oh. oh i get it. the ‘mad king’ with scars is the persona who’s still trapped in that dark room. no wonder yoongi keeps killing him in his MVs. it’s not just a political symbolism-it also signifies his endless pursuit of moving forward. of erasing his old scarred self to carry on
This is also reflected on Haegum. The gangsta yoongi/suga/agust D didnt have scar anymore like his two self on Daechwita (the mad king is his first scar get created that turn him to be mad and full of pain and anger (yoongi life events in the past). Then the "bottomclass" Yoongi who from the future (2020) killed his crazy past self (the mad king). But the scar is not heal yet, that why the bottomclass yoongi even he is from the future n killed the king(his mad past self), but he still have that scar. He might be not that mad and angry like before anymore, but the scar n pain it still there (he still cant set free from that pain) and it still controlling him. In Haegum, that bottomclass Yoongi become a head police, he may be success to kill the king but he still control yoongi. Yoongi cant be free from him (his pain/scar). Then,, as Yoongi said, he is not angry anymore n can forgive to all people who hurting him n made peace with himself, hence he will more focus to his present rather being hurt with his past or afraid in the future. He break his limit that is controlling him. That why the gangster Yoongi didnt have a scar like the mad king also the bottomclass suga (or now he is the head police). It's a symbolic that that scar is already heal now. And he ready to let go his past completely with killing the bottomclass suga/head police, as hisnlast string for his past scar that still lingering. He is the new haegum who finally free from his past self that full of scar.
I love the storytelling and lyricism and how all three music videos are connected. Amygdala is definitely Yoongi at his most vulnerable and I still get teary at all the pain he’s endured throughout his life.
Yoongi’s explanation to staff during that Amygdala MV meeting: “This is the story of my life, you know. Before I reached the age of 20, I'd already had a lot of things going on in my life. I really want to talk about how I got the scar over my eye in this song. n a way, we're responsible for all our own wounds and scars. No one can dodge the first arrow of trouble, of course, but when that second arrow flies at you, you've chosen to just stand there and get hit, rather than learn from the first time.”
This is the story of his life. And he has enough courage to show us what he went through and how he overcame it all. The accident that cost him years of pain, the illness of his mother, his father... All the doubts he had growing up made him what he is today - an exceptional artist!
Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 3:42. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychologic condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.
Think they put that adult content warning because of the self harm plus prolly the medication he was taking “probably” for depression. But I’m with you, this is real life. Everyone should be exposed to this. The symbol of that scar was a revelation to me. I’ve always thought it was born of anger especially since we first saw it in Daechwita but it was more self inflected. Because of all the pain he had inside he inflected that scar on himself. 😭 I cried watching this. But even before I knew what he was saying I already cried…even without knowing the language u could feel the pain and sadness in the music. All the pain and suffering he must have gone through while training and being a BTS member. Sigh. It hurts my heart. I’m so thankful that he shares his personal feelings with us. I’m going to be a mess during the concert 😭 thank u for another great reaction vid 💜
Children shouldn't be exposed to that - makes for better grounded adults. Teens? Some can and some can't deal. It is a very indivudal question. But yes: the warning was for the self-harm. I'm happy that Min Yoongi is in a far more stable place now. He healed and forgave himself! 💜
Exposed to it? To some extent yes! But to those of us who have experienced thorns situations and emotions and not yet recovered it's very difficult to watch without triggering those feelings again.
@@ruthfischer7615 Well the fact is you simply cannot control what a child may or may not be exposed to. I'd much rather have them learn about it through a very controlled environment like a music video, where an adult can explain the situation in an understandable way for their age. Rather than the reality that tons of kids have to be exposed to these kinds of things through real life events that they're forced to cope with and endure. It's good for kids to know about these kinds of struggles in life so the stigma around struggling in general never has the chance to develop, which is ultimately what keeps many people from getting help when they do actually come to need it. You just have to know what level of exposure to give to a kid based on their age, whether they can handle things being more harsh or not.
@@AliceBunny05 If you sit next to the child and can explain? Perhaps I wasn't allowed to watch the "Action" TV shows of the 80s because I tended to get nightmares. Or at least at one time I had one. An elementary teacher brought more nightmares by telling us about people deing at a fire in public transport/train station. Like I said: some people/children can cope and some can't. Self harm is tricky. Some use it to give face to their inner pain: cutting. It can become addicting for those who do it and very tricky to get away from. The warning exists for a reason. And it can trigger people. I like those warnings because you can made an informed decision: can you or can't you cope. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 💜
Exactly, I really like the way you put it. I saw another reactor get annoyed at the warning and no offense but I find that stupid or at the very least insensitive 😕. Because it’s completely reasonable for them to take into account the fact that younger people or people who have experienced something similar could be negatively affected by some scenes. And whether it’s “completely reasonable” or not it’s very easy to understand why they would do that
Not only the trauma. He portrays the fact that he will have sudden nightmares that bring it all back, and he wants to tuck it away. Most likely he will live with those nightmares most of his life when the memories creep out again. He said in his documentary that working on Amygdala caused a lot of mood swings. So brave. This is a masterpiece.
Yes i kinda agree that younger people should see the real stuffs but it's a trigger warning which isn't unnecessary or smthing it's for everyone not only for kids it's just a warning that it can trigger ur own struggles which people don't wanna relive it has that disclaimer cause of traumatic experience and self harm which i m so glad they put it on cause for this mv it's freaking needed specially if u also have been thru that trauma in ur life or going thru it's very essential... This mv hits so hard firstly for those who knows yoongi all deep and everything bout him and for those (including me)who have thru the same experience or worse which is potrayed here bout self harm and depression i like cried and felt so uneasy at the first watch of this mv cause it was reviving my those memories too which i too don't wanna face again& again no.womder they had to put that disclaimer..it's like heartaching but also healing in kinda a way this man really has my whole heart 🥺💜💜
Courageously Min Yoongi has written "Amygdala" as Lady Gaga wrote "Til It Happens To You" both songs about the Pain OF Trauma and its lingering PTSD and despair. But I do not think Western music critics and listeners will appreciate his song as much. Few have any knowledge of Korean, indeed Asian music. Personally I love both and applaud both artists and both songs. The adult content label probably is because of his metaphoric scarring with an X-Acto knife. I guess in US at least one out of every four early teens have cut themselves. I know I have eight grandkids and 2 have been so depressed they cut themselves. Also his consumption of pain meds and maybe anti-depressants would have triggered the warning. Ruthless honesty is not done in the US. (Note how Lady Gaga says "it" happens, but does not say rape. ) If parents or older siblings watch this with their preteens or young teens it could be a moment to talk about Life 's unexpected catastrophes and how to deal with physical and emotional pain, with undeserved tragedy, and with Depression which can be situational. Viewing together and talking about these events in Yoongi''s early life could deepen a connection between young person and caring adult. Yoongi wants us to connect and to communicate. Thank Heavens for brave Yoongi.
All the sad contents aside, I love how he is keeping his artistry and had the will to do it his way. He must have known it will run into certain censorship. It is the next step as an artist to not compromise your art and show what you truly want and feel. All in all, he is going in a great direction. I am proud of him.
I’m a Psychology Professor in UK. It’s understandable if your heart feels heavy but, shows he’s finally at peace & able to share it, as it was. I’am proud as a Psych. I hope all we talk to not matter how long it may take, they come out the other end & don’t give up. Anyone struggling use this to help heal, he’s not just done this for himself, to let Army in but, to also send the message don’t suffer in silence. I cried when I watched this & Im so proud of then gent. Stay blessed all🙏💜🧿
Suga had a real car accident before predebut at his part time job being the delivery boy riding motorcycle he was also newspaper boy delivery newspaper and he worked a graveyard shift back in high school because he couldn't afford his family couldn't afford school he had to skip bus to have a 2 dollar meal or he would skip meal to get on the bus ... and also this song is about him in the past trying to......he was suicidal but he is no longer he will no longer do it. He is reborn the lotus symbol is being reborn he is stronger now. If you want to know his past....you should see the lyrics video for suga/agust d "the last" it is heavy....
The fact that Yoongi allows himself to be this candid, raw, and vulnerable in his artistic expression is a huge part of why he's so beloved. In fact, the same goes for BTS as a whole. This is what sets them singularly apart from everyone else.
I think it’s the suggestion of self-harm. It’s a beautifully, vulnerable work of art. Hopefully, the warning is more about the gritty realism in the video. This song/video will stick with me for a long time (as it should). Really appreciate your thoughtful and insightful reactions
I am a double Dr, one being a medical one, a forensic and criminal Dr of psychiatry and a dr of forensic sciences specializes in behavioural, mapping and micro expression analysis and a profile, classified as an expert in both fields. You explained it well it’s a constant battle mental illness of any kind with yourself, he showed it exceptionally and you sir got a new subscriber. It was a very well done, his video and your take on it and I agree. Protecting your kids from certain dangers but protecting them from the real struggles they of life result in kids who lack life skills unfortunately because over parenting is damaging and personally my husband and I coming from an indigenous plains Cree treaty six background. And residential schools we told our children because they learn what they live, protecting them from life? Is harmful and as a parent who buried her youngest it is very hard but it’s important to be transparent and open so generational cycles of trauma do not defeat them, my husband and I both grew up in unstable homes full of abuse of all kinds and we at the appropriate age explained these things to our kids.
Wow. I hope you do not profile me. ^^ Since you probably have guessed I have also struggled with certain issues. External stimuli as well as my personal constitution made it difficult to handle many traumas. Common things such as thinking too much, too sensitive, over-achieving, complexes etc. are some of the driving forces that make life difficult. I truly hope Suga has overcome his trauma and depression. And yes, I personally think that facing your fears and realities of the world and life is a true way of protecting your kids and getting them ready for life. It is not easy to deal with so many internal and external toxic influences that seem to be growing these days. Everybody is putting names on their agenda or ideals and forcing it down others' throats. Life is hard as it is. I try to focus on the positives and face reality as much as I can. It sure is getting more difficult though. Thank you very much for your encouraging comment. See you soon.
😢😢😢😢😢😢 Rawest video I have ever seen!! Real tears were shed today for him… I know the Lotus means he survived…but with what happened to the other Idol recently makes this MV even more devastating..💔❤️🩹
We never know what challenges people have faced and are facing. Songs like this make it plain for one person and make it easier to imagine what someone else might be carrying. It's so important. He has the line in Haegeum about your freedom taking someone's life, and it's in Ugh too. I don't think he ever stops worrying that other people will step over the edge because he knows what it's like. And yes, the timing... It would always hit hard but right now it's especially hard. I hope everyone can see this as a plea to understand and help people who are struggling.
I also thought about Moonbin. I truly think if creative freedom was allowed for all of these artists we wouldn't see as many lost. Not being heard contributes to those feelings of worthlessness. This industry is so cutthroat and there's no room for empathy or second chances hence Yoongi bottling up all this trauma in fear that he would be let go. I'm so proud of him for getting to the point where he can freely share this with us💜
@@jerseygirl6221 I agree. To be fair, it's not unique to k-pop - I'm in the US and our entertainment industry has a lot to answer for too. But I definitely think a piece of this puzzle (in both cases) is respect for the artist.
The reason we love them? They are talented,relatable and sincere. The fact that they are not afraid to show their "human" parts to the world through their art is the reason. Themselves put themselves down from the "celebrity podium" declaring that they are like us ,emotional and life like us or not different from us. With true struggles and fears but they also share with the world their ways to cope with all. Its brilliant and what the world(especially struggling people) really needs as you said to see and hear!
This endeth the trilogy. His former self killed his former self killed his former self. His current self has no scar but remember the scar. The scar on the face is figurative. His scars are real. Just can’t be seen. The accident in the scene that actually happened when he was a delivery boy to earn a living while making music or while being a trainee (?), I think that’s just ONE thing that went wrong. He never treated that shoulder until 2020. It create restrictions on his shoulder movements as it healed improperly but he didn’t want to lose his spot as a trainee. Can you imagine dancing BTS dances with a stuffed shoulder? In many ways that paralleled the unattended emotional wounds as well. At least until now. Making his own music seems to be very cathartic for him. Thank god for Bang and Big Hit for allowing these guys to express themselves OUTSIDE OF BTS. Imagine not having any outlet to deal with all the storm raging inside… Some had to and they did not survive it 💔 He survived. He survived. Thank you for a very thoughtful commentary and reaction ❤
Age restriction on this video was surely appropriate. I can vouch for that personally cuz I've been in an accident and saw my life almost end bf my eyes, for a long time your brain plays that moment again n again bf your eyes. It's crazy. The moment I played the video it brought back all those trauma, along with that, thinking abt poor yoongis trauma n sufferings, made my mind freeze for the whole night, and I'm 28, still it took a day for me to get in terms with the mv.
my face dropped immediately the moment i saw the pills in his hands especially with what he talked about in his first mixtape. i'm happy yoongi continues to heal through living through everyday and through his music
He’s showing Agust D’s origin story. That persona who has tried to protect him and also hurt himself. Scars can be inside or outside. Besides all of these personal issues, he and BTS were targets of endless nonsensical hate from everyone. An army side, this is why we are so angry with SK right now- government and media and other companies have all used BTS for their own gain and never once gave back to BTS. Meanwhile, rich kids can get a job for a company that qualifies them for exemption while their job isn’t even worthy of it (chip companies, etc). Not one person in public has batted an eye or stood up to say if anyone is bringing pride to SK it should be BTS that should be honored. The mediaplay fawns over groups like blackpink because “Teddy oppa” writes such meaningful songs🙄 it’s embarrassing
I know the subject too well. I was contemplating doing a piece on it but decided not to do it. It is a sensitive subject for many and has a ridiculous background to it. I did not want to start my channel with too much negativity. However, I will get to it someday. I will be ranting like a mad man. Lol Also, there are different approaches to music. Some are food for souls and others, a snack, or a stiff drink. All has its purpose and can enrich our lives as a whole. 😁 Hope I wasn't preachy. See you next time.
@pennybleta2300 It is cultural. For the longest time, entertainers were called clowns. Kinda like Court jesters. Their social ranking was equal to the lowest of the low. Like executioners and butchers. There is still remnants of that in older generation. Second, Kpop started catering to middle school and high-school girls. And they were very immature due to tiger moms of SK. That stigma is still present. Third, not all people want depth in music. Look at world music. Most of it is garbage. Sex drugs, killing, and thuggery are the mainstay of the industry. It is market driven. That is the level of consumers and that makes money. Just reality. That is why group like BTS is so precious. It has garnere a fandomm of all ages from all around the world. Because there are still people who do not judge a book by its cover and what color or language they speak. So don't get mad, appreciate this moment in time and others who share your love. Don't worry about others. Concentrate on positive. Here is a 55 year old man publically endorcing KPOP in a country you described as somewhat vain and hateful.
Thank you for replying, and I read the other replies about being positive and you are correct… I just get so frustrated that if BTS isn’t being ignored, they are lumped in with groups that don’t even care about artistry. Even though my heart hurts, most of the time, I’m able to comment positively but once in a while I get frustrated
@@r.gorman4040 I have one thing more to say to you. All those haters and people who dissed and ignored BTS. Where are they? BTS is bigger than anyone and music history will forever remember them. Just for what they have achieved so far. That ..... is the ULTIMATE REVENGE. ^^
AMYGDALA. This song. This video.. This just cracked wide open My darkest thoughts ive been suppressing cuz i needed to be fine..i had to.. I needed to move forward.. But lingering thoughts creeps and leaks in every now and then.. feeling of regrets and feeling of despair and guilt still lies deep in my mind and this song summarizes that very complex feeling…My heart feels heavy. I still remember vivdly those sleepless nights at the hospital w my grandma to one day waking up losing her to cancer .. Catching a full grown man my granddad having a major stroke Taking the Difficult decision to work abroad leaving my sick granddad and family. And having to come home to Resuscitate him and ultimately decide to stop and to let him go… Trauma.. painful memories.. . We will never know fully what anyone went thru personally but for yoongi to share these deepest thoughts thru this masterpiece. Hope he knows how this will comfort others who are suffering too. I Thank him for holding on.. for showing us how this part of our brain just tries to keep us safe by storing such painful memories and reminds us that such painful past makes us who we are now.
I'm glad they put the censor on this mv, I haven't watched since it came out because it's just so raw and it so painful to me and I saw ARMYs on twitter saying that they have a fragile mental health and maybe shouldn't even have watched it the first time and to understand when some can't stream the song because it is a lot to handle and you need to look out for your mental health first so based on my own feelings and the feelings of other ARMYs this is good.
"The first and second was so fictional but this is so personal." In some ways, it makes a lot of sense and even aligns with Yoongi's past way of storytelling. What I mean by this is, if you look at his first solo album, the songs begin bombastic, loud, rebellious, full of bravado. Gradually they get more and more raw and real until eventually you reach The Last and So Far Away. Likewise, Yoongi begins this trilogy by regaling us with grand tales of corrupt kings and rebel coups, with drug lords and veteran detectives. Each one prompts us to come up with this grand backstory, especially for how they each got their scar. It almost has us forgetting a crucial part in the two other stories - no matter what sides the parts of Yoongi ally on, the videos end with one of them killing the other. He's always at literal war with himself and trying to kill the other version of himself, but ultimately they're all Yoongi. Do you see where I'm going with this? In this video, Yoongi decides to be raw and honest - no more grand stories of heroes and villains, no struggle between 'good and evil'. This is simply /Yoongi's/ story, and now he's going to tell it. He reveals that it was just he himself who gave himself the scar and goes through all of the real struggles and traumas that he's been through and has dealt with behind the scenes all along. And, for the first time, one version of Yoongi tries to /save/ the other instead of killing them. I think this symbolizes that, if Yoongi had known that he was going to get into an accident and go through all that hardship because of it, he never would have put himself through it. So his past self tries to save his current self. But what's done is done. There is only one Yoongi, really, and it's the one who exists now. Only he can get himself out of the room. He hasn't yet, and it's a continuous uphill battle, but he still can. What's important here is that we see that Yoongi feels comfortable enough now to be honest and open about something so personal - he's come that far. And finally, he shows empathy and compassion for himself.
He never had a scar, I believe it's his emotional scars. Reference to drugs, self-harm. That would be why, but I don't agree. If you even mention suicide, or anything like that, they will censor it. It's a beautiful song. I cried, it touched me. 💜
Just thought I'd mention, when the music video first came out, there was no censor on the music video. I can't help thinking that someone may have reported it and that's why it's now like this? I do believe it's because you see his shadow of how he got the scar. And yes, far more worse things out there on video so easily accessible by everyone.
He couldn't tell anyone about the accident and the pain afterwards because he was afraid to not be able to debut. And that wouid have been devastating since his parents were not supporting his dreams at the time, which is why he worked as a delivery boy at the same time as he was a full time trainee and also learned about music production. He barely slept. He often went without food and used the money he earned on bus tickets to BigHit. And now it makes sense that he hurt himself and tried to kill himself with pills. He has finally opened up and this is a sincere gift we can relate to. We all have different scars. I love the video. And the song.
I think you are mixing some stuff up. His parents were not happy with his choice because of what is happening in SK at the "moment". Look up "n-po generation" to understand what I mean. He worked as a delivery boy as the company had no money and he wanted to go to university - which eventually the label paid for. Yoongi began learning about music production far earlier than meeting BH. He worked - was that a radio station? a small label? a little studio? I don't quiet remember - before with little pay but also learning the basics in music production. So he actually produced songs before. There is one he made for the Gwangju uprising but it wasn't taken at that time. There is a timeframe - still before BH - where he tried to get his music out and people stole his work, but also 2 dollar meal or a ticket is from that time. And where did you hear that he tried to overdose? because that is new to me. He did take pain medicine for his injury from the car accident. He suffered from at least low-level pain constantly till his OP in 2020. There is "The Last"... it could mean he was asked about self-harm but the likely interpretation was always if he thought about s*. We are talking about the same "legend" that was always at the bottom of the trainee evaluation and still debuted. (Suchwita with TXT) Yes, he was afraid to be cut from the label and tried to keep silent. But his injury was noted fast because he couldn't dance with it - the ripped fiber (?) - and he felt guilty for deceiving them and tried to offer his resignation but they didn't let him, brought him to hospital and told him they would wait for him to heal. Here he makes his scar "visible" by cutting himself as we see in the shadow. This cut took a long time to heal. But it eventually did in Haegeum. I think having the members being there for him is part of that, too (always 6 members in his gang in both Daechwita and Haegeum). Borahae!
In the US we don't have to verify our age. Instead there's a warning that the content may contain suicide or self-harm topics, and we have to click on a button acknowledging that we understand and wish to proceed. I suppose YT handles it differently in different countries.
First of all, let me say, I really enjoyed your reaction! For me at least, the MV warning specifies that it includes suicide and/or self-harm topics, which I understand. I'm in a much better place right now than I was years ago and I still recoiled when I saw the box cutter in his hand. Yes, it is real life and it should be talked about, but I don't think anyone would be happy if someone who is currently struggling with self-harm went to watch this video, not knowing what was in it. That is what trigger warnings are for, for someone who might be adversely affected by imagery like this to decide if they are in the right headspace to see something like that. I think people these days use the word "trigger" in a way that has diminished its meaning, but for people who suffer from psychological trauma that can be *triggered* by imagery like in the MV, things like the content warning can make the difference between momentary discomfort when they go in knowing what they might see vs. a spiral of self-harm/suicidal thoughts they can't get out of. It is really unfortunate that on UA-cam that means that you also have to verify that you're 18+ old because this MV could be and probably is (at least to me) helpful and healing in a way.
@@komerican-og It's understandable tbh! And it really does suck that you have to verify your age as well because like I said, this MV has the potential to healing as well to people who have suffered like Suga has, and not all of them necessarily are over the required 18 years old or even if they are, have the means to verify their age on UA-cam.
Um i watched this and I didn’t have any type of trigger warning nor ager verification; and in the back of my mind i knew that yoongi always gets me triggered with some things since he’s been so vocal about such issues (which i always love and appreciate), however I went in thinking that it’ll be okay and didn’t know that there’s such imagery placed in there which made get into a dark spiral and sob since I’m still somewhat struggling. This gets me to the point that I agree that such explicit trigger warning need to be there because I would’ve been more mentally prepared if I knew.
Suga: Esta es mi historia hasta los 20. Lo que realmente quiero mostrarte aquí es "Por qué tienes la cicatriz en el ojo?"Porque todas las cicatrices y heridas las hago yo mismo.Un viaje con recuerdos, cosas que quiero borrar.... AMYGDALA" nos cuenta la vida de Min Yoongi, quien le hizo frente a momentos muy difíciles en su vida. Desde su accidente, hasta hablarnos de sus padres y tocar el tema de su depresión. El video dura 4:21 minutos pero duele toda la vida.
The verification is from him shoving a handful of pills in his mouth and being found on the kitchen floor by (I'm guessing) his dad, and carving a scar on his face. It's not necessarily a concern about age but more for those who might have gone through those struggles of suicide and self-harm. It's a beautiful and raw video, but for some people it could bring up a lot of past or present traumas. I've already age verified so the pop-up I get is just warning about themes of suicide and self-harm.
Content is one thing but musically it is haunting and meticulous. I love it so much. That is perhaps why I overreacted. Something like this does not happen often. All should enjoy it.
I love this song and the MV, it's one of the best. I have been wondering why this is the third part of the trilogy, what the connection between Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala could be. To me Min Yoongi/Agust D is an immensely political person (see his lyrics). I might be wrong ofc, but If you look at Daechwita there is hope you can do away with tyranny and have sth like "democracy" (the "people" help the protagonist). Haegeum is much less optimistic, one ("bad") power is only replaced by another (a sad reality). What about Amygdala? Only by confronting yourself with the pains and hurts of the past, "unpacking them", you can go forward. But the next necessary step is "putting them back to where they belong" they are your memories, not your present, while keeping the knowledge of what you have learned about yourself/society through the "unpacking". It is an extremely painful and ongoing process but only by acknowledging the "traumata" and sufferings of the past (and they always stay with you) you have the chance to move forward, do sth new and different (D day). The Yoongi of Daechwita was angry, rebellious but also naive, while in Haegeum you could say he is desperate (nothing really changes however much you fight), only by accepting the situation as it is he/society can change (Amygdala).
It's very touching that the MV is made up of Yoongi's traumas, I watched the MV with tears in my eyes. And I'm proud of Yoongi for being able to tell us about his traumas. There were actually three Yoongi in the Amygdala MV. One was experiencing real-life events. The other wanted to save him from his pain. And the other was just watching and eating almonds. In the book of Amond, MC's mother had him eat almonds because she believed it would help him. It starts to rain towards the end of the video. Rain is a symbol of unhappiness BUT it is also a pause for introspection. That's why her self-analysis was the reason she couldn't escape her memories and kept spinning around.
thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best 🥹🥹🥹 #agustd #dday #amygdala, to me, the last scene looked like a grave .... It's like he is burying AGUST D 😭😭😭😭
I don't know how rating systems for media works in Korea so I can only guess about the reason for the age limit. I wonder if they see him cutting his face open with the knife as self-harm and him taking all of the pills as drug abuse. I think the knife scene was more implied since they didn't show it directly and the pills was just to show the passage of time where he had to take medication for his pain after the accident (perhaps also mental health things since he has mentioned dealing with anxiety, depression, ocd and adhd before). I suppose they're not looking at the intent of the scenes so much as they're focusing on how young people might see it. Personally I think young people are aware enough of the world and go through similar struggles too so they would understand it for what it is.
Taking meds for depression or the pain is a natural thing. It should not have been an issue. It was not like he was taking drugs. Hew...Come down John...
BTS’ Suga goes on a journey through his past painful memories in the new video for “Amygdala,” taken from his new album under the Agust D moniker, D-DAY. The track, which is laced with rock riffs and hip-hop beats, finds the rapper recounting trauma he has experienced throughout his life, from a motorcycle accident he was in during his time as a trainee to his mother’s heart surgery. The visuals, which were directed by Lumpens, bring some of those events to searing life, with the video cutting between those recollections and a more recent version of Suga struggling to process them. The video opens with a content warning for content relating to suicide and self-harm.
I just went and watched it myself so I could watch your reaction and I'm... Shook. I need to sit with this one. I'm not going to watch a lot of reactions to it. It's fucking brilliant and beautiful and it hurts. I need to trust people to treat this work with respect, you know? I trust you.
I had the warning on my screen but not the age verification. It asked me twice before moving to the MV. I agree that there are far worst video out there that should get the age verification but this was not one of it. Great reaction 💜
Лучшая реакция. Вы очень точно выразили свои мысли об увиденном и услышанном. Они в точности совпали и с моими размышлениями. Юнги очень талантлив как исполнитель, как продюсер. А также неимоверно смел, чтобы обнажать душу перед миллионами слушателей. Очень целостный человек. Сейчас это редкость.
The sad part of this song both the old and new Suga trying to open the door but coundnt. Still he is trap inside and still struggling but atleast he is aware of all the source of his pain and trying to get out or looking for help. People who struggling with mental health can relate to it. That's why BTS is the best group or even individually above from the rest of singers around the world. They discuss reality and we learn from it.
Yes it was on a motorbike while doing a delivery part time job and he was hit by a car. I also believe it was raining at the time. Every time I hear this track it's managed to bring a tear to my eye. As I've read the translation a few time's over.
🇰🇷Suicide & depression stats are the highest globally. Mental Health is still a very unfortunate taboo subject, that it shouldn’t. This MV raises awareness. My opinion as a psychology professor in UK, this shouldn’t have a trigger alert warning.
I think it is about the self harm with the razor to cut himself. He is a great producer. He is in a better place now and is much happier and hopefully has let go of his past and can grow even more and have true happiness. He is such an impressive person.
HYBE is deleting comments from Psychology Professors. I commented to state this MV raises awareness & no one should suffer in silence. ARMY I need your help, PLEASE make noise to help make change in🇰🇷I wish I could offer my services in Korea, the way I’am able in 🇬🇧
I like how he states that the MV is real life,, and its a life lesson for all generation so why control it by media,, We learn our life lessons by going through both the good side and bad sides of life.
AMYGDALA" nos cuenta la vida de Min Yoongi, quien le hizo frente a momentos muy difíciles en su vida. Desde su accidente, hasta hablarnos de sus padres y tocar el tema de su depresión. El video dura 4:21 minutos pero duele toda la vida.
Thank you for your reaction. It was the best explanation of all that Yoongi has gone through. I think he was fighting with himself and trying to get rid of all the bad things that happened in his life. You are so on point! Thank you again.
strong words there. i don't think the censorship was stupid. there are several things in this video that can be triggering to people. i have struggled with some things that are depicted in the video from a very young age. i watched this video when the warning wasn't there yet and it messed me up. it would have helped me greatly if i had seen that warning and i'm glad it's there now. also, i definitely wouldn't want my childhood self to watch this. let's not forget that there are kids who've already been through traumatic experiences. it affected me horribly at 25 and it would've affected me much worse as a child.
Perhaps it was my knee-jerk reaction to so much ridiculous censorship in Korea that I had to witness. However, in this world of gore, sex, drugs and violence in all form of media, a real story of a man overcoming trauma and depression really that terrible? And also please note that I was not responding to a warning. Actually, a warning would have been just fine. I totally agree that children should be protected and be warned. I was reacting to a total block. Anyone and everyone had to do a phone age verification. It blocks all casual adult viewers who do not want to go to the trouble, would not watch the mv. I thought that was excessive. Please understand that at the time I did not know this differed from country to country.
@@komerican-og fair. i do think having to verify your age from your phone is a bit excessive. where i'm from, we just have to click twice, once to confirm that we've seen the warnings and would like to proceed regardless and once to confirm that we understand that it is not suitable for certain viewers. and no, yoongi's story is not terrible. it's just that it could be disturbing to a sensitive mind but also, very motivational. i think everyone should have the choice to learn about it.
@june3894 Thank you for your concern. It was fully warranted. Being a foreigner in Korea, it is a bit difficult to authenticate. Also, I thought the work was so beautiful and significant that I overreacted. Thanks again.
Perhaps the knife and scar represent SUGA’s attempts to permanently cut out the reoccurring vision of the bad memories that make him feel out of control
In the video, Yoongi showed a scene where he self harmed. There are those who went through trauma. Maybe they used to self harm themselves or maybe watched someone self harm and try to take their own lives or just been abused in general. There was enough to the video for them to put in a viewer discretion because it could be a trigger for some people.
I mean it's easy to be critical of the YT msg when you arent the one struggling with your mental health, no I haven't watched reaction yet and I saw what you said about how you are upset with censorship but still think about what other people have gone through
About the content warning - it was different in the US, just a warning. But I get where it comes from. There's a lot of fear when depicting suicide because it can genuinely lead to more people dying of suicide. I don't think it means we shouldn't show it, especially this honestly. And he survived, and while the song sits in his pain, it's from the perspective of a survivor. I don't think it will cause harm. I wish they didn't think age was the important thing that would protect people. Plenty of people over 18 wouldn't be in a good place to see this, and plenty of people under 18 should. Here it was a "mature content" warning and then a "depictions of suicide" warning, both of which I just had to tap on, and I thought that was fine. It wasn't a significant barrier, though.
Yeah i can't watch it anymore because of the age thing. i'm older than 18 but UA-cam wants my ID informations or credid card informations and i'm not giving that to them. Luckely i was able watch it and this is without a doupt one of my favorite mvs and songs out there
It's because the mv includes sensitive content (self-harm). That's why you need to confirm the viewer's age. This mv is very personal and might trigger someone.
@@sevenwithyou_ yes i inow and i completly understand that they have to check but they don't need my id or credid card informations for that but thank you for your answer:)
I have the same problem and I'm happy I can see it through this video. I did some research and Google says that you can cover parts of your ID that are not necessary. I think about doing that, but my parents are really skeptical about both ways. It really sucks. Even more because they already have the birth date☹️
amygdala, region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes. The name amygdala is derived from the Greek word amygdale, meaning “almond,” owing to the structure’s almondlike shape. The amygdala is located in the medial temporal lobe, just anterior to (in front of) the hippocampus. Similar to the hippocampus, the amygdala is a paired structure, with one located in each hemisphere of the brain. The amygdala is part of the limbic system, a neural network that mediates many aspects of emotion and memory. Although historically the amygdala was considered to be involved primarily in fear and other emotions related to aversive (unpleasant) stimuli, it is now known to be involved in positive emotions elicited by appetitive (rewarding) stimuli.
mi pensar de la cicatriz es para olvidar el dolor interno y solo enfocarte en el físico, además que representa la rebeldía que sale de no poder tener el control en esas situaciones.
I think it the fact that we all have scars in our lives and they are just things we have to get through and we will never know if we ever made the right kind of choices in our lives and if we don't have the experiences we wont know what we are made of and what we can amd cannot handle
Hi John, could I don't know your name be in reference to the the hit and run driver from the accident? There has to be pain on the other side of that incident too, a person who knows the details but didn't do the right thing who at this point must have put all the facts together and still doesn't speak, can't speak. We can be prisoners of our choices, our memories, the amygdala holds onto past trauma and shapes our responses. Fight or flight, the most basic or responses; we flee in so many ways. Unfortunately the flight creates more problems than it solves.
Oh I just realised you were asked to verify your age. I got that about 2 and half years ago when I went to watch a the Thai BL 'Manner of Death' as it was classified as over 18years old due to the subject matter.
I live in America. The stuff that goes on here....on almost a daily basis... and the content of American TV programs, whether it's copious amounts of violence or sex...its all been normalized in my country. We even have entire TV channels dedicated to REAL murder mysteries... actual crimes that people follow and find highly entertaining. I don't know where I'm going with this only that I needed to get it out and I'll stop here before my cognitive dissonance really kicks in. Suffice to say I agree with you on the censorship thing and anyone reading this don't come at me, every human being on the face of this planet has dealt with trauma in one form or another whether they realize it or not, but learning to cope with it rather than avoiding it entirely could, potentially, be more helpful than harmful. 💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐋
Thank you for your thoughts. So many things worries me about the US media. Polarization, glorification of vanity, so much hate and divisiveness among everyone. Death of intellectualism and normalization of idiocy. Real thoughts and struggles of life should be the last thing we should be worried about.
궁금해하시는걸 아는선에서 조금 얘기해 드리려고 했는데... 어제슈취타를 보셨으니.. 앨범스토리 궁금증이 많이 해소 되셨을꺼라 생각이 듭니다.^^ 너무 어린나이에 상처도 많이 받고 고생도 많이한 캐릭터들이라 남준이나 슈가의 생각의 깊이가 남다릅니다. 한국인 리액션이 많이 없어 아쉬웠는데... 영상 감사합니다.
This is my comment three days later- just watched a fancam for Suga’s performance of Amygdala at his concert in NY yesterday. This was one of the better quality videos. I loved his performance, so moving! (Less sad than the MV). It’s not a spoiler for me cuz I want to take it all in now (even though I will be going to his concert in less than 3 weeks from now). Do not watch if this will be a spoiler for those of you who want to wait for the real thing. ua-cam.com/video/3Mz8rAvZOU0/v-deo.html
Well.. kids shouldnt create scars on themselves 😢... hence the adult sign... but thanks fir telling us that there is sth like that on the video, i didnt know
가사의 "I don't know your name"에서 "your"는 청중들을 의미한다고 생각합니다. 그는 숨기고 싶고 기억하기 싫은 기억들을 MV로 재현해냈습니다 상상해 보세요 자신의 트라우마를 모든사람들이 볼수있도록 스스로 연기한다는것을... 이것이 의미하는건 그가 지금은 트라우마를 극복해냈다는 것이지요 따라서 자신이 해냈으니 여러분(청중)도 할수 있다고 말하는것 같습니다.
The members may hug him. But you have to be in his inner circle to do that. Or do you like strangers going up to you and hug you? But I share your wish to give comfort. I don't think we can beside staying and defending him and the others from antis/cancel culture etc. Borahae!
The content warning was 100% for the fact he cuts himself in the video and likely because he takes an awful lot of pills in which the imagery leads to believe ended him up in the hospital. So those parts of "real life" are hard to see for some people
The cutting was symbolic and pills were for his depression and pain. I could see now how it could be viewed in certain way. But there have been so many stupid censors in the past. I am sure his song will do fine. It is just too good.
Misogenic and highly sexual lyrics and images in current music where the female subject is used and if artistic, lyrical, realistic and inspirational content is censored are not restricted. I think the difference is who earns $$$ with that content being accessible.
exactly ... the censor is so stupid. yes there is self harm.. but i despise how youtube controls content of the wrong things.. this song should not censored :(
There are people shooting each other In movies and slicing people up in video games. This had real content and message of overcoming these fears and trauma. This was ridiculous to me.
Age limit? Sorry, American hypocrisy. What about weapon laws? No problem in my country in Europe, just a general warning for ppl who might be sensitive to the subject.
Suga had a real car accident before predebut at his part time job being the delivery boy riding motorcycle he was also newspaper boy delivery newspaper and he worked a graveyard shift back in high school because he couldn't afford his family couldn't afford school he had to skip bus to have a 2 dollar meal or he would skip meal to get on the bus ... and also this song is about him in the past trying to......he was suicidal but he is no longer he will no longer do it. He is reborn the lotus symbol is being reborn he is stronger now. If you want to know his past....you should see the lyrics video for suga/agust d "the last" it is heavy....
oh. oh i get it. the ‘mad king’ with scars is the persona who’s still trapped in that dark room. no wonder yoongi keeps killing him in his MVs. it’s not just a political symbolism-it also signifies his endless pursuit of moving forward. of erasing his old scarred self to carry on
Good Point. So much self reflection in his music and contents.
This is also reflected on Haegum. The gangsta yoongi/suga/agust D didnt have scar anymore like his two self on Daechwita (the mad king is his first scar get created that turn him to be mad and full of pain and anger (yoongi life events in the past). Then the "bottomclass" Yoongi who from the future (2020) killed his crazy past self (the mad king). But the scar is not heal yet, that why the bottomclass yoongi even he is from the future n killed the king(his mad past self), but he still have that scar. He might be not that mad and angry like before anymore, but the scar n pain it still there (he still cant set free from that pain) and it still controlling him. In Haegum, that bottomclass Yoongi become a head police, he may be success to kill the king but he still control yoongi. Yoongi cant be free from him (his pain/scar). Then,, as Yoongi said, he is not angry anymore n can forgive to all people who hurting him n made peace with himself, hence he will more focus to his present rather being hurt with his past or afraid in the future. He break his limit that is controlling him. That why the gangster Yoongi didnt have a scar like the mad king also the bottomclass suga (or now he is the head police). It's a symbolic that that scar is already heal now. And he ready to let go his past completely with killing the bottomclass suga/head police, as hisnlast string for his past scar that still lingering.
He is the new haegum who finally free from his past self that full of scar.
This
Hi literally scarred himself. That's a thing.
I love the storytelling and lyricism and how all three music videos are connected. Amygdala is definitely Yoongi at his most vulnerable and I still get teary at all the pain he’s endured throughout his life.
Yoongi’s explanation to staff during that Amygdala MV meeting:
“This is the story of my life, you know.
Before I reached the age of 20, I'd already had a lot of things going on in my life. I really want to talk about how I got the scar over my eye in this song. n a way, we're responsible for all our own wounds and scars. No one can dodge the first arrow of trouble, of course, but when that second arrow flies at you, you've chosen to just stand there and get hit, rather than learn from the first time.”
This is the story of his life. And he has enough courage to show us what he went through and how he overcame it all. The accident that cost him years of pain, the illness of his mother, his father... All the doubts he had growing up made him what he is today - an exceptional artist!
He has gotten through it and made a better man out of him. Thank God.
Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 3:42. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychologic condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.
Thank you! I caught that too.
"I recommend that you watch all the music videos for Daechwita, Haegeum, and AMYGDALA in one sitting" -YOONGI
As much as I love the man I'm uncertain about my ability to get through that intact
And listen The Last
Think they put that adult content warning because of the self harm plus prolly the medication he was taking “probably” for depression. But I’m with you, this is real life. Everyone should be exposed to this. The symbol of that scar was a revelation to me. I’ve always thought it was born of anger especially since we first saw it in Daechwita but it was more self inflected. Because of all the pain he had inside he inflected that scar on himself. 😭 I cried watching this. But even before I knew what he was saying I already cried…even without knowing the language u could feel the pain and sadness in the music. All the pain and suffering he must have gone through while training and being a BTS member. Sigh. It hurts my heart. I’m so thankful that he shares his personal feelings with us. I’m going to be a mess during the concert 😭 thank u for another great reaction vid 💜
Children shouldn't be exposed to that - makes for better grounded adults. Teens? Some can and some can't deal. It is a very indivudal question.
But yes: the warning was for the self-harm.
I'm happy that Min Yoongi is in a far more stable place now. He healed and forgave himself!
💜
Exposed to it? To some extent yes! But to those of us who have experienced thorns situations and emotions and not yet recovered it's very difficult to watch without triggering those feelings again.
@@ruthfischer7615 Well the fact is you simply cannot control what a child may or may not be exposed to. I'd much rather have them learn about it through a very controlled environment like a music video, where an adult can explain the situation in an understandable way for their age. Rather than the reality that tons of kids have to be exposed to these kinds of things through real life events that they're forced to cope with and endure. It's good for kids to know about these kinds of struggles in life so the stigma around struggling in general never has the chance to develop, which is ultimately what keeps many people from getting help when they do actually come to need it. You just have to know what level of exposure to give to a kid based on their age, whether they can handle things being more harsh or not.
@@AliceBunny05 If you sit next to the child and can explain? Perhaps
I wasn't allowed to watch the "Action" TV shows of the 80s because I tended to get nightmares. Or at least at one time I had one.
An elementary teacher brought more nightmares by telling us about people deing at a fire in public transport/train station.
Like I said: some people/children can cope and some can't.
Self harm is tricky. Some use it to give face to their inner pain: cutting. It can become addicting for those who do it and very tricky to get away from.
The warning exists for a reason.
And it can trigger people. I like those warnings because you can made an informed decision: can you or can't you cope.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
💜
Exactly, I really like the way you put it. I saw another reactor get annoyed at the warning and no offense but I find that stupid or at the very least insensitive 😕. Because it’s completely reasonable for them to take into account the fact that younger people or people who have experienced something similar could be negatively affected by some scenes. And whether it’s “completely reasonable” or not it’s very easy to understand why they would do that
Not only the trauma. He portrays the fact that he will have sudden nightmares that bring it all back, and he wants to tuck it away. Most likely he will live with those nightmares most of his life when the memories creep out again.
He said in his documentary that working on Amygdala caused a lot of mood swings. So brave. This is a masterpiece.
Agreed! So brave
Yes 😭💜
Yes i kinda agree that younger people should see the real stuffs but it's a trigger warning which isn't unnecessary or smthing it's for everyone not only for kids it's just a warning that it can trigger ur own struggles which people don't wanna relive it has that disclaimer cause of traumatic experience and self harm which i m so glad they put it on cause for this mv it's freaking needed specially if u also have been thru that trauma in ur life or going thru it's very essential...
This mv hits so hard firstly for those who knows yoongi all deep and everything bout him and for those (including me)who have thru the same experience or worse which is potrayed here bout self harm and depression i like cried and felt so uneasy at the first watch of this mv cause it was reviving my those memories too which i too don't wanna face again& again no.womder they had to put that disclaimer..it's like heartaching but also healing in kinda a way this man really has my whole heart 🥺💜💜
Courageously Min Yoongi has written "Amygdala" as Lady Gaga wrote "Til It Happens To You" both songs about the Pain OF Trauma and its lingering PTSD and despair.
But I do not think Western music critics and listeners will appreciate his song as much. Few have any knowledge of Korean, indeed Asian music. Personally I love both and applaud both artists and both songs.
The adult content label probably is because of his metaphoric scarring with an X-Acto knife. I guess in US at least one out of every four early teens have cut themselves. I know I have eight grandkids and 2 have been so depressed they cut themselves. Also his consumption of pain meds and maybe anti-depressants would have triggered the warning. Ruthless honesty is not done in the US. (Note how Lady Gaga says "it" happens, but does not say rape. )
If parents or older siblings watch this with their preteens or young teens it could be a moment to talk about Life 's unexpected catastrophes and how to deal with physical and emotional pain, with undeserved tragedy, and with Depression which can be situational. Viewing together and talking about these events in Yoongi''s early life could deepen a connection between young person and caring adult. Yoongi wants us to connect and to communicate. Thank Heavens for brave Yoongi.
All the sad contents aside, I love how he is keeping his artistry and had the will to do it his way. He must have known it will run into certain censorship. It is the next step as an artist to not compromise your art and show what you truly want and feel. All in all, he is going in a great direction. I am proud of him.
I’m a Psychology Professor in UK. It’s understandable if your heart feels heavy but, shows he’s finally at peace & able to share it, as it was. I’am proud as a Psych. I hope all we talk to not matter how long it may take, they come out the other end & don’t give up. Anyone struggling use this to help heal, he’s not just done this for himself, to let Army in but, to also send the message don’t suffer in silence. I cried when I watched this & Im so proud of then gent. Stay blessed all🙏💜🧿
In another of his songs Snoooze there's a line where he says 'Don't sufferer like I did'
Suga had a real car accident before predebut at his part time job being the delivery boy riding motorcycle he was also newspaper boy delivery newspaper and he worked a graveyard shift back in high school because he couldn't afford his family couldn't afford school he had to skip bus to have a 2 dollar meal or he would skip meal to get on the bus ... and also this song is about him in the past trying to......he was suicidal but he is no longer he will no longer do it. He is reborn the lotus symbol is being reborn he is stronger now. If you want to know his past....you should see the lyrics video for suga/agust d "the last" it is heavy....
The fact that Yoongi allows himself to be this candid, raw, and vulnerable in his artistic expression is a huge part of why he's so beloved. In fact, the same goes for BTS as a whole. This is what sets them singularly apart from everyone else.
I think it’s the suggestion of self-harm. It’s a beautifully, vulnerable work of art. Hopefully, the warning is more about the gritty realism in the video. This song/video will stick with me for a long time (as it should). Really appreciate your thoughtful and insightful reactions
I appreciate how respectful you were to this song, it’s artist and it’s content.
Respect is earned, and he really deserved it this time. It's just wonderful.
I am a double Dr, one being a medical one, a forensic and criminal Dr of psychiatry and a dr of forensic sciences specializes in behavioural, mapping and micro expression analysis and a profile, classified as an expert in both fields.
You explained it well it’s a constant battle mental illness of any kind with yourself, he showed it exceptionally and you sir got a new subscriber.
It was a very well done, his video and your take on it and I agree. Protecting your kids from certain dangers but protecting them from the real struggles they of life result in kids who lack life skills unfortunately because over parenting is damaging and personally my husband and I coming from an indigenous plains Cree treaty six background. And residential schools we told our children because they learn what they live, protecting them from life? Is harmful and as a parent who buried her youngest it is very hard but it’s important to be transparent and open so generational cycles of trauma do not defeat them, my husband and I both grew up in unstable homes full of abuse of all kinds and we at the appropriate age explained these things to our kids.
He is trying to kill the parts of himself that haunt and scar him. We all as humans have internal struggles but not all is the same.
Wow. I hope you do not profile me. ^^ Since you probably have guessed I have also struggled with certain issues. External stimuli as well as my personal constitution made it difficult to handle many traumas. Common things such as thinking too much, too sensitive, over-achieving, complexes etc. are some of the driving forces that make life difficult. I truly hope Suga has overcome his trauma and depression. And yes, I personally think that facing your fears and realities of the world and life is a true way of protecting your kids and getting them ready for life. It is not easy to deal with so many internal and external toxic influences that seem to be growing these days. Everybody is putting names on their agenda or ideals and forcing it down others' throats. Life is hard as it is. I try to focus on the positives and face reality as much as I can. It sure is getting more difficult though. Thank you very much for your encouraging comment. See you soon.
We get a 'suicide' warming and asked do we wish to proceed. Well I do viewing it from the UK.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Rawest video I have ever seen!!
Real tears were shed today for him… I know the Lotus means he survived…but with what happened to the other Idol recently makes this MV even more devastating..💔❤️🩹
We never know what challenges people have faced and are facing. Songs like this make it plain for one person and make it easier to imagine what someone else might be carrying. It's so important.
He has the line in Haegeum about your freedom taking someone's life, and it's in Ugh too. I don't think he ever stops worrying that other people will step over the edge because he knows what it's like.
And yes, the timing... It would always hit hard but right now it's especially hard. I hope everyone can see this as a plea to understand and help people who are struggling.
I also thought about Moonbin. I truly think if creative freedom was allowed for all of these artists we wouldn't see as many lost. Not being heard contributes to those feelings of worthlessness. This industry is so cutthroat and there's no room for empathy or second chances hence Yoongi bottling up all this trauma in fear that he would be let go. I'm so proud of him for getting to the point where he can freely share this with us💜
@@jerseygirl6221 I agree. To be fair, it's not unique to k-pop - I'm in the US and our entertainment industry has a lot to answer for too. But I definitely think a piece of this puzzle (in both cases) is respect for the artist.
@@evantesseract737 Yes as mental health is not spoken about in South Korea and child suicide rate has over taken the child suicide rate of Japan.
The reason we love them? They are talented,relatable and sincere. The fact that they are not afraid to show their "human" parts to the world through their art is the reason. Themselves put themselves down from the "celebrity podium" declaring that they are like us ,emotional and life like us or not different from us.
With true struggles and fears but they also share with the world their ways to cope with all. Its brilliant and what the world(especially struggling people) really needs as you said to see and hear!
This endeth the trilogy. His former self killed his former self killed his former self. His current self has no scar but remember the scar.
The scar on the face is figurative.
His scars are real. Just can’t be seen.
The accident in the scene that actually happened when he was a delivery boy to earn a living while making music or while being a trainee (?), I think that’s just ONE thing that went wrong.
He never treated that shoulder until 2020. It create restrictions on his shoulder movements as it healed improperly but he didn’t want to lose his spot as a trainee. Can you imagine dancing BTS dances with a stuffed shoulder?
In many ways that paralleled the unattended emotional wounds as well.
At least until now.
Making his own music seems to be very cathartic for him. Thank god for Bang and Big Hit for allowing these guys to express themselves OUTSIDE OF BTS.
Imagine not having any outlet to deal with all the storm raging inside…
Some had to and they did not survive it 💔
He survived. He survived.
Thank you for a very thoughtful commentary and reaction ❤
The warning content from UA-cam has to do with SELF HARMING
Age restriction on this video was surely appropriate. I can vouch for that personally cuz I've been in an accident and saw my life almost end bf my eyes, for a long time your brain plays that moment again n again bf your eyes. It's crazy. The moment I played the video it brought back all those trauma, along with that, thinking abt poor yoongis trauma n sufferings, made my mind freeze for the whole night, and I'm 28, still it took a day for me to get in terms with the mv.
my face dropped immediately the moment i saw the pills in his hands especially with what he talked about in his first mixtape. i'm happy yoongi continues to heal through living through everyday and through his music
Same😕. As soon as I saw that I was reminded right away of the lyrics from his first mixtape (specifically ones from “the last”...)
He’s showing Agust D’s origin story. That persona who has tried to protect him and also hurt himself. Scars can be inside or outside. Besides all of these personal issues, he and BTS were targets of endless nonsensical hate from everyone. An army side, this is why we are so angry with SK right now- government and media and other companies have all used BTS for their own gain and never once gave back to BTS. Meanwhile, rich kids can get a job for a company that qualifies them for exemption while their job isn’t even worthy of it (chip companies, etc). Not one person in public has batted an eye or stood up to say if anyone is bringing pride to SK it should be BTS that should be honored. The mediaplay fawns over groups like blackpink because “Teddy oppa” writes such meaningful songs🙄 it’s embarrassing
I know the subject too well. I was contemplating doing a piece on it but decided not to do it. It is a sensitive subject for many and has a ridiculous background to it. I did not want to start my channel with too much negativity. However, I will get to it someday. I will be ranting like a mad man. Lol Also, there are different approaches to music. Some are food for souls and others, a snack, or a stiff drink. All has its purpose and can enrich our lives as a whole. 😁 Hope I wasn't preachy. See you next time.
@pennybleta2300 It is cultural. For the longest time, entertainers were called clowns. Kinda like Court jesters. Their social ranking was equal to the lowest of the low. Like executioners and butchers. There is still remnants of that in older generation. Second, Kpop started catering to middle school and high-school girls. And they were very immature due to tiger moms of SK. That stigma is still present. Third, not all people want depth in music. Look at world music. Most of it is garbage. Sex drugs, killing, and thuggery are the mainstay of the industry. It is market driven. That is the level of consumers and that makes money. Just reality. That is why group like BTS is so precious. It has garnere a fandomm of all ages from all around the world. Because there are still people who do not judge a book by its cover and what color or language they speak. So don't get mad, appreciate this moment in time and others who share your love. Don't worry about others. Concentrate on positive. Here is a 55 year old man publically endorcing KPOP in a country you described as somewhat vain and hateful.
Thank you for replying, and I read the other replies about being positive and you are correct… I just get so frustrated that if BTS isn’t being ignored, they are lumped in with groups that don’t even care about artistry. Even though my heart hurts, most of the time, I’m able to comment positively but once in a while I get frustrated
@@r.gorman4040 I have one thing more to say to you. All those haters and people who dissed and ignored BTS. Where are they? BTS is bigger than anyone and music history will forever remember them. Just for what they have achieved so far. That ..... is the ULTIMATE REVENGE. ^^
@@komerican-og Bravo well said.
AMYGDALA. This song. This video..
This just cracked wide open My darkest thoughts ive been suppressing cuz i needed to be fine..i had to..
I needed to move forward..
But lingering thoughts creeps and leaks in every now and then.. feeling of regrets and feeling of despair and guilt still lies deep in my mind and this song summarizes that very complex feeling…My heart feels heavy.
I still remember vivdly those sleepless nights at the hospital w my grandma to one day waking up losing her to cancer ..
Catching a full grown man my granddad having a major stroke
Taking the Difficult decision to work abroad leaving my sick granddad and family.
And having to come home to Resuscitate him and ultimately decide to stop and to let him go…
Trauma.. painful memories..
. We will never know fully what anyone went thru personally but for yoongi to share these deepest thoughts thru this masterpiece. Hope he knows how this will comfort others who are suffering too. I Thank him for holding on.. for showing us how this part of our brain just tries to keep us safe by storing such painful memories and reminds us that such painful past makes us who we are now.
Hope you hold on and go forward. All I can say is that there are many who lurch forward everyday. Me being one too.
I'm glad they put the censor on this mv, I haven't watched since it came out because it's just so raw and it so painful to me and I saw ARMYs on twitter saying that they have a fragile mental health and maybe shouldn't even have watched it the first time and to understand when some can't stream the song because it is a lot to handle and you need to look out for your mental health first so based on my own feelings and the feelings of other ARMYs this is good.
"The first and second was so fictional but this is so personal." In some ways, it makes a lot of sense and even aligns with Yoongi's past way of storytelling. What I mean by this is, if you look at his first solo album, the songs begin bombastic, loud, rebellious, full of bravado. Gradually they get more and more raw and real until eventually you reach The Last and So Far Away. Likewise, Yoongi begins this trilogy by regaling us with grand tales of corrupt kings and rebel coups, with drug lords and veteran detectives. Each one prompts us to come up with this grand backstory, especially for how they each got their scar. It almost has us forgetting a crucial part in the two other stories - no matter what sides the parts of Yoongi ally on, the videos end with one of them killing the other. He's always at literal war with himself and trying to kill the other version of himself, but ultimately they're all Yoongi. Do you see where I'm going with this?
In this video, Yoongi decides to be raw and honest - no more grand stories of heroes and villains, no struggle between 'good and evil'. This is simply /Yoongi's/ story, and now he's going to tell it.
He reveals that it was just he himself who gave himself the scar and goes through all of the real struggles and traumas that he's been through and has dealt with behind the scenes all along. And, for the first time, one version of Yoongi tries to /save/ the other instead of killing them. I think this symbolizes that, if Yoongi had known that he was going to get into an accident and go through all that hardship because of it, he never would have put himself through it. So his past self tries to save his current self. But what's done is done. There is only one Yoongi, really, and it's the one who exists now. Only he can get himself out of the room. He hasn't yet, and it's a continuous uphill battle, but he still can. What's important here is that we see that Yoongi feels comfortable enough now to be honest and open about something so personal - he's come that far. And finally, he shows empathy and compassion for himself.
He never had a scar, I believe it's his emotional scars. Reference to drugs, self-harm. That would be why, but I don't agree. If you even mention suicide, or anything like that, they will censor it. It's a beautiful song. I cried, it touched me. 💜
Just thought I'd mention, when the music video first came out, there was no censor on the music video. I can't help thinking that someone may have reported it and that's why it's now like this? I do believe it's because you see his shadow of how he got the scar. And yes, far more worse things out there on video so easily accessible by everyone.
I’m am struck with his courage.
He couldn't tell anyone about the accident and the pain afterwards because he was afraid to not be able to debut. And that wouid have been devastating since his parents were not supporting his dreams at the time, which is why he worked as a delivery boy at the same time as he was a full time trainee and also learned about music production. He barely slept. He often went without food and used the money he earned on bus tickets to BigHit.
And now it makes sense that he hurt himself and tried to kill himself with pills. He has finally opened up and this is a sincere gift we can relate to. We all have different scars. I love the video. And the song.
I think you are mixing some stuff up.
His parents were not happy with his choice because of what is happening in SK at the "moment". Look up "n-po generation" to understand what I mean.
He worked as a delivery boy as the company had no money and he wanted to go to university - which eventually the label paid for.
Yoongi began learning about music production far earlier than meeting BH. He worked - was that a radio station? a small label? a little studio? I don't quiet remember - before with little pay but also learning the basics in music production. So he actually produced songs before. There is one he made for the Gwangju uprising but it wasn't taken at that time.
There is a timeframe - still before BH - where he tried to get his music out and people stole his work, but also 2 dollar meal or a ticket is from that time.
And where did you hear that he tried to overdose? because that is new to me. He did take pain medicine for his injury from the car accident. He suffered from at least low-level pain constantly till his OP in 2020.
There is "The Last"... it could mean he was asked about self-harm but the likely interpretation was always if he thought about s*.
We are talking about the same "legend" that was always at the bottom of the trainee evaluation and still debuted. (Suchwita with TXT)
Yes, he was afraid to be cut from the label and tried to keep silent. But his injury was noted fast because he couldn't dance with it - the ripped fiber (?) - and he felt guilty for deceiving them and tried to offer his resignation but they didn't let him, brought him to hospital and told him they would wait for him to heal.
Here he makes his scar "visible" by cutting himself as we see in the shadow. This cut took a long time to heal. But it eventually did in Haegeum. I think having the members being there for him is part of that, too (always 6 members in his gang in both Daechwita and Haegeum).
Borahae!
This can be considered part one of the trilogy, the self harm to relieve the mental pain then the other incarnations to workout his inner turmoil.
Same, I think it's in this order
Amygdala
Daechwita
Haeguem
@@BTS_Zarmi Agreed
It's adult content because the mv deals with topics of self harm and suicide, which can be triggering and do deserve a content warning.
In the US we don't have to verify our age. Instead there's a warning that the content may contain suicide or self-harm topics, and we have to click on a button acknowledging that we understand and wish to proceed. I suppose YT handles it differently in different countries.
First of all, let me say, I really enjoyed your reaction!
For me at least, the MV warning specifies that it includes suicide and/or self-harm topics, which I understand. I'm in a much better place right now than I was years ago and I still recoiled when I saw the box cutter in his hand. Yes, it is real life and it should be talked about, but I don't think anyone would be happy if someone who is currently struggling with self-harm went to watch this video, not knowing what was in it. That is what trigger warnings are for, for someone who might be adversely affected by imagery like this to decide if they are in the right headspace to see something like that.
I think people these days use the word "trigger" in a way that has diminished its meaning, but for people who suffer from psychological trauma that can be *triggered* by imagery like in the MV, things like the content warning can make the difference between momentary discomfort when they go in knowing what they might see vs. a spiral of self-harm/suicidal thoughts they can't get out of.
It is really unfortunate that on UA-cam that means that you also have to verify that you're 18+ old because this MV could be and probably is (at least to me) helpful and healing in a way.
Good point. I must have overreacted due to stupid censorship in Korea.
@@komerican-og It's understandable tbh! And it really does suck that you have to verify your age as well because like I said, this MV has the potential to healing as well to people who have suffered like Suga has, and not all of them necessarily are over the required 18 years old or even if they are, have the means to verify their age on UA-cam.
Um i watched this and I didn’t have any type of trigger warning nor ager verification; and in the back of my mind i knew that yoongi always gets me triggered with some things since he’s been so vocal about such issues (which i always love and appreciate), however I went in thinking that it’ll be okay and didn’t know that there’s such imagery placed in there which made get into a dark spiral and sob since I’m still somewhat struggling. This gets me to the point that I agree that such explicit trigger warning need to be there because I would’ve been more mentally prepared if I knew.
Suga: Esta es mi historia hasta los 20. Lo que realmente quiero mostrarte aquí es "Por qué tienes la cicatriz en el ojo?"Porque todas las cicatrices y heridas las hago yo mismo.Un viaje con recuerdos, cosas que quiero borrar....
AMYGDALA" nos cuenta la vida de Min Yoongi, quien le hizo frente a momentos muy difíciles en su vida. Desde su accidente, hasta hablarnos de sus padres y tocar el tema de su depresión. El video dura 4:21 minutos pero duele toda la vida.
The verification is from him shoving a handful of pills in his mouth and being found on the kitchen floor by (I'm guessing) his dad, and carving a scar on his face. It's not necessarily a concern about age but more for those who might have gone through those struggles of suicide and self-harm. It's a beautiful and raw video, but for some people it could bring up a lot of past or present traumas.
I've already age verified so the pop-up I get is just warning about themes of suicide and self-harm.
This MV is heartbreakingly beautiful 💔 😭 I can't stop crying since yesterday !!!
Content is one thing but musically it is haunting and meticulous. I love it so much. That is perhaps why I overreacted. Something like this does not happen often. All should enjoy it.
@John Kim (Komerican-OG) yes! I wish more people would see it . Have a good day 💜
I love this song and the MV, it's one of the best. I have been wondering why this is the third part of the trilogy, what the connection between Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala could be. To me Min Yoongi/Agust D is an immensely political person (see his lyrics). I might be wrong ofc, but If you look at Daechwita there is hope you can do away with tyranny and have sth like "democracy" (the "people" help the protagonist). Haegeum is much less optimistic, one ("bad") power is only replaced by another (a sad reality). What about Amygdala? Only by confronting yourself with the pains and hurts of the past, "unpacking them", you can go forward. But the next necessary step is "putting them back to where they belong" they are your memories, not your present, while keeping the knowledge of what you have learned about yourself/society through the "unpacking". It is an extremely painful and ongoing process but only by acknowledging the "traumata" and sufferings of the past (and they always stay with you) you have the chance to move forward, do sth new and different (D day). The Yoongi of Daechwita was angry, rebellious but also naive, while in Haegeum you could say he is desperate (nothing really changes however much you fight), only by accepting the situation as it is he/society can change (Amygdala).
It's very touching that the MV is made up of Yoongi's traumas, I watched the MV with tears in my eyes. And I'm proud of Yoongi for being able to tell us about his traumas.
There were actually three Yoongi in the Amygdala MV.
One was experiencing real-life events.
The other wanted to save him from his pain.
And the other was just watching and eating almonds.
In the book of Amond, MC's mother had him eat almonds because she believed it would help him.
It starts to rain towards the end of the video. Rain is a symbol of unhappiness BUT it is also a pause for introspection. That's why her self-analysis was the reason she couldn't escape her memories and kept spinning around.
thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best 🥹🥹🥹 #agustd #dday #amygdala, to me, the last scene looked like a grave .... It's like he is burying AGUST D 😭😭😭😭
Please check out Agust D The Last from his first mixtape in 2016. Just the lyrics version only.
That was another heartbreaking song 😭😭😭
@@annac1540 😭 Yes
I don't know how rating systems for media works in Korea so I can only guess about the reason for the age limit. I wonder if they see him cutting his face open with the knife as self-harm and him taking all of the pills as drug abuse. I think the knife scene was more implied since they didn't show it directly and the pills was just to show the passage of time where he had to take medication for his pain after the accident (perhaps also mental health things since he has mentioned dealing with anxiety, depression, ocd and adhd before). I suppose they're not looking at the intent of the scenes so much as they're focusing on how young people might see it. Personally I think young people are aware enough of the world and go through similar struggles too so they would understand it for what it is.
Taking meds for depression or the pain is a natural thing. It should not have been an issue. It was not like he was taking drugs. Hew...Come down John...
BTS’ Suga goes on a journey through his past painful memories in the new video for “Amygdala,” taken from his new album under the Agust D moniker, D-DAY.
The track, which is laced with rock riffs and hip-hop beats, finds the rapper recounting trauma he has experienced throughout his life, from a motorcycle accident he was in during his time as a trainee to his mother’s heart surgery.
The visuals, which were directed by Lumpens, bring some of those events to searing life, with the video cutting between those recollections and a more recent version of Suga struggling to process them. The video opens with a content warning for content relating to suicide and self-harm.
I just went and watched it myself so I could watch your reaction and I'm... Shook.
I need to sit with this one. I'm not going to watch a lot of reactions to it. It's fucking brilliant and beautiful and it hurts. I need to trust people to treat this work with respect, you know?
I trust you.
Thank you. This truly deserves respect. Musically it is awesome too.
@@komerican-og it was already my favorite song on the album before I even had a translation.
I had the warning on my screen but not the age verification. It asked me twice before moving to the MV. I agree that there are far worst video out there that should get the age verification but this was not one of it. Great reaction 💜
Raw and graceful all in one.
Лучшая реакция. Вы очень точно выразили свои мысли об увиденном и услышанном. Они в точности совпали и с моими размышлениями. Юнги очень талантлив как исполнитель, как продюсер. А также неимоверно смел, чтобы обнажать душу перед миллионами слушателей. Очень целостный человек. Сейчас это редкость.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment. See you around.
The sad part of this song both the old and new Suga trying to open the door but coundnt. Still he is trap inside and still struggling but atleast he is aware of all the source of his pain and trying to get out or looking for help. People who struggling with mental health can relate to it. That's why BTS is the best group or even individually above from the rest of singers around the world. They discuss reality and we learn from it.
Yes it was on a motorbike while doing a delivery part time job and he was hit by a car. I also believe it was raining at the time. Every time I hear this track it's managed to bring a tear to my eye. As I've read the translation a few time's over.
🇰🇷Suicide & depression stats are the highest globally. Mental Health is still a very unfortunate taboo subject, that it shouldn’t. This MV raises awareness. My opinion as a psychology professor in UK, this shouldn’t have a trigger alert warning.
I think it is about the self harm with the razor to cut himself. He is a great producer. He is in a better place now and is much happier and hopefully has let go of his past and can grow even more and have true happiness. He is such an impressive person.
HYBE is deleting comments from Psychology Professors. I commented to state this MV raises awareness & no one should suffer in silence. ARMY I need your help, PLEASE make noise to help make change in🇰🇷I wish I could offer my services in Korea, the way I’am able in 🇬🇧
It has a trigger warning because of the self harm scene
I like how he states that the MV is real life,, and its a life lesson for all generation so why control it by media,,
We learn our life lessons by going through both the good side and bad sides of life.
I cried watching this video. So much pain that he had to endure. As do we all.

Such a personal song. Wonderful. It has become my favorite from him already.
I love this song and MV, too. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
Like his soul cryes out music
Thank you for your reaction. It was the best explanation of all that Yoongi has gone through. I think he was fighting with himself and trying to get rid of all the bad things that happened in his life. You are so on point! Thank you again.
strong words there. i don't think the censorship was stupid. there are several things in this video that can be triggering to people.
i have struggled with some things that are depicted in the video from a very young age. i watched this video when the warning wasn't there yet and it messed me up.
it would have helped me greatly if i had seen that warning and i'm glad it's there now. also, i definitely wouldn't want my childhood self to watch this. let's not forget that there are kids who've already been through traumatic experiences. it affected me horribly at 25 and it would've affected me much worse as a child.
Perhaps it was my knee-jerk reaction to so much ridiculous censorship in Korea that I had to witness. However, in this world of gore, sex, drugs and violence in all form of media, a real story of a man overcoming trauma and depression really that terrible? And also please note that I was not responding to a warning. Actually, a warning would have been just fine. I totally agree that children should be protected and be warned. I was reacting to a total block. Anyone and everyone had to do a phone age verification. It blocks all casual adult viewers who do not want to go to the trouble, would not watch the mv. I thought that was excessive. Please understand that at the time I did not know this differed from country to country.
@@komerican-og fair. i do think having to verify your age from your phone is a bit excessive. where i'm from, we just have to click twice, once to confirm that we've seen the warnings and would like to proceed regardless and once to confirm that we understand that it is not suitable for certain viewers.
and no, yoongi's story is not terrible. it's just that it could be disturbing to a sensitive mind but also, very motivational. i think everyone should have the choice to learn about it.
@june3894 Thank you for your concern. It was fully warranted. Being a foreigner in Korea, it is a bit difficult to authenticate. Also, I thought the work was so beautiful and significant that I overreacted. Thanks again.
Perhaps the knife and scar represent SUGA’s attempts to permanently cut out the reoccurring vision of the bad memories that make him feel out of control
In the video, Yoongi showed a scene where he self harmed. There are those who went through trauma. Maybe they used to self harm themselves or maybe watched someone self harm and try to take their own lives or just been abused in general. There was enough to the video for them to put in a viewer discretion because it could be a trigger for some people.
I mean it's easy to be critical of the YT msg when you arent the one struggling with your mental health, no I haven't watched reaction yet and I saw what you said about how you are upset with censorship but still think about what other people have gone through
Why would you assume that I had no trauma and mental health issues in my life? The mv was about overcoming that and that is a good thing.
this song touches our traumas... thank you for your thoughts
About the content warning - it was different in the US, just a warning. But I get where it comes from. There's a lot of fear when depicting suicide because it can genuinely lead to more people dying of suicide. I don't think it means we shouldn't show it, especially this honestly. And he survived, and while the song sits in his pain, it's from the perspective of a survivor. I don't think it will cause harm.
I wish they didn't think age was the important thing that would protect people. Plenty of people over 18 wouldn't be in a good place to see this, and plenty of people under 18 should.
Here it was a "mature content" warning and then a "depictions of suicide" warning, both of which I just had to tap on, and I thought that was fine. It wasn't a significant barrier, though.

Yeah i can't watch it anymore because of the age thing. i'm older than 18 but UA-cam wants my ID informations or credid card informations and i'm not giving that to them. Luckely i was able watch it and this is without a doupt one of my favorite mvs and songs out there
I've never heard of youtube wanting personal information to confirm your age, sounds very sketchy to me. Do you have youtube premium?
@@crystalsnow1138 it depends on the country you're from when you're from a country in europe you have to give this kinda informations. It really sucks
It's because the mv includes sensitive content (self-harm). That's why you need to confirm the viewer's age. This mv is very personal and might trigger someone.
@@sevenwithyou_ yes i inow and i completly understand that they have to check but they don't need my id or credid card informations for that but thank you for your answer:)
I have the same problem and I'm happy I can see it through this video.
I did some research and Google says that you can cover parts of your ID that are not necessary.
I think about doing that, but my parents are really skeptical about both ways.
It really sucks. Even more because they already have the birth date☹️
amygdala, region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes. The name amygdala is derived from the Greek word amygdale, meaning “almond,” owing to the structure’s almondlike shape. The amygdala is located in the medial temporal lobe, just anterior to (in front of) the hippocampus. Similar to the hippocampus, the amygdala is a paired structure, with one located in each hemisphere of the brain. The amygdala is part of the limbic system, a neural network that mediates many aspects of emotion and memory. Although historically the amygdala was considered to be involved primarily in fear and other emotions related to aversive (unpleasant) stimuli, it is now known to be involved in positive emotions elicited by appetitive (rewarding) stimuli.

I think it the fact that we all have scars in our lives and they are just things we have to get through and we will never know if we ever made the right kind of choices in our lives and if we don't have the experiences we wont know what we are made of and what we can amd cannot handle
Hi John, could I don't know your name be in reference to the the hit and run driver from the accident? There has to be pain on the other side of that incident too, a person who knows the details but didn't do the right thing who at this point must have put all the facts together and still doesn't speak, can't speak. We can be prisoners of our choices, our memories, the amygdala holds onto past trauma and shapes our responses. Fight or flight, the most basic or responses; we flee in so many ways. Unfortunately the flight creates more problems than it solves.
Nice to see you again. Yes, the survival. I feel that he really felt survival was on his mind during that time. I am so glad he fought and won.
Oh I just realised you were asked to verify your age. I got that about 2 and half years ago when I went to watch a the Thai BL 'Manner of Death' as it was classified as over 18years old due to the subject matter.
I live in America. The stuff that goes on here....on almost a daily basis... and the content of American TV programs, whether it's copious amounts of violence or sex...its all been normalized in my country. We even have entire TV channels dedicated to REAL murder mysteries... actual crimes that people follow and find highly entertaining. I don't know where I'm going with this only that I needed to get it out and I'll stop here before my cognitive dissonance really kicks in.
Suffice to say I agree with you on the censorship thing and anyone reading this don't come at me, every human being on the face of this planet has dealt with trauma in one form or another whether they realize it or not, but learning to cope with it rather than avoiding it entirely could, potentially, be more helpful than harmful.

This is my comment three days later- just watched a fancam for Suga’s performance of Amygdala at his concert in NY yesterday. This was one of the better quality videos. I loved his performance, so moving! (Less sad than the MV). It’s not a spoiler for me cuz I want to take it all in now (even though I will be going to his concert in less than 3 weeks from now). Do not watch if this will be a spoiler for those of you who want to wait for the real thing.

The members may hug him.
But you have to be in his inner circle to do that.
Or do you like strangers going up to you and hug you?
But I share your wish to give comfort. I don't think we can beside staying and defending him and the others from antis/cancel culture etc.

11:05 agree
The "better choice" was attempt of suicide. He tried. You should listen the song the last. It'll help a lot to understand everything.
The Adult Content warning is because there are subjects and images that can be triggering for some. :)
this is adult content because of the reference to self-harm
난한국에서보스연예인계속하죠
The content warning was 100% for the fact he cuts himself in the video and likely because he takes an awful lot of pills in which the imagery leads to believe ended him up in the hospital. So those parts of "real life" are hard to see for some people
The cutting was symbolic and pills were for his depression and pain. I could see now how it could be viewed in certain way. But there have been so many stupid censors in the past. I am sure his song will do fine. It is just too good.
Misogenic and highly sexual lyrics and images in current music where the female subject is used and if artistic, lyrical, realistic and inspirational content is censored are not restricted. I think the difference is who earns $$$ with that content being accessible.
exactly ... the censor is so stupid. yes there is self harm.. but i despise how youtube controls content of the wrong things.. this song should not censored :(
There are people shooting each other In movies and slicing people up in video games. This had real content and message of overcoming these fears and trauma. This was ridiculous to me.
censorship on here is so selective and hypocritical. Like John said, this is real content, and real life can get ugly
