- BTS' Life Goes On and Dynamite are all amazing songs, but Dis-ease from their new album BE has a message regarding mental health/illnesses which makes it equivalently a meaningful song. David Kim(@justdavid_92) from DKDKTV breaks down the Korean lyrics and meaning of this song.

As a non-Korean speaker, I appreciate David's effort to explain all the word plays and how hopeful this song is despite the global crisis. As expected, BTS always will always shed light to a very dark topic. No other group can elaborate mental illness/health this way. Thank you Bangtan, you never ever disappoint. Amazing as always! 💜
Like with everything j-hope touches Dis-ease has layers and layers and like all his music he leaves the decision up to the listener how deep they want to delve into it, he doesn't demand what you take from the music, something I really appreciate, he makes it so you can take it at face value and just jam to the chilled rhythm, or you can delve deeper in the many layers j-hope has created. The title of the song is a perfect example of how he does it. j-hope is a real lyrical and musical genius.
You've said my mind. Im just in awe of him when I see things like this. He's truly amazing
He is amazing and I give props to Jimin for that bridge. Absolute killer
exactly!!!! such a genius
j-hope is a GENIUS. Real Genius.
Dis-ease is a masterpiece from the writing and composition down to the overall production
Dis-ease is the second most critically acclaimed track on the album after dynamite
J-hope really outdid himself with this one
He did, so did V and JK tbh! 👌
@@SOI-wl2lo Yes J-hope did👌
What does critically acclaimed mean?
@@tulip135 it means that something got positive review from critics
Dis-ease has gotten many praises from music critics in album reviews and magazines too. Also dis-ease got chosen too as a stand-out in the reviews
@@HobiSquishy yes ive been seeing so many good reviews it and blue and grey
bbygang also said in his video essay that when RM says "I'm ill" he could also be saying that he (RM) is such a workaholic to the point thay he becomes work itself, so it could be interpreted as "I'm 일". It's a really interesting wordplay.
And I’m ill in 90/00’s hip hop culture is a synonym for being dope, sick or cool. Ergo Nas’ “illlamatic” album - and we ALL know how much RM likes (Big) Nas 😊
'일' also means '1' in korean
@@bark3182 that could be referring to their recent success after they got number 1 on billboard 100 or maybe in general they are currently the number 1 boyband in the world
Ik namjoon's word plays have always been that way and they're very deep and interesting and most of the times they're not exactly what they seem. Something only his sexc brain can come up with lol.
@@sofiasalsabila9264 wait could that also mean that he's so much of a workaholic that he becomes one with the work. Idk lol i dont speak korean
J-hope is a genius song maker. He came up with the title, song vibe and the message in the song. Wrote almost everything in the song, wrote his verse, wrote the chorus and see through the entire production of this song. Every single part of it is perfect as what j-hope planned for this song. The song is being appreciated by many, from general public to critics to fans.
J-hope knows how to write a bop and thats a fact.
I love how the song sounds like it's trying to get over itself, as j-hope said in the interview. And expressing sorrow feelings in a beautiful way, yes, j-hope is definitely a genius.
‘it’s got j-hope written all over it’ - Sound of Consequence ! j-hope was the main composer on this song and you know the song would have such variety when it has hobi on it! it’s such a cool song, i personally love the word plays and the very 90s vibe that it has! Thanks for details :D
dis-ease is really a masterpiece, thank you j-hope!
Thank you j-hope!!!
The whole idea of this song was suggested and put in the table by j-hope. He mentioned it even how the "DIS-EASE" name comes to his mind and the meaning in his interview in Weverse and as the top writer of the song, I truly appreciate and thank j-hope for bringing this topic into the light bcuz it what people is suffering in their own conditions. Also, you can feel j-hope style of music in dis-ease, talking about deep/meaningful messages while having bright beats. And the old hip-hop beats!! j-hope composer did an amazing job there too.
Anway, thanks for the video and everyone say, THANK YOU J-HOPE for creating another masterpiece.
Absolutely:)
Rapline on this track killed! love how they each address the same theme but each bring something different to add to the topic, and then the uplifting hopeful bridge comes and wowwww
This is one of the many reasons why I fell in love with BTS.. that they openly talk about a taboo topic, criticize the society for its wrongful doings and still make it sound hopeful & not offensive.
And thank you David for always coming thru for us non- Koreans, the way u explain the wordplay and nuances of a word or a sentence really helps a lot. So thank you.
5:31 i watched a video that talked about RM's play on words here. "i'm ill/일"
1. (english) meaning he's cool, inspiration from hip hop language
2. (english) meaning sick, physically or mentally
2. (korean) meaning he's number one like on billboard
3. (korean) meaning work as you said, he defines himself with work
Edit: the link to the video
th-cam.com/video/ClMZw_n9sUI/w-d-xo.html
Wow; that is a quadruple entendre, that’s genius level writing there, didn’t even remember the sino number for 1 point!!!!
i think the video is deleted? but it was by bby gang!
@@rmya thank you!!! I checked their channel like 10 times. I thought I was misremembered
It was uploaded again.
he’s genius wtf
David, I cant thank you enough for this explanation & breakdown. As an ARMY you helped make this special song mean so much more for me. My '2020-anxiety' has been debilitating at times and, now through you,, knowing the cultural nuances of this song, I am once again, validated, heard & comforted by these 7 precious souls. I cant thank you enough. 💜
hope you're doing better! take care yourself cause better times are coming! stay strong💕
i feel like this song can represent j-hope so well: it is so deep on the inside but it expresses this deepness in a unique way, it sounds joyful and hope-full to a lot of people because it wants to heal them
I agree with you .... 'it is so deep on the inside but it expeesses this deepness in a unique way'
Dis-ease is simply the bst song on the album, it's praised so much by critics and is included in so many lists of top20-50 songs of 2020. Hoseok is genius for making it.
Dis-ease: masterpiece 👑
As a non-Korean speaker, I appreciate David's effort to explain all the word plays and the deeper meaning of the song. As expected, BTS will always shed light to a very dark or taboo topic, and encourage self-love. No other group can elaborate mental illness/health this way. Bangtan never ever disappoints. Amazing as always! 💜
Its similar in India , ppl who go to take some mental help are considered weak and fragile. I'm so happy that BTS are so open to mental health issues, never regretted stanning them 💜
And
thanks David
An hardcore Duck here❤
j-hope is amazing💜
Dis-ease Masterpiece
Dis-ease is my fav song of the album..a masterpiece. Thank you so much for your work😍
I really appreciate the "Explained by a Korean" videos, especially on such a layered song that includes great word play. I love the music and the theme, but the killer bridge is what's got me enthralled, listening to Dis-ease on repeat.
I really love this song, thanks for the explanation. 💜
I like so much how Hobi thought to use a confortable rythym to talk about a reality, so yeah, i feel identified.
I was listening to this song on loop for the past couple of days and I had my own deduction of what the lyrics meant. It is pretty similar to what you said but I liked a Korean's explanation of the double entendres of certain words and the idioms that we are not familiar with. I am pretty new to K-Pop so thank you for the explanation, David!
The best in BE! j-hope genius
Legend Jung Hoseok aka j-hope did an amazing song once again.
Thank You so much for this.
It's j-hope's song so the clever wordplay and Ingenuity is VERY Expected.
Agree 💯
This song makes me love BTS more and more. They always talk about social issues not in the offensive way but in the beautiful way with their amazing musics.
Everyone could really relate to BTS's music if only they would open their hearts and minds first instead of putting their egos and hating them for no good reason.
Dis-ease has been one of my favorite tracks out of BE ever since it was released but I hadn't checked the deeper meaning of the song. After hearing David's explanation, I daresay that this is the best song on the album because it reflects my struggles nowadays due to pandemic situation and other personal issues. Thank you David for sharing the deeper meaning of the song and giving your personal take on this. Always love the "explained" series!
Just when you think it’s not possible to love j-hope any more than you already do. 🥺 Thank you David for taking the time to do this! I love all of your “explained” videos. 💜
J-hope has created a masterpiece! Definitely been my favourite song since the album was released but seeing the double meanings that I didn’t know before- wow! These guys give so much with each song but this one really hits different!
it might be far fetched but my interpretation of the line “is it me or the world that is sick” could be about how this world is made to work for neurotypical people and if the roles where switched it would be the neurotypical people who where to be perceived as ill or sick I can also hear this message is the line “or is it just the differences in how we interpret what sick is?” ps: really happy for this video, dis-ease is my favourite of this album!☺️
Yeah I too interpreted it like that, BTS songs are always so objective yet subjective and straightforward
that's actually a great way of looking at the lyrics, i never thought of that!
I agree. The narrative that "evil people are sick" is ableist because it implies that mental illnesses make people evil which is super not okay!!
Thank you David. As an ARMY who does not speak Korean, I have had a much deeper appreciation of their music thanks to you. Looking forward to more on your channel! 💜
This song and “Blue & Grey” are my favorites off the album. I tend to gravitate towards honest, deep, and poetic music and it’s funny how they both give off such a vibe through different styles.
“Blue & Grey” is so melancholy. You are immediately and consistently immersed in this feeling of great sadness, although there is this hint of hope towards the end.
On the other hand, “Dis-ease” has a very infectious and enticing sound to it. You wanna dance to it but jhope introduces a discussion about the real difficulties the group has experienced, the battle within one’s self, and so on. It picks up in the chorus and then the bridge... omg SO invigorating. The emotion and JK/Jimin’s vocals REALLY get to me every time. Like hobi said, the feeling of overcoming something really comes through so strongly and forcefully. The song itself is acknowledging your reality, facing that reality, and then finding a sense of resolve with or finding your way through that reality. That’s what it feels like to me.
It’s just so empowering. It’s a whole journey. Hobi is a genius and BTS are legends 💜
We all know how brilliant of a lyricists BTS are but how amazing is David for translating it so wonderfully for the non Koreans... Thank you so much #justdavid always appreciate it 🙏
This has rapidly become my favorite song...no my favorite is Telepathy...no Fly to My Room...
...there's not a single song I don't like on BE!
The album is so dam good 💜
I hate it when people call BTS music trash. BTS works so hard and puts so much thought into their lyrics.
I'M FOREVER AN ARMY
Thank you so much for this amazing explanation!!! 💜
J-Hope is such a creative and a smart person, the way he played with words is really incredible 💜 and i really liked that he put some idioms in it 💜
J-Hope is genius!!! 💜💜💜
💯💯💯
Such a good song with an amazing message. You can always trust BTS to address important issues and voice their opinions about them through their music. Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining this song. 💜
this song is what I want to say this whole time.. pandemic.. i wanna relax dan rest.. but i keep feeling that i have to do something so i won't be useless.. i feel useless.. complicated but jhope just said it very well.. thank youu BTS💜
Dis-ease is a beautiful, motivational song and good message on it...
" Music speaks when words can't express your feelings."
💜💜💜💙💙💙❤️
Beautifully written & interpreted as well... Well done!!
Thank you! I really needed this! Dis-ease destroys my replay button! I jam to it every single day... 💜
My favourite song in this album, the lyrics are perfect even for a non korean speaker... they made me feel like i'm not alone that they understand what we are going through... specially when you have a boss that thinks that staying home is a vacation, you become obsessed with results and you can't sleep because of anxiety and then you can't work because you are not well rested... i believe that they gave me the courage to seek consultation and it was the best decision i ever made, there are things in life you cannot change but you can change how you react to it, how it affects you, one step at the time
thanks for this David,. I'dd skim read an English translation of the song but hadn't really taken in the full meanings before, this was very enlightening
This is a great explained! Thank you for giving Dis-ease love!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Yes!
My favourite series
I was missing David's reaction to bts songs and here now he explained it so well.
sometimes I see some people recommending bts rappers and they don't mention jhope. I think it is very disrespectful because they all have their own "color" and they know what they do, rap is not a competition of who does it faster or stronger. I know that everyone has their tastes but I hope they can also give Jhope a chance and recommend him too because his lyrics, although seen in “funny” rhythms, are very deep and have very deep meanings as well, he can give you that ray of light that you need in your life and prepare you to be able to see things with more positivity and move forward despite everything.
Siii, Mainly I think it was has a lot of rhythm, he gives strength to the songs ...🙂
J-Hope's parts are what I look forward to the most. I'm rapline biased but also J-Hope is my ultimate bias for that reason he is so unique and he deserves so much more praise and recognition for what he's done and is doing with BTS
His part or verse is what i always excited for in a song.... If u listen to it... His lyrics really deep but j-hope geniusly makes it such a bop and so cool.
이번 앨범에서 제일 주목할만한 곡이죠 감사합니다
DAVIIDD! ALWAYS LOVE YOUR EXPLAINED SONGS VIDEOS!!! Army's were already piecing the bits - especially with Namjoon's ill and work word sound play. But everything else, it's explained so beautifully in this video!! Waaah wowowowowow. It really adds a whole other added WOW jaw dropping factor to lyrics that were - on the surface- already amazing. Just. Amazinggggg!
bts's songs already so meaningful for us but with you we can understand them better. thank u dkdktv :)
J-Hope is creative He composed and wrote Most lyrics of the song .There were positive global responses to this song Many critics praised this song . Thank you for the explanation
So thankful every time David explains the Korean lyrics of BTS songs!! I’m not Korean but love knowing more about the culture! Thanks David!!
Every one: this is the worst year.
Army: not for us
Stan BTS for a better life:)
For the love of god enough with this tired ass lines
@@HobiSquishy well it was my first time using it btw
You mean kpop stans. This year was so good for kpop
@@gummynoodles9036 yesss
This was a really nice and complete-feeling take on dis-ease. thank you so much for spending the time to make this video and bringing this to us, David!
I like that they express what they feel in their songs, since it seems they do not want to be labeled as weak.
They should know that we don’t see them as weak when they cry or feel sad, they are wonderful men with a lot of love to give.
Thank you so much for explaining this beautiful song.
Greetings from Peru 💜
Wow! VisitSeoul TV and DKDKTV my favorite Korean YT Channels!!😊 Thank you David for the song's explanation!💜
제이홉 자작곡 "병(Dis-ease)" 정말 멋진 곡이죠. 오늘은 리파이너리29에서 뽑은 2020년 올해 베스트 29곡 중 유일하게 들어감!!
This is one of my faves songs of this album, maybe bc of the melody of bc of the lyric, I think it deserves a award itself. It's a masterpiece. Thank you for appreciate it like it should.
This is my favorite song on the album. I love the way it sounds and the rhythm and chorus. You just made me love it more. Thank you David!!
Say Thank you to Jhope for giving us this masterpiece 💜💚👏👏
Thank you j-hope!
I’m loving BTS day by day. Their songs are really such a great positivity to my life.
Thank you David. This is one of my favourite songs on the album and I felt the double meanings but learning about the Korean idiom and language nuances makes for a deeper understanding.
Omg i love how clearly you describe this song Thankyou so much i need this . Thankyou:) and jhope the main written and composer:)
BTS DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS SONG! A deep, meaningful song, relevant to our times...that is SUPER catchy! How do they do it every time?
Because BTS IS THE BEST!
Thank you David for another great video! I hope you and Danny end up doing one for every BTS song! BORAHAE!💜💜💜💜💜💜🤟
this song its soo amazing. It's actually my favorite song from the "BE" album and it has such an amazing message but also its a freaking sexy melody. I can't wait for them to be able to perform it live
평 is one meaningful song💜
The way our king jhope wrote the lyrics in such deep meanings.🔥 dis-ease is a masterpiece..
Damn the way the complex meaning of the lyrics and the rhythm of the song perfectly fit with each other really mesmerizes me! Dis-ease is my favourite song of the album
제이홉 음악까지 잘만드냐 알면알수록 진짜다ㅠ 제이홉 알엠 슈가부분 중의적표현이나 언어유희들 정말 잘 설명해주시네요 고맙습니다.
Thank you for explaining it to us! It means so much to me because I know how the pandemic of Covid19 causes mental illness to a lot of people I know. And thank you BTS for your music for healing!
Thank you David for this video. DKDKTV always has the best explanation videos. Love you guys 💕
Thank you so much for your effort to ensure that non-Korean speaking audience would understand all the hidden meaning of the word play.
Out of all the verses, I love the bridge the most. It gives me that pump up feeling every time I listen to it. Now, knowing the meaning, I'm amazed by how BTS's sincerity can unbelievably be delivered to the listeners even when we don't understand a word. Coz I've been battling to relearn of who I really am and accepting my true self, my weak self. And it's as if the bridge talks directly to me. I'm so grateful for this song.
I cannot Express what these lyrics mean to me, it's incredible how many layers this song has. For me that's one one BTS strongest characteristics, you can always interpret a song for yourself, they don't force an opinion on you, it's more an encouragement think what it could mean for you. I got several new ideas from this wonderful interpretation and as a non Korean speaker I wouldn't know what to do without you David.
I agree with a lot of your opinions but I have also some thoughts of my own.
I admitted to myself that my adhd is a chronic illness this year. It took way to much time, mental energy and many, many dark thoughts but I'm beginning to be okay with it. But most of the people arround me still think I'm just being lazy and stupid and it hurts like ... a lot.
I believed that my whole life and messed with my mind to an unbelievable extent, so seing BTS talking about mental illnesses like this is really what I needed.
It's the validation that it's okay to feel weak sometimes because I'm I'll. It feels like they believe in me to show everyone i' not stupid. I stopped believing that I can do anything and not fail so many years ago, it feels like my whole life. And now they tell me to fight ON, to believe in myself, to love myself...
They truely are the reason I'm still here, if I want to admit it or not.
Without them I'd either be completely broken or dead by now.
This year was so hard but messages like this are a little light that can help you find a way out of your own darkness.
Thank you for explaining and translating David. I appreciate your work!
And I'm glad to see the that you hopefully got paid for it this time ?
Thank you, David, for sharing your understanding and perspective. I love this song for its sound and message. I can't get enough of it!
thank you so much for the breakdown, david! dis-ease was just recently released, but has got me through some hard times with it's unique, triumphant instrumentals and inspiring lyrics. this is why i stan bts and will continue to do so!
Dis-ease is just a masterpiece and just everything about it is perfect and i cannot emphasise that enough. From the absolutely immaculate wordplay by hobi and joon to yoongi's dark yet true take on the world to the overall production of the song.,its just absolutely beautiful and flawless. J-hope's artistry is kinda underatted and dis-ease just goes to show how unique his perspective is and how much of an amazing artist he is!! He really outdid himself and am sooo proud. Dis-ease is my #1 favourite from the album and its probably gonna stay that way for a long long time.
Thank you for that explanation. I know their music is deep, so many layers from the complexity of the music, production, and design up to the word play, lyrics, and interpretations. What I really appreciate is the explanation of the Korean perspective because I just don’t have that available to me except through others. I trust and enjoy your interpretations. Happy Holidays!
I love this song sm
My favorite track. Thanks David!
Thank you for your explanation of the song.
BTS'S whole album BE is a true gem.
Every song has a special meaning.
I would appreciate it if you can give your personnel inside on every song.
My favorite song is:
Fly to my room.
I can relate to it.
I've been in the hospital during COVID19 (not because of Corona but, due to colon cancer) so my world was actually very small.
People couldn't visit me because of the pandemic.
I 🙏 really hope that BTS will do something new and special with their album BE.
I hope that they'll make for every song an official musicvideo.
It would mean the world to me (I think for more people).
This is truly for me personelly a healing album.
So I'm greatfull to BTS for making all these songs.
I won't be able to say thank you in person to RM, Suga, JHope, Jin, Jungkook, V, Jimin because they don't know me and I don't personnely know Them.
I have their album.
I know I can't read Korean but, that's okay.
Listening to their songs are enough to me.
It helps me. It gives me hope because;
Life goes on.
Wishing all members of BTS all the best in the world.
💜🍀🇳🇱🌷
This is my favorite song off the Album! Whenever I hear the bridge I feel inspired :) So happy you decided to do this one! 😀💜
dis-ease continues to be my favorite b-side off their new album!! this is great. thank you!!
The fact that disease/dis-ease is posted in this channel is such a great move. I hope these would reach Koreans hearts.
Thank you so much for your insight! Life Goes On & Dis-ease are my favorite songs on BE! I love the song even more now!
Thank you as always for taking the time to make these explained videos ❤️ they always bring new meaning to the songs we already love, we appreciate you!
This is a fantastic analysis. Thank you so much for this video and walking us all through it. The editing is really nice as well. 🥰
I really appreciate your explanations so much! I also have been struggling so much this year. I'm a nurse who has been on a covid unit pretty much since this pandemic started...and my mental health has suffered much. Thank you for helping me be closer to Bangton and feel less alone. Also is is odd that I feel like I should be watching ng this on DKDKTV? Lol have a great day David!
i hope you're doing better now! thank you for your service, it must've been hard for you. stay safe and stay strong, i'm sure better days are coming! hold tight till then❤
@@taesfilter3026 Thank you so much for your kind words! I am taking one day at a time, as we all are. We will get through this! I hope you are well and staying safe also! I purple you!
Thank you for this explanation and for your take on how it might help Korean society be more accepting of mental-emotional illness. Even before I learned what the song is about, it was my favorite song for its beat/vibe/feel. And being a psychotherapist, I appreciate the song and message even more now
this was already my favorite song off BE, but this video made me appreciate it 77,777,777,777,777 times more than I did before...
💜 Dis-ease 💜
I already loved dis-ease but I appreciate it even more now. Thank you
The best song of the album
Hobi exudes a unique aura
It's always amazing how he can mingle diverse topics and music genres together
Nobody does it like him and
Yeah bts lyrics NEVER disappoint
BTS=ARMY 💜
From lyrics to melody to over all vibe. You just can't deny how creative and talented they are. They made song so meaningful and beautiful and most importantly inspirational.
Yeah, this song deserves more recognition! BTS never fails to give us songs that expresses themselves, something so real, something so relatable. It came into my life just exactly when I needed it
I swear i was so sick and tired with all the songs trending that time,, they were all love songs and all about hope and i dunno it just made me feel more like crap cuz despite all this people are feeling all those love while I can't even see any hint of that in my life. Then there comes dis-ease and I am hooked in it after hearing it for the first time. I was able to kind of grasp the main message of the song, and it touched my heart so bad that it rised up to my personal charts. Watching this just gave me more evidence and proof of the main message that I was able to understand upon hearing it for the first time. I was able to find comfort in this song, it's just so relatable and I totally felt the connection, I can even use this song to express myself rn. They are just so real, and so human, and it takes a lot of courage to voice out what's really happening. BTS never fails to give me all this comfort whenever I needed them, that's why I stan them so bad!
i just fell in love with this song a million times more now. thank u sm for this !!
Thanks David for this video, it was great as always! I love this type of videos as I’m able to understand better the lyrics and Korean culture
God
I can’t even tell u how much I love those videos💜🙏🏼
I can't believe it took me this long to dive into the explanation from "Dis-ease," which has become my favorite track off of the BE album, and perhaps one of my favorites amongst their entire discography. I would just jam and get excited whenever it came on, but thanks to this insightful explanation, I appreciate it even more now. Thank you so much for all that you do and for helping us fans appreciate their message.
