SUGA (Shoo-ga) for Shooting Guard. His favorite position in Basket Ball. Agust D does sound like the month. And AGUST D - is SUGA backwards and DT for Daegu Town (Backwards). *AGUS* T D You now must complete the trilogy. *Suga aka Agust D's Trilogy:* Agust D - Daechwita Agust D - Haegeum (turn on CC's) - ua-cam.com/video/iy9qZR_OGa0/v-deo.html Agust D - Amygdala (turn on CC's) - ua-cam.com/video/IX1dkYoLHVs/v-deo.html *Meanings for the song titles* *Daechwita* - is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while the ARMY is marching or as a static performance usually when the King is arriving. (Suga aka Agust D meant the BTS ARMY to be implied.) *Haegeum* - has two meanings. The first, it's a traditional Korean string instrument, resembling a vertical fiddle with two strings, usually played at Royal Court. Also, it means to lift a ban, or release what is forbidden. *Amygdala* - is an almond shaped part of our brain which is commonly thought to form the core of a neural system for processing fearful and threatening stimuli, including detection of threat and activation of our fight or flight response. The amygdala helps to store memories of events and emotions so that an individual may be able to recognize similar events in the future.
Suggestion while watching most BTS KOREAN songs: listen THREE times! 1st for vibe, scenes, 2nd for translation & 3rd altogether, OTHERWISE, you MISS so much. There’s DEEP MEANINGS IN EVERYTHING BTS/individual members write/sing. Research those after each song if meaning is unclear or seems surface because it’s NEVER what it seems!
@@ReactionsThatRockthere are behind the scene for every music video, an explanation by korean at DKDK TV for this song and others, interview with suga about this song too. There are two member as cameo in this mv too. I purple you
Here's a tip: ARMYs are okay with long reactions. We love long reactions. We love it when a reactor watches the video over and over again, pausing, digesting, analyzing. It's okay. We watch those videos a hundred times and there's always something new to enjoy. BTS's songs are mostly very deep in meaning and symbolism.
Im happy to hear that! I can be quite a chatterbox so I always try to keep these under 12 minutes. I’ll keep this in mind and maybe slow it down a bit for digestion!
@@ReactionsThatRockOooh please chat as long as you’d like, we appreciate it. Everyone finds their own interpretation of bts songs, and there’s lot’s of room for that, bts want people to interpret freely and relate in their own way. Take your time
My head cannon is that somebody made the mistake of telling Suga that the only reason they were successful is because they were "too western" and Suga said "hold my beer" and came out with Daechwita (traditional military music for the king) and Haegum (a traditional musical instrument).
That is such an old narrative that the members have been confronted with since "forever". Even Army (I don't mean you - either of you) sometimes falls for and in those anti-narratives instead of accepting them as the multidimensional artist they are. "This is the music we want to make: f* that!" One of BTS answers to that was BTW "Idol". I remember watching a (new) reactor commenting on "D.N.A."'s lyrics and how "over the top" they are not realizing that this is on purpose. This is after all the beginning of a 3 album conceptline of the "Love Yourself" era and shows the beginning of a "perfect" love relationship that inevitably destroys itself while also giving us later the answer to why that is. I think Suga said he puts "traps" into his song - if you feel triggered you should reflect on why that is - because he has stopped caring about his haters years ago ("Cypher Pt. 4" is an anthem). Fun Fact: It's absolutly funny how Suga makes fun of Bang PD ("Hitman" Bang - their boss) in a tongue-in-cheek way: The drawing that is a callback to Jungkook's drawing of Bang with the big nose *and* the way Suga dances in that part - immitating how the man vibes when he hears music he likes - something that will never not be funny. You nice! Keep going! 💜
If anyone is curious about this: there was an ARMY account on Twitter which showed in a world map the geographical origin of tweets using BTS-related hashtags whenever a new song / album / content was released, and there was often a little purple dot lighting up in that continent
Daechwita stands on its own and blew me away on first listen. Then I watched Daechwita Explained by a Korean on DKDKTV and gained a whole depth of appreciation for the lyrics. As a westerner, I didn't get all the cultural references, and double entendres that could have deepened my experience.
Agree! Its worth watching the explanation to fully understand the genius of the lyrics esp in the context of Korean history and Suga's personal history. It will also prepare you better to watch the next 2 songs in this trilogy (Haegum, Amygdala)
I do always go in to these blind. It’s an effort to recreate that old “first time hearing it on the radio” experience. I hate said, sounds like I definitely need to check out the explanation! Thanks! 💜🔥😎
@ReactionsThatRock Since you prefer going into them completely blind, I'd suggest mentioning that at the top as your preference and saying not to worry, you'll dig in after 😁 Just to head off a flood of well-intentioned comments
40yo ARMY from Belgium here. As a metalhead, I was also very surprise when I fell in the BTS rabbit hole. I love them since. There is songs for every mood, for every day, for everybody, and they sound so good live! Some stages are even in the roch side! So I can't really choose my fav... Glad that you are open minded and willing to explore their artistry. Enjoy and have fun 💜
Is it rude of me to say I love your waffles? Do they even do Belgian Waffles is Belgium or is that just another thing the US did with a wanna be international flair? (We’re good at doing that!) Seriously though, I’m soooo shocked that I’ve pushed them away this long. I’ve had so many friends tell me I HAD to check them out and I just stuck my head in the sand! 💜🔥😎
@@ReactionsThatRock It's not rude at all! I even like to say that I live in Waffle in reference to a joke by Jin, one of the members of BTS. We have different types of waffles in Belgium, all delicious (we just don't call them Belgian) Before discovering them, I had the same prejudice. Now I can say I never love a group this much. Enjoy your ride!!
Don't worry, we are used to reactors not being able to read and comment on every comment from us 😅 hence all the "he" and not you. Don't feel obligated to respond to all the comments and have fun, that's the most important thing. No worries no stress 💜 Oh, I'm a 54 yo ARMY from Denmark, put a pin on that as well 😄🇩🇰 Btw, you should check out the explanation video for Daechwita. You will be blown away from the genius that is Suga (yes, like sugar without the r)
Honestly, I’m a bit OCD. I have this set up to show me comments I haven’t commented on and I NEED to clear them out. It helps that 99% of what comes my way is amazing info, compliments and more recommendations. Denmark?! That may be my first although I’ve eaten a cheese danish once or twice. 🤪 I’ll show myself out. 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock Ah I know the feeling! But I hope eventually you will get past that, or you certainly will get a divorce and no one needs that 😨 your chanel will grow and more ARMY will find you and comment. Just a heads up 😄 You have not had a real Danish if you haven't had it from a danish baker. Everything else is... Fake. Sorry to say 😂 And now I will stop replying, cause I don't want you to get a divorce 🙄
Great reactions. SUGA is pronounced, Shoo ga. He is an avid basketball fan. His favorite position is Shooting Guard, so he used the first two syllables of Shooting and Guard. Now, Agust D is Suga backwards plus Dt for Dague town where he is from. This song is actually part of a trilogy. Daechwita, Haegeum, and lastly Amygdala. He plays both the protagonist and antagonist in the videos. It's somewhat a battle between his alter egos. Honestly, the BTS rappers don't come to play, they go hard. They have several diss tracks too. SUGA & RM took alot of shit from the underground rap community, telling them they sold out to become idols. They also said they sucked as rappers and they would never make it. Well we all know who got the last laugh. 💜
OMG! THIS right here is why I need these comments! I really thought it was just Sugar without the r (as rappers are known to do!). This is so much more depth that anticipated. Once again, these guys blow me away! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock It's funny bc when other rappers try to diss bts they often say 'Sugar' like he's some sweet thing that will melt away. He totally eats them alive though.
My favorite song is Tomorrow -- writen by Suga, performed by the whole group. Many others love the song, too but there's no music video for it, and it's older, so newer ARMY are sometimes not even aware of it. :)
@@ReactionsThatRock Just wanted to say that the perform Tomorrow live on a roof top and it's my favorite rendition of the song. It's with a live band, so it has a different feel than the studio track. Also had some great lyrics, but the video of the live performance doesn't have subtitles, so I'd suggest using doolsetbangtan to understand them.
He’s known for being a ridiculously talented producer. His beats are unique and creative. Here he used Daechwita samples which is the traditional instruments you hear as the backbone. As Daechwita is traditionally military music used to announce a king it’s a double meaning he’s announcing himself a king on top. He also fights the part of himself that is greedy wants power etc by trying to ground himself as a man of the people a rebel getting back to his roots. The video and lyrics have tons of callouts to historical Korean events tying into using Daechwita music. It’s a genius level song/MV and it’s all him. All this for a FREE mixtape and he paid out of pocket to make the MV. Who does that??? He does. Almost 50 here and my former favorite bands were Tool and Rage Against the Machine. The way I am impressed musically lyrically video wise has kept me from ever being bored. Plus social and personal layers of deep meeting. BTS can blow you away if you just give them a chance. Enjoy!
Dude,I'm 66 and an Army since 2014, so you're still a baby. Love your reactions. You are very cool. You have no idea what you have jumped into. To me, Bts is the greatest band of my time, and individually, they are very impressive. As nice as the Taylor guide is, you have to watch The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by Rice Squad, the extended version.
If you like the trash talk, they cyphers are a great listen. There are 4 of them and they get better with each one. Cypher 3 is one of my favorites, especially the live from Busan concert. Honestly, they are one of the best live performers out there. Their videos are all amazing, they take the time and effort to put out some beautiful videos. And yep ARMY will all show up to see reactions. We love it when someone finds BTS and are honest with their reactions. And this is just a small sample of their work. RM and Suga received a lot of backlash from other rappers because they are idols, but if you do watch the Taylor Mari video, she covers it. That video is amazing as she gives you background on the boys with samples of their music. Also if you want a snap shot of some of their songs, watch their Festa 2021. They all sit relaxed and sing about a minute of some of their songs (about 7 songs). hope you are having fun down there rabbit hole.
Suga is the real deal. He’s raw and raps with so much emotion and conviction. Besides Eminem he is my favorite rapper. KILLS it everytime. He is not afraid to tell it like it is and that’s what makes him such a phenomenal artist. He produces his own music and is a freakin lyrical genius. BTS as a whole group are not your “typical” boy band. They are the biggest Group in the world. I could go on and on lol. Just sit back and be amazed by our guys.
Suga is the KING of trash talk, and I love it too! If you want to hear a more intro perspective song of his, I'd recommend "The Last" By AGUST D. He's known to talk about some very heavy subjects that have happened to him personally. But my god, its always amazing. Love your reactions! Thanks for keeping such an open mind. I PURPLE YOU! 💜
Hi! I LOVED your video and am a die hard BTS Army. I am also a 74 year old American woman who has been living in Europe for 35 years. The first nine in Northern Germany, the last 26 in Sweden with my Swedish husband. I discovered BTS in 2017 and watch something BTS related every day. Hey, I’m retired and frankly I think it’s a great hobby 🤣. Welcome to our vast rabbit hole. I purple you 🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I can’t believe you pulled out Tony the Tiger. 😂😂 Suga is a musical genius. I’m not exaggerating when I say kids are going to be studying him alongside the great composers in 200 years. Among the members, he is the main producer for BTS. RM is the main lyricist. This song is the first in the AgustD trilogy. After this one, you should listen to Haegeum and then Amygdala. This trilogy is a highly personal story. Also, you are doing great. We all struggle with the Korean words and pronunciation. You’ll get there. We won’t judge you. 💜
I can't believe people hang in there until the end! I watch so much UA-cam (moreso than normal TV) but as soon as they start to ask for likes, I bounce because I know it's over (after hitting the like button of course)!
Definitely check out his 2 mixtapes AGUST D, and D-2, and his album D-Day. I just turned 59, found BTS in late 2018. I was a metalhead in high school and college. Its been probably the best 5 years with BTS. So much music, so much lyricism, just phenomenal live performances, (lucky to see them 2x live, and saw Agust D too) love that youre willing to try out sonething new. You will love them. We dont expect you to love or even like all of their songs. Its a great ride though.
Suga is cool 😘💜 his next songs are Haegeum and AMYGDALA. and my favorite Suga song is Snooze. It’s better to make a separate playlist for BTS, it will be more convenient. I think there will be a lot of reactions there💜
So, they say BTS find you when you need them. I feel that’s true. I understand your misconceptions about who they were going to be, because when my teenage and preteen daughters introduced them to me, that’s what I thought I was going to find. As a 47-year-old mother of four horse trainer in Iowa, what possibly could I have in common with BTS. What happened is I realized that they are not just a Music group, they are a ridiculously good group of human beings, who want to make us all better, and they are a revolution in this world. I grew up loving metal and rock, just like you. My first album was Poison followed by Guns N’ Roses. Until last year the best concert I’ve ever seen was Red Hot chili peppers in the third row. Last year had the honor and privilege ( I do not use those words lightly) of seeing Agust D, a.k.a. Suga, aka Min Yoongi live in Chicago. It was the greatest concert I have ever seen by far. He sang, rapped, danced, played guitar, played piano, engaged with us, and changed clothes four times. It was amazing. The talent of these men is sadly lost on the western world, and I’m glad you have found them. I will continue to watch, and I hope you will listen to your suggestions. I suggest Danger, which has some rock influence. But I think you’ll find you love all the music because of the talent level. We purple you.💜
Which Poison album? My first one was Look What the Cat Dragged in and I remember bringing it to school trying to trick my friends in to saying they were beautiful! 🤣😂 I’ve not heard a bad song yet! Really enjoying this journey!💜😎🔥
I grew up with the same bands you mentioned. Saw Poison, Slaughter, Bullet Boys, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Queensrÿche in concert. Never thought I'd end up being a BTS fan, but here I am and I love it! 51 year old mom in TN.
59 year old mom and grandma....and I went to see Suga / Agust D day 2 in Belmont. I have been to several huge name concerts....and no-one compared to Suga. I can only hope that I can score tickets for the next BTS tour. Suga times 7... I cannot imagine!
Yes, there are tons of songs from BTS, their solo albums and mixtapes, so, no rush. Take your time. Every song is fantastic so. You can choose to do random stuff or to listen to them by album or do BTS only or mixtapes or solo albums first. It is a lot. Anyway we are happy to be here with you. Greetings from a 50 yo Army from
60 year old me fell in love with this song and video. BTS videos are what MTV wanted to be. Oh, don't forget about the RunBTS shows you have to catch up on :). I recommend the Guide to BTS by Mari Taylor. It'll give you a good idea of each member's background and role in the group.
Hi! So glad you liked it! My favorite is House of Cards (sadder vocal heavy- must watch live version!). It's about knowing your world is going to crash but wanting to stay in it for just a bit longer. My husband was sick for a bit before he passed, 6 months later I found BTS. That was almost 4 yrs ago. This is going to sound like I'm a nut but they taught me how to breathe again. Anyway, you asked us why a song is our favorite so there it is 😅. Great reaction 🤘💜
I totally get it! My dad listened to a lot of country music of the 70s-90s. I never cared for it but somehow Kenny Rogers was healing after he passed. It happens. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll definitely check that out either here or privately if I think it might give me the sniffles. 💜😎🔥
Oh and those comments that say "he", may also just be us just commenting/talking to one another We like to talk amongst the comments to one another, as well as also to the reactor. Army is a family. And we definitely can talk a lot, I'm sure you have noticed, lol.
Oh yeah. I just try to pop in as much as I can. I laugh when the first or second comment is like "He has no idea what he's getting in to!" and I'm like... me?
This was the first of your reactions suggested to me...but I saved it for last. Why? Because I knew you would love it. I watched all your other BTS member vids first. Daechwita is my absolute fave vid ever. I always say that it's a MASTERPIECE. I never get tired of watching it. Btw, I'm a 58 yr. old metal head & BTS found me during the pandemic. I'm so happy that they found me and I love seeing others discover that BTS is not a boy band lol. I can't wait to see more of your journey! Borahae! 💜💜💜
I love watching people see this for the first time! Normally I don’t make suggestions for other songs, but this was part 1 of a 3 part story by Agust D and you should totally watch the other 2 ASAP. They’re - Haegeum and Amygdala. Since you like going in cold, I’m not gonna tell you what it’s all about or anything right now but Army will tell you in comments. 😅 It’s honestly one of the most impressive and meaningful things I’ve ever seen. I got to see him do all 3 live in New York and my friends and I just absolutely lost it. He’s just as good live as he is in this video, so good!
That’s awesome! I’ve heard amazing things about his live show and production skills. Also, I was forewarned that this was 1/3 of the story so I will fire up the other two. Just gotta space em out a bit so I don’t look like I’m pandering. 🤪💜
There really is no separation when it comes to BTS everything is for everybody it's just that the Army songs are for specifically to Army and muggles (as namjoon once called non-listeners) and baby army may not understand significant meaning and the references within the song if they are just diving in to bts. This song as I'm sure other Army has said is part 1 of an amazing trilogy I recommend you doing the rest of the videos which are haegum and amygdala is the last I recommend doing them Next but warned it gets quite intense! 💜
Just to add to your list: I am German (56y) but live in France 😊 And there will come a moment when you will get to the 'Boyband /Pop' BTS songs ! You have the right not to like that kind of songs. But I am glad you see that our Tanies are great artist , before you get there! 😅
People often like certain music styles. That is okay. That does not mean that there is anything wrong with BTS poppy Pop songs. They also have their message and reason for existing and some of them are deep like "Epiphany" 💜
Dance tunes are typically my least favorite (club style songs) but I can tolerate romantic pop bubblegum if the lyrics or videos keep me engaged. I figured there had to be a few... even rock bands churn out cheesy ballads!
So glad you liked this. This song got me really interested in his solo work. He's just so talented, driven and artistic with an incredible ear for music. I always say he's Yoongi SUGA and Agust D all rolled into one incredible package 💜🐈⬛
I’m glad I like it too. The lyrics are great but what really got me was the production quality of the song, the music and the amazing tie in of old world and new world. Seems talented beyond his years!!! 💜😎🔥
Back again to add to your list! I don't know if anyone has mentioned to you that BTS collaborated with Coldplay for a bilingual track called My Universe. Vocalist Jin also has a solo song called The Astronaut, gifted by Chris Martin, if you'd check out their pop-rock leanings. My Universe was a great collaboration (there's a mini-documentary on UA-cam on that, search Coldplay x BTS Inside My Universe Documentary) and essentially the song is a nice symbolism of how despite being from different sides of the earth, the two groups hold so much sincerity and affection for music and the human spirit!
I have a love/hate relationship with Coldplay. All their radio songs make me miserable but the deeper songs on the albums I REALLY enjoy. I'm sure this may be different enough to really dig in to it! Thanks!!!
@@ReactionsThatRockMy Universe is not one of my favorite song, but I really like the humanity and kindness in Coldplay guy's. They are like BTS in that. They have real love and care to their fans
Suga's lyrics is always fire!!!! When he talk shit or a deeper philosophy n psychology stuff. U will fall in love with his lyrical wise beside his ability to producing, arranging n composing
Suga is a genius, and his soloworks are incredible.. you will love the other two in the same trilogy ( Haegum, Amygdala) and of course Snooze…his lyrics are always with a deep meaning. As BTS, they are often having important messages in their work, and sometimes they just want to chefer us up. Whatever, life is more fun since I found them😉♥️Glad you liked this one🙏❤️
you’re gonna enjoy the mixtape that this song comes from, suga is a very versatile producer and songwriter. some of my all time favs are on this album, moonlight my beloved
ARMY from the Netherlands here! I love your personality and reactions, you're really funny ! Daechwita is part of his thrilogy: Daechwita - Haegum - Amygdala. All are connected with each other. In the first 2 he is battling different parts of himself. Greed, ego, conformation etc. In Amygdala you hear more about his backstory and struggles and it connects to Daechwita and Haegum again. It's all pretty deep and not always easy to all understand from watching it once. But that's basically the case with almost every BTS song. I think that's very important to know when getting into BTS: all their songs have layers upon layers and it goes really freaking deep. Their lyricism is like poetry and there's often multiple meanings. Even their pop songs that at first glance look cheesy have meaning. For example Boy with Love, a collaboration with Halsey, the MV tackles the patriarchy and gender roles in society. It looks cute and bright but there's always a reason for everything they do. People who see that song of BTS first think: that's a typical stupid boyband. The whole group starting out the video in bright pink clothes :P But there's always reason and meaning. My fav songs of BTS? I have many but I cry every time I hear 'Spring Day' (if you watch that, then watch the Italianarmy explaination video with it bc it's really freaking deep - warning, tears guaranteed). I also LOVE LOVE LOVE 'First love' from Suga. They both make me emotional. I also really like V's Singularity. And I love Outro: Tear (live version). If you want to see some live performances, you can check out their tiny desk concert, bts festa or Run BTS and mic drop from their Busan concert. V also has a good tiny desk concert with songs from his latest album Layover. J-hope's Lollapalooza concert is amazing. Jin was a guest at a concert of Coldplay last year before enlisting, watch Chris Martin's introduction speech and then the footage of the concert, they performed the song Astronaut together, song is written by Coldplay for Jin. Just have fun with the ride tbh, I've been doing this stuff daily for many months now and I still haven't gone through all of their work. If you want to know more about the members, watch Taylor's guide A guide to BTS: the Bangtan 7. 💜
Thank you so much for all of this! I can’t lie, the compliments are my favorite part but the recommendations are awesome too! I’ve taken a screenshot so I can be sure to get to some of these! 💜🔥😎
@@ReactionsThatRock haha you seem like a genuine person and army loves that and sticks around for that and I often have to giggle during your reactions. Just be honest if you don't like sth, as long as it's respectful and without prejudice about the boys, it's totally fine.
Hi from Kazakhstan! 💜💜💜 Спасибо за реакции на BTS! Они замечательные. Ты не пожалеешь., что узнал о них! Мои любимые песни: Mic Drop, Black Swan, Loyder than bombs, UGH, Run BTS, Pied Piper, Wild Flower by RM, AMYGDALA by Suga, Serendipity by Jimin.
I think you're my first from Kazakhstan! Welcome! I've heard great things about Wild Flower and Mic Drop. I'll have to listen to those as well as the others! Thanks! По-моему, ты мой первый из Казахстана! Добро пожаловать! Я слышал много хорошего о Wild Flower и Mic Drop. Мне придется выслушать их так же, как и остальных! Спасибо!
This song is pronounced. ‘Day-che-tah’ 😊Then it will be ‘Hay-Guum’ next Part way through and I’m glad you like Suga! He’s my bias and ai love how raw he can be though he’s known to be so kind and sweet and caring and really listens to people on the inside. Probably why I like hime so much! I love the others equally so I still call myself OT7 ( One True Seven meaning you like all of them equally) 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜👏👏🇨🇦Oh! You saw More by J-Hope! I’ll have to find that!
You are amazing!! Love watching you. They are writers, producers, singer, dancers and all around performers. Individually they are as dangerous as they are as 7. I am 63, an ARMY and can't wait for 2025. PS you are an ARMY now!.♾️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️💕
I'm and ARMY am 48 and begin and ARMY since 2016 and before BTS I was a full heavy metal and some rock but bts TO ME IS ON ANOTHER LVL THAT NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO....
Suga/Agust D is so versatile in his music. There was a lot of anger in him in the beginning. His self titled track Agust D is shit talking his haters from start to finish. I giggled all the way through it because I couldn’t believe some of stuff they let him put in that song. But he also is very open and honest about his struggles with mental health. His song The Last is heartbreaking in the beginning. It’s referencing a mental breakdown he had that resulted in BTS having to cancel a show. He felt horrible guilt and shame for it. He was also struggling with still being called a sellout for becoming an idol. The song does have a good ending. A lot of his songs have personal stories in them. His latest album shows so much growth, strength, maturity, and forgiveness. Snooze is an incredible song dedicated to the idols coming up behind him. He’s saying to them what he wishes someone would have said to him and BTS as they were coming up. Idol life is hard and a few have taken their own lives because of it. He doesn’t want anyone else to suffer like that or the way he did for years.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Rap - a little late to the party, I know. But never-the-less, Suga (aka Agust-D - pronounced like the month) I love and adore. You need to know their history more to understand where and why some of their diss songs were made. But, you'll get there. BTW - Daewichta is played for the king when he arrives, like Hail to the Chief is played for our president.
Aaah. So the video really does fit the song. I dig it! I’m not much of a rap guy (at all!). I have some appreciation for old school rap but it’s so hard for me to get in to today’s rap. My wife likes some of it so it’s inescapable. This was really enjoyable and I was surprised that I actually liked it.
thank you for watching this! 🇵🇭 BTS' discography is sooooo vast im sure you would like most of their songs. english subs are available and some songs need explanations bec of the cultural references and wordplays. 🤯
@@ReactionsThatRock im happy to hear that!! dont be overwhelmed with ARMYs requests.. but BTS has a lot of content released, ive been ARMY since 2018 and i havent watched everything! ive learned to love rap after i discovered BTS. 💜 and their songs really helped me when i struggling with life a few years ago.
Suga writes his own material. AgustD is a persona he created for his anger. He went through a lot of shit in his youth, but he just kept bottling it up until he made AgustD to spew all his venom. BTS is heavily influenced by hip-hop so you mentioning BelBivDeVoe was a good thing. Suga, RM and J-Hope are the main songwriters and Suga is also a producer. Almost 47 year old me absolutely loves the fire he spews, and that's missing from a lot of music these days. (I have a birthday in a few weeks here. Man, where does the time go!?) And just a side note... Jin gets out of the military in June. J-Hope gets out in October. The rest get out June of next year.
So many favorites but "Dis-Ease" is one of my top of the tops. B side so no MV. But I never skip it when it comes up on the play list. Thanks for checking out our guys. 💜
Isn't lovely, that phase when you feel it's overwhelming, the number of things you can watch/listen to... I've been there lol it took me two whole years to catch up. I am an ARMY since 2016, so I was three years behind. Even when they are in their 'hiatus', they keep on giving. They are in the military now, but hey, we have sooo many content we can digest up to 2025. So, good luck hohoho. Btw, welcome to the family, Big Dude. Purple ya.
It really is lovely! I’ve spent the last 5 or so years just putting on the same old Pandora playlist and the same old local rock station and the same old CDs because newer rock wasn’t speaking to me and I didn’t have the patience to try any other genre. I went from having nothing to listen to to having everything to listen to and I’m hoping to get as much done while they’re away! 💜😎🔥
Thank you! Had a blast watching this. Also liked to hear your story about taking martial arts lessons, very cool. There is a behind the scenes video for a lot of their videos, they wre really nice to watch and you truly learn a lot about the process, etc.... For example I know in the Behind the scenes video for the making of this mv, they show Suga learning to use that sword, etc.... So you also get to understand that that is all real in the video. Suga had to learn to use the sword and than do the choreo for those scenes using the sword as well. It is very interesting to watch. Infact just a little info, BTS uses green screen I'm sure but not all that much compared to what some may nwturally assume. I know of videos where they had explosions that were real, one were Suga sat infront of a fire, Jhope had a buch of real fire and had real explotions in his video Arson. Etc..., etc.... Mowt all these things are among the stuff you get to qctually see how it was truly done, by watching the behind the scenes videos. Those videos are usually called "Bangtan B0mbs." I think you can find most of them for free on Bangtan TV, it is a youtube channel. Oh and you may want to make sure to show the opening where they show that it is a Bighit video, I habe been told that doing that is how you can keep from getting it blocked or what not. Now I'm not a hundred percent sure if this is still accurate, so you may want to ask others, or just try and make sure to always show that opening credit for official mv's. BTS and BigHit are usually pretty good about letting their videos be used though. Thanks again💜
Thats fantastic! I imagine 90% of all videos use levels of green screen and special effects, but as a rock and roll pyromaniac, I'm pretty good at telling real fire/explosions from digital ones. That's also really awesome to hear he put the work in learning! Thanks for that tip about the BigHit video. It's odd because some of these get tagged and some don't. Perhaps this is why!
Suga is my favorite BTS member! 💜 He is just a genius and all he does is incredible! All his solo albums are amazing, not a single bad or weak song. BTS is way better than the typical boy bands! I can’t wait for your reactions to all of them together ☺️💜🙌🏻
I’ve been noticing. Just incredible stuff! I have RM coming up this week and then think I may finish the trilogy and then jump in the full group. So much catching up to do!!!
If you say DESH_IH_TAH you won’t be far off the pronunciation he uses in the song. Daechwita translates to ‘great blowing and hitting’ and is traditional military music used to announce the presence of the King. It’s sampled throughout the track. I would definitely recommend watching an explanation video or two for this masterpiece. Probably the DKDKTV and Bookish Theories ones, which bring out different elements. There’s a huge amount of historical, cultural and personal reference packed into the song and video. Since you’re on this path, you could carry on with the Agust D trilogy. The next song/video is ‘Haegeum’, followed by ‘Amygdala’ (which lays out some of the personal trauma that led to the ‘birth’ of his Agust D persona). If you want to explore his solo work further, there are three Agust D albums: Agust D (2016), D-2 (2020) and D-Day (2023). For a small taste of BTS as a whole, I’d suggest ‘Black Swan’, followed by ‘ON: Kinetic Manifesto’. They may seem very different from each other but they’re actually closely related, ON being a kind of thematic sequel to Black Swan. I will say though, it is going to take a while for you to really get a sense of just how diverse and deep the group’s discography is. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks for reacting! I am the same age as you and absolutely love BTS, have been army since 2017. They are so amazing, I don't even have adequate words to describe my love for them. They have changed my life, I've made new friends because of them, and recently I even traveled to Korea and got to visit the place where this video was filmed! Keep watching their MVs, I think you will really love them. Their music is amazing!
Thats amazing! I've always had a love of Korea having taken Taekwondo as a kid. That's a bucket list trip for sure! I'm honestly so blown away by how WRONG I was about what type of music they made. I really thought it was going to all be boy band pop.
@@ReactionsThatRock I also was wrong at first. My daughter started listening to them but never around me. When she would ask me to play it in the car, I said no because I thought it was going to be bubble gum music. Then I heard Mic Drop, couldn't believe it, and fell down the rabbit hole looking up everything I could find.
I love when newer reactors find BTS thinking they are nothing more than a poppy boyband and their minds get completely blown when they realize they are The Super Group Of The World!!! 😎I've been a loyal Army since I first heard their song Save Me when it came out. Liked your reaction, Thank you for reacting. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
"Tell me what is ur favorite song" Hmm... this will be a very very very long answer if i have to list my favorite song from BTS n tbeir solo project 😂😂😂 it's a loooottttttt especially for their side track song is all fire 🔥 But if u asked which song that finally makes me become their fan, it's was "Tomorrow" (and from that song, Suga become my bias too. Bias means u most favorite one). I like all members, but my most favorite one is Suga. Why? Just because he is the one who produce n writing for that song 😆 Suga said, he write 'tomorrow' when he was still in high school, but at that time the lyrcs is more darker since he fell in depression phase at that time. In 2014, that song get choosen to include in BTS album, then he change a bit the lyrics n melody to be more brighter than the original, to give a sense of hope behind the darkness. And the message of that song, really help me to go through my depression state. My most favorite line from tomorrow lyrics that give me a bit hope n strength is : "Because the dawn right before the sunrise is the darkest" "When the dark night passes, A bright morning will come" I seriously didnt expected with that simple lyrics can help me n remind myself that the dawn right before the sunrise is the darkest time. So, dont give up from the darkness. Coz there is no eternal darkness just like there is no eternal light. That's life.
My favorite song? Here, hold my coffee. Lemme get that black book of mine. #proceed to pull the thick black book out of my bag which has aaaaall BTS songs as group and solo project. Yup, I love even stuff that are not in the record like Arirang and Otsukare or those advertisement stuffs
Don't know if anyone else told you that Jin and Jk are in the video, they are the two in the beginning that bump in to SUGA and start fighting behind him.. Love this song sooo much
Here's a fun fact: BTS performed Daechwita live as a whole group in one of their online concerts. Each one had a chance to rap part of the song while Suga was just chilling on the throne. And they also put whole theatre play with costumes and background. I think camera catched a few times where Suga almost lost it at how goofy they all looked. Until Agust D solo tour last year it was the only time this song (or any song from Suga's mixtapes except maybe Tony Montana) has been performed live. Also in the MV, where he bumped into a man and then two men started to fight in the background - that were Jin and Jungkook.😅 They often appear in each other MV's.
Also, did you heard about Dir en grey? They are Japanese nu-metal (I think) band and they are phenomenal. I wrote "i think" because they don't really stick to one rock/metal genre, so you figure it out yourself. They are one of my favourite bands. Saw them live in 2020. What an experience. I literally have their poster side by side with BTS poster on my wall, lol. (I consider myself metalhead, but I really just enjoy good music in any genre. My top three artists are Dir en grey, BTS and Aurora, lol). If you will decide to react to Dir en grey, I recommend to start with Vinushka from Androgynous live. They are really better live. Kaya's channel has this video with English subtitles. I really want you to continue to BTS, but I understand you need to mix it with other music to not become BTS' reaction channel. It's okay. And Dir en grey can be great addition to your journey of exploring new artists.
@@ReactionsThatRock idk if UA-cam will allow it, but here's the link to the performance I mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/BVhAVHcu-r0/v-deo.htmlsi=_Gn0FINMzYK0uMHM
My favorite BTS song (at this moment...could change tomorrow 😅) is 'We On'. There's no music video for it, just a live from a long time ago. There's lyric videos too. But my favorite rapline (RM, Suga& JHope) song is "Ugh". English lyrics with their live performance is below ua-cam.com/video/DpyXMPfTJ8k/v-deo.htmlsi=w1rvd7zPTKz-DnK0
Great reaction. It would be great for you to watch the explanation video. (On your own) Suga does quite a bit more than trash talk. There are a lot of cultural references & this song has more layers to it. DKDKTV has a great one. Borahae 💜
@ReactionsThatRock I'm really glad to hear that. I love history too. That tells me so much about your personality. You will enjoy your journey with the Bangtan boys . Their music is multifaceted. Quite a few of their songs have explanation videos. I am a new sub & I love your energy.! 💜
This song has layered meaning. Besides a celebration of his success it has lots of Korean cultural references, and a Daechwita played at the beginning. It's also part of a trilogy which is the story of his mental health journey through his trauma. He is healing and conquering different aspects of himself, his shadows. In this MV he is conquering his rage, paranoia and isolation (in the Mad King.) The scar represents his trauma. It is more raw and fresh on the Mad King and more healed on Peasant Agust D (Agust D is Suga Backwards, plus DT for Deagu Town, his hometown and the name of his original underground rap crew before BTS.) Other Agust D to check out: Agust D Give It To Me Interlude: Shadow Burn It People (Try it live from his D-Day world tour) People Pt 2 First Love and the rest of the trilogy: Haegeum and Amygdala.
I appreciate you reading the comments. Love your intro speech, you're so funny! It's hard for me to pick a favorite BTS song. It's like, every song they release is my new favorite, which means my latest favorite is "wherever u r" by Umi, ft. V of BTS. It's a gentle acoustic songs by two beautiful voices. And just yesterday, a popular Korean singer/actress, IU, released her song, "Love Wins All", with V as her co-star in the MV. Such a heart-breakingly beautiful story and top-notch acting by both stars. Everyone is crying over the MV right now. Yes, I teared up as well when I first watched it. But let me talk about Agust D since this is a reaction to his song. First off, like others have said, this is the first MV in his trilogy. So I hope you'll react to the next MVs soon, "Haegeum" and "Amygdala". Remember the scar, that's all I have to say about it. Second, so far he's the only member who has done a solo tour, and what a tour it was! Phenomenal. It was in April through August last year, but the performances have stayed with me to this day, they were that impactful. I still rewatch them and never get tired of it. My latest obsession is his performance of "Life Goes On", where he sings and plays the piano (the performance edit video from BTSPurpleYou is a good one). Thank you for your reaction, from an 47-year-old Indonesian.
Now that you are on ARMY's radar, there will be no way to keep up with the comments. We can be a feral bunch but we are also the most supportive and we will gladly help guide your journey down the BTS rabbit hole. We love to watch someone enjoy our guys and fall in love with their music so don't worry about your videos being too long. Once you get into the live performances your vids will be an hour minimum and we will be here for it. I enjoyed your reaction and you just gained a new subscriber so I can follow along with your journey. Keep it up dude, you are doing great!!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I didn’t realize how overwhelmed it would be with 1700ish subs. Can’t imagine trying to keep up if I grow! Yikes!!! 🤪💜
Suga he’s a massive basketball fan and it’s a name he picked because of his favourite position which is shooting guard. Agust D is Suga + DT (Daegu Town) spelled backwards. 💜
Okay, the FULL 2016 BTS MAMA performance!!!!! It doesn't have subtitles; 2 full songs in this performance are Blood, Sweat, and Tears & Fire!!!! Both MVs are beautiful and have subtitles!
I read this as “Blood, Sweat and Tears and Fire” and was wondering what the other song was. 😂🤣 It’s late, I need sleep but I’ll definitely check those out!
@@ReactionsThatRock Both songs are 2015 releases: --Fire, about teen, youth angst with social expectations and their revolt/response - harder hip-hop rock vibe --Blood, Sweat & Tears, about loss of teen, youth innocence in falling into the temptation of a "bad" love. V plays a fallen angel tempting Jin, with softer classical dance vibe
Hi dear. 68yo Army(BTS fan) here. So...we don't have to keep telling you to watch "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" by Taylor Mari anymore? Whew...that's a relief....that's a lot of typing.
@@ReactionsThatRockI am 61 year old new Army and the guide is a must for us newbies. You will love it! I never get tired of watching new reactions to the guide. 💜
Something you may not know: Yesterday the member V is in a music video by famous female solo artist IU called Love Wins All. V isn't singing this time but the MV is a big deal since we get to see him act again and see those two friends be on a project together. Would love to see your reaction to the storyline and music 😊💜
@@ReactionsThatRock There is so much content and some may just be in your off time, not for reaction. You do have quite a bit of time till they are al out though.
An ot7 (whole group) song i think you'd enjoy is Come Back Home, it's a remake/interpolation of the song by Seo Taji and the boys. I'm curious if you will hear what i heard 😅 the first time i listened to it i said out loud to myself "what in the (band's name) is going on here" some more ot7 songs i recommend as someone who also came from a rock background is Dionysus, and the og Mic Drop.
@ReactionsThatRock here's a color coded lyrics video. All the live ones seem to cut off the beginning of the song. Looking forward to the reaction! ua-cam.com/video/8x8KCeb2ws8/v-deo.htmlsi=DhzgbfjSIgNgZU58
Well Daechwita is one of my favourite songs. I also love Hip Hop Lover, and very different Crystal Snow. By the way, Jin will come out of the army this June, so only 5 months to wait for his gorgeous voice.
All 7 will seep into you heart and soul but SUGA will enter your mind. He is so brilliant. He produces for other artists in Korea. Here's a tid bit for you; Suga, AgustD, Min Yoongi, Yoongi and Lil Meow Meow! These are the names ARMY uses when their are talking about SUGA. When Daechwita came out, I wished the Grammy's took Korean music more seriously because to me, this was the Song & Video of the YEAR.
@@ReactionsThatRock I know this about Grammy's but for some reason the general public thinks that the Grammy's are the cream de la cream of all the award shows. Thanks for the pep talk.
Agust D is a great producer who has always absolutely killed it at integrating traditional instruments into his works as a producer across many genres (he's so good, one of his nicknames has been the hand of midas for how he can make anything gold). It's more than likely not your style, but Autumn Leaves (aka Dead Leaves) also demonstrates this. Along with some insane not common chord patterns and progressions and circular synths that aren't common in modern music. However! That's not a must. I just adore it as a musician bc it's put together so insanely well, lyrically, production wise, instrumentally, etc. Thank you for always being honest in your reactions and giving thoughts to it. It's refreshing and I appreciate the honesty because nobody always loves all their music across the genres 1000%, but when you do, your honesty makes it all the better and more joyful for me as a watcher, because someone else truly loves a piece of music that I love.
You don’t ever have to worry about recommending songs that aren’t “my style”. So much of what I’ve been listening to isn’t my taste or style (or at least what I thought wasn’t) but I’m really enjoying this musical journey and have been blown away by how much music I thought I’d hate and ended up really enjoying (such as BTS and James Blount!). I’m not sure I have a style anymore… and if you look at my attire, you might argue I never did. 🤣😂
BTS will susprise and stun you every time. I think that most (not everyone) of the western fans at one point felt exactly like you when you say you had misconceptions. Please keep going on your BTS journey and we will follow. My favourite BTS songs ( very hard to choose ) are : Make it Right, Mikrokosmos, Dynamite, The Truth Untold, I need you, Spring day, Black Swan, Fake Love, and Mic Drop. There are soooo many more, but those are my tops. I did not incIude their solo songs though. I wonder which ones will be yours. I just subscribed cause I’m interested in your BTS journey 💜
SUGA (Shoo-ga) for Shooting Guard. His favorite position in Basket Ball. Agust D does sound like the month. And AGUST D - is SUGA backwards and DT for Daegu Town (Backwards). *AGUS* T D
You now must complete the trilogy.
*Suga aka Agust D's Trilogy:*
Agust D - Daechwita
Agust D - Haegeum (turn on CC's) - ua-cam.com/video/iy9qZR_OGa0/v-deo.html
Agust D - Amygdala (turn on CC's) - ua-cam.com/video/IX1dkYoLHVs/v-deo.html
*Meanings for the song titles*
*Daechwita* - is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while the ARMY is marching or as a static performance usually when the King is arriving. (Suga aka Agust D meant the BTS ARMY to be implied.)
*Haegeum* - has two meanings. The first, it's a traditional Korean string instrument, resembling a vertical fiddle with two strings, usually played at Royal Court. Also, it means to lift a ban, or release what is forbidden.
*Amygdala* - is an almond shaped part of our brain which is commonly thought to form the core of a neural system for processing fearful and threatening stimuli, including detection of threat and activation of our fight or flight response. The amygdala helps to store memories of events and emotions so that an individual may be able to recognize similar events in the future.
Awesome info! I’ve pinned this so other noobies can learn and also so I can do the trilogy in the right order!!! 💜🔥😎
@@ReactionsThatRock Thank you, I'm glad I can be helpful. I look forward to your Haegeum reaction next 😉💜
Suggestion while watching most BTS KOREAN songs: listen THREE times! 1st for vibe, scenes, 2nd for translation & 3rd altogether, OTHERWISE, you MISS so much. There’s DEEP MEANINGS IN EVERYTHING BTS/individual members write/sing. Research those after each song if meaning is unclear or seems surface because it’s NEVER what it seems!
@@ReactionsThatRockthere are behind the scene for every music video, an explanation by korean at DKDK TV for this song and others, interview with suga about this song too.
There are two member as cameo in this mv too. I purple you
@@noviaprabawanti6089 good to know! I purple you too!
Here's a tip: ARMYs are okay with long reactions. We love long reactions. We love it when a reactor watches the video over and over again, pausing, digesting, analyzing. It's okay. We watch those videos a hundred times and there's always something new to enjoy. BTS's songs are mostly very deep in meaning and symbolism.
Im happy to hear that! I can be quite a chatterbox so I always try to keep these under 12 minutes.
I’ll keep this in mind and maybe slow it down a bit for digestion!
@@ReactionsThatRockWe literally watched butter melt for an hour 🙃
@@tingtingboll I get it! My wife once put on a Cedar Rapids weather cam. We watched it for about 2 hours.
We have no ties to Cedar Rapids. 🤣😂
@@tingtingbollthat was such a fun morning! 💜🧈
@@ReactionsThatRockOooh please chat as long as you’d like, we appreciate it. Everyone finds their own interpretation of bts songs, and there’s lot’s of room for that, bts want people to interpret freely and relate in their own way. Take your time
My head cannon is that somebody made the mistake of telling Suga that the only reason they were successful is because they were "too western" and Suga said "hold my beer" and came out with Daechwita (traditional military music for the king) and Haegum (a traditional musical instrument).
That's perfect! I love it!! 💜💜💜
Makes sense to me! I loved how untraditionally traditional it was!
That is such an old narrative that the members have been confronted with since "forever".
Even Army (I don't mean you - either of you) sometimes falls for and in those anti-narratives instead of accepting them as the multidimensional artist they are.
"This is the music we want to make: f* that!"
One of BTS answers to that was BTW "Idol".
I remember watching a (new) reactor commenting on "D.N.A."'s lyrics and how "over the top" they are not realizing that this is on purpose.
This is after all the beginning of a 3 album conceptline of the "Love Yourself" era and shows the beginning of a "perfect" love relationship that inevitably destroys itself while also giving us later the answer to why that is.
I think Suga said he puts "traps" into his song - if you feel triggered you should reflect on why that is - because he has stopped caring about his haters years ago ("Cypher Pt. 4" is an anthem).
Fun Fact:
It's absolutly funny how Suga makes fun of Bang PD ("Hitman" Bang - their boss) in a tongue-in-cheek way:
The drawing that is a callback to Jungkook's drawing of Bang with the big nose *and* the way Suga dances in that part - immitating how the man vibes when he hears music he likes - something that will never not be funny.
You nice! Keep going! 💜
I want to correct. In Suga's case it was "hold my whisky", lol.
I think there's some truth to that. 😁 And he definitely loved the challenge of using traditional instruments in this and Haegeum.
ARMY is everywhere 🤣 There's even one of us in Antarctica 🥶😂
How awesome!! 💜
I got cold just thinking about that! Say HI to the penguins (or Abominable Snowpeople).
Hi from Norway @@ReactionsThatRock
And snowy Sweden! 🫶
If anyone is curious about this: there was an ARMY account on Twitter which showed in a world map the geographical origin of tweets using BTS-related hashtags whenever a new song / album / content was released, and there was often a little purple dot lighting up in that continent
"He has a lot catching up to"
"Yes, he does. I am he"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A direct result of me still trying to keep up with every comment!!! 💜😎🔥
Daechwita stands on its own and blew me away on first listen. Then I watched Daechwita Explained by a Korean on DKDKTV and gained a whole depth of appreciation for the lyrics. As a westerner, I didn't get all the cultural references, and double entendres that could have deepened my experience.
Ooooh I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone suggested the explanation video lol😂
Agree! Its worth watching the explanation to fully understand the genius of the lyrics esp in the context of Korean history and Suga's personal history. It will also prepare you better to watch the next 2 songs in this trilogy (Haegum, Amygdala)
I was looking through to see if some one mentioned the explanation viedo.
I do always go in to these blind. It’s an effort to recreate that old “first time hearing it on the radio” experience. I hate said, sounds like I definitely need to check out the explanation! Thanks! 💜🔥😎
@ReactionsThatRock Since you prefer going into them completely blind, I'd suggest mentioning that at the top as your preference and saying not to worry, you'll dig in after 😁
Just to head off a flood of well-intentioned comments
40yo ARMY from Belgium here. As a metalhead, I was also very surprise when I fell in the BTS rabbit hole. I love them since.
There is songs for every mood, for every day, for everybody, and they sound so good live! Some stages are even in the roch side! So I can't really choose my fav...
Glad that you are open minded and willing to explore their artistry. Enjoy and have fun 💜
Is it rude of me to say I love your waffles? Do they even do Belgian Waffles is Belgium or is that just another thing the US did with a wanna be international flair? (We’re good at doing that!)
Seriously though, I’m soooo shocked that I’ve pushed them away this long. I’ve had so many friends tell me I HAD to check them out and I just stuck my head in the sand! 💜🔥😎
@@ReactionsThatRock It's not rude at all! I even like to say that I live in Waffle in reference to a joke by Jin, one of the members of BTS.
We have different types of waffles in Belgium, all delicious (we just don't call them Belgian)
Before discovering them, I had the same prejudice. Now I can say I never love a group this much.

Oh, I'm a 54 yo ARMY from Denmark, put a pin on that as well 😄🇩🇰
Btw, you should check out the explanation video for Daechwita. You will be blown away from the genius that is Suga (yes, like sugar without the r)

And now I will stop replying, cause I don't want you to get a divorce 🙄
Great reactions. SUGA is pronounced, Shoo ga. He is an avid basketball fan. His favorite position is Shooting Guard, so he used the first two syllables of Shooting and Guard. Now, Agust D is Suga backwards plus Dt for Dague town where he is from. This song is actually part of a trilogy. Daechwita, Haegeum, and lastly Amygdala. He plays both the protagonist and antagonist in the videos. It's somewhat a battle between his alter egos. Honestly, the BTS rappers don't come to play, they go hard. They have several diss tracks too. SUGA & RM took alot of shit from the underground rap community, telling them they sold out to become idols. They also said they sucked as rappers and they would never make it. Well we all know who got the last laugh. 💜
OMG! THIS right here is why I need these comments! I really thought it was just Sugar without the r (as rappers are known to do!).
This is so much more depth that anticipated. Once again, these guys blow me away! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock It's funny bc when other rappers try to diss bts they often say 'Sugar' like he's some sweet thing that will melt away. He totally eats them alive though.
Great explaination
Min Yoongi/Suga/Agust D played basketball his position was shooting guard
@@sugakookie7985
He is also the NBA ambassador.
My favorite song is Tomorrow -- writen by Suga, performed by the whole group.
Many others love the song, too but there's no music video for it, and it's older, so newer ARMY are sometimes not even aware of it. :)
Sounds like one to pull off of Spotify and just enjoy in private! Thanks so much! 💜😎🔥
I not army but i know tomorrow and another song
Tomorrow is such a fantastic song! Took me a while to come across it when I was new ARMY.
Love Tomorrow it's one of my favorites 💜
@@ReactionsThatRock Just wanted to say that the perform Tomorrow live on a roof top and it's my favorite rendition of the song. It's with a live band, so it has a different feel than the studio track. Also had some great lyrics, but the video of the live performance doesn't have subtitles, so I'd suggest using doolsetbangtan to understand them.
He’s known for being a ridiculously talented producer. His beats are unique and creative. Here he used Daechwita samples which is the traditional instruments you hear as the backbone. As Daechwita is traditionally military music used to announce a king it’s a double meaning he’s announcing himself a king on top. He also fights the part of himself that is greedy wants power etc by trying to ground himself as a man of the people a rebel getting back to his roots. The video and lyrics have tons of callouts to historical Korean events tying into using Daechwita music. It’s a genius level song/MV and it’s all him. All this for a FREE mixtape and he paid out of pocket to make the MV. Who does that??? He does.
Almost 50 here and my former favorite bands were Tool and Rage Against the Machine. The way I am impressed musically lyrically video wise has kept me from ever being bored. Plus social and personal layers of deep meeting. BTS can blow you away if you just give them a chance. Enjoy!
Wow! That’s a heavy dose of information! Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it! 💜🔥😎
Dude,I'm 66 and an Army since 2014, so you're still a baby. Love your reactions. You are very cool. You have no idea what you have jumped into. To me, Bts is the greatest band of my time, and individually, they are very impressive. As nice as the Taylor guide is, you have to watch The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by Rice Squad, the extended version.
Compliments earn points! For what, I do not know. 🤣
I’ve got SO much catching up to do! Define looking forward to cramming in as much as I can!!! 💜😎🔥
If you like the trash talk, they cyphers are a great listen. There are 4 of them and they get better with each one. Cypher 3 is one of my favorites, especially the live from Busan concert. Honestly, they are one of the best live performers out there. Their videos are all amazing, they take the time and effort to put out some beautiful videos. And yep ARMY will all show up to see reactions. We love it when someone finds BTS and are honest with their reactions. And this is just a small sample of their work. RM and Suga received a lot of backlash from other rappers because they are idols, but if you do watch the Taylor Mari video, she covers it. That video is amazing as she gives you background on the boys with samples of their music. Also if you want a snap shot of some of their songs, watch their Festa 2021. They all sit relaxed and sing about a minute of some of their songs (about 7 songs). hope you are having fun down there rabbit hole.
Ooh I’m definitely going to have to check out the Cyphers and more! Thank you so much for all the info and recommendations! 💜🔥😎
I am a 75 BTS Army I love all their music . 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love that!!! 💜😎🔥
Suga is the real deal. He’s raw and raps with so much emotion and conviction. Besides Eminem he is my favorite rapper. KILLS it everytime. He is not afraid to tell it like it is and that’s what makes him such a phenomenal artist. He produces his own music and is a freakin lyrical genius. BTS as a whole group are not your “typical” boy band. They are the biggest Group in the world. I could go on and on lol. Just sit back and be amazed by our guys.
Honestly it was so much better than I had anticipated. The trash talk threw me and I loved it!!!
Suga is the KING of trash talk, and I love it too! If you want to hear a more intro perspective song of his, I'd recommend "The Last" By AGUST D. He's known to talk about some very heavy subjects that have happened to him personally. But my god, its always amazing. Love your reactions! Thanks for keeping such an open mind. I PURPLE YOU! 💜
Happy to be purpled! I'll be sure to check out The Last. I'm always a fan of auto-biographical songs. Really take us for an emotional ride!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock yes exactly! He really knows how to take you there, to that level. I cried listening to it. So be prepared!
Hi! I LOVED your video and am a die hard BTS Army. I am also a 74 year old American woman who has been living in Europe for 35 years. The first nine in Northern Germany, the last 26 in Sweden with my Swedish husband. I discovered BTS in 2017 and watch something BTS related every day. Hey, I’m retired and frankly I think it’s a great hobby 🤣. Welcome to our vast rabbit hole. I purple you 🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You’ve gone global!!! 🤪
Enjoy retirement! Sounds nice! 💜😎🔥
I can’t believe you pulled out Tony the Tiger. 😂😂
Suga is a musical genius. I’m not exaggerating when I say kids are going to be studying him alongside the great composers in 200 years. Among the members, he is the main producer for BTS. RM is the main lyricist.
This song is the first in the AgustD trilogy. After this one, you should listen to Haegeum and then Amygdala. This trilogy is a highly personal story.
Also, you are doing great. We all struggle with the Korean words and pronunciation. You’ll get there. We won’t judge you. 💜
I can't believe people hang in there until the end! I watch so much UA-cam (moreso than normal TV) but as soon as they start to ask for likes, I bounce because I know it's over (after hitting the like button of course)!
Definitely check out his 2 mixtapes AGUST D, and D-2, and his album D-Day. I just turned 59, found BTS in late 2018. I was a metalhead in high school and college. Its been probably the best 5 years with BTS. So much music, so much lyricism, just phenomenal live performances, (lucky to see them 2x live, and saw Agust D too) love that youre willing to try out sonething new. You will love them. We dont expect you to love or even like all of their songs. Its a great ride though.
It’s an amazing ride!!! I’m also blown away by the variety I’ve head. Four singers and four TOTALLY different sounds!! 💜😎🔥
Suga is cool 😘💜 his next songs are Haegeum and AMYGDALA. and my favorite Suga song is Snooze.
It’s better to make a separate playlist for BTS, it will be more convenient. I think there will be a lot of reactions there💜
I think that’s a solid plan! BTS Playlist will be up tonight! Thanks!!! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock make sure you watch those next two in the order that this commenter listed. 💜
Also loving Snooze, and First Love.
@@judyburgess3357First Love is so special 💜
So, they say BTS find you when you need them. I feel that’s true. I understand your misconceptions about who they were going to be, because when my teenage and preteen daughters introduced them to me, that’s what I thought I was going to find. As a 47-year-old mother of four horse trainer in Iowa, what possibly could I have in common with BTS. What happened is I realized that they are not just a Music group, they are a ridiculously good group of human beings, who want to make us all better, and they are a revolution in this world. I grew up loving metal and rock, just like you. My first album was Poison followed by Guns N’ Roses. Until last year the best concert I’ve ever seen was Red Hot chili peppers in the third row. Last year had the honor and privilege ( I do not use those words lightly) of seeing Agust D, a.k.a. Suga, aka Min Yoongi live in Chicago. It was the greatest concert I have ever seen by far. He sang, rapped, danced, played guitar, played piano, engaged with us, and changed clothes four times. It was amazing. The talent of these men is sadly lost on the western world, and I’m glad you have found them. I will continue to watch, and I hope you will listen to your suggestions. I suggest Danger, which has some rock influence. But I think you’ll find you love all the music because of the talent level. We purple you.💜
Which Poison album? My first one was Look What the Cat Dragged in and I remember bringing it to school trying to trick my friends in to saying they were beautiful! 🤣😂
I’ve not heard a bad song yet! Really enjoying this journey!💜😎🔥
I grew up with the same bands you mentioned. Saw Poison, Slaughter, Bullet Boys, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Queensrÿche in concert. Never thought I'd end up being a BTS fan, but here I am and I love it! 51 year old mom in TN.
@@ReactionsThatRock Yes! Look What The Cat Dragged In!
59 year old mom and grandma....and I went to see Suga / Agust D day 2 in Belmont. I have been to several huge name concerts....and no-one compared to Suga. I can only hope that I can score tickets for the next BTS tour. Suga times 7... I cannot imagine!
Thanks for the reaction. You‘re not old. There‘s no age for liking music. 52 years old ARMY from Berlin sends love. 💜
💜😎🔥
Yes, there are tons of songs from BTS, their solo albums and mixtapes, so, no rush. Take your time. Every song is fantastic so. You can choose to do random stuff or to listen to them by album or do BTS only or mixtapes or solo albums first. It is a lot. Anyway we are happy to be here with you. Greetings from a 50 yo Army from
I appreciate it! Im hoping to do a few more solo tunes then jump in to the group. I guess we’ll see!
Agust D is fire. I would be a fan even if I didn’t know about BTS
Yeah. He’s incredible! Thinking I need to finish the trilogy!
60 year old me fell in love with this song and video. BTS videos are what MTV wanted to be. Oh, don't forget about the RunBTS shows you have to catch up on :). I recommend the Guide to BTS by Mari Taylor. It'll give you a good idea of each member's background and role in the group.
I've got SO much work to do!!! I'm definitely getting to the guide. Just gotta find the time to make it happen! Thanks!
Hi! So glad you liked it! My favorite is House of Cards (sadder vocal heavy- must watch live version!). It's about knowing your world is going to crash but wanting to stay in it for just a bit longer. My husband was sick for a bit before he passed, 6 months later I found BTS. That was almost 4 yrs ago. This is going to sound like I'm a nut but they taught me how to breathe again. Anyway, you asked us why a song is our favorite so there it is 😅. Great reaction 🤘💜
I totally get it! My dad listened to a lot of country music of the 70s-90s. I never cared for it but somehow Kenny Rogers was healing after he passed. It happens.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll definitely check that out either here or privately if I think it might give me the sniffles. 💜😎🔥
One of my favorites too. Much love to you 💜
Live versions are sooo much better, I agree
Oh and those comments that say "he", may also just be us just
commenting/talking
to one another
We like to talk amongst the comments to one another, as well as also to the reactor.
Army is a family. And we definitely can talk a lot, I'm sure you have noticed, lol.
Oh yeah. I just try to pop in as much as I can. I laugh when the first or second comment is like "He has no idea what he's getting in to!" and I'm like... me?
This was the first of your reactions suggested to me...but I saved it for last. Why? Because I knew you would love it. I watched all your other BTS member vids first. Daechwita is my absolute fave vid ever. I always say that it's a MASTERPIECE. I never get tired of watching it. Btw, I'm a 58 yr. old metal head & BTS found me during the pandemic. I'm so happy that they found me and I love seeing others discover that BTS is not a boy band lol. I can't wait to see more of your journey! Borahae! 💜💜💜
Thanks so much! This BTS journey has been great and every video/song just keeps getting better and better!!! 💜🔥😎
I love watching people see this for the first time! Normally I don’t make suggestions for other songs, but this was part 1 of a 3 part story by Agust D and you should totally watch the other 2 ASAP. They’re - Haegeum and Amygdala.
Since you like going in cold, I’m not gonna tell you what it’s all about or anything right now but Army will tell you in comments. 😅
It’s honestly one of the most impressive and meaningful things I’ve ever seen. I got to see him do all 3 live in New York and my friends and I just absolutely lost it. He’s just as good live as he is in this video, so good!
That’s awesome! I’ve heard amazing things about his live show and production skills. Also, I was forewarned that this was 1/3 of the story so I will fire up the other two. Just gotta space em out a bit so I don’t look like I’m pandering. 🤪💜
There really is no separation when it comes to BTS everything is for everybody it's just that the Army songs are for specifically to Army and muggles (as namjoon once called non-listeners) and baby army may not understand significant meaning and the references within the song if they are just diving in to bts. This song as I'm sure other Army has said is part 1 of an amazing trilogy I recommend you doing the rest of the videos which are haegum and amygdala is the last I recommend doing them Next but warned it gets quite intense! 💜
I’ve got part 2 and 3 on my list. I knew I had to do this first. I’m not quite baby army yet but I meet my recruiter on Thursday! 🤪🤣😂
Just to add to your list: I am German (56y) but live in France 😊
And there will come a moment when you will get to the 'Boyband /Pop' BTS songs !
You have the right not to like that kind of songs.
But I am glad you see that our Tanies are great artist , before you get there! 😅
People often like certain music styles. That is okay.
That does not mean that there is anything wrong with BTS poppy Pop songs.
They also have their message and reason for existing and some of them are deep like "Epiphany"
💜
Dance tunes are typically my least favorite (club style songs) but I can tolerate romantic pop bubblegum if the lyrics or videos keep me engaged. I figured there had to be a few... even rock bands churn out cheesy ballads!
So glad you liked this. This song got me really interested in his solo work. He's just so talented, driven and artistic with an incredible ear for music. I always say he's Yoongi SUGA and Agust D all rolled into one incredible package 💜🐈⬛
I’m glad I like it too. The lyrics are great but what really got me was the production quality of the song, the music and the amazing tie in of old world and new world. Seems talented beyond his years!!! 💜😎🔥
Back again to add to your list! I don't know if anyone has mentioned to you that BTS collaborated with Coldplay for a bilingual track called My Universe. Vocalist Jin also has a solo song called The Astronaut, gifted by Chris Martin, if you'd check out their pop-rock leanings. My Universe was a great collaboration (there's a mini-documentary on UA-cam on that, search Coldplay x BTS Inside My Universe Documentary) and essentially the song is a nice symbolism of how despite being from different sides of the earth, the two groups hold so much sincerity and affection for music and the human spirit!
I have a love/hate relationship with Coldplay. All their radio songs make me miserable but the deeper songs on the albums I REALLY enjoy. I'm sure this may be different enough to really dig in to it! Thanks!!!
@@ReactionsThatRockMy Universe is not one of my favorite song, but I really like the humanity and kindness in Coldplay guy's. They are like BTS in that. They have real love and care to their fans
Suga's lyrics is always fire!!!! When he talk shit or a deeper philosophy n psychology stuff. U will fall in love with his lyrical wise beside his ability to producing, arranging n composing
It really caught me off guard because they seem so gentile. Can't wait to check out more!
Suga is a genius, and his soloworks are incredible.. you will love the other two in the same trilogy ( Haegum, Amygdala) and of course Snooze…his lyrics are always with a deep meaning. As BTS, they are often having important messages in their work, and sometimes they just want to chefer us up. Whatever, life is more fun since I found them😉♥️Glad you liked this one🙏❤️
45 year old ARMY here from Bama, gotta check out August D, August D.... I work out to that song! 😂😂
Roll Tide!
I’ll check it out!!! 💜😎🔥
you’re gonna enjoy the mixtape that this song comes from, suga is a very versatile producer and songwriter. some of my all time favs are on this album, moonlight my beloved
I will definitely be checking out some more! Thank you!!! 💜🔥😎
ARMY from the Netherlands here! I love your personality and reactions, you're really funny !
Daechwita is part of his thrilogy: Daechwita - Haegum - Amygdala. All are connected with each other. In the first 2 he is battling different parts of himself. Greed, ego, conformation etc. In Amygdala you hear more about his backstory and struggles and it connects to Daechwita and Haegum again. It's all pretty deep and not always easy to all understand from watching it once. But that's basically the case with almost every BTS song.
I think that's very important to know when getting into BTS: all their songs have layers upon layers and it goes really freaking deep. Their lyricism is like poetry and there's often multiple meanings. Even their pop songs that at first glance look cheesy have meaning. For example Boy with Love, a collaboration with Halsey, the MV tackles the patriarchy and gender roles in society. It looks cute and bright but there's always a reason for everything they do. People who see that song of BTS first think: that's a typical stupid boyband. The whole group starting out the video in bright pink clothes :P But there's always reason and meaning.
My fav songs of BTS? I have many but I cry every time I hear 'Spring Day' (if you watch that, then watch the Italianarmy explaination video with it bc it's really freaking deep - warning, tears guaranteed). I also LOVE LOVE LOVE 'First love' from Suga. They both make me emotional. I also really like V's Singularity. And I love Outro: Tear (live version).
If you want to see some live performances, you can check out their tiny desk concert, bts festa or Run BTS and mic drop from their Busan concert. V also has a good tiny desk concert with songs from his latest album Layover. J-hope's Lollapalooza concert is amazing. Jin was a guest at a concert of Coldplay last year before enlisting, watch Chris Martin's introduction speech and then the footage of the concert, they performed the song Astronaut together, song is written by Coldplay for Jin.
Just have fun with the ride tbh, I've been doing this stuff daily for many months now and I still haven't gone through all of their work. If you want to know more about the members, watch Taylor's guide A guide to BTS: the Bangtan 7. 💜
Thank you so much for all of this! I can’t lie, the compliments are my favorite part but the recommendations are awesome too! I’ve taken a screenshot so I can be sure to get to some of these! 💜🔥😎
@@ReactionsThatRock haha you seem like a genuine person and army loves that and sticks around for that and I often have to giggle during your reactions.
Just be honest if you don't like sth, as long as it's respectful and without prejudice about the boys, it's totally fine.
Hi from Kazakhstan! 💜💜💜
Спасибо за реакции на BTS! Они замечательные. Ты не пожалеешь., что узнал о них! Мои любимые песни: Mic Drop, Black Swan, Loyder than bombs, UGH, Run BTS, Pied Piper, Wild Flower by RM, AMYGDALA by Suga, Serendipity by Jimin.
I think you're my first from Kazakhstan! Welcome! I've heard great things about Wild Flower and Mic Drop. I'll have to listen to those as well as the others! Thanks!
По-моему, ты мой первый из Казахстана! Добро пожаловать! Я слышал много хорошего о Wild Flower и Mic Drop. Мне придется выслушать их так же, как и остальных! Спасибо!
This song is pronounced. ‘Day-che-tah’ 😊Then it will be ‘Hay-Guum’ next Part way through and I’m glad you like Suga! He’s my bias and ai love how raw he can be though he’s known to be so kind and sweet and caring and really listens to people on the inside. Probably why I like hime so much! I love the others equally so I still call myself OT7 ( One True Seven meaning you like all of them equally) 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜👏👏🇨🇦Oh! You saw More by J-Hope! I’ll have to find that!
4:30 the guy SUGA runs into is Jin and the guy that punches him is Jungkook. Little cameo appearance lol
That’s awesome! I didn’t catch that! 💜😎🔥
Welcome to the BTS universe. 53yr.old Army South Africa. I purple you 💜💜💜💜
Thanks and welcome!!! I purple you as well! 💜😎

1 Daewchita
2 haegeum
3 amygdala
On it! 💜🔥😎
Great reaction, I'm off to watch your More video next :) FYI Jimin is a Taekwondo black belt, he even does the flips in some of his dances
Awesome! I was one away from black belt then I turned 16, got my drivers license and started chasing girls. Oops. 😅
Brazilian fan right here, i love your reaction, you should do The last by August D ( Tell suga history )
Thanks so much! I'll add The Last to my ever growing list! Much appreciated!
You are amazing!! Love watching you. They are writers, producers, singer, dancers and all around performers. Individually they are as dangerous as they are as 7. I am 63, an ARMY and can't wait for 2025. PS you are an ARMY now!.♾️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️💕
Awe thank you so much! 😊
I’ve got so much catching up to do but I’m also REALLY looking forward to new music too!
71 year old me loves this song. Daechwita! Agust D is the king! He's the boss!💜💜
Love hearing that! 💜😎🔥
I'm and ARMY am 48 and begin and ARMY since 2016 and before BTS I was a full heavy metal and some rock but bts TO ME IS ON ANOTHER LVL THAT NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO....
I'm right there with you!!!
BTS B sides are absolute masterpieces and songs I go to most often.
I can imagine! I've always thought that radio singles were the appetizer to prepare one for the main course of deeper songs on the album!
AGUST D🔥SUGA💜OT7💜💜
Suga/Agust D is so versatile in his music. There was a lot of anger in him in the beginning. His self titled track Agust D is shit talking his haters from start to finish. I giggled all the way through it because I couldn’t believe some of stuff they let him put in that song.
But he also is very open and honest about his struggles with mental health. His song The Last is heartbreaking in the beginning. It’s referencing a mental breakdown he had that resulted in BTS having to cancel a show. He felt horrible guilt and shame for it. He was also struggling with still being called a sellout for becoming an idol. The song does have a good ending. A lot of his songs have personal stories in them.
His latest album shows so much growth, strength, maturity, and forgiveness. Snooze is an incredible song dedicated to the idols coming up behind him. He’s saying to them what he wishes someone would have said to him and BTS as they were coming up. Idol life is hard and a few have taken their own lives because of it. He doesn’t want anyone else to suffer like that or the way he did for years.
I love the shit talking but love the open dialogue about mental health even more! It’s been sooo tabu for so long…. Especially for men. 🥹
This is the song that made me fall in love with Rap - a little late to the party, I know. But never-the-less, Suga (aka Agust-D - pronounced like the month) I love and adore. You need to know their history more to understand where and why some of their diss songs were made. But, you'll get there. BTW - Daewichta is played for the king when he arrives, like Hail to the Chief is played for our president.
Aaah. So the video really does fit the song. I dig it!
I’m not much of a rap guy (at all!). I have some appreciation for old school rap but it’s so hard for me to get in to today’s rap. My wife likes some of it so it’s inescapable. This was really enjoyable and I was surprised that I actually liked it.
Love to watch the Taylor Marie documentary again with you! 💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜
I’ve had a few people say this. I’m thinking I may just have to do it! 💜🔥😎
50 year old ARMY from the US…welcome down the rabbit hole!
Awesome! I’m happy to be in the rabbit hole! The rabbits have been exceptionally nice!💜😎🔥
This is our precious Suga aka AgustD aka Min Yoongi 💜
💜😎🔥
thank you for watching this! 🇵🇭 BTS' discography is sooooo vast im sure you would like most of their songs. english subs are available and some songs need explanations bec of the cultural references and wordplays. 🤯
I've got so much catching up to do! So far I like what I hear!
@@ReactionsThatRock im happy to hear that!! dont be overwhelmed with ARMYs requests.. but BTS has a lot of content released, ive been ARMY since 2018 and i havent watched everything! ive learned to love rap after i discovered BTS. 💜 and their songs really helped me when i struggling with life a few years ago.
Suga writes his own material. AgustD is a persona he created for his anger. He went through a lot of shit in his youth, but he just kept bottling it up until he made AgustD to spew all his venom.
BTS is heavily influenced by hip-hop so you mentioning BelBivDeVoe was a good thing. Suga, RM and J-Hope are the main songwriters and Suga is also a producer.
Almost 47 year old me absolutely loves the fire he spews, and that's missing from a lot of music these days. (I have a birthday in a few weeks here. Man, where does the time go!?)
And just a side note... Jin gets out of the military in June. J-Hope gets out in October. The rest get out June of next year.
Ooh. I love creating a persona for anger. That might be cheaper than therapy!!! 💜😎🔥
So many favorites but "Dis-Ease" is one of my top of the tops. B side so no MV. But I never skip it when it comes up on the play list. Thanks for checking out our guys. 💜
Sounds like something I can just fire up on my phone and check out next time I’m in the car! 💜😎
Isn't lovely, that phase when you feel it's overwhelming, the number of things you can watch/listen to... I've been there lol it took me two whole years to catch up. I am an ARMY since 2016, so I was three years behind. Even when they are in their 'hiatus', they keep on giving. They are in the military now, but hey, we have sooo many content we can digest up to 2025. So, good luck hohoho.
Btw, welcome to the family, Big Dude. Purple ya.
It really is lovely! I’ve spent the last 5 or so years just putting on the same old Pandora playlist and the same old local rock station and the same old CDs because newer rock wasn’t speaking to me and I didn’t have the patience to try any other genre.
I went from having nothing to listen to to having everything to listen to and I’m hoping to get as much done while they’re away! 💜😎🔥
Thank you! Had a blast watching this. Also liked to hear your story about taking martial arts lessons, very cool. There is a behind the scenes video for a lot of their videos, they wre really nice to watch and you truly learn a lot about the process, etc....
For example I know in the Behind the scenes video for the making of this mv, they show Suga learning to use that sword, etc....
So you also get to understand that that is all real in the video. Suga had to learn to use the sword and than do the choreo for those scenes using the sword as well. It is very interesting to watch.
Infact just a little info, BTS uses green screen I'm sure but not all that much compared to what some may nwturally assume. I know of videos where they had explosions that were real, one were Suga sat infront of a fire, Jhope had a buch of real fire and had real explotions in his video Arson. Etc..., etc....
Mowt all these things are among the stuff you get to qctually see how it was truly done, by watching the behind the scenes videos. Those videos are usually called "Bangtan B0mbs."
I think you can find most of them for free on Bangtan TV, it is a youtube channel. Oh and you may want to make sure to show the opening where they show that it is a Bighit video, I habe been told that doing that is how you can keep from getting it blocked or what not. Now I'm not a hundred percent sure if this is still accurate, so you may want to ask others, or just try and make sure to always show that opening credit for official mv's. BTS and BigHit are usually pretty good about letting their videos be used though.
Thanks again💜
Thats fantastic! I imagine 90% of all videos use levels of green screen and special effects, but as a rock and roll pyromaniac, I'm pretty good at telling real fire/explosions from digital ones. That's also really awesome to hear he put the work in learning!
Thanks for that tip about the BigHit video. It's odd because some of these get tagged and some don't. Perhaps this is why!
Suga is my favorite BTS member! 💜 He is just a genius and all he does is incredible! All his solo albums are amazing, not a single bad or weak song.
BTS is way better than the typical boy bands! I can’t wait for your reactions to all of them together ☺️💜🙌🏻
I’ve been noticing. Just incredible stuff! I have RM coming up this week and then think I may finish the trilogy and then jump in the full group. So much catching up to do!!!
If you say DESH_IH_TAH you won’t be far off the pronunciation he uses in the song. Daechwita translates to ‘great blowing and hitting’ and is traditional military music used to announce the presence of the King. It’s sampled throughout the track.
I would definitely recommend watching an explanation video or two for this masterpiece. Probably the DKDKTV and Bookish Theories ones, which bring out different elements. There’s a huge amount of historical, cultural and personal reference packed into the song and video.
Since you’re on this path, you could carry on with the Agust D trilogy. The next song/video is ‘Haegeum’, followed by ‘Amygdala’ (which lays out some of the personal trauma that led to the ‘birth’ of his Agust D persona). If you want to explore his solo work further, there are three Agust D albums: Agust D (2016), D-2 (2020) and D-Day (2023).
For a small taste of BTS as a whole, I’d suggest ‘Black Swan’, followed by ‘ON: Kinetic Manifesto’. They may seem very different from each other but they’re actually closely related, ON being a kind of thematic sequel to Black Swan. I will say though, it is going to take a while for you to really get a sense of just how diverse and deep the group’s discography is. Enjoy the journey.
Awesome! I appreciate the references and the recommendations! I’ll definitely be finishing the trilogy. 💜😎🔥
Thanks for reacting! I am the same age as you and absolutely love BTS, have been army since 2017. They are so amazing, I don't even have adequate words to describe my love for them. They have changed my life, I've made new friends because of them, and recently I even traveled to Korea and got to visit the place where this video was filmed! Keep watching their MVs, I think you will really love them. Their music is amazing!
Thats amazing! I've always had a love of Korea having taken Taekwondo as a kid. That's a bucket list trip for sure!
I'm honestly so blown away by how WRONG I was about what type of music they made. I really thought it was going to all be boy band pop.
@@ReactionsThatRock I also was wrong at first. My daughter started listening to them but never around me. When she would ask me to play it in the car, I said no because I thought it was going to be bubble gum music. Then I heard Mic Drop, couldn't believe it, and fell down the rabbit hole looking up everything I could find.
I love when newer reactors find BTS thinking they are nothing more than a poppy boyband and their minds get completely blown when they realize they are The Super Group Of The World!!! 😎I've been a loyal Army since I first heard their song Save Me when it came out. Liked your reaction, Thank you for reacting. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely not what I thought they were going to be!!!
Savage Suga is the best 😂😈 Yes, said like sugar but made from the starting syllables of his favourite position in basketball Shooting Guard.
Yeah he is!!! 💜😎🔥
"Tell me what is ur favorite song"
Hmm... this will be a very very very long answer if i have to list my favorite song from BTS n tbeir solo project 😂😂😂 it's a loooottttttt especially for their side track song is all fire 🔥
But if u asked which song that finally makes me become their fan, it's was "Tomorrow" (and from that song, Suga become my bias too. Bias means u most favorite one). I like all members, but my most favorite one is Suga. Why? Just because he is the one who produce n writing for that song 😆 Suga said, he write 'tomorrow' when he was still in high school, but at that time the lyrcs is more darker since he fell in depression phase at that time. In 2014, that song get choosen to include in BTS album, then he change a bit the lyrics n melody to be more brighter than the original, to give a sense of hope behind the darkness. And the message of that song, really help me to go through my depression state.
My most favorite line from tomorrow lyrics that give me a bit hope n strength is :
"Because the dawn right before the sunrise is the darkest"
"When the dark night passes, A bright morning will come"
I seriously didnt expected with that simple lyrics can help me n remind myself that the dawn right before the sunrise is the darkest time. So, dont give up from the darkness. Coz there is no eternal darkness just like there is no eternal light. That's life.
My favorite song? Here, hold my coffee. Lemme get that black book of mine.
#proceed to pull the thick black book out of my bag which has aaaaall BTS songs as group and solo project.
Yup, I love even stuff that are not in the record like Arirang and Otsukare or those advertisement stuffs
Ooh. I love that metaphor! Such a poetic concept to link to hard parts of life!!! Thank you for sharing!!! 💜🔥😎
Don't know if anyone else told you that Jin and Jk are in the video, they are the two in the beginning that bump in to SUGA and start fighting behind him.. Love this song sooo much
That’s awesome. Love the cameos! 💜😎🔥
Here's a fun fact: BTS performed Daechwita live as a whole group in one of their online concerts. Each one had a chance to rap part of the song while Suga was just chilling on the throne. And they also put whole theatre play with costumes and background. I think camera catched a few times where Suga almost lost it at how goofy they all looked.
Until Agust D solo tour last year it was the only time this song (or any song from Suga's mixtapes except maybe Tony Montana) has been performed live.
Also in the MV, where he bumped into a man and then two men started to fight in the background - that were Jin and Jungkook.😅 They often appear in each other MV's.
Also, did you heard about Dir en grey? They are Japanese nu-metal (I think) band and they are phenomenal. I wrote "i think" because they don't really stick to one rock/metal genre, so you figure it out yourself. They are one of my favourite bands. Saw them live in 2020. What an experience. I literally have their poster side by side with BTS poster on my wall, lol.
(I consider myself metalhead, but I really just enjoy good music in any genre. My top three artists are Dir en grey, BTS and Aurora, lol).
If you will decide to react to Dir en grey, I recommend to start with Vinushka from Androgynous live. They are really better live. Kaya's channel has this video with English subtitles.
I really want you to continue to BTS, but I understand you need to mix it with other music to not become BTS' reaction channel. It's okay. And Dir en grey can be great addition to your journey of exploring new artists.
That’s sooo awesome. Seems like they have a lot of fun! 💜🔥😎
There will definitely be more BTS and I’m rather interested in checking out Dir en grey too!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!! 🔥😎💜

My favorite BTS song (at this moment...could change tomorrow 😅) is 'We On'. There's no music video for it, just a live from a long time ago. There's lyric videos too. But my favorite rapline (RM, Suga& JHope) song is "Ugh".
English lyrics with their live performance is below ua-cam.com/video/DpyXMPfTJ8k/v-deo.htmlsi=w1rvd7zPTKz-DnK0
Here's English subtitles for 'We On' ua-cam.com/video/Y-1x-oX3Mdg/v-deo.htmlsi=yC0Mgy1ZL0tm7AvZ
yaaaas! love We On - such an underappreciated song!
Thanks!!! 💜🔥😎
A We On enthusiast just like me. I love that song. I find it very powerful
64 yrs old me doesn't think you're old!
I appreciate that!!! 💜🔥😎
Great reaction. It would be great for you to watch the explanation video. (On your own) Suga does quite a bit more than trash talk. There are a lot of cultural references & this song has more layers to it. DKDKTV has a great one. Borahae 💜
I’m a world history nerd, so I think I’d appreciate this and the references! Good idea! 💜😎🔥
@ReactionsThatRock I'm really glad to hear that. I love history too. That tells me so much about your personality. You will enjoy your journey with the Bangtan boys . Their music is multifaceted. Quite a few of their songs have explanation videos. I am a new sub & I love your energy.! 💜
@@jg5615 welcome to the party! 🎉
Yeah, I’m that guy that takes a vacation and HAS to check out the nearby fort/ruins/etc. just how I’m wired.
I'm so happy I discovered your channel! Suga is my soul, his voice and lyrics always make me happy. BTS are like family to me. Thank you!
Awe thank you! I’m happy to be discovered too!
Thinking I should finish the trilogy soon!
This song has layered meaning. Besides a celebration of his success it has lots of Korean cultural references, and a Daechwita played at the beginning. It's also part of a trilogy which is the story of his mental health journey through his trauma. He is healing and conquering different aspects of himself, his shadows. In this MV he is conquering his rage, paranoia and isolation (in the Mad King.) The scar represents his trauma. It is more raw and fresh on the Mad King and more healed on Peasant Agust D (Agust D is Suga Backwards, plus DT for Deagu Town, his hometown and the name of his original underground rap crew before BTS.)
Other Agust D to check out:
Agust D
Give It To Me
Interlude: Shadow
Burn It
People (Try it live from his D-Day world tour)
People Pt 2
First Love
and the rest of the trilogy: Haegeum and Amygdala.
I appreciate the info!!! Seems like there’s a lot of depth here! 💜😎🔥
Army gets we are overwhelming! No worries!
In all the right ways!!! 💜😎🔥
Hi again! Here a 60 years old Mexican army, liked your reactions! 💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜
Hola!!! Welcome back and thank you!!! 💜🔥😎
Yay Suga :)) thank you, he also produced this
That’s amazing!!! 🔥😎💜
💜ARMY from Finland here💜
Welcome to the party!!! 🎉
I appreciate you reading the comments. Love your intro speech, you're so funny!
It's hard for me to pick a favorite BTS song. It's like, every song they release is my new favorite, which means my latest favorite is "wherever u r" by Umi, ft. V of BTS. It's a gentle acoustic songs by two beautiful voices. And just yesterday, a popular Korean singer/actress, IU, released her song, "Love Wins All", with V as her co-star in the MV. Such a heart-breakingly beautiful story and top-notch acting by both stars. Everyone is crying over the MV right now. Yes, I teared up as well when I first watched it.
But let me talk about Agust D since this is a reaction to his song. First off, like others have said, this is the first MV in his trilogy. So I hope you'll react to the next MVs soon, "Haegeum" and "Amygdala". Remember the scar, that's all I have to say about it.
Second, so far he's the only member who has done a solo tour, and what a tour it was! Phenomenal. It was in April through August last year, but the performances have stayed with me to this day, they were that impactful. I still rewatch them and never get tired of it. My latest obsession is his performance of "Life Goes On", where he sings and plays the piano (the performance edit video from BTSPurpleYou is a good one).
Thank you for your reaction, from an 47-year-old Indonesian.
Thanks for that info! I’m thinking I need to check out the IU song! Sounds fantastic!!! 💜🔥😎
Now that you are on ARMY's radar, there will be no way to keep up with the comments. We can be a feral bunch but we are also the most supportive and we will gladly help guide your journey down the BTS rabbit hole. We love to watch someone enjoy our guys and fall in love with their music so don't worry about your videos being too long. Once you get into the live performances your vids will be an hour minimum and we will be here for it. I enjoyed your reaction and you just gained a new subscriber so I can follow along with your journey. Keep it up dude, you are doing great!!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I didn’t realize how overwhelmed it would be with 1700ish subs. Can’t imagine trying to keep up if I grow! Yikes!!! 🤪💜
Daechwita if u look it up it’ll tell u the definition of the music type and instrument from the Korean history
Awesome! I appreciate it!
So love Suga aka AgusTD, his message to doubters and haters, his versatility as an artists is just amazing, check out Snooze too.. Hi from Scotland 😊
Snooze? On it!
And hello Scotland!!! 💜😎🔥
TRILOGY! 💜
Yes, Taylor’s guide and Boracity magazine’s video essays. When you’re ready of course. :)
💜🔥😎
Suga he’s a massive basketball fan and it’s a name he picked because of his favourite position which is shooting guard. Agust D is Suga + DT (Daegu Town) spelled backwards. 💜
That’s so much smarter than I could have thought of. Love it! 💜😎🔥
Kris Kross? Wow, that really took me back. Lol
Loved the reaction. Suga is a genius and this mv is a great masterpiece. So glad you loved it too!
Wasn’t sure who’d get that reference or not, but… 🤪💜
Since you like rock, I think you would love Snooze by Agust D, it doesn’t have an oficial MV but you can find a live performance here on UA-cam 💜
Ooh. I’ll have to check it out! Thanks! 💜😎🔥
Okay, the FULL 2016 BTS MAMA performance!!!!! It doesn't have subtitles; 2 full songs in this performance are Blood, Sweat, and Tears & Fire!!!! Both MVs are beautiful and have subtitles!
I read this as “Blood, Sweat and Tears and Fire” and was wondering what the other song was. 😂🤣
It’s late, I need sleep but I’ll definitely check those out!
@@ReactionsThatRock Both songs are 2015 releases:
--Fire, about teen, youth angst with social expectations and their revolt/response - harder hip-hop rock vibe
--Blood, Sweat & Tears, about loss of teen, youth innocence in falling into the temptation of a "bad" love. V plays a fallen angel tempting Jin, with softer classical dance vibe
Dachita dachita 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Excellent Suga, hello from Greece ❤
Hello! I’m jealous of you’re food! I moved to a small rural town and miss real good Greek food!
Hi dear. 68yo Army(BTS fan) here. So...we don't have to keep telling you to watch "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" by Taylor Mari anymore? Whew...that's a relief....that's a lot of typing.
I could probably fill a coffee table book with screenshots. 🤪💜
@@ReactionsThatRockI am 61 year old new Army and the guide is a must for us newbies. You will love it! I never get tired of watching new reactions to the guide. 💜
💜@@ReactionsThatRock
Loved the reaction. Lol. Don't get into the dog box with the Mrs. We will be here to listen to it all. Saying hello from South Africa. 💜
Thanks so much! I keep trying to get her to join the fun but no such luck. 💜😎🔥
Something you may not know: Yesterday the member V is in a music video by famous female solo artist IU called Love Wins All. V isn't singing this time but the MV is a big deal since we get to see him act again and see those two friends be on a project together. Would love to see your reaction to the storyline and music 😊💜
That’s so cool!!! Thanks for letting me know g me know! I’ll add it to my list and hopefully get it done in the next few days! 💜🔥😎
Great Job!!! Jin the first member comes back mid June, then Jhope in October, but still lots of time to get more familiar.
I’ve got a feeling a lot of my catching up will be done outside of UA-cam. If not, I’ll never get caught up! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock There is so much content and some may just be in your off time, not for reaction. You do have quite a bit of time till they are al out though.
Suga is short name for Shooting Guard, Suga’s favorite basketball position
That’s so creative. I’d have NEVER guessed that in a million years!
An ot7 (whole group) song i think you'd enjoy is Come Back Home, it's a remake/interpolation of the song by Seo Taji and the boys. I'm curious if you will hear what i heard 😅 the first time i listened to it i said out loud to myself "what in the (band's name) is going on here" some more ot7 songs i recommend as someone who also came from a rock background is Dionysus, and the og Mic Drop.
Ooh a challenge! I like that! I’ve added this to my list! 💜😎🔥
@ReactionsThatRock here's a color coded lyrics video. All the live ones seem to cut off the beginning of the song. Looking forward to the reaction! ua-cam.com/video/8x8KCeb2ws8/v-deo.htmlsi=DhzgbfjSIgNgZU58
Well Daechwita is one of my favourite songs.
I also love Hip Hop Lover, and very different Crystal Snow.
By the way, Jin will come out of the army this June, so only 5 months to wait for his gorgeous voice.
So much catching up to do!!! 💜😎🔥
All 7 will seep into you heart and soul but SUGA will enter your mind. He is so brilliant. He produces for other artists in Korea. Here's a tid bit for you; Suga, AgustD, Min Yoongi, Yoongi and Lil Meow Meow! These are the names ARMY uses when their are talking about SUGA. When Daechwita came out, I wished the Grammy's took Korean music more seriously because to me, this was the Song & Video of the YEAR.
Ignore the Grammys. They are mostly just “pay to play” these days and have VERY strong biases.
As for Lil Meow Meow… I’m so here for it! 😻
@@ReactionsThatRock I know this about Grammy's but for some reason the general public thinks that the Grammy's are the cream de la cream of all the award shows. Thanks for the pep talk.
Hi🥰I'm J-army, from Japan!
I look forward to your reaction!
Welcome! 💜🔥😎
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰AGUST-D HE IS THE KING, HE IS THE BOSS !!!!💪👑😼💜
I learned that with this video!!! 💜🔥😎
On - Kinetic Manifesto! Love it!
It’s on the list! 💜
Agust D is a great producer who has always absolutely killed it at integrating traditional instruments into his works as a producer across many genres (he's so good, one of his nicknames has been the hand of midas for how he can make anything gold). It's more than likely not your style, but Autumn Leaves (aka Dead Leaves) also demonstrates this. Along with some insane not common chord patterns and progressions and circular synths that aren't common in modern music. However! That's not a must. I just adore it as a musician bc it's put together so insanely well, lyrically, production wise, instrumentally, etc.
Thank you for always being honest in your reactions and giving thoughts to it. It's refreshing and I appreciate the honesty because nobody always loves all their music across the genres 1000%, but when you do, your honesty makes it all the better and more joyful for me as a watcher, because someone else truly loves a piece of music that I love.
You don’t ever have to worry about recommending songs that aren’t “my style”. So much of what I’ve been listening to isn’t my taste or style (or at least what I thought wasn’t) but I’m really enjoying this musical journey and have been blown away by how much music I thought I’d hate and ended up really enjoying (such as BTS and James Blount!).
I’m not sure I have a style anymore… and if you look at my attire, you might argue I never did. 🤣😂
BTS will susprise and stun you every time. I think that most (not everyone) of the western fans at one point felt exactly like you when you say you had misconceptions. Please keep going on your BTS journey and we will follow. My favourite BTS songs ( very hard to choose ) are : Make it Right, Mikrokosmos, Dynamite, The Truth Untold, I need you, Spring day, Black Swan, Fake Love, and Mic Drop. There are soooo many more, but those are my tops. I did not incIude their solo songs though. I wonder which ones will be yours. I just subscribed cause I’m interested in your BTS journey 💜
Thanks for the list!!! I’ve heard really good things about Mic Drop! So many songs to check out! 💜🔥😎
