Suga wrote, produced and came up with the whole idea for this video. He even spent a couple of days with a sword dance instructor to do his part properly. This song has a lot of historical and cultural Korean references, so the set is very Korean. You would have to watch a separate explanation video to catch all that he is saying. Daewchita is type of military music played before the king. So, he is literally saying: "Play this music before me, the king". 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜 P.S. you are spot on about killing his older, angry and greedy self. If you look at the first mixtape MVs: August D and Give it To Me, Suga in them is blond. The crazy blond kind is not accidental here.
Education Light coming up: BTS are super-proud of their heritage and culture, so from now on, it's 99.99% safe to just assume that everything you see that your mind reads as East Asian is KOREAN.
Korean swords, Korean buildings, Korean foods, Korean clothes, Korean instruments, Korean dances, etc, etc.
Eventually, you'll find yourself wondering how the heck you picked up a bunch of Korean vocabulary like "hanbok", but that's just a freebie that BTS and ARMY supply you with on your way through their discography!
P.S. You're awesome for asking!
yes. korean in general are very patrioting. not like american but in a different way.
One of the few reactors that actually get the deeper meaning behind this song instead of just thinking it's a flex. He's acknowledging that he's famous but he needs a reality check to stay grounded and humble. You are spot on! This storyline should continue in his album that will be released soon, he did say that he hasn't decided if the king actually died.
I was so excited when he started talking about that aspect of the song. Enjoying these reactions
5:46 daechwita is historical military music, often played marching when going to war or to honor the king, one of the roles suga is playing here is the mad king, he even sampled it in this song
I watched the changing of the guards at some palace with my daughter in Seoul, we were thrilled to recognize the Daechwita music!
9:39 bang pd is pretty much the person who brought bts together, executive producer, founder of their label etc
One of my favorite facts about this mv is that Yoongi had to take shots of whiskey in the washroom before going out to act as Mad King Agust 😂 also that Jhope rolled up to set with a coffee truck with Yoongi's face plastered all over it.
i was surprised i found a genuine channel, i love listening to you talk and speak real shit and your interpreted of the mv makes sense too, i gotta sub. thank you for the reaction to agust d, hope you also listen to his first mixtape
Ty for that. Since his Offical album hasn’t dropped. I will finish this one and the one prior so each of the rap line get at least two projects a piece before we get to the full group of BTS together.
1. All the elements from the MV is from the Korean traditional culture.
2. "Rice chest" has cultural meaning in the historical contexts. My short English cannot explain it fully, however, one King(Yeong-jo) from the Joseon dynasty made his son(prince) put in the empty, locked-up rice chest without food and let him die inside the rice chest.
3. Yes, you cannot expect them only one genres, as a solo and as a team. Their genres are soooo versatile. If you check their "On(Kinetic manifesto film)" "Mic drop" and "Black swan", you cannot imagine they are the same team : ) They are not just enjoying their fame, they still work sooo hard from the beginning when all the 7 members had to share only one small bedroom. Can't wait your reaction for Taylor's guide!!!
Thank you for giving chance to BTS and your thoughtful analysis! They are nothing but positive and inspiring energy. I don't understand why there are still so many haters who, even, have never listend their music carefully at once.
Up!
I loved your reaction. I love your thoughtfulness when it comes to asking questions about what you don’t know. As a teacher, it’s refreshing to hear. I’m sure someone already commented that you MUST watch the explanation video for this MV/song by DKDKTV. As a foreigner, it’s impossible to know all of the historical references (like the rice chest) in this video. But not knowing takes away the coolness of the song itself. You are dead on when it comes to the king at the end. One thing that even DKDKTV doesn’t mention is that the gun is a Colt Army - another shout out to the fandom. I know so much about Korea now bc of BTS’ MVs and lyrics. I’m so glad that I found them.
Explained video is already done. Here you go. American Rapper First Time Hearing - AGUST D - DAECHWITA '대취타' Explained By A Korean [Reaction]
th-cam.com/video/JO_elI_nZLk/w-d-xo.html
4:24 these are korean historical buildings, not original but built to look like they are, a popular tourist location, also often used for tv show sets or music video sets like in suga's case
Yes the buildings, clothing, style, and aesthetics are traditional Korean. There is a lot of thematic overlap with Chinese and Japanese elements, just like how classical architecture looks similar all over in Europe, at first glance.
“Daechwita” is a type of marching band folk music that is played to announce the King’s arrival. You can hear it played in the background of the track; Suga /Agust D sampled a live performance from the Korean Traditional Performance Arts Org.
Daechwita is traditional Korean military music often played for the entrance of the king to make his presence known.
Daechwita was filmed at Dae Jang Geum Park- a historically-themed location built to showcase how South Korea used to live in the past. There are many similar looking historical Korean structures.
Here's a link to dkdktv's explanation th-cam.com/video/JayEtmyXVpo/w-d-xo.html.
There are cameos from other BTS members in this video- Jin and Jk are shown fighting in the background. Your last video, More, also has a member cameo - V is sitting in the office. It’s nice how the members support each other’s solo projects
It’s paramount to keeping great bonds in a group. Respect to them for doing so.
I'm really enjoying your journey. Knowing that you've only seen the very tip of the iceberg that is BTS is giving me so much joy. Thank you for your in-depth and thoughtful reviews of their artistry. I look forward to more!
Thank you so much!!
Yeah! Finally. I see some comments mentioning it, but the part with the cadence change is not a flex, but a realization that he wants just what he earns but staying on the ground (similar to RMs Wildflower... he's rooted, he has both feet on the ground).
Back... 5-6 years ago, they had a get together and had to write poems for the group. Suga wrote something in the line "thank god we fly together, if not this would be even scarier". He has had social anxiety, a couple of concerts had to be canceled bc he couldn't go on stage (same for RM with 1 concert) way back. They want to share their passion for music. Sure they want to earn money from that. They never expected what they got. (again the reference in Wildflower is clear: I saw the end, I even expected it)
He revisits this in his solo track Shadow (as BTS) (the MV is not the full track)
Didn’t know they canceled a show bc of deep anxiety. That had to be heart wrenching. 😓
Okay, so I'm not a korean myself but this building and the whole set he's filming at is korean (not going to comment further, as I'm not a specialist on that matter). Suga (Agust D here lol) dressed like a king (a korean king) in this video. Daechwita - is a special type of music, people played it out loud to announce that the king is coming (you can learn more with Google on that)
Also Bang PD (aka hitman bang) is a man who created the label (bighit ent., later bighit music under hybe) more than ten years ago, where BTS come from. BTS literally is the main reason why this company is doing so well now. They often speak about their gratitude towards Bang PD, because he was the one who made them a group, who believed in them since the beginning. Now they treat this man as a big bro 😅
Yeah, he WAS having fun doing this, even learned how to swing sword to film this MV lmao
(Sorry english is not my first lang, so there's only the basics)))
Daechwita is kind of like military marching music in South Korea. It means "great blowing and hitting" (referencing the types of instruments used to play it) and was also used to announce the approach of the King.
I believe you were spot on with your interpretation of why the peasant Agust D shoots the King Agust D.
You are so good in your interpretations, even lacking the Korean cultural context. Your understanding of rap lyrics is on another level! I followed almost every one of your BTS members reactions, I am very impressed by you! Best of luck with your own carrier
We definitely appreciate how you put thought into the music and videos, not many spend time to analyze the messages! Suga is full of heart and passion and it shows through in his projects, he fiercely loves music. I think the song really shows that off. Another fun fact is that he’s actually rumored to be descended from a royal clan (his last name being Min), I’m not sure if that is confirmed 100% though.
I’m not seeing anyone mention in the comments that the space Yoongi filmed is Yongin Daejanggeum Park near Seoul.
It’s actually a permanent filming set for K-period dramas, so yes based on real Korean architecture but not historic buildings.
I guess it’s sort of used as a theme park tourist spot too not sure. Wiki lists a ton of tv series and mvs filmed there.
13:35 honestly you are pretty correct, the main theory is that the mad king version of suga is the older (and in age younger), greedier version of suga, the one from his first mixtape agust d and the peasant version of suga is he himself now, or at the time in 2020
This is performed at a palace in Korea. They are very very proud of their culture. There is a video that explains this. Digita (how it sounds to me) was the music played in historical days when the King was arriving, that’s the basics I’m sure someone here will correct me if I am wrong. They would not highlight Chinese or other Asian culture but always their own. Korean culture is their love. They are actually “ambassadors” of Korean culture.
3:05 the two people suga bumped into and who fight in the background are bts members jin and jungkook making a cameo, actually another member v made a cameo in j-hope's mv for more too but i forgot to mention it, it was harder to notice v though since he was in the background, even we were not 100% sure it was him until the behind the scenes video
We saw the slides and the hair and had a solid idea 😂
Your trading time for labour talk reminds me of when Suga said (paraphrased) something along the lines of young ppl have the right to be angry when the return of labor are diminishing nowadays
The irony of writing this comment with nagging Sunday night anxiety
I think very few artist’s journey (with their level of phenom) has been as well documented as BTS’s, I think you’ll really enjoy seeing their growth and evolution. It’s fascinating to watch their ideas and philosophies evolve and reflect also in their music.
I like seeing everyone’s interpretations on the ending lol
He’s right though. Labor returns in the past got you a nuclear family with a detached house and two cars. Now you can barely get to your next check.
I would suggest looking at the doolset lyrics before watching the video for context… also there is an “explained by a Korean” for this song by dkdktv
I cant look at them prior as it will inform my thinking and change my reactions. Only can be used as a companion text during.
I did pull up the video you did suggest though.
Yes this his a historical place in korea. There is an explanation video by dkdktv that will help explain the cultural references in the video.
suga killing off his "higher self" is spot on. in fact that's what suga himself said in the behind the scenes of the making of this MV.
Yongin Daejanggeum Park is the largest historical drama set in Korea, filled with a plethora of historically inspired facilities from the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, and Joseon periods (Korean History). It is also the place where Suga (August D) shot the music video for Daechwita. Suga aka Agust D is also wearing a traditional Korean Hanbok in the video, and he learned the sword dance, and picked out a sword from the Joseon Dynasty and it was made for him. He even used an original Daechwita sample for his music, so he fused original Daechwita music with modern beats to make this song.
Daechwita is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching or as a static performance. It was commonly played when the King was arriving, or when ARMY was marching. Suga intended to imply ARMY marching with him as the true King in the Music Video.
Suga said that his 2020 self shot his 2016 self, and he uses his mixtapes like a journal, and he is changed now. You could check out his shooting sketch, he does talk about it, if you want. I personally don't like the DKDKTV Explanation, I think many of the theories are wrong, and I personally think it's better to listen to the artist first before an explanation. Anyway, the only reason I brought it up is that people always recommend that explanation. You actually got the concept. Good song review. Thanks
I agree with you about the Explanation video, but I still think is a good watch just for the Korean historical / cultural explanations
This channel is so underrated. Stay well, I love your reactions and the way you express your thoughts. 💜
Thank you so much!!
Spitting is big in Scotland too. 🤣😘💜
You nailed the idea of him taking out his higher self.
Daechwita is processional music played to announce the arrival of the king or his military. The MV was filmed at Dae Jang Geum Park in South Korea.
Korea is physically positioned in between Japan and China; if you check out the map you’ll see it’s like a large peninsula that juts out from the mainland towards Japan and as such is like a “bridge” to mainland China. This has caused the Korean Peninsula to be the unfortunate middleman in wars between the two big regional powers; for example the country is literally split in half, with NK associated with communist China and SK aligned with western capitalism. So no surprise their architecture and historical iconography is reminiscent of the Asian visual tropes we see here in the USA.
Gems. Bless.
Funny you mentioned It G Ma haha!! It meant “Never Forget” in Keith ape’s track. In this, I guess it works better to be translated to “remember” for these lyrics. 😊
in addition to writing suga also produced this song
Yes Korea has also this kind of buildings. Korea is next to Japan, having big wars (invasions) along history.
4:21 Its understandable and yes there are architectural buildings like that in both North and South Korea (the structural aspects can be very similar to china and japan but they’re very different) … That is a real place he filmed at which I don’t remember the name but if im not mistaken from I what know, It is probably one of the oldest active villages and palace on the outskirts of South Korea.
yup, the building in the back is a Korean style palace. The roof is shaped a bit differently and they are decorated very differently. The main way I can tell Korean architecture apart is you will often see these small gargoyle-like statues along the corner spines of the buildings.
There are a ton of really specific cultural references in this song. If you want to learn more check out DKDK TV's series "Explained by a Korean." They're youtubers who do a lot of things, but that series break downs Korean cultural references in Kpop lyrics and videos
There are many elements of Korean architecture and culture that resembles those of Japan. The two countries share many cultural aspects and are much more closely aligned biologically than Korea and China. But architecturally-speaking, if you visited other Asian countries like Cambodia or Viet Nam or Thailand, you would also find pagoda style buildings.
appreciate your detailed reactions and critic, thankss!!
💜💜💜
My pleasure!!
I just found your channel and am binging when I can. I love the way you explain music and I greatly appreciate how you react with curiosity, consideration and respect. Thank you
Welcome aboard! We have so many videos to get through
Time stamp and cultural notes time!
Also some private information of our Blond Emperor here !
[1:16] Emperor (that owns my heart) starts the MV on a exact copy of his real life grandgrand-(some 4-5 grands there) -grandmother's throne. That is situated in an exact copy of an real royal palace (one of the royal palaces) of The Last Empress ( Min YoonGi's grand...grandmother {that is his real name, last name first, given names second}). (No Min Yoongi would not be near the throne if South Korea for some reason decided to revert back to monarchy, the clan to go to the throne would be Lee.)
(BTS of course have performed at the REAL original palace that this is a copy of, also.. An honor not often granted.)
Where this was filmed is an huge place where they film most of Korean dramas either movies or TV-series.
So real life Agust D/ Suga is a born royal by his blood - levels of both irony and sarcasm in this MV are off the charts! 💜
[2:55] you stopping t the important pint where another young royal blooded from BTS gets hit by by their Main Vocal 💜
Eldest in BTS is from older royal clan than Agust D. And when they joined in BTS the eldest Jin and second youngest Tae (stagename "V") found out they were part of the same Kim clan - these clans are HUGE ( Suga's clan: "The 2015 Korean Census counted 167,124 members of the Yeoheung Min clan.") - so it is not wonder they did not know each other at all. The Kim clan that Jin and Tae belong to, is totally different Kim clan that RM belongs to.
[3:22] Cultural note it is incredibly insulting to step on your dirty shoes on your royal official, even if you are the mad despot - that is the blonde ones role here - as the opposite of the black haired (time travelling?) poor (rapper).
[4:99] Architecture - China was a huge cultural influence of all of it's neighbors for hundreds of years : it influenced also their architecture. This MV mainly seems to be telling a story about (late?) Joseon era (1392-1897). Like Suga's last name - that we already have talked : Min-clan started from a Chinese diplomat that was staying in Korea - before him there was no Min as a last name in Korea. It still is the only one. All Korean Min's are from this one clan. - Unlike we already learned there is several Kim clans even among BTS's 7 members.
[5:37] Everybody and their cutest white dog named Rapmon - are telling you about the music style that Daeswita is, in short it is a march music when the king in out and about, like out in a parade for his honor, or For Example going out for Warpath.. ;D (You could find it in your own, and listen little bit of the real original thing, to understand what Agust D did to it.)
(also you should see the videos, about filming this MV and the other where he himself tells what the D-2 songa are about and how it came to be - note the times when he tells he worked in the album - that is on top of his normal BTS work day, after all of the other people are sleeping..
[5:55] Time travelling (?) also this car ties the video possibly to That That (Prod SUGA) by PSY. 💜
Also the car is apparently the "tommygun" equivalent of 80's-90's South Korean mafiosos - Everybody and their Holly (correct way to write Suga's male dog's name is Holy, but we go with the pronounciation 💜) knows in South Korea what that car symbolizes.
[9:36] The scroll and lyrics about Bang-PD : The picture in the scoll is their original company Big Hit's (HYBE is still his company And Big Hit is one branch of it) CEO, then man they all concider their older brother, and their important family. The caricature was drawn their youngest - in a kinda game on Pictionary - and everyone instantly know who it was supposed to be! :D 💜
(One of Suga's oldest dreams is to be called "Min-PD" - PD as a short for producer. - You already know, watching the documents that he wanted to be hired as a producer for Big Hit originally.) 💜
The Ending and thoughts on it..
I think you are quite close to the truth with your thoughts on it. 💜
Well, he practically ran away from home at 16 (possibly his father - notoriously strict man - even disinherited him(?) - you know he has a royal blood to carry, he has to be a proper young man, rapping, dreaming of TATTOOS! and if worst came to be true : not (originally looking like he was no going to) finishing his school..!) (this act of disinheritance is not small thing in Asian cultures - AND here (!) it actually might mean his name was stricken from the clan book (!).
( Today and now for years already Suga's real family relations are very good and all of his BTS-brothers seem to love his father.💜)
There is a line in his D-1 mixtape that I think is about this Ending also : “Min Yoongi is dead already (I killed him)” I _personally_ think this line is NOT about self harm, i think it is about different sides of him. He left his royal blooded self, who was going to work in the office, and have at least one obligated son or hopefully two "heir and spare".. (BTW Min Yoongi in real life has an older brother and no other siblings.) And he became Gloss the underground rapper -> who later grew into Suga and Agust D. (You can still find some of RM's and Suga's OLD underground songs in the net, if you want to see their full growth ;D)
Also the lyrics about born in a ditch but climbing to the top would suggest.
Personally I think this song is about "you effers I was born with a literal royal blood - but I'm the Emperor (king of kings) of rap scene Because of hard work that I have literally bled for every darn step of the way, and if I was not done the work, I would been just a hollow fake - like Some ARE, who still dare claim themselves to be the kings and princes of the rap." 💜
But there IS another song about him worrying about his inner monsters, mainly the greed - which the king also could symbolize.. But he already made the song about it, no need to do it several times..
The levels are very high.
The things you pick up on early in the video are so funny. 😂 I like your thoughts toward the end though.
I try😂😂
damnn why i found this reaction video 1 year later.. i enjoy your reaction!!
It all happens when it needs to. Happy to have you here now with us
I'm really happy that you understand the concepts so well💜💜Thank you and take care!!
You can think of DaeChita as Fanfare with drums. It literally means that. Written in Chinese, Dae means, Big ,Large.. great... Chi, is the for instruments that you blow into... wind instrument, brass, horn... etc. and Ta is for hitting. For example, in Korea, baseball player that is batting is called Taja. Taja is also, oddly enough... now that i'm thinking about it, is what a typist is call (however if you write in Chinese, "ja" is different, so it is homograph (it gives different meaning). I said all this so I can say the influence of Chinese in Korea and Japan are extensive. The noble used Chinese as the Written language in Korea until the King Sejong. Even today, when there's Homograph used in writing, they will specify the meaning using the Chinese. I read someone's comment about Suga's family name 'Min" and how everyone with that last name in Korea are related and due to the they are all come from same lineage. And the palace shown was one of his greatx5 grandmothers. I wanted to also mention that King Sejong... yes the King Sejong, one that created Korean( Hangul) King Sejon's Mother is Min lineage (Wong Gyenog Wang Hu - 원경왕후 민씨) Queen Wongyeong.
When Korean words are spelled in English there are a lot of silent vowels and consonants. Often K, W, E, are not sounded out. Yes, it’s Korean Josan era building.
A Korea was colonized by japan i think the have cultural influenser and such, just like Europe has similar architecture in different countries
Yes they are Korean and part of the heritage.
Yes, Jurnalist. BTS is very humble, down-to-earth artists. That is probably the main reason why I love them so much. It is not the only reason. They really weren't expecting to blow up globally they way they did. I believe the background is green screen but the palace is real and located in South Korea. I always enjoy your breakdowns of the music and the video. Thank you!💜💜
The gun he uses is a
~ Colt m1860 Army ~
So he is using ARMY to back him up and keep himself grounded.
Also the 7 people rolling with down to earth him in his crew in the video are 6 guys (his BTS brothers) and one woman who represents ARMY.
What you’re seeing is actual Korean architecture, it’s actually Korean culture and clothing. It is very similar to Chinese architecture because Korea branched off from China a very long time ago.
The way I reacted when you hit the “killing of his higher self” bit. I’ve seen a lot of reaction videos to this song and you’ve got to be the first one that got it. Appreciate your reaction and thoughts. Currently going through your entire BTS journey playlist and liking all of them! So much braining!
Great critical analysis, as usual. From what I've read and from interviews I've seen with Suga, your interpretation is right on target. Since I'm not Korean, I would just be telling you stuff that you can Google about the meaning of Daewchita and the architecture (it is Korean and it is distinctly different from Chinese and Japanese architecture, but maybe not to the untrained Western eye). I'll leave the explanations to the experts. But, thank you for another great reaction. I love how you appreciate the artistry and musicality of the members.
Thank you for appreciating #Daechwita #AGUSTD2
AGUST D - D-2 is Min Yoongi’s Second Mixtape created and gifted to us, his ARMY. “Daechwita” is the only mv from D-2. Please watch/react to a “Daechwita” Explained, the behind/making of Daechwita, and Yoongi’s swordplay practice.
D-2 was not publicly promoted and has since gone to create or break several records worldwide.
Fun Fact: The revolver Yoongi used in " DAECHWITA " is the Colt Army Model 1860 " He always includes us, we are his Weapon!😉
ps: AGUSt D is Suga backwards and the initials of Daegu Town where he’s from.
Love this song and MV. So many cultural references in the cinematography but also the lyrics. The pistol at the end is an ARMY model 😎 They think of every little detail. There are several 'behind the scenes' type of videos. 1 with him learning the sword dance, 1 with an interview where he basically talks about the song and MV, 1 with the making of it where 2 of the members dressed in period wardrobe to be in the market scene and j-hope showed up with a coffee truck. There are a few different explained videos to that talk about the history (I think I'll go look to see if you have reacted to any of them but maybe you haven't yet - that's ok tho' i know there is so much content LOL). Anyway, enjoying hearing your thoughts and perspectives. Later!
I like the way you react you see it in better view and i hope you could see more. God bless you and keep safe.
Ty and yes more coming for sure
Double entendre "spit in your face" = spitting lyrics in his face
This is an [Asian] thing. This is actually a famous Korean heritage site. (Dae Jang Geum Park) Yoongi is showcasing the hypocrisy that is the music industry. Hhim e is VERY vocal on mental health, social anxiety and the double standard that IS American Music/Korean Music. He acknowledges what he has and what it has cost. This is both flexing and him saying it's [fame] is not what you THINK it is. This is HIS struggle. The old him VS the new him. New him is his choice
Great interpretation at the end. The lyrics as well as the video contain some references that a non Korean or non ARMY wouldn't get. Some of your questions are answered in the doolset translation. Honestly, I wouldn't mind a longer video if you wanted to read through the doolset translations after each song reaction. Like others said before, I also recommend watching the explained video by dkdktv.
Oooh! I'm a few minutes late to see the live premiere of this reaction, but I'm so glad I checked youtube before going to sleep!
* breaking out the leftover Christmas chocolates instead of popcorn *
Hope you enjoyed it! Chocolate over popcorn any day but caramel popcorn is so good.
@@Jurnalist_ Chocs over popcorn, chocs over Crocs! :D
Not a lot of caramel popcorn available in Sweden, so I'll give that win to America ;)
I enjoyed it so much, and I'm this late commenting just because I spent fricking 30 minutes going trawling the internet and pestering my ARMY friends for the source of ONE recent RM quote just for you, haha!
Still couldn't find it, but anyway, he said he's been questioning the ethics of using humans for labor in this day and age, and I can't wait to see where that takes him lyrically in the future.
You have some anti-capitalism RM and Agust D coming up on D-2, which I suspect you'll enjoy together with me, your personal, horrible "Socialist Swede".
I’m glad I came across your reaction/page. I like your reactions, you actually share your thoughts and ask your questions about the music, video, cultural backgrounds, etc. Your sincere interest shows by how you can understand or can picture what is going on in the video, what message it’s trying to convey. Love these type reactions.
i think it is always good to check doolset before or after the song
Given what Yoongi said on his livestream about the mixtape, I think your interpretation of what the two characters mean is spot on
Everytime you asked for the meaning of the lyrics I just kept thinking about you having the doolset page open, all of your answers were right there...
That's one of the troubles with listening to music in a foreign language, but once you understand what they are actually saying it's so mind opening.
My advice is to not ignore Doolsetbangtan, they are more accurate than most with the translations, and even though the interpretation is also based on one person's thoughts, they give you a lot of meaning behind the cultural references and wordplays.
Goodluck with your TH-cam career and your music.
Ty I’ve put out a lot of music this month.
Nice thoughtful analysis. I think of it as Yoongi growing beyond his earlier self.
Yes, you got the meaning at the end of the video.
You gotta check out the swoozoo concert one to this song it has all the members singing sugas parts it goes so hard.
This place is historical reconstruction of Korean buildings, used as tourist park and for shooting historical movies. This MV was filmed during the pandemic, so it seems like Yoongi saw the opportunity while it's not as booked as always. He said that cost of this MV was surprisingly not that high as it could be, so maybe prices for booking this place was lower because of pandemic.
The theory about blond king being AgustD from his first mixtape is not the theory at all, Yoongi said it himself. And he was blond at that time too. His first mixtape was full of anger, pain and greed. Now he is calmer and more healthy mentally, so he is killing his past self. But did the mad king really die? Nobody knows.
Thank You for the Reaction you made, many youtubers are not like how u react because they're concern to what other fandom comment to them. I hope that you'll be there until they comeback to 2025 as a group. There are few youtubers who featured BTS only and dont really do other content, there are many youtubers who go to other kpop group when they new that BTS will stop doing a group activity for a while because they want to have many subscribers. But u you gave a meaningful comments about BTS and you are not hesitate to gave your opinion for the sake of others reaction or hate comments to you. I hope you will be their until the BTS will reunite again. Thank You
Daechwita is the music that is played for emperors and kings. This is filmed in a traditional Korean town castle. This is also a battle between his old and new self.
This is different form of Kpop that is known as K-Hiphop/Rap which is his main specialty that is really the genre where he can fully express himself while staying humble as Suga of BTS. *The meaning behind “Agust D” ~ It’s “Suga” spelled backwards and in reverse “D T” is short for Daegu Town which is his hometown and name of an old underground rap group that he was a part of as rapper “Gloss”.* SUGA stage name comes his favorite basketball position “Shooting Guard”.
OMG MY BOY HAS COME and GONE LIKE A PRO AFTER PLACING ANTIs, HATERS and CRITICS in their place on top slaying his ARMY 👀🙀 with his hardcore swag, rapid rapping, beast mode beats & traditional tempo and visuals (PAST AGUST D vs PRESENT AGUST D) dont even get me started with the fashion. I was holding my breathe the whole time seeing him getting up from the throne walking into the palace ready to put someone in their place, bodies on the ground, 😹 Jin & Jungkook pretending to fight behind Suga, BTS members hiding in plain sight and brings a modern car into traditional korean dynasty while battling his innerself then goes into nasty slow flow rap like RM did in DDAENG. It came to the end I was literally on the edge of my seat when he was being taken what looked like he was going to get beheaded while AGUSTD is showing off his sword skills then Suga takes the gun shooting the dark side of himself like a boss 😎 I noticed he used some beats with allot of phrases that he did in their BTS comeback trailer interlude: SHADOW. When I saw the scar, I remembered how much he loves scarface and reminds me abit of scar from lion king with mortal kombat vibes. The BLACK FIGURES behind SUGA presents the fandom: ARMY, he’s basically saying goodbye to his past because he’s ready to move on to a new chapter of his life. *Daechwita is a korean form of marching music that old armies used as they marched into battle or kingly procession; his old & current self fighting for domination over his present life. During his first mixtape he makes many references on how SUGA (stage name) kills Min Yoongi which is his true identity. Now, Agust D the raw savage side kills off the king and SUGA sits down from royalty; if i’m not mistaken, last emperor of the country. The concept/theme is a traditional dynasty where the long hair is indication of wealth and Agust D shown dressed in authentic kingly garments, It was also strongly frowned upon or forbidden for anyone with scars could never be royalty but with this track & music video breaks that stereotype by having Agust D shown with a large visible vertical scar on his eye which expresses even people with scars can be royal on top of showing how powerful his presence is which reminds me of kdrama Scarlet Heart: Ryeo 4th prince where he had a scar but became king despite of it but I also remember how much Suga loves Scarface. IN SIMPLE TERMS HE IS BASICALLY FIGHTING TO TRY STAYING HUMBLE AS A TRUE GROWING ARTIST / RAPPER by confronting his past self. Almost everyone had that reaction and for anyone who doesn’t know or recoginze him, he’s Suga of BTS a globally famous male kpop group, this is his solo alter-ego which is a self-produced solo artist/rapper, if you haven’t seen his first one; Its 2016 ‘AGUSTD’ mixtape. *THE PHRASES “I born a tiger I ain’t no weak pill popper like you”, he was born to be true to his craft not stray from it 😝 ... “We so fly we so fly private jet we so fly”, he’s talking about his groupmates BTS on how swagged they are then you see him bump into Jin (In a beard? Lol) who turns for a second and jungkook accidentally walks into the fishing pole that Jin is holding & they pretend to fight ... “off with their heads”, he doesn’t mean literally cutting their heads off but more or less he’s cutting their heads off with his words. Hahahaha, you know he’s not Suga when he DISSing justin timberlake when he says “cry me a river you just got no skills”* KIDDNG #AGUSTD2 #Confrontation #Daechwita #BTS
If you want to stay safe from strikes you must show the big hit logo at the beginning of their videos from their office page.
I would agree but it’s really yt copyright system.
They essentially won’t pay for third party verifications.
They let presumed copyright holders verify themselves. Which allows the system to be abused.
I know this because they gave me the strike to another channel that used my content and I wasn’t the actual copyright holder. I’ve had it out with Dingo directly over this and with who does SMTM and that’s who gave me my only strike that has stuck.
@@Jurnalist_ I'm just stating as a BTS Army member, it is best to show it if you don't want strikes from them. They want Army to share their content but we must do it with the logo from their videos.
Great reaction dude 💜
The 2 guys fighting in the back behind suga is Jin and jungkook they did a cameo in it.
OMG yes you are close
Its Korean. It looks the same but there are architectural difference. Daechwita is the music played when the king goes around also used as a call to arms. To understand the cultural references refer to a video called Korean explains Daechwita.
love watching your videos and hearing your interpretations!!
Those sort of constructions are widely spread in Southeast Asia, yes. With architectural differences, but that's for a crash course or wikipedia if you are interested ^^
Thanks for acknowledging you didn't know. Many just say "oooh that's a Chinese palace!" ... facepalm.
There is really rich history to all of it. I did major in Eastern Asian Studies (History, Politics, Economy... language) so not only I was interested before, I did learn a lot after. You could start watching historical movies (nothing to do with the JP or Chinese ones, but you'll probably find similarities) if you want to learn a tiny bit ^^
this is an actual Korean construction. this place is beautiful and many Korean dramas are filmed here
Korea is basically China lite. China and Joseon shared a lot of their culture, architecture and clothing were somewhat similar.
Also Korea was a feudal nation until a little over a century ago.
There are a couple of really good explanation video for this song.

A lot of the rap songs from BTS rap line, have explain videos for them, because you are correct, their are a lot of cultural references in them, that we Americans/ any other fans from any other country, won’t understand. DKDK TV is a channel that explains the cultural references, the guy that explains is also Korean. So you can just type in the song title, then put explain at the end, “deachwit explain”.
It's like saying "Here comes the King"
China and japan sadly have both occupied and enslaved (more so Japan) korea so the cultures are very similar you’ll find Japanese and Chinese language infused in korea and in a lot of their culture.
I need to do more research and googles. I know about the wild shit Japan did with the kept women. That got me in to the left over women conceit they have in Korea and Japan and China which I think is just mad. Some of my fav women are 30+ and I still can’t fathom how no one has wifed them up or started a family with them. This is also a bad way to think as it holds no space for what if she doesn’t want a family or husband. That’s okay for men why not women. It’s a weird double standard but I’m aware of it at least.
Shove the past in a rice chest - explanation taken from doolset: "The line references the story of 사도세자 (Crown Prince Sado), who died of starvation by being confined in a rice chest, which was by order of his father." If you wanna see the Korean movie "The throne", it retells the story - very dark.
Muish blog has a detailed historical context, more so than doolset which is short and sweet, if interested.
On the same note - when he said Gwanghe flow, it refers to an "insane king" in Korean history, paranoid and bloodthirsty, but also impressive in a few ways. King character might be his impersonification or reference. Personally, I think we are getting a continuation in the third mixtape/album. Just like I think the "king Suga" from Daechwita is the same character from the first Agust D mixtape.
P.S. I so wish your bts reactions were more popular, because I am not sure anyone will be able to fill in for me - but is the song Itgma (Don't Forget) somehow related to bfree? Is it a sneaky diss and a double somehow? Take my words with a grain of salt, I neither remember how the two are connected, nor where I heard this information
Thanks for Your reaction.
Daechwita AugustD.
very Imprortant song.
But, please
Be sure to watch it again with explanations.
This song has very important lyrics, messages and references.
To Korean Culture, History and BTS path.
Than You will understand better both the content and
the deep meaning.
and
My suggestion for the future.
Watch and listen older songs BTS, with subtitles and explanations.
especially I Recommend You Two Mixtapes August D.
First from 2016 August D/AugudtD.
and Second from 2020 D-2, Daechwita from this mixtape.
My summary:
Daechwita is Korean traditional military music, references to the old
days of kings.
and
You remember, BTS not only some performers.
BTS create Their own songs, from start to finish.
Lyrics, music, produce, messages, references, albums, mv, etc.
Their songs relates to Their experiences, true personal live,
journey BTS, Their hardships.
and relates to books, movie, facts, mental health, discrimination, Korean education,
eating disorders, depression, etc.
So...
I Hope...
You watch and listen more BTS Music.
First original MV with subtitles,
Second live performe.
and
I Recommend You too
BTS Introduction.
Videos by xCeleste, by Taylor,
The Rice of Bangtan, Chapter 0-21,
and more explanations about BTS and Their difficult journey
and about Their Amazing, Important Music.
and
See You.
I Purple U All.
Be safe Everyone.
BTS and ARMY.
We are Family.
The 2 guys fighting are Jin and Jungkook
💜🥰💜
You’ll see a lot of Japanese and Chinese references in Korea. They both ruled Korea at different times and tried to supplant their cultures.
Please watch daechwita explained by a korean on dkdktv channel.
"shoved a past into a rice chest" it's a reference abt a korean prince who was shoved into a rice chest by his father..

@@Jurnalist_ thank you for linking that. Im currently binge watching ur reactions :))
@@DaughterOfFiji no problem. Thank you for your time. 🙏🏾
Also with respect to your discussion of psychedelics and Ego dissolution …. RM is a deep thinker and voracious reader, and he was hugely impacted by reading about the psychological framework of Carl Jung. You mentioned Freudian terms (Ego/Id), Jung was a disciple of Freud and then took the shit to the next level. He described the “map of the soul” and reframed our understanding of the unconscious and how our repressed childhood traumas manifest as shitty adult behavior. Jung’s theories were the foundation of modern cognitive behavioral therapy. And yes it is being scientifically validated that small doses of certain “ego dissolving” psychotropics in controlled conditions can allow people to make huge leaps in therapy as they are able to gain new self awareness and face inner demons with less fear.
The 2019-2020 BTS “Map of the Soul” series is based on RM’s interpretation of Jung’s ideas. If you want to go deep check out the three tracks Ego, Persona, and Shadow, named after Jung’s terminology. RM, Suga, and JHope take one each as solo tracks, each has a music video and the lyrics and visuals will have your head spinning brother! That is right up your alley with how you like to think on it, you will not be disappointed!
Please react to "Daetchwita explained by a Korean " DKDKTV..... it's (in english)...sometimes having the lyrics isn't enough.........subscribed 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜This is in Korea....side note Korea was occupied by Japan and China at different times...And the writing at the beginning was Japanese....All will be explained in the video I suggested

These structures are korean buildings.
Yes, That's South Korean architecture.
DKDKTV meaning and explanation
It’s on the channel.
There are Explanation (TH-cam) videos on many of the BTS lyrics/music videos. Here's a link to two of the explanation videos of "Daechwita": 1) th-cam.com/video/JayEtmyXVpo/w-d-xo.html and 2) th-cam.com/video/_-4njtd0WpE/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! 💜💜💜
As others have mentioned (also mentioned previously myself if not mistaken), you need the explanation videos when you watch their music both as a group and solos. Some links below, both very interesting and from different perspectives to give the full picture. Rec using these sources in future:

This song put me on a wonderful path of BTS army. ❤
This was your first song? Wildflower by RM was mine I don’t think I would’ve rabbit holed off the back of this song. I think I got to it at a good point in my journey but I don’t think it would’ve made me as curious as wildflower did.
All three BTS rappers are often introspective in their lyrics, reflecting their thoughts and experiences at any given moment.
You've seen "Born Singer" (I'm so bummed I can't see your reaction to it here), so you've noticed how even in their early days, they'd already reflected on their debut experience. The song was written just days after their debut (June 13, 2013) and days after J. Cole's "Born Sinner" was released (June 18), and it was released on July 11.
That's why if you explore their discography over the years, you can see their growth as people and as artists.
For example, you can see how they view their haters evolve over the years. "Cypher 1-3" (2013-14) are still very aggressive as they're out to prove themselves to be legit rappers. By "Cypher 4" (2016), they don't care anymore about their haters, advising them to love themselves. For "Mic Drop" (2017), RM tried to write a diss track but the result sounded inauthentic because he didn't feel the anger anymore. With J-hope's verse as a guiding point, the song ended up a flex song, instead of a diss track. "Ddaeng" (2018) is more of a playful song, instead of aggressive. "Ugh" (2020) is more of a social commentary that laments how meaningless anger from haters is devaluing legitimate anger towards social injustices.
(For both "Ddaeng" and "Ugh", you'll need to pair your reaction with the explanation video from DKDKTV as there are references to Korean words that you'll need to know to understand the songs. Both are bangers you won't want to miss.)
Because the rappers write their own verses, you'll see their names credited as songwriters in most BTS songs. RM has the most credits (around 210 now) because he also writes lyrics for songs for the vocal line, as well as for another group (TXT) under Big Hit.
