6:47 Agust D once said, "I have never targeted or attacted anyone specifically. If someone felt they were targeted, then that's just their own problem."

Congratulations! You're one of the few who got the gist of his message on first guess. Yes. Suga is playing 2 characters of himself. When he started BTS he wanted to be a king with power and fame and clothes and cars and all the luxury he could acquire. But then he realized his most valuable commodity was his time. Paraphrasing. He just wanted to put his feet back on the ground and live life without all the stuff. There is no CGI in this video. It was filmed on location. It's all real. And yes. Suga is a genius. He created the concept, wrote the song, produced it, hired the perfect director, with the perfect cinematographer and perfect art direction. It's the Most Beautiful MV I've ever seen. I have no idea why it wasn't nominated for anything. It's Stunningly Exquisite to look at. The next in the trilogy. Haegum. Hay gum. 2 characters again which I know you would have figured out right away...so it's not a spoiler for you. I do know you could have gone into more depth. Do it. It's your channel. Your POV. Your passion. If it's too long for others, they can turn it off. Check out the reactor, Roscoe. He goes into Deep Dives in interpreting the meaning and the visuals. He is a director by profession. His reactions are long and involved. So. Do You. Indulge us with your expertise! Again. Bravo on your interpretation.

Nobody asked for this, but I'm inspired tonight. The way I see it, the peasant storyline follows the real life story of Yoongi -- he's a nobody with ridiculous talent. He joins BTS. (This is actually the first time I realized the Jin/JK fight scene represents when BTS came together and the fights they had as a young group). When he takes the keys, BTS debuts. The underground haters mock them, but at the same time notice that the character is starting to prosper? When he rolls up on the king, he represents BTS rising success and international success. The detained version of himself is after BTS became a global phenomenon; he feels trapped by the fame. I've always seen the king as a metaphor for: 1) the rap/hiphop haters (ARMY is the executioner in this one!) 2) SUGA - as part of BTS, suga is king of everything, but AGUST D is inside him and evolving the persona of suga 3) Ego - a cautionary tale from come-up Yoongi to World Star. Don't lose yourself to ego and become mindless with money and power. Okay and a final thing I want to add is about the word daechwita. People look it up and they're like, oh it's military music or played for royal processions. It's a HERALD. It announces a motherfucker is coming. ***Imagine the scene in Aladdin where Ali rides into the city (but, like, military and Korean and seeeerious)*** He's fucking heralding himself. There's more, but this is already too much. It's one of my favorite songs. I read that it's not autobiographical, and is a reflection of struggles common in their industry and I can see that. I just see autobiography, too. 😊 My ADHD is ON tonight. Sheesh.

As Army, (BTS fans) we love genuine reactions to our boys. We don't mind the pausing. Anyone genuinely interested is welcome. 52 and loving my guys for over 2 years now. So talented.

Fun fact: Jin and JK have a small cameo in this video in the market at the beginning, they’re the two fighting.

Suga/AgustD/Min Yoongi of BTS 1st Rapper to sell 1M copies of an album on Day 1 of release! -1st Rapper to have multiple albums w 100 #1's on iTunes worldwide! -Rapper w most songs w 100 #1's on iTunes worldwide! -1st Rapper to earn $3M+ in a single US arena concert

Agust D aka Suga aka Yoongi wrote, produced the music and conceptualized the storyboard for the trilogy's mvs. He indeed fights against himself (the angry powermonger self which he embodied in the title song "Agust D" from his previous album) Can't wait for the next! Thank you for reacting, and don't hesitate to pause - ARMY like long videos. :D

OMG OMG OMG TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for you to get into these videos. I honestly feel like each video manages to outdo the last one. It's a powerful trilogy, honestly. Can't wait to see the next two!!

Captain sparks is spoiling us today! Cannot wait to see what you think of the first part of the Agust D triology!

There a Bangtan Bomb on the official BTS channel (BangtanTV) where Yoongi gives an overview about the inspiration behind the song, how he came up with the concept for the MV and some other details about the making of this MV. If you want to see more. - either the D-2 mixtape interview or the MV shooting sketch, depending on which angle of detail you're looking more.

the trilogy in order: Daechwita , Haegeum and Amygdala. The most aggressive or bad one is the alter ego (Agust d) if they are like two personalities.Agust d backwards is Suga, TD is where he was born and the first rap group he belonged to .

Big hug from army Indonesia... I purple 💜 u

Yoongi says that he sets traps in his music. If you fall into one (if you get offended or feel attacked) then it was for you. It's not about anyone specifically, but for those who fit the description and choose to take it personally, he invites them to do so. LOL The one exception to this is in Cypher Pt 2 when he says to quit rapping and take a vacation and "go to Hawaii, go home" which is a direct reference to a Rapper name BFree who was from Hawaii and was relentlessly awful to BTS, dissing them to their faces. Yes, two aspects of self. The trilogy is a story of his mental health journey with his traumas and he plays dual roles in each one, a "good" aspect and a "bad" aspect. The scar represents his trauma and the "good" aspects are more healed versions of himself with a more healed scar, while the "bad" aspects represent more damaged and struggling aspects of himself. He is "killing" the older and less healthy versions of himself and moving on. In this MV it's his rage, paranoia and isolation he is symbolically destroying. The Mad King with the blonde hair like Yoongi from his early years in BTS is alone, paranoid, taking heads, wrathful. The Peasant Agust D is no longer alone but with his 6 brothers behind him (not the BTS members themselves, but representative of them) and one woman representing ARMY. He is more confident, happier, more grounded. In the end, he shoots the Mad King with a Colt ARMY model revolver, representing the strength he found in ARMY. Note that Peasant Agust D exchanges a couple of looks and gestures with the street butcher in the beginning of the MV, who is the same person as the executioner at the end of the MV. Also the two guys who get into a scrap behind him on the street in the beginning are members of BTS making a cameo appearance. Jin in the false beard and Jungkook. Also, Agust is pronounced like the month of August. Agust D is DT Suga backwards - which is Daegu Town Suga. Daegu is his hometown and also Daegu Town Crew was his original underground rap crew. He went by Gloss as an underground rapper, which is a play on his name, Yoongi, which means "bright/glossy/pearly/shiny" because he is so pale and was even as a newborn. Suga is short for Shooting Guard, his favorite basketball posiition to play. Fun Fact: Yoongi is the first ever NBA Global Ambassador. A fact he finds amusing. He said "Why is the NBA calling me? Aren't they more famous than me?" LOL He can often be seen courtside for games whenever he gets the chance (before he went into his military service.)

Waaaa I’m so glad this popped up in my feed! It’s been a while since I’ve watched a Dae reaction but of course Yoongi is good anytime anywhere. Thank you for sharing and reacting so thoughtfully to this! 💜🙌🏻

BTS usually have behind the scenes videos on their production and shooting. You will find a lot of info in those videos. And you will find that BTS uses very little cgi. Their work is pretty phenomenal. Most people go into BTS thinking one way, and are amazed at what they find, and do a complete 180. Enjoy! And thank you for reactions to these mvs!

Love your videographer POV - really adds something to my experience of a video I've probably seen 100s of times! And don't pay any attention to those who say you should do your videos a different way - you do you! Suga/Agust D is amazing - think you're really going to enjoy the other two videos in the trilogy.

It’s pronounced August D. 😉It’s Suga reversed plus DT for Daegu Town which is his hometown in South Korea. Daechwita means “great blow” in Korean and is a form of martial music played when the king is on procession. It’s also a play on words for Big Hit, the entertainment company that is home to BTS. The rappers love their word play. 💜

A couple of things that you might not have picked up on. When the king is in the courtyard, before they start slaying people, those are a bunch of people bowing down and he literally stands on one of them. The king is power-mad and Yoongi has spoken about how greedy he was in the beginning of their time as BTS. Yoongi doesn't want to be like that anymore, so slum-Yoongi gets rid of the mad king.

Glad I came to watch, the video was so amazing as many of them are and it was really nice to see Anna, Chay and Tal get so into it. Thanks Joe E, have a great day!

Awwwww, you did the trilogy! Thanks for that!

Proud seeing my fellow Americans appreciating and enjoying different cultures. Love from California - subscribed

When i became army i was obsessed with this mv, legendary

Here for you.

in this song there is a cameo of 2 bts members at the beginning fighting behind Suga in the market lol

Out of all the request I have suggested, Suga aka Agust Ds Trilogy is the one I've wanted to see the most (BTS ON mv and ON Kinetic Manifesto Film are close 2nd and 3rd lol). Not just for his lyricism, hidden messages/storylines within the video itself or dope beats. But simply for its videography and cinematography alone. I really wanted to see you reaction to it all and so far, you didn't disappoint (not that you ever do lol). Looking forward to the next one! 💜💜💜

The back up dancers are not his BTS members, but there are two acted in this, briefly, in the beginning scene in the street market. This is a popular real set that is used in many K-Drama's. Suga insisted on going all out on this music video, and he does the story boards, or is at least majorly involved in them. It was his idea to do the fake scar, and that scene with him raising his head and seeing his face under the hat. Day-chi-ta is how you pronounce it. no W sound. Very little CGI is used in this scene. Only at the end when he kills the king. 14:39 timestamp on this video, if you check it out, you will see JIN and JK of BTS, with the arm bump, and the minor fight scene. Jin has a fake moustache on. It's funny. There is a behind the scenes for this and for each of the three trilogy MV's. I'll link those for you.

Watch the behind the scenes of this and you will understand how they do it. 😊 This is part of his trilogy songs That's the first 1 then heugum then amygdala

Thanks for reacting to Agust D Daechwita. 🤩. When you get a chance, would love to see your reaction to "IU-Love Wins All".

Loved the reached. This is one of may favorite mv, and thank you for adding your expertise. Impressed. When you asked if the man following August D was BTS, it is not. Two members did have a cameo, the guys fighting. I usually go by, if you can't see their face it is not BTS, unless wearing mask for part of choreo. This is also true in live performance, they all get camera time. Also, they may show be in other mv and not show face. They like to give little gems to Army. Thanks. Looking forward to checking out more reactions. Blessings

Amazing! Haegeum by Agust D is equally good. Can’t wait!! He wrote, produced, made the beats and conceptualized all these videos and storylines alone basically as a mixtape, no professional studio by himself on his laptop. He got a huge budget for music videos that he conceptualized because he’s one of seven (BTS) most best-selling artists in the world for years. He has credibility.

An extra tip. The person who suga bumps into is jin and jin turns and fights jungkook. (Jin and Jungkook are other members of Bts)

Honestly, you could do an hour breakdown and I'd still watch it. I enjoy the different perspectives on such masterpieces.

Agust D is pronounced "August Dee"... just like the month. It's a combination of his stage name in BTS, SUGA (Shoe-gah) which is from his favorite position to play in basketball (SHOOting GAurd), with DT, which stands for "Daegu Town" (Day-goo). Daegu is the city he is from and Daegu Town was the name of his underground rap crew before he joined BTS... so... SUGA backwards + Dt... AGUST D.

I’ve watched so many reactions of this video, I can’t even count, but I appreciate each individual reaction and perspective and yours was stellar 👌🏽, thank you for this and I’m looking forward to future reactions 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Army Love! 🙋🏽‍♀️🤗😍💜✌️🙏

I love your thoughtful reactions...we do not care how long the video is

Thanks for the K-pop reaction!❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍🅾️🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

yes this part of a trilogy and each one he killing off parts of his persona

Finally! Yes! Let’s go. Ahhgust D. Hope that helps. 💜

Aw man, no hatin' here. I knew you would love this one visually and audibly.

Oooooo I can't wait to see the rest of the trilogy reactions!!! 😊

Bookish Theories has an awesome explanation video for this song/music video if you are interested in uncovering the hidden symbolism in the video. Agust D has also said of the ending, “I don’t know. Maybe I missed.” Not showing the king’s dead body was intentional. As if the mad power hungry king is a part of himself that he tried to get rid of but couldn’t. (At least at this point of his life)

You have to see the live version but not the concert, There is one with the musicians and you can see the instruments

14:11 are the king traitor, they are exchanged glances. The butcher is also the executioner. This happen again in the next mv Haegeum. He also exchanged glances with his spy.

Ooh as you are a videographer I'd suggest also watching the behind the scenes to this and coming BTS music videos you might watch!

Do you know that there is a behind the scenes “making of” for this MV? You might enjoy that as a videographer. In fact, there is a making of video for every one of BTS’s MVs.

Pronounce Deachwita with a more silent w and you got it.💜 The trilogy explains the scar. Pronounce Agust D just like the month. Then, if you want to know about that, he explains his his name to Jimmy Fallon on the tonight show.

I saw a color theory analysis of this video where the mad king represents 'evil' or badness or whatever and is encapsulated hy green, and his counterpart is shown with brighter colors often red like the meat in the beginning of the video but the final scene casts him in partial green silhouette to show that he perhaps had to take on some evil to defeat the old. I really like that but i dont know how accurate it was 😅

YESS!!! I waiting for others😍

SUGA jest de best😊

There is a 'behind the scenes' video for this you might enjoy.

I enjoyed watching your reaction SO much! And I learned something!

Thank you for the reaction. He is an amazing artist!!! I can't wait for you to react to the rest!!! BTS7💜💜💜

all of the background places are real there isnt no CGI in this i wanted to answer that for ya.

Daechwita is the music to announce the entrance of the army or of the king. Poor rebel Suga uses his beat to raise the prostrate people. He kills the abusive mad king Suga( who represents the corrupt abusive industry old guard) Daechwita: challenges professional barriers. Haegeum : challenging societal issues. Poor street thug Suga and corrupt cop Suga Amygdala. Personal challenges and trauma and barriers. Confronting traumatic past memories and present day Suga

Now react to Exo's Lay's mv "Lit".....the krump master himself....spent $1.5 million of his own money for this song. He has his own production company and his own label. He is Chinese and has a successful solo career in China, and is still a member of Exo. He will feature bright Chinese artists through his label, as in his video "DNA Cypher". You should check him out, as a main dancer in Exo, he is a very good choreographer, as in his dance practice "Flying Apsaras".....very good video. 💙🌺

Honestly missed your bts stuff. Keep going 👍💜

I was sooo waiting for you to react them.. 💜💜💜💜

You watched my favorite movie. Agust D is said like the month. [desh-it-a] The actor startes the filming from the exact copy of his great(-great) grandmother's throne in the exact copy of one of the royal palaces - in a historical drama set. ;D

I so knew you'd love this mv. It's plain and simply a masterpiece of a video. 💜🎶

A gust🥰💜

I love hearing your breakdowns of the videography. You always keep it interesting and point out things I've not noticed before.

I think you can interpret in different ways, perspectives and levels. It can be both about inner conflicts, criticism of the system, industry etc.

So crazy (amazingly beautiful) how much you have come to love their music but until recently. Hopefully I did not miss it, but I think having a great background info for the group and members, the guide to BTS, the Bangtan 7 documentary. Love to watch you react too it. 💜

Agust-D - Pronounced like the month August.

This was great; happy you enjoyed it! Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy. Thank you!!

Ooh, if you're really interested in what he was saying you should check out an explanation video for all the crazy Korean history references. I like the DKDKTV one but Bookish Theories also has one. This track kinda goes with the BTS track Shadow - Agust D is Suga's shadow/dark side and the Trilogy is Yoongi working towards integrating the competing sides of himself to achieve self-actualisation. They were on a whole Carl Jung thing in 2020 👍🏽🖤💜

Omg please react to DPR Ian. He has major bipolar disorder and DID (multiple personality disorder) he showcases it in all his video. He films, produces, edits, writes, composes etc. would love to see your reactions to it. It all starts with so beautiful mv. He is Mito in that video, one of his alters.

💜💜💜

OMGGGG I can't wait till you get into BTS after this. The WINGS SHORT FILMS is a must and a bible for all videographers out there.

Thank you so much for this reaction! To answer a couple of questions, his name is pronounced like August. It's SUGA and DT for his hometown (Daegu town) all backward. Also, those were not the other BTS members as his "gang," however, the two guys that get in a fight in the street scene are members Jin and Jungkook! In my opinion, and the way I interpret the characters he plays, is that the king represents the haters and jealous artists that are consistently bombarding him and BTS with negative comments and nasty rumors, trying to bring them down and belittle their success. The commoner character represents SUGA himself and could also represent BTS. In the end, the haters are destroyed. I could be off-base, but that's my take. Regardless, the MV is epic, and i never tire of watching it! Oh, BTW, Daechwita is a loud drum rhythm that is played specifically when the king enters. Think, "Hail to the Chief." Thanks again for your thoughts on BTS vids. I thoroughly enjoy them! 💜

Too much swag for a monk😂😂😂 Nailed the personalities. We know this bc there are “ making of” content where Suga talks about the ideas. Originally the video person had a very basic idea for the video and Suga said, well this is my idea!

Loved your reaction and your perspective on the mv. Looking forward to the next ones.

Your reaction is appreciated, try to see the videos behind the scenes, greetings from Chile🇨🇱👏👏🫰🫶💜💜

You will love this song. It's a nostalgic song that includes homages from legendary rappers from America from the 80s to the 2000s. I hope you listen to it once. You'll see how high BTS has a heart for hip hop. If you enter this address, you can see the video with the lyrics.

Good job! Thanks! 💜

2 BTS members fighting in the background

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

🔥👑💜

Not my bag, but I'll join you all regardless, who knows I may be converted 😉.

I never liked rap until I found BTS.

Maybe check the explanation video?, which is very interesting, and you could find a lot of symbolism that is lost to non Korean eyes 100% recommended

Hi Joe E, here's the EXPLAINED Video to completely understand this MV: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMepeNee3r66oKM.html

Hello there, might you wanna check out GENTO MV by PPOP ( Filipino Pop Music) SB19. its a Bop song. Thank you & have a great day ❤️👍🇵🇭

Pronounced like the month of August

Pronounced like the month August

Chod-i o to że kiedyś nie miał pieniędzy i mieszkał w przyczepie dlatego w teledysku jest przyczepa reszta prosta sprawa on ma teraz kasę a zazdrośni raperzy z którymi był kiedyś go teraz atakują że nie umi rapować szybko jak RM

We don't hate you for mispronouncing. anything. Geez. It's another language. NO one. I repeat NO knew how to pronounce it on first sight. A helpful note. Don't look at the spelling to pronounce it. The W is silent. Phonetically. Didge. uh. taw. Actually the Korean pronunciation is more Ditch. Cha. Tah. You can always go on google to ask. And several comments below have already explained Agust D is pronounced August Dee. So. Be nice to yourself. It's ok.
