He couldn't open the door because you can't open the door. Once you have experienced trauma, it stays with you forever. You can't "save" yourself from it, you can manage it, and you can give it less power over you but in the end, it is a part of us, you can't cut it out. I think that moment when he slides down the door is that moment of acceptance.
I agree with you. Even if an extreme trauma is from about 5 or 10 or 20 years ago, you'll never get over it, you'll just learn to live with it. Unfortunately, it stays with you for as long as you live.
I agree with you, something similar crossed my mind before reading your comment, for the most part. I also thought that the room is the amygdala, so him inside and lying down at the end could also be a representation of the trauma being left with less power. Because like you said, once you've had trauma it stays with you.
My take on the almonds. 1. Amygdala in latin means almond, in greek it was ἀμυγδάλη (amugdálē), as these two clusters of nuclei in the brain have the shape and size of almonds they were named amygdala. 2. in the book Almond the boy's mother gives him almonds to eat because she thought it would help him develop his amygdala, finally letting him feel things. 3. The Last - Agust D, here Yoongi mentions that he went to a psychiatrist back when he was around 18, he assisted with his parents, the doctor in that track asks "have you ever been (censored)?" (we infer that he refers to being su!cidal, or if he has thought of hurting himself or others, bcs if you have any experience with mental health professionals this is one of the first things they ask you), he says "I answer without any hesitation that I have". Once you say these words to a psychiatrist, they usually prescribe you medication. So the pills that you see in the MV are a reference to that. Now, why use the pills and almonds interchangably? Because while the almonds in "Almond" were used to try and make the boy feel something, pills are usually used to regulate your emotions and make you feel less, but also, as amygdala means almond, we can also take it to mean that Yoongi is consuming "amygdala" after "amygdala" trying to try and fix his own which is hyperactive. The song destroyed me, but the MV completely shattered me. I've had a rough life, Yoongi is the one who I relate to the most because of it, he, in some way or another, always manages to heal a part of me with every album, song he makes.
i saw your comment and I thank you for the explanation because in my country amigdala (how we write it) is something completely different. Yoongi was always the one I looked and listened to the most. I also had an accident and injured my shoulder badly to the point of having an addiction to pain killers to hide it from everyone (I was 15). That combined to the hard childhood, discrimination and genetic mental illnesses that I have made me take measures and decisions that I am not proud of today. Because of his music I decided to seek help and better myself but those feelings of depression are always there and when I fall again he releases a new music that picks me up from the floor. Thank you for saving me Yoongi
Thank god it's all in retrospective and Yoongi managed to stay with us and eventually heal through making this album. He has just finished a weverse live which he ended with "i cant change the past. and you need to forgive yourself. and for the past thats bothered me, i needed to forgive myself. that's why the title of the album is d-day"...because the time has come. Yoongi is so so so strong oh my god. He also said in different interviews that Agust D may return at some point, but this chapter of the story is over.
So some context about the motorcycle accident, I hope I have my facts correct here but please correct me if I'm wrong ARMY! When BTS were still trainees Yoongi had a job as a delivery boy to help support himself. On one shift he was knocked off of his bike by a car, being quite badly injured and dislocating his shoulder. At the time trainees at Big Hit were not allowed to have jobs, so Yoongi thought if he told Big Hit about the accident he'd get kicked out. Because of this he didn't tell anyone about it, and lived with that dislocated shoulder for years (whilst still doing idol training!) without getting help. It was only years later when he was more settled that he told the company and they helped him get treatment, however because of their busy schedules they were forced to just manage the injury as best they could with injections and medication. Unfortunately it all came to a head when the medication stopped helping, and some days he was in too much pain to move. This is why he took a few months off a few years ago, so he could finally get the surgery to fix the injury, after almost a decade of constant pain. The hardest thing for ARMYs was finding out about the surgery after it was over, and realising that there were multiple performances in recent months where he couldn't even move his arm on stage. He seems to have really blossomed since that surgery, and he seems so much healthier and happier, and it makes me happy to see. Music like this is the reason he's my ult bias, and he inspires and drives me to work hard every day.
During one of the B.T.S. Documentaries, they were in their cups and he casually mentioned the accident in detail. The other Members sobered up rather quickly as he detailed the accident.
Yoongi family is poor. Yoongi grandparent took and rised him. Heart surgery need lots of money.That why hes father work hard for medical costs and when he find out yoongi into the music he get worry. Cause make music in not easy life. He afrid the yoongi become like him . Becaus of hes parent work hard too make a better life... Yoongi feel lonely without love. Hes father never bring him play outside if im not mustike. Sorry my grammer is poor. As you can see... Yoongi in is teen is so lonely. Being told to study hard for better future over and over againd. And make you forget the think you love (music) is so hard and sad. I want to say more but my engs is so so poor. 😭😭😭😭
When you find out u father have liver cancer after the fight for the dream u choice, feeling guilty ,sad,angery and every negative emotion max all together. I dont know what to call that . What yoongi been trough in his life ?i can imagen the burden in his shoulder. I dont know what to say... I pray for you happiens and im glad you made it... 💜💜💜
윤기네 가족은 가난하지않아요. 보통의 가정보다 잘살아요. 다만 진로문제로 아버지와 대립이 있었음. 아버지는 기자가 되길 바란걸로 알고있음. 윤기는 적극적지원을 받는 대신 미래가 불확실한 음악을 선택했기에 돈이 늘 부족했어요. 이 이야기의 출처는 윤기의 형과 친구인 사람이 자세하게 적은글. 부모님이 가진 두 대의 최신형 자동차와 돈이 꽤 드는 음악작업실을 집에 만들어준 일 등등.. 하지만 윤기가 본인의 길을 가기위해 수많은 고통을 겪은건 사실임. 배달사고도 그 중 하나. 회사에서 쫒겨날까봐 말도 못하고 ㅜㅜ. 나는 그의 깊은 통찰과 박식함, 선함, 개방성에 반해서 그를 방탄소년단 에서 가장 좋아한다.
I cried a lot when I first watched the MV. Something that striked me is that I think in the making of of the MV he said how he wanted the scar to look fresh. So if you consider Amygdala the genesis, then you go to Daechwita where there is a scar but a little healed, and then to Haegeum that the cop's scar is almost 100% healed and the "robber" yoongi, his free version doesn't have any trace of the scar. So I feel that in that moment is when he finally felt like he could deal with everything. Everything is still inside his mind, but now he knows is all in the past, and that he did the best choice he could.
Suga mentioned when he was still a Big Hit trainee, he also worked as a delivery boy and was hit by a car during a shift and he was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder in 2013. He hide this problem from the company at first because he was just a trainee back then and afraid to be kicked out as an idol to be. Shoulder pains continued as was already a BTS member until he was further diagnosed in 2019 with ‘posterior labral tear of his left shoulder’, which means that the cartilage around his left shoulder joint has been torn. Since then, he has continued to receive various treatment to prevent his injury from affecting his activities. Suga underwent surgery to repair his torn shoulder last 2020.
Sé que BigHit estaba en una mala situación al comienzo pero ellos contaron que casi no tenían para comer, BigHit siempre los explotó para que lleguen a ser Idols de éxito, entrenaban hasta desmayarse pero ni siquiera les daban alimentos que los sostuvieron, como mínimo. Nunca les importó la salud física y mental de los chicos
BTS is on a whole different level when it comes to making music. They compel people to think, analyse, deep dive, get into psychology and philosophy....and so on. And they pass on very important life lessons and comfort that we can carry with us lifelong. Their songs r not seasonal to be enjoyed once n forgotten when a new song comes in. And they do this with the most beautiful melodies and rap. So we learn and grow as humans while also enjoying music. I am older than Yoongi (and RM and other members) but they all teach me so much that i can relate to and use in my life.
This song keeps haunting me. It feels like he ended with the beginning. I never knew how to describe accurately staying still, doing nothing and having your mind invaded by dozens of thoughts, memories and your heart racing as if you very running. Yoongi just did that with this music video. His voice in the chorus is like a cry or a yell, I don't know but it is incredibly powerful and painful. If feels like he released Haegeum first - although it is the conclusion and it reassures us that he is now in a stable mental place - so as not to makes us worried and shock us even more with the origin stories of Amygdala. Seeing him smile a lot more lately and enjoying life become even more meaningful. Not everyone is strong enough to overcome certain challenges and painful experiences. After all the pain he went through. I am so proud of him and thankful for sharing this with us. I could not help thinking that that maybe this song can help so many out there, including me. I wrote this before listening to your thoughts so as not to mix my thoughts with yours. Thank you and take care!
Hi Guys, I saw the MV last night and I literally burst out into tears.... Knowing that everything that happened here is true with Agust D, Yoongi. SUGA describes his past in this MV and it as well identifies how "WE" as individuals have been going through... Hence he was saying to RM that their music speaks to ARMY and that is WHY we are here, and that is WHY he writes music.... I could completely resonated into each & every lyrics he wrote and sang, I was so heart broken. The MV is as GOOD as what he is displaying it to us so wonderfully with his raw lyrics... Thank you for sharing your past with us SUGA... We love you and appreciate you.. Thank you for your reaction Daniel. I always love your analysis on their Videos 💜💜
This song and the mv had me in a chokehold. Not only did Yoongi's acting get MUCH better (and he was already literally a pro), but the entire cinematography backs it up. The song is a banger, no doubt. Haegeum is a traditional instrument, but it also means release from prohibition. The mv is so fascinating. In Daechwita, he killed the blond Agust D because he was too corrupt with anger and resentment. Agust D couldn't take it anymore. But in Haegeum the Agust D scar ended up as corrupted as the blonde Agust D. It's interesting that the new Agust D basically started the mv by killing a person and ending with the memory of it. Agust D is a trilogy because Yoongi was finally able to unite with Suga and Agust D. They are no longer apart because he learned to embrace all of his feelings. In this MV, the new Agust D. is a vigilante and violent villain because that's what Agust D is. But instead of just killing the scarred Agust D, who in this narrative, is a corrupt secret agent, (as happened to the blonde Agust D), he ALSO burned the money scar that Agust D had. My interpretation is that this whole mv revolves around FREE SPEECH, which may not be correct. 🤣. Finally, cheers to SUGA for yet another unique work of art.👏❤
This is personal to the extreme. Suga is strong and extremely brave to firstly even speak of these but then even a whole mv of visually representing his battles is crazy. I didn't think I could respect him more but here we are.
You've given a good breakdown of the relationship between all three songs: Daechitwa, Haegeum, and Amygdala...that is now in full circle, sitting in the back of the mind in summation. Suga has overcome and left the major lesson from these past experiences: Life Goes On. And we move on to the next chapter....
I've felt these things and this is a perfect depiction. I keep crying. I'm glad he won. Glad he's alive. He just said on a live that he almost made this the pre-release track... Which, wow, that would have been a choice. I love that he's a survivor, and that he's not trying to say that it's easy. He's singing from the middle of it but not without hope. I feel so seen. And I wish I could hug that man or make him soup or something
This is why I love watching reactors. The true ones. They make you feel like you are talking with a friend. Your insights are all coming from a sincere and emphatic heart. True that we can't do anything with our past, but isn't it more bearable if a loving soul holds our hand as we walk through it? Your kindness shines. ❤
Thank you for your in depth analyses. Youre the only reactor who delve deeply into the message that Suga is trying to tell us. He opened his fears, sad experiences and emotions through this song. And yes it is not about breaking records but rather finally breaking out from his past and looking forward to the future. The trilogy has been completed and Yoongi is now relieved of these past experiences and he has overcome the depression and challenges
The lotus flowers blooms by pushing its way through the mud, rising toward the sun's light but at nightfall they will close up and sink back into the water or mud. I think yoongi is still in the process of making himself better or feel better thats why the mv didn't have a happy ending cause he is still in there but slowly trying to remove himself from that position
I actually keep crying for 2 days after watching the mv, especially when the motorbike accident keeps playing over and over again. It hurts so bad thinking that it's haunting him for years.. and I understand how the bad memories keeps playing in your head even if you don't want to.. it's all too familiar. But. He just went live last night. And he said that the past will always be there, but he now forgive himself. Also on the documentary on disney+ he explained that he wants to tell this story so we know that he is okay now and hope that this help us who is going through the same thing can forgive ourselves eventhough the past and the memories will always be there, we have to move forward. He is there, always there, to comfort us so don't be afraid.
Everything is said. So what remains is to say thank you Yoongi for telling and showing your feelings to us. And thank you Daniel for this reaction. Always the best one.
This was such a heavy mv and song, Yoongi baring so much to us, his parents' illnesses and his accident, and the WAY he sings it, it's just heartbreaking. But I'm glad he's feeling well enough to share this, even if I know this wasn't easy by any means still. He's just such an admirable person and such a genius. Thank you for reacting to this song, for researching so much beforehand, and for being so respectful and appreciative
I admired Yoongi for his strength to overcome all his pain and struggles in life. I want to thank him for sharing his vulnerability to us through his songs. I wish him all the happines in life. Thanks for your insightful reaction. You never failed to impress me.
The best Amygdala reaction I watched, maybe the best reaction I ever watched in general. Thank you so much for it, I enjoyed every second. The research you did, amazing. Found your channel through this video and its an instant subscribe. You're amazing!
And left him for dead without helping him, I wonder how that person lives with their actions, no police investigation has ever been conducted, they have to live in their own prison every day
I think there's also a piece of it where over time, these kinds of memories warp and you blame yourself for them. Whatever the truth is, this is what it can feel like. But yeah I also hope that person can't sleep at night
4:16 noticed that Suga wearing Hoodie on the side eating "almond" a reference to the book "ALMOND" too, the character used to eat almond there thinking it'll help his small amygdala to grow. 🤧
then at the end of the tour at "The Final-encore" he finally opened the door and walked out smiling, after performing amygdala so many times during the tour, I want to believe he had a very needed catarsis from all those emotions.
This trilogy is so strong and it gives so much look inside yoongis past and that he shares it with us and everyone wasnt an easy decision for him for sure but a part of his healing to "scream it out into the world". I never thought i could feel and identify with bts and their members as individuals more than i did before but what they are all doing on their own right now shows their human site and it makes me sad and proud of them but also more sure about my own being and what im going through and that you have to face things to control them in some way - but that you can't control everything and its important to accept that too. Besides those very touching and meaningful lyrics and mvs coming out at the moment i have to say that im very thankful that you look into the meaning before, while and after the mvs to get a better understanding of what is going on. Not many do this and im really happy to see this here and that makes me come back to you always first when i look for reactions because you're just putting it in the right place and with the right thoughts. I really can't with people watching the mvs and just saying "i don't get what they're talking about but sounds ok." and me always kinda screaming:" Just look it up because those lyrics and mvs mean more than just making a new hit!" I just want people to appreciate and recognize that its more than music and that it's actually helps so many people in their own lifes and feel more seen thanks to those guys. I hope everyone gets what i mean - no bad blood against anyone of course! So, thank you so much again i really appreciate you and your work here on youtube
🇰🇷Suicide & depression stats are the highest globally. Mental Health is still a very unfortunate taboo subject, that it shouldn’t. This MV raises awareness. My opinion as a psychology professor in UK, this shouldn’t have a trigger alert warning.
Glad to see someone had the same psychological reaction to this that i did ......this makes me be able to relate to suga more ...and understand his personality more.....i thank him for opening up and allowing us into his heart and soul . This is the most impactful video i have ever e perienced ...
suga took us on a very deep emotional personal journey, this video was an artistic masterpiece. i loved your commentary and reaction to this song. i personally had to go back and listen to the songs 'huh, 'dawn, and 'snooze. after reading the lyrics again i think, i received the total storm message ''of completeness'' from yoongi, suga, agust d, as one whole' person. this was an amazing video that was breathtaking and should be a psa for all to see. we all need help and suga gave us 'himself'. thanks again for your reaction.💜
Thank you. I think you did a great job interpreting this and appreciate your candid comments. I'm sorry You have had to go through so much also. Glad you found this to be inspirational and not just tragic.
I can totally relate to becoming a brash, hard and cold version of oneself as armour against emotional pain. It was also constructing a fortress around myself for awhile. That version of myself used coldness, cuss words and hardcore gangsta rap blasting through town as a defense mechanism. I refused to feel. It hurt too much. I've shed some of that shell thankfully.
I also recently read an article where he wrote this song with the theme of suicide and self harm. Yes, you're right and that's why he created these personas. I can really relate to this song and Suga's personality so well as I went through a personality syndrome myself. He created this song to not only tell about what happened in his life but to make everyone aware of these mental health issues that could turn a person to a dark side. So this is why he created this persona so he can go through everything and overcome everything through music. I agree that music is definitely a therapy.
Musically it has nothing to do, but somehow it made me remember the song Scars by Papa Roach. And like half Linkin Park songs. It's the sad and the beacon of hope at the same time. I love your talking about the reason behind the songs, analysis and all that. It's hard to find people willing to speak about music and life like you.
Amygdala how the scar came to be. Deachwita both characters have the scar, finally in Haegeum the thief doesn't have the scar but the cop has the scar but it has somewhat faded and the non scarred character became victorious=Yoongi said D DAY is the day that he has freed himself from his past trauma
This song is incredibly powerful and I understand how it is overwhelming so many. I’m sorry you have had so many exceptionally difficult challenges and I hope this song helped you and helps others. It’s giving me a way to explain to myself how I feel. It’s raw emotions yet hopeful. He’s come out the other side. He’s better now he’s healing. We can too. 💜💜💜💜
Yoongi really opened up to us. This may be healing for him , to face his pain and trauma.. and for us, who are also going through the same thoughts... What really pained me about this song and MV, is finally knowing how he held all of this in. Not just while in pre debut, but through out his career. This are not really things you can just talk about in the open, not especially as an Idol who, aside from working hard , are always being hated on for no reason. Holding onto those pain, alone in your mind😭 .. knowing now that he was the one who inflicted that scar in order to cope with all the turmoil he must have been feeling, thus creating AGUST D, the one filled with anger, pain and malice 🥹 he was suffering and yet only tried to give us his best .. How must he have felt, after all his schedule and concerts, going back alone in his hotel room😭.. I'm glad he has his members with him ready to support and help him out. But after seeing this MV, I can never see that scar as anything but pain and proof of Yoongis strength and perseverance 🥹 thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best . 🥹🥹🥹 #agustd #dday #amygdala
Excellent reaction!!! Thank you for the analysis and commentary as is true Suga has healed from a lot of that, is in a better place and he himself has said that made him whom he is now. The fact he did this trilogy and spoke on it and shared it with us is truly amazing. ❤❤❤
I agree with all your points. I had another comment somewhere and it disappeared so I'm just going to go into the thoughts I had on the ending. It was a little confusing because I thought he would make it out of the room but now I'm thinking maybe he wasn't able to get out that room or into it from other side because he doesn't need those thoughts anymore and he can finally end that chapter by closing that door and leaving his old self behind...just a thought I had
Just how I admire Yoongi for his raw openness with us-I admire how real and open you are with us DG. I always have a high appreciation with how insightful your reactions are. You always find a way to make me look at things from a different perspective and that is why I keep coming back. Thank you for being you💜
It's a cycle. It's all him trying to remind himself and bring himself back down from all those temptations each time. The Agust D persona came about to carry the trauma that Yoongi went through. Because we can't change the past, all we can do is keep fighting to heal, little by little.
Dear friend... I was waiting for your lecture on the video... I admire the way you can deconstruct all the symbolism!! I have two opposite thoughts about the door... first, I thought it was the liberation, the light of a new life... but by the fact he couldn't open it, it made me think it could represent another kind of liberation, always represented as walking to a bright light 😢 and I'm happy he couldn't open it! He gave us that sequence: Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amygdala as the last one. It made me think that even he's showing us what started all that burden. In fact, he's showing us his process of cure. The treatment consists on facing the causes (going into your amygdala) to finally put the past in the past.
He certainly had a lot of struggles to cope with,but I think in this song is talking about the ones that leave you defenseless. Like there are hardships that require work hard or there are some ways to resolve them. But there are others -specially health situations- that feels out of hand,out of reach that leave you numb,don't know what to do and are extremely fearful. For example I my self have a close relative that is super strong and whatever this person could solve did and still do (making and working hard in their future and even others situations that can put their genious input and personal help) ,but in situations that it's not in their reach (like health ones ) panic , numbness,silence and constant -to the point of insomnia- thinking takes over for a long long time ( eventually depression mode)! The thought that they don't have any "control " over the situation messes them badly (the best way to describe it)!
Sobre el mv , es cierto , min Yoon-Gi dijo que es una ayuda para los treiner nuevos y los idol de la industria, que espera que sea útil para ellos , todo el álbum da esperanzas a que puede ver lo que Suga , Min Yoon-Gi quiere transmitir y tomarlo como referencia en nuestras , luchas . Es dificil de decir pero en estos momentos ha sido muy muy muy bueno para mí , estoy pasando una situación muy parecida a lo que él paso , no es en mi persona , si no en mi hija menor , y se que con mucha ayuda de Dios amor y guai profesional ella saldrá de esto .
And by the way. It's not that bad that video ended that past Yoongi can't open the door. Maybe it means Past can't get into present Yoongi s life. He don't live past anymore. Isn't it good. Even if he suffers now, sad or upset he don't let past influence on him
I love your reaction to this video/song. Your insights and words are so amazing. Thank you. Yoongi is such a brave, strong and relateable person. I can't count how many people I have seen say that they love him because he literally saved their lives.
THIS SONG IS A CRY OF MIN YUNGI'S SOUL! THIS IS THE PAIN THAT HE CARRIED AFTER THE YEARS THIS IS WHAT YOUNGI HOLD IN HIMSELF FOR SO LONG, AND WHAT YOUNGI WANTS TO RID OF NOW AND IS GETTING RID OF!! EVERYTHING IS INVESTED IN THIS SONG, AND ANXIETY, AND FATIGUE, AND PAIN, AND NOT PERCEPTION OF HIS CHOICE IN THE FAMILY INITIALLY, AND AN ACCIDENT, AND A SHOULDER THAT HAD SO MANY YEARS, AND AN OPERATION ON THE SAME SHOULDER!! AND THE THAT YUNGI VERY EARLY STARTED WORKING AND EARNING FOR HIMSELF WITHOUT ASKING FOR NOTHING AND NOT FROM ANYONE, EVEN FROM PARENTS!!! THERE IS SO MUCH PAIN IN THIS SONG THAT YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO IT WITHOUT TEARS!!
Yoongi lied about the car accident and said he fell down the stairs to explain his injury because he was afraid he would have to leave BTS. Even the members didn't know the truth until years later. (He tells them about it in the documentary of Red Bullet Tour).
He couldn't talk about his motorcycle accident because he was afraid BigHit would dump him. His shoulder was really messed up and he went a long time still doing all the dance practices, and working. Once he finally had to tell BigHit what had happened, he said (as I recall) they were really good to him and paid for his schooling so he didn't have to work and sent him to doctors. Just a couple of years ago he finally had surgery on his shoulder and he said it doesn't cause him pain anymore.
The accident 💔 and from what I've seen one interpretation of the pills are all the pain medications Yoongi had to rely on just to make it through trainee days and debut and years after
you never can forget what you ve been going thru in life but we only can learn to deal with it, but its a hard road to walk thru. every one deals with his problems his own way thats what makes it hard in life. some learn to hurt themself to forget the pain in side and there are who put their feelings a side because they don t want to feel that kind of things. thats the same as the one does kill themself and the other stay strong, but that doesn t mean that they are not have a depression. its for people hard to talk about their struggles because sometimes you don t understand them self. thats why a lot of people have depression because we can not always talk about the things and then you put up with it and then sometimes it pops up because somethings remind you of it.. people dont talk it because of they are scared that others don t understands them or tell them that they are crazy, just the scared of that people don t seak the help they needed. people who has those kind of feelings need to be strong and go to some one to talk to even its hard only to learn what those kind of thing can do to you and talk about it you can find a releave. but it never goes away,you learn to controle it thats most importend
What the your understanding is like mine..maybe because we know yoongi and the past that he's been through..I've been a subscriber to those army reactor for almost 4 yrs (monitoring) but I feel like you know them for so long... I know it based on your interpretation it's just that I didn't remember it I'm wise regarding to subscribing only bts content 😂 sorry ...ive😢 been busy on work and promotion for my job I skip TH-cam ... I only focused on them for 6 months now purchasing what I want helping in votings, streaming project but I didn't participate in meetings sorry my army friens ..in this song I always cry I know what yoongi felt that time😢
A couple of notes Yoongi has had a really rocky relationship with his father, who was not happy with is voices re music.. one of the most affecting clips is one where his parents were at a concert and when he catches sight of them he falls weeping into a prolonged bow to them… After the accident he was in pain until 2020 when he had surgery because he stopped being able to use the arm at all.. I worked as a therapist rehabbing shoulder injuries and surgeries and they are horribly painful… chronic pain actually has profound connection to the amygdala … Sorry this technical but fyi www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4701385/
Suga spoke about his accident a couple of times and even mentioned it in his lyrics (first mention in 2016 I think) but to have a visual representation of it is just another level of a heartbreak.
I think the "your" in the lyrics "I don't know your name" refers to the audience. He recreated the memories he wanted to hide and didn't want to remember through the MV. Imagine acting out his trauma for everyone to see... What this means is that he's gotten over the trauma now. So he seems to be saying that since he did it, you (the audience) can too.
I think 'you' is SUGA/AGUST D....the one who was previously experienced traumatic things in life (his accident & his parents being ill), the person who got scarred by all the hates of the world....the person whose anger was the driving force behind his AGUST D & D-2 album, but who is now (D-Day album) no longer there cause he (as he told us on IU Palette) has changed now cause he no longer has that anger anymore in him, he already forgave the haters & live in present (peace). Thus, he no longer remember his name anymore (already forgot the angry version of him) who then now asking "how is he doing lately?" (Based on his amygdala/traumatic past)
@@heroturbo76”Imagine acting out his trauma for all to see” - Simply reading these words made my heart rate spike & my panicked brain go “no no no no no”. I honestly don’t think I ever could. It takes an entirely different level of bravery on top of writing lyrics.
I’m a Psychology Professor in UK. It’s understandable if your heart feels heavy but, shows he’s now at peace & able to share it, as it was. I’am proud as a Psych. I hope all we talk to, no matter how long it may take, they come out the other end & don’t give up. Anyone struggling use this to help heal, he’s not just done this for himself, to let Army in but, to also send the message don’t suffer in silence. I cried when I watched this & so proud of this gent. Stay blessed all🙏💜🧿
DG, I appreciate your channel, your commentary, your compassion and insight! I cried within this song, with the mv, with almost every reactor…. But only those who are genuine, like yourself, do I make it all the way through them! StayGold DG! I have #YouNeverWalkAlone tattooed on my arm to help remind myself… It’s True! Thank you my OT7 Loves! 💜🙌🏻🪷
yoongi gave me the courage to look at my traumas from the perspective of a survivor. I think that many of us are the lotus flower... thank you for your interpretation.
The mad king is his anger, the scar he got from the pain he couldn't deal with, the police-boss is the corrupt, the greedy self of Yoongi, his scar too. He battles both
You're really genuine and authentic with your reactions. You give every video you react to the respect they deserve. I respect you for that and thank you so much. I hope and pray you're doing fine personally aswell. Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you for this amazing and thoughtful reaction and analysis, Yoongi was so raw and brave with this album and its wonderful there are listeners and reactors out there like you to bring more light and understanding to it 💜 thank you
When I first saw the video, I didn't realize that I'm tearing up... And since my head and my heart hurts a lot, I paused at 1:30. This is the reason why we shouldn't belittle anyone's painful experiences; as you didn't know how deep their wounds and scars are... you cannot change them with a blink of an eye, nor snap of your fingers... Every people has their own battle with their shadows and demons, who slowly eating them alive untill they completely engulfed Into the darkness... But at least we can all change for the better... A better life for those who suffered the most. Anyway, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece. God bless always!
He couldn't open the door because you can't open the door. Once you have experienced trauma, it stays with you forever. You can't "save" yourself from it, you can manage it, and you can give it less power over you but in the end, it is a part of us, you can't cut it out. I think that moment when he slides down the door is that moment of acceptance.
I agree with you. Even if an extreme trauma is from about 5 or 10 or 20 years ago, you'll never get over it, you'll just learn to live with it. Unfortunately, it stays with you for as long as you live.
Beautifully said
I agree with you, something similar crossed my mind before reading your comment, for the most part. I also thought that the room is the amygdala, so him inside and lying down at the end could also be a representation of the trauma being left with less power. Because like you said, once you've had trauma it stays with you.
My take on the almonds.
1. Amygdala in latin means almond, in greek it was ἀμυγδάλη (amugdálē), as these two clusters of nuclei in the brain have the shape and size of almonds they were named amygdala.
2. in the book Almond the boy's mother gives him almonds to eat because she thought it would help him develop his amygdala, finally letting him feel things.
3. The Last - Agust D, here Yoongi mentions that he went to a psychiatrist back when he was around 18, he assisted with his parents, the doctor in that track asks "have you ever been (censored)?" (we infer that he refers to being su!cidal, or if he has thought of hurting himself or others, bcs if you have any experience with mental health professionals this is one of the first things they ask you), he says "I answer without any hesitation that I have". Once you say these words to a psychiatrist, they usually prescribe you medication. So the pills that you see in the MV are a reference to that.
Now, why use the pills and almonds interchangably? Because while the almonds in "Almond" were used to try and make the boy feel something, pills are usually used to regulate your emotions and make you feel less, but also, as amygdala means almond, we can also take it to mean that Yoongi is consuming "amygdala" after "amygdala" trying to try and fix his own which is hyperactive.
The song destroyed me, but the MV completely shattered me. I've had a rough life, Yoongi is the one who I relate to the most because of it, he, in some way or another, always manages to heal a part of me with every album, song he makes.
It gives me strength that now I can survive everything.
the same, BTS IS the only ones who understand me
@@_mrsjaane_ I completely understand the sentiment. Often times, BTS were the only ones I could turn to.
Do you think that body he finds on the ground in the mv is his? An attempted suicide attempt? Probably with the pills?
i saw your comment and I thank you for the explanation because in my country amigdala (how we write it) is something completely different.
Yoongi was always the one I looked and listened to the most. I also had an accident and injured my shoulder badly to the point of having an addiction to pain killers to hide it from everyone (I was 15). That combined to the hard childhood, discrimination and genetic mental illnesses that I have made me take measures and decisions that I am not proud of today. Because of his music I decided to seek help and better myself but those feelings of depression are always there and when I fall again he releases a new music that picks me up from the floor. Thank you for saving me Yoongi
Thank god it's all in retrospective and Yoongi managed to stay with us and eventually heal through making this album. He has just finished a weverse live which he ended with "i cant change the past. and you need to forgive yourself. and for the past thats bothered me, i needed to forgive myself. that's why the title of the album is d-day"...because the time has come. Yoongi is so so so strong oh my god.
He also said in different interviews that Agust D may return at some point, but this chapter of the story is over.
aww
So some context about the motorcycle accident, I hope I have my facts correct here but please correct me if I'm wrong ARMY!
When BTS were still trainees Yoongi had a job as a delivery boy to help support himself. On one shift he was knocked off of his bike by a car, being quite badly injured and dislocating his shoulder. At the time trainees at Big Hit were not allowed to have jobs, so Yoongi thought if he told Big Hit about the accident he'd get kicked out. Because of this he didn't tell anyone about it, and lived with that dislocated shoulder for years (whilst still doing idol training!) without getting help. It was only years later when he was more settled that he told the company and they helped him get treatment, however because of their busy schedules they were forced to just manage the injury as best they could with injections and medication. Unfortunately it all came to a head when the medication stopped helping, and some days he was in too much pain to move. This is why he took a few months off a few years ago, so he could finally get the surgery to fix the injury, after almost a decade of constant pain. The hardest thing for ARMYs was finding out about the surgery after it was over, and realising that there were multiple performances in recent months where he couldn't even move his arm on stage.
He seems to have really blossomed since that surgery, and he seems so much healthier and happier, and it makes me happy to see. Music like this is the reason he's my ult bias, and he inspires and drives me to work hard every day.
During one of the B.T.S. Documentaries, they were in their cups and he casually mentioned the accident in detail. The other Members sobered up rather quickly as he detailed the accident.
Yoongi family is poor. Yoongi grandparent took and rised him. Heart surgery need lots of money.That why hes father work hard for medical costs and when he find out yoongi into the music he get worry. Cause make music in not easy life. He afrid the yoongi become like him
. Becaus of hes parent work hard too make a better life... Yoongi feel lonely without love. Hes father never bring him play outside if im not mustike. Sorry my grammer is poor.
As you can see... Yoongi in is teen is so lonely. Being told to study hard for better future over and over againd. And make you forget the think you love (music) is so hard and sad.
I want to say more but my engs is so so poor. 😭😭😭😭
When you find out u father have liver cancer after the fight for the dream u choice, feeling guilty ,sad,angery and every negative emotion max all together. I dont know what to call that . What yoongi been trough in his life ?i can imagen the burden in his shoulder. I dont know what to say...
I pray for you happiens and im glad you made it... 💜💜💜

I cried a lot when I first watched the MV. Something that striked me is that I think in the making of of the MV he said how he wanted the scar to look fresh. So if you consider Amygdala the genesis, then you go to Daechwita where there is a scar but a little healed, and then to Haegeum that the cop's scar is almost 100% healed and the "robber" yoongi, his free version doesn't have any trace of the scar. So I feel that in that moment is when he finally felt like he could deal with everything. Everything is still inside his mind, but now he knows is all in the past, and that he did the best choice he could.
Suga mentioned when he was still a Big Hit trainee, he also worked as a delivery boy and was hit by a car during a shift and he was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder in 2013. He hide this problem from the company at first because he was just a trainee back then and afraid to be kicked out as an idol to be. Shoulder pains continued as was already a BTS member until he was further diagnosed in 2019 with ‘posterior labral tear of his left shoulder’, which means that the cartilage around his left shoulder joint has been torn. Since then, he has continued to receive various treatment to prevent his injury from affecting his activities. Suga underwent surgery to repair his torn shoulder last 2020.
He suffered, while still doing the Choreography, until newer songs made it unbearable.
Sé que BigHit estaba en una mala situación al comienzo pero ellos contaron que casi no tenían para comer, BigHit siempre los explotó para que lleguen a ser Idols de éxito, entrenaban hasta desmayarse pero ni siquiera les daban alimentos que los sostuvieron, como mínimo. Nunca les importó la salud física y mental de los chicos
BTS is on a whole different level when it comes to making music. They compel people to think, analyse, deep dive, get into psychology and philosophy....and so on. And they pass on very important life lessons and comfort that we can carry with us lifelong. Their songs r not seasonal to be enjoyed once n forgotten when a new song comes in. And they do this with the most beautiful melodies and rap. So we learn and grow as humans while also enjoying music. I am older than Yoongi (and RM and other members) but they all teach me so much that i can relate to and use in my life.
This song keeps haunting me. It feels like he ended with the beginning. I never knew how to describe accurately staying still, doing nothing and having your mind invaded by dozens of thoughts, memories and your heart racing as if you very running. Yoongi just did that with this music video. His voice in the chorus is like a cry or a yell, I don't know but it is incredibly powerful and painful. If feels like he released Haegeum first - although it is the conclusion and it reassures us that he is now in a stable mental place - so as not to makes us worried and shock us even more with the origin stories of Amygdala. Seeing him smile a lot more lately and enjoying life become even more meaningful. Not everyone is strong enough to overcome certain challenges and painful experiences. After all the pain he went through. I am so proud of him and thankful for sharing this with us. I could not help thinking that that maybe this song can help so many out there, including me. I wrote this before listening to your thoughts so as not to mix my thoughts with yours. Thank you and take care!
Hi Guys, I saw the MV last night and I literally burst out into tears.... Knowing that everything that happened here is true with Agust D, Yoongi. SUGA describes his past in this MV and it as well identifies how "WE" as individuals have been going through... Hence he was saying to RM that their music speaks to ARMY and that is WHY we are here, and that is WHY he writes music.... I could completely resonated into each & every lyrics he wrote and sang, I was so heart broken. The MV is as GOOD as what he is displaying it to us so wonderfully with his raw lyrics... Thank you for sharing your past with us SUGA... We love you and appreciate you.. Thank you for your reaction Daniel. I always love your analysis on their Videos 💜💜
This song and the mv had me in a chokehold. Not only did Yoongi's acting get MUCH better (and he was already literally a pro), but the entire cinematography backs it up. The song is a banger, no doubt. Haegeum is a traditional instrument, but it also means release from prohibition. The mv is so fascinating. In Daechwita, he killed the blond Agust D because he was too corrupt with anger and resentment. Agust D couldn't take it anymore. But in Haegeum the Agust D scar ended up as corrupted as the blonde Agust D. It's interesting that the new Agust D basically started the mv by killing a person and ending with the memory of it. Agust D is a trilogy because Yoongi was finally able to unite with Suga and Agust D. They are no longer apart because he learned to embrace all of his feelings. In this MV, the new Agust D. is a vigilante and violent villain because that's what Agust D is. But instead of just killing the scarred Agust D, who in this narrative, is a corrupt secret agent, (as happened to the blonde Agust D), he ALSO burned the money scar that Agust D had. My interpretation is that this whole mv revolves around FREE SPEECH, which may not be correct. 🤣. Finally, cheers to SUGA for yet another unique work of art.👏❤
This is personal to the extreme. Suga is strong and extremely brave to firstly even speak of these but then even a whole mv of visually representing his battles is crazy. I didn't think I could respect him more but here we are.
You've given a good breakdown of the relationship between all three songs: Daechitwa, Haegeum, and Amygdala...that is now in full circle, sitting in the back of the mind in summation. Suga has overcome and left the major lesson from these past experiences: Life Goes On. And we move on to the next chapter....
I've felt these things and this is a perfect depiction. I keep crying. I'm glad he won. Glad he's alive.
He just said on a live that he almost made this the pre-release track... Which, wow, that would have been a choice.
I love that he's a survivor, and that he's not trying to say that it's easy. He's singing from the middle of it but not without hope.
I feel so seen. And I wish I could hug that man or make him soup or something
These BTS guys are incredibly inspiring in so many ways. So open to be vulnerable and true to themselves… I’m speechless.😔💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰
This is why I love watching reactors. The true ones. They make you feel like you are talking with a friend. Your insights are all coming from a sincere and emphatic heart. True that we can't do anything with our past, but isn't it more bearable if a loving soul holds our hand as we walk through it? Your kindness shines. ❤
Thank you for your in depth analyses. Youre the only reactor who delve deeply into the message that Suga is trying to tell us. He opened his fears, sad experiences and emotions through this song. And yes it is not about breaking records but rather finally breaking out from his past and looking forward to the future. The trilogy has been completed and Yoongi is now relieved of these past experiences and he has overcome the depression and challenges
The lotus flowers blooms by pushing its way through the mud, rising toward the sun's light but at nightfall they will close up and sink back into the water or mud. I think yoongi is still in the process of making himself better or feel better thats why the mv didn't have a happy ending cause he is still in there but slowly trying to remove himself from that position
One of the most beautiful song of this year. And visuals in mv are stunning. ❤❤❤
Thank you for reaction ✌️
I want to cry 💔💔 The song is so deep about his past and what Yoongi went through..the accident and everything is real 😭😭😭😭🫂🫂
I actually keep crying for 2 days after watching the mv, especially when the motorbike accident keeps playing over and over again. It hurts so bad thinking that it's haunting him for years.. and I understand how the bad memories keeps playing in your head even if you don't want to.. it's all too familiar.
But.
He just went live last night. And he said that the past will always be there, but he now forgive himself. Also on the documentary on disney+ he explained that he wants to tell this story so we know that he is okay now and hope that this help us who is going through the same thing can forgive ourselves eventhough the past and the memories will always be there, we have to move forward. He is there, always there, to comfort us so don't be afraid.
Everything is said. So what remains is to say thank you Yoongi for telling and showing your feelings to us. And thank you Daniel for this reaction. Always the best one.
This was such a heavy mv and song, Yoongi baring so much to us, his parents' illnesses and his accident, and the WAY he sings it, it's just heartbreaking. But I'm glad he's feeling well enough to share this, even if I know this wasn't easy by any means still. He's just such an admirable person and such a genius.
Thank you for reacting to this song, for researching so much beforehand, and for being so respectful and appreciative
I absolutely love watching your reactions. This song hits home hard. Much love from Canada 💜💜
I admired Yoongi for his strength to overcome all his pain and struggles in life. I want to thank him for sharing his vulnerability to us through his songs. I wish him all the happines in life. Thanks for your insightful reaction. You never failed to impress me.
I really love your reaction on how you interpret and understand every mv and lyrics especially when it comes to agust D mv's ❤💜
The best Amygdala reaction I watched, maybe the best reaction I ever watched in general. Thank you so much for it, I enjoyed every second. The research you did, amazing. Found your channel through this video and its an instant subscribe. You're amazing!
The car actually ran into Suga but he couldn’t/wouldn’t recreate that for a video.
And left him for dead without helping him, I wonder how that person lives with their actions, no police investigation has ever been conducted, they have to live in their own prison every day
I think there's also a piece of it where over time, these kinds of memories warp and you blame yourself for them. Whatever the truth is, this is what it can feel like.
But yeah I also hope that person can't sleep at night
Also it was a bus and his shoulder was rolled up into the wheel.
@@khakibase38 Where did you get this from it was a car and they took off not a bus
Thank you for your excellent reaction and for sharing your thoughts.
i love your empathy and open mind, your reactions are always one of my favourites for sure!
Thank you for this lovely reaction. This is such a touching sentiment given to ARMY.
In his song 'The Last', he walks through the white door smiling, and it stays open.😊
4:16 noticed that Suga wearing Hoodie on the side eating "almond" a reference to the book "ALMOND" too, the character used to eat almond there thinking it'll help his small amygdala to grow. 🤧
then at the end of the tour at "The Final-encore" he finally opened the door and walked out smiling, after performing amygdala so many times during the tour, I want to believe he had a very needed catarsis from all those emotions.
Loved the depth you went into... this is what a reaction should be... you actually took the time to really consider what Yoongi trying to say. BORAHAE
Tearing me a river cause similiar past😢❤
YOONGI IS JUST AN ANGELIC BEING.... THANK YOU FOR STAYING STRONG YOONGI, UR DECISION HAS HELPED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SURVIVE
This trilogy is so strong and it gives so much look inside yoongis past and that he shares it with us and everyone wasnt an easy decision for him for sure but a part of his healing to "scream it out into the world". I never thought i could feel and identify with bts and their members as individuals more than i did before but what they are all doing on their own right now shows their human site and it makes me sad and proud of them but also more sure about my own being and what im going through and that you have to face things to control them in some way - but that you can't control everything and its important to accept that too.
Besides those very touching and meaningful lyrics and mvs coming out at the moment i have to say that im very thankful that you look into the meaning before, while and after the mvs to get a better understanding of what is going on.
Not many do this and im really happy to see this here and that makes me come back to you always first when i look for reactions because you're just putting it in the right place and with the right thoughts.
I really can't with people watching the mvs and just saying "i don't get what they're talking about but sounds ok." and me always kinda screaming:" Just look it up because those lyrics and mvs mean more than just making a new hit!" I just want people to appreciate and recognize that its more than music and that it's actually helps so many people in their own lifes and feel more seen thanks to those guys.
I hope everyone gets what i mean - no bad blood against anyone of course!
So, thank you so much again i really appreciate you and your work here on youtube
You are awesome......take care.....it is very difficult to be vulnerable for the fear of getting hurt.....
🇰🇷Suicide & depression stats are the highest globally. Mental Health is still a very unfortunate taboo subject, that it shouldn’t. This MV raises awareness. My opinion as a psychology professor in UK, this shouldn’t have a trigger alert warning.
This is one of the best reacts I have watched so far... The explanation was on the point...
I feel like I'm reading yoongi's diary while watching this mv and listening to the song
Glad to see someone had the same psychological reaction to this that i did ......this makes me be able to relate to suga more ...and understand his personality more.....i thank him for opening up and allowing us into his heart and soul . This is the most impactful video i have ever e perienced ...
suga took us on a very deep emotional personal journey, this video was an artistic masterpiece. i loved your commentary and reaction to this song. i personally had to go back and listen to the songs 'huh, 'dawn, and 'snooze. after reading the lyrics again i think, i received the total storm message ''of completeness'' from yoongi, suga, agust d, as one whole' person. this was an amazing video that was breathtaking and should be a psa for all to see. we all need help and suga gave us 'himself'. thanks again for your reaction.💜
Thank you. I think you did a great job interpreting this and appreciate your candid comments. I'm sorry You have had to go through so much also. Glad you found this to be inspirational and not just tragic.
I can totally relate to becoming a brash, hard and cold version of oneself as armour against emotional pain. It was also constructing a fortress around myself for awhile. That version of myself used coldness, cuss words and hardcore gangsta rap blasting through town as a defense mechanism. I refused to feel. It hurt too much. I've shed some of that shell thankfully.
thank you for giving love and support to our suga 🫂🙏✨
Suga mentioned few years ago that his mum was sick after he was born but then he mentioned that his mum was about 40yo when she gave a birth to him
I also recently read an article where he wrote this song with the theme of suicide and self harm. Yes, you're right and that's why he created these personas. I can really relate to this song and Suga's personality so well as I went through a personality syndrome myself. He created this song to not only tell about what happened in his life but to make everyone aware of these mental health issues that could turn a person to a dark side. So this is why he created this persona so he can go through everything and overcome everything through music. I agree that music is definitely a therapy.
Musically it has nothing to do, but somehow it made me remember the song Scars by Papa Roach. And like half Linkin Park songs. It's the sad and the beacon of hope at the same time.
I love your talking about the reason behind the songs, analysis and all that. It's hard to find people willing to speak about music and life like you.
That was such a good interpretation. Thanks so much
Amygdala how the scar came to be. Deachwita both characters have the scar, finally in Haegeum the thief doesn't have the scar but the cop has the scar but it has somewhat faded and the non scarred character became victorious=Yoongi said D DAY is the day that he has freed himself from his past trauma
Thank you for your reaction. On point for this amazing song!
Thank you for the reaction 💜
Thank you for your reaction, love it.
LOVE everything you said in your reaction! I think it’s a perfect explanation! Thank you.
This song is incredibly powerful and I understand how it is overwhelming so many. I’m sorry you have had so many exceptionally difficult challenges and I hope this song helped you and helps others. It’s giving me a way to explain to myself how I feel. It’s raw emotions yet hopeful. He’s come out the other side. He’s better now he’s healing. We can too. 💜💜💜💜
He defenetly put all his pain into that song. I still cry while listening 😢
Yoongi really opened up to us. This may be
healing for him , to face his pain and trauma.. and for us, who are also going through the same thoughts...
What really pained me about this song and MV, is finally knowing how he held all of this in. Not just while in pre debut, but through out his career. This are not really things you can just talk about in the open, not especially as an Idol who, aside from working hard , are always being hated on for no reason. Holding onto those pain, alone in your mind😭 .. knowing now that he was the one who inflicted that scar in order to cope with all the turmoil he must have been feeling, thus creating AGUST D, the one filled with anger, pain and malice 🥹 he was suffering and yet only tried to give us his best .. How must he have felt, after all his schedule and concerts, going back alone in his hotel room😭.. I'm glad he has his members with him ready to support and help him out.
But after seeing this MV, I can never see that scar as anything but pain and proof of Yoongis strength and perseverance 🥹
thank u Yoongi for sharing us urself. you are strong . u deserve all the best . 🥹🥹🥹 #agustd #dday #amygdala
Wao the best analysis I heard so far! Thank you! 💜💜 I cried so much with this song and felt in love with it at the same time.
And everything said and shown here were true stories of sugas story.
Excellent reaction!!! Thank you for the analysis and commentary as is true Suga has healed from a lot of that, is in a better place and he himself has said that made him whom he is now. The fact he did this trilogy and spoke on it and shared it with us is truly amazing. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your analysis! So much wisdom and understanding! What a great reaction!
I agree with all your points. I had another comment somewhere and it disappeared so I'm just going to go into the thoughts I had on the ending. It was a little confusing because I thought he would make it out of the room but now I'm thinking maybe he wasn't able to get out that room or into it from other side because he doesn't need those thoughts anymore and he can finally end that chapter by closing that door and leaving his old self behind...just a thought I had
Always enjoy your thorough analyses of the works and the candid conversations about your own truths. Thank you.
I just can't breath😢😢😢😢
Just how I admire Yoongi for his raw openness with us-I admire how real and open you are with us DG. I always have a high appreciation with how insightful your reactions are. You always find a way to make me look at things from a different perspective and that is why I keep coming back. Thank you for being you💜
Every time i saw this mv i never dont cry 😭
It's a cycle. It's all him trying to remind himself and bring himself back down from all those temptations each time. The Agust D persona came about to carry the trauma that Yoongi went through. Because we can't change the past, all we can do is keep fighting to heal, little by little.
Great reaction
Dear friend... I was waiting for your lecture on the video... I admire the way you can deconstruct all the symbolism!!
I have two opposite thoughts about the door... first, I thought it was the liberation, the light of a new life... but by the fact he couldn't open it, it made me think it could represent another kind of liberation, always represented as walking to a bright light 😢 and I'm happy he couldn't open it!
He gave us that sequence: Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amygdala as the last one. It made me think that even he's showing us what started all that burden. In fact, he's showing us his process of cure. The treatment consists on facing the causes (going into your amygdala) to finally put the past in the past.
He certainly had a lot of struggles to cope with,but I think in this song is talking about the ones that leave you defenseless. Like there are hardships that require work hard or there are some ways to resolve them. But there are others -specially health situations- that feels out of hand,out of reach that leave you numb,don't know what to do and are extremely fearful. For example I my self have a close relative that is super strong and whatever this person could solve did and still do (making and working hard in their future and even others situations that can put their genious input and personal help) ,but in situations that it's not in their reach (like health ones ) panic , numbness,silence and constant -to the point of insomnia- thinking takes over for a long long time ( eventually depression mode)! The thought that they don't have any "control " over the situation messes them badly (the best way to describe it)!
Sobre el mv , es cierto , min Yoon-Gi dijo que es una ayuda para los treiner nuevos y los idol de la industria, que espera que sea útil para ellos , todo el álbum da esperanzas a que puede ver lo que Suga , Min Yoon-Gi quiere transmitir y tomarlo como referencia en nuestras , luchas .
Es dificil de decir pero en estos momentos ha sido muy muy muy bueno para mí , estoy pasando una situación muy parecida a lo que él paso , no es en mi persona , si no en mi hija menor , y se que con mucha ayuda de Dios amor y guai profesional ella saldrá de esto .
And by the way. It's not that bad that video ended that past Yoongi can't open the door. Maybe it means Past can't get into present Yoongi s life. He don't live past anymore. Isn't it good. Even if he suffers now, sad or upset he don't let past influence on him
Gracias por hablar y reaccionar con respeto, comprensión y atención sobre el tema, y Yoongi.
No merece menos.
Thanks for react
Sad, as a person who has depression, been to hell and back.. you never really reach the door. You get close.
I love your reaction to this video/song. Your insights and words are so amazing. Thank you. Yoongi is such a brave, strong and relateable person. I can't count how many people I have seen say that they love him because he literally saved their lives.
I love your review. I subscribed.
Thanks for reminds us 21:44 🥺😭
I love this song, omg T-T u need check out snooze, the lyrics is so amazing and powerful, i swear.
THIS SONG IS A CRY OF MIN YUNGI'S SOUL! THIS IS THE PAIN THAT HE CARRIED AFTER THE YEARS THIS IS WHAT YOUNGI HOLD IN HIMSELF FOR SO LONG, AND WHAT YOUNGI WANTS TO RID OF NOW AND IS GETTING RID OF!! EVERYTHING IS INVESTED IN THIS SONG, AND ANXIETY, AND FATIGUE, AND PAIN, AND NOT PERCEPTION OF HIS CHOICE IN THE FAMILY INITIALLY, AND AN ACCIDENT, AND A SHOULDER THAT HAD SO MANY YEARS, AND AN OPERATION ON THE SAME SHOULDER!! AND THE THAT YUNGI VERY EARLY STARTED WORKING AND EARNING FOR HIMSELF WITHOUT ASKING FOR NOTHING AND NOT FROM ANYONE, EVEN FROM PARENTS!!! THERE IS SO MUCH PAIN IN THIS SONG THAT YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO IT WITHOUT TEARS!!
Yoongi lied about the car accident and said he fell down the stairs to explain his injury because he was afraid he would have to leave BTS. Even the members didn't know the truth until years later. (He tells them about it in the documentary of Red Bullet Tour).
He couldn't talk about his motorcycle accident because he was afraid BigHit would dump him. His shoulder was really messed up and he went a long time still doing all the dance practices, and working. Once he finally had to tell BigHit what had happened, he said (as I recall) they were really good to him and paid for his schooling so he didn't have to work and sent him to doctors. Just a couple of years ago he finally had surgery on his shoulder and he said it doesn't cause him pain anymore.
The accident 💔 and from what I've seen one interpretation of the pills are all the pain medications Yoongi had to rely on just to make it through trainee days and debut and years after
you never can forget what you ve been going thru in life but we only can learn to deal with it, but its a hard road to walk thru. every one deals with his problems his own way thats what makes it hard in life. some learn to hurt themself to forget the pain in side and there are who put their feelings a side because they don t want to feel that kind of things. thats the same as the one does kill themself and the other stay strong, but that doesn t mean that they are not have a depression. its for people hard to talk about their struggles because sometimes you don t understand them self. thats why a lot of people have depression because we can not always talk about the things and then you put up with it and then sometimes it pops up because somethings remind you of it.. people dont talk it because of they are scared that others don t understands them or tell them that they are crazy, just the scared of that people don t seak the help they needed. people who has those kind of feelings need to be strong and go to some one to talk to even its hard only to learn what those kind of thing can do to you and talk about it you can find a releave. but it never goes away,you learn to controle it thats most importend
❤❤❤❤❤❤
this is his most impt song amongst the track of his album he said to RM
The almonds appear at 12:03.
I wonder if CNN has the guts or stupidly to go after Yoongi like they did Ren for his song,
What the your understanding is like mine..maybe because we know yoongi and the past that he's been through..I've been a subscriber to those army reactor for almost 4 yrs (monitoring) but I feel like you know them for so long... I know it based on your interpretation it's just that I didn't remember it I'm wise regarding to subscribing only bts content 😂 sorry ...ive😢 been busy on work and promotion for my job I skip TH-cam ... I only focused on them for 6 months now purchasing what I want helping in votings, streaming project but I didn't participate in meetings sorry my army friens ..in this song I always cry I know what yoongi felt that time😢
I hold the Novel tight when i saw the MV, it's so heart wrenching..
Thanks for the talk u have after watching d MV. 🩷 We r all heartbroken and im sure hopeful still. I applaud yoonhi for being honest, open and raw. 🫶🏻
A couple of notes
Yoongi has had a really rocky relationship with his father, who was not happy with is voices re music.. one of the most affecting clips is one where his parents were at a concert and when he catches sight of them he falls weeping into a prolonged bow to them…
After the accident he was in pain until 2020 when he had surgery because he stopped being able to use the arm at all.. I worked as a therapist rehabbing shoulder injuries and surgeries and they are horribly painful… chronic pain actually has profound connection to the amygdala …
Sorry this technical but fyi

Suga spoke about his accident a couple of times and even mentioned it in his lyrics (first mention in 2016 I think) but to have a visual representation of it is just another level of a heartbreak.
I think the "your" in the lyrics "I don't know your name" refers to the audience.
He recreated the memories he wanted to hide and didn't want to remember through the MV. Imagine acting out his trauma for everyone to see...
What this means is that he's gotten over the trauma now.
So he seems to be saying that since he did it, you (the audience) can too.
@@heroturbo76 respect your opinion! But I think yg is referring to himself, his other identities ( suga and agustd and yoongi)!
I think 'you' is SUGA/AGUST D....the one who was previously experienced traumatic things in life (his accident & his parents being ill), the person who got scarred by all the hates of the world....the person whose anger was the driving force behind his AGUST D & D-2 album, but who is now (D-Day album) no longer there cause he (as he told us on IU Palette) has changed now cause he no longer has that anger anymore in him, he already forgave the haters & live in present (peace). Thus, he no longer remember his name anymore (already forgot the angry version of him) who then now asking "how is he doing lately?" (Based on his amygdala/traumatic past)
@@heroturbo76”Imagine acting out his trauma for all to see” - Simply reading these words made my heart rate spike & my panicked brain go “no no no no no”. I honestly don’t think I ever could. It takes an entirely different level of bravery on top of writing lyrics.
I’m a Psychology Professor in UK. It’s understandable if your heart feels heavy but, shows he’s now at peace & able to share it, as it was. I’am proud as a Psych. I hope all we talk to, no matter how long it may take, they come out the other end & don’t give up. Anyone struggling use this to help heal, he’s not just done this for himself, to let Army in but, to also send the message don’t suffer in silence. I cried when I watched this & so proud of this gent. Stay blessed all🙏💜🧿
DG, I appreciate your channel, your commentary, your compassion and insight! I cried within this song, with the mv, with almost every reactor…. But only those who are genuine, like yourself, do I make it all the way through them!
StayGold DG!
I have #YouNeverWalkAlone tattooed on my arm to help remind myself… It’s True! Thank you my OT7 Loves! 💜🙌🏻🪷
hugs army
yoongi gave me the courage to look at my traumas from the perspective of a survivor. I think that many of us are the lotus flower... thank you for your interpretation.
First you feel punch in the stomach and than tears down your face. Amazing song.
The mad king is his anger, the scar he got from the pain he couldn't deal with, the police-boss is the corrupt, the greedy self of Yoongi, his scar too. He battles both
You're really genuine and authentic with your reactions. You give every video you react to the respect they deserve. I respect you for that and thank you so much. I hope and pray you're doing fine personally aswell. Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you for this amazing and thoughtful reaction and analysis, Yoongi was so raw and brave with this album and its wonderful there are listeners and reactors out there like you to bring more light and understanding to it 💜 thank you
When I first saw the video, I didn't realize that I'm tearing up...
And since my head and my heart hurts a lot, I paused at 1:30.
This is the reason why we shouldn't belittle anyone's painful experiences; as you didn't know how deep their wounds and scars are... you cannot change them with a blink of an eye, nor snap of your fingers...
Every people has their own battle with their shadows and demons, who slowly eating them alive untill they completely engulfed Into the darkness...
But at least we can all change for the better...
A better life for those who suffered the most.
Anyway, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece.
God bless always!
