Daechwita was the traditional music played to let people know when the King or the royal military was coming through. Yoongi has said that the King represents his past self, the greedy selfish part of who he used to be, and the peasant is his more humble present self. Also, the butcher in the beginning is also the executioner; their look exchanged at the beginning was them plotting the betrayal and execution of the King. Also... it was Jin AND Jungkook in the fist fight behind Suga in the market. The antique gun he used to shoot the King.... is legitimately called Army. :)

in a bangtan bomb interview, yoongi actually said that the concept for the mv was supposed to be simpler, but he walked into that meeting room and said "nah. let's make a whole ass movie." lmfao 💀 just kidding, that's not the actual words but you know what im saying SO, YES, YOONGI WAS THE BRILLIANT MIND BEHIND THE ICONIC DAECHWITA MV.

Jungkook and Jin fighting in the background 😂💜

*SUGA NOT ONLY DID LYRICS,PRODUCTION BUT IT HIS STORY IDEA, EVEN THE SCAR. THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SIMPLE BUT HE SAID HE WANTED TO DO IT LIKE THIS,HE EVEN CHOSE THE SWORD. SO YOONGI IS A MASTERMINDDDD DYLANNN*

No CGIs/green screen.. u gotta check out the “shooting sketch” there’s an interview of Suga.. (the making of MV/music/beats/lyrics.. etc) and the “behind the scene” Yes, he sat at a table with the production team 😁 they discuss even the tiny details; what kind of sword Yoongi wanted to use. He chose hwando and the gun is named ARMY

With all his success and achievements he’s killing the tyrannical king side of himself to keep himself grounded and humble

Suga even trained for the sword scene .. and the fact that this is his individual project with this kind of production level is amazing. not just anyone can film where they filmed this.

Yes there’s a behind the scene for this. Its on Bangtantv. “Agust D MV Shooting sketch” Waiting for more video reactions from you guys!

"Min Suga. Genius. Those two words should be enough" - Min Yoongi

Suga did said the mv is his idea. I think it supposed to be simpler, but suga wanted for higher budget n shoot at that palace. Even the countdown for his mixtape is his idea. He loves complicated, mystery movies like inception so not a surprise to see this mv has very good n intriguing storyline.

I get goosebumps every time I watch Daechwita -even after having watched it dozens of times... just perfection.

AGUST D, SUGA is beyond genius. The whole concept is his and l love your cinematography reactions. So much COOL in the room 💜💜💜🐨🦘🇦🇺✔️

Yoongi aka suga is indeed a genius. His word play in lyrics are so raw that it hit you like an actual arrow right to your heart. Also Daechiwta is a traditional music played during kings arrival. Btw, yoongi's studio name is Genius Lab.

It's not CGI every set is a real palace

man what i love about this video is that their team came to him with an idea that was wayyyy more simple, but Yoongi was like "No :)" And had this whole concept laid out with the story of the King versus the Rebel, the swords, the marketplace all of it was his idea otherwise we probably would have a video of just like....him being swaggy against solid LED screens or whatever videographers have been doing for rappers these days. He even planned out the social media roll-out starting with a D-7 countdown and ending with D-2, the name of the album. Just brilliant really. He IS a genius lol And yea he said that he is both characters, both the King and the Rebel. They are both himself. I think it's also a nod to his rise to fame the way the rebel rose to power, and the King is a nod to his ego as well. He has his team and even his actual stylist in that scene where he gets the keys. It's just really smart and cool how he did all this, ill never shut up about it. The sword versus the gun is also a nod to the old killing out the new and moving to the future. Yea its an amazing video. Was SO fun to watch with yall!!! I think Blood Sweat and Tears is also a great video. Yes and what your friend said, PLEASE DO THAT!!!! Just watch the video once through and then go back and pause a million times. I love cinematography as well and am definitely watching to geek out alongside yall!!

Yoongi Is a king and a boss Dylan is a Yoongi simp Me: I'm with you Dylan and because he's ur bias obviously

No one can beat suga in Rap that's why He is the best Rapper in kpop😍😍😍

When you show the stuff to other people I really recommend not talking during it, not to damage their and our experience. I know it's tough but you gotta keep it in! xD

Every time I watch the "Daechwita" MV, I remember that Yoongi spent time researching swords and ordering a custom one to have that weighs less than what it looks like, to make his sword dance moves perfectly balanced. That's ONE detail. ONE. Imagine how much thought he put into the rest, beginning with the music, of course! The gold earrings he's wearing as emperor are made to look like the ones worn by kings in the Silla kingdom, which was located in the part of Korea he was born in, centuries later. The specific car model they used was the one criminal gangs had to show status when he grew up. You can literally write entire essays on just the tiniest detail in this MV.

Dylan didnt do his hoooommeeeewooork :D there's a behind the scenes, and forgetting the word daechwita, cmon! tsk tsk tsk

Daechwita (literally "great blowing and hitting") is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching

Deachwita means a music ( traditional) that played when king is coming - like praising the king I think he is fighting against his past self in detail gangster yoongi is present self And king is the pastself

Why is none talking about the sword 🗡 dance he did. It’s amazing 🤩!!!

Like every great historical K Drama the lead is never really dead. As a former art teacher I think this is a masterpiece of music, lyrics, color and design. The small and large details rival many big budget movie productions.

The best part of this video is you, Dylan. You look so happy and proud of Suga’s work.

Dylan @ 2:53: "reign in the fanboy" 😂😂 Also 5:52 "What does that word mean?" (Dylan losing to the fanboy urges) 👌 Btw, Daechwita is a form of traditional Korean military music. I'm not sure if you heard about it but the director for this mv was thinking of a really simple music video but Yoongi said "Nope, I'm thinking of a more traditional Korean setting" (which was an amazing choice) I absolutely LOVED this reaction!! I think I said this in my last comment but I'm a photographer and aspire to be a videographer as well so hearing all of your input and seeing other people get just as excited over transitions, color schemes, composition, etc. makes me so happy. I learn a lot from your videos and always look forward to more of these being posted. Please continue with more! If y'all are interested, you should react to the behind the scenes filming of this MV! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gb2CfZt0uqjXiH0.html For another mv to react to, I suggest Euphoria. I know it's one of the short films so it would be a longer reaction but I really love the way they filmed it and think y'all might as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob5gqbJl29KupYk.html

I remember reading some of the crew from the show Kingdom on Netflix was part of this MV shoot. if you even watch clips of Kingdom you notice the similarities.

I would like to see another reaction just from Jordan, after he has watched one or two explanation videos for Daechwita, so that he gets a lot of the cultural references. Then come back to us with the cinematography + the cultural + the psychological interplay in this story. Thank you, if you do that. Daechwita is a music form that supports the movement of a king from here to there. It is basically an aural setting for the progress of a king. You can see how "daechwita" repeated in the lyrics here, and used to shape the concept of this video, shows the progress of a king. We have the classic conqueror King, the one who is all dressed up and inhabiting his historical role, and then we have the real, live King, who is experienced at a street level, and humble and hard-working and yet rises above the level of the historical King. And the latter kills the former... the real man kills his overweening ego... this is the spiritual and psychological progress of a real king. Min Yoongi / Suga / Agust D trained with an actual heavy sword. Despite the fact that he had a shoulder injury as a result of a car accident prior to joining BTS. He just had shoulder surgery for that injury last month, and had been away from BTS for a few weeks for the full rest he needed to start his recovery and rehab. He rejoined BTS just a couple of days ago, to celebrate their win debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for their new track Life Goes On. It was one of Yoongi's stated wishes that a Korean lyrics song reach the Billboard Hot 100. "What Yoongi wants Yoongi gets" trended on Twitter for a while. This wish was the third of his wishes that was fulfilled in 2020. The first was any song on the Billboard Hot 100. The second was a Grammy nomination. And the third was a Korean lyrics song on the Billboard Hot 100. (There are videos of actual Daechwita performances. Some of the music in this video is actually from traditional instruments and from real Daechwita music.)

Hey Dylan (and crew), you can definitely watch it more than once or twice and we would still enjoy it. They missed so much like Yoongi's flow in the fire shot because they were discussing how it was shot and the lyrics, it's not possible to take it all in on first viewing. Maybe watch it all the way through once, then second time pause and discuss. Other reactors do videos twice, some do lyric vid and MV together, just a thought! Love ya!

When the writing and drawing of Mr. Bang came My mind: 'Ayo Hitman Bang is at my side' Suga said.

Fun fact: there’s no cgi in this. Suga personally wanted a grand mv for this song

The same people that worked on "Kingdom" are responsible for the cinematography

The mv was directed by Yong Seok Choi (Lumpens)

I guess you haven't seen "Kingdom" yet... Top kdrama with Zombies. It is said that those people worked on this video too

Guy in cap "I could watch this without saying a word....." *flies over Dylan's head as he launches into another tirade*

The level of talent coming out of South Korea is on another level! I've been watching since 2019 and it blows me away!

Yoongi is a genius and EVERYTHING comes from him! No CGI

Yoongi created this music video and song from the ground himself. He's a perfectionist and it shows .

Every time I watch that MV I get chills and full body goosebumps. I listen to this song all the time and I absolutely LOVE this. Brain cannot compute with all the BOSS and KING energy.

so this is a very rough explanation but daechwita is like korean military music usually I think to announce the king's arrival or something along those lines. And yes! there is a behind the scenes video you should watch!

Jesus. Dylan, I know you’re excited but... yelling throughout the whole thing makes people miss out on a lot. Let them take it in, then geek out, maybe? If people can let themselves get pulled into the video it’s a bigger takeaway

What about “shadow”, that’s really good to.

FRICKKK YAAA BABY LETS GET IT, i love thisss mv, especially the rap towards the end where he’s like all smooth there, and not saying all of it is smooth it’s FIRE ALL TOGETHER 💜💜💜💜 hope you doing good dylan stay safe

Yoongi produced this video, had total input into everything that was done

GOOD JOB Dylan!! I love when people are always in shock when they see suga. Hey, you nice, keep going!👍

You should watch this again without talking. You are missing a lot . You need to watch this uninterrupted. If you learn the historical perspective it will mean even more.

I have watched many reactions to this but y’all’s is the best! It makes me feel like you really appreciate the genius that is Min Yoongi (Suga, AgusD).

I love it when I see people losing their minds over BTS like I do because some people still don’t get it. Yoongi once said something along the line of people would like our music if they didn’t know it’s made by BTS. Their work, whether it’s music, mv, stage design, choreography, performances, visuals, variety shows and even their merch are top-notch to a point it’s inspiring! It inspires you to be better at your own craft! Bottom line: BTS is AMAZING! They’re not just a hype.

I feel like as a Yoongi stan, you didnt watch the behind the scenes of daechwita...but hey you do you...for views. ✌

Remember when yoongi told us that before filming he drank whiskey at the toilet just so he could act freely, he is such a good actor PERIOD

Okay, guys, this is one of the most enjoyable reactions I have ever seen. Three people who really know what they're doing, reacting to something that one of them loves, that all three can read properly. It was exciting and informative and I want to see more stuff like that, please. Thank you. So much. It made my morning. 💜💯💜 And it reminded me why I subscribed to Dylan's channel.

yes there is a behind the scenes of this mv, no green screen nor fake fire. the video is shot at gyeongbokgung palace in seoul, korea.

0:25 when you don´t know what`s coming your way.... the BTS school bus... Jin`s driving of course!

Like how can you not be amazed by Yoongi’s skills🤩🤩He shall always be the king👑I am so glad you reacted to this, how about you have them react to the D-2 album😊

I’m pretty sure Dylan watched this MV many times but because Yoongi is his bias..you can’t blame him if he’s always excited everytime he watched this specially when his friends around😂😂. You’re friend can’t concentrate coz u talked too much hahaha. I feel you Dylan.

I absolutely love the geeking out section of this reaction video. The gears, the techniques, angles, lightings, story boardings, etc. Not a lot of those on KZfaq except by a handful of people.

Yes, Yoongi sat at the producing table with the director. I remember him saying the director wanted something somewhat historical and Yoongi was like "I want the whole thing, I want the palace, I want to go all in." What was the budget? Yes.

This is about his inner conflict between his real self and his mad power hungry ego, and trying not to be changed by his fame and success. So he has to kill his ego before it can kill the real Yoongi. Although he has said of the ending. “Maybe I missed” which is why you see the shot but not the king dying. But it is also about the conflict between old and new. Old represented by the king in traditional clothes in the actual historic palace where the kings used to rule Korea, and new represented by Yoongi in modern clothes, riding in a car in the middle of a historical setting. Bringing a new way of thinking and a new way of doing things to an old and outdated way of being. I recommend you react to BTS Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, On official MV, or Black Swan for cinematography. Or ONEUS Please Come Back Home. That video has awesome storytelling. PS. I forgot to mention how on Yoongi the king his cut on this eye is fresh and on modern Yoongi it has already healed and formed a scar.

Was rooting for Dylan to control himself from the beginning especially when that chorus comes up. 😅💜 Love the reactions, just make sure to pause when you talk. we dont mind watching longer videos as long as you get to experience every bit of the vids coz we all know.. it's all in the details with BTS. 💜

Do it. I love the commentaries. I always watch once way thru and then go all in on details. That’s bangtan music

Real fire. Dylan you need to go prepare to these meetings, I know you're excited but they asked you a few questions you couldn't answer, you're the expert you've been and ARMY for a minute. Great reaction, check out bangtan tv for the behind the scenes or making of

Honestly, this felt like the reaction this MV deserved.

I am literally vibing with them as a 32 year old woman who lived off TRL and watching the MV countdowns. Love these reactions. I know everyone has given so much input!

A couple of notes that you may have missed - symbolism. In the opening (before the marketplace), there are 6 guys behind Suga as he sings. They represent his 6 BTS members - his gang. Later, when he enters a house/room and picks up the car keys, you will notice 6 males (representing his BTS members) and 1 female. She represents ARMY.

Yoongi said that they filmed that in low budget Like what!!!

In my opinion, this is the BEST VIDEO of the year. No other video comes close to the production values, story concept of this video. The whole video is stunning but my favorite scene is the opening set up scene. Where the KING is over looking his courtyard of headless bodies, with boxes, perfectly displayed next to them. This opening scene, sets up the whole video. The King Takes Heads as his trophies. It's a great set up scene. It could be a story of EGO but I see the story as two brothers who were separated at birth. One a king and one a peasant. The King rules with iron fist as he stands on the backs of his people, declares he is KING & hang heads from the balcony. The peasant lives in the village, where he has his friends and followers, even the man who cuts meat with the long blade. When the peasant takes the keys, I see it as symbolism that he is coming for the Kingdom. The peasant kicks up a lot a dust, he makes a lot of claims but the King gives him the thumbs down and imprisones the peasant. He stands in the middle of the urns filled with fire, making his case to to be king. The henchman brings the peasant in front of the king for execution. You hear the peasant rap Daechwita! Daechwita! Play it Loud, Daechwita! as you see the villagers in the courtyard bobbin' their heads to the pleas of the peasant. Play the music loud for the KING. You start to feel that he (the peasant) is the chosen one. The king gives the signal, off with his head as the henchman does a ceremonial dance as he spit water over his blade. We feel the tension as we see the body drop to the ground and then a sense of relief when we realize the henchman cut his ropes. We recognize that the henchman was the meat cutter from the village. He hands the peasant a Smith & Wesson. The peasant walks forward towards the steps of the kingdom, looks up and shoots the King. (My take on Daechwita)

Yessssss. Loved it!!! This is the freaking be Agust D MV ever. So many others have explained jt so ill skip it.. I think they would also really like Spring Day because it has a story and the color scheme. I would like it if they watched it once then yall play it again nd they pick stuff out. I feel like that me be more organized.

🤯yewww 🇦🇺 here for this reaction !!! Great reactions guys!!!! #armys #btsarmy we need to give them more reactions !

just a tip: dont speak during the video playing, you can pause it if you want because you might miss out the lit part.... just saying

11:32 the way you two synchronously looked at Dylan right after the MV ended tho

This was such a nice reaction. I subscribed to Jordan and your other channel. I am pretty interested in videography and it was just so so so nice to see how happy and amazed all of you were. Thanks for this and I am really looking forward to the GCF video you guys are going to do :)

I love your guys reaction. Thank you. We; Army, is so proud of our Yoongi and Big Hit team.

I recommend you guys to watch behind the scenes too with official M/Vs

Dylan trying to keep his calm and not fanboy is the biggest mood ever

Happy birthday to you kim seok jin💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Its been ages since I last visited your channel and let me tell you HOW MUCH I WANTED TO CRY WHEN I SAW THE SAME OLD INTRO! 😭❤❤

So tonight this video showed up in my feed... really glad, too, I enjoyed y’all’s reaction and the insider knowledge of your guest! 😁💜

this was shot on the sets of k-period dramas, so epic

Bro the thing about the LED wall with the fire shot makes SO MUCH SENSE but that was NOT something I even thought of. That's SO COOL! I'm glad I learned something. Supercool.

You should react to ON(kinetic manifesto film) and BLACK SWAN💜

This was so fun, please keep letting them see everything in the BTS bag. Thanks for 14:28 of smiling.

Dudeeee u need to invite this guy in the middle more often. The way his own passion for the work he does gets portrayed through the appreciation he has for the effort put in by BTS 👌 is top notch

LOL The place they filmed is a real location of like the traditional countryside of South Korea and he is wearing actual traditional garments of that dynasty (during that era).

Great Reaction. Great Insights into the cinematography of the Music Video.

I just wanna nerd out here. So the one who is behind in this video is LUMPENS (Nickname of the Director and the Company). Lumpens has been with BTS for sooooooo long now. He is the genius behind the storytelling of BTS Universe. He is known to be the "weird one" of the filming industry for being the most out of the box thinker and AMAZING storyteller and provides just EXQUISITE visual and auditory package in his works. Please react to some other MVs like Fake Love and/or the BU storyline. Because I'm sure you'll see the genius behind BTSs MVs as well.

Dylan you're awesome :) Thanks guys

I really love this...but...could you please pause the mv when you talk? Even if you go back, talking over the mv is really distracting. I loved hearing his thoughts and the process.

The whole act of Dylan almost screaming and fangirling and spitting all the things he knows and thinks and admire about Agust D, it's me in my mind every time I show this mv to my friends as "my ultimate fav mv" I literally obligate myself to keep quiet and let them amaze for this masterpiece and the genius that is obviously my bias Yoongi 💜 I love music and I still don't get it when people doesn't see far from the label of kpop and dismissed the work of the artist without even watch it, maybe that's why I always try to tell why I admire about bts, every member is so good and try so hard to add more to the group, and return some of the love they get from army, that's so great.

KING MIN SUGA,he came from MIN dynasty,MIN SUGA can be king,but there is no thone to sit down,but MIN SUGA their family accept him as one can be a king for MIN family.🙏🙏🙏🙏

HIS reaction is Everything I've wanted in a reaction!!

What yoongi wants, yoongi gets it!!! 😍😍😍😍

This video was wholesome. Love it.

i went and subscribed yall were so conviencing lol

All their MVs are so high end production wise you can really see where the company spends the money. So for this as its a solo not sure if he used BH for the production of the MV or not. Its not a Samurai Sword they are Korean lol. Not sure if they have reacted to it yet but Fake Love and also Save Me so they see two completely different approaches to the MVs also they both have behind the scenes vids.

I love your videos❤️

There's a whole behind the scenes. I wish you would look to see if there is a behind the scenes before asking them to do this, then watching the behind the scenes afterwards and have a double reaction in one video. It answers a ton of questions they had. Of course, had you watched the behind the scenes, you could have answered them, too.

😂Lol is not CGI is actually real because the area has been shot by many actors who played as the king. While filming Suga was a bit drunk when filming. He drank a little bit but like he can handle it when it comes to drinking lol🤣. He said this by the way no one dare to say to him to stop because they are scared of him. Jhope and Jimin also give him some support. Jhope even bought him coffee and churros. All the members also support yoongi with the dinner. This goes to every member when they do a MV by themselves they had help and support from the other members like Jin who bought food for RM and for the staff and V help RM when making Persona by recording with his phone to show how he did. Also goes to everyone that supported each other even when they are working alone is really sweet for all of them to do that. They weren't joking when saying that they like to work together.

I am learning a lot and i mean a lot with you guys and i am going to follow you guys, because i am learning all this awesome stuff about cinematography and of course my bias yoongi and BTS, is a must :)

Whenever you guys watch there music videos you can always watch the behind the sences of the music videos on bangtan tv....bts always make sure to show how they do there things

Subbed to Jordan...looking for good editor breakdowns. and it’s.a real place.
