This was fascinating to watch. BTS was making a pretty bold statement in this song Baepsae. I'm super impressed that they had the balls do it. Their political and social conscience continues to amaze me.
Highly recommended. . . "Spinebreaker" and "Spinebreaker" explained by a Korean. EXCELLENT!!
faith6833 yesss
Yees!
Yesssssss pleaseeeeeeee
faith6833 and also MV behind the scenes 🤣
Yess
One thing you also need to consider is the time when they released this song. It was when they were still on the verge of breaking in the US - 2016, before they were even nominated for their first American award - BBMA 2017. They were still small, compared to the major kpop idol players in Korea. This song was a B-side, unpromoted, but very much embraced whole heartedly by ARMY because of its message. BTS was fighting for their career at that time and was experiencing suppression from the big companies and the fans of those huge kpop idols.
At that time, they were just trying to work hard despite the situation they were in. They were also literally fighting the system and ARMY was therefore inspired to fight hard with them.
At their concert tour at that time (2016-2017), NOT TODAY was a call to fight and win and Baepsae was the sarcastic commentary, although it was huge fun to watch.
And because ARMY got a taste of winning if we work hard together, we were able to break BTS into the US market, which resulted to the belated acknowledgement in Korea when those in the entertainment power can no longer ignore the prestige they bring home.
Salute to you omg! Very well said! If only i could hit the thumbs up like millon times! You really spilled TEA! 👍👏✌💜💜💜
well said my fellow Army!!you left nothing for us to comment you've said it all!! congrats wwoooowwww !!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️
Yes NOT TODAY was their fight song. They faced their biggest challenges during that time period!
Hope he sees this.....
A lot is missing out about the stuffs/messages of BTS' songs even before they weren't huge as they are now. That these boys are the literal definition of SUBSTANCE.
@@angeladc8315 yup. Period!
And actually now that you've heard and understand Baepsae, you may remember that in Dope, RM's verse talked about giving up? Giving up on 3? giving up on 5? No? I'd rather give up at 6, I like 6. It's actually going back to this song, and ironically talking about all the things his generation have had to sacrifice just to be able to live. Which is very fitting, seeing as Dope is, ultimately, at it's core, a motivational song.
Also, now you should listen to and read the lyrics to Not Today, the crow-tit lyric will make SOOO much more sense now.
Finally, just 1 point, if you watch the choreo to Baepsae, BTS literally have a move that's basically like... well... you'll see. XD there's no questioning at all, that's they are giving a big old, politically correct, and insanely catchy "F U" to the boomers LOL
Am I Wrong is another political song. Arguably, even more risky than Baepsae, seeing as it has lyrics that are in direct response to an actual political issue in South Korea.
Dang I stan this comment 👍👍🔥💜
Rachel Sheng I have heard the song plenty but idk about the political issue you are referring to... could you briefly explain please? Or is there an explanation video about it?
yes!! "Not Today" will make a LOT more sense after this explanation.. also "N.O." is an oldie but goodie!! Oh and throw in "No More Dream" for good measure..
@@k-poppinwithfallon2593 The brief summary is, in 2016, the south korean minister of Education (EDUCATION of all things) was out having drinks with some reporters, running his mouth off. Saying that 99% of his country's people are all too dumb and lazy to ever move up in life and should be treated like dogs and pigs - just fed and kept alive. He also then continued to make several racist comments (or I guess he thought they were statements) about latinos and black people. Anyway. It became a trending topic on social media in South Korea. But the fact that this guy said all this, isn't even the biggest problem. It's the fact that what he's saying was unfortunately the underlying truth of the extremely class-ist, and caste-based system of Korean society. Anyway, the best article I've found about it is here: www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2019/10/673_209805.html
BTS' lyrics in Am I Wrong, and specifically, RM and Suga''s verses uses this politician's words, right back at him, sayings sure, we're dogs, and pigs. We're dogs because of anger at the injustice. the rest of the lyrics lament the insanity that what is known to be corrupt and wrong, but is accepted as the norm. This is why I'd argue Am I Wrong is actually more political than Baepsae.
Rachel Sheng thank you so much! Yeah I didn’t know about that incident. I gotta read the lyrics to it again so I will understand it better now. And thanks for the link! Gonna check it out after typing this lol I appreciate you 💜
baepsae is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to bts calling out the system, i'd highly recommend listening to "spinebreaker" and watching the explained by a korean video as well
And those "sexy" hip thrusts....they're a middle finger to the high classes.
Edit: The huge gap between "rich" and "poor" - welcome to the human race.
Bts are always ahead of the trend, they
called out baby boomers before it was a trend. this song was released in 2016
They start trends
They also have a song called "N.O." (has MV) from very early in their career. It railed against the oppression of the Korean school system and the pressure to be a huge success with education and to give up on any other dreams.
And I just find out recently the verse " in Seoul to the sky" is actually refers to 3 top University in korea
@@trisnaningwijayanti5747 yes Seoul University, Korea University and Yonsei University
@@trisnaningwijayanti5747 I have no clue where I heard that from but I already knew that. Thanks for the info. anyway. But someone reading your might not know, so cool.
I missed serious social songs from BTS
@@user-re9lj2ex4l They really have a lot... Baepsae, Spine Breaker, Am I Wrong, NO, 518-062 ... Also songs like Can You Turn Off Your Cellphone, Go Go... Real issues hidden behind energetic beats
Baepsae is literally the song that made me stan them, I felt like someone was putting my thoughts in lyrics. I'm from Argentina and we have similar problems.
Baepsae was the first song I heard from them and it made me stan them too lol
Same
i'm from serbia and we also have the same problem. how funny - four continents, but exactly the same issue.
Tamb de Argentina 🇦🇷😁
Please dont remind me of our shitty ecomony here in Argentina
It's so sad and frustrating
We can't even buy a bts album without facing changes in price due to the ups of the dollar 😕
Their song “Am I Wrong” has a similar message about corruption in the world
@Its_Caraina That was kind of a middle finger to the government. But got an award from them which funny ironically.
This song is basically an “ok boomer” song
Funny since they like to “ok boomer” Yoongi when he says those puns.
🙋🏾♀️ Boomer here. I just celebrated my 61st birthday and I’m Army. 👏🏾💜
66 here, and ARMY since 2016. My friends think I’ve regressed to tweenyhood. But I am shameless where BTS is concerned.
Happy birthday!! We are happy to have you!💜💜💜💜🎂
Happy birthday 🎊🎂🎉 wish you happy long healthy life I purple you 💜💜💜
ARMY for ever 💪
55 here. I detest the whole OK Boomer thing but love BTS !
Happy birthday.! 55 here and I was ARMY before my kids and now we attend concerts together. Best bonding time ever!😃
What you said was absolutely correct about bts being ballsey about talking about this stuff, but that's what makes them special. What you said when it's not the smartest move and etc, your right, bts could get possibly in trouble and backlashed, but they continue to stand up for what's right. This is literally a quote from them: "if we are not gonna talk about it now, then who will". As you listen and learn all the different messages bts have in their songs you can't help but respect and love them.
You should check out Ddaeng explained as well! It’s the best example of bts’ clever usage of wordplay and double entendres.
yes! 🙌
yasss please
YESSSS
Yeeeessss❤❤
They reference Crow tit in "Not today " as well
Yes..sadly, back when I joined this fandom, I heard NOT TODAY before BAEPSAE and I couldn't understand what the hell a crow tit is 😆😆..I really thought they are talking about "crow's tits" 😂😂
@@muktaparab4766 hahahaha to be fair I think that was everyone's first thought when hearing Crow Tit and not knowing its actually a small bird XD
and in cypher part 4! yoongi says "call me baepsae"
They say baepsae in quite a few of their songs but I think it’s used more as a derogatory word (like people calling them that or talking down to them) instead of directly referencing the song Baepsae
finally yay now you are going to understand their lyrics better!! I really like dkdktv cause they are korean so they explain really well, pls keep watching them to understand bts better 💜💜💜
Exactly! That's what makes BTS ever so great and way above others on another level. They make music that truly matters, that people can relate and resonates with everyone all over the 🌎! One of the many reasons why we love them so much. They always emphasize that each individual people matters in this world whether you're young or old because we're all connected as human beings sharing this one beautiful planet. Loving your reactions. You nice, keep going DT!💜
They also have a dance practice video for Baespae as well 💜
ahhh i remember how this really hit me when i started to get into BTS. i'm from germany, living in japan. it's aaaaall and everywhere the same. baebsae feels like the older brother of ok boomer XD
BTS have some socially critical lyrics and you're right: the problems raised in the song span the whole world. BTS addresses it and thus comes even closer to their army. I think that this group will move a lot more. Greets from Germany (a very difficult country).
That's why everyone relates to their lyrics with a catchy sound and visuals.🤔🙄🤗💜💞✌🙏
"it must be world-wide"
It is. This song made me a fan of bts because I know what they are talking about here. And know too good.
Id check out spinebreaker and spinebreaker explained too. And yes they use the term ok boomer over there too but while yes they have similaries to us here its actually more intense there due to the culture of your elders ALWAYS being correct and having to be respectful to them and by elders that applies to not only family/ elderly but work and regular life too, and again while we have things called interns what they are referring to isnt interns really they are actually hired like that so its different and the reason this song is considered highly political is more or less these are things that they shouldnt say since its expected for them to just keep quite and do what they are told but our boys ha they always speak their minds even if it gets banned from being played
From how it looks, Bang PD is very passionate about changing the system, especially the music industry! They seriously just want a better place for everyone
React to bts spine breaker and spine breaker explained by DkdkTv
Thats whats make army proud of bts..their songs not just about love..but sociality..mental health..stuggles..thats why many people relate to them..bts never afraid againts the world by their songs and musics..and army will always be here to support and protect them
"they (BTS) always have a message,...they always encourage you to look deeper. They don't do 'PopCorn, Bubblegum' music just for the hell of it. They are using the platform for a bigger cause and a strong message that not a lot of young people have the intellect to do or have the balls to do."
dude... i'm liking you even more. you always make sense.
It's also the same in France. I'm a student and same age with Jimin and V and here is how I feel about this matter. The worse is that even if you would like to fight this system, you gotta bear with it if you want to live in society. And depending on your situation and how much you must conform to survive, some people (who could be allies) diss you for being whether too conformist, or not enough. I wish instead of letting this system divid us we could all fight it together, even if the way we fight is different. (Also sorry for being political but I think that this "big international conspiracy" is mainly capitalism.)
They stand up for the youth in this song but you should react to their song spinebreaker explained by dkdktv. That song gives a slap of sense to the youth, they talk about some things the youth is doing wrong in today's century, which is phenomenal because since they are part of the youth as well they make songs like baepsae that stands up to the right of their generation, but it surprised me how they also talk about what wrongs today's youth are doing as well in spinebreaker and realising it as they are today's generations youth too.
Yes, this song really mindblowing because how relatable it is for our life as millenials. It's just makes me love them more because i feel we're not alone in this fcked up situation. Nice reaction, sir!
React to spine breaker, it has a deep meaning too (and the explanation)
You want double meanings, you should do DDaeng and DDaeng explained, it's on another level.
Also watch their live performance to this song, it’s lit! 💜
Please react BTS live on stage epilogue Japan edition 2016:
-Silver spoon/baepsae
-no more dream+dance break
-the rise of bangtan/attack on bangtan.
"Super gangster!!" 😂😂, yeah they are. They had been trought so much than we imagin and here they are now. Much respect to them.
May this group BTS will always be around to enlighten people to see further details on their surroundings, country, people and even the rest of the world. They're sacrificing really themselves to make a better place for the next generations to come and I do hope that it will be worthwhile! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 A purple heart for each of the members of BTS!
*that's so true, it doesn't only apply to Korea but America and many other countries. We all face the same struggles but the baby boomers blame it on the lack of effort which is not the case. I really* *enjoy this song so much and it's better when you understand the meaning. BTW, please react to DDAENG LYRICS and Ddaneg explained by a Korean DKDKTV*
This is exactly why Suga is always saying in interviews that they try to talk about issues that connect us all, that everyone can relate to, and that's why the language doesn't matter. The meaning is what's important. And the catchy beats, lmao
"BTS Baepsae mirrored practice "and "BTS Baepsae LIVE in JAPAN""..please...Both on same reaction would be fun
Performances in Japan? Asking for a strike....
No no to Japan clips.. watch on your own instead, unless you want strikes from YT
im sorry but not the mirrored dance practice please. it now has more views than the original dance practice from bangtantv. and the original video is more fun. they played rock paper scissors first.
@@muramotoanneelizarikkab.4581 the original doesnt have captions, so he wont understand why they are doing it
@@muramotoanneelizarikkab.4581 plus there is a smaller chance of getting a strike, thats probably why it has more views
baepsae is literally "ok, boomer" in song form
That is what I like about them. They speak out which will help those young people who will be growing up behind them. As stated in some the comments below "Spine Breaker" is another song to check out. It is mainly geared to the younger generation. Another note: You enjoyed Jin's solo song, check out "Awake Live" by Jin. Another beautiful song. AS ALWAYS, I ENJOY YOUR REACTIONS TO BTS.💜
Rap is a perfect musical form for sending a message with depth, anger, social meaning... and the contrasts between hypnotic rhythms, masterful lyricism and poetic choice of words can make the difference between a plain old banger, and a masterpiece with a timely message.
As someone from Denmark I can say YES, this is something that is going on all over the world, also here. When people talk of Denmark they call us a happy country with lots of opportunities. Let me tell you; it's not easier here than somewhere else. It's difficult here too.
yayyy love that you're exploring the meaning behind the songs as well to broaden your understanding of bts and your world view. mad respect💜
this is legit the song that made me go: yes, these are my people, we share the same values i WILL support them and love them forever
Now you see why they take their mission and name so seriously. While this is the most political song they've done, it is not the only one to talk about problems within society. BTS is just so amazing at speaking against the ills and injustices they see.
I think all can relate with this lyrics, I’m really tired of that is what our world has become
I often woke up late for school, now that im working, i put baepsae as my alarm. Never been late again XD
Baepsae live is an indescribable experience. Talk about getting hyped...
This is why people relate to BTS, and that their songs speaks to them personally
Reacts to Born Singer...im sure you can relate them..telling their struggles before they became superstar....
the live perform is even better
I 'd recommend lyrics video and then live
@@BDaTDaSADaNDaIME 😊
must watch the dance practice 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 HILARIOUS!!
this is one of the songs that really bts. their identity. it's so bts. the sounds. before they as versatille as now.☺️
Oh no not Baepsae 🔥🥵💜💜💜 need live reaction to this song 😋
I;m glad you're reacting to this now. I was going to suggest you to react to bts baepsae dance practice. its really funny and cute! love Jungkook and Suga's part. haha
Bang PD-nim is such a rebel and I live for it!
Yass thanks for checking out DKDKTV! BTS caught my attention with their catchy songs and beats, but I stayed because of their powerful messages and lyrics.
Baepsae is the result of giving the artists a good amount of freedom over their creative output. (music for artist and Healing...)
First of all, i wanna thank you for appreciating and showing love to our boys! They deserve the world. Second, as i said under another reaction video of yours, money as well as ownership are very important and serious matters in Korea. It's very important to have bought a property of your own, a house, an apartment, cars, and not having them on leasing, paying for them monthly years and years till you retire. That's why all of the members quickly invested their money into property, most of them bought more than one, all in cash. Jin and Jungkook have cars of their own. I'm not sure about the other members. I think Hoseok has a car too. Most of the members are already living in their own homes not in the dorm. My point is as much as they criticize Korean society and system, they have also materialized the fear and the need to secure their life and future following the exact same pattern of their society. This is not a criticism towards them, it's a reminder that whatever you say or do, you tend to unconsciously materialize things related to your background. The same goes with Korean society's expectations about getting married and have children at a certain age. Be sure, most of them would fulfill these expectations too. And it's gonna be sooner than you think.
You are legitimately the only reactor I’ve ever seen point out that the crisis the boys’ are talking about is everywhere. That’s part of the reason BTS has become so big. They’ve always talked about their experiences growing up and it’s all things that end up being universal to our generation.
And this is what differentiates BTS from everybody else. You just don’t listen to bops. Their music is always something more and you’ll get blown away everytime. Hope you get to watch more of DKDKtv explanations of BTS songs, like SPINE BREAKER and DDAENG.
Even being an original ARMY I am still getting a whole new experience down here..man keep the nice reaction
I was like you, I realized from this song that it is a world problem for the younger generations. I myself am a Boomer yet I agree completely; I just don't know what can be done other than help out our kids as much as possible. I think that BTS might the best means to spread this message and encourage the youth to figure out a better different path. BTS has been a shining beacon to me, their music, their dance, their beauty, their personalities, and their messages. YOU are very articulate and I will be happy to subscribe and watch your other reviews. Also, is this not one of their best choreos?!! thanks to j-hope!
Baepsae is not their only song with catchy beat but deep meaning, dt. Anpanman, go go, am i wrong also had catchy bop-able sounds yet deep, deep, meaning. Have fun on ur journey through bts' discography!
Well they have one song 'Am I wrong' in wings album and it directs to political issues in the year 2016. There's a former chief of the Education Ministry's policy made an offensive remark saying, “The public people are like dogs and pigs.”
Then this song, there's Suga's lyrics pertaining to his remarks “We’re all dogs and pigs, we’re so mad we turn into dogs. A war between the big and the small errday. This crazy world yea makes us crazy. Now scream mayday mayday.” And that time many amazed their bravery and afraid they get banned on music shows but I remember Suga says "I never dissed anyone specifically. If someone feels targeted, then it’s their problem" lmao That's why I really like this boys.
And the dance is the cherry on top lol. So fun
Don't forget the dance practice for this!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
DT, "Spine Breaker" too pls. it also has an explanation🙏
They always hit you with deep and powerful lyrics on fun beats. Baepsae, Spine Breaker, GoGo, Anpanman, to name a few. All are heavy and powerful lyrics criticizing society and politics and even our mindsets, yet they’re all fun beats with fun and goofy dances (or fun and hot in Baepsae’s case)
And now they’re South Koreans pride and joy, including many of the baby boomers. Their president loves BTS. Looks like the baby boomers finally listen. Great job bts.
Baepsae was the "ok boomer" of it's time before the term "ok boomer" even existed lolol
Honestly tho this song was so controversial when it came out that ARMYs were scared it would be censored. It was performed only once during their promotion period of their album and even then their stage wasn't decorated as it usually was (compared to their fire and save me perfs). We were even shocked it was even approved to be aired xD
It's all relatable because everyone is going through it, house prices, schooling prices, land prices, and the value of a dollar are not the same as 28 years ago
SPINEBREAKER NEST
I always enjoy their deep meanings and social commentary. On top of the meaning of the words, it's almost like all the hip thrusting is like a big "f you" to the system that is suppressing them (and enjoyable for us at the same time)....well played BTS
You should check out their funny dance practice for Baepsae!! I love seeing how much fun they're having!!
Tq for this reaction fam.... Really appreciate it 💜💜💜 this is BTS
😂😂😂 They are using metaphor to highlight something.. They are so smart... So genuine.. This the reason why Armys love them so much
True, after learning and searching several meaning of their famous songs, that I find myself love bangtans. Caoabilityto "play words and metaphor and symbols" attracted me that deep.
Omg I beening waiting for this reaction!
Love your reactions DT Parker!!!
In every album BTS includes a song that diverges from the concept of the album and instead focuses on a social phenomenon that BTS wants to talk about, and just like Baepsae with each album BTS gets more and more bold but tbh they’ve been calling out corruption in society (extremely blatantly) literally since their debut
I just love that they put more stock in speaking up about injustices the they see over the fear that by making such a song broadcasting companies or just people in power (in general) will block them in some way
The fact that they've performed this at every show I've been able to attend just makes me so happy lmao
Still my favourite song tbh. Because it's such a banger but has multiple meanings. It's so amazing and really opened up my eyes to them. And all their albums have at least one song talking about current social events.
i LOVE your reactions!
I'm so glad that I found your channel a few days ago 💜🎉
Thank u!
Man the dance practice for this song is a must
Love your reaction and thoughts... Hope more people watch this.
I love that song because of their courage to speak up and also how relatable it is for me. Brazil goes through the exact same problems and my generation is getting the short end of the stick.
Baepsae, spring day, ddaeng, and spine breaker explanation videos made a big impact and led to my changing opinion of BTS. Prior to these explanation videos, I was only impressed by their dancing and nothing more. I thought their videos and lyrics were just random, weird, K-pop thing. I probably would not have delved further into the group and their songs if it weren't for these explanations by Koreans, knowing about their alternate universe, or getting to the members.
‘Born Singer’ and ‘NO’ are great follow up reactions for this song
For the records, HOBI ows Bapsae. With his iconic eye popping "THRUST" on their concert performances. 😊😊😊
This Song is not only for the younger generation, we older generation feel it too, it is hard to get a well paid job when you are in the 40's, 50's and 60's and especilly here in Germany.
Yeah, with their CEO's support they fight the system and try very hard to make things right. They've experienced so much injustice yet they never thought of just playing along to survive. Instead, they worked hard and showed their sincerity in everything they do. Now that they are huge, they didn't stop giving it their best and continue to speak for the small and powerless in society most specially in the music industry. In an award show when they made their award acceptance speech, Jin and RM bravely (but politely) called out to those practicing 'sajaegi' (chart manipulation) and wished that small but talented songwriters be properly acknowledged and respected. They wished that the mistakes of the 2010's will not be repeated in this new decade and that everyone will honestly make good music for the people to enjoy listening to.
The song that brought me into the fandom! ARMY ever since. Hard beat, killer choreo (their live of this should be illegal), and super socially conscious lyrics. You can bop to this AND give a middle finger to the establishment lol
"they will find a way to destroy you if you don't properly bow your head and show them respect as they screw you" hit harder than a loose eyelash ong
The job issue happens everywhere but Korea takes it to a whole new level. Looks, weight, etc also factor into getting a job. You should see some of the videos they have explaining the job hunting process. CRAZY STRESS!
That's why they had it really hard. They've gone through a lot and it seemed that big companies were trying to suppress their talents coz they know it'll gonna wake up a lot people. On Bang PD, he has the same view. He doesn't like the current situation and he wants to change it. BangPD and BTS have really great team!
I love your reactions
"Here in the US we call them interns!" So true. And this "passion pay" "exposure for work" thing is very prevalent in the creative industries for freelancers too.
Thanks for your reaction video to baesa... I didnt know that ... Now i know... That why i like bts music...
It IS amazing, isn't it! Glad you checked this out! ✌️🇫🇮
also the lyrics. those songs that have a savage words' meaning are they really own works☺️
BTS not only complain about society, but also their boss and their company even on their trainee days. Check out 'A Typical Trainee Christmas'. They talked about how they wanted to have fun on Christmas but all they had to do was only practising.
that's why they got a lot of hate because they are not afraid to speak the truth, and the reaason why everyone relates to them coz they make music based on their observations, opinions and feelings😊
the dance practice for this song is lit
A.r.m.y like to see all reactors watch "beapse mv explained"
