can you do whole album?
Amygdala
*I have a request* SUGA just dropped another MV for "Amygdala"... It's a very personal track for him. He have talked about his traumas. I hope you give it a shot!
Before you react to Amygdala:
SUGA mentions about his shoulder injury for which he went for surgery in 2020.
He had an accident in 2012 while working part time and lied about it in fear that the company might not let him debut with that case. Suga lied to his band members that he had fallen down the stairs, when in fact, he had an accident. “I was riding the bike, when I got hit at the intersection. The next day, I couldn't move my shoulder." said SUGA.
P.s-The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure that lies in the brain. The amygdala is responsible for the perception of emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness, as well as the controlling of aggression. It's also a center for creating memories and trauma.
Amygdala! I forgot you do these on Monday, and checked like 20 times over the weekend. 🤦🏻♀ Eventually went to Spotify to listen to your work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love to hear your take on Day D album by August D. I can't stop playing it 🔥🔥. Be a great live stream.
This song is written and produced by Suga (AgustD) ONLY . He did it all himself. 👑
He's too good to be real!😑🥲
GENIUS ❤
Suga is a genius mind and one of the best artists ever. He takes muziek to the next level and different dimensions. Respect!💜💜💜
No one does a lyrical and symbolic breakdown as impressively as Knox does and all that upon first listen.
No wonder why we all have been waiting for his very reaction 💜
💯
Totally
Fr
Super agree.
agree to this!
I can’t imagine how tough it is keeping up with the lyrics, the visuals, absorbing the production and things happening in the mix ALL while not knowing the language. You really don’t get enough credit. That’s tough and yet you still do more in-depth and intuitive breakdowns than the majority! We’ve all had the chance to watch over and over haha. I’m glad you looked up Haegeum, sometimes it’s needed and I’m sure now others have said that you were also spot on with the other meaning. You’re the man and I appreciate what you said about BTS and ARMY, and the way we get treated. You’re a very special friend and ally, long may that continue 💜 Fantastic reaction!
💯
Agree 100%
Super, duper, agree!!!
Not that hard lmao.
I'm impressed how quickly you catch on to the meaning of BTS' songs. You are correct in your interpretation of Haegeum. It is traditional Korean instrument but it can also be translated to mean "unlocking something that is forbidden". This is the way he uses it in this song. Great reaction! I hope you react to his other songs from this album as well. They are all amazing.
I agree totally, he got it right away.. deep meanings, but he got them.
Suga doing Good AgustD stuff. Loved it
I love that Suga keeps on doing this. he makes the title/chorus something that you actually have to look up, not something that even gets translated in the english lyrics.
Knox is almost spooky in his ability to figure out this stuff - I remember how much he pulled out of Daechwita on the first watch. And Suga likes to use layers of meaning, not really subtle but interwoven... Which seems to be how Knox thinks too. I always look forward to these 😁
I think it's more accurately translated to "lifting a ban" (it has a more political nuance, from my understanding)
I think that is most normal for Knox to catch the meanings because he need to enable one phrase with another hence he is a rapper. Fast thinking, the other thing, the language, but we Armys know how the messages go trough and connect with the emotions and the vibe, and research for culture stuff so we can have the better picture.
It so interesting going through these comments and seeing that Knox introduced many people to BTS because BTS introduced me to Knox. Talk about coming full circle. I've always liked how he breaks down their songs and was able to get the deeper meaning that was intended. Also haegeum is used in 2 ways, one is the traditional Korean string instrument because it's used in the instrumentation of the song and the other being "to lift a ban" (in the words of RM in the most recent episode of Suchwita) for obvious reasons
Yoongi said earlier that Haegeum isn’t exactly a “kind” song and he wondered to what lengths the lyrics would be taken when translated into other languages. He also said that he struggled to find the project folder containing haegeum to resume working on it (he’d finished the beat 3 years ago). It wouldn’t come up when he searched “haegeum” on his computer but later found that it was because he had named it 딥빡 (“Pissed af”) 😂 He was like “there must’ve been something back then that i was super angry about or something”. What a lad haha.
Suga said he did this storyboard right after Daechwita. He does storytelling so well! I keep finding new things and connections the more I watch. I also read that the market place in the mv is in Thailand and that the place is called: The "thief Market" and it was the first international shopping center after the abolition of slavery there. Apparently the market came to exist because The people freed from the palace brought goods they were given or had stolen from their former masters to sell them in this area. Thus "the thief market". This puts more into perspective and matches so well with the theme of liberation!
😯😯!
"I'm a King, I'm a boss." He killed the king in Daechwita and now the boss. Once again, killing off parts of himself. Yoongi never fails to blow me away.
I found BTS because of you too. They have helped me so much over the last couple years. Kept me going in what has been probably the worst times of my life, and I have you to thank for that. You’ll always have a supporter in me Knox 💜 Love ya.
same here ARMY. Knox really helps me feel like seen and heard. Sometimes people are so quick to overlook and judge their work and its great to hear Knox break it down
The way ARMY clearly get so excited to hear someone do an analysis of this depth and with a serious professional approach and understanding 😭 It’s sad really but just amazing that we have you Knox! That’s why we don’t want you to stop BTS breakdowns. Not only do you challenge stigma and prejudice against them but we just wanna talk about music man. We’re not in this for shallow reasons but not many will take it seriously. Except you. You are the goat. Period.
Knox, we were having a good conversation online the other day about your BTS reactions and we realised how many people you actually introduced BTS too who then became an ARMY! There were so many of us who followed you anyway for your other breakdowns. Just want to say that we love and respect you a hell of a lot. You are so talented at music and at breakdowns. Wish you always happiness and health and for your loved ones too. Thank you for being the reason I found my place through BTS' music 💜
That's the truth. I was here for another band's breakdowns and Knox's take on BTS was the first time I took an in depth look at BTS, and now I'm fully into them.
Same Knox was the first BTS reactor I found on the internet and I am very grateful because his analysis is the best!
@BTS stole my jams love the name you chose ❤
Thanks! Knox Hill is an OG breakdown creator for BTS & August D. He made me & so many join ARMY - Nobody does true meaning & finding Easter Eggs than Professor Knox. August D tour will be epic
Thank you so much for being the reason I found BTS. You are the reason I became Army. And thank you for introducing me to this fascinating genre called rap!
so cool.
I love armys so much 😂 when we saw that 'slave to youtube' line, everyone went: "we're going to wake up tomorrow and the mv is going to have 10 views!😢"
Your brain amazes me. What you said at the end was so intelligent and eye-opening. Wow. I’d also add that I think the first verse is a lot deeper than at first glance. When he says ‘Freedom of expression could be the cause of someone’s death. Would you consider that freedom?’ I think a lot on how many use the cover of free speech to say the most awful things. He really went in on this and I know you’ll love the lyrical content of the whole album. Is that a possibility maybe? Much love and thank you!!
Cinematography is so good, it takes from Old Boy (korean version), Hong Kong Cinema mostly, Shang Chi a bit (flashback fight scene), Joker (burning the money and hanging outside the car), and Scarface (in bath with money).
It's him showing that he owns the streets, not the corrupt cop. Also, in the song that just dropped, Amygdala, it shows what the scar means, in both this and Daechwita.
And since it's an Agust D track, and he can say/do whatever he wants, outside of idol "standards", swearing now is normal, but he smokes ... which would be a big no no in K-Pop, for them to be seen smoking, even tattoos (even though JK has a sleeve, and Jimin has moons on his back)
The Haegum is a two-string Korean fiddle, and also it's an expression "to lift the ban on something"
The smoking is also un unlocking of something that is some kind of forbidden. What i understood was that something he wanted to show but you can ofcourse put another subject instead smoking.
Yes to the HK cinema feels. I grew up watching John Woo movies with Chow Yun Fat and this was almost the same gritty feel of those. But the chopsticks ofc was totally John Wick-esque, don't give the man some pencils lol 😆 😂
The smoking scene in the mv I feel tho is shots fired for those haters lambasting Tae for that leaked photo on Grammys, and Kook for that alleged vape (they got pretty plenty of hate for that from armys themselves and other fandoms). Yoongi hyung to the rescue, blatantly, in your face lighting up a cigarette, shutting up those haters. The crux of the matter is that we, as FANS, should really mind our own business. They are grown men, we have no right to tell them stop this, stop that. Let us not be entitled. They are adults. They know what is right and wrong for them. We are here for their music and their message of positivity. We are not here to meddle in their personal lives. So I am really glad that Yoongi did this scene, so people can smell the coffee and touch some grass.
Ufff! You’re actually as genius as Min Yoongi ! The visuels, the bars (rythm and essence), the parallels, the breaking down is incredibly thorough and fast ! I’ve always been impressed by your reactions, but this one is mirroring your statement on this Agust D’s MV : it’s a masterpiece !
My man out here destroying all other reactors 🔥 What a breakdown! What an mv and track! Agust D upset a loooottt of people with his anti-capitalist lyrics. “But he’s part of the problem” “He makes a lot of money now”. So much ignorance. Someone spends their whole childhood in a working class family with no support for his music, then joins a company that's going bankrupt and suffers for years before succeeding against all odds. Just because BTS became a one in a billion success story, it doesn’t mean that they can no longer acknowledge reality and criticise the system. If we take the chopsticks symbolism into play - he is saying at the end that he’s part of the system too. There’s a difference. I love music!
My take on this “anti-capitalism” theme people talk about is that Haegum isn’t about being against capitalism - which allows people to be free to pull themselves to any height- but the corruption of the capitalist system. Power and self-indulgence replaces freedom and fairness for all.
There are a lot of hidden meanings in the mv. First, the word heugum, it is an instrument, but it also means to liberate something in Korean. Those chopsticks mean you kill to eat, and you eat to live. The two different characters are also important, Agust D is also someone that breaks the rules but he works for the police so people don't judge him and then you have the other Agust D that breaks the rules, kills and do whatever he wants without trying to hide it under a mask. Finally, he killing Agust D is his way of ending the trilogy
I agree with your assertion about over indulgence on social media because many TH-cam accounts I follow have gone into hiatus because their creator has had to deal with mental issues and mental health. What you said about likes and views is 100% accurate. To hear children talk about how many views or likes their post has received is hard to comprehend. This generation isn't being raised by parents, they are being raised by electronic devices and the internet. They then suffer from depression and many do stupid things that lead to violence causing many to be harmed. It's a vicious circle we live in.
Well stated
Love to see you cover the trilogy that August D suggested watching together. Amygdala MV just dropped so you have the 3 now. It's AMAZING
"Did he just John Wick him?" 😂😂😂 Best reaction ever! Really waiting for your reaction to this MV!
Your reaction is my cup of tea, explaining your interpretation of lyrics and MV compared to other who just says 'wow' and overreact without really getting the content of this masterpiece.. can't wait for your reaction to AMYGDALA 😊
Wow,this is the best explanation of this mv
You are a genius
It is a pleasure everytime i listen to you
Exasperated with the way YT are with BTS but glad more people are seeing the wood through the trees! Thanks for saying that man. We continue to 💪
He has apparently said in an interview: "The word “Haegeum” came to me when I was young. I played rhythm games, I loved rhythm action games. When beating a certain stage, you’d unlock a forbidden song, then you could play a new rhythm. It was a “freedom from the forbidden.” Why don’t I try and break free from those things?"
I also googled if the instrument was used here and yes it was, in the beginning of the song.
This was an incredible reaction. Honestly next level. There needs to be a new adjective to describe how good this was. My mind is even more opened and I can add to my already complicated theories ha. Thank you as ever. There’s some heavy songs in this album and I think you’d like to hear them, even just for yourself. He describes the things I struggle to so well even though it’s a completely different language. Amazing really…
dude, i'm so utterly impressed by your level of intellect and critical thinking. you nailed pretty much every level of this song, from the production to the lyrics to the visual references... unbelievable. i've seen your reactions to other rap/hip-hop content like epic rap battles of history and just recently the katt williams fiasco, so i've become aware of just how cultured and well-versed you are in a multitude of knowledge pockets! just amazing! i'm so glad you're checking out bts! also, RESPECT for calling out youtube and how the algorithm works against the guys. there's definitely some payola that goes on for other groups and content creators, but i love that you're keeping it 100. thank you, man. much love
Seriously love your interpretations so much, thank you for being so supportive of BTS and recognizing how talented they truly are 💜 Haegeum is a masterpiece and I’m so proud of Yoongi 💜
I really appreciate your interpretation and reaction to the song. I especially like your analysis of the fishbowl and the fish being constrained. I’ve watched this music video more times than I can count, but it never stopped to think about that relationship with the fish being constrained while he is singing about liberation.
yoongi (agust d) was the sole writer and producer of this track it really is a masterpiece. I really liked your thoughts. another way I interpret the chopsticks at the end is how it could be a reference to "eating from (the same) dirty spoon" and that could be on how he's been criticised in the past for speaking about anti-capitalism whilst being a rich and famous person. he is at the end of the day a part of the system he is criticising (which is how it is supposed to be imo because you can't criticise something you haven't experienced/are not a part of otherwise it seems in-genuine and out-of-touch). I think he is saying that at the end of the day he is also part of this dirty system and his spoon is also dirty (like the capitalists) and he just very self-aware because if he isn't going to criticise it, who is?
I hope this makes sense I am very bad at explaining stuff in English.
So glad you reacted to this! I love all your insights, you just have a way with interpreting lyrics so quick and in such an interesting and articulate way.
Okay, so 'haegeum' actually has 2 meanings in Korean. Yes, it is a two-stringed instrument heard in the mix, but it also has another meaning of "lifting a ban and allowing something that is forbidden," as IU explained when she interviewed Agust D. So you actually had the right idea at first, but looking up the meaning only gave you one definition, lol.
Love the reaction! Cannot wait to see what you think of 'Amygdala' by Agust D (MV just dropped today!).
Yess so aswell as being an instrument Haegeum has another meaning of ‘lifting the ban/freeing something’ so you were spot on!! This is kind of like a continuation of Daechwita and he’s JUST released a new mv which concludes the Agust D trilogy and links to this mv and Daechwita storylines. Knox you will love his new album too! It’s really got me in my thoughts man.
My Monday has been saved!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this. I just know this is going to be good! That excited that I’m commenting before watching 😅 He’s just dropped another mv that’s the conclusion to this particular Agust D trilogy (Daechwita - Haegeum -Amygdala) and it’s heartbreaking. It’s about his real experiences and I think you’ll have a lot to say from a mental health aspect. The album is 10 songs of brilliance. Some stuff has really hit me pretty hard. Thank you Yoongi for your music 💜
Exceptional breakdown 👏 It’s also worth noting that one of the reasons this is a conclusion to Agust D is that he doesn’t feel that his anger rules him as much as it did when he created this ‘alter ego’ as it were. He is at a point where he wants to break down the barriers of what stops him being completely himself, and saying what he wants as Min Yoongi or Suga of BTS. Suga said earlier in Suchwita that he wants BTS to last for as long as possible and I think he wants to have the freedom as himself without using a persons to do so. Much as they all do and will do when they return in 2025. For the time being, Agust D’s chapter is closed but when the “black goat in the right hand wakes up again” he will return (Suga’s words).
OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO HAEGEUM. HAVE A GREAT DAY 💜💜
Oh my gosh! I just love your reaction/interpretation of Haegeum! I think you really nailed it! Min Yoongi, Agust D, Suga is THE musical genius of this generation. Forget a Grammy, he needs an OSCAR! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You are the only youtuber I like that does reactions to BTS and any of their solo stuff cause you actually dive deep in the lyrics as well and you also dive into the production of the song. Ur pretty amazing for that, thank you 💜
Uhmmmm excuse me Sir, why did you completely blow my mind with this reaction? I was honestly amazed by how detailed your understanding of this song was. You were right all the time and i don't know why i haven't been following your channel all these while. Anytime i need better understanding of BTS songs, I'm coming straight to your videos and I'll keep following your other reactions too. You have the brains of a genius!
It has two meanings - the string instrument he used in the track and it also means lifting a ban, too
my most awaited reaction!!! I've been waiting for your reaction since day 1!!!! hahaha
I'd like to make an observation that most people don't notice: Suga always shows duality in every mv he makes, most of the time by playing two characters. There's always a conflict between the two of them. One of the characters always has a scar on his eye. I interpret that as an identifier to the character that represents his shadow self, the side of him that carries the traits he fights against, like greed, pride, shame, pain, trauma. And he's always attacking and defeating his shadow self, in other words, he's always attacking and defeating the traits that could turn him into a monster, as he says in "The Last"
Ngl, this is the first reaction I waited for when the mv was released 😊
Out of all the reactors for BTS MVs who interpreted their meanings behind them you are the one who is the most accurate and deep in them. I absolutely love reacting every one of them. Augst D just recently released another MV called 'Amygdala'. I cant wait for you to react to that. I Purple you. 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for dissecting this masterpiece. It's rare these days to find people who actually care for the meanings behind the songs. I also want to point out that this is agust d freedom song, he's not representing kpop which are their shackles. The industry usually condemn smoking, gore, and taking about real world problems. I love how these boys don't give a shit.
They could literally dominate the charts with generic pop that are for all audiences but this song and album are only for the few who really cares of what's important. Hip-hop should be like this, not about the cars and bitches.
Suga recommended watching the videos for daechwita, haegeum and amygdala together. There's a connection. Haegeum also means to lift a ban.
he just dropped amygdala mv too. it's things taken from his actual real life past. i hope you also react to that. it hits very differently i am just crying right now. your reactions always means the most , to me. you're so emotionally intelligent. it's going to be a song you love i'm sure💕
Watching your videos helps me learn English, the way you explaned the MVs and gave simple examples helps alot for non-English speakers like me, thanks 😂
Based on your train of thoughts about how people get canceled for not having the 'correct' opinion, I think you should really do the whole D-Day album review, especially the song Polar Night. I think you would really enjoy the lyrics in that one.
suga always doing masterpiece this song is fire he as always a genius 🔥🔥💜💜💜
Suga (AgustD) is a genius lyricist and producer. I love how someone reacts to his masterpieces who knows the meaning
I really like how you explained the lines so well especially that freedom and self indulgence one. truly truly nice
I was waiting for this!! 🔥🔥 No one breaks lyrics and mv better than Knox. Hope to see whole album reaction 🙏🙏
You really picked up on the freedom concept really quick. Freedom from things that are forbidden (Haegeum) can be interpreted in many ways. I always appreciate your reactions. So smart! You should do Amygdala by AGUST D as well. Just dropped today 👍🏾
Wow !! One of the best reactions.. You really made one of the best interpretations ..
Was waiting for urs and u didn't disappoint at all😀
Petition for Knox to react to ‘AMYGDALA’ by Agust D, it is also a great song with a very deep meaning and looking forward for you to break it down and analyze the song in the future!!
Knox approach the meaning of words, music, production of song and near it the meaning of MV. You are great bro. 👍 Only genius reactor, rapper could understand another genius rapper. Thanks for reaction again 👍
The song is a banger and you did a great breakdown 👏 👏
After Daechwita and Haegeum please do a reaction to Amygdala, the MV just dropped a while ago.
You are absolutely incredible!! I love that mind of yours. This is my fave Haegeum MV reaction.
7:34 Yeap but it also means something like "lift a ban" or" remove prohibition" That's why the lyrics are about freedom vs self indulgence and protest/riot or revolt.
Mr. Knox, you're kinda a genius. I really admire your knowledge and the way you use it. Watching your reactions is a pure enjoyment. Thank you so much.
This song is a Masterpiece!! Lyrics, screenplay, story line , Rap..... everything is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
An excellent second instalment of the Agust D trilogy and a great rap analysis as always. Thank you.
Freedom, self indulgent: There is a word in Korean and some other Asian languages which describe something that can’t be translated into English. The type of freedom which ENCROACHES ON THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS.
HAEGEUM = traditional Korean string instrument similar to one in Japan and China = Lifting of Bans / Releasing From Restrictions.
Location = Thief Alley, China Town, Thailand (where freed slaves traded their stolen and gifted goods)
Thanks always, Knox! I've got hooked to BTS more after watching your reactions and got curious with the BU because of you. The cop Agust D was the rebel Agust D in Daechwita, but as time goes by he became a corrupt cop and maybe the money SUGA burned down was the bribes. Yes, the other one is SUGA as there is no scar and he then ended Agust D because he's being corrupt. I love how Yoongi always kills the part of him who's getting greedy and how he always stays grounded. This D-Day is the last of the trilogy of Agust D and the start of his new chapter as SUGA or Min Yoongi. He named it D-Day because it's the time he's liberating himself from the shackles in his life and starting anew. He no longer has anger and he's finally at peace with himself. I'm so glad that he's now finally happy. Thank you again for an amazing reaction and I hope you can do the rest of the album 'cause every track is so good and we need your analogy too and tell us what you think. 😅😂
you're a philosopher. Always learn something new from you... much love
you literally never miss 😌 i still find it amazing how knox catches so many details in a single watch it’s so impressive
I’m just now realizing he also slung over his shoulder what looks like the uniform jacket that belongs to the cop version of himself when he gets outta the cop car to order noodles….possibly indicating him being all the characters in one person at the same time?? And this new rhythm has a positive outcome given the final choices made and he’s inviting us to get on board. Like instead of killing the guy, now he’s eating noodles. With the same chopsticks. A new haegum. Wow. Knox, you’re incites are rubbing off on me🫢I mean I could be wrong🤷🏻♀️but that just came to me💜great reaction; I learned a lot!!
For me, him having the jacket is just him stealing it just for the fun of it lol, because he's freedom and he can do anything he wants, at least that's how I view it haha
WOW. I have no idea how you could come up with these interpretations so quickly. Never caught the 2 strings symbolizing freedom and self-indulgence.
Now I don't remember if I got to you through BTS' reactions or metal reactions. Either way, I'm having an amazing journey. Great reactions, great breakdowns, I love seeing people actually being open to trying to understand and appreciate, while also showing respect for my fav 2 genres (metal and BTS hahahaha they are their own genre). People tend to let misconceptions and prejudice stop them from giving both a chance. Love it.
I must say that you're the best reactor I've seen so far the way you explain everything about the song about the lyrics is so impressed keep going on 💜💜💜👍👍
So proud of agust d like the power he holds in his raps
Oh another thing, you’ll notice Yoongi is smoking in this. That’s a hugely controversial thing to do on camera in Korea, especially for Idols. He’s talked in interviews about the pressures idols have to appear perfect and he has acknowledged BTS have changed that perception a bit and hopes him doing things like this will make it easier for others. So you can tie the smoking in with ‘freedom from what’s banned’ too. So much depth!!
You are brilliant in all your interpretation of BTS songs… so detailed and on point and i love you for that. Salute to Agust D for this incredible song👏👏👏
Fuck YT and the way the industry treat BTS and many other artists. I have a LOT to say about that and their constant uphill battle against those trying to keep them out for not playing the payola game. Would be very seated for a deep conversation about this with someone like you Knox! Know you’d have a very logical approach along with understanding from a human perspective. Anyway now that’s off my chest lol…
The tittle of the video it’s “Reaction” but what Knox do are complex essays. I really can’t tell how much I enjoyed and learned with your videos, thank you!!! 💜
Man I love the way you break the lyrics down. You are probably the only reactor who gets it. Gets the message they want to put out to the world. So thank you.
How is Knox so consistently perceptive every damn time? He always picks up on things that it would take other reactors 3 watches to half-way get. You just get it. You don't ever try to downplay it like "Oh I'm probably reading too much into this, it's probably not that deep." You let your imagination take everything in and make connections oranically. It's good that you got the 2nd meaning of Haegeum even though your google search only gave you one meaning. That in itself sort of feeds into the idea in the song that, it's not enough to simply rely on the influx on info. It's not enough to just take things at face value and ignore your own mind and imagination and perspective. You saw another meaning slipped in there and respected your train of though enough to see it as valid instead of letting the internet search talk you out of what you interpreted with your own mind.
Your analysis is next level! You are always on point and your interpretations are so vivid. You really are a messenger between Agust D and his audience.
Why did I just discover your channel? Omg your reaction is amazing and it's impressive how you dissect the meaning while taking in the music and the mv. Would love to see your reaction to "polar night " of Agust D's latest album, I'm sure you'd appreciate the lyrics and I would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Knox this might be a random comment but I feel like you are sooooo amazing at analyzing the meaning behind other musicians lyrics. I feel like maybe youre a literary scholar or something haha ; so quick to be able to understand the metaphors and analogies used in lyrics. You even make it easier for me to grasp whats being communicated and make it more clear to us as the audience. Thank you for that! I love your videos because of that and appreciate that you pay attention to the little details. Youre really talented in many ways and smart. I admire you🙏💜
Knox, I love your brain, seriously, just the way you dissect the music, the lyrics, the flow, the video, just shows how much you love and appreciate music. Annnnd we always appreciate an open minded individual, who sees beyond language, culture, race or prejudice. You just appreciate art, and my Deepest Respect to you for that, my man.
Oh I'd love that TH-cam discussion actually. It's often like shouting into the void and even though we are a big fandom, money still rules all. God Knox, this was the best breakdown. I am floored 🔥
Love how much you analyse the lyrics
You are the best at explaining things . Wow, Good job KnoxHill!
BEST interpretation ever!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
the chopsticks!! i've always wondered why use a chopstick when he could've used any other type of utensil or tool, but i just realized that it's another haegeum in itself: 2 sticks like the 2 strings in a real haegeum. and don't forget the 2 different ways the chopsticks were used: at first for self-indulgence of stabbing the guy in the beginning, but then used for eating the noodles at the end- nourishing oneself like knox said. the duality in this mv and the man himself is seriously insane.
and knox, i've been watching your vids for a long time, your reactions are the best imho thank u 🙌
Thank you Knox, the way you analyze and read into BTS songs, I haven't seen any other reactor do it better. Your mind is awesome 👍
You're the first person to identify a meaning behind the chopsticks and how it ties up at the end. Thank you for that! Accurate or not it's a solid analogy and very well may be close to the actual meaning behind them!
Absolutely love your reaction. Your analysis was excellent!
You always notice stuff other reaction channels don’t. I love reacting a seeing someone REALLY appreciate yoongi and his talent.
Haegeum also has the meaning of Liberation or straight meaning translation of lifting of a ban. Haegeum would mean freeing what is forbidden. So quick to pick it up right away. Love watching your reactions and breakdowns. I was waiting for your reaction! Thank you! Oh, Yoongi said that Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amgydala [which just released] are ment to be watched together as a series. I hope you react to Amgydala as well!! 💜💜 Thanks!
it's always amazing how you always notice sound and visual transitions & analyze the lyrics to the bone🤩... Haegeum has 2 meanings in Korean language and you surprisingly could figure them out 👏👍 Red chopsticks symbolizes "You eat to live" & "You kill to live" ..... I wonder why the "outlaw" Agust D took the jacket of the Agust D "cop" he killed..??
"Endless influx of information prohibits freedom of imagination, and seeks conformity of thought." It's lyrics like THIS that set Yoongi and BTS apart from everyone else.
Wonderful reaction, as always. I think the ending scene with the chopsticks represents an unbroken cycle. In Daechwita, commoner Suga kills the tyrant king Suga and in Haegum, the commoner becomes the new “mafia boss”-one who’s just as swept up in greed, power, money, etc, and is just as corrupt as the king he overthrew. The commoner became the very thing he fought against.
In Haegum, someone (let’s call him Joker Suga) steps up to overthrow the mafia boss. And he does. And the reason Commoner/Boss Suga smirks before he’s killed is because he knows that history is just going to repeat itself, and the cycle will continue.
And it does. Joker Suga becomes the new boss. Even though he’s committed a crime, he’s basically given a lift to a restaurant by the police-who are now in his pocket (corruption). He knowingly eats with the same chopsticks he used to kill an underling of the former Boss, while carrying the former Boss’ jacket over his shoulder. It’s a symbol of the continuing cycle and a sign that Joker Suga Will one day become someone who will need to be brought down.
I also think it’s a commentary on the trap of capitalism. What harms one person, benefits another. We’re all guilty of benefiting from the pain and exploitation of others. One person suffers so another may eat. We’re all hypocrites in a capitalist society.
And finally, it’s a criticism (and warning) of human nature in general. If you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you. If you’re not careful and don’t constantly check yourself, you may fall victim to the same behaviors you once condemned or sought to destroy. If you’re too narrow-minded and prideful, you may become the very thing you hate.
been waiting for your reaction to this but agust d just dropped another song/mv called amygdala and i'm crying while watching this reaction. i've gone crazy. lol
oh i'm so satisfied! of course! of course you'll deliver a brilliant analysis. the red chopsticks feel like his music which is also his job... he uses it as a weapon but also it's what he needs to nourish himself (means of livelihood). i was typing this and then you said it too! OMG! hahahahaha
“A lot of musicians will say they’re retiring and then they make another comeback. I definitely don’t want that to happen. It’s the last of the trilogy, not the last of Agust D"
He’ll be back 🔥 Knox you absolutely annihilated this breakdown. Perfection. I want to rewatch it straight away!
Min Yoongi is a musical genius. I love when he's in his element. He's brilliant. And so damn cool.
The way I only wait for your reaction and breakdown of the BTS new song. Thank you! So far you are the only one doing the BTS song breakdown and I really love it! respect!
did you notice the chopsticks are two pieces too? still on the haegeum- duality concept
I was waiting for your reaction. Yours is always gold!
