I'm blinded by that light. those lyrics are the ones that destroy me, even simple words like mom and dad make me lose vision behind the tears. i relate a lot, but not perfectly, i think if anyone can relate, it hits right past those walls and words like they were never there. it shows how delicate and traumatic things are for everyone. even as i cry, i cant seem to make a sound. this song was so raw so true, i find it hard to grasp like my mind doesn't have the mental capacity to understand it, but i see it and i feel it. i thank agust for letting us in, because no one opens up like this. back to the phrases i mentions, those hit me on an extremely personal level, like its speaking to the younger me, the me in the past, the me in that moment, and who i am now it echos a bit of truth that i never thought id hear, that someone could sing and scream it into my head, enough for me to accept it and move on.
Watching the behind the scenes of the MV lightens it up a bit..
Oh bryan. I didnt expect to hear your story. Im sorry for what happened, we can be happy but still shed tears for something so sad that happened in d past. We can rlly move on from the pain but we can always move forward to more happy memories. Thank u for d reaction! Hugs to you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Ваша реакция просто прекрасна, спасибо, что поделились свой историей про маму. Я так рада, что музыка Юнги находит отклик в вашем сердце ❤️
😅 So I'm not the only one "Amygdala" makes cry ?😅 He can make us feel his pain and the song can touch ours. I lost my mother when I was 18 (I'm 39) , at a time when we were getting even closer. She passed away with cancer, too. This song makes me want to scream how much I miss her, how angry I am with the bullying I suffered, cry for all the traumas I suffered. And that's what I want in a song. Make me feel emotions. For me, this is one of the best songs by the producer, composer, dancer, idol and one of the members of BTS, Min Yoongi (and a cat in his spare time).
You're right.. not everyone have support system. Something that usually overlooked, other people too focus on "the person". But having a good support system, really helps..
Jin's rain reversed - the message of going back to square one of loving yourself first.
Suga's rain doesn't reverse - he has stated that he doesn't look back, knowing he can't save his past self. Accepting this allows him to move forward, rather than dwell on past regrets.
I hope you find solace in his other tracks like Snooze and Life Goes On.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The mv is very emocional so rough, i was holding back my tears.
I love AgustD song because they are like rock music, it and more feeling to his story.
Thanks for the reaction 🫶🏽
My mom had to undergo surgery for a brain aneurysm about 12 years and I lost my dad to cancer 7 years ago. When I watched this video and caught the lyrics, this hit me hard and hit so close to home. I have dealt with so much in my life…it has been an uphill battle for me too. This song pushed a lot of memories I had locked away back to the surface. I am so proud of Yoongi for opening up like this. I know it was extremely difficult for him to do. And thank you for reacting to this and also opening up to us. We are all on this journey together and I feel like this song can be something to help heal us.
I'm sorry for your loss
My mom also has liver cancer. I don’t think I have let myself think about it because, in all honesty, the thought of being without her scares me. Even if I am an adult, my parents weren't there for me as a child, so now that my relationship with her has improved... I still feel like a child not knowing what life without her will be like. Hearing that both Suga and you had something similar to me...makes me feel a little less alone.
I relate a lot to your comment, I'm sorry for what you are going through.
It's tough, even to me, who never had such bad times (I had, but thank God never carried a scar as painful as Suga's). I think that most of us get so impressed and shocked with all he had to get through that we lose the main point: he's describing the healing process.
It's painful because, first of all, we have to face what we were hiding in our amygdala to put the past in its right place: the past.
Of course, nothing is magical. This process always leaves some remains (when he finally kills Agust D in Haegeum, he takes his jacket with him... and that hair falling on his eye, on the scar shape, it's very intriguing.
i cried aswell when i first watching it and even now that i already watch it for many time,i cant still help not to became teary...
First time watcher ❤️ I think Yoongi gave us a lot to think about. For me, it’s like homework I never knew I had to do. It’s therapeutic even, just to hear people like you share their perceptions. Thanks.
Hello. First of all, im so sorry for your lost. Im 46 years old Portuguese mom and i pass my weekend watching yours videos. Is so funny watch the first video and the progress 😂. BTS is in my life since 2016. I don't need to say that this boys save my life innumerable times. At the moment they arelike my sons, and im a very proud mom 😊. Im sincerely happy for you like them, and you're doing an amazing work with your channel. Congratulations 👏. About the concerts you're right, its from another world, we never forget, an experience for life. I had the extraordinary opportunity to see them twice, new Jersey and London (Wembley stadium), simply unbelievable. I wish you keep doing the great work in your channel.i would like to suggest you House of cards live from vocal line, what am i to you live from rm and 2!3!. Love and support from Portugal. Kisses to your beautiful son. Stay safe 💜
Most of us can relate to stuff said and showed in this video. Thats why it hits so hard, Its too close to reality. I personally couldnt watch Amygdala the second time for couple of days.
It's true what they say that the biggest battlefield people have to deal with is your own mind, and you are the only one who can save yourself from it. Been there doing that and yes it's an almost daily struggle to stay above and keep pushing through. Yes, the water is cleansing and washing all the bad away. When he's running to the apartment he's trying to save himself. Very deep and yes emotional song that I tear up everytime I hear and watch it as I can relate to it on a couple different levels.
Thank you so much again for giving such an authentic, heart felt review. I was worried for you after hearing before about the loss of your mom (and thank you for the kind response on a previous comment of mine about the loss of my own mom to cancer) and I’m glad you were able to enjoy the song even though it was emotional and hard. True strength lies in doing things even when they’re scary, when they’re hard, when they feel impossible, and you showing the strength to have emotions in such an honest way in a public space I’m sure will work as a beacon for others to feel empowered to share their own emotions.
Yoongi truly did a beautiful job with this song and you were the reaction I’ve been waiting to see for this one since the album dropped. Thanks again for letting us see a raw, honest side of yourself and for supporting these boys and the community! 💜
thanks for your reaction, i also relate to a lot of the subjects/visuals being portrayed here. it's a tough, beautiful, relatable watch & sorry for your loss. everything is up to our own interpretation, and i was thinking that since yoongi got into his delivery accident in the rain irl, the video is showing how it could be a traumatic trigger response for him, so he runs away, rather than it being a cleansing rain like in epiphany. when you're in a downward spiral, the weight feels so heavy - "when it rains, it pours" - but i think the hopeful spirit lies in yoongi redirecting his fight or flight response into trying to save himself from his dark place. he's being super real & raw and maybe it doesn't show him 'getting out' because sometimes true healing is learning to cope with the pain that may always be around to some degree, but we can still fight to go on & keep living the full lives we deserve! we can still bloom like lotus flowers, flowers that are beautiful despite growing within muddy waters, as he says~
Your reactions are always raw and true I feel your past heartaches, x cellists has just brought out a full live performance of d day concert its awesome
This song...hhhhhh always makes me😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I cried and my life hadn't been as hard as most I think... the part that hit me most is that thinking back about choices - did I make the right choices? The first, second and third best choices... oof. Mentally crawling up that impossible hill etc those are universally relatable I think.
ahh really a hard watch. I cry every time I watch it. Thank you for another heartfelt reaction, good sir! 🥰
Thank you for watching! 💜
I hope you noticed that scar he created earlier in the video is much smaller and healing by the end of the video. He said that we create our own scars and also that the video shows his healing from the trauma he has experienced (I think it was BTS episode of the making of the MV, or maybe from the documentary on Disney Plus). #Proud of our Lotus Flower
Thank you so much for reacting to this and not being afraid to be as vulnerable as you were on this video. I’ve been through a similar path just a few years ago. I’m in a much better place now but sadly, those past traumas and the depression and negative emotions tend to come back at the most unexpected and inopportune time and there’s not much I can do to get out of my own head. I am glad I have a really great support system with my husband and a few other close people in my life now who understand me and help me while I get through those moments.
A huge THANK YOU to Agust-D for releasing a masterpiece. A huge THANK YOU as well to my fellow ARMY who have not only welcomed me, my sister and my mom into the fandom but for being such amazing people to be around overall. Stay strong Bryan and to all who are going through it right now, ARMY is here for you. 💜❤️🩹💜❤️🩹💜❤️🩹
sending you a giant hug💕 i lost my dad to cancer. i know how it feels.
I'm very sorry you lost your father 💜
The part where you cried made me cry too. I hope you're okay! Sending you love💜
I'm healing!
It's a tough song to listen agree, since i can relate to it somehow but at the same time this song comfort me somehow, strange, isn't it.
One of the most raw and honest things I’ve seen him do. And he’s given us The Last so it was a high bar. Beautiful and sadly relatable but it’s helping me deeply think about how I need to unpack past traumas. I had t even considered if the rain might be related to Epiphany but now wondering.
Brian I’m sorry about the loss of your mom (even 10 years doesn’t make it easy) and can see how this affected you. Hoping you have a good week. 💜💜💜
I appreciate your honest reaction; thank you.
i cried too , such a deep song!
“Twitter can’t handle it, the song is too epic.” 🤣 So true. Suga getting in touch with his inner rock god and I am here for it!
I am so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing them. I appreciate the honesty in your reactions. I always look forward to them. I knew this one would be tough though. Yoongi’s acting in this was top notch. He brought tears to my eyes. After what he has said about his accident and his shoulder pain, when he visualized that painful memory for us… I actually gasped when I saw it. And him dragging himself through the rain only to not be able to get out. 😭😭😭 I just want to hug him. 🥺
You are doing so well. 💜 Thank you for letting yourself be where so many of us have been with a camera on you. That's a lot.
Sending lots of 💜your way. Once again, thanks for sharing.
When I saw him for the The first time I cried 😭😭😭 I said to myself the poor I hope he had someone in those moments to talk to too many emotions it's a beautiful and very strong song It's good that he was able to do his torments very nice video and he is a good actor thank you for your comments 💜
In the lyrics of The Last, he did mention that his mother took him to see a Therapist.
Amazing song 💔 love to hear Suga’s singing voice 💜 BEAUTIFUL reaction 💜 sending hugs and blessings your way 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The Amygdala is also not just the fear center. It also deals with memories. Basically it's the structure that's almond shaped (small reference to that with Yoongi eating almonds in the MV) but it's the thing in survival that was basically like "you got hurt by a lion, this is an important thing to remember you will remember that lions are bad every time you see one". Except in today's society, it simply remembers trauma. Most events that are "important enough to be remembered" are negative (as a protection, a "don't do that again").
So basically Yoongi is trying to reason with a part of his brain that you can't reason with. It's entire purpose is to remember. So he is screaming at his Amygdala to let him let go of trauma, of the past, to be able to heal, but it's not that easy. He wants to be saved from having to remember it over and over again.
I really like that he didn't get out in the end bc mental health is like that. I've had depression for 7 to 8 years and it never leaves, it lingers like a bad after taste and you just learn to cope. Some days are much harder and you become the one screaming at your Amygdala to forget, to let you restart and heal. But it will always remember.
Min Yoongi is better and happier now... 😊
He was in a car accident. He didn't self harm.😢
His family didn't accept his music career at the very beginning. Suga said in his songs he tried suicide some times. I really love this guy for his strength and love the fact that for now he feeling good. 💜
Thanks for the reaction
It feels like I was watching for the first time again this song is so beautiful I cry everytime
I feel like a criminal whenever I come after 2-3 days 🫣🫣 But here I am as soon as I got time !
Amygdala is my favourite favourite song off his album ❤ may be the favourite favourite song ever from Yoongi ❤ No matter how sad and dark the song overall was, it also felt liberating to me 💕 Also, thanks to Yoongi, I know something new about my brain, about the Amygdala thingy, and being someone who is extremely interested in understanding human behaviour, this will give me a new dimension ✨
I think wasn't crying in the live clip because he has listened to this song thousands of times while recording, then practicing.... And given how sentimental he is irl, he must have cried while writing it, while showing it to the first person. And he might cry again while performing it in front of fans when there will be a whole lot of emotions mixed ❤
Hugs to you bryan. It’s still hard for me to watch the mv.
Thank you for this reaction ,the song it’s so hard .I cried a lot …so many people can at the moment in the world suffering the same situation like him did !!!!
Thank you very much💜
Thank you for watching! 💜
Sufrí con este tema todo ARMY sabe lo difícil que ha sido para suga llegar a donde está ahora y lo admiro por compartir con nosotros parte de su vida porque me ayuda a seguir adelante con todo lo difícil que puede ser esta vida y para los que tenemos depresión bts si es música para sanar y sus miembros cada uno es una esperanza como hobi que me ilumina sólo verlo reír , 💜💜💜💜
Melhor vídeo de reação a essa música.Obrigada tbm tive que superar minhas dores e traumas.
This song is amazing. love your reaction.
0:04 It was hard to watch but I couldn’t stop watching it. I heard he had many struggles, he is blessed to be where he is today. I don’t know but I believe that all the members have been there for each other. To me they are truly a great group of people.
thanks for this reaction ♡
This song is yet again another masterpiece. I cry so much everytime even just listening. It has such a calming sound regardless of the message.
I just got to see him at Rosemont in Chicago and cried when he performed this. I also don't know how he performs it without breaking down. He was so amazing live
I'll skip talking about the meaning since so many have already mentioned the message and everything but there is a book called Almond that he and RM recommend reading. Originally in Korean but they have a translated version out about a boy who has an underdeveloped amygdala. A good read
This is so deep and difficult to watch! 😢 Sorry about your mom. Mine, also, passed a few years ago. It’s tough.
The thing I like about BTS is they’re all about feel your feelings, feel validated in your feelings, work through your feelings, and support others through your experiences. ARMY is a family and it’s ok to show and speak about your feelings here. The point of this community, based on its founding father (😜), PD Bang, is letting music heal us and letting 💜BTS and ARMY heal each other. 💜
I cried so much after listening this song it's my favourite song of album 😢😢 i like this song alot 💜💜
Borahae Brian.
💜
It’s been amazing watching your journey with BTS. BTS heals. They change lives. They’ve changed mine for sure.
Also, I always say :
What doesn’t kill you leaves you wounded.
It’s healing that makes you stronger.
Some people never heal, never are able to or never do the work. Healing is hard work and a blessing. Yoongi has healed and so have I and I am thankful for that.
Healing is extremely hard, for me, I had to completely change my way of thinking and seeing the world to start my healing process.
Thank you for watching!
Working on yourself is the hardest work there is to do in life.
Anything that you do in life that’s hard (therapy, parenting, relationships, perusing dreams, working for personal goals, etc) is hard because it forces you to do that work on yourself. These things push you, they push your buttons, and if you want to do them well then they force you to expand, to learn and grow, to be honest, to face your baggage and address it.
Many people are afraid to do those things, and so they cannot grow and heal. It takes real courage to do these things. Vulnerability takes courage. Loving takes courage, including self love. Healing takes courage.
I am so proud of the Tannies for their personal growth and hard self work. I’m proud of myself too, and you, for working so hard on those things.
I highly recommend the work of Brene Brown on this topic, if you haven’t read it. You can start with her excellent TED talks.
Borahae!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Bryan! I had to leave for work during your live premiere so I thought I'd pop back in for a second watch 😌
The first 30 seconds of this video took my breath away with the guitar and his voice. The second I saw him and the scooter I knew what would happen and I felt so bad for him. To have horrible memories that you can't get away from. I love this song. So many of us love this song because we can relate to it. I am so proud of Yoongi, and so grateful to him for entrusting his innermost feelings to all of us. He helps us by opening up. Thanks for this one. Hugs you! 💜💜💜💜💜
We don't find BTS. BTS finds us when we need them the most.
I really checking out live performances from Suga's concert
Especially for this song day 1
There are many good quality fancams out there on UA-cam
Yoongi really poured out everything into his concert, it shows
Take good care of urself too ... 😢
The moment I heard the song, I knew the music video was going to make me cry. I was right. lol. Amygdala is very possibly my favorite song off the album. Which is saying a lot because I absolutely love all the songs on this album. But Yoongi's music specifically has always hit me a little harder because I relate to a lot of it. Amygdala as a song his me very hard and the MV hit even harder. I still don't have the words for it. It does bring up a lot of things but... like so many of his other songs, it's also kind of healing. Thanks for watching this and being so genuine with your reaction. I mean, you always are genuine. But I know it can't be easy to be vulnerable on camera- but it's appreciated.
thank you Bryan, I'm glad that this video is finally out, Amygdala is my favorite song😭I cried a lot when I heard and watched the MV😭I want to say to everyone please give lots of your love and support to Yoongi😢
Bryan I want to know what is your favorite song on this D-Day album?
I don't like to state my "favorites" but Amygdala is a song I listen to repeatedly!
thank you for always being so honest with us Bryan, I'm sorry you can relate too. I'm sorry for all of us who can relate and hope things would hurt less. Lover this song, one of my favorite songs tough they're all so great but it hits way too close to home. As always Yoongi never disappoints, he only gets better and better, so proud of him
Hello Brian and everyone 💜
Hello!
💜💜💜💟💜💜💜
I really liked the song when i first heard it, it was a bit harder and darker which i typically like and even upon reading the lyrics i knew it had heavy topics about his past traumas, but it wasn't until i saw the video that it really hit and i broke down. now i can't watch or listen to the song without at least tearing up a bit. I still really enjoy it, i consider it (and the tears) cathartic.
My dad and my partner's dad both passed from liver cancer so i felt that, but the line that sticks every single time and usually starts the tears is "the first best choice, and then the second best choice, and then the third best choice. things i never asked for. things out of of my control." I have a lot of regrets in life and have made a lot of best and second best and on and on choices and i just have to hope my decisions were the best i could have made at the time... i dont know how to explain it but those simple words just hit really hit hard.
This made me cry because he did try to commit suicide but Jin stopped him and saved him. Yoongi is so strong to get to place that he is happy and comfortable. 💜💜 he truely is an amazing person. I'm sorry for your loss. Cancer is not easy at all. I lost both my parents to the same cancer.
Hmmmmmm - I think it's safe to say: Suga's song has triggered MANY dark memories/trauma that Army on a Global scale - endured. This is the 1st time I've ever done this. Am going to post my reply - 5 mins ago - to a Baby Army. If this is wrong, DM? Please let me know.
"Dear Lex: As a 55 yr old Army Mom who lives on the tiniest Island in the Caribbean (population....4k) and discovered our boys in 2016? Over the past seven yrs in here - have subbed and seen probably hundreds of new BTS reactioners....start from 10 members (back then) to over 500K plus today. So I'll say the same thing I said - 6 yrs ago - to a young man who wouldn't stop apologizing - for losing it - over one of BTS' vids. He openly wept and was so upset. I believe it was the Spring Day vid - once the lyrics (were explained) and what it was based on.
"Never apologize for crying in front of us because when you cry? Trust me - We as Army watching your transparency....cry along side and WITH you. You've joined a Global family - who will always have your back".
The trigger warning for this vid is for good reason: Just as it brought back memories of your life altering car accident and the yrs spent dealing with it's aftermath? In 2016...after 5 years spent in a highly abusive relationship (on all levels?) Was on the verge of committing the 'S' word because....I was at a point where, my ex had broken me. Made me doubt my sanity/self worth to where - I 'hated' myself. Was looking at a YT vid when suddenly BTS broke in with their vid of 'fake Love'. was so annoyed (lol). Who are these guys? Never heard of them but their dancing...visuals and message were enough.
Long story short. Went down the BTS Rabbit Hole and.....credit these seven boys (back then) PLUS ARMY for - literally - saving my life. Their msg of 'self love', GAVE ME THE STRENGTH to kick my ex to the curb and start over. From the beginning. Never looked back. Especially once the message spread around the World - "BTS come into your life....when needed the MOST".
Well....I bawled my arse off upon hearing this song and it triggered my own painful memories of that 'dark' time because although not explicitly 'shown' in this vid? Suga has always been open about being in his 'dark place' . Battling his depression and how close he came to - the 'S' word.
Thank you for sharing your traumatic experience with us, Lex. Am sending you love, light and positive vibes from hundreds of miles away. As Army...you're part of the largest family in the World so, Borahea, sweetie 💜💜💜💜"
Truth is DM? In sharing his painful past and the battle he's overcome? I saw how it affected you. My deepest condolences on the passing of your Mummy and what she went through. Nuff said. *hugs*...... I seriously 💜💜 You.
Yup that was a tough one but grateful he's willing and able to share it with us🥲 thx for your reaction
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Wait he has a documentary on disney plus? I'm so confused
Yes! Hobi also has one. . I don't know if you know. And there will be one by BTS, as far as I understand, but nobody knows when it will come out.
@@BirdBird-wr8px bet I'm gonna go watch them both thankyou
Now please reacr to SNOOZE
how many ppl think agust d dies at the end? no hate just curious
Many people have gone through traumatic experiences. I haven't had any (I had some experiences that definitely screw me up, but it's not life changing), and I'm very grateful. In general, I don't really face too much hardship in life, and that's why I'm even more scared of something going wrong because I've never went through anything. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if something truly bad happened. I feel depressed every once in a while, I also have some anxieties, but I feel like I don"t deserve to feel that way because my life has been decent so far. It makes me scared whenever I listen to people open up about their trauma, and I admire them for being strong to survive. Yoongi is my ult bias, and I was emotional watching this. He is truly wise and brave, a man whose words are always coming from experiences, and never empty
Once again, thank you for vulnerable sharing and reacting.
I loved this explanation video: ua-cam.com/video/r23sfh9PetQ/v-deo.html.
I'm glad he didn't show himself escaping. Bc Yoongi never sugar coats. And the fight is never entirely over. All we can do is learn healthier coping skills, and keep getting up each day and trying. He said in a note or interview that he doesn't release music about his struggles until he has found peace and balance with them. He writes as a form of therapy for himself, but only once he's moved past stuff a bit does he actually release that stuff. So this was something he was really working hard on about three-four years ago. He made the decision to get his shoulder surgery during that time. The pandemic gave him some, maybe unwanted, time to focus on himself.
In the behind video on Bangtan TV, he said he wanted green jacket Yoongi to be taking pills. At the last minute, they switched those to almonds. So it wd have been like him watching his mind, taking meds, sort of removed and observing. I guess they thought pills all through the vid was a bit too much (it wasn't his decision to change it). He said he had to really push hard just to show the silhouette of him cutting himself, bc it was very important to show that we give scars and wounds to ourselves.
At the end, I think he was trying to unlive the memory of his accident, so like, maybe if he hadn't gone out that day, if, if, if. He can't erase the events and choices of the past. He's not gonna lie to us and pretend it's all over. Luckily he has found peace and a healthier way to work through his troubles.
What a gift this song and music video is. 🤕🩹🔥💞
My Mom underwent 8 heart surgeries during a span of a few years when I was growing up. That line was like a punch in my face. Now I am a huge fan of the song and it’s been very healing for me. My mom is lucky enough to be alive and well today. There’s a lot of struggle in this world, but there’s an equal amount of beauty and hope. Sometimes you need to look more carefully for it to balance out the bad 💜
