I made a separate comment for this, but I think the “pill-popper” line is more a call out to Korean Hip Hop artists rather than a call out to hip hop rappers in general. Some rappers in the KHH scene have received a lot of criticism by trying to emulate all the negative sides of american hip hop culture in their goal of becoming “true hip hop”. Like rapping in english, thinking rapping fast is good rapping, and even mumble rapping. One of the heavier criticized acts has been the drug addiction. We know that drug addiction has been a badly painted side of american rappers, and has nothing to do with what being a good rapper actually is, but these khh rappers still purposely do drugs to try and be better rappers. So Yoongi is not calling out the addicts or the addiction itself, but rather the “copying” or the belief that drug-addiction is a part of hh culture, as that is actually very disrespectful. We can’t know for sure, because Yoongi himself said he made very blanket statements for a reason, which is “if you think I’m talking about you, then that’s your problem.”
Another really great insight and this is the one I thought that the song led with. Some people are saying it's about him and how he has avoided becoming that stereotypical Hip-Hop person but I still think there's a bigger message being sent to hip hop as a whole.
@@AltSpace I'm kinda with you on this. I took it as a criticism of the glorification of drug use and even abuse* (like molly, cocaine and prescription drugs etc) that's prevalent in hiphop culture today. Not really "attacking" people/artists who struggle with addiction, kinda like you said. Like it's about the phenomena not necessarily the individuals.. It's about the drug "aesthetic" to me. I base this somewhat on that Yoongi (Suga) is (or seems, idk him personally lol) a sympathetic person and I highly doubt that he would be so insensitive/mean as to shit on anyone for having problems with/suffering from substance abuse. I use / a lot because English isn't my first language and it's hard to choose words to express myself sometimes. Hope it's not too disorienting/confusing! Edit: * I say use and abuse because they hold different meanings.
King Suga is the old Agust D, back when he released his first mix tape, hence the older setting, older clothes etc and the scar on his face being fresh. Back then he wanted the fame and the money and he has admitted he was fuelled a lot by anger. The black haired Suga is today's Agust D, hence the car, new clothes, watch etc and the scar now being old. Today's Agust D now has all those things, he's not only reached where he wanted to be but he has surpassed it. And in doing so he has realised that all those things aren't really what's important in life, hence him talking about wanting to just put his feet on the ground and experience some normality. This whole scenario is him facing his old self and putting (or trying to, Suga said himself he's not sure whether old Agust D is completely gone) an end to him, saying he's not that person anymore. It's a statement saying "The old Agust D is gone, but I'm still here, just with different goals and priorities."
I thought about it backwards. He started off with nothing and now he's like a king and has everything but in the end he makes sure to let us know that he is still himself not letting being successful envelope him or change him. It's cool to see different interpretations.
Fun fact: all BTS's mixtapes and more are available for free on Soundcloud. "Daechwita" is the music that is played in Korea when the king went on a walk or when the army marched. It's basically announcing the King has arrived. He also said he chose it because it fitted well with ARMY (BTS's fans) too. He sampled the music of "Daechwita". It's both Agust D in the video! It actually represents the "ego king" and "rebel slave" in the MV. It's also not about someone else that is famous. It's about the conflict within himself as he's someone who has achieved worldwide fame and struggles with wanting to keep his feet on the ground and having to carry the celebrity image. In the end of the video the "slave" shoots at the "king", showing he wants to get rid of that ego side. He said that he on purpose didn't show if the king got hit or not in the end. This is just the concept of the MV though, the lyrics don't exactly follow this and go into other things he wanted to say. Also the fact that he is bragging is very rare to see in real life or any BTS content, they very much so deserve to brag with everything they have achieved by now, but they still keep humble and down to earth. I don't think you realize how succesful BTS is, both as solo and group artists and how hard they have worked for it. You should watch "from Nobodies to Legends" or the "BTS Crash Course 2020". I also highly recommend you check out Agust D's full mixtape D-2 on your own to better grasp his mindset in this song. He has another song "Dear My Friend" on the mixtape that goes into his childhood friend that got lost in drugs, probably partly why he's so intolerant. The reason it's called D-2 is because it's his second mixtape. I would recommend the song "The Last" from his first mixtape (called just Agust D) where he really goes deep into his depression, social anxiety and more struggles.
I agree about the recommendation to watch nobodies to legends and bts crash course 2020. 😁 He also talked about mumble rap and RM called out mumble rap in his solo song Joke... could be interesting for him too.
It’s all Agust D in this song. He’s better known as Suga from BTS but is frequently called Yoongi, which is his real name. Suga does flow changes in a song is so creative and he does it so smoothly.
When asked who the song was about he basically said “if the shoe fits....”. Basically, He doesn’t need to be high to do what he does. He’s saying he doesn’t think that they need it either. Also, a little background info, one of his best friends from childhood, and into adulthood, went to jail for something to do with substance abuse. Check out his song “Dear My Friend” on his mixtape D-2. The whole mixtape is worth a listen, it’s self produced and VERY good.

@@am_4694 TY for the translation site tip! I'm newer to this and have noticed that some 'English lyrics' sites (for song lyrics) don't always seem to include sine of the actual words.... when i looked up word for word in a translator> Also same when able to see commentators translations. Looking forward to giving wordpress a go.
@@karenhummel465 yw. Some languages use lots of euphemism. East asians are prone to that. I'm trying to learn mandarin and at a glance Korean and Japanese are also like that. Native translator is best since they know the context
"Is this the same guy" Yeah that's the same guy 😂😂 you're fine bro. Also, I really like all the insight u provide on hip hop culture. learning a lot of things here! Also u could check out the explained vid by dkdktv later for more on the lyrics and their meaning. there's a lot of history behind some of it!! great vid !! ((EDIT)) Daechwita is Korean traditional marching music reserved for kings and the military if I recall--the explained video goes more in depth 👍👍
Someone already gave a great explanation on the pill 💊 popper lyric. However, I will add that Yoongi is just saying his NOT a weak pill popper-he doesn’t have to do that. So, rather than a call out -it’s more of a general statement about his success. He has often said to whomever needs to hear it “your failures are not related to my success”. BTS is all about accountability of one’s self.
My take on this song is that it's a bit of a sequel to the song Interlude: Shadow where Suga says "I wanna be a rap star, I wanna be the top, I wanna be a rockstar, I want it all mine, I wanna be rich, I wanna be the king." Well now he is the king and he's bragging a bit about that. But to me the real key to the song comes during the flow switch where is says "I got everything I wanted, what more'll make me feel contented, I wanted clothes clothes, then money money, then goal goal now what's next, Yeah what's next, here comes my reality check there's nowhere higher". Also, both roles are played by Suga in the video. So in a way you can view the "King" Suga as the (false) pinnacle he desired in the past, and "Street" Suga as killing his own prior mistakes. Also, love your videos. Your insight into broader hip hop culture really makes them worthwhile.
I also see a link with some songs of his previous mixtape, for instance in "the last" when he says that he feels that greed could turn him into a monster. I think "King Suga" here might be some sort of manifestation of that "monster" he's afraid to become. And in the end he kills that monster , tus it's all ok, he finally put this side of him under control
Hey! Both the black haired guy and the blonde haired guy were the same guy playing different "characters" so yes they are both Min Yoongi (birth name) AKA Suga (BTS stage name) AKA Agust D (solo project alias)
He's not speaking to anyone else's experience or feigning to be "their voice". He is HIS OWN voice directly pertaining to his own experiences and the people he has avoided or juked becoming. He could've easily fallen into the "other path". This song is about his own strength in finding his path and feeling grateful that he didn't go another way. He could've EASILY become that but he wants to share his Strong Mental Attitude that has nothing to do with anyone else.
@@AltSpace I want to add something he said that strengthens what has been said above which is something along the lines of " I've written the songs of this mixtape about and to myself, it's a message as well as a representation of the 28-year-old Agust D"
Ok but let's talk about Born Singer- YT blocked and it makes me want to watch it more. Where? How? Do you have Patreon? Ill sign up i literally need to watch it.
Daechwita is a traditional Korean military song... check out the history of behind it and you'll realize how he put so much historical moments and pain into it. Every little detail will leave you shook because he is a musical genius 🙂
I feel like you already know what your comments are about to be flooded with. DKDKTV made an "Explained by a Korean" video on Daechwita(pronounced: day-chu-weh-ta), filled to the brim with Korean history and references to tales centuries ago to now. Also, pre-warning. In less than a week, BTS is dropping a retro English single called Dynamite so be prepared for a flood of those requests as well. August 21, mark your calendar.
Actually Suga/Agustd did start from the bottom he was poor back then and could barely afford food or a bus ride. People used to rip his off from his music so he made no money. This also talks about how successful Agust d has became but this is about him getting rid of his arrogant side saying no matter how much money/fame I make I will still remain humble. This song has many meanings to it there is an explanation video if you want to watch it.
5:22 lmao look at those heads hanging while he’s dancing 😂 he killed the haters I would fully recommend you to watch “BTS from nobodies to Legends 2019” so you really can understand what motivates BTS with their music. Please also react to cyphers t’s funny because Min Yoongi said that Daechwita was the last song of his mixtape so imagine how many other bomps that mixtape has. Also Yoongi said that daechwita is for BTS and Army since he’s the king and we are the army 😍
Really appreciate your detailed analysis! A great great video is also "Who is BTS: The Seven Members of Bangtan." You see the backstory on why they are so loved and how they overcame so so much
Daechwita is a traditional Korean musical genre. Highly recommend watching DKDKTV’s video “Agust D - Daechwita Explained By a Korean” video. Goes into some of the historical and cultural references. Pretty deep stuff.
Yeah basically at the end he killed the "successful famous rich" version of himself which has a connection to his first release under AgustD, the mixtape called AgustD (its title track is also called AgustD lol) Btw, AgustD is DT Suga spelled backwards, DT stands for Daegu Town (his home town) and Suga is his artistic name under BTS :)
Best to believe this is 100% pure Korean. The instruments, the history of the lyrics and the sets and clothes. If your interested, there is an explained video of this song " Daechwita explained."
Just so you know, We have a picture of Suga/Agust D (Yoongi is his real name lol) with Logic in Logic's studio from the last time they were in LA. Since both of them have now put out their projects for the year and we still haven't seen a collaboration between them, we're all still kind of holding our breath wondering what exactly they were working on.....
Yoongi said that one of the collaborations that he had on his mix-tape, didnt work out cause the other had personal stuff. I have allways thought that might have been Logic. But no one knows...
I am so happy to see that you put the mv as the big screen and you on the small screen as the mv is playing. This way we can read the lyrics. Thank you for thinking about us.
Blond haired king Suga is the same guy as black haired modern day Suga. The story in the MV is modern Suga overthrowing the mad king who represents Suga's past self. If you watch closely, you will see Suga make a deal in the marketplace with the butcher. The butcher is also the executioner, so instead of killing Suga, he smuggles in a gun to help overthrow the mad king. Daechwita is traditional Korean music played when the king or the army is in procession. So I think the best translation for this song would be something like "the king is here". Suga used real Daechwita music in the production of this song, and you can hear it especially at the beginning of the track. FYI, Agust D = Suga = Min Yoongi, and he is a member of BTS. He uses the Agust D name for his solo music which he produces himself. Suga is his stage name as a member of BTS. He is often credited as one of the producers and/or writers on BTS songs. He has also produced songs for other Korean artists, such as "Eight" with IU, "So Far Away" with Suran, and "Song Request" with Lee Sora".
Both Suga and RM of BTS were prominent underground rappers in Korea. They were derided by some fellow rappers when they signed onto an "idol" group saying that the two had been on the right path but succumbed to temptation by doing so. These rappers told them that they were basically performing as girls since idols wore make-up on stage. So some parts are responses to particular people. However the main message is as you said, he's climbed so high but wants to keep his feet on the ground. The blonde Agust D is based on a real historical figure who became paranoid and power mad. The dark haired Agust D conspires with the butcher from the beginning of the MV, who is also the executioner, to rebel and kill the king. Suga is in effect killing off any shadow urges to keep his ego in check and feet on the ground. BTW the fellow with the fishing pole and the guy with whom he fights are members of BTS, JIN and Jungkook. Supposedly the girl that's holding the box that holds the jade car key represents the fan base ARMY. Also the framed saying above Suga's head in this scene is from Confucius and means "the classical scholar doesn't value treasure".
Suga actually struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts and made an album touching on those subjects and it’s very sad but you see how he’s grown and it’s amazing
Great to see another reaction from you! Welcome back! As I understand it, "Daechwita" is a type of traditional Korean music that is played when an army starts marching, or to announce the arrival of the king. Also there's only one rapper in this - it's Suga/AgustD the whole time. He plays both the tyrannical king with blonde hair and the peasant/street kid with the black hair. Both have a scar across their right eye, to show they are connected (I believe). My own interpretation of the video is that the king Suga represents the famous, successful, possibly greedy side of him (or what he could potentially be if he let his greed and fame go to his head) - he has reached the top and beheads anyone who displeases him. The peasant Suga represents the side of him that wants to be grounded in reality and stay grateful and humble (as much as Suga flexes in this song, I think the line "I only looked up and now I want to look down and put my feet on the ground" is the most important one in the song, that's just my opinion, though!). That's why peasant Suga kills king Suga at the end - he's metaphorically putting an end to that side of himself (or potential side). DKDKTV did a theory video on this one, too, which has some good ideas and explanations. Sorry for the long comment! Hope it all made sense. XD
Suga aka Agust D👑 is a well known producer and songwriter in south korea, he even won a award. Suga released their second mixtape 'D-2' and his songs quickly positioned in the most important places of music chats worldwide . Suga has become the first South Korean solo artist to enter both the Billboard album and single charts at the same time, following the release of the "mixtape" "D-2" with his title track "Daechwita" . Inspired by traditional Korean music used for the military march and royal parade, "Daechwita" combines the sound of traditional Korean wind and percussion instruments with the hiphop musical sub-genre "trap". Agust D 2, Suga's second mixtape has received a lot of support from fans and his music has positioned himself in the best places on the music charts, breaking several records. Suga's second solo record material, 'D-2' is in seventh place on the official album chart in the UK, the country's music list is considered one of the most important in the world. Suga has become the first South Korean soloist to have record material on the UK music chart and place his work in such an important position on the chart. Suga is one of the most influential Korean producers and musicians in the music industry. entertainment, thanks to the talent of the rapper from the company Big Hit, many artists seek to collaborate with him.
this artist has dealt with depression and social anxiety. with that being said, he's absolutely not mocking it. he's made several songs touching this topic and about mental awareness. :) it's about him... he's reached that level of success. he plays two roles though... also him... an internal conflict. and it's resolved at the end... you know, the "king" getting shot. daechwita is the background music that's being played when the king in the korean dynasty is about to go out and do a "march." it signifies the entrance of the king.
Daechwita (literally "great blowing and hitting") is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching or when the king is walking......something like that
Welcome back! I’m really liking your reactions!!! When Yoongi (Agust D) talked about Daechwita, he said he made this song to be more of an auditory-pleasing song rather than hold much meaning. The MV follows a story line connected to his past MV, but there isn’t much depth to the song outside of that. However, the album itself D-2, is my second favorite album of 2020 so far. Even if you don’t react to it, I would love for you to listen to it, as Yoongi as always been a storyteller and you seem like the type of person who enjoys that. In D-2, Yoongi opens up and shares his fears, dreams, feelings, and thoughts about making it so big and though the album struck me as very nostalgic, sad, and lonely, it’s also extremely comforting, raw, and emotional. Trust me, it’s an experience. If you do want to delve deeper and listen to the album, I would recommend staying far away from the lyric videos here on yt as they have horrible translations and instead share this site, a translation page by a fellow ARMY: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/d-2/
"I always set traps in my music. You know how you set traps to catch cockroaches? They always come and die in the trap. The songs “Daechwita” and “What Do You Think?” are my traps. I guess those people just never learn. They always come and step on my traps. They should have learned something by now but they always seem to step in the traps still. I just laugh when I see that." - Min Yoongi aka SUGA aka Agust D
I don’t know if this comment will be seen because I’m super late lol. But Daechwita is a traditional Korean type of music that is typically played when a king arrives or at the coronation of a NEW KING. All in all Min Yoongi (aka Suga, aka Agust D) is saying. I HAVE ARRIVED. It’s really cool that he not only used influences from the traditional Korean sound but references the sound’s history while making it clear he is in his bagggggggg. 🤯🤯🤯
Welcome back! As always, I’m enjoying your perspective. I definitely recommend checking out Suga’s most recent mixtape, D-2, from which Daechwita was a single. The entire thing is masterful, so even if you don’t react to it, it’s worth a listen. Also, to get a better idea of his headspace and what he was rapping about during the flow change, check out Interlude: Shadow.
I recommend you to watch BTS Interlude: Shadow (there is the short version of the song in the video, the full length version is in the Map of the soul: 7 album). It's Suga's solo where he speaks that he wanted to become big but he hasn't known how hard it is to be famous (especially to him cause we know he is an introvert). There are two Sugas in the video - him and his shadow (his fears). This song is part of BTS's albums era Map of the Soul based on psychologist Carl Jung's Map of the Soul. According to Jung, "the Shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge." As the other ARMYs has already said, you should become familiar with the guys' personalities and background cause their experience, thoughts, fears definitely reflects in their music. Once you know the songs hit differently. Who is BTS?: The Seven Members of Bangtan is a good introduction (though it's a little bit outdated) along with BTS From Nobodies to Legends and BTS' Contribution to Music. Thank you for the reaction.
I would really love to see you react to the rest of his mix tape D-2! It’s a masterpiece, really worth a listen. This is the only song with a MV but would still love a reaction. If not you should check it out on your own time :)
Just letting you know that DKDKTV also did an explained video for this song that talks a lot about the (honestly as we know with BTS) crazy amount of references he uses in this song. Hopefully, you check out his whole album as the whole mixtape is such a full, dynamic, reflective project. It's basically him wrapped up in an album, his music is always really personal to who he is.
Im so happy your back I havent seen a very insightful reaction to this in awhile and its refreshing I have seen some of the comments has already explained the aspect of what the song pertains to.. You can also watch the DKDKTV explanation if you want... I hope you check out his whole mixtape I honestly love ~Strange~ that track is just something else .Makes us realize how much we dismiss the existence of capitilism and polarization of our society
@@AltSpace you can check them out as they release their mixtapes on soundcloud for free ... Though i distrust how good are the translations on lyric videos you can check out his tracks there. Honestly love for you to react to each member Please react to Who is BTS the seven members of bangtan though not updated enough its got the basic info for each member
About the “pill popper” line I think he’s calling out K HipHop for trying to distort the culture because actual HipHop cover drugs and other vices because it is a part the writer’s life as contrast to these “rappers” in Korea who do vices to make it seem like they’re HipHop. Why he’s taking shots at this is because BTS got a LOT of crap, him and RM especially, from the K HipHop community for debuting in a Kpop idol group and discriminating their work saying that that’s not HipHop and just “rap” just cuz they’re a part of an idol group.
AltSpace “idol groups” are what Koreans call kpop groups, the Korean equivalent of “boy/girl bands” or “boy/girl groups”. In context regarding the hate and usual preconceived notions, I think there’s a general stereotype with regards to Boy Groups and Girl Groups around the world, or to those who’re looking in, that it’s just a “teen girl” thing. Some of it’s understandable considering that not a lot of pop groups have creative control, this is especially true for kpop group. They’re packaged in a very groomed, aesthetically pleasing act. Very few groups have creative freedom, and BigHit, BTS’ company gives them that. However, in the beginning they didn’t have that much support especially from the the KHipHop scene in spite the bulk of their songs as a group fall under HipHop.
Just a small detail i heard about, at the beginning when suga's walking in the market place he gestures, and they show a clip, of a butcher, the same one at the end who helps in kill his other persona.
It is the same guy as the King! Both the King & the village commoner in the car is the same person - Suga aka Agust D aka Min Yoongi. There’s nobody featured in this song. It’s all him.
The blond haired "king" and the black haired "commoner" are the same person! They're both Agust D (/Suga). I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts and insights on the song. Hearing new perspectives is so cool.
Both guys are SUGA, it's okay if you got confused. He's just playing as two different "Agust D"s. Because in his latest MV, he's blonde. Now he's black haired And yeahh, Suga mentioned this is supposed to be pleasant to ears and eyes, the mv is so entertaining and the beat is sick! 🔥 Also, pls if you could check out 'Intro: Singularity' by BTS, it would be awesome!
Correct analysis: his emperor persona has risen up to the top. But he's also, if you notice, at odds with his still extant peasant persona. Hence... dynamic tension and this raps exposition.
I think you may be interested in reacting to sugas (agust d) song "the last" from his first mixtape. In it he talks about struggles he has and things like depression and social anxiety. Thanks for the reaction, I think you did well. Also thre is a point in the video where the bts members jin and jungkook make an appearance in the background while suga is walking through the marketplace if you want to look for that, I find it very humourous
yup.. i knew it u gonna love him more and more.. we love all the member bts but min yoongi /aka suga as in bts aka agust d is my bias, as his mixtape mostly open about his deep feeling.. It is fun to watch your reaction.. am enjoying it....

You should really listen to whole D-2 mixtape. Seriously, it's a masterpiece and he really told his story in it. It still gives me goosebumps till this day every time I listened to it.
You're not entirely wrong. Suga comes from a family who had very little money and he started from litteraly nothing. He tried to sell his demos to people on the street and sometimes he had to choose to either buy food for himself or a busticket to get home. That was before he was recruited to BTS.
lmao its the same dude!! he plays 2 characters that represent himself. The mad king (his past-self) and his current self finally facing himself while the lyrics are a diss to haters and modern 'artists' in music today how its all based around the mindset of drugs, money, and women. The song goes realll in depth like all of BTS' other songs (this is a rapper from the group). if you want you can check out this song explained by a korean and he breaks down the meaning of every lyric and the symbolism in the MV!
Suga had been in the past in a troubled mental state, and he did not go to drugs to overcome it (he has been diagnosed with social phobia, anxiety, and Depression). He also had a friend that went to jail bc of drugs and the very moment the dude got out, and Suga tried to go close to him again, the guy offered him drugs. Again. But also, those rappers that use excuses to not only stay in the addiction but also glorify it and get more young people into it, needs to be called out. Because: ok, you have a problem, but why glorify it and bring more people into it by making it look "cool" when you KNOW how much suffering it's causing you and your loved ones? Also, in the video and the song he plays TWO characters battling one another. The "King" is his more ambitious/power-hungry side. The peasant is his true self, that was silenced and tied sometimes, but in the end, overcame and killed/put under control that "bad" side of him.
Also if you’re interested in good lyric translations the site doolset bangtan has all their works, solo mixtapes too :) She keeps it simple without commentary but adds needed context for Korean cultural references too
Both a call out and a wake up call, I should think. Considering so many rappers shat all over BTS and their rap lineup of RM, Suga and JHope (especially the first 2). RM and AGUST D (Suga) have both come hard in their solo work about the haters who told them they couldn't be rappers because they were kpop, wore makeup and are pretty.
Dech-i-ta = Daechwita is music played by guards/military as they march or 'walk' the King out of his palace. AgustD aka Suga is the only rapper here. Also not 'cowbells', what is unfamiliar to you are Korean traditional music instruments. Ruthless King and a servant/slave (true event) ancient story. The lyrics have nothing in common with the MV. Agust D is always spitting bullets at society and others (both Korean), who have been kicking dirt at him. Popping pills is not generalized to all rappers and hip hop. He would not criticize other societies/cultures. He is going after KHipHop entertainers.
Oh, if you ever listen to any BTS song again PLEASE let it be the Cyphers. Outro: Tear, too. They're some of the rapline's best works, and I just know you'd like them too!
It's the same guy but just with another outfit. I think you should react to bts dionysus live performance. It would be sooo cool! Or to react to who is bts for you to know about them and learn their names! I live your videos! 👍❤️💜
daechwita is a type of traditional military style korean music that’s played while marching. Pretty sure it was also played when the king would go marching into town with all of his 103792 servants on 10489284 horses and military haha So the chorus? Is sort of implying ya daechwita play it loud cuz I’m the king and I’m coming. And he sampled that music into the track (mostly in the beginning and the chorus with the bagpipe sounding instrument)
Fun fact there was a rumor going around that Suga/AGUST D was going to collab with logic for either this new mixtape (d-2) or logic’s album bc they took a photo together in logics studio and it seemed like they were working on something together. This however was before quarantine and suga:/AGUST D said a lot of planned collabs didn’t end up working out bc of quarantine. Honestly I think you’ll enjoy AGUST D’s mixtape, it’s called D-2. It’s really personal and kinda gives you an in into his thoughts and emotions about various issues. You can find lyric translations on genius, I think they do a decent job. But for the most reliable translarons I’d suggest the website doolset lyrics. If u just google doolset d-2, the lyrics for all the songs should come up. I wouldn’t trust lyric vids Also you don’t have to do a reaction to the album. I’m just recommending this bc I just think you’ll enjoy and get something out of it :) But if you do react to it or some of it, pretty sure army will enjoy the hell out of it lol Anyways I like ur channel!
They are the same people :D Daechwita = traditional Korean music played when a king or an army enters a village He is talking about stereotypes that a person low in social status cannot become a king but he has, you can link this to BTS and the discrimination they faced when they debuted because of stereotypes that groups from small companies wont get anywhere. You can further link this to breaking stereotypes through the rebellion of the people against their king, in the beginning we see rows of people bowing down to their King, who obviously mistreats ( A. he stood on some of them. B. in the scene where people are lined up to be beheaded you can see an instrument - i don't know the proper name- that was used when the people wanted to make a complaint or judgement to the way the king ruled, therefore leaving us to assume their king was killing those who suggested change) these people later head-bang with lower class Suga, showing they've joined him in rebellion.
Hey I'm gonna keep watching but you paused so I did too ;) Just wanted to say I prefer if you do the opposite and have the video you are watching in a smaller window because this way that your doing it here mean you block part of the vid and subtitles. Just move to the side and make it as big as you can within the space next to you that will be perfect. :)
I made a separate comment for this, but I think the “pill-popper” line is more a call out to Korean Hip Hop artists rather than a call out to hip hop rappers in general. Some rappers in the KHH scene have received a lot of criticism by trying to emulate all the negative sides of american hip hop culture in their goal of becoming “true hip hop”. Like rapping in english, thinking rapping fast is good rapping, and even mumble rapping. One of the heavier criticized acts has been the drug addiction. We know that drug addiction has been a badly painted side of american rappers, and has nothing to do with what being a good rapper actually is, but these khh rappers still purposely do drugs to try and be better rappers. So Yoongi is not calling out the addicts or the addiction itself, but rather the “copying” or the belief that drug-addiction is a part of hh culture, as that is actually very disrespectful.
We can’t know for sure, because Yoongi himself said he made very blanket statements for a reason, which is “if you think I’m talking about you, then that’s your problem.”
This!!
Another really great insight and this is the one I thought that the song led with. Some people are saying it's about him and how he has avoided becoming that stereotypical Hip-Hop person but I still think there's a bigger message being sent to hip hop as a whole.
Yeah.even when this song relese have many conflict with a few people in kpop industry..
Suga did a verry good job actualy..
@@AltSpace I'm kinda with you on this. I took it as a criticism of the glorification of drug use and even abuse* (like molly, cocaine and prescription drugs etc) that's prevalent in hiphop culture today. Not really "attacking" people/artists who struggle with addiction, kinda like you said. Like it's about the phenomena not necessarily the individuals.. It's about the drug "aesthetic" to me.
I base this somewhat on that Yoongi (Suga) is (or seems, idk him personally lol) a sympathetic person and I highly doubt that he would be so insensitive/mean as to shit on anyone for having problems with/suffering from substance abuse.
I use / a lot because English isn't my first language and it's hard to choose words to express myself sometimes. Hope it's not too disorienting/confusing!
Edit: * I say use and abuse because they hold different meanings.
Both are are Suga ‘Agust D’; He’s just dressed as both character perspectives. Love the reaction.
King Suga is the old Agust D, back when he released his first mix tape, hence the older setting, older clothes etc and the scar on his face being fresh. Back then he wanted the fame and the money and he has admitted he was fuelled a lot by anger. The black haired Suga is today's Agust D, hence the car, new clothes, watch etc and the scar now being old. Today's Agust D now has all those things, he's not only reached where he wanted to be but he has surpassed it. And in doing so he has realised that all those things aren't really what's important in life, hence him talking about wanting to just put his feet on the ground and experience some normality. This whole scenario is him facing his old self and putting (or trying to, Suga said himself he's not sure whether old Agust D is completely gone) an end to him, saying he's not that person anymore. It's a statement saying "The old Agust D is gone, but I'm still here, just with different goals and priorities."
Couldn't have said it better myself💜
I thought about it backwards. He started off with nothing and now he's like a king and has everything but in the end he makes sure to let us know that he is still himself not letting being successful envelope him or change him. It's cool to see different interpretations.
Fun fact: all BTS's mixtapes and more are available for free on Soundcloud.
"Daechwita" is the music that is played in Korea when the king went on a walk or when the army marched. It's basically announcing the King has arrived. He also said he chose it because it fitted well with ARMY (BTS's fans) too. He sampled the music of "Daechwita".
It's both Agust D in the video! It actually represents the "ego king" and "rebel slave" in the MV. It's also not about someone else that is famous.
It's about the conflict within himself as he's someone who has achieved worldwide fame and struggles with wanting to keep his feet on the ground and having to carry the celebrity image. In the end of the video the "slave" shoots at the "king", showing he wants to get rid of that ego side. He said that he on purpose didn't show if the king got hit or not in the end. This is just the concept of the MV though, the lyrics don't exactly follow this and go into other things he wanted to say.
Also the fact that he is bragging is very rare to see in real life or any BTS content, they very much so deserve to brag with everything they have achieved by now, but they still keep humble and down to earth. I don't think you realize how succesful BTS is, both as solo and group artists and how hard they have worked for it. You should watch "from Nobodies to Legends" or the "BTS Crash Course 2020".
I also highly recommend you check out Agust D's full mixtape D-2 on your own to better grasp his mindset in this song. He has another song "Dear My Friend" on the mixtape that goes into his childhood friend that got lost in drugs, probably partly why he's so intolerant. The reason it's called D-2 is because it's his second mixtape. I would recommend the song "The Last" from his first mixtape (called just Agust D) where he really goes deep into his depression, social anxiety and more struggles.
I agree about the recommendation to watch nobodies to legends and bts crash course 2020. 😁
He also talked about mumble rap and RM called out mumble rap in his solo song Joke... could be interesting for him too.
You army stunner!
Well said, well explained
BRAVO!
💜YOU!
I appreciate the way you explained everything clearly
It’s all Agust D in this song. He’s better known as Suga from BTS but is frequently called Yoongi, which is his real name. Suga does flow changes in a song is so creative and he does it so smoothly.
When asked who the song was about he basically said “if the shoe fits....”.
Basically, He doesn’t need to be high to do what he does. He’s saying he doesn’t think that they need it either. Also, a little background info, one of his best friends from childhood, and into adulthood, went to jail for something to do with substance abuse. Check out his song “Dear My Friend” on his mixtape D-2. The whole mixtape is worth a listen, it’s self produced and VERY good.
Wow, his story sounds deep! I'm gonna check out those mixtapes for sure
@@AltSpace i was told that this site was (probably) the best in translating BTS lyrics. forget the color coded on YT. doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/
this is for Dear My Friend = doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2020/05/22/dear-my-friend-feat-jw-of-nell/
@@am_4694 TY for the translation site tip! I'm newer to this and have noticed that some 'English lyrics' sites (for song lyrics) don't always seem to include sine of the actual words.... when i looked up word for word in a translator> Also same when able to see commentators translations. Looking forward to giving wordpress a go.
@@karenhummel465 yw. Some languages use lots of euphemism. East asians are prone to that. I'm trying to learn mandarin and at a glance Korean and Japanese are also like that. Native translator is best since they know the context
"Is this the same guy" Yeah that's the same guy 😂😂 you're fine bro. Also, I really like all the insight u provide on hip hop culture. learning a lot of things here! Also u could check out the explained vid by dkdktv later for more on the lyrics and their meaning. there's a lot of history behind some of it!! great vid !! ((EDIT)) Daechwita is Korean traditional marching music reserved for kings and the military if I recall--the explained video goes more in depth 👍👍
Someone already gave a great explanation on the pill 💊 popper lyric. However, I will add that Yoongi is just saying his NOT a weak pill popper-he doesn’t have to do that. So, rather than a call out -it’s more of a general statement about his success. He has often said to whomever needs to hear it “your failures are not related to my success”. BTS is all about accountability of one’s self.
My take on this song is that it's a bit of a sequel to the song Interlude: Shadow where Suga says "I wanna be a rap star, I wanna be the top, I wanna be a rockstar, I want it all mine, I wanna be rich, I wanna be the king." Well now he is the king and he's bragging a bit about that. But to me the real key to the song comes during the flow switch where is says "I got everything I wanted, what more'll make me feel contented, I wanted clothes clothes, then money money, then goal goal now what's next, Yeah what's next, here comes my reality check there's nowhere higher".
Also, both roles are played by Suga in the video. So in a way you can view the "King" Suga as the (false) pinnacle he desired in the past, and "Street" Suga as killing his own prior mistakes.
Also, love your videos. Your insight into broader hip hop culture really makes them worthwhile.
I also see a link with some songs of his previous mixtape, for instance in "the last" when he says that he feels that greed could turn him into a monster. I think "King Suga" here might be some sort of manifestation of that "monster" he's afraid to become. And in the end he kills that monster , tus it's all ok, he finally put this side of him under control
8:30 he is the same guy it's just another style. The king and the normal citizen are both min yoongi who is agust d (suga)
Oh snap, that's dope 👀👀👀
Hey! Both the black haired guy and the blonde haired guy were the same guy playing different "characters" so yes they are both Min Yoongi (birth name) AKA Suga (BTS stage name) AKA Agust D (solo project alias)
He's had his battles with depression and talks about it in his first mixtape. The song is called The Last. you should listen to that, it is awesome.
He's not speaking to anyone else's experience or feigning to be "their voice". He is HIS OWN voice directly pertaining to his own experiences and the people he has avoided or juked becoming. He could've easily fallen into the "other path". This song is about his own strength in finding his path and feeling grateful that he didn't go another way. He could've EASILY become that but he wants to share his Strong Mental Attitude that has nothing to do with anyone else.
Wow, that's a really interesting perspective/ insight on the song. Finding out stuff like that just makes me appreciate the art.
@@AltSpace I want to add something he said that strengthens what has been said above which is something along the lines of " I've written the songs of this mixtape about and to myself, it's a message as well as a representation of the 28-year-old Agust D"
Ok but let's talk about Born Singer- YT blocked and it makes me want to watch it more. Where? How? Do you have Patreon? Ill sign up i literally need to watch it.
Daechwita is a traditional Korean military song... check out the history of behind it and you'll realize how he put so much historical moments and pain into it. Every little detail will leave you shook because he is a musical genius 🙂
I feel like you already know what your comments are about to be flooded with. DKDKTV made an "Explained by a Korean" video on Daechwita(pronounced: day-chu-weh-ta), filled to the brim with Korean history and references to tales centuries ago to now. Also, pre-warning. In less than a week, BTS is dropping a retro English single called Dynamite so be prepared for a flood of those requests as well. August 21, mark your calendar.
Haha, yeah I'm going to definitely react to DKDK. They break down things so well! And finally I think I can pronounce it now 😂
@@AltSpace yeah I hope you reacted to it! Love your reaction😍
Yoongi in Shadow : I wanna be the king
Agust D in Daechwita : I am King
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Actually Suga/Agustd did start from the bottom he was poor back then and could barely afford food or a bus ride. People used to rip his off from his music so he made no money. This also talks about how successful Agust d has became but this is about him getting rid of his arrogant side saying no matter how much money/fame I make I will still remain humble. This song has many meanings to it there is an explanation video if you want to watch it.
5:22 lmao look at those heads hanging while he’s dancing 😂 he killed the haters
I would fully recommend you to watch “BTS from nobodies to Legends 2019” so you really can understand what motivates BTS with their music. Please also react to cyphers
t’s funny because Min Yoongi said that Daechwita was the last song of his mixtape so imagine how many other bomps that mixtape has. Also Yoongi said that daechwita is for BTS and Army since he’s the king and we are the army 😍
Suga(Agust D) knows first hand what depression is. He's saying he doesn't need it to be good.
Really appreciate your detailed analysis! A great great video is also "Who is BTS: The Seven Members of Bangtan."
You see the backstory on why they are so loved and how they overcame so so much
XCELESTE made a new intro video. It's updated and might be better to recommend
ua-cam.com/video/3cESARetI9U/v-deo.html
@@mishka0613 I second both these recommendations
LOVE that you saw this as development and not materialistic. Thank you. 💜💞
Daechwita is a traditional Korean musical genre. Highly recommend watching DKDKTV’s video “Agust D - Daechwita Explained By a Korean” video. Goes into some of the historical and cultural references. Pretty deep stuff.
Yeah basically at the end he killed the "successful famous rich" version of himself which has a connection to his first release under AgustD, the mixtape called AgustD (its title track is also called AgustD lol)
Btw, AgustD is DT Suga spelled backwards, DT stands for Daegu Town (his home town) and Suga is his artistic name under BTS :)
Best to believe this is 100% pure Korean. The instruments, the history of the lyrics and the sets and clothes. If your interested, there is an explained video of this song " Daechwita explained."
Just so you know, We have a picture of Suga/Agust D (Yoongi is his real name lol) with Logic in Logic's studio from the last time they were in LA. Since both of them have now put out their projects for the year and we still haven't seen a collaboration between them, we're all still kind of holding our breath wondering what exactly they were working on.....
Yoongi said that one of the collaborations that he had on his mix-tape, didnt work out cause the other had personal stuff. I have allways thought that might have been Logic. But no one knows...
I play it out loud like Agust D says while driving. This is such a head banger song. Great reaction.
Chuckle....😂 I Loved watching you trying to figure this one out!!...Loved it!!!😂😂😂
I am so happy to see that you put the mv as the big screen and you on the small screen as the mv is playing. This way we can read the lyrics. Thank you for thinking about us.
Blond haired king Suga is the same guy as black haired modern day Suga. The story in the MV is modern Suga overthrowing the mad king who represents Suga's past self. If you watch closely, you will see Suga make a deal in the marketplace with the butcher. The butcher is also the executioner, so instead of killing Suga, he smuggles in a gun to help overthrow the mad king.
Daechwita is traditional Korean music played when the king or the army is in procession. So I think the best translation for this song would be something like "the king is here". Suga used real Daechwita music in the production of this song, and you can hear it especially at the beginning of the track.
FYI, Agust D = Suga = Min Yoongi, and he is a member of BTS. He uses the Agust D name for his solo music which he produces himself. Suga is his stage name as a member of BTS. He is often credited as one of the producers and/or writers on BTS songs. He has also produced songs for other Korean artists, such as "Eight" with IU, "So Far Away" with Suran, and "Song Request" with Lee Sora".
Both Suga and RM of BTS were prominent underground rappers in Korea. They were derided by some fellow rappers when they signed onto an "idol" group saying that the two had been on the right path but succumbed to temptation by doing so. These rappers told them that they were basically performing as girls since idols wore make-up on stage. So some parts are responses to particular people. However the main message is as you said, he's climbed so high but wants to keep his feet on the ground. The blonde Agust D is based on a real historical figure who became paranoid and power mad. The dark haired Agust D conspires with the butcher from the beginning of the MV, who is also the executioner, to rebel and kill the king. Suga is in effect killing off any shadow urges to keep his ego in check and feet on the ground. BTW the fellow with the fishing pole and the guy with whom he fights are members of BTS, JIN and Jungkook. Supposedly the girl that's holding the box that holds the jade car key represents the fan base ARMY. Also the framed saying above Suga's head in this scene is from Confucius and means "the classical scholar doesn't value treasure".
Suga actually struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts and made an album touching on those subjects and it’s very sad but you see how he’s grown and it’s amazing
Great to see another reaction from you! Welcome back! As I understand it, "Daechwita" is a type of traditional Korean music that is played when an army starts marching, or to announce the arrival of the king. Also there's only one rapper in this - it's Suga/AgustD the whole time. He plays both the tyrannical king with blonde hair and the peasant/street kid with the black hair. Both have a scar across their right eye, to show they are connected (I believe). My own interpretation of the video is that the king Suga represents the famous, successful, possibly greedy side of him (or what he could potentially be if he let his greed and fame go to his head) - he has reached the top and beheads anyone who displeases him. The peasant Suga represents the side of him that wants to be grounded in reality and stay grateful and humble (as much as Suga flexes in this song, I think the line "I only looked up and now I want to look down and put my feet on the ground" is the most important one in the song, that's just my opinion, though!). That's why peasant Suga kills king Suga at the end - he's metaphorically putting an end to that side of himself (or potential side). DKDKTV did a theory video on this one, too, which has some good ideas and explanations. Sorry for the long comment! Hope it all made sense. XD
Suga aka Agust D👑 is a well known producer and songwriter in south korea, he even won a award. Suga released their second mixtape 'D-2' and his songs quickly positioned in the most important places of music chats worldwide .
Suga has become the first South Korean solo artist to enter both the Billboard album and single charts at the same time, following the release of the "mixtape" "D-2" with his title track "Daechwita" . Inspired by traditional Korean music used for the military march and royal parade, "Daechwita" combines the sound of traditional Korean wind and percussion instruments with the hiphop musical sub-genre "trap".
Agust D 2, Suga's second mixtape has received a lot of support from fans and his music has positioned himself in the best places on the music charts, breaking several records. Suga's second solo record material, 'D-2' is in seventh place on the official album chart in the UK, the country's music list is considered one of the most important in the world. Suga has become the first South Korean soloist to have record material on the UK music chart and place his work in such an important position on the chart. Suga is one of the most influential Korean producers and musicians in the music industry. entertainment, thanks to the talent of the rapper from the company Big Hit, many artists seek to collaborate with him.
this artist has dealt with depression and social anxiety. with that being said, he's absolutely not mocking it. he's made several songs touching this topic and about mental awareness. :) it's about him... he's reached that level of success. he plays two roles though... also him... an internal conflict. and it's resolved at the end... you know, the "king" getting shot. daechwita is the background music that's being played when the king in the korean dynasty is about to go out and do a "march." it signifies the entrance of the king.
Daechwita (literally "great blowing and hitting") is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching or when the king is walking......something like that
Welcome back! I’m really liking your reactions!!! When Yoongi (Agust D) talked about Daechwita, he said he made this song to be more of an auditory-pleasing song rather than hold much meaning. The MV follows a story line connected to his past MV, but there isn’t much depth to the song outside of that. However, the album itself D-2, is my second favorite album of 2020 so far. Even if you don’t react to it, I would love for you to listen to it, as Yoongi as always been a storyteller and you seem like the type of person who enjoys that. In D-2, Yoongi opens up and shares his fears, dreams, feelings, and thoughts about making it so big and though the album struck me as very nostalgic, sad, and lonely, it’s also extremely comforting, raw, and emotional. Trust me, it’s an experience. If you do want to delve deeper and listen to the album, I would recommend staying far away from the lyric videos here on yt as they have horrible translations and instead share this site, a translation page by a fellow ARMY: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/d-2/
Still watching....it's the same guy playing two different versions of himself
"I always set traps in my music. You know how you set traps to catch cockroaches? They always come and die in the trap. The songs “Daechwita” and “What Do You Think?” are my traps. I guess those people just never learn. They always come and step on my traps. They should have learned something by now but they always seem to step in the traps still. I just laugh when I see that." - Min Yoongi aka SUGA aka Agust D
That's so dope and very strategic 🔥
There is no turning down.. only TURNING IT UP TO TURN UP!
I don’t know if this comment will be seen because I’m super late lol. But Daechwita is a traditional Korean type of music that is typically played when a king arrives or at the coronation of a NEW KING.
All in all Min Yoongi (aka Suga, aka Agust D) is saying. I HAVE ARRIVED.
It’s really cool that he not only used influences from the traditional Korean sound but references the sound’s history while making it clear he is in his bagggggggg.
🤯🤯🤯
Really enjoyed this reaction and hearing your thoughts about it all.
daechwita is a kings march. it’s the music they play when the king is coming.
I wish he can perform live on MMA & MAMA 2020
React to Cypher 1,2,3 and 4, from the BTS rap line. They respond to haters who suffer. Simply, sensational!
Ahhh, react to outro: tear too
Welcome back! As always, I’m enjoying your perspective. I definitely recommend checking out Suga’s most recent mixtape, D-2, from which Daechwita was a single. The entire thing is masterful, so even if you don’t react to it, it’s worth a listen. Also, to get a better idea of his headspace and what he was rapping about during the flow change, check out Interlude: Shadow.
I was gonna comment this also. But now I will throw good lyrics videos under your comment to songs on his mix-tape. Hope that he will check them out 💜

There is an explanation video from DKDKTV
I recommend you to watch BTS Interlude: Shadow (there is the short version of the song in the video, the full length version is in the Map of the soul: 7 album). It's Suga's solo where he speaks that he wanted to become big but he hasn't known how hard it is to be famous (especially to him cause we know he is an introvert). There are two Sugas in the video - him and his shadow (his fears). This song is part of BTS's albums era Map of the Soul based on psychologist Carl Jung's Map of the Soul. According to Jung, "the Shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge."
As the other ARMYs has already said, you should become familiar with the guys' personalities and background cause their experience, thoughts, fears definitely reflects in their music. Once you know the songs hit differently.
Who is BTS?: The Seven Members of Bangtan is a good introduction (though it's a little bit outdated) along with BTS From Nobodies to Legends and BTS' Contribution to Music.
Thank you for the reaction.
I would really love to see you react to the rest of his mix tape D-2! It’s a masterpiece, really worth a listen. This is the only song with a MV but would still love a reaction. If not you should check it out on your own time :)
There was one person in this video. He acted two roles. Watch the explanation from DKDKTV
Agust D (Suga) plays both roles, the evil emperor and the pheasant.
yep theyre both the same people but hes playing two characters
DKDKTV also has an explanation video for this MV... I'd recommend watching that...
This song has a lot of smart wordplay and cultural references...
Just letting you know that DKDKTV also did an explained video for this song that talks a lot about the (honestly as we know with BTS) crazy amount of references he uses in this song. Hopefully, you check out his whole album as the whole mixtape is such a full, dynamic, reflective project. It's basically him wrapped up in an album, his music is always really personal to who he is.
Im so happy your back I havent seen a very insightful reaction to this in awhile and its refreshing I have seen some of the comments has already explained the aspect of what the song pertains to.. You can also watch the DKDKTV explanation if you want...
I hope you check out his whole mixtape I honestly love ~Strange~ that track is just something else .Makes us realize how much we dismiss the existence of capitilism and polarization of our society
Thank you so much for watching and for your suggestion of the mixtape, trying to hunt for more stuff like this. Take care ❤️
@@AltSpace you can check them out as they release their mixtapes on soundcloud for free ... Though i distrust how good are the translations on lyric videos you can check out his tracks there. Honestly love for you to react to each member

@@AltSpace Please don't watch the DKDKTV'S explanation. I love their explanations but they just didn't do a good job explaining this one.
Xceleste has a very good explanation vide
Sorry Bookish Theories not Xceleste
About the “pill popper” line I think he’s calling out K HipHop for trying to distort the culture because actual HipHop cover drugs and other vices because it is a part the writer’s life as contrast to these “rappers” in Korea who do vices to make it seem like they’re HipHop. Why he’s taking shots at this is because BTS got a LOT of crap, him and RM especially, from the K HipHop community for debuting in a Kpop idol group and discriminating their work saying that that’s not HipHop and just “rap” just cuz they’re a part of an idol group.
Thanks for your comment! What's an idol group? I'm still learning lool
AltSpace “idol groups” are what Koreans call kpop groups, the Korean equivalent of “boy/girl bands” or “boy/girl groups”. In context regarding the hate and usual preconceived notions, I think there’s a general stereotype with regards to Boy Groups and Girl Groups around the world, or to those who’re looking in, that it’s just a “teen girl” thing. Some of it’s understandable considering that not a lot of pop groups have creative control, this is especially true for kpop group. They’re packaged in a very groomed, aesthetically pleasing act. Very few groups have creative freedom, and BigHit, BTS’ company gives them that. However, in the beginning they didn’t have that much support especially from the the KHipHop scene in spite the bulk of their songs as a group fall under HipHop.
Just a small detail i heard about, at the beginning when suga's walking in the market place he gestures, and they show a clip, of a butcher, the same one at the end who helps in kill his other persona.
I love that you use big words... 💖
It is the same guy as the King! Both the King & the village commoner in the car is the same person - Suga aka Agust D aka Min Yoongi. There’s nobody featured in this song. It’s all him.
you are so nice 😊 i love your reaction! and yes, the blonde and black haired guy are both agust d/same guy 😊
Thank you for your kind comment! I realised that when I watched it a second time around
Great to have you back! Hope you enjoyed your trip. I see other ARMYs have answered your questions so I’ll leave there. Borahae!💜
Thank you! I really appreciate you watching, feel free to answer any of my other questions ❤️

There is a explanation behind the lyrics
The blond haired "king" and the black haired "commoner" are the same person! They're both Agust D (/Suga).
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts and insights on the song. Hearing new perspectives is so cool.
SUGA grandma used to be a queen so he’s going to be probably king any soon💜💜 people love to hate on BTS and SUGA I hope ARMY’S knows💜
Both guys are SUGA, it's okay if you got confused. He's just playing as two different "Agust D"s. Because in his latest MV, he's blonde. Now he's black haired
And yeahh, Suga mentioned this is supposed to be pleasant to ears and eyes, the mv is so entertaining and the beat is sick! 🔥
Also, pls if you could check out 'Intro: Singularity' by BTS, it would be awesome!
BTS will release a new FULL ENGLISH single this Friday, 21 august!!!!!! You should check it out the day it comes out!!!
Correct analysis: his emperor persona has risen up to the top. But he's also, if you notice, at odds with his still extant peasant persona. Hence... dynamic tension and this raps exposition.
I think you may be interested in reacting to sugas (agust d) song "the last" from his first mixtape. In it he talks about struggles he has and things like depression and social anxiety. Thanks for the reaction, I think you did well. Also thre is a point in the video where the bts members jin and jungkook make an appearance in the background while suga is walking through the marketplace if you want to look for that, I find it very humourous
yup.. i knew it u gonna love him more and more.. we love all the member bts but min yoongi /aka suga as in bts aka agust d is my bias, as his mixtape mostly open about his deep feeling..
It is fun to watch your reaction.. am enjoying it....
Its difficult to pay attention to mv, flow rap and lyrics but its a must due their song have really deep meaning which thats makes bts different from others grup, they alwayas have positive message..
Well 3 rapper line in bts are all amaizing..
Dont forget to watch their concert live performance chypher pt1-pt4 series , this live perfomance just wow. 🤩crazy LIT!
JHOPE, flow god, a free happy hip hop soul rapper
RM, word play genius, intellect rapper
SUGA, tongue technology, savage, strong, fierce and splits a fire,bold, some said rapper god in his unique way😉😎
Hmm.. Min Yoongi AKA AGUST D said, he like making an releasing music.. Wow... And we all did enjoy his music..

Well am enjoying watch your reaction and keep pausing thats mean you are reaction anyway this is video reaction rayt? 😉😁 Anyway.. you should hear the whole mixtape songs are a roller coaster "beat" and emotionally!
Well.. He love MIDI since he was very young age..His mixtape album here where he can pour all his works, he is the song writer, the rapper/singer(u will hear he sings especially at "interlude, set me free", peoplle, moonlight,) well you should hear the all track and the lyrics is deep and suga produce all the songs in his mixtape with the beat each track and choose with whom he want to work with.. .

Logic and Suga are collaborating with a new song...stay tuned for this.
You should really listen to whole D-2 mixtape. Seriously, it's a masterpiece and he really told his story in it. It still gives me goosebumps till this day every time I listened to it.
You're not entirely wrong. Suga comes from a family who had very little money and he started from litteraly nothing. He tried to sell his demos to people on the street and sometimes he had to choose to either buy food for himself or a busticket to get home. That was before he was recruited to BTS.
I recommend for you DKDKTV explaining Daechwita MV.
lmao its the same dude!! he plays 2 characters that represent himself. The mad king (his past-self) and his current self finally facing himself while the lyrics are a diss to haters and modern 'artists' in music today how its all based around the mindset of drugs, money, and women. The song goes realll in depth like all of BTS' other songs (this is a rapper from the group). if you want you can check out this song explained by a korean and he breaks down the meaning of every lyric and the symbolism in the MV!
Okay Agust D backwards is Daegu Town Suga, so yeah its BTS Suga and where he is from.
Suga had been in the past in a troubled mental state, and he did not go to drugs to overcome it (he has been diagnosed with social phobia, anxiety, and Depression). He also had a friend that went to jail bc of drugs and the very moment the dude got out, and Suga tried to go close to him again, the guy offered him drugs. Again. But also, those rappers that use excuses to not only stay in the addiction but also glorify it and get more young people into it, needs to be called out. Because: ok, you have a problem, but why glorify it and bring more people into it by making it look "cool" when you KNOW how much suffering it's causing you and your loved ones?
Also, in the video and the song he plays TWO characters battling one another. The "King" is his more ambitious/power-hungry side. The peasant is his true self, that was silenced and tied sometimes, but in the end, overcame and killed/put under control that "bad" side of him.
Also if you’re interested in good lyric translations the site doolset bangtan has all their works, solo mixtapes too :) She keeps it simple without commentary but adds needed context for Korean cultural references too
Hi, I love your reactions
Can you react to Outro:Tear live performance? Please!!
In response to the beginning, I absolutely LOVED Logic's new album
I feel like that part in Soul Food II where the beat switches up and he starts rapping an entire space odyssey was my favorite
Suga confusing everyone with that blonde wig 😂
After 90 minutes BTS Dynamite MV will drop. All ARMYs waiting right now. Please check out.
I will for sure, I saw it had like 33 million views in 30 mins 😮😮😮
Welcome back... ! 💜
They are the same person, you were right.👌
Both a call out and a wake up call, I should think.
Considering so many rappers shat all over BTS and their rap lineup of RM, Suga and JHope (especially the first 2).
RM and AGUST D (Suga) have both come hard in their solo work about the haters who told them they couldn't be rappers because they were kpop, wore makeup and are pretty.
They’re the same person lol. Both Suga/Agust D/Min Yoongi. Thanks for your reaction.
Haha I realised that after watching a second time around 😂
Dech-i-ta = Daechwita is music played by guards/military as they march or 'walk' the King out of his palace. AgustD aka Suga is the only rapper here. Also not 'cowbells', what is unfamiliar to you are Korean traditional music instruments. Ruthless King and a servant/slave (true event) ancient story. The lyrics have nothing in common with the MV. Agust D is always spitting bullets at society and others (both Korean), who have been kicking dirt at him. Popping pills is not generalized to all rappers and hip hop. He would not criticize other societies/cultures. He is going after KHipHop entertainers.
Oh, if you ever listen to any BTS song again PLEASE let it be the Cyphers. Outro: Tear, too. They're some of the rapline's best works, and I just know you'd like them too!
Dude where you been...been waiting for a new reaction
I Waiting to see your react to BTS (Rapline) Cypher 1,2,3 and 4
Highly recommend DKDKTV explanation
Can you react or review to lyrics video of Born Singer?
Min yoongi
Sweet side : Suga
Raw side: Agust_d
Suga ❤️💜
It's the same guy but just with another outfit. I think you should react to bts dionysus live performance. It would be sooo cool! Or to react to who is bts for you to know about them and learn their names! I live your videos! 👍❤️💜
daechwita is a type of traditional military style korean music that’s played while marching. Pretty sure it was also played when the king would go marching into town with all of his 103792 servants on 10489284 horses and military haha
So the chorus? Is sort of implying ya daechwita play it loud cuz I’m the king and I’m coming.
And he sampled that music into the track (mostly in the beginning and the chorus with the bagpipe sounding instrument)
Please watch the explanation of this song by Bookish Theories. It will really answer all your questions.
Thank you!
Fun fact there was a rumor going around that Suga/AGUST D was going to collab with logic for either this new mixtape (d-2) or logic’s album bc they took a photo together in logics studio and it seemed like they were working on something together. This however was before quarantine and suga:/AGUST D said a lot of planned collabs didn’t end up working out bc of quarantine.
Honestly I think you’ll enjoy AGUST D’s mixtape, it’s called D-2. It’s really personal and kinda gives you an in into his thoughts and emotions about various issues. You can find lyric translations on genius, I think they do a decent job. But for the most reliable translarons I’d suggest the website doolset lyrics. If u just google doolset d-2, the lyrics for all the songs should come up.
I wouldn’t trust lyric vids
Also you don’t have to do a reaction to the album. I’m just recommending this bc I just think you’ll enjoy and get something out of it :)
But if you do react to it or some of it, pretty sure army will enjoy the hell out of it lol
Anyways I like ur channel!
They are the same people :D Daechwita = traditional Korean music played when a king or an army enters a village
He is talking about stereotypes that a person low in social status cannot become a king but he has, you can link this to BTS and the discrimination they faced when they debuted because of stereotypes that groups from small companies wont get anywhere. You can further link this to breaking stereotypes through the rebellion of the people against their king, in the beginning we see rows of people bowing down to their King, who obviously mistreats ( A. he stood on some of them. B. in the scene where people are lined up to be beheaded you can see an instrument - i don't know the proper name- that was used when the people wanted to make a complaint or judgement to the way the king ruled, therefore leaving us to assume their king was killing those who suggested change) these people later head-bang with lower class Suga, showing they've joined him in rebellion.
Hey I'm gonna keep watching but you paused so I did too ;) Just wanted to say I prefer if you do the opposite and have the video you are watching in a smaller window because this way that your doing it here mean you block part of the vid and subtitles.
Just move to the side and make it as big as you can within the space next to you that will be perfect. :)
Pls also REACT ALSO TO HIS OTHER MV -- Bts SHADOW & AGUST D
