I feel like the black haired one is the part of himself from the past when he was a poor kid from Daegu. The long haired version is the current one that is surrounded by fame and money. At the end, the long haired one wanted to get rid of the old past self but when he tried he couldn't come to killing his old self and the old self kills his current large ego version.
It is just that the Yoongi in the past (old self) lives in the future (currently in time) and the Yoongi in future (the King) lives in the past. The setting somehow has been exchanged and does not go parallel with the true values in each existing original setting.
I think he's showing that he won't allow the crazed king of fame & power to kill the street rat that is the 윤 기 himself. Kind of like Shadow. I like your take on it!!
My theory: King- Famous Yoongi Other yoongi- Past Yoongi When the other Yoongi went to shoot the king(famous yoongi), he’s trying to say that he wants to stay as his past self. He doesn’t want fame to kinda like change him, I guess. Like in his Interlude: Shadow song, he talked about how fame changed him and he wants to be his true self again. So when he shoots the king(Famous Yoongi/Recent Yoongi), he’s trying to say he wants to get rid of that and be himself. I think his message is that he has all this stuff like cars, big house, etc and that won’t change him. He will still be himself. EDIT: 800 likes?! Sjsjksn TY ARMYY and to those who agree with my theory.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6aTwExchm5E.html Look at this movie ("Gwanghae") reaction. The basic story follows the movie "Gwanghae"
I was told that in Korea if you have a scar you can't be king, but min yoongi broke that stereotype and became king with a scar on his face. *i stan a king.*
My theory: Agust D 1 (white hair) is fighting with Agust D 2 (black hair) And in the end Yoongi kills his past self - meaning he moved on from the problems he talked about in the first album
I heard someone say that in the last he said 'min yoongi is dead, i killed him' som maybe the two are Agust D and Suga. Maybe he wants to say that he doesn't need different egos anymore, because he now knows that they are all part of him and thats why he killed 'himself'.(kinda relating to MOTS 7). Idk, i just read a comment about this somewhere
I feel like the ’peasant’ suga was on his way to kill ‘king’ suga. The king representing what he could be in the future (big headed, etc) and the peasant suga is trying to stop that and in doing so he wouldn’t be so ignorant and careless, hope that makes sense :))
I feel that Yoongi is saying that even though he does have all this money and expensive stuff and attention he won’t change just because of that and that he will always stay truthful to himself.
9:12 omg you are right. the mv behind the scene is out today and yoongi explained that the king was the past agust d who's full of anger and became like the mad king and the new agust d is there to stop him.. he also explained that the one who was walking at the market was the new agust d and he made eye contact with the butcher that time foreshadowing the plan at the end and yes basically the one tasked to behead him (the butcher) was a traitor to the mad king
In Korea, you can't be a king with a scar on your body and yoongi aka Agust D just broke that stereotype. Also, his Agust d persona has heavy "Scarface" movie influence (also explains the scar on his face). Tony Montana (also a track from his previous agust d album) is the protagonist in the movie, he's also literally from rags to riches. Also how the greed consumed him and such. YOONGI IS SUCH A GENIUS ARTIST Edit: Apparently, it's the other way around. The woman marrying a king shouldn't have a scar on his body. I was thinking of the protagonist guy in SCARLETHEART RYEO who has a big scar on his face similar to yoongi in the mv and the only way he could show his bare face in public was by putting on make up or concealer which is done by IU's character. My comment was based on that thought process lol. That's for the input btw!
from what i know it is ok to be a king with a scar because they go to battle field and it’s inevitable for the king not to get scarred. however it is different for a woman, to be a queen, they shouldnt have any scar bc a scar represents a lowlife.
Thats not true actually if u ask Koreans they don't know what that's abt I thought it was from a kdrama script lmao but don't spread around things that are misinformation
mehmeh lol from what I know a Prince should not have any scars as they are the face of the future nation but when he ascends the throne any scars thereafter would be see as battle scars
I still think that the scar on his face represents the movie "Scarface" that starred Tony Montana (Yoongi and Jimin performed a song named Tony Montana together, where Yoongi states that he feels like Tony Montana, who in the movie, was this man with power and money and as his power grew so did his arrogance and pride/ego) that makes the most sense to me. Ruler D being shot by Peasant D (which are both parts of Agust D) is a metaphor to represent Peasant D putting an end to his shadow, who had malice in his anger. UGH! might be the continuation of the gun shot at the end where the main message is "extinguish anger full of malice".
I'm here from twitter wherein I read a k-army's interpretation and take on this one: people who had deformed face or had scars and marks on their face wouldn't be considered higher class, let alone an emperor. Same with blonde hair. Yoongi single handedly reversed the stereotype, stating that "I'm here despite all the flaws you picked on me". Another take they had was that in 2016 Agust D had a seperate identity from the 'idol' Suga. After Map Of The Soul: Persona, D-2's Daechwita had the correct motive to end the old Agust D as Min Yoongi shot him because he had accepted himself and that he doesn't need to hide behind his persona. Remember what Namjoon rapped in Intro: Persona ("persona, who the hell am I?") To which Yoongi rapped in Interlude: Shadow ("you are me, I am you, now do you understand?") as a reply. We saw Love Yourself trilogy connect, it's interesting to see Persona, Shadow and Ego themes connect too. BTS has taken Carl Jung's theory to another level. EDIT: it's interpretation from a k-army don't @ me. Since they're Korean and know their own language better, I'm just putting down their thoughts based on what they interpreted.
I wouldn't say his killing his shadow, but his inflated persona who tried to kill his shadow. Think about Jung theory, according to it your self is a mixture of your ego and shadow, being the persona the expation of the ego and your inner world a reflaction of your shadow. Normally when someone's kill the king they become the next king, represanting the unification of these two sides. Also Jung talks about archetypes and one of them is the king, a representation of the mature masculine. You can also see some of these archetypes in the MV of ego when Hobi is king of dreaming wich is a way we connect with our inner world.
I think you're right David; he's killing the part of himself that was obsessed with fighting with haters and ashamed of growing up poor. He has come to realize that he doesn't need to be that guy anymore. I also think that slight nod to "Ugh" is deliberate. He is acknowledging that there are better uses for anger then just raging at haters.
I heard that the scar is here bc in the past in Korea u couldn’t become the king if u have a scar on your face Yoongi doesnt give a fck, he is the king anyway🔥
@@midashq If i'm not mistaken you may know this rule by watching from kdrama - Scarlet Heart Ryeo which is the prince who has scar same exactly like suga.
My theory for Suga’s blonde hair is that its the last Agust D who grown his hair with part of him as mad King. The black-haired Agust D is what he truly is and want to be killing off the King in him coz he want to stay grounded using his anger for good and not be consumed by it
Seriously been waiting for your reaction David and prepare to be blown away which features Jin and Jungkook too. I can't Jinkook is too much I just love them
You should check out the whole mixtape it's pure genius. The story telling each track is always top notch. My favorite track is "What do you think?" (어떻게 생각해?) lyrical wise.
If we Americanize the message here, Yoongi is basically illustrating in this MV that "he's been from the hoods & will forever be as he worked his way up from rags to riches" . Hence, he wont let the spotlight/fame alter his true/old self & initial purpose. He doesnt wanna spoil himself to the point he forgets where he came from or waste his anger & time on haters while simultaneously acknowledging how fellow artists could be popping pills amid experiencing issues that come with fame & intense scrutiny from kmedia. This MV portrays Suga's true self now. There is no high flying he can do as he achieved all he wanted. His reality check besides what comes with fame/wealth, is chosing to stay true to himself at the present & whatever the future holds for him, be humble, down to earth & keep doing what he is best at.
I heard that a king in korea cant have a scar in their body, but suga have it and he still can be a king, i dont know, just guessing, btw thankyou so much for the reaction❤️
You can't be the king if you have a scar, but he is a king in the mv. It is like, you can't be famous or big if you are from a small company, but they are now the biggest boyband in the world.
I was so shooketh by the mv. Like everything just fits. I feel like the black haired Suga is the rebel who returned to humble himself. He made a deal with the butcher, who turns out to be the executioner, to help him take out the tyranical king. The tyranical king being the current Suga. It's like he was saying the king is back but i won't let my pride get the best of me. The exchange of glances between the rebel and the butcher at the start was subtle but EPIC
I truly appreciate your reactions as the views given seem to be straightforward and succinct. Those of us nonKoreans get an insight to the Korean culture we would not usually get. Thank you!💜
No words...Suga is phenomenal! Besides their amazing talent, these boys can act! I mean they need to do a story piece. Love your reactions! ❤️ I learn sooo much!
Recently, I've been watching RU-vid videos about Korean history from the Frog Outside The Well channel, so when you mentioned Gwanghaegun, immediately I recognised that he was one of the 2 deposed kings of the Joseon dynasty. Unlike the other deposed king Yeonsangun, who was deposed for being a tyrant and known to kill people at his own whim, Gwanghaegun was deposed for more political reasons. Only he and Yeonsangun do not have temple names, but instead have "gun" at the end of their names, indicating that they were deposed kings. Gwanghaegun was also the king that appeared in several Korean period dramas & movies, such as "Masquerade", "The Crowned Clown", "Hong Gil Dong", "The King's Face" & "The Tale of Nokdu". The theme of these dual characters also appears in "Masquerade" & "The Crowned Clown". One is the king and one is a commoner who stands in for the king. So the question is, who is the real king? The one who is on the throne, or the apparent commoner? When you look at it this way, then it makes sense why at the end of the music video, the commoner kills the king. Because the commoner is actually the real king, and not the person who is on the throne. Do you know where Suga filmed this music video though? Did he film in one of the actual palaces? Or was this filmed on a period drama set? And if he did film in one of the actual palaces, which one did he film at? Could it have been filmed at a palace where Gwanghaegun actually lived, or in one that he had a hand in building or rebuilding? I'm looking forward to the DKDKTV Explained video for this song & music video, because I'm sure it will be filled with Korean culture and Korean history. There would be a lot to explain to those who are not familiar with such things.
Pronounced “August D”. The song was who he used to be (cruel, selfish, greedy. He grew up poor, had to fight, and became all these negative things) fighting against who he became (humble, kind, and honest but fierce at everything he does. He became the humble king). The gun he used to shoot who he used to be (the “king” character) is called an Army (which is what he also calls his fans) so essentially he killed who he used to be with the Army (his fans) and has made it as the kind and humble king. The true kind. Daechwita means a traditional Korean song/cadence that’s played to announce the Kings arrival.
On Spotify, 'Daechwita' doesn't have the shot at the end, but 'Ugh' does, so adding it to my playlist literally helps the song. Thank you SO MUCH for that recommendation!!!
Yep, I think you cracked the theory, I really hope the last scene does relates to “Ugh”.. That would be so awesomely dope.. Suga and BTS , I felt I’ve just attended a class at “Big Hits Educational Thinking University “..🤔 PHEW!!! 🥴Thank you 🙏💕
in 2023... this video aged very well. DAVID you were correct. Min Yoongi has killed the anger he once had. He finished the set with Haegum and Amygdala. I hope you continue to do more of these because its important work.
Reactions like this that help me understand the mv's cultural context are why I follow this channel💜 Thanks so much David. The concept of Daechwita was new to me.
the original king was the black haired yoongi and the blonde yoongi was an imposter who looks exactly like him and tries to steal his throne. yo can see the difference of their scars, the blackhaired yoongi's scar is almost healed while the blonde is still fresh.
Towards the end he talks about how he's achieved everything he wanted. He wanted clothes, money, and to reach his goals. But what's next? He then says that he realized after reaching the top that he wants to be able to put his feet on the ground.
THIS VIDEO IS SO UTTERLY STUNNING , from the costume to the set to the incredible expressions yoongi portrayed with finesse the entire time. it's like I'm watching a conceited , lowkey maniacal yet breathtakingly regal emperor from the past. I simply can't take my eyes away.
I think your theory is so good!! It makes so much sense since he mentioned that in this mixtape he wanted to show he's loosened up and it's a good feeling. He also mentions his anger being an enermy in some of the other songs.
Bro I’m pretty sure we didn’t get most of it and we missed a lot so I really NEED you to do a EXPLAIN video I’ll be waiting for the notification. Great reaction and stay safe.
I've never been so early in my life. I was waiting for your reaction and interpretation. I think the connection with UGH makes sense as well. I love the sudden drop of this mixtape. Thanks!!!
I'm an American, but I LOVE this song and this video. Thank you for helping me enjoy it even more! I love watching someone get as excited about it as I was! 💜
I am from Poland - for me it was blow minding how he put korean history and traditional music in that mv. BEAUTIFUL ! and he is so beautiful! OMG This song and mv should be on BILBOARD! but americans only want english song.... ehhhh And this sword dance! i wish see more! THIS SONG AND MV IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
David we International army urgently need an explanation video for this MV to recommend around. It's such a insanely good beat, suga looks such a bad ass 🙌 King Yoongi 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love the theory about killing unnecessary anger that leads to unnecessary hatred. Yoongi is really the king and the boss. He earned that title long time ago. Thank you David for this reaction. Can't wait for the explanation. Hope Dkdktv do it. 💜
Hey David please tell us even the censor. Lol. Actually I always watched ur reaction and your explanation because I know you got to explain well your culture and the lyrics. Hihi. Thanks david, your the best.
This MV reminds me of the plot of the Korean movie “masquerade” although im sure their are plenty other connection to Korean history as well as his own
Yup the movie is bout the Joseon Dynasty South Korean period drama film starring Lee Byung-hun in dual role as the bizarre King Gwanghae and the humble acrobat Ha-sun, who stands in for the monarch when he faces the threat of being poisoned. Great movie by the way. Love Min Yoongi
I really like your interpretation of the video. Yoongi described it as the new Agust D killing the old one or something like that and I like your explanation as to why he would
My jaw dropped when the MV started - like the traditional setting is just gorgeous. The colours, his makeup and costumes - the mix of modern with traditional styling. He looks AMAZING. (That shot of his face beneath the woven hat just before the beat drops, I NEED that as a poster!) Seriously, Yoongi is the definition of Fine. Loved the song, as always with him so powerful and meaningful and just taking NO shit. Other rappers posture, but he's really been through so much that I feel like it's authentic coming from him, like he's earned the right to call himself a King and I love it! Love him so much and as always love your videos and analysis of their vids. This and your other channel are always the first channels I seek out for our reactions and explanations on our amazing boys from Korea.
"This music video is actually based on a movie. The Real King (Black haired Yoongi) noticed that someone wants to poison him so he decided to search for a certain person who looks, talks and acts like him to take his role while he investigates. There he found a slave (Blonde Yoongi) and make them look identical, he gave Blond Yoongi a scar. If you haven't noticed Blonde Yoongi has a fresh and new scar while Black haired Yoongi's scar looks old and healed. Blond Yoongi being a slave also explains the lyrics: "Born as a slave now I'm a king" Blond Yoongi suddenly became cocky and greedy because he was sitting in the King's throne. He started to end innocent people life's because he felt like he has the right to. He became really greedy to the fact where he wanted to be a king for life, he ordered his men to find and kill the real king, Black haired Yoongi. But the man who was ordered to kill Black haired Yoongi knows who the real king is, which is why he gave him a gun." This is not my idea, I copied it from comments from the official video. Please let me know what you think about it!
In Joseon Dynasty, Agust D -The king and the Slave in disguise. Jin- A hot-tempered fisherman. Jungkook- A bystander who don't want to be bumped into. Hated everyone named Jin. Hobi- An angel who offers coffie and churrios behind the scene. Taehyung- A Hwarang cutie who overslept the whole event. And probably went to the palace after tye crime scene. Jimin-Still sleeping after stargazing because of his Serendipity. Namjoon- A scholar busy writing lyrical masterpieces after going out and destroying the food stand in the village. I love parades, King August D too... OMG, is this fate? How am I supposed to handle this emotions I'm feeling right now?
I think it’s easier than we think: He wanted to execute his past self to get rid of his (not so good) past. But this isn’t the reality. The reality is that it’s the past who shaped him into what he is right now. No one can escape the past self. It’ll always remain as a shadow somehow. Every achievement, every move, every down and everything we say and do on a daily basis is shaped by our past. This is why the black haired yoongi got rid of his ties. As he said in the video... he got everything from clothes to money but what’s next? Always stay down-to-earth. BTS as a whole themselves said in an interview back then that they are grateful for their past self because without it they wouldn’t be who and where they are now. You have to love the one you were in the past. With every mistake and failure. Don’t try to ‘punish‘ or to escape it by tying it up. You’ll just end up how the king yoongi did if you won’t accept yourself. And accepting yourself includes your past as well.
Yoongi: *getting rid of his tyrannical self a.k.a, his useless anger* Also Yoongi: *continues to paint his art in his studio in peace about the same time the MV dropped*
THEORY TIME: (I won't say that old yoongi new yoongi thing because it's obvious, everyone knows so besides that:) In the mv 1:23 So there are 6 guys with him(I guess representing bts) in the room and the woman(army) holding the box gives yoongi a key, is that a representation of ARMY and BTS? Oh then those three heads(king yoongi looking executing people from abalconylike thing, there are 3 heads hanging) supposed to be BIG3? Am I overthinking? (oh and when he got a gun from that boxy thing-that boxy thing was used for those dead peoples head, they were putting the heads to that box thing, and then they did some kind of ritual in the end and blackhaired yoongi took a gun from that box? Then killrd king yoongi, and while doing it so there were 6 torches around them.) Yup, the end.
This video, being SUGA, and my addiction and love of historical Kdramas, made me scream out loud as soon as it started. Just an incredible song and video. Loved your reaction!!
I always felt he was ridding himself of himself also & that shooting blonde AgustD signifies moving forward. He was blonde for "AgustD" & "give it to me" & since then he has achieved so much, chanelling that angst into worldwide success. He had also mentioned many times since then that he used to want "big house, big cars, big rings" & has since realised he didn't NEED those things. So shooting the king could also reflect that part of him that used to chase riches as a sign of success; he no longer believes he needs them to be content.
Yoongi really make BTS the most Korea National Treasure..S.Korea is so lucky that BTS is from your country..BTS members are so talented..not just their group musics ..even their solo music as well..❤❤❤❤
You always have the best reactions and speculations. Gets us thinking differently, especially those of us who aren't Korean and don't recognize or understand cultural references.
