"There's still gonna be some fucker who wants your carrots" might just be my favourite breakdown of this song I've ever heard. Easily tops any other explanation for me LOL
"this is little bit deep for a track like this" 😭😭 i mean almost all of his songs are sooo deep! if you listen to "the last" without looking at the lyrics you would never imagine how strong and deep the lyrics actually are tho ..
@@MorePara8 yesss! you can definitely feel the emotion on his delivery for sure
true and first love is also very emotional and deep.
Hard rap does not have to have empty lyrics, that is a misconception about rap in general. Conscious rap is always hard but meangingful and meant to make people think.
@@PurpleFlowerwork YES I AGREE!! i'm completely aware of this, i just mentioned this based on the comment he did about the track
@@MorePara8Yeah definitely. I first listened to The Last without lyrics bc I was in the car but had to stop straight away because I had to know what he was saying - I could just tell from the emotion in his voice. Felt the same way about Snooze
Oh your reaction is AMAZING I love when people LISTEN to their music, try to understand it and analyze the lyrics, I love to see when people are ACTUALLY paying attention to the artistity of BTS, not just nodding their heads saying "wow this song is amazing" I love to see people actually dig deep into the songs
I hate those kinds of reaction channels! They don’t add anything to your enjoyment whatsoever 😫 I’m glad you liked the analysis! I try to do these artists work a kind of justice when I listen so I’m happy it’s appreciated! 🙏
@@TeddyGreyOS yes, ty so much for trying to understand. Suga always deep and raw.
Part of his genius is he doesn’t just make the beats, he is the sole credit on this song. He came up with the MV concept and is a visual story teller. So many details from things like the rooster he was born in the year of the rooster and both Daechwita and this have it. His choice of location is a place in Thailand which was known as the Thieves Market and was were slaves were sold. Don’t tell me people who have the attention to every detail they do didn’t do that in purpose. Soooo much to dig into. Even smoking. It is the biggest no no for a kpop idol to ever get caught smoking. It’s illegal to show people lighting a cigarette on Korean tv and he said fuck it and did it to break the ban on it. Masterclass on the punk ethos of fuck it all.
The red chopsticks: (1) Someone mentioned the red chopsticks in Oldboy (2003) (2) The same chopsticks he used to kill others he had to use to eat = commentary on being in the industry if not the world in general
(3) Haegeum is a traditional Korean string instrument similar to a Chinese and Japanese one but also Korean word for cancelling restrictions or unlocking freedom (someone correct me since I don’t understand Korean)
(4) Freedom expressions which kill others = note the high suicide rate among kpop artists. One just passed a few days ago
(5) The location is China town in Thailand called Thief Lane. A historical place where freed former slaves sell the stuff they were given or stole upon being set free. - Now link that back to the story in the music video and the lyrics. Someone stealing, corrupt powers and institutions, killing to feed yourselves, freedom, enslavement.
(6) Talking about freedom and indulgence while the MV shows him smoking = many talk about how a simple act of smoking for adult male idols is sufficient for them to be criticised by some kpop fandom and the korean media. Which is over the top and toxic.
It reminds me of a 30 year old idol from the early 2000 who cried in frustration as he was hounded by the media and fans for having a girlfriend. That’s right. The 30 year old had a love life. There is a clip of it somewhere I am sure which was hard to watch as his mother sat next to him crying too during a press conference. EXTREMELY UNNECESSARY SUFFERINGS in that industry resulting in the demise of many. And for what? Anyway. This is what this song does to some of us. Think deeply, feel strongly.
THANKS FOR THE REACTION!
Haegeum is a song about unlocking our new potentialities, freeing something previously forbidden. The word “Haegeum” triggered a lot of curiosity after the track was released, and it has a double meaning. On one side, it’s a traditional Korean string instrument that has a very peculiar sound.
I got this info from other ARMYs.
It's a rythm.
But the main meaning is "to free what's forbidden" or Liberation of what't forbidden.
@@ruthfischer7615 I agree with you. 💜
I couldn't get his concert tickets because I'm 66 years Japanese old lady and I couldn't move my mouse first enough 😭
@@erikoenglish1651 Maybe try again later? I mean there are supposed to be tickets again (or resales).
Good luck!
@@ruthfischer7615 I don't want to get resale tickets 🎫. But I will go to South Korea next year.
@@erikoenglish1651 I hope you'll have fun than!
💜
Haegeum is a traditional Korean string instrument with two strings, kind of "folksy" and often used to portray a lot of emotion.
It can ALSO mean "break a ban" or "liberation".
This song is a kind of sequel to Daechwita, another amazing song/MV of his - Daechwita means the official, traditional music played when the king/emperor arrives, or when his army arrives on official business, so in many ways the very opposite of haegeum.
奚琴 and 解禁
Agust D is crazy and his mixtapes are now full circle. It would be very much appreciated if you choose to check out some more of his work 🙏
I wish that too
same pls teddy
The way he produced the beat around the actual instrument Haegeum, the subject matter, the delivery, I love this guy sm!
Yes...BTS is sooo misunderstood... they've always been pushing the envelope for what kpop idols can do, swearing, writing their own songs,talking about every topics, drinking (Jimin not Jin in his album where there's set me free 2), suicidal thoughts, societal issues, that's literally their foundation, why they have the following they have and they are always taking huge artistic liberties (as a group and even more solo) since day 1 (The first video on bangtantv channel is literally a freestyle by RM telling young people to vote😂)! They'd collab with the biggest artists one day, and with the most underground guy the other, they don't care they just keep their artistic integrity! Always.
This song is the primary example, it's a haegeum= freeing yourself and he intentionally smoked (which is not possible in kpop) because he said if a 30 year old can't lit up a cig in an mv without backlash there's an issue with how some people view idols!
They fall under more this lineage of artists in a gray area between indie artists and idols (like Seo Taiji, Epik High...)! That's why they've always been rejected by K-pop, K-pop fans and misunderstood by people outside!
Anyways oversimplying because could go on for hours on this thanks for the reaction 😂
I'm a Stay and Army, but I find sad that this reactor still undermines BTS
Suga once said that a BTS album isn't complete without at least one song that criticizes society. Even their debut song, "No More Dream", released when most of them were still teens, was a criticism towards their fellow teens, most of whom just follow the life plan that adults have set for them, without having any dreams of their own. Their second lead single, "N.O.", criticizes the Korean education system.
When they're not criticizing society, they provide hope and comfort for their listeners.They strike a difficult balance between being realistic and hopeful.
This probably shows most clearly in their pandemic album, "Be", where they have songs about depression "Blue & Grey" and being workaholic "Dis-ease", but also about making the most of being cooped up "Fly to My Room" and staying connected "Telepathy", and of course the title song "Life Goes On" summarizes our collective experience of those times.
Philosophy lessons in the middle of a rap session? Welcome to the BTS rap line. ;)
almost all of his songs are soooo deep and meaningful... that's what i'm looking for in his music - strong and very talented lyricism. yoongi is such a talented character, such a good songwriter and producer. that's why he was my first EVER bias in kpop. his every solo song is a masterpiece, and his new album got me thinking a lot about the stuff that i was thinking about recently and also that i wasn't even aware of. music can be so various sometimes, and i'm actually happy that i can appreciate all of the genres of it, as well as listen to it constantly...
Haegeum” means “allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden.”
It took me about 2 hours to get through the D-Day album, because I had to stop and think/ponder/question. BTS and all the individual members have always had this effect on me. Correction: not just me, but millions of others also. They have trained us to question and think.
I appreciate this comment 💜
Thank goodness there are people out there like them who are encouraging others to think instead of just blindly following whatever is being said in the media and so forth.
From 'EnjoyMoreBTS' : "The actual term ‘haegeum’ is a Korean word for a two-stringed, traditional instrument with a pretty peculiar sound. However, the word "Haegeum (解禁)" also means 'to unlock the forbidden thing'. Suga explained during an interview with singer-songwriter IU in April 2023 that the word ‘haegeum’ came to him when he 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?” So, the song serves as an expression of freedom for the BTS rapper, a means to escape from the constant demands of society. Haegeum’s meaning is deeply co-related to the overall Agust D theme which mainly talks about greed, anger, ambition, and success and how to break free of one’s personal flaws. The change in Suga‘s mindset is reflected in the progression of the Agust D narrative. In Daechwita the lyrics show Suga embracing his ambition and inviting the listeners to join in this journey of becoming who they want to be. In Haegeum, Suga is more mature. More than the worldly definition of success, he declares that freedom of expression (lifting the ban) is more important.
The verses of both “Haegeum” and “Daechwita” refer to SUGA’s career. They’re both aggressively confident songs, meant to highlight the rapper’s achievements. While “Daecwhita” focus on the people who dismiss, hate on, and try to belittle the artist, “Haegeum” shifts the attention towards a greater system, instead of individuals. Its lyrics comment on the age of misinformation, selfishness, and greed we currently live in, with some very poignant statements about current times such as “Interpretation is free for all. Freedom of expression could be the reason for somebody’s death. Could you still consider that freedom?,” and “Slaves to capitalism, slaves to money, slaves to hatred and prejudice, slaves to TH-cam, slaves to flexing. Selfishness and greed have gone off the rails…”. The content of each song’s lyrics informs both music videos, as a less privileged person struggles to end the reign of unchecked power brought on by the figures of the mad king and the corrupt police officer."
"I'm actually getting shivers just from like trying to find the meaning of this"
absolutely me after every bts realease and then when i get into all the theories, details and explanations it keeps getting better and better
defo my fav kind of rap/music too
See Minerva Grey's comment. She explains it perfectly.
Agust D is a different kind of beast from BTS. He is so lyrically clever and his songs are always deep and ripe for delving into and interpreting. He's my favourite for a reason, another excellent track. Also well done for not breaking anything this time Teddy 😜😁💚
"This is a little deep for a track like this" Hard rap does not have to have empty lyrics,it use to be very conscious and thoughtful music until the current generation perverted the genre with shallow lyrics about women, drugs, and money. It's okay to talk about those things, but it is HOW you talk about it. BTS using their lyrics to express what they appreciate about women, to make people think about what money does to us as people, and call out rappers who try to make drug use cool. Songs do not have to be slow or melodic to be meangingful. That is what I love about RM and Suga's music
We may be a part of different fandoms and shit but we have to admit the talent! 🔥
I will always speak up for talent because that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Despite me finding Stray Kids first I think I’ve still played “Set Me Free Pt.2” more than any other song since it came out - might end up being the same with this one too! I might be a Stay but I would never ignore talent - wherever they’re from! BangChan often advises us to listen to everything we can because inspiration can come from anywhere! 🫡🫶
@@TeddyGreyOS Just so you know going forward, Set Me Free Pt2 is Jimin, not Jin.
@@histfictfan4460 exactly what i said. UwU
exactly!
@@TeddyGreyOS good for u. Ty.
3:50 Honestly, I think a lot of people who are just hearing about BTS or who are relatively new to KPOP, have this view of them. And I understand that, because they are experiencing a time in which BTS are not necessarily universally loved, but are definitely revered. I think its because they have reached a certain level of critical acclaim... but it hasn't always been that way. For me, BTS are examples of authenticity even in a highly curated industry and I think it has a lot to do with their history as musicians and artists (and their journey through different 'sounds'), but also as individuals who were working really hard for a fighting chance at the beginning of the careers and very well could have been one of the groups to never make it, had they not pushed through the adversities.
In general, I love that KPOP is so insistent on introducing new sounds and allowing groups to step into different genres- but BTS really take this to the next level. They are not monolithic, but instead are artists who place value in honouring the different parts of ones identity... and that's why something like their "Love Yourself" campaign actually worked and had significant cultural impact; because they lead by example and create art that is sometimes fun/groovy, tragic/cathartic or otherwise speaks about real societal issues. We all have those sides to us, its what make us human, and BTS really isn't afraid to share those sides of them.
So often artists feel constrained by the formulas of their industry or they experience success and then feel pressured to continue making work in only one way, but in many ways BTS opened up a lot of freedom within the industry for future generations of KPOP to create in an authentic way and speak more openly about their thoughts, both personal and about the world.
Of course they still are careful with their image to some extent and have a lot of unfair pressure placed on them (which they every now and again are quite vocal about)... perhaps thats a bit of what comes with being on the world stage in this age unfortunately, but I think they have built an incredibly dedicated relationship with their fan base through years of being honest and caring towards their fans...and in turn, their fanbase is proud to watch them grow and explore different sides of themselves.
12:46 lmaooooo this is bts at its core. They are literally the most educated rappers in the Korean rap industry. They don’t just know how to rap, they know literally everything about rap history and out of all their songs, AT LEAST 90% of their songs are meaningful in some way, and when they are doing diss tracks it’s for a reason. Almost nothing is as it seems when it comes to bts’ mv’s and lyrics. The misconception that bts’ main genre is pop, they have no substance, and they aren’t mature or are in it for the money kills me because their popular English songs were literally just made to make people happy during Covid, and then everyone saw those songs as their whole discography when they’re so much more than that. In fact, the rappers of bts, as they all started in the underground rap and dance scene, are the ones who inspired almost all of the kpop rappers at the moment. Even the vocalists are extremely educated on rap and hiphop history. They’ve been a group for ten years, literally started as a hiphop idol group who were the only ones at that time to call out the older generation and the Korean school system. They were ridiculed for years and years because of their company not having money, the rappers changing from the underground rap industry to the idol industry, even their name was made fun of. BTS are much more mature and talented than what you think, something to learn is to NEVER expect any member of bts not to come out with something calling out society, talking about mental health, or cussing. Honestly in bts it’s no where near a big thing to cuss, so it shouldn’t be shocking when it happens if u read this comment 😂
yesss, thank you for listening to me, can I now be smug and say "I told you so"? When I started looking into the lyrics I knew you'd lose it
You were right - you know me too well 😭
You made every army (name of the millions of us who support and love the boy’s unconditionally) very very happy when you said you like to pause to read and understand the lyrics. Thank you!!
Its so funny because this is what BTS has been doing since they debuted, calling out the industry, using double meanings in their songs, calling out ignorance and prejudice, etc. It seems like you always hold yourself back from going any farther than reacting to their solo work and I know it's your channel so of course you will react to what you please but if you genuinely gave BTS a chance along with their old songs, you'd see that they never put themselves on a high pedestal or have let their success stop them from speaking on what they want and going against social norms. BTS may not be a strictly rap group but they explore new genres and have a deep passionate love for music.
He was saying shady things towards BTS last December. When ARMY called him out on Twitter, he backtracked and called army toxic. That's why he doesn't react to a lot of BTS. Even when he does react to their music, he says weird things like "I thought their music would be less deep". Like that's such a backhanded thing to say. Pretty much every BTS song he has reacted to has been deep. So idk why he would even have that impression about them. He reacted to Joon's wildflower a while ago. Even in that video, he was saying some weird things like he wasn't able to "understand" what Namjoon was trying to convey. It was really strange because Wildflower's lyrics are pretty straightforward.
@@zizi1306 yea ive watched his past bts reactions too and every single vid rubbed me the wrong way esp how he somehow thinks stray kids of all people are better than bts like bffr.. so i left his content alone for a min n then seen this pop up so i watched it but yea it pisses me off how he keeps making these back handed 'compliments' towards the boys anytime he react to them like get over yourself..
@@namjinseokeats I watched one of his skz reactions just to see if he's always like this. But in the skz video, he was waxing poetic about them for the smallest things. It's clear that his reactions aren't genuine. I wish TH-cam ARMYs would stay away from this man.
@@zizi1306 honestly, knowing that he worships the floor that group walks on and then acts like a complete music critic towards BTS js tells me enough. I remember when he reacted to RM's song, 'Joke' and criticized the whole song when the whole song was literally a joke to begin with and he acted like namjoon didnt know what he was talking abt. Its crazy bc js KNOW good n damm well skz lyricism n raps isn't even beating pre debut namjoon yet somehow he eating them up and then acting like bts are the ones that make mediocore and 'meaningless' music.. whole time he listening to music that sounds like it was made in a mechanic shop and calling it fire.. please.
Almost all of BTS’s tracks have a deep meaning like this and many criticize the government and society and the self/ego. That’s actually a major reason why they are my favorite group, because their songs and messages are so meaningful and reflective. (Also Yoongi’s anti-capitalist agenda lol) Most of their songs are very philosophical and are tied together in some way, even if they have an upbeat/more pop sound. An example is anpanman! Very cute and bubbly song about a children’s tale, until you look up the meaning of the lyrics lol.
I also think I suggested Yoongi’s (Agust D/Suga) song ‘first love’ to you on Patreon a while ago. That’s another very deep and meaningful song by Yoongi that has more of a sound that matches with the mood if you’re interested.
Thank you as always for your openness and appreciation 🙏
I think due to the success of Butter/Dynamite/PTD unfortunately people seem to think that’s BTS 😭😩😩 When in reality their music and lyrics have always had a hard hitting meaning and actually those 3 songs are isolated and the ones that are out of the norm.
@@Jubilee88 absolutely! I’ve been an army since 2015, so I was able to see them grow and progress with their music and messages. It’s always hard for me when people assume that they’re just any other boy band or that they became famous immediately, when in reality it was a long and hard struggle for them. But it does make it even better when people actually start to listen to them and realize that they’re much more than they expected. I’ll never get over how amazed people are after doing a little more research 😂
Do you know what I love the more in BTS discography? It's almost impossible just listen to it and go on. Most of their songs (group or solos) have a deep message. Suga / Agust D is the sharper and rawer. He doesn't mince his words... and I love this because I admire his wisdom!
If you like this kind of rap, I suggest you listen to the whole album, imo, it's a masterpiece!
Thank you so much for appreciating his rap!! Thank you :)
People in the chat have probably already told you but Set Me Free Pt. 2 was by Jimin, you haven't seen Jin yet but you can! He released a song named "Astronaut" before joining the military, the song was a gift to him by Coldplay! He also has the iconic song among ARMY named "Epiphany" which is a wholesome song.😭💜
Amygdala and Snooze is so beautiful too. Suga´s album often go from hard hitting songs to slower melodic rap songs and he sings too.
I'm so glad you reacted to this and your reaction didn't disappoint. I always enjoy your in depth dissection of tracks so please, please don't ever stop them.
Everything in this MV has deeper meaning. Even the chopsticks are a commentary on feudalism and the idea that the thing that sets you free/lets you find success will eventually become the thing you need to survive. As in, he uses the chopsticks as a weapon to pull off his heist but then later, has to use those same chopsticks to feed himself.
All of Agust D/Suga's tracks have deeper meanings. He's an amazing producer and lyricist, and I highly recommend you check out more of his work. The tracks on D-Day are all incredible - Snooze is particularly impactful in a very different way from Haegeum and is easily my personal favorite, but as a huge fan of Woosung (the vocalist featured on the track), I'm a bit biased there.
Edit - fixed some grammar
The title of the song is a wordplay:
Haegeum (해금) in Korean is a traditional string instrument, the one that was used in the song. But if you look at the meaning of the Chinese characters (解禁) which literal is spelled "haegeum" it means "lifting a ban". Which is consistent with the lyrics, is freedom the end of prohibition? Is my freedom at the same level of your freedom?
This MV is the second part of a trilogy of music videos, 1st one is "Daechwita", then "Haegeum", the next will be AMYGDALA which will be premiered next week on the 25th.
Your perception of BTS is way off. They have been writing lyrics with this level of depth since their debut album. The topics have changed of course as they grew older and gained more recognition. Since the start they stirred controversy with their school trilogy (2013 - 2014) when their lyrics were mostly about the educational system of South Korean taking a toll in to their nation youth's mental health and the pursue of dreams. Also this is what we would expect of Agust D, his songs are always hard hitting like this.
I recommend to check Agust D songs "What do you think?" and "Strange" ft RM.
When you made the 'Joker' connection I was literally on the edge of my seat excitedly waiting for you to see that cop car scene at the end😆👏👏👏
You were on point!!!
Love your interpretations of these solo songs, so insightful!!
Just so you know (if you didn't already) ChangBin is a huge fan of the BTS rappers, and probably of all of BTS too☺️🫶
Also, BangChan is a massive ARMY💜💜💜
I love how in tune you were with the song even before listening to it.
You talked about BTS (and idols in general) having a God-like image and not this devilish one and I was like "that's exactly what the song is about 😅".
You got the whole Joker vibe two minutes in.
Also, loved the "Who do you know is dropping philosophy classes in the middle of a rap session?". Well, Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi... Welcome to their world 😂
Love this song and the way you transformed a reaction video into a philosophy group made me love it more. You added more to what he was saying and I had to pause to listen to my own thoughts as well. Great vibe!
I love Yoongi, I love Suga and I love Agust D
I think in their solo era they're showing off their real feelings more, cuz yeah they were victims of the industry that wanted them to act like angels, doing no wrong, but here they are, they're proving that they're just humans with unbelievable talents
I get that idols work hard but they most certainly are not victims by any metric lol, that’s a bit of a disservice to actual victims! These are simply men who had a goal and worked hard until they reached it, then continued to work hard to maintain it. You’re mistaking the downsides of accomplishment for victimhood - Try and look at it as; they were never victims, they were always winners 👑
... and that's why he is one of the best rappers in the world! 💕
Спасибо за реакцию!
У Юнги получился шикарный альбом и особенно этот заглавный трек: Хэгым! Это продолжение Дэчиты. И шрам на лице уже заживший. И снова побеждает своего короля-тирана/босса. Клип с отсылками к фильму "Лицо со шрамом" о Тони Монтана, одноимённую песню которую исполнили Шуга и Чимин.
Элементы Джокера тоже присутствуют, как донесение смысла его слов.
В Дэчите Шуга убивал своего "безумного короля"
В Хэгыме - "босса".
Это отсылка к строчкам из песни Дэчиты : "Я Король, я Босс!"
Как круто он тут сделал, Хэгым - имеет двойное значение: 1) дословно оно обозначает - Освобождение/Снятие запрета и 2) Это традиционный корейский струнный инструмент. Во времена династии Чосон на нем играли на парадах, фестивалях и королевских обрядах предков. Тогда, как Daechwita/Дэчита (буквально переводится как «великий удар и удар») - это жанр традиционной корейской военной музыки, исполняемый с помощью духовых и ударных инструментов в эпоху Чосон. Daechwita исполнялась во время военных маршей.
Так же, он и в Дэчите аналогично высовывался из машины. И изображённый в обоих клипах на одежде дракон. Более глазастые Арми рассмотрели разницу в них: в новом клипе на "добром" дракон с 5 пальцами (ранг короля) и, в таком случае,он показывает, кто здесь настоящий король. В Дэчите на "злодее" дракон с 4 пальцами (ранг наследного принца). И, как и в первом клипе, так и в этом, он с 6 другими участниками, символизирующими БТС, устраивают восстание и все остальные присоединяются к ним, спасают от казни/пыток и дают ему оружие, побеждающее зло.
И новом клипе есть ещё множество знаковых символов, которые поймут лишь немногие.
На вывеске перед Юнги и Ко написано 雪糖面, что буквально означает "лапша из белого сахара". Звучит это как "белый Min Suga".
Цифры в номере телефона на коричневом плакате на улице, тоже символичны: 3102 - если прочесть наоборот, то получится 2013 - год дебюта BTS; 709 - "день рождения АРМИ" - 9 июля; 0309 - день рождения Юнги - 9 марта.
В довершении, по всей видимости, сам Юнги уничтожил все свои альер-эго и остался только он, добившийся успеха парень из Тэгу - Мин Юнги.
Это был 3 и заключительный альбом из трилогии Агуст-Д.
Про стыренный пакетик с мандаринками, пожалуй, ничего комментировать не буду, кто понял, тот понял. Это старая фишка Чимина и Юнги 😋
There is also a nod to his song with Psy in the rhythm of his rapping at the part when he is saying if freedom of expression could end in someone’s death. I thought it was neat because I kept going wait…isn’t that a familiar rhythm, then I remembered.
@@astar21126 да, здесь если сесть и рассматривать всё под лупой, то диссертацию можно написать целую, как обычно с БТС. 😆
This was one of the best explanations I've read so far! ❤️🔥
if i could save a comment i would save this one, its the most detailed explanation i've read yet
The haegeum is a traditional Korean string instrument but in this it also has a meaning of "lifting a ban" within K-pop there are a lot of bans and rules. He is reflecting on the term "freedom" within the industry and life. This was a GREAT reaction Teddy! 🔥The Joker reference was ON POINT!!
I love that you're catching the joker references. In D-2, there's a line in the song People, "why so serious?" and especially that last clip of suga riding in the cop car gave me Joaquin Phoenix - joker vibes.
This is my favorite reaction to Haegeum 😍 and I see a lot
Hello thank you for your love and support for me and my career🎼, I hope that you will not stop supporting me😊💕💕 I am really very pleased that all of you have been around all these years of my career.I appreciate your support and warm comments, I want to say thank you very much I humbly appreciate you, and also have a blessed week God bless you✌️✌️
where are you from…?
💞🎼🪕🫂🌺💐
Idk if it’s been commented, but I love Shadow from Suga!
Talking about the dark side of BTS you should also listen to j-hopes album 'jack in the box' or at least to 'more' and 'arson' from that album. For me, every song from that album is 100x better than his last song with j.cole
You are the first reaction ive seen that picked up the Joker influence so early. Love it
I'm sure you just mis spoke, but it was Jimin in Set Me Free, not Jin
I must say that of all the reactions I’ve seen of Heageum, you are one of a few that took the time to dissect the meaning behind the lyrics and visuals. You’re thoughtful of the concepts and themes that SUGA (and other artists) poured so much of himself into and I respect that. It’s obvious that many reactors don’t really care to delve into the meaning of the work as art, but as content for their channels. I come her to not only be entertained, but also informed. Keep going.
this isnt really anything unusual for yoongi, he has always written these type of deep lyrics for his mixtape and even for bts b side tracks, i mean i dont really know how much you know about bts or how much you have listened to them but i wouldnt say this id anything thar differs from what he has been doing in bts. Loved your reaction btw !
suga always did this type of track, that's why he created this whole separate persona called agust d back in 2016 to vent out everything he wanted to, openly
he curses, calls out people, kills people, smokes, does whatever he wants when he is agust d
he could do it as suga as well, but he chose to separate this angry side of him instead
I think you have a wrong idea about bts, if you don't associate this type of music, songwriting and style with them, cuz this is very much them
I probably do have the wrong idea about BTS because I’m very uneducated on them and their journey! I only got into the Korean music industry last year so I’m still learning! I love the fact he created a new persona to say different things, many of my favourite rappers have done the same in the past so I’m glad he’s carrying on traditions in rap!
I’m a curious person by nature so when it comes to looking into their journey I’ll do my due diligence don’t worry!
@@TeddyGreyOS
if you want to educate yourself about bts, i recommend you watch (maybe as a reaction video?) "a guide to bts, the bangtan seven" by taylor. i think its very informative and will serve as a good place to start.
and since you like rap, and bts have their roots in hip hop i highly recommend you check out these notable songs:
-hip hop phile (the title says it all )
-born singer (if you know j.coles born sinner ^^ )
-cypher pt. 2 (RM delivers here like THE BEST rap verse ever dont in kpop skill wise imo , but you can judge for yourself ofc)
@@TeddyGreyOS I'm so glad you're curious by nature. I am too, it's a great place to be. I fell deep down the BTS rabbit hole once I found them because there's so much more than what might be on the surface. I hadn't really listened to music for years and now they're my daily sound track. Thanks for your interesting reactions. You point out things that I, as a visual artist hadn't even noticed in the audio part of MVs. I'm always about the colour and symbolism of the things that I'm seeing. Cheers
@@TeddyGreyOS Ty so much for being open. BTS love music so much. They always experimenting. They trained really hard and are all Aces. They did hip hop at the start and then transitioned to idols. They mix a lot of genre's together to create their sound. We call it BTS. It is not pop. They sing a lot about mental health, self love, social issues, etc. I really hope u check out more from them. Boy In Luv is one of their hip hop songs. There is an MV. N.O. is another great song on the education system and dreams. ty.
The Joker is one of his favorite characters. Theres a Halloween dance practice where he dresses up as the Joker.
Thanks for checking it out! Will be happy to see you listen more of his work in the future, even off camera. The way you analyze the lyrics so deep is admirable.
On the outside BTS may feel like they should be expected to be very idol-like, but that's changing now. So far in their career, and mostly now in their solos their point is to "haegeum". As their influence is at the highest they realize it's up to them to change the industry and break the heavy restrictions and demands on musicians (SUGA said this song is also for the young generation). This song is produced and written by him only. It's solely his, so it is expressing his thoughts, which gives me comfort - knowing that not only the common person feels like this. I mean his rawness and lack of sugar-coating has always made him one of the most relatable members of the group.
The whole album is a beast. It's actually a trilogy: Agust D, D-2 and D-Day. Listen to them you don't regret. RM also have 3 projects: RM, Mono and Indigo. J-hope has 2 : Hope world and Jack in the box.
I was dying laughing at 5:26! I love when reactors try to understand his lyrics! Definitely one of my favorites!
Great reaction! The instrument itself has 2 strings which I believe is symbolic: one string is Agust D and the other Yoongi/Suga.
Also the printed shirt reminds me of Fight Club for some reason which theme seems to be present in the trilogy: fight club meets Joke (HL’s)
"Freedom of expression could be someone's death. Would you still call that freedom?" Also refers to the fact that Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, school violence is extremely common, and 4 kpop idols have committed suicide in the last 6 years due, in no small part, to cyber bullying.
Thanks for a great reaction. I really like it when reactors take a deep dive. There's so much to unpack with this song. Loads in the audio and then more in the visuals. Brilliant Agust D.

Bruh u gotta listen to his album D-DAY!! The songs are soooo catchy, and ofc the lyrics are Just INSANE
Their songs as BTS is diverse, but reflects the group/ company's goals.
Their songs as solo reflects each as individual and their own toughts.
Which is the best of both worlds. Besides loving and respecting each other as bandmates/ family, this might explain why they surely will stay together for many years to come.
Earlier BTS goes harder in the hiphop music. When they matured and became more famous, they've branched out genre wise. It also paid a lot of homage to their influences. Hiphop Lover, Born Singer, Chicken Noodle Soup, etc.
ye well welcome to BTS Teddy hehe this is what we're used to get from them lol 😂 so you've only scratched the surface tbh
there is a saying :
J-Hope visualizes the world
RM analyzes the world
Suga criticizes the world
and you can clearly see and hear it in their styles so a lil info u can note for the future ❤
Putting chopsticks down means die, and in the end August D picks up the chopstics.
Also I think the police officer is like the crazy king in Daechwita representing corruption. And the rebelled/here a bit crazy alter ego is killing the corruption/lie.
You need to listen to the whole album. Indigo and Jack in the box as well you won't regret.
BTS has always been rebellious. If you dig into the lyrics, you will find they talk a lot about political issues, societal expectations, mental illnesses and stresses, and while giving hope. Yoongi here is such a philosopher. In fact, I printed a bunch of inspiring Yoongi quotes and hid them all over my house. They are stuck to mirrors, door frames, the stair railing, inside the pantry, etc. He is wise beyond his years.
You will find all members of BTS are much more humble and deep than most other artists. I’d love you to deep dive on them.
I have been writing down inspiring BTS lyrics on a journal, but your idea of “hiding” them throughout the house is brilliant!! Thanks! 💜
I love love how you can interpret the lyrics so well. It's too bad you are not givnig BTS as a group a chance. Because you would be, able to interpret BTS song lyrics as well too. BTS as a group has the most meaningful song lyrics in kpop. This is why they are the biggest group of artists on this planet. But it is what it is, hopefully one day you will give BTS a chance.
I believe that art is subjective, however too much of Army seems hellbent on there being “one answer” for every bar. I like to interpret lyrics in my own way and the few times I’ve touched BTS content I haven’t been able to do so without being told I’m not reacting correctly because I’m not seeing the meanings they want me to see. Perhaps one day if I find BTS organically I’ll start to upload, but at the moment when weighing up the pros and cons it seems to weigh too heavy on the latter.
I’m happy doing their solo work however because so far besides “Joke” (which I only don’t like because it doesn’t make sense, even though I know that nonsense was it’s purpose lol), I haven’t heard a single verse I didn’t enjoy from the rap line!
@@TeddyGreyOS ok brother I understand you. I'm glad your such a positive reactor.
@@TeddyGreyOS I kind of figured this was the reason you haven’t reacted to them in a while. I totally understand though, it’s your channel so you do you. But I would definitely encourage you to check out BTS offline because they really do have some amazing lyrics that I think you’d enjoy analyzing.
Written, performed and produced by Agust D. He just released a documentary that follows him through the whole production process of his album. Called SUGA: Road to D-Day. Also, I couldn't believe when you mentioned the joker reference earlier in the video. I couldn't wait for you to see towards the end.
There is so many references in this video to his previous song Daechwita. The Dancing after he gets back to his place with the money, the scar on the face, the surprise double-cross ending, etc... This song is a great continuation from the previous song Daechwita. Love it! He has one more song coming that is supposed to be a continuation from this one. All three song need will need to be watched in order to get the full experience of the trilogy. Can't wait for the next one. Love the reactions, I always learn something when you break down the songs!!
Hiya! A haegeum is a traditional string instrument, but in this context it means the lifting of ban 💜
It's about time you react to some of their main songs as a group :
1. Mic Drop Feat Steve Aoki
2. Not Today
3. Fire
4. Blood Sweat and Tears
5. Fake Love
BTS has the most socially conscious lyrics in Kpop. Hope you check out more of their discography.
Agust hanging out of the car is a yet another reference to his previous track where he plays the same to characters in his track Daechwita. As are the fact you have 2 Agust D's and the one with the power has the Scar. In Daechwita it's the mad king. In Haegeum it's the Police officer.

Haegeum: the English lyrics & the meaning.
Haegeum is a song about unlocking our new potentials, freeing something previously forbidden. The word “Haegeum” has a double meaning. On one side, it’s a traditional Korean string instrument that has a very peculiar sound, but this is not the authentic meaning Agust D/Suga intended originally.
Haegeum” means “allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden.” Here is how he explained it 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?
This is explicitly confirmed by the English translation of the lyrics in Haegeum:
This song’s simply about freeing what’s forbidden but you must remember to differentiate freedom from self-indulgence
This song’s a haegeum
Get on board now
This lively rhythm
A new kind of haegeum
Written by, produced by Agust D- made that beat using traditional korean music including a stringed instrument called a Haegeum but Haegeum also means to lift a ban or something prohibited.

Amazing analysis and reaction, wasn't expecting anything less... letsgooooo Teddy!!! Thank you
"Haegeum" has a double meaning in this song. It is a traditional Korean instrument held on the knee and played like a stand up bass with a bow and two silk strings. It is used in this song. It also means liberation or freedom and is very relevant to this song.
This song is tied to "Daechwita" and "Amygdala".
You need to research the actual meaning of Daechwita first.
Agust D is a moniker to separate from Suga of BTS.
The album songs in order explain a lot also.
This video is the second in a trilogy. Suga said to watch Daechwita first, then Haegeum, and then the third video, Amygdala, which is being released this week. My personal take is that the guy in the black suit (from this video) is the guy who killed the crazy king in the Daechwita video. When Agust D went into the restaurant in the last scene, he was carrying that guy's black coat, perhaps as a trophy.
Suga and "philosophical rap" go hand in hand every time!! Nothing surprising there and Haegeum is a sequel and modern version to August D's "Daechwita" FYI.
Love your commentary and insights on this. Very insightful & thought provoking
The first person I've watched that Actually values the lyrics😖🤌🏻
The whole album is deep asf! I recommend you listen to all the songs!!
The meaning of "haegum" is actually spelled out twice in the lyrics, in the first verse. "Liberation from all that’s forbidden" and "This song’s simply about freeing what’s forbidden".
My favorite song is Snooze from his new album.
Layers upon layers of meaning both in the song and the video. Love it. So many references to Daechwita in this. New MV for Amygdala drops on the 24th (or 25th?) and he's said that we should watch all 3 in order, Daechwita, Haegeum, Amygdala. I'm stoked.
Not Army. I know the BTS songs everyone knows. This is insane indeed. I love it! I am going to look a little more into the Agust D thing. I loved rap as a teen and then went away from it for a while and now I am remembering, with kpop, that I actually do really love it.
Always love to hear Teddy's insights into both the music and the lyrics. This might be my favorite Teddy analysis ever. ❤
The album that this song is from is really good! It’s called D-day, you should definitely check it out. It’s part of a trilogy - first mixtape is called “Agust D”, second mixtape is called “D2” and then “D-day” is supposed to be the end of the trilogy.
Also, the other two rappers from BTS have really interesting solo projects too! J-hope dropped “Jack in the Box” over the summer and RM dropped “Indigo” in December.
@@ukelelep8233 cool, thanks!! I will check those out too!
You are one of the few reactors who got his message the first time around. Yes Min Yoongi aka Suga aka Agust doesn't just rap, he makes you think.
This is the reaction I was waiting for!!!! Always love your perspective and interpretation on the lyrics and the video/message of the video. But especially the lyrics in rap songs.
This song has no business being this deep and profound while sounding like that 😂 it honestly makes me love the song 10 times more! The whole album is a vibe tbh, as expected from Agust D!
This mv is a continuation of the song Daewchita mv which u have reacted once
Thank you for giving me new perspectives to think about 🥰
I really appreaciate this deep dig into the lyrics and the meaning of the song. Truly enjoyed this reaction and also gained something new from it to myself as well. Thank you!
Came to this channel for NF and staying for everything because I love the way you dive into songs and swim through the lyrics and images. I would love for you to do the BTS journey. They've grown so much and come so far.
This song is incredible. But so is his entire discography.
Great reaction, to the mv, the music and the lirics... And yes my favorite type of rap, of music, of art... The one that makes you think
Suga's beats/songwriting are GENIUS.
I think you'd really like "amygdala" and "polar night" night as well from the new album. Amygdala lets you know more about Agust D as a person, while polar night reflects on some of todays societal issues. Both great songs with great lyrics 😊 Amygdala is gonna have a MV too and suga recomended watching Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala back to back as they relate to one another.
And of course your reactions are the only ones I care to watch! The way you love and appreciate music is inspirational. Can't wait for more because there is SO MUCH more kpop you will enjoy!

Love your reaction, you're great. Love you take time with the lyrics.
Suga's songs are always deep with a genius lyrics
The Haegeum is an old 2 stringed Korean instrument from around 900 A.D. it also means "Freeing what's forbidden." which is also what Suga is trying to convey.
You get it. This is the best reaction. Hope you can see him on tour 🤘
ofc I have to rewatch this reaction!
To everybody who woders what a Haegeum is, itˋs an instrument. Itˋs stringed and works kind of similar as a violin. Also looks a little like two chopsticks with a wooden box at the bottom.

👍 you analyzed it so well! Thanks for the reaction 💜❤
actually you’re my favourite reactor out there just for the fact that u take time to analyse the lyrics and everything.
i’m so used to you that when i watch video from other reactors i’m like “what is this” because most of them are so superficial. so keep going like this teddy 🫶🏻🫶🏻
(btw sorry english is not my first language)
There a documentary of his journey to his album on youtube. Suga journey, or road to d-day. There's explanation there
