Also had him watch the Save Me and Daechwita behind but I wanted to get this one out today to celebrate Yoongi's birthday!

"I wish I knew what that said" - it basically says Daechwita written in Chinese characters. Chinese characters were used for the Korean language before the Korean alphabet was invented. The three characters literally translate to "big," "blow," and "hit" - referring to the royal marching band procession and instruments used in daechwita.

The music video wasn't supposed to be this grand, they already had a vision planned, something more lowkey, but Suga pushed for this, even learned sword dancing 😭😭

The music at the beginning and sampled throughout actually *is* Daechwita. It’s traditional ceremonial, military music often used to announce the presence of the king. I think it translates to ‘great hitting and blowing’. Yoongi/Agust D is playing two aspects of himself. The mad king (also called Anger) is himself from the time of his first mixtape ‘Agust D’ released in 2016, and the rebel commoner is himself now (well, in 2020). There are six others in his ‘gang’, representing the other members of BTS, and the young woman who presents him with the car keys embodies ARMY. The revolver he uses at the end is a Colt ARMY revolver from 1860. He has suggested that maybe he didn’t actually ‘kill’ his former self, at least not completely. Yoongi’s three named personas (Min Yoongi, Suga and Agust D) are distinguishable from one another as well as being aspects of the same personality. There’s also a huge amount of cultural and historical reference which is best left to the explanation videos.

No more “Sorrys.” We enjoy watching your reaction from your professional perspective. I’m a fan of the ‘song”, the production, Suga’s rapping, and his acting skills. Stopping often only confirms ARMY’s opinion that Suga (and BTS) are exceptional. Keep going! I love your reactions.

The car is actually old, it's Hyundai first model of Grandeur Azura, 1986 era. (A Korean friend told me). It was a popular luxury car in Korea at the time, it was only sold in Korea and it symbolized your social status. 😊 I am enjoying your reactions, I love film as much as music so your feedback is interesting. PS: you didn't spot Jungkook and Jin lol

I like how he noticed the slo mo between modern Yoongi and the executioner, a super tiny cinematically fascinating half moment, but didn't bring up Jin and Jk scrapping in the back lmao

That’s part of what I love about bts, they don’t underestimate us as an audience. They know we love cinematography, fashion, art, and storytelling as much as they do.

The characters that popped up on screen are the Chinese characters for “daechwita” (Chinese characters were used in that era). 大 = dae = big/great/grand 吹 = chwi = to blow/blowing 打 = ta = to hit/hitting So “daechwita” literally means “great hitting and blowing” and refers to a genre of traditional military processional music using wind and percussion instruments. The scroll is revealed at the same time as the line about Bang PD dancing, the CEO of BigHit. On the scroll is a simple caricature of Bang PD, first drawn by JK in an episode of Run BTS (their own variety show). There was a Pictionary style game where they had to depict their CEO, and JK did so by drawing eyes and nose. Below this caricature is the Chinese character for dance 舞.

Detail to take into account: When AgustD is on his knees waiting to be executed, he smiles wryly because he knows that he will not be the one to die that night

I really hope Jeff would refrain apologizing for pausing cause we don't mind it all because you're insights and knowledge are valuable and what we wanted to hear. That's just me though hopefully you wouldn't mind me pointing it out. Love your reaction and been waiting for this reaction coz this was my fave video as cinematography and editing is concerned. Shout out to Taylor for doing a great job with filling some inputs to Jeff. Borahae 💜💜💜

My understanding is that Suga put that out for free on Sound Cloud. He is quoted somewhere as saying when they went in to talk about producing a video, the original plan was pretty sketchy and Suga said, Aw, hell, let's just make a movie! and they did.

He was spot on about the duality. Yoongi never talked about this mv being a series, but he did mention in the behind story that the second mixtape is somewhat a continuation of his first one. He also mentioned that the characters he portrayed in this mv is himself; the blonde king is his persona from the first mixtape while the black haired one is his current persona. so the final scene is a portrayal of him embracing the person he is today while eliminating his old self. idk if I explain that right but I think the behind the scene and some of the explanation videos made out there can tell you more about it.

One of my absolute favorite MVs and songs. Musically it is one of the most interesting songs and how he blended modern rap with the classical Korean instruments for Daechwita is genius and the mixing engineer labeled it yeh most difficult song he ever mixed with over 100 tracks (not unusual for anything BTS). What is next level is that he didn’t just write the rap he did it all including the concept and idea for the MV which he self financed. It’s almost accidental they got to use this location which is usually booked years in advance for Korean dramas etc but due to Covid a lot got disrupted and they got a 2 day filming window. This is all for a mixtape he released with no promo before or after for free, but did have option for digital sales and he broke ton of records as the top selling Korean solo artist again with no promo radio play etc. The idea of killing the inner mad/greedy/angry king that has been out beheading his haters and becoming his inner rebel/man of the people backed by BTS and Army plus all the historical references he put all over makes this just layers and layers of meanings. He used to be blind angry AgustD and he wants to be a rebel. One of the most well realized pieces of art and why he gets to refer to himself as “Min Yoongi - genius”.

I LOVE HOW HE CAN'T CONTROL HIMSELF LOVING DAECHWITA'S EVERY FRAME..

Okay first thing first. When he asks what's the difference between Big hit and Hybe, and you explain to him "Ariana Grande and Bieber is under Hybe as well" he's like "i'm sorry, what?" THAT'S SO PRICELESS LOL I'M LOVING IT. Yes, the company got THAT huge the last couple years, BTS made them THAT big. Impressive, right? I love that he pauses, there're things I did not notice before, but he pointed them out right away! so smart! Y'all do incredible reactions! Kudos for all of you! Stay healthy!

He was involved in all aspects of this song and music video and had great input into how the music video was designed/produced (working as usual with Director Lumpens (Choi YongSeok) who does most BTS MVs) - Yoongi wrote, produced, composed the song, he conceptualised the MV and had creative control, all in his "spare" time for his fans as part of his second mix tape (D-2) that he gave to ARMY for free on soundcloud... He performed it live with the rest of BTS at last years Festa kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9eEpqWnqL-meWQ.html MV Shooting Sketch - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gb2CfZt0uqjXiH0.html and D-2 Album interview - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7Kna8p91syUknk.html I'm not sure how much you know about YoonGi/Suga/AugstD....but as you liked his MV then the following info might be of interest to you. BTS stage name SuGa comes from a play on the words of his basketball team position - Shooting Guard (he was a good basketball player before he joined BTS). His alterego Rap name AgustD is his birthplace (Daegu Town - DT) and stage name (SUGA) backwards. SUGA started as an underground rapper under the name “Gloss”, a play on his given Korean name, YoonGi, which means “to shine”. He is a respected producer in Korea currently and had won awards for his producing of other artists songs. He joined Big Hit as a producer and was convinced to join BTS as he was told he wouldn't have to dance. Video Fun facts - 1. the executioner/the butcher at the beginning - is the director of lighting 2. the two guys who started fighting behind AgustD in the beginning as he walked through the market were Jin and JK who turned up on set to support YoonGi while he was filming and decided to join in the fun 3. YoonGi learnt that sword dance in 2 days - never having danced with a sword before!! 4. The gun used was a Colt M 1860 ARMY 5. They were going to use a really expensive modern car but it wouldn't drift so then they went with the old car that was really flash when YoonGi was young Daechwita is Traditional Joseon Korean Royal Parade/Military Music - notifying all that the king is here - Fun Fact: Yoongi(Suga) is a member of the clan of the very last empress of Korea. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS💜 Hi from Sydney Australia Borahae.

Loved the reaction! No need to keep apologising for the pausing! The text at the beginning is Daechwita written in Hanja which is an older form of written Korean that used Chinese characters. Daechwita roughly translates into "big blowing and hitting"(likely referring to the instruments used). Taylor was right about what Daechwita is. Agust D rearranged that music and incorporated some if it into this song. Speaking of Hanja, during the lyrics about Bang PD dancing because they keep making so much money, they showed the scroll with the Bang PD illustration on it but right under the nose is the word, "dance" in Hanja. Putting the word right where his mouth is always made me wonder if it was referencing how Bang PD went back on his word to Yoongi about dancing. 😂 Their company used to be Big Hit Entertainment but it expanded to include things other than just music so it was rebranded as HYBE and restructured so that there's a label called Bighit Music where Lee Hyun, BTS and TXT still reside from pre-HYBE times. They also bought up other labels which operate independently under HYBE. Ithaca Holdings was bought during this too and falls under the HYBE America branch. I believe there's also a HYBE Japan branch.

The melody sounding at the very beginning is Daechwita, it is a genre of korean traditional music that born close to the end of Joseon dinasty. Someone told me that it was played at Korean Palaces and everytime the king goes out or march to other places, like an announcement that the king is coming.

22:28 Blood Sweat and Tears, when I listened to it on the album, didn't have the excerpt from Demian, and I was kinda grateful ngl. I think that when it comes to BTS, each version of a song they make has a place and purpose. The video is designed to tell a story, the album is designed to be the soundtrack to that story. So honestly, I've never noticed an annoyance because my experience with BTS has made it so that my interest is kept and the distinction between the two versions is clear. Wow, you opened my eyes on that one. Kudos to you I didn't even notice that BTS did that to me.

Nice reaction. Appreciate your time and attention to the mv. The one that bumped Suga is member Jin and he's fighting in the background @ 7:38 with Jungkook. Fun fact: that gun is literally named Army haha

You don’t need to be sorry. I am enjoying your pausing and explanation. 👍🏼

Now that he’s watched the MV and the making of, I’d love to see what he thinks of the daechwita live performance with the whole group lol

Yoongi said that shot you mentioned when the dark-haired Yoongi lifts his head from under the "hat" was his favorite photo of the mv. It is beautiful. Yoongi wanted to use a couple different cars but the director settled on this one because the others could be made to drift properly. Big Hit was the original small company that signed BTS. In 2021 it renamed itself HYBE in order to rebrand itself and expand its reach. There are several interviews with Yoongi about the making of Daechwita that are very informative. The executioner was one of the butchers you saw earlier on the street.

22:32 normally, it would annoy me but when it comes to BTS, it doesn't bother me the slightest cause I love their storytelling and every shot means something... also, their music videos that have pauses like this are so artistic, like Blood Sweat and Tears and Fake Love...

I’m loving your journey. I think you would really appreciate watching the DKDKTV explanation of this video by a Korean which discusses the lyrics and symbolisms that non-Koreans would not understand

The music video versions of BTS music videos do not bother me at all, I love the pauses for cinematic and narrative enrichment. I love it honestly.

Where's Olive? She's really sweet and genuine. Would love to see more of her reaction videos. Please react to their 2019 MMA performance and Tiny Desk !!!

I LOVE all of the pauses and commentary!! I think you should pause EVEN MORE!! 💜This was the perfect way to celebrate Yoongi's birthday!!

If you have time you can watch explanation video of DKDKTV coz there’s a lot of historical references on this MV. Yoongi is really a genius!

The song is amazing prefect🔥 the visual.. the story talen.. the lirick.. the beat.. the flow.. the everything awesome ..incredible .. suga is genius.. he got unique voice.. the best producer.. songwriter.. composer.. masterpiece.. multitalented.. fast rapper.. king swag.. king of stage.. love suga so much 🥰😍💜 hbd my boy agustd 🎂🎉🎊💜 Like your reaction 😍

He has to react to Shadow.. please people comment the same 😅

Suga spent 3 million dollars of his own money to make this, and then put it out for free for his fans !

**had to pause!** Liking the hair cut and shirt, my friend!!! Ok! Now I will go back to watching your reactions and thoughts in his masterpiece!

Hi!! I love your reactions…. Sooooo profesional!!! Love your voice tooooo ….. 💜💜

Yay! I got here early. The song is a banger and the MV is a cinematic masterpiece. If I was a drinker, I'd take a sip every time you said "this was really well done!"...I have a feeling you're gonna say it a lot lol.

Jeff, great reaction! I've seen several filmmakers react to this, but yours was the most interesting to me. Your technical eye really shined. My favorite element in this story is that he uses an Army model gun to assassinate the power-hungry version of himself.

Happy Yoongi Day! I love watching professionals reacting to BTS. As a fan, maybe I'm biased when I say that most of their MVs are good when it comes to cinematography but coming from professionals like you who know the technicalities that they're good makes me happy. I don't know if my message is clear; english is not my first language. Thank you for your insights and reaction!

This mv is one of my favorites of all time 💜 From the visuals, cinematography, concept, storytelling, and editing = 💯. The taste, the choices. The mv reminded me so much of Netflix's Kingdom / Michael Jackson's smooth criminal. I like your breakdown reaction of the mv. I can't wait for you to watch more of BTS MVs. I suggest you watch their live performances too. Their production work there are so unique! Can't wait to watch more!

Please watch the explanation of this Mv with him, made by an Korean...for expl. from DKDKTV

There are never too many pauses to discuss details and nuance when you're ARMY! We are here to learn your perspective as a professional. I knew Yoongi's face with the scar and the hat blurry and his face and eye in focus was beautiful when I first saw it, but didn't notice WHY until you pointed it out.

Aw I wish you'd stop apologizing, we really love to hear what you have to say. It's so wholesome seeing you get this excited and passionate about the way they shot this music video. It also makes us learn so much.

Daechwita is basically like a fanfare - the music that plays to announce the arrival of royalty so "Daechwita, play it louder" (the king is coming) also Bang PD is more like their boss/CEO not just their producer :) and yeah crazy king Agust D steps on the people, new Agust D the new king is one with the people. They kind of reflect the Agust D from the first album vs the second and kind of his growth as a person as well.

I don't mind when they pause the song. The MV is a media on their on and I think it helps creating the mood to tell the story. In this case, the tension rising while you hear the crickets.... It's awesome. Got me hyped up every time.

Happy Birthday Yoongi!🤩👏🕺🎂🎈🍾🥂🥳🎉🎊 #HappySugaDay

Jeff the 'crazy pause' guy 😂😂. Its totally fine pausing and sharing your views and knowledge with us. That's what a reaction is, after all. 💜

Just some tidbits ..... Daechwita” music video was filmed in a famous and well-preserved historically-themed location called the Dae Jang Geum Park. It was built to showcase how South Korea used to live in the past. It's pretty immersive since you can wear South Korea's traditional clothing (aka the Hanbok). This site is often used for period pieces for kdramas & kpop MV's.... The car is the first model of the Hyundai Grandeur Azera, manufactured from 1986 to 1992. BTS is a brand ambassador for Hyundai. Bang Si-Hyuk (Hitman Bang) is drawn in the pic... he started BTS and BigHit label... Near the beginning Suga acknowledged the butcher who is also the executioner.... in Silla & Josean eras the butcher often served as the executioner for the King... the look between Suga and him kind of indicates the plan they had for him not to behead Suga, so Suga could "overthrough" the Mad King... In the end the gun used is a In a homage to Army, the gun used was a Colt m1860 ARMY 44-single action revolver manufactured and used during the American civil war.

I love watching reactions to BTS music because every time I learn something new and what you bring to the table is great. I am glad you decided to check Daechwita, one of Agust D best songs because you talked about so many concepts in the video that I have no idea about. SUGA impresses me all the time, and this song is a masterpiece. I am looking forward your next reaction.

the lighting director for this MV is also the one that did Kingdom (2019) Netflix series

This MV is what started me on the road to BTS and Army. It caught my eye because I used to watch a lot of the old Hong Kong films, and then the amazing production, music, story, just everything caused me to want to find out more about this Agust D person. Little did I know where it would lead. I’ll be forever grateful to whatever algo caused YT to recommend this to me. I enjoyed your analysis, thanks for doing it.

The Chinese characters that appear at the beginning of the MV are the Chinese characters for Daechwita. (大吹打). The first characher "dae" 大 means big, the second character "chwi" 吹 means to blow and the last character "ta" 打 means to hit. Dechwita is actually a piece of Korean traditional music performed by wind and percussion instruments and it is basically a march. You can hear the beginning of the march in the intro of the MV where Suga is seen going out of the throne room. Also, the "Explained by a Korean" series are very helpful, especially to get some more info on the specific Korean elements.

I really like that you see technical details that we would pass, god I wish I could watch daechwita for the first time again, such a masterpiece.

Happy YOONGI/SUGA/AGUST D day!!! So happy you released this to celebrate Yoongi's birthday! Daechwita is truly a masterpiece. I love seeing kuya Jeff's reaction to MVs and behind the scenes. He is knowledgeable and always shares bits and pieces of advice especially when it comes to cinematography. Looking forward to your next reaction. 💜

Actually, you're right. Yoongi have said this before in a interview that he plays both parts and both characters represents him, the old self (the king) and the present self or the new self of him.

What's interesting is throughout the video/song, there's only one beat throughout! ♡ yoongi's way of changing his rap speed and tone of voice is what makes the song interesting (besides the visuals and lyrics ofc) ☻

16 seconds in and multiple pauses already... You're in for a treat! Lol

Fun Fact- the gun he uses at the end is actually named "Army"

I really like how you break it down and give us your perspective. I don’t know anything about film making/production and your description makes me appreciate how well this MV is put together.

HAPPY birthday To Yoongi💜🎂

I recommend you watch the K-drama called ‘Kingdom’! It’s my favourite! Anyway, I recommend it because it’s the same lighting director as Daechwita! The lighting is always beautiful, they definitely view it as their art form not just a job

I smiled from the moment I saw what you where reacting to and trough the whole video as well, I'm glad that you enjoyed it💜 Sometimes BTS' videos can be a little to much if you are new to their content but I'm glad that you find appreciation on what they do besides their music, at the end, both music and visual are pretty important to bts and their team, so I'm glad that you are enjoying this journey on your own way💜

Love your reactions cause it is so nice to listen to the opinion of an expert that appreciates their hard work in their productions

Yes…so happy to see you watching this..one of my favorites m.

Thanks for the reaction and for teaching me new ways to understand and appreciate the art. I am content for you to watch and pause however works best for you.

This is stunning example of mini cinematography! Yoongi's intensity fits so well - no end to their talents apparently - they can do it all! SO GOOD!!!

Big Hit Entertainment is BTS’ label (company/agency) and Bang PD was the CEO who is also a producer. He created and invested effort/money/time into BTS and it’s members when they were just a very small agency. Fast forward, as BTS success was rising into the stratosphere, the company was growing along with them in their innovation and investments, and then finally became an all encompassing company called HYBE which have acquired labels and companies under it including Ithaca Holdings which manages artists such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, etc. They’re no longer called Big Hit Entertainment, but there is now Big Hit Music which BTS and a few acts fall under it. From what I read, Bang PD (HYBE) made Big Hit Music as a separate entity, even though BHM are owned by HYBE. I remember being relieved when I heard this, because I didn’t want new company higher ups/powers that joined HYBE to fiddle or mess with what BTS has going on and had established.

The hanja characters at the beginning say daechwita. The car is a Hyundai Grandeur Azera, (c,1990). Stop and rewind as much as you want. I appreciate your insights.

Agust D is producer, songwriter, composer of his own music. He is usually credited for keyboard/piano and synthesizer in his songs as well and he is always behind the concepts of his MVs

I love how the music video tells a story… it doesn’t annoy me at all. If anything, it adds to the song. It’s incredible 💜💜💜

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jeff's reaction to the ending was EVERYTHING I could have hoped for. ^_^ 💜💜💜

Soooo About the car it is classic Hyundai, classic as older car, it was first model that come out for public sale that was symbol of "luxury", it was like in 80s in Korea and if someone got this car that was like symbol of status then, so it is in some why a little not to modern history but little nod to korean brand history in a way, like he come in car that is old for now but at his prime it was for general public but was highend. I don't know if I explained it good... Like Mercedes or BMW in another places in teory everyone can buy it but when you see someone have it, it is like "oh wow". (actually Hyundai tweeted about it when they saw MV bc there are ARMYs in company ;) ) With the man that was to execiute Suga, He is a butcher at the begining and he also kills people for king and his advisors and etc, bc work with meat was important, someobe have to do it but it was very bad look on job, they didn't have good live, like people thought this was "dirty" job and look down, bc they were around death all time and this was bad omen, but that is why they also took job as executors bc they have nothing to loss, people were going to look bad at them regardless so why no to take more jobs and maybe have a little better life for themself - something like that. Hmm bc It was obviulos hard job like mentaly they were drinking before. That is why guy drink and split alcohol when Suga is on his knees waiting for death, it was death dance the guys were drinking to blank themself and they were spliting some of it to make evil go, so dark powers/souls/spirits didn't stay with them bc of their job - killing. I think if there some more info to tell that is not in making of video. Or explenation videos. Hmm Ohhh about Bang PD image on scroll it is Bang PD like he also say in lyrics and it is inspired by JK drowing, but to add info the lips part is actually symbol for dance in korean so it is like literally line from song he rap that Bang PD is dancing bc everything is great and they show this scroll that has his face and lips saing "dance". It is soo well thought. For fun fact the gun he pull out is called ARMY it is colt if I remember correctly, and it is all accurate time wise, like the last years of Josen dynasty (Suga is wearing their symbols and palace was from that time, we know bc of symbols in buldings and painting behind trone) and this gun production match, so it is history wise accurate.

Hybe basically has two parts hybe in America where they bought the itchaca holdings and the main branch is in Korea, hybe is a public organisation. Basically hybe is the expand bighit. But after rebranding bighit was under hybe Korea, and bighit music is not public label. It was directly own by Bang pd and the boys. Only TXT and BTS are under bighit music and simply no one can touch TXT or BTS because it's not a public label like hybe. Hybe has various labels like piedles and ect... hybe was also owned by Bang pd. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have very little knowledge when it comes to business and organisations and sorry for my English too ! And also as far as I know deachwita is some kinf of instrument they used in josan dynasty to announce the appearance of the king. I'm not a korean so you better watch an explanation video for this. I recommend DKDTV one. This song is a pure master piece. If you noticed this song only has one beat going through the whole song and it's only Yoongi's rapping flow changing. When you noticed it you'll blow your mind. It still gives me goosebumps when thinking how genius this man is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMepeNee3r66oKM.html here's the explanation

haven’t even started the video yet because i’m just savoring the anticipation of how much I KNOW jeff is gonna spaz out over every single frame 😭 …okay i think i’m good now! *hits play*

"I know a Korean movie, i just can't remember the name" Jungkook, is this you???

I've never liked Rap songs in my entire life until Daechwita and chicken noodle soup 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

As soon as i saw the thumbnail, i instantly clicked it!! I love Jeff's reactions!! Especially this mv is one of my faves. So excited to watch his journey as he goes along the BTS rabbit hole 🥰

lol this was recommended to me and i watched it while i was studying because his voice is so calm and soothing. love your reaction!! can't wait for save me and blood sweat and tears!!

Fun fact - Min Yoongi is descended from royalty - he is part of the Yeoheung Min Clan during the Joseon dynasty. His lineage includes Queen Inhyeon, Queen Wongyeong, Empress Myeongseong and Empress Sunmyeong (last empress of Korea). Happy Min Yoongi Day.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched that video so it's fun to see it through new eyes and learn new things! You point out things that I haven't noticed before.

I am so glad you saw this. I knew you would totally nerd out on it. PDBang is the ceo and boss of Big Hits. He created the label and is responsible for creating BTS. He just stepped down from HYBE to go back to creative directing with Big Hits. On another note, because you like rap you should check out not only more of Agust D but also some RM solos. The first that comes to mind is Do You for the stripped down nature of that recording and video. Then Joke. The video is as disturbing as the song. For the entire group I would love your take on Idol.

Detail to look out for: When AgustD stands before a market stall, one of the two men is the executioner who ultimately helps him kill the king.

I love your reactions and because of your explanations i appreciate BTS more and more. I love that you see their talent! HAPPY SUGA Day! Borahae💜

I smiled so big when he got it right that the two characters represent the old and new self of Yoongi.

Ah, I'm so happy! This is such a great MV! I loved every pause! I've seen it 100 times an still pick new things thanks to you! And learn a bit about filming! (edit for typo)

I think the “I’m sorry” all the time is so cute 😂💜

I was impatiently waiting for your next reaction video and was so excited to see this was the one Taylor picked! The perfect choice for Yoongi’s birthday. I think that most of the people coming to watch your reactions have seen the MV a few times, so we don’t mind you pausing and taking the time to explain your thoughts. It is really cool to get to better appreciation for the art, we all know that we love it, but when you explain the techniques and work that go into making it that’s so unique. Thank you for taking the time to go on this journey and let so many fans experience the joy of watching BTS with a fresh perspective.

I think I've come to accept that your reactions, specifically, will not be about the music, but about the production. I, personally, fell down the BTS rabbit hole 'cause of the songs, and the lyrics, in particular, but it's cool to hear your perspective on the visual content, even tho' I can't apply it to my Spotify playlist. LOL! Thank you for your thoughtful insights!

Another awesome reaction, thank you! I had to laugh though when you went back over Jin and JK's cameo about three times in a row and didn't recognise them, or even point out their odd interaction compared to the rest of the cast lol.

The thing about ARMY, we love comment and reaction. Longer, sincere, full of questions and comments reaction is waaay better than a short, blunt one. We don't need people to say 'wow BTS is great' because we already know that lol but we love it when people ask 'what is it, why, wow can anyone explain, this is unique, this is different, I need to dig more'...

Can’t wait for him to watch & comments on Blood, Sweat & Tears Korean + Japanese version, Fake Love & Film Out. Add : oh and My Universe with Coldplay + MV documentary (Coldplay’s channel) for a bit of a metaverse approach. Honestly wanna know what he thinks about Not Today & Spring Day too! 😄

The set for the movie is actually a palace complex that was built to film Korean historical dramas. There are actual historical palaces in Seoul, but I don't think they're available for filming.

One historical thing in this is that during the Josean era the king/emperor would behead his enemies and keep their heads in a box so their body had to be buried without it. This was a way of not letting his enemies “rest in peace” and brought shame upon the family of the “traitor.” Suga is actually a direct descendant of the last Empress of Korea! Also, if you look closely, the two guys that get in a fight in the marketplace are Jin and Jungkook!

Happy Birthday suga

You see there is a difference between people that pause to add actual useful information and to comment on what is going on rather than people that pause every 20 seconds so that youtube can't copyright strike or something (I don't know how it works). Also, love that you rewatched to read the lyrics I would rather have you watch 2 or 3 times so that you can get all the elements rather than trying to watch everything in just one listen.

Daechwita is the traditional music played to announce the king or for the army to march to. Bighit was the original company of Bang Si Hyuk, when they got so rich I am not clear if he set up Hybe or bought into Hybe. I really enjoyed your reaction to the MV and your explanation of some of the filming.

August D 💜 THANK YOU 🤧

One of my favorite Yoongi vids. Always enjoy your reactions! Love that, as a filmmaker, you pay such CLOSE attention!

I like how the reverse record sound takes him back to the past 🎶

I find it cool that King Yoongi wears blakc and gold, while modern yoongi drives a black and gold car

Interesting note: you'll notice that Yoongi the Mad King is always in his palace alone while his advisors are outside. This could be an allegory to Emperor Qin Shi Huang (the tyrannical ruler who unified China) who was allegedly so paranoid that he slept in a different room every single night and didn't allow people within 100 yards of him. You are right, at the very beginning 0:18, those are dead bodies covered with straw mats with their heads placed next to them. More heads hanging from poles 1:54. Here 1:57 more heads in boxes.
