Daechwita was the traditional music played to let people know when the King or the royal military was coming through. Yoongi has said that the King represents his past self, the greedy selfish part of who he used to be, and the peasant is his more humble present self. Also, the butcher in the beginning is also the executioner; their look exchanged at the beginning was them plotting the betrayal and execution of the King. Also... it was Jin AND Jungkook in the fist fight behind Suga in the market. The antique gun he used to shoot the King.... is legitimately called Army. :)
@@bangtanlove6811 You're welcome. :) I learned that the gun was called Army from a couple different Korean Reactors... I'm trusting their knowledge. Also... there is a great behind the scenes making of and interview with Suga where he explains aspects of the video.
in a bangtan bomb interview, yoongi actually said that the concept for the mv was supposed to be simpler, but he walked into that meeting room and said "nah. let's make a whole ass movie." lmfao 💀 just kidding, that's not the actual words but you know what im saying SO, YES, YOONGI WAS THE BRILLIANT MIND BEHIND THE ICONIC DAECHWITA MV.
No CGIs/green screen.. u gotta check out the “shooting sketch” there’s an interview of Suga.. (the making of MV/music/beats/lyrics.. etc) and the “behind the scene” Yes, he sat at a table with the production team 😁 they discuss even the tiny details; what kind of sword Yoongi wanted to use. He chose hwando and the gun is named ARMY
Basically correct but the film setting currently is surrounded by modern urban trappings which had to be removed from the shot to create an authentic period atmosphere, so yes the location, props, and actions were all real but due to the march of modernity creating a mountainous background did require a bit of manipulation.
*SUGA NOT ONLY DID LYRICS,PRODUCTION BUT IT HIS STORY IDEA, EVEN THE SCAR. THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SIMPLE BUT HE SAID HE WANTED TO DO IT LIKE THIS,HE EVEN CHOSE THE SWORD. SO YOONGI IS A MASTERMINDDDD DYLANNN*
yes great fun to watch that and other docs on BTS’s backstory. as stated above, Suga’s solo rapper name is August D. people who appreciate him as an artist usually do so even more after learning his background story, and that he is a prolific song writer and music producer, within BTS and outside of BTS too. he won a prestigious award for this. BTS as a group have won many awards. i hope you see and appreciate the other wrappers, formally, RM (a writer and producer too) and J Hope (originally a competitive dancer, now also choreographer for BTS. Jungkook is known as super well rounded-a singer, dancer, and supporting rapper. Jimin, too. V sings, acts, and is now part of the dance line. finally, the group wouldn’t be complete without Jin, who adds so much, particularly singing, though he underplays his other contributions, such as being a big brother, cook, and one of the visual focus members (he has made this into a running joke). did i need to write all this lol? ofc not but it started by me agreeing that watching docs about BTS’s past (there’s even some good fan made ones) i guarantee will make you appreciate how far they’ve come and how damn word they work. especially suga/august d’s journey. i’ve seen it happen to many youtube reactors, who do watch such docs, as well as behind the scenes, and live performances (especially the 2019 MMA awards show!!! just mind blowing…and they won 4 of the top awards too!). doubt it possible? don’t. bet you’ll be a hard core fan (called ARMY) the more MVs, performances, and bounty of other content they have. before you know it, each member’s unique personality and talent, how they all came together as a whole, and their unparalleled enthusiasm and humility will amaze you
Suga even trained for the sword scene .. and the fact that this is his individual project with this kind of production level is amazing. not just anyone can film where they filmed this.
Suga did said the mv is his idea. I think it supposed to be simpler, but suga wanted for higher budget n shoot at that palace. Even the countdown for his mixtape is his idea. He loves complicated, mystery movies like inception so not a surprise to see this mv has very good n intriguing storyline.
Yoongi aka suga is indeed a genius. His word play in lyrics are so raw that it hit you like an actual arrow right to your heart. Also Daechiwta is a traditional music played during kings arrival. Btw, yoongi's studio name is Genius Lab.
Every time I watch the "Daechwita" MV, I remember that Yoongi spent time researching swords and ordering a custom one to have that weighs less than what it looks like, to make his sword dance moves perfectly balanced. That's ONE detail. ONE. Imagine how much thought he put into the rest, beginning with the music, of course! The gold earrings he's wearing as emperor are made to look like the ones worn by kings in the Silla kingdom, which was located in the part of Korea he was born in, centuries later. The specific car model they used was the one criminal gangs had to show status when he grew up. You can literally write entire essays on just the tiniest detail in this MV.
man what i love about this video is that their team came to him with an idea that was wayyyy more simple, but Yoongi was like "No :)" And had this whole concept laid out with the story of the King versus the Rebel, the swords, the marketplace all of it was his idea otherwise we probably would have a video of just like....him being swaggy against solid LED screens or whatever videographers have been doing for rappers these days. He even planned out the social media roll-out starting with a D-7 countdown and ending with D-2, the name of the album. Just brilliant really. He IS a genius lol And yea he said that he is both characters, both the King and the Rebel. They are both himself. I think it's also a nod to his rise to fame the way the rebel rose to power, and the King is a nod to his ego as well. He has his team and even his actual stylist in that scene where he gets the keys. It's just really smart and cool how he did all this, ill never shut up about it. The sword versus the gun is also a nod to the old killing out the new and moving to the future. Yea its an amazing video. Was SO fun to watch with yall!!! I think Blood Sweat and Tears is also a great video. Yes and what your friend said, PLEASE DO THAT!!!! Just watch the video once through and then go back and pause a million times. I love cinematography as well and am definitely watching to geek out alongside yall!!
When you show the stuff to other people I really recommend not talking during it, not to damage their and our experience. I know it's tough but you gotta keep it in! xD
I agree. It's one of the reasons why I really don't like watching reactions where it's an ARMY showing their friends BTS for the first time. They pollute the experience. By constantly guiding them and telling them "look at this look at that", you make them and us miss out on the opportunity for them to notice maybe something different than what you or I initially noticed. And we want to see THEIR reaction and thoughts. It's fine to be a source if they have a question, and to pause and answer, but it's unfortunate.
@@jademelon7272 yep! when I see vid like that I usually click out right away. I think it's cool to brief them about meaning of the song or some special context before, be there during if they have questions and maybe even explain some things afterwards but NOT interrupt the experience to deliver exposition especially if you don't know all the facts yourself as in here.
Thank you for your comment!!! I'm not even going to finish this video. They completely talked over the lyrics. It was way more them than Suga. Nah I'm good. Not subscribing.
Like every great historical K Drama the lead is never really dead. As a former art teacher I think this is a masterpiece of music, lyrics, color and design. The small and large details rival many big budget movie productions.
Deachwita means a music ( traditional) that played when king is coming - like praising the king I think he is fighting against his past self in detail gangster yoongi is present self And king is the pastself
I remember reading some of the crew from the show Kingdom on Netflix was part of this MV shoot. if you even watch clips of Kingdom you notice the similarities.
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
What is the story behind Daechwita (Agust D)? Daechwita is actually a traditional Korean musical genre born in the late Joseon dynasty, which used to be performed in royalty processions, was characterized by including wind instruments and percussion. Today it continues to be used on special occasions and for military purposes. Daechwita by Agust-D, is a representation of Suga’s constant battle against himself and how the desire to achieve his dreams have given him the courage to do everything to achieve being on top, and the emptiness he feels even now when he has everything he wants. Dachwita’s MV references parts of Korean culture as well. Set in a royal palace, the video sees Agust D take on two opposing characters. He is a humble boy who represents the Korean people and is also the king. Yoongi faces himself in an endless battle, his revolutionary and humble side against the powerful, cruel and dangerous part of his personality. Daechwita gives a powerful message about being proud of our roots, of being able to become what we most want despite adversity. At the same time, the dark side of power is also made clear, where having what we most wanted is sometimes not enough. Here we can see blond haired yoongi as Agust D and black haired yoongi as Suga.
I would like to see another reaction just from Jordan, after he has watched one or two explanation videos for Daechwita, so that he gets a lot of the cultural references. Then come back to us with the cinematography + the cultural + the psychological interplay in this story. Thank you, if you do that. Daechwita is a music form that supports the movement of a king from here to there. It is basically an aural setting for the progress of a king. You can see how "daechwita" repeated in the lyrics here, and used to shape the concept of this video, shows the progress of a king. We have the classic conqueror King, the one who is all dressed up and inhabiting his historical role, and then we have the real, live King, who is experienced at a street level, and humble and hard-working and yet rises above the level of the historical King. And the latter kills the former... the real man kills his overweening ego... this is the spiritual and psychological progress of a real king. Min Yoongi / Suga / Agust D trained with an actual heavy sword. Despite the fact that he had a shoulder injury as a result of a car accident prior to joining BTS. He just had shoulder surgery for that injury last month, and had been away from BTS for a few weeks for the full rest he needed to start his recovery and rehab. He rejoined BTS just a couple of days ago, to celebrate their win debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for their new track Life Goes On. It was one of Yoongi's stated wishes that a Korean lyrics song reach the Billboard Hot 100. "What Yoongi wants Yoongi gets" trended on Twitter for a while. This wish was the third of his wishes that was fulfilled in 2020. The first was any song on the Billboard Hot 100. The second was a Grammy nomination. And the third was a Korean lyrics song on the Billboard Hot 100. (There are videos of actual Daechwita performances. Some of the music in this video is actually from traditional instruments and from real Daechwita music.)
@@scarletarmy_chaeunwoo_yys9027 I love Jordan’s reaction videos because he actually explains about the cinematography and editing in a clear but not boring way, tbh I’m disappointed with this reaction video because I thought I would have gotten something useful out of it.
Every time I watch that MV I get chills and full body goosebumps. I listen to this song all the time and I absolutely LOVE this. Brain cannot compute with all the BOSS and KING energy.
I love it when I see people losing their minds over BTS like I do because some people still don’t get it. Yoongi once said something along the line of people would like our music if they didn’t know it’s made by BTS. Their work, whether it’s music, mv, stage design, choreography, performances, visuals, variety shows and even their merch are top-notch to a point it’s inspiring! It inspires you to be better at your own craft! Bottom line: BTS is AMAZING! They’re not just a hype.
In my opinion, this is the BEST VIDEO of the year. No other video comes close to the production values, story concept of this video. The whole video is stunning but my favorite scene is the opening set up scene. Where the KING is over looking his courtyard of headless bodies, with boxes, perfectly displayed next to them. This opening scene, sets up the whole video. The King Takes Heads as his trophies. It's a great set up scene. It could be a story of EGO but I see the story as two brothers who were separated at birth. One a king and one a peasant. The King rules with iron fist as he stands on the backs of his people, declares he is KING & hang heads from the balcony. The peasant lives in the village, where he has his friends and followers, even the man who cuts meat with the long blade. When the peasant takes the keys, I see it as symbolism that he is coming for the Kingdom. The peasant kicks up a lot a dust, he makes a lot of claims but the King gives him the thumbs down and imprisones the peasant. He stands in the middle of the urns filled with fire, making his case to to be king. The henchman brings the peasant in front of the king for execution. You hear the peasant rap Daechwita! Daechwita! Play it Loud, Daechwita! as you see the villagers in the courtyard bobbin' their heads to the pleas of the peasant. Play the music loud for the KING. You start to feel that he (the peasant) is the chosen one. The king gives the signal, off with his head as the henchman does a ceremonial dance as he spit water over his blade. We feel the tension as we see the body drop to the ground and then a sense of relief when we realize the henchman cut his ropes. We recognize that the henchman was the meat cutter from the village. He hands the peasant a Smith & Wesson. The peasant walks forward towards the steps of the kingdom, looks up and shoots the King. (My take on Daechwita)
Hey Dylan (and crew), you can definitely watch it more than once or twice and we would still enjoy it. They missed so much like Yoongi's flow in the fire shot because they were discussing how it was shot and the lyrics, it's not possible to take it all in on first viewing. Maybe watch it all the way through once, then second time pause and discuss. Other reactors do videos twice, some do lyric vid and MV together, just a thought! Love ya!
Yeah i agree. Also, i think them being more interested in the cinematography and video editing kinda had them focused more on that commentary rather than the rap flow. But overall, enjoyed their reaction and i do admit, i always need more editor perspective. Looking forward to more guys.
so this is a very rough explanation but daechwita is like korean military music usually I think to announce the king's arrival or something along those lines. And yes! there is a behind the scenes video you should watch!
Dylan @ 2:53: "reign in the fanboy" 😂😂 Also 5:52 "What does that word mean?" (Dylan losing to the fanboy urges) 👌 Btw, Daechwita is a form of traditional Korean military music. I'm not sure if you heard about it but the director for this mv was thinking of a really simple music video but Yoongi said "Nope, I'm thinking of a more traditional Korean setting" (which was an amazing choice) I absolutely LOVED this reaction!! I think I said this in my last comment but I'm a photographer and aspire to be a videographer as well so hearing all of your input and seeing other people get just as excited over transitions, color schemes, composition, etc. makes me so happy. I learn a lot from your videos and always look forward to more of these being posted. Please continue with more! If y'all are interested, you should react to the behind the scenes filming of this MV! ua-cam.com/video/KWRJ8CUBsXI/v-deo.html For another mv to react to, I suggest Euphoria. I know it's one of the short films so it would be a longer reaction but I really love the way they filmed it and think y'all might as well. ua-cam.com/video/kX0vO4vlJuU/v-deo.html
Jesus. Dylan, I know you’re excited but... yelling throughout the whole thing makes people miss out on a lot. Let them take it in, then geek out, maybe? If people can let themselves get pulled into the video it’s a bigger takeaway
@@willowtrixel111 Dylan just sees like a sweet and excited dude I just... ya gotta chill out even when it’s hard not to geek out. Like, I don’t make reaction videos but I do hate when someone is showing me something and shouting “look at this part!” or “okay, listen to this-“ and I can’t focus. But oh well, not the end of the world lol.
That was exactly what i was thinking watching the whole video. I mean i can see hw passionate ur about it i love that but bro talking throughout the whole video...is soooo annoying!!!
Exactly. It made it hard to watch their reaction. I totally get the excitement but he needs to stop over explaining before they get a chance to even see what is happening.
I have watched many reactions to this but y’all’s is the best! It makes me feel like you really appreciate the genius that is Min Yoongi (Suga, AgusD).
Yes, Yoongi sat at the producing table with the director. I remember him saying the director wanted something somewhat historical and Yoongi was like "I want the whole thing, I want the palace, I want to go all in." What was the budget? Yes.
FRICKKK YAAA BABY LETS GET IT, i love thisss mv, especially the rap towards the end where he’s like all smooth there, and not saying all of it is smooth it’s FIRE ALL TOGETHER 💜💜💜💜 hope you doing good dylan stay safe
You should watch this again without talking. You are missing a lot . You need to watch this uninterrupted. If you learn the historical perspective it will mean even more.
Okay, guys, this is one of the most enjoyable reactions I have ever seen. Three people who really know what they're doing, reacting to something that one of them loves, that all three can read properly. It was exciting and informative and I want to see more stuff like that, please. Thank you. So much. It made my morning. 💜💯💜 And it reminded me why I subscribed to Dylan's channel.
I absolutely love the geeking out section of this reaction video. The gears, the techniques, angles, lightings, story boardings, etc. Not a lot of those on UA-cam except by a handful of people.
I am literally vibing with them as a 32 year old woman who lived off TRL and watching the MV countdowns. Love these reactions. I know everyone has given so much input!
This is about his inner conflict between his real self and his mad power hungry ego, and trying not to be changed by his fame and success. So he has to kill his ego before it can kill the real Yoongi. Although he has said of the ending. “Maybe I missed” which is why you see the shot but not the king dying. But it is also about the conflict between old and new. Old represented by the king in traditional clothes in the actual historic palace where the kings used to rule Korea, and new represented by Yoongi in modern clothes, riding in a car in the middle of a historical setting. Bringing a new way of thinking and a new way of doing things to an old and outdated way of being. I recommend you react to BTS Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, On official MV, or Black Swan for cinematography. Or ONEUS Please Come Back Home. That video has awesome storytelling. PS. I forgot to mention how on Yoongi the king his cut on this eye is fresh and on modern Yoongi it has already healed and formed a scar.
A couple of notes that you may have missed - symbolism. In the opening (before the marketplace), there are 6 guys behind Suga as he sings. They represent his 6 BTS members - his gang. Later, when he enters a house/room and picks up the car keys, you will notice 6 males (representing his BTS members) and 1 female. She represents ARMY.
Like how can you not be amazed by Yoongi’s skills🤩🤩He shall always be the king👑I am so glad you reacted to this, how about you have them react to the D-2 album😊
I’m pretty sure Dylan watched this MV many times but because Yoongi is his bias..you can’t blame him if he’s always excited everytime he watched this specially when his friends around😂😂. You’re friend can’t concentrate coz u talked too much hahaha. I feel you Dylan.
😂Lol is not CGI is actually real because the area has been shot by many actors who played as the king. While filming Suga was a bit drunk when filming. He drank a little bit but like he can handle it when it comes to drinking lol🤣. He said this by the way no one dare to say to him to stop because they are scared of him. Jhope and Jimin also give him some support. Jhope even bought him coffee and churros. All the members also support yoongi with the dinner. This goes to every member when they do a MV by themselves they had help and support from the other members like Jin who bought food for RM and for the staff and V help RM when making Persona by recording with his phone to show how he did. Also goes to everyone that supported each other even when they are working alone is really sweet for all of them to do that. They weren't joking when saying that they like to work together.
I lovvvvvvvveeeeeee Suga too. I don't want to go so far as to say that he's my only bias cause eventually I love everyone of them. I love this one one sec, and then another in another sec. Can't decide. Love from an Indian army 💜
This was such a nice reaction. I subscribed to Jordan and your other channel. I am pretty interested in videography and it was just so so so nice to see how happy and amazed all of you were. Thanks for this and I am really looking forward to the GCF video you guys are going to do :)
Was rooting for Dylan to control himself from the beginning especially when that chorus comes up. 😅💜 Love the reactions, just make sure to pause when you talk. we dont mind watching longer videos as long as you get to experience every bit of the vids coz we all know.. it's all in the details with BTS. 💜
Yessssss. Loved it!!! This is the freaking be Agust D MV ever. So many others have explained jt so ill skip it.. I think they would also really like Spring Day because it has a story and the color scheme. I would like it if they watched it once then yall play it again nd they pick stuff out. I feel like that me be more organized.
Dudeeee u need to invite this guy in the middle more often. The way his own passion for the work he does gets portrayed through the appreciation he has for the effort put in by BTS 👌 is top notch
Real fire. Dylan you need to go prepare to these meetings, I know you're excited but they asked you a few questions you couldn't answer, you're the expert you've been and ARMY for a minute. Great reaction, check out bangtan tv for the behind the scenes or making of
The whole act of Dylan almost screaming and fangirling and spitting all the things he knows and thinks and admire about Agust D, it's me in my mind every time I show this mv to my friends as "my ultimate fav mv" I literally obligate myself to keep quiet and let them amaze for this masterpiece and the genius that is obviously my bias Yoongi 💜 I love music and I still don't get it when people doesn't see far from the label of kpop and dismissed the work of the artist without even watch it, maybe that's why I always try to tell why I admire about bts, every member is so good and try so hard to add more to the group, and return some of the love they get from army, that's so great.
Outside of the fact that BTS are literally musical KINGS, Korean cinema in general always have been a scene for learning. They are extremely good in making stories visually. Koreans are masters in using the technology and mastering emotions cinematically and this is because of the way their culture is. Working hard, mastering in details every single aspects of making art, they work hard to learn. That's why they have been masters in making movies for as long as I know myself. If you want to learn how to do great story telling, start studying their cinema. That's why I also love BTS, they are masters in storytelling, musically and visually. They are changing the game.
LOL The place they filmed is a real location of like the traditional countryside of South Korea and he is wearing actual traditional garments of that dynasty (during that era).
KING MIN SUGA,he came from MIN dynasty,MIN SUGA can be king,but there is no thone to sit down,but MIN SUGA their family accept him as one can be a king for MIN family.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Whenever you guys watch there music videos you can always watch the behind the sences of the music videos on bangtan tv....bts always make sure to show how they do there things
Really like the moments when you guys (More Jordan, I guess. No hate!) take a minute and explain the technicalities, techniques, and everything/anything in between of what we are watching. I have a lot of interest in the efforts and details that it takes to create in regards to anything film, so thank you for sharing the knowledge. I came for some dope bts appreciation and stayed for the obvious passion behind what you do. And of course Dylan's excitement about showing off BTS's/solo videos is beyond relatable, haha. Much appreciated!
AAAAH THE REWINDS, I LIVE FOR THOSE! 😁👍😍😊💜💜💜💜💜💜🥂🔥🥧 I feel so proud of their interest. Would love to see their take on ON or Fake Love, etc. Think they would love Not Today as well.

I was going to say he has the input on this MV and it's really amazing. Love his genius brain!
And in today's bangtan bomb he said he didn't know what we'd like so he included everything 😄
oh i liked that " " 😂

Basically correct but the film setting currently is surrounded by modern urban trappings which had to be removed from the shot to create an authentic period atmosphere, so yes the location, props, and actions were all real but due to the march of modernity creating a mountainous background did require a bit of manipulation.
@@ericweinman9447 interesting info! I wasn’t part of the post production so I had no idea.

he wasn't lying when he called himself a genius. he's my ultimate bias for a reason
With all his success and achievements he’s killing the tyrannical king side of himself to keep himself grounded and humble
Yes there’s a behind the scene for this. Its on Bangtantv. “Agust D MV Shooting sketch”
Waiting for more video reactions from you guys!
yes great fun to watch that and other docs on BTS’s backstory. as stated above, Suga’s solo rapper name is August D.
people who appreciate him as an artist usually do so even more after learning his background story, and that he is a prolific song writer and music producer, within BTS and outside of BTS too. he won a prestigious award for this. BTS as a group have won many awards. i hope you see and appreciate the other wrappers, formally, RM (a writer and producer too) and J Hope (originally a competitive dancer, now also choreographer for BTS. Jungkook is known as super well rounded-a singer, dancer, and supporting rapper. Jimin, too. V sings, acts, and is now part of the dance line. finally, the group wouldn’t be complete without Jin, who adds so much, particularly singing, though he underplays his other contributions, such as being a big brother, cook, and one of the visual focus members (he has made this into a running joke).

Suga even trained for the sword scene .. and the fact that this is his individual project with this kind of production level is amazing. not just anyone can film where they filmed this.
"Min Suga. Genius. Those two words should be enough" - Min Yoongi
Suga did said the mv is his idea. I think it supposed to be simpler, but suga wanted for higher budget n shoot at that palace. Even the countdown for his mixtape is his idea. He loves complicated, mystery movies like inception so not a surprise to see this mv has very good n intriguing storyline.
I get goosebumps every time I watch Daechwita -even after having watched it dozens of times... just perfection.
AGUST D, SUGA is beyond genius. The whole concept is his and l love your cinematography reactions. So much COOL in the room
💜💜💜🐨🦘🇦🇺✔️
Yoongi aka suga is indeed a genius. His word play in lyrics are so raw that it hit you like an actual arrow right to your heart. Also Daechiwta is a traditional music played during kings arrival. Btw, yoongi's studio name is Genius Lab.
It's not CGI every set is a real palace
No one can beat suga in Rap that's why He is the best Rapper in kpop😍😍😍
Yoongi Is a king and a boss
Dylan is a Yoongi simp
Me: I'm with you Dylan and because he's ur bias obviously
Every time I watch the "Daechwita" MV, I remember that Yoongi spent time researching swords and ordering a custom one to have that weighs less than what it looks like, to make his sword dance moves perfectly balanced.
That's ONE detail. ONE. Imagine how much thought he put into the rest, beginning with the music, of course!
The gold earrings he's wearing as emperor are made to look like the ones worn by kings in the Silla kingdom, which was located in the part of Korea he was born in, centuries later.
The specific car model they used was the one criminal gangs had to show status when he grew up.
You can literally write entire essays on just the tiniest detail in this MV.
man what i love about this video is that their team came to him with an idea that was wayyyy more simple, but Yoongi was like "No :)" And had this whole concept laid out with the story of the King versus the Rebel, the swords, the marketplace all of it was his idea otherwise we probably would have a video of just like....him being swaggy against solid LED screens or whatever videographers have been doing for rappers these days. He even planned out the social media roll-out starting with a D-7 countdown and ending with D-2, the name of the album. Just brilliant really. He IS a genius lol And yea he said that he is both characters, both the King and the Rebel. They are both himself. I think it's also a nod to his rise to fame the way the rebel rose to power, and the King is a nod to his ego as well. He has his team and even his actual stylist in that scene where he gets the keys. It's just really smart and cool how he did all this, ill never shut up about it. The sword versus the gun is also a nod to the old killing out the new and moving to the future. Yea its an amazing video. Was SO fun to watch with yall!!! I think Blood Sweat and Tears is also a great video. Yes and what your friend said, PLEASE DO THAT!!!! Just watch the video once through and then go back and pause a million times. I love cinematography as well and am definitely watching to geek out alongside yall!!
No bs&t is great but fake love MV is better and ON and black swan MV
When you show the stuff to other people I really recommend not talking during it, not to damage their and our experience. I know it's tough but you gotta keep it in! xD
I agree. It's one of the reasons why I really don't like watching reactions where it's an ARMY showing their friends BTS for the first time. They pollute the experience. By constantly guiding them and telling them "look at this look at that", you make them and us miss out on the opportunity for them to notice maybe something different than what you or I initially noticed. And we want to see THEIR reaction and thoughts. It's fine to be a source if they have a question, and to pause and answer, but it's unfortunate.
@@jademelon7272 yep! when I see vid like that I usually click out right away. I think it's cool to brief them about meaning of the song or some special context before, be there during if they have questions and maybe even explain some things afterwards but NOT interrupt the experience to deliver exposition especially if you don't know all the facts yourself as in here.
Exactly my point he talks more than them and alot in the video.
Ikr!!! Dylan cállate pleaseeeeee lmao
Thank you for your comment!!! I'm not even going to finish this video. They completely talked over the lyrics. It was way more them than Suga. Nah I'm good. Not subscribing.
The best part of this video is you, Dylan. You look so happy and proud of Suga’s work.
Like every great historical K Drama the lead is never really dead. As a former art teacher I think this is a masterpiece of music, lyrics, color and design. The small and large details rival many big budget movie productions.
Deachwita means a music ( traditional) that played when king is coming - like praising the king
I think he is fighting against his past self in detail gangster yoongi is present self
And king is the pastself
I remember reading some of the crew from the show Kingdom on Netflix was part of this MV shoot. if you even watch clips of Kingdom you notice the similarities.
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
Dylan didnt do his hoooommeeeewooork :D there's a behind the scenes, and forgetting the word daechwita, cmon! tsk tsk tsk
What is the story behind Daechwita (Agust D)?
Daechwita is actually a traditional Korean musical genre born in the late Joseon dynasty, which used to be performed in royalty processions, was characterized by including wind instruments and percussion. Today it continues to be used on special occasions and for military purposes.
Daechwita by Agust-D, is a representation of Suga’s constant battle against himself and how the desire to achieve his dreams have given him the courage to do everything to achieve being on top, and the emptiness he feels even now when he has everything he wants.
Dachwita’s MV references parts of Korean culture as well. Set in a royal palace, the video sees Agust D take on two opposing characters. He is a humble boy who represents the Korean people and is also the king. Yoongi faces himself in an endless battle, his revolutionary and humble side against the powerful, cruel and dangerous part of his personality.
Daechwita gives a powerful message about being proud of our roots, of being able to become what we most want despite adversity. At the same time, the dark side of power is also made clear, where having what we most wanted is sometimes not enough.
Here we can see blond haired yoongi as Agust D and black haired yoongi as Suga.
Why is none talking about the sword 🗡 dance he did. It’s amazing 🤩!!!
The level of talent coming out of South Korea is on another level! I've been watching since 2019 and it blows me away!
I would like to see another reaction just from Jordan, after he has watched one or two explanation videos for Daechwita, so that he gets a lot of the cultural references. Then come back to us with the cinematography + the cultural + the psychological interplay in this story. Thank you, if you do that.
Daechwita is a music form that supports the movement of a king from here to there. It is basically an aural setting for the progress of a king. You can see how "daechwita" repeated in the lyrics here, and used to shape the concept of this video, shows the progress of a king. We have the classic conqueror King, the one who is all dressed up and inhabiting his historical role, and then we have the real, live King, who is experienced at a street level, and humble and hard-working and yet rises above the level of the historical King. And the latter kills the former... the real man kills his overweening ego... this is the spiritual and psychological progress of a real king.
Min Yoongi / Suga / Agust D trained with an actual heavy sword. Despite the fact that he had a shoulder injury as a result of a car accident prior to joining BTS. He just had shoulder surgery for that injury last month, and had been away from BTS for a few weeks for the full rest he needed to start his recovery and rehab. He rejoined BTS just a couple of days ago, to celebrate their win debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for their new track Life Goes On. It was one of Yoongi's stated wishes that a Korean lyrics song reach the Billboard Hot 100. "What Yoongi wants Yoongi gets" trended on Twitter for a while. This wish was the third of his wishes that was fulfilled in 2020. The first was any song on the Billboard Hot 100. The second was a Grammy nomination. And the third was a Korean lyrics song on the Billboard Hot 100.
(There are videos of actual Daechwita performances. Some of the music in this video is actually from traditional instruments and from real Daechwita music.)
I hope they see your comment. It provides the most information out of the comments I've read
I watched the reactions from Jordan Ome too, and he said daechwita is the best music video he watched in 2020.
@@scarletarmy_chaeunwoo_yys9027 I love Jordan’s reaction videos because he actually explains about the cinematography and editing in a clear but not boring way, tbh I’m disappointed with this reaction video because I thought I would have gotten something useful out of it.
@@Jess-zj5cj Well because Jordan Ome is a pro. But overall i like the reaction, even though i know nothing about cinematography and video editing.
When the writing and drawing of Mr. Bang came
My mind: 'Ayo Hitman Bang is at my side' Suga said.
Yoongi is a genius and EVERYTHING comes from him! No CGI
Every time I watch that MV I get chills and full body goosebumps. I listen to this song all the time and I absolutely LOVE this. Brain cannot compute with all the BOSS and KING energy.
The same people that worked on "Kingdom" are responsible for the cinematography
That's awesome!! 😁👍💜
Awaiting season 3!!
this was shot on the sets of k-period dramas, so epic
I love it when I see people losing their minds over BTS like I do because some people still don’t get it. Yoongi once said something along the line of people would like our music if they didn’t know it’s made by BTS. Their work, whether it’s music, mv, stage design, choreography, performances, visuals, variety shows and even their merch are top-notch to a point it’s inspiring! It inspires you to be better at your own craft! Bottom line: BTS is AMAZING! They’re not just a hype.
The mv was directed by Yong Seok Choi (Lumpens)
Yoongi created this music video and song from the ground himself. He's a perfectionist and it shows .
In my opinion, this is the BEST VIDEO of the year. No other video comes close to the production values, story concept of this video. The whole video is stunning but my favorite scene is the opening set up scene. Where the KING is over looking his courtyard of headless bodies, with boxes, perfectly displayed next to them. This opening scene, sets up the whole video.
The King Takes Heads as his trophies. It's a great set up scene. It could be a story of EGO but I see the story as two brothers who were separated at birth. One a king and one a peasant. The King rules with iron fist as he stands on the backs of his people, declares he is KING & hang heads from the balcony. The peasant lives in the village, where he has his friends and followers, even the man who cuts meat with the long blade. When the peasant takes the keys, I see it as symbolism that he is coming for the Kingdom. The peasant kicks up a lot a dust, he makes a lot of claims but the King gives him the thumbs down and imprisones the peasant. He stands in the middle of the urns filled with fire, making his case to to be king. The henchman brings the peasant in front of the king for execution. You hear the peasant rap Daechwita! Daechwita! Play it Loud, Daechwita! as you see the villagers in the courtyard bobbin' their heads to the pleas of the peasant. Play the music loud for the KING. You start to feel that he (the peasant) is the chosen one. The king gives the signal, off with his head as the henchman does a ceremonial dance as he spit water over his blade. We feel the tension as we see the body drop to the ground and then a sense of relief when we realize the henchman cut his ropes. We recognize that the henchman was the meat cutter from the village. He hands the peasant a Smith & Wesson. The peasant walks forward towards the steps of the kingdom, looks up and shoots the King. (My take on Daechwita)
What yoongi wants, yoongi gets it!!! 😍😍😍😍
Hey Dylan (and crew), you can definitely watch it more than once or twice and we would still enjoy it. They missed so much like Yoongi's flow in the fire shot because they were discussing how it was shot and the lyrics, it's not possible to take it all in on first viewing. Maybe watch it all the way through once, then second time pause and discuss. Other reactors do videos twice, some do lyric vid and MV together, just a thought! Love ya!
Yeah i agree. Also, i think them being more interested in the cinematography and video editing kinda had them focused more on that commentary rather than the rap flow. But overall, enjoyed their reaction and i do admit, i always need more editor perspective. Looking forward to more guys.
I guess you haven't seen "Kingdom" yet... Top kdrama with Zombies. It is said that those people worked on this video too
so this is a very rough explanation but daechwita is like korean military music usually I think to announce the king's arrival or something along those lines. And yes! there is a behind the scenes video you should watch!
What about “shadow”, that’s really good to.
Dylan @ 2:53: "reign in the fanboy" 😂😂
Also 5:52 "What does that word mean?" (Dylan losing to the fanboy urges) 👌
Btw, Daechwita is a form of traditional Korean military music.
I'm not sure if you heard about it but the director for this mv was thinking of a really simple music video but Yoongi said "Nope, I'm thinking of a more traditional Korean setting" (which was an amazing choice)
I absolutely LOVED this reaction!! I think I said this in my last comment but I'm a photographer and aspire to be a videographer as well so hearing all of your input and seeing other people get just as excited over transitions, color schemes, composition, etc. makes me so happy.
I learn a lot from your videos and always look forward to more of these being posted.
Please continue with more!
If y'all are interested, you should react to the behind the scenes filming of this MV! ua-cam.com/video/KWRJ8CUBsXI/v-deo.html
For another mv to react to, I suggest Euphoria. I know it's one of the short films so it would be a longer reaction but I really love the way they filmed it and think y'all might as well.
ua-cam.com/video/kX0vO4vlJuU/v-deo.html
Fun fact: there’s no cgi in this.
Suga personally wanted a grand mv for this song
Jesus. Dylan, I know you’re excited but... yelling throughout the whole thing makes people miss out on a lot. Let them take it in, then geek out, maybe? If people can let themselves get pulled into the video it’s a bigger takeaway
Yes totally! So cringey I couldn’t even make it halfway. Would have been nice if he let them soak it all in and then explain things afterwards. 😓
@@willowtrixel111 Dylan just sees like a sweet and excited dude I just... ya gotta chill out even when it’s hard not to geek out. Like, I don’t make reaction videos but I do hate when someone is showing me something and shouting “look at this part!” or “okay, listen to this-“ and I can’t focus. But oh well, not the end of the world lol.
That was exactly what i was thinking watching the whole video. I mean i can see hw passionate ur about it i love that but bro talking throughout the whole video...is soooo annoying!!!
😆😆😆😆
Exactly. It made it hard to watch their reaction. I totally get the excitement but he needs to stop over explaining before they get a chance to even see what is happening.
I have watched many reactions to this but y’all’s is the best! It makes me feel like you really appreciate the genius that is Min Yoongi (Suga, AgusD).
Guy in cap "I could watch this without saying a word....." *flies over Dylan's head as he launches into another tirade*
GOOD JOB Dylan!! I love when people are always in shock when they see suga. Hey, you nice, keep going!👍
Yoongi produced this video, had total input into everything that was done
Remember when yoongi told us that before filming he drank whiskey at the toilet just so he could act freely, he is such a good actor PERIOD
0:25 when you don´t know what`s coming your way.... the BTS school bus... Jin`s driving of course!
So tonight this video showed up in my feed... really glad, too, I enjoyed y’all’s reaction and the insider knowledge of your guest! 😁💜
Yes, Yoongi sat at the producing table with the director. I remember him saying the director wanted something somewhat historical and Yoongi was like "I want the whole thing, I want the palace, I want to go all in." What was the budget? Yes.
FRICKKK YAAA BABY LETS GET IT, i love thisss mv, especially the rap towards the end where he’s like all smooth there, and not saying all of it is smooth it’s FIRE ALL TOGETHER 💜💜💜💜 hope you doing good dylan stay safe
yes there is a behind the scenes of this mv, no green screen nor fake fire. the video is shot at gyeongbokgung palace in seoul, korea.
You should watch this again without talking. You are missing a lot . You need to watch this uninterrupted. If you learn the historical perspective it will mean even more.
I feel like as a Yoongi stan, you didnt watch the behind the scenes of daechwita...but hey you do you...for views. ✌
Okay, guys, this is one of the most enjoyable reactions I have ever seen. Three people who really know what they're doing, reacting to something that one of them loves, that all three can read properly. It was exciting and informative and I want to see more stuff like that, please. Thank you. So much. It made my morning. 💜💯💜
And it reminded me why I subscribed to Dylan's channel.
I absolutely love the geeking out section of this reaction video. The gears, the techniques, angles, lightings, story boardings, etc. Not a lot of those on UA-cam except by a handful of people.
I am literally vibing with them as a 32 year old woman who lived off TRL and watching the MV countdowns. Love these reactions. I know everyone has given so much input!
Happy birthday to you kim seok jin💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is about his inner conflict between his real self and his mad power hungry ego, and trying not to be changed by his fame and success. So he has to kill his ego before it can kill the real Yoongi. Although he has said of the ending. “Maybe I missed” which is why you see the shot but not the king dying. But it is also about the conflict between old and new. Old represented by the king in traditional clothes in the actual historic palace where the kings used to rule Korea, and new represented by Yoongi in modern clothes, riding in a car in the middle of a historical setting. Bringing a new way of thinking and a new way of doing things to an old and outdated way of being. I recommend you react to BTS Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, On official MV, or Black Swan for cinematography. Or ONEUS Please Come Back Home. That video has awesome storytelling.
PS. I forgot to mention how on Yoongi the king his cut on this eye is fresh and on modern Yoongi it has already healed and formed a scar.
A couple of notes that you may have missed - symbolism. In the opening (before the marketplace), there are 6 guys behind Suga as he sings. They represent his 6 BTS members - his gang. Later, when he enters a house/room and picks up the car keys, you will notice 6 males (representing his BTS members) and 1 female. She represents ARMY.
Honestly, this felt like the reaction this MV deserved.
Like how can you not be amazed by Yoongi’s skills🤩🤩He shall always be the king👑I am so glad you reacted to this, how about you have them react to the D-2 album😊
I’m pretty sure Dylan watched this MV many times but because Yoongi is his bias..you can’t blame him if he’s always excited everytime he watched this specially when his friends around😂😂. You’re friend can’t concentrate coz u talked too much hahaha. I feel you Dylan.
We can blame them for literally not shutting up for the ENTIRE song.
Do it. I love the commentaries. I always watch once way thru and then go all in on details. That’s bangtan music
11:32 the way you two synchronously looked at Dylan right after the MV ended tho
Actually this song/rap is about a brutal King that use to rule in Korea many years ago !!
DKDK TV explains the story and Korean meaning of this video.
😂Lol is not CGI is actually real because the area has been shot by many actors who played as the king. While filming Suga was a bit drunk when filming. He drank a little bit but like he can handle it when it comes to drinking lol🤣. He said this by the way no one dare to say to him to stop because they are scared of him. Jhope and Jimin also give him some support. Jhope even bought him coffee and churros. All the members also support yoongi with the dinner. This goes to every member when they do a MV by themselves they had help and support from the other members like Jin who bought food for RM and for the staff and V help RM when making Persona by recording with his phone to show how he did. Also goes to everyone that supported each other even when they are working alone is really sweet for all of them to do that. They weren't joking when saying that they like to work together.
I lovvvvvvvveeeeeee Suga too. I don't want to go so far as to say that he's my only bias cause eventually I love everyone of them. I love this one one sec, and then another in another sec. Can't decide. Love from an Indian army 💜
This was so fun, please keep letting them see everything in the BTS bag. Thanks for 14:28 of smiling.
I recommend you guys to watch behind the scenes too with official M/Vs
🤯yewww 🇦🇺 here for this reaction !!!
Great reactions guys!!!!
#armys #btsarmy we need to give them more reactions !
This was such a nice reaction. I subscribed to Jordan and your other channel. I am pretty interested in videography and it was just so so so nice to see how happy and amazed all of you were. Thanks for this and I am really looking forward to the GCF video you guys are going to do :)
You should react to ON(kinetic manifesto film) and BLACK SWAN💜
Was rooting for Dylan to control himself from the beginning especially when that chorus comes up. 😅💜
Love the reactions, just make sure to pause when you talk. we dont mind watching longer videos as long as you get to experience every bit of the vids coz we all know.. it's all in the details with BTS. 💜
Up
Yessssss. Loved it!!! This is the freaking be Agust D MV ever. So many others have explained jt so ill skip it.. I think they would also really like Spring Day because it has a story and the color scheme.
I would like it if they watched it once then yall play it again nd they pick stuff out. I feel like that me be more organized.
Yoongi said that they filmed that in low budget
Like what!!!
Dylan trying to keep his calm and not fanboy is the biggest mood ever
Dudeeee u need to invite this guy in the middle more often. The way his own passion for the work he does gets portrayed through the appreciation he has for the effort put in by BTS 👌 is top notch
Real fire. Dylan you need to go prepare to these meetings, I know you're excited but they asked you a few questions you couldn't answer, you're the expert you've been and ARMY for a minute. Great reaction, check out bangtan tv for the behind the scenes or making of
HIS reaction is Everything I've wanted in a reaction!!
Yoongi 😘😘😘
The whole act of Dylan almost screaming and fangirling and spitting all the things he knows and thinks and admire about Agust D, it's me in my mind every time I show this mv to my friends as "my ultimate fav mv" I literally obligate myself to keep quiet and let them amaze for this masterpiece and the genius that is obviously my bias Yoongi 💜 I love music and I still don't get it when people doesn't see far from the label of kpop and dismissed the work of the artist without even watch it, maybe that's why I always try to tell why I admire about bts, every member is so good and try so hard to add more to the group, and return some of the love they get from army, that's so great.
Outside of the fact that BTS are literally musical KINGS, Korean cinema in general always have been a scene for learning. They are extremely good in making stories visually. Koreans are masters in using the technology and mastering emotions cinematically and this is because of the way their culture is. Working hard, mastering in details every single aspects of making art, they work hard to learn. That's why they have been masters in making movies for as long as I know myself. If you want to learn how to do great story telling, start studying their cinema. That's why I also love BTS, they are masters in storytelling, musically and visually. They are changing the game.
I love your guys reaction. Thank you. We; Army, is so proud of our Yoongi and Big Hit team.
Still can't get over Bang PD cameo
just a tip: dont speak during the video playing, you can pause it if you want because you might miss out the lit part.... just saying
Its been ages since I last visited your channel and let me tell you HOW MUCH I WANTED TO CRY WHEN I SAW THE SAME OLD INTRO! 😭❤❤
His duality is 🔥
they should watch behind the scenes Of making DAECHWITA in BANGTAN TV
LOL The place they filmed is a real location of like the traditional countryside of South Korea and he is wearing actual traditional garments of that dynasty (during that era).
The interview where Suga talks about creating this MV:
ua-cam.com/video/NR3HbzLchvA/v-deo.html
KING MIN SUGA,he came from MIN dynasty,MIN SUGA can be king,but there is no thone to sit down,but MIN SUGA their family accept him as one can be a king for MIN family.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Whenever you guys watch there music videos you can always watch the behind the sences of the music videos on bangtan tv....bts always make sure to show how they do there things
Really like the moments when you guys (More Jordan, I guess. No hate!) take a minute and explain the technicalities, techniques, and everything/anything in between of what we are watching. I have a lot of interest in the efforts and details that it takes to create in regards to anything film, so thank you for sharing the knowledge. I came for some dope bts appreciation and stayed for the obvious passion behind what you do. And of course Dylan's excitement about showing off BTS's/solo videos is beyond relatable, haha. Much appreciated!
AAAAH THE REWINDS, I LIVE FOR THOSE! 😁👍😍😊💜💜💜💜💜💜🥂🔥🥧 I feel so proud of their interest. Would love to see their take on ON or Fake Love, etc. Think they would love Not Today as well.
