BTS Rapline don't like mumble Rappers especially Suga doesn't like mumble Rap they are all about lyrics being important and having meaning but they don't specifically attack at certain people names they have more class but DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng you should watch please
You should watch the explanation video for "Ddaeng": BTS - DDAENG Explained by a Korean - UA-cam (it will give you an idea of their true brilliance). Much of the lyrics are in reference to Korean culture, so you need the Korean explanation (the video is in English, so you won't need the CC).💜💜💜
if you want to request something go to their patreon and pay 3$ they said no matter how many request they get here on youtube only patreon members have a say on request. So let's just hope that maybe one of the members will request it 💪
Ddaeng has a lot of meanings. The word play of this song is just STUNNING. You should watch the DKDKTV's explanation of Ddaeng (Ddaeng explained by a Korean) to appreciate the amazing word play in this.
i think i should mention this but ddaeng isn't a word lol,, its a sound effect. that's partly why it has no translation. the other reason is that when you /do/ use it as a word, it has so many different meanings no singular word can actually be used to replace it. i HIGHLY recommend checking out the DKDKTV Ddaeng explained video since, as the title suggests, explains a lot.
Came to the comments to say this! So much can be lost in translation so it’s really interesting to look up videos that explain. Helps you to be able to enjoy the song on a whole new level.
A few things: -Ddaeng is like an anti-diss track, instead of dissing people they're saying thanks because you underestimated and hated on us so much we were able to do better than you. -They were criticized (when aren't they) that once they started touring the US and appearing on the US talk shows that they were too westernized. So their response of that is releasing a trap song with oriental instrumentation and what they are wearing is Korean traditional clothing called Hanbok. (It may use traditional Korean instruments as well but I'm not sure). -RM's stuttering is his imitation of people who after shitting and hating on them came around back to apologize. So the stuttering is what it sounded like to him.
Ill say it once, it is a crime to watch any Rapline video without watching the dkdktv explained by a korean series. The amount of context missed is insane. I never cared to look into lyrics until I heard them rap. Once you understand it all, especially why or when the rapline wrote something itll make it that much more powerful. Looking at OUTRO Tear when jhope closes with his line it makes everyone cry. its insane.
I honestly agree here, if you don't watch the DKDKTV (or in some cases other channels') explained video you don't really understand the song. It's impossible to watch it as a Western viewer and have any clue about it. I know you guys have said you really just want to react to videos, and that's fine...you and your viewers should at least watch any explained videos for BTS music on your own, though. You'll be glad you did.
It’s borderline disrespectful to how much work they put into the story of the song lol. But I used to enjoy music without reading lyrics as well. I just wish I turned a new leaf sooner.
And you are correct that in the part where RM is "stuttering" it's a diss, no one in particular, usuallyyyy their raps are not directed at someone specific, but more like if "you're offended that's on you". Also wanted to say you actually did a good job catching on to a few of the meaning of "ddaeng" in the song, of which there are many!
"they almost use ddaeng as an english word dang. it's so clever" they have like almost 20 different meanings of the word ddaeng in this song. now THAT is clever
Our boys are Korean so they use Korean instruments in their music not Japanese. The string sound is Gayageum, flute sound is probably Sogeum or Daegeum. They are very proud of their heritage so please respect that.
I really LOVE DDAENG, BECAUSE IT'S A SONG THAT TALKS ABOUT THEIR HATERS. ITS LIKE THEM(BTS) SAYING THANKS FOR THE HATERS BECAUSE THEY GAVE THEM TOO MUCH ATTENTION. IMAGINE A WHOLE SONG DEDICATED TO HATERS? BRUH, THIS SONG MUST BE SHOWN TO EVERYONE HATERS. HATERS NEEDS TO APPRECIATE THEMSELVES TOO.🤭 ANYWAY, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK THE EXPLANATION FOR THIS SONG ON DKDKTV. YOU GUYS, R ALLY REACT TO WELL. THANKS FOR REACTING 💜
I think to really appreciate Ddaeng, you should watch the explanation video. Ddaeng itself in this song was used with many different meaning. The world play and references they made in the songs will no doubt go over your head if you weren't korean or if you are not too familiar with the culture. As always, i enjoyed your reaction and how you analyse the lyrics! Thanks!💜 Here’s the link for the explanation video: ua-cam.com/video/fdJl1SL03Ac/v-deo.html
if you want to request something go to their patreon and pay 3$ they said no matter how many request they get here on youtube only patreon members have a say on request. So let's just hope that maybe one of the members will request it 💪
After you watch DKDKTV’s explanation of Ddaeng, please react to RM’s Joke lyric video followed by RM’s Joke MV. Then on to Suga’s Intro Shadow MV. I enjoy your reactions!💜💜
See? They do diss tracks too. They're not as pure as you thought they were, which is not realistic at all. They shouldn't be halo-fied at all. They can kick ass as anyone out there. Good for them!!! We don't want lame floor mats who'd just take insults with a silly grin on their faces as our stans. We want them strong but also loving, understanding and compassionate as they really are, but they shouldn't ever be underestimated or equated as cotton candy boys. They'll fight back with their genius in music and word play and you'll hurt! And that's why ARMY loves them.
I love watching you guys trying to figure it out. Like everyone else has said you should check out the explanation video. They used ddaeng in at least 3 different ways. My fave is, on game shows in South Korea, if you get the answer wrong they shout ddaeng (wrong) at you. Really worth checking out. 😘💜
You caught a lot of the meanings and caught the stuttering, but there is a bunch of Korean references that will make even more amazed. There is also a Ddaeng perfomance where the vocal line gets involved which is cute.
All the instruments used in ddaeng are traditional Korean musical instruments, not Japanese nor Chinese..they might sound similar but they are actually different. Also the traditional attire BTS are wearing is Hanbok, Korean traditional clothing from Joseon Dynasty, the old Korean kingdom from 12th century throughout 19th century.
Mmmm, i do love a long reaction video 🥰 I know that plenty of people have already suggested you watch the DDAENG EXPLAINED BY A KOREAN vid by DKDKTV. I reccomend watching all their BTS explained videos if you end up listening to more of their music. There's a lot of word play and cultural context that goes over our heads as non-Koreans - hearing the perspective of a native speaker gives it so much more depth, it'll blow your mind 💜
if you want to request something go to their patreon and pay 3$ they said no matter how many request they get here on youtube only patreon members have a say on request. So let's just hope that maybe one of the members will request it 💪
The beautiful instrument is called a Zither. A musician played it during one of my Master Chorale concerts as we sang a traditional Chinese song in Chinese.
BTS came from a small label company, but they were called monster rookie on the industry because of their talent (singing, rapping, dancing, composing, writing and producing) and charm. That threatened the major label companies and most fans of the other KPop groups hated them so much. They never address their haters like in interviews or what not but they respond to them artistically, thru their music.
YAYYY!!! Thank you for your reaction!! DDaeng is just one of those songs that require an explanation from a native Korean speaker, which you can find on youtube, b/c the play on words and references are not something you can fully grasp as a non-speaker! I'm glad you enjoyed the song you should check out the video on DKDKTV's channel if you're interested in the explanation.
And to think this masterpiece of a song was given to us for free as a gift on bts’ group anniversary (which btw is this June 13) This song is not on Spotify or any other steaming platforms (only SoundCloud) they did not make money off of this, they are absolutely insane for this song which is fully produced and wrote by J-hope, Suga and RM Every year from the 1st of June to the 13, bts releases special videos and performances for their upcoming anniversary and most of the time we get a song from one of them, in 2018 it was ddaeng. There’s a lot of wordplay in this, and I liked you interpretation but this song hits so much harder once you get the full meaning of the lyrics. I’m sure everyone has told u do go watch the dkdktv explanation video, it’s a good video to watch. Looking forward to the live! Take care
if you want to request something go to their patreon and pay 3$ they said no matter how many request they get here on youtube only patreon members have a say on request. So let's just hope that maybe one of the members will request it 💪
1-8 1-3 3-8 DDAENG! The best hand you can get in a popular korean card game. Think royal flush. I would totally suggest watching explanation videos as part of your reaction to these songs, either before or after on the same vid. I think seeing your whole reaction to the song and the meanings behind the lyrics would be very cool. There’s a lot to this song I couldn’t begin to cover here. For example, I think they use 7 different meanings of “ddaeng” throughout the song lol I forget what hand RM and Suga played in the writing but I’m sure it was significant, if not completely by them, they’re brilliant songwriters!
Suga has said that he includes a lot of Korean cultural music in his lyrics, and he worked on this track I believe. Ddaeng has many meanings, it would take too long to explain. DKDKTV has a great explanation video. By the way, many of their influences are American Hip Hop/Rap artists. And a lot of old style classic influence.
We want the same... WE NEED to see BTS live like tomorrow... I haven't yet seen them in a live concert... their concerts sell out in literal minutes. I've watched 3 of their online concerts so far. They have an online concert this weekend - FESTA to celebrate their 8th anniversary.
Tae excitedly bouncing in while the rapline is performing will never not be hilarious to me. He is absolutely their biggest fan and it's like he just couldn't help himself.
DDAENG with traditional KOREAN instruments was a free bonus track that they had released, but technically its kind of like an unofficial fifth cypher (Rapline Cyphers 1-4 + DDAENG).
So many layers of meaning to this one guys. Like everyone else says you need to see DKDKTV breakdown to grasp just how much wordplay and reference goes into the lyrics.
I adore BTS in great part because I’m a psychologist and their wordplay and existential philosophy is just incredible. RM‘s ability to utilize concepts of Jungian psychology is pretty cool. But this song takes the cake. You absolutely, as everyone has said, need to see the explanation as they’re actually implying numerous layers of meaning this word implies all in one song.
Rim's word play in here is sick!! Go look up the reaction to the meaning of this song. You'll be all mixed up trying to wrap your head around this in so many ways....
i love how after the song ended, Hobi/Jhope just said "ddaeng, Ddaeng" in tiny.. like I can't with their duality EDIT: also, some ARMY think that "Ddaeng" is like lowkey their Cypher pt. 5.. I mean, I thought so too lol
@D RSRIPAAH oh yeah.. he got to live his dream as a rapper.. their whole interaction in that one is so cute.. like the rapline have the proud smiles on their faces
Has anyone suggested BTS' cypher pt. 1, 2, 3, 4 yet? Love your reaction about Ddaeng, and I am excited how you would react to their cypher series 💜 btw, in the last part where RM mentioned about the frog and he hopes they will die earnestly in the well, you might take a reference at the story about the "frog in a well", where it thought of the well as the 'world' when there is so much to explore outside of it. Take the well as the small country of Korea while BTS is already exploring the worldwide stage.
Not Japanese or just oriental, it's a type of Korean styles..^^........ You know many different countries have their own different styles. And also Korean people doesn't like to be compared with other East asia countries because they've historically been suffered a lot more than people can imagine. For example, you wouldn't like it if I say American's culture or song is the same with Canadian ones even though you guys share the same continent. Btw I always enjoy you guys's reactions!! Thanks
BIG CROWN, cause I made it to the end. I love your reactions guys, keep it like that! Ofc I'm an ARMY and I came for the BTS ones but I will be sure to support slowly your older videos too :)))
Props for a great reaction video without any background info! Impressed you were able to pick up on a lot of the meanings of Ddaeng, and appreciate the discussion! Others have dropped the dkdktv explanation video- RM's verse actually used 7 different meanings of Ddaeng, so crazy. And RM's verse about "frog in the well" also references a Korean folktale about a frog in the well that thinks his small well is the whole world- so BTS is responding to Korean rappers that give them hate, that they aren't even competing worldwide like BTS. From Dkdktv explanation he also explains that "frog" sounds almost the same as "fing lame" lol.
You guys should check out their 2016 performance at the mama in Hong Kong. Their performances at award shows always turn into a mini concert. This one is my favorite.
I'm so amazed, your analysis are always on the right path, so close... it's pretty crazy but if you look into these vids, you'll get even a more, bigger understanding of these songs, lyrics and how much more meaningful they are. Resoect.
Just in RM's verse Ddaeng is used in 07 different ways. The DKDKTV explanation is really necessary on this (for UGH and Baepsae as well). The wordplay is amazing
This was during their 2018GrandFesta celebration even for their 6th group anniversary which is June 13th. In fact, they just recently had their 8th anniversary yesterday a few days before that they released 2021FESTA BTS ROOM LIVE and then on their official anniversary they had two-day MUSTER CONCERT that you can recap their LIVE performances on BANGTAN TV channel.
I think that you'll need to watch Ddaeng explained by a Korean. You'll never be able to get the entire song at its face value alone because the word Ddaeng itself has deep cultural connotations and its use in the song is multi-layed and a product of Namjoon's (his IQ is 148), Yoongi's (another musical genius), and Hobi's genius at word play. And while we're at this, Asia is not just China and Japan. East Asia alone has 6 active states namely: China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan. Each state possesses its own unique culture, so an oriental-sounding instrument doesn't necessary have to be Japanese alone. By the way, I'm a 53-year ARMY from the Philippines. The Philippines is a country which is part of the southeast region of Asia. Sorry about the lecture. But i think that there is need for it considering your increased interest on BTS. Which I appreciate, by the way. Peace and borahae 💜 ua-cam.com/video/fdJl1SL03Ac/v-deo.html
Dudes I know how you feel about reaction videos BUT this is the exception. Watch that video to enjoy the brilliance of the rap line it will literally blow you away. Regardless of whether you react to it or not it’s a must!!!
Everyday BTS has recuited more fans. And last year when they were supposed to go on tour. Getting tickets was like Hunger Games. And 99% of tickets holders are still holding on them. So u will be fighting for that 1% amongst the thousands who missed and new recuited fans. So good luck.... also there is an explanation video by DKDKTV. They do great jobs with other BTS songs too. So check them out. It worth to sub them too
There's to much to explain in this, it's better to just watch a am explaination video DKDKTV is good... I also just realized u can't have seen the cyphers yet hahahahahhahahaha ohhh I can't wait
You guys really need to watch the DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng. It explains the ways RM uses the word Ddaeng (about 12-14 different meanings I believe) and it's a prime example of his skill at wordplay. It also explains the references to the numbers, the frogs in the well. To be honest without the explanation there's a lot that probably won't make much sense. There's also a video of a performance with the vocal line joining in which is epic.
Like everyone else has mentioned here, you need to watch the explanation video. This song is genius wordplay because it uses ddaeng in a different way for almost every single line in a way that English speakers do not understand. Once you do you understand you will realize how clever and intelligent this song is.
I almost never comment but you guys are so off with the meaning. Please do react to the DKDTV explanation if you actually care about the lyricism. It’s not just double entendres but more like septuple/octuple entendres. If you just want to just bop to it, carry on.
They have upcoming concert on 13 and 14 june (actually its more of a fanmeeting concert called MUSTER) they do this almost every year to celebrate their anniversary. U should really watch it if u want to experience them live (for now live on tv lol)
Also, another context: this song was performed at a fanmeet - it wasn't even a large scale concert. It was just a fun event they hold every year for their fans to celebrate their debut anniversary. They created a whole ass quality song, released it for free on Sound Cloud, and then performed it at a fanmeet. This song is so good, but it isn't even on Spotify, because they didn't release it as an official single.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I'm really enjoying watching your BTS Journey and the fact that you enjoying knowing BTS Is just make me feel Honored for Introducing you to BTS
Someone may have already mentioned it, Ddaeng has a video that explains the lyrics because the meanings are tied to Korean Culture The explanation is on DKDKTV YT channel
The reference of Ramen affecting the face is because of the sodium content (especially in the spices used) causes bloating, especially in face. In kdramas and Korean variety shows like Run BTS, Running Man, etc. it is a running. commentary .

Yes! Please watch this explanation video. All your questions will be answered :D

Ddaeng not only means "tag" in this song! They use it several different ways. You need to check out the explanation video by DKDKTV!
Haters: I HATE YOU.
RM : *smiles
And you are correct that in the part where RM is "stuttering" it's a diss, no one in particular, usuallyyyy their raps are not directed at someone specific, but more like if "you're offended that's on you".

Yea please do!
Can't wait to see you guys react to BTS MMA 2019 performance

Hell YESSSSSS
Wait, 2018 first!!
Our boys are Korean so they use Korean instruments in their music not Japanese. The string sound is Gayageum, flute sound is probably Sogeum or Daegeum. They are very proud of their heritage so please respect that.
Right? I find it so funny how a lot of reactors automatically assume it’s either Japanese or Chinese when BTS are a whole Korean group.
Yes 😭😭 thang you🙏
I really LOVE DDAENG, BECAUSE IT'S A SONG THAT TALKS ABOUT THEIR HATERS. ITS LIKE THEM(BTS) SAYING THANKS FOR THE HATERS BECAUSE THEY GAVE THEM TOO MUCH ATTENTION. IMAGINE A WHOLE SONG DEDICATED TO HATERS? BRUH, THIS SONG MUST BE SHOWN TO EVERYONE HATERS. HATERS NEEDS TO APPRECIATE THEMSELVES TOO.🤭

It's so satisfying people analyze the lyrics while watching bts. Love it, man. Keep it up👍
This reaction had me rolling! 💀 🤣
Tae excitedly bouncing in while the rapline is performing will never not be hilarious to me. He is absolutely their biggest fan and it's like he just couldn't help himself.
It is written by rapline and produced by SUGA. You should watch explanation by DKDKTV

They are geniuses when it come to writing their songs...there are so many hidden meanings behind this song that you guys will be shocked ....
..
DDAENG vocal lone live it's just on fire 🔥🔥😭
I love your interpretation of it. Especially bc a small army theory I saw yesterday was that that's exactly what they did with Butter 😅
RM is a lyrical genius.
Rim's word play in here is sick!! Go look up the reaction to the meaning of this song. You'll be all mixed up trying to wrap your head around this in so many ways....
i love how after the song ended, Hobi/Jhope just said "ddaeng, Ddaeng" in tiny.. like I can't with their duality
EDIT: also, some ARMY think that "Ddaeng" is like lowkey their Cypher pt. 5.. I mean, I thought so too lol
@D RSRIPAAH oh yeah.. he got to live his dream as a rapper.. their whole interaction in that one is so cute.. like the rapline have the proud smiles on their faces
Has anyone suggested BTS' cypher pt. 1, 2, 3, 4 yet? Love your reaction about Ddaeng, and I am excited how you would react to their cypher series 💜 btw, in the last part where RM mentioned about the frog and he hopes they will die earnestly in the well, you might take a reference at the story about the "frog in a well", where it thought of the well as the 'world' when there is so much to explore outside of it. Take the well as the small country of Korea while BTS is already exploring the worldwide stage.
Not Japanese or just oriental, it's a type of Korean styles..^^........ You know many different countries have their own different styles.
And also Korean people doesn't like to be compared with other East asia countries because they've historically been suffered a lot more than people can imagine. For example, you wouldn't like it if I say American's culture or song is the same with Canadian ones even though you guys share the same continent. Btw I always enjoy you guys's reactions!! Thanks
He is talking about the Korean rapper B Free who raps in English.
Please watch Ddaeng Explained, they use SO MUCH wordplay in this song but it's hard to understand without the Korean cultural context.
You cannot enjoy this song without knowing its Explanation....and same is the case with "UGH"
BTS HAS ONE OF THE BEST RAPPER IN KPOP INDUSTRY
Correction *two* rm and suga
@@shainakalesh ???
Does bts has only one best rapper?
@@shainakalesh i think you misunderstood bcoz my grammar is wrong
BTS RAP LINE IS ONE OF THE BEST RAP LINE IN KPOP INDUSTRY*
There’s an AWESOME video explaining the lyrics. The word play is out of this world.
Thanks for the reaction. Can't WAIT for the BTS CYPHERS.
BIG CROWN, cause I made it to the end. I love your reactions guys, keep it like that! Ofc I'm an ARMY and I came for the BTS ones but I will be sure to support slowly your older videos too :)))
Props for a great reaction video without any background info! Impressed you were able to pick up on a lot of the meanings of Ddaeng, and appreciate the discussion! Others have dropped the dkdktv explanation video- RM's verse actually used 7 different meanings of Ddaeng, so crazy.
And RM's verse about "frog in the well" also references a Korean folktale about a frog in the well that thinks his small well is the whole world- so BTS is responding to Korean rappers that give them hate, that they aren't even competing worldwide like BTS. From Dkdktv explanation he also explains that "frog" sounds almost the same as "fing lame" lol.
Soo love this interpretation 🥰💜💜
*▶▶BILLBOARD named RM #3 + SUGA #9 "TOP SONGWRITERS -YEAR END 2020"! RESPECT!🔥🔥*
I have a obsession with this song🔥🔥🔥
You guys should check out their 2016 performance at the mama in Hong Kong. Their performances at award shows always turn into a mini concert. This one is my favorite.
I'm so amazed, your analysis are always on the right path, so close... it's pretty crazy but if you look into these vids, you'll get even a more, bigger understanding of these songs, lyrics and how much more meaningful they are. Resoect.
아니 영상 다 쭉 보는데 외국 리액셔너 중 이렇게 잘 이해하는 사람들 처음 본다 너무 좋아 솔직히 땡은 진짜 가사가 외국인이 이해하기 어려워서 리액션 안 보는데 재밌게 봤다 진짜..
So you didn't noticed rapline's biggest fan taetae there 🤣🤣🤣
The explanation by dkdktv is a must. Cause ddaeng literally had 7 meanings and they use all of em in this songs.
Just in RM's verse Ddaeng is used in 07 different ways. The DKDKTV explanation is really necessary on this (for UGH and Baepsae as well). The wordplay is amazing
I want to see this live so much! I enjoyed your reaction a lot. Thanks, guys!
This was during their 2018GrandFesta celebration even for their 6th group anniversary which is June 13th. In fact, they just recently had their 8th anniversary yesterday a few days before that they released 2021FESTA BTS ROOM LIVE and then on their official anniversary they had two-day MUSTER CONCERT that you can recap their LIVE performances on BANGTAN TV channel.
I've been watching your videos over and over , so here I am again, hey! 💜
U guys are amazing, im loving ur bts reaction. Cant wait for CYPHER 1,2,3, and 4.
Please React To "DDAENG" Explained Video 😎
I think that you'll need to watch Ddaeng explained by a Korean. You'll never be able to get the entire song at its face value alone because the word Ddaeng itself has deep cultural connotations and its use in the song is multi-layed and a product of Namjoon's (his IQ is 148), Yoongi's (another musical genius), and Hobi's genius at word play.
And while we're at this, Asia is not just China and Japan.
East Asia alone has 6 active states namely:
China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan. Each state possesses its own unique culture, so an oriental-sounding instrument doesn't necessary have to be Japanese alone.
By the way, I'm a 53-year ARMY from the Philippines. The Philippines is a country which is part of the southeast region of Asia.
Sorry about the lecture. But i think that there is need for it considering your increased interest on BTS. Which I appreciate, by the way. Peace and borahae 💜

Dudes I know how you feel about reaction videos BUT this is the exception. Watch that video to enjoy the brilliance of the rap line it will literally blow you away. Regardless of whether you react to it or not it’s a must!!!
Everyday BTS has recuited more fans. And last year when they were supposed to go on tour. Getting tickets was like Hunger Games. And 99% of tickets holders are still holding on them. So u will be fighting for that 1% amongst the thousands who missed and new recuited fans. So good luck.... also there is an explanation video by DKDKTV. They do great jobs with other BTS songs too. So check them out. It worth to sub them too
There's to much to explain in this, it's better to just watch a am explaination video DKDKTV is good... I also just realized u can't have seen the cyphers yet hahahahahhahahaha ohhh I can't wait
By the way even if you think you've already watched an introduction the different ones always bring new information to paint a fuller picture.
You guys really need to watch the DKDKTV explanation of Ddaeng. It explains the ways RM uses the word Ddaeng (about 12-14 different meanings I believe) and it's a prime example of his skill at wordplay. It also explains the references to the numbers, the frogs in the well. To be honest without the explanation there's a lot that probably won't make much sense. There's also a video of a performance with the vocal line joining in which is epic.
Like everyone else has mentioned here, you need to watch the explanation video. This song is genius wordplay because it uses ddaeng in a different way for almost every single line in a way that English speakers do not understand. Once you do you understand you will realize how clever and intelligent this song is.
Can't wait for yall to react to their song called Hip Hop lover, the lyrics!! I bet yall will love it
Finally I subscribed when you said i love BTS. I love you guys' BTS reactions.
Rm have IQ 148 so genius
Cypher medley live next please! 🙏
I almost never comment but you guys are so off with the meaning. Please do react to the DKDTV explanation if you actually care about the lyricism. It’s not just double entendres but more like septuple/octuple entendres. If you just want to just bop to it, carry on.
They have upcoming concert on 13 and 14 june (actually its more of a fanmeeting concert called MUSTER) they do this almost every year to celebrate their anniversary. U should really watch it if u want to experience them live (for now live on tv lol)
Omg guys, PLEASE react to the vocal line singing Ddaeng😂 it’s.... *chefs kiss*
I can tell you guys are became addicted to these beautiful people also lol 💜
Guys.. Guys… “Purge Jay Park.” If you want to see more underground Korean rap. The video has some of the TOP rappers in Korea right now.
Ddaeng is just something else.
Rapline just put fire in their songs and full your Energy.
You really Should check out
UGH
CYPHER PT.1 TO PT.4 too.
Also, another context: this song was performed at a fanmeet - it wasn't even a large scale concert. It was just a fun event they hold every year for their fans to celebrate their debut anniversary. They created a whole ass quality song, released it for free on Sound Cloud, and then performed it at a fanmeet. This song is so good, but it isn't even on Spotify, because they didn't release it as an official single.
Thank you so much for your reaction.
I'm really enjoying watching your BTS Journey and the fact that you enjoying knowing BTS Is just make me feel Honored for Introducing you to BTS
RM is the best rapper for me
Thanks for reacting.
I believe all ARMYs can agree DKDKTV is the only channel that can properly explain this song
Someone may have already mentioned it, Ddaeng has a video that explains the lyrics because the meanings are tied to Korean Culture
The explanation is on DKDKTV YT channel
Watch Cyper 1-4 , Ugh and Tear
The reference of Ramen affecting the face is because of the sodium content (especially in the spices used) causes bloating, especially in face. In kdramas and Korean variety shows like Run BTS, Running Man, etc. it is a running. commentary .
👑 Love your reactions
