Agust D - MV Trilogy - Daechwita '대취타' , Haegeum & Amygdala MVs | REACTION 

What makes me emotional is not just only the trauma. He portrays the fact that he will have sudden nightmares that bring it all back, and he wants to tuck it away. Most likely he will live with those nightmares most of his life when the memories creep out again. He said in his documentary that working on Amygdala caused a lot of mood swings. So brave. This is a masterpiece.

He wanted BTS to sing the Song Originally doing BE days, the amount of trust he has to the members that he wanted them to sing about his Trauma, is just heartwarming.

Yoongi said this was hard to write and that amygdala was the part of the brain that stores trauma or fear in the latest episode of suchwita. I'm just extremely grateful that he put this out for everyone to see. Thank you for the reaction as always.

I'm so grateful that he trusts us enough to share his vulnerability. It takes a lot of courage and bravery to show yourself like this to one person let alone millions of people. I'm glad he's stated that he's a lot happier and is healing. Thank you for the reaction 💜

People with PTSD have the same issues with their amygdala. Not being able to process emotion and trauma properly. People who suffer with PTSD in multiple forms would understand this mv straight off. Its the whole process of nightmares vs flashbacks. Flashbacks being more of a process for PTSD sufferers. I have Complex PTSD and hyperviligence so i understand this mv with all its little nuances. I respect Yoongi so much that hes been able to be so open with these issues.

the freedom of expression line in haegeum rly hit me hard bc of everything going on in the states right now. like ppl rly don't realize there's a difference between freedom of expression and the freedom to commit violent (verbal and physical) acts and mask it as freedom of expression... ur so right when u said our world is going backwards and all we can do is sit and laugh in disbelief

I think the trilogy is about slowly recovering from trauma... the Amydala MV explains the key to understanding the other two MVs, in that it shows that the scar is a mark of a character that is acting on their trauma - Yoongi has been slowly healing over the years. In Daechwita (D-2), he replaced "blond Agust D" from the first mixtape (he was blond for the MVs he released in 2016), who was a king who ruled out of anger... in Haegeum, a new Yoongi who DOESN'T have a scar, he's healed from his trauma - or at least has learned how to have it not continue to hurt him any more by self-inflicting wounds in response to it - and Haegeum Yoongi replaces D-2 Yoongi whose scar is old but still there, and is ruling in a civil manner but perhaps too caught up in the flexing aspect (the fancy suit, the slick image). I think Haegeum is the end on a note of Yoongi being free, and living the way he wants. Amygdala is needed to explain that key though - what Yoongi had to go through mentally to get to that point. The fact that he's sharing this with us, to me, means that he's reached a healthy place where he feels strong and recovered enough to share the story. Even if he can't put a firm happy ending on it, because you can't do that with mental struggles - in the latest episode of Suchwita, he even tells RM that he gets low every 2-3 years, but has learned how to handle it better as time has passed, and now RM thinks he's the most positive person on the team. Really, Yoongi is absolutely amazing. I love him so much and he deserves all the hugs in the world. I know you still have so many mixtapes to listen to - but I think you'll absolutely love the D-Day album. Especially Snooze, which features Woosung from The Rose. I hope you get a chance to listen eventually!

As a multi-stan who is Army first and foremost, I would like to invoke the words trail blazers with regard to Suga and BTS. Because they have risen to the heights that they have in the music industry they now have the power to speak their truths. They are no longer bound by the usual "idol" rules. The beauty of this is that perhaps by being this raw and allowing themselves to show what lies behind the glitz and glamour of the industry they can help those who come behind them. I am so proud of Suga. I also truly believe his Grammy may be on it's way.

Haegeum was such a good song oml he really humbled everyone…but for amygdala….holy shit….that hurt so bad because like you said this was one of the first times we have an actual visual to explain and understand his story better…the only time ive ever like this for yoongi song was that last and first love…i will always love this man and so happy he is still here with us because he honestly is the biggest comfort ive ever had in my entire life.

Another meaning for haegeum is lifting a ban so allowing something forbidden

I saw how the meds after became almonds in the MV, and I remember that in the book 'Almond' (that he read at the In The Soop) the protagonist was told to eat almonds to get his amygdala to work properly and that detail blow my mind

for those of us who know yoongi's background and history, it really makes me emotional to see him trusting us with his vulnerability. in a way, amygdala is the end & the beginning of the agust d trilogy. its the birth of the alter ego symbolic of the scar and his way of saying that even though his past hurts will never go away and he won't be able to forget his memories, (his other self being stuck in the room of rain=amygdala), he survived it all and he's at peace with it. he's accepted himself as yoongi/suga/agust d. he's at a point in his life where the inner conflict has merged and become just one person.

I think you said it perfectly. It affects us more because we know it’s his true story and not a fictional made up story for a music video.

This song and the mv had me in a chokehold. Not only did Yoongi's acting get MUCH better (and he was already literally a pro), but the entire cinematography backs it up. The song is a banger, no doubt. Haegeum is a traditional instrument, but it also means release from prohibition. The mv is so fascinating. In Daechwita, he killed the blond Agust D because he was too corrupt with anger and resentment. Agust D couldn't take it anymore. But in Haegeum the Agust D scar ended up as corrupted as the blonde Agust D. It's interesting that the new Agust D basically started the mv by killing a person and ending with the memory of it. Agust D is a trilogy because Yoongi was finally able to unite with Suga and Agust D. They are no longer apart because he learned to embrace all of his feelings. In this MV, the new Agust D. is a vigilante and violent villain because that's what Agust D is. But instead of just killing the scarred Agust D, who in this narrative, is a corrupt secret agent, (as happened to the blonde Agust D), he ALSO burned the money scar that Agust D had. My interpretation is that this whole mv revolves around FREE SPEECH, which may not be correct. 🤣. Finally, cheers to SUGA for yet another unique work of art.👏❤

Oh the scene of the blade cutting his face is too much for me, i keep closing my eyes when that part comes because it looks so realistic.Yoongi is on another level, the way he translates his life into art is just wow

26:30 : You're right. Hoseok said something similar in his verse in UGH! Yoongi in HAEGEUM : Freedom of expression, could be reason for somebody's death Hoseok in UGH! : Someone's rage becomes someone's life 31:52 Nope. It wasn't the goldfish in the bag. It was tangerines 😂 55:45 : AMYGDALA does come from a Greek word and that's Αμύγδαλο ( Amiythalo ) not Amygdale. I'm Greek I'm sorry, just wanted to say it. 💜 51:28 When Yoongi is singing the line " Mom's heart surgery " he keeps repeating the last syllable he said. He basically said 엄마 심장의 수술 ( 술 술 술 술 ). 수술 ( susul ) means heart surgery, but 술 ( sul ) by itself means alcohol... Impling that, at that hard time, he was drinking a lot... I'll be crying to Amygdala for a long time... It's just too much... ❤️‍🩹💔💜 Now that, according to Yoongi, the trilogy of the Agust D with the scar is completed with AMYGDALA, I have a theory. I believe that Agust D started at AMYGDALA, since we found out that that's when the scar was made by him. I think that that broken part of him, in order to move on, had to be left behind. So I think that the Agust D of AMYGDALA died in that dark place. Then in DAECHWITA, the King is killed by the Agust D that became the Police Chief in HAEGEM. Who was then killed by that "new" guy that doesn't have a scar. I believe that the Agust D from the AMYGDALA, kept involving to the king then to the police chief and finally to the guy without the scar. The more scarred version of his got killed everytime by his more healed one. The reason why this trilogy is over is, I think, because his scars of his past are healed and he's now truly happy, away from that dark place... At least I hope... He went through so much. He deserves to be happy with his 6 brothers 💜 Thank you so much for this trilogy reaction. I'm sorry for being late, I was just waiting for 24 hours since Amygdala MV's release to watch reactions of this song and MV 💜

Although sometimes seeing his MVs and reading his lyrics are hard, because I never want to think about him in pain, I truly feel that him being able to express himself through his music is how he is able to process and navigate through his struggles. Sometimes I think celebrities feel they always have to show a happy face, even when they’re struggling, which I don’t feel is healthy mentally. I am grateful Yoongi and the other members feel safe enough to put their raw emotions out there. Even if what they show us is just a fraction of what they are feeling, I think it helps both them and us get through this shit show that is life sometimes. Thank you BTS, Anitra, and Caitlyn for always making me feel like I am a part of your lives even just a little bit. Borahae💜💜

Yeah I did leave caitlyn a comment on her haegeum video it's best not watch amygdala mv when she's not in the best mind state to be safe. It's a very emotional video 🥺

I just REALIZED that maybe the 2 agust D's thing is just reapeating over and over again in a kind of “infinite cicle” (even tho he finally killed him) the same way he's living and reviving his traumas over and over again… 😮😳😳😭😭😭

30:14 I love his little dance and when he was looking at the fish . So freaking cute!!!!

1:03:51 i cried alot in this song OMGGGGGGG yoongi was suffering oh my kitty I'm so proud of him ... he never give up! I'm really thankful him cuz he share his pain with us 😢❤❤

Amygdala is such a brave and beautiful and important song and music video. Trauma affects the amygdala. The amygdala is also connected to the limbic system. The effects of trauma and the amygdala triggers the body's fight, flight, or freeze response. When someone gets PTSD from a traumatic event, that fight, freeze response kicks in when something triggers it like a memory or a nightmare. Clearly this song means SO much to me. Yoongi's lyrics, "Save me from here, hurry and get me out quickly." remind me of times when I get stuck in my own PTSD symptoms. Sometimes I literally feel trapped by my own body. I'm not insinuating that Yoongi has PTSD or anything. I'm just saying that, as someone in the process of healing from traumatic events, the accuracy and honesty of this song and MV mean the world to me. This song is so important.

The fact that he couldn't open the door at the end i think means that we can not change the past or erase our memories, they will always be there....but what we can do is, like he said, try our first best choice, if that doesn't work out try our second best choice than third and so on until we can eventualy bloom like a lotus flower💜 Don't ever give up! Yoongi is the best example of that, i love him so much. And i love you and this reaction is one of my favourite. You really try and soak up everything that is presented. We watch because we want to hear others thoughts and opinions not to watch someone sit for 4 minutes staring at the music video, plenty of those are on the youtube. Borahae💜💜💜

the black room is a trap of bad memories that Yoongi can't get out of. lives the tragedies of the past, as in Groundhog Day. the scar Suga inflicted on himself was the Suga who was stuck in the memory. and continues to hurt himself, not finding the strength in himself to learn from the past and free himself from the black room. Suga's words from the film Road to D Day about Amigdala: "I wanted to tell you how I got a scar over my eye from DAECHWITA and Haegeum. in a sense, we ourselves are responsible for our scars and wounds. from the first arrow of trouble you cannot dodge. but when the second arrow flies at you, you just stand there and wait for the blow. because you didn't learn the lessons the first time." Тhis means that when Suga immerses himself in the sad moments of the past again and again, it is tantamount to how he's doing the scar on his eye himself. in a figurative sense. therefore we are shown a repetition of the scene of the accident with the car and then the knife in the hands of Suga in Amigdala. so we have a trilogy. in DAECHWITA two Suga's with the scars fighting each other. In Haegeum, Suga tries to kill his alter ego. In Amigdala, on the contrary, he's tries to save himself. these are all the experiences that tormented Min Yoongi. inner struggle with oneself. attempts to destroy and kill oneself / attempts to save and healing oneself.

I love your interpretation of police yoongi as a representation of how bts had to conform these past years but now by killing that police yoongi he's and bts aren't playing the game anymore

So I saw a lady on TikTok talking about this video and this was just her opinion. She said that in the first video he calls himself the king and the boss and at the end he kills the boss. Then in the second he is portrayed as a boss and kills the boss as well. She said that Yoongi said this was the last Agust D album. I'm not sure if that's true or not but her theory is that he's saying that he's killed off those two sides that make Agust D and now he's free to be just Suga because he doesn't have anything left that he feels has to prove. So I thought that was an interesting thought on what it might mean.

31:50 no he stole tangerines he does love them.🍊😆

A beautiful reaction, thank you! I cried like a baby when I watched Amygdala and listened to Snooze. His album is an absolute masterpiece and the most hard hitting, stripped down to real life honesty thing I have even seen any artist done. Relatable, beautiful and courageous.

Haegeum mv I had to watch so many times man looked so good actor yoongi. The lyrics was amazing . Amygdala I'm so thankful for him giving us something so raw and honest. I listened to it first before seeing the mv. It was nice the beat but omg after reading the lyrics then seeing the mv . Oh goodness he made me cry so much. 😭

The trilogy is a masterwork. The music, the lyrics, the visuals are on a level that just blows my mind. So intimately personal. Min Yoongi is a genius, no doubt about it. Thank you for your reaction Anitra. As always you show such respect to the artist and I always look forward to your reactions.💜

AMYGDALA was my favorite of D-Day. And 14:30 definitely. I tend to see alot of reactors not pay attention to the lyrics. While i do understand they might pay attention to the lyrics on their own time, i wish they'd like you said go back and read the lyrics

17:00 yeahhhhh!!!!!! Tell them !!🎉🙌🤩 They 7 deserve all attention to their work!! And you show that same respect for everyone who passes on your channel and I love that about you so much!

Anitra, girl you went through a spectrum of emotions in this reaction!!!! These MV's were so f***kin' amazing. He deserves to call himself a genius. I was absolutely blown away by this album. Amygdala is a masterpiece. I am glad he shared this with us. It helps me to know he is good now. These members that have released solo work so far have been so diverse and so dam* amazing. I love BTS!!! SUGA/Yoongi/Agust D I will be watching your concert online for both days in June. Can't wait. Also, he will be on Jimmy Fallon May 1.

I loved his last D-Day concert where he was finally able to open that white door and go through it. BRAVO SUGA, WELL DONE. 💜💜💜

This reaction it's everything!!, this it's why you are my favourite reactor, you put the attention and respect that every artist deserve. I agree with all your comments . Haegeum spiting facts and Amygdala broke my heart, it's hard to watch, but at the same time I'm so proud of YoonGi, he is an amazing artist and human being. The album it's a masterpice. Thank you so much for this amazing reaction 💜

Remember in Daechwita where we had the meat seller who was also the executioner and was actually on Agust D (the regular man's version's) side. There was a part in the video where the regular Agust D acknowledges the man with a nod while at the market. So from then on or at least in hindsight we knew that man had his back. In Haegeum, the man who is 'drowning' him is actually the same man whose life he spared after he ended that other guy with the chopsticks. He was the guy on the phone calling the cops or his boss and this version of Agust D (regular guy - just to differentiate from the police chief) nodded at him and left him. The man isn't actually drowning him but it's a whole plan to make it look like torture (bear it once to make it appease the boss) and then I'm gonna push you in a bit further to reach the gun. It was a whole set up. So either the man was thankful that he was spared and turned to the regular guy's side. Or he could've been his inside man from the start. Yeah he had to call the boss/police because it would so fishy if he didn't. But that's how we play the game.

Can we also appreciate Yoongi's acting!!! He did such a great job in both MVs!! Truly an all-rounder idol!!

As someone who suffers from PTSD, the Amygdala mv had me sobbing. Not only from him sharing his own trauma with us but because I know what it feels like to want to escape those memories that replay like a movie over and over and over again. I love Yoongi so much and how brave he is to share this part of his life with us. It's one of my favorites off the album 💜

Min Yoongi, the genius that you are!! The music, the lyrics and the entire message and symbolism of the MV is just so freaking perfect!! What a man! I've fallen for him again!!

THIS is why Min Yoongi is my ultimate bias/comfort person.

Basically, Amygdala is an origin story for Agust D from what i understand...

Thanks again for another honest reaction. The main thing that this song/vid said to me - It was a reminder that these pop stars still deal with things that everyone deals with. We so often covet their fame, money, status...but we don't see the stuff going on behind the camera. While I'm a huge fan of their music and vids, I don't follow the online shows or docs, so I knew nothing about the things Suga mentioned in the song. He let us tap into a part of his life that is painful and I think this song will not only help him but so many of us who also are dealing with trauma or extremely difficult situations in life.

haegeum is such an important commentary to think that a lot of people didn’t get the message and where just criticizing him for talking about capitalism because he is rich and those are the same people saying how kpop idols should be more free and humanized i don’t get kpop stans anyways i would like to believe that him smoking was him implying that he’s seen the hate tae and many more idols have gotten bc of it dispatch better stop acting like catching an idol smoking is a scandal 🤭 also amygdala i love that song sm looking forward to your album reaction bc is so good

I agreed with everything you said. You gave me a lot to think about too with Haeguem. For amygdala, just... yes. We weren't ready for it. How vulnerable he is just... I don't have the words. Thank you for your reaction. 💜💜💜💜

The Yoongi in "Amygdala" is the first iteration, where he suffered trauma; the scar on his face is fresh and bloody. In the "Agust D" mv, Yoongi first appears as his alter ego Agust D (blond), who is angry and hungry for success; the scar has healed somewhat from "Amygdala," but is still red and raw. In "Daeschwita," Yoongi mentioned that he no longer wanted to be the angry version of himself as a teenager, so the more "real" version of himself/Agust D (dark hair, scar more healed) kills the old Agust D (blond), who got the success he wanted and became tyrannical. The final iteration of Yoongi is seen in "Haegeum." The 2nd iteration of Agust D became corrupted (like a dirty cop) over time (scar is almost gone), becoming another version of himself that he didn't want to be, so the final Agust D finally frees himself (scar fully healed, acting with freedom without restraint) by killing the 2nd iteration that had become corrupted.

Thank you for the reaction Anitra! I was also very emotional when I first watched Amygdala. I really appreciate your analysis and comments on the MV and I agree with your take on this. I feel so loved by Yoongi, for him to feel comfortable enough to show us his struggles and fears. I hope that, by doing this trilogy, he is in a better place mentally.

Pause queen! They do deserve to be paid attention to because these L Y RI C S 👏🏻. Adore you

I'm screaming Artist 🔥💜

Please everyone help us stream the whole album and the title track Haegeum. This is a whole masterpiece that deserve all our support. He poured his soul in to it

Been waiting patiently for this,thank you Anitra ☺️☺️ Have a good day/night 💜💜

36:45 I think he is Min Yoongi. Daechwita was Agust D and Suga, now here it's Suga and Min Yoongi 💜

You were spot on in your explanation of Amygdala. The amount of trust Yoongi has in telling his story of where he has been and what he has struggled through and the healing he has gone through to get to where he is today. I have watched the mv myself and a few others, and I have cried every time to Amygdala, and you are the only person who has had this point of view of the song, and that is greatly appreciated. This song is also very personal to me as well because for over 20 years, I struggled with something that happened to me when I was just a kid. I can relate to Yoongi in the sense that while the memories and flashbacks are painful and make us feel like we are stuck in the darkness of them, we can overcome them. This song, Amygdala, was the perfect song I needed to hear, and to hear your explanation was amazing. Don't ever stop.

Yoongi is a freaking genius, and this set of videos hit mind and heart and soul. He's speaking absolute truth in "Haegeum" and "Amygdala" is a more personal kind of truth. As someone with a very dark past and PTSD as a result, I can completely understand. I'm blown away by his work, and I love the story he tells. (Especially the "Daechwita" reincarnated souls.) If Yoongi doesn't star in an action/crime thriller someday, there is no justice in the world.

Haegeum - "Freedom of expression can be the cause of someone's death" Ugh - "You're allowed to be angry, but bothering someone else's life, I don't like it." and "Someone's anger becomes another's life" I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to unless it's a different song. So from Haegeum we know that people overstep their boundaries and think because they have freedom of speech, they can say anything they want but not consider that these can have detrimental consequences. If I'm linking it to Ugh, anger itself, is a form of expression and yes, we are free to express it but some take it too far.

Thank you for your sweet reaction. I will cry every time I watch this video because it is so powerful and relatable but if it helps Yoongi heal then it is the least we can do. I still cry every time I watch Shadow.

Very interesting that you did all 3 MVs, as per Yoongi's recommendation. I really like what you had to say about each one. For me, every time I see Haegeum, I'm sooo impressed with his acting. Absolutely spectacular from beginning to end. How he embodies both characters, all the nuances, etc. Amygdala is so touching and I also hope making it was healing for him. I love how you caught the detail of the almonds, btw. I think that the fact the room doesn't have walls may mean he's self-imposing being in that space, that he doesn't actually need to feel imprisoned there because it's all open after all? Thank you. This was a highlight in my day

So many references through so many different time periods and fields of study. Love it.

soooooo appreciated your reaction - going in the way you did, trusting the process without fully knowing the content - thank you Anitra 💜p.s. it was nice to have a crying buddy this time round! Min Yoongi aka Suga aka Agust D is an amazing being!

27:01 mirrors the scene at 13:18. Rewatch the MVs and you'll see soo many similar frames and reinterpretations of the Daechwita mv in the Haegeum MV!

A few thoughts “I don’t know your name.” Suga, August D, Min Yoongi? The first 2 MVs he was trying to kill off a part of himself so he can become someone new and fulfill his dreams. The last MV he’s trying to save himself, because he realizes his experiences are all valuable and necessary. The trauma, struggle, and suffering are all pieces of the person he is today. He wants to save himself by accepting himself as a whole person. To put ALL of the pieces together, move past the trauma and become whole.

I aways love your reaction. Amygdala is a hard watch for me. He was so brave fr this

In this trilogy i interpret it this way: In Daechwita the lower class version of himself kills the one obsessed with succeeding and accumulating wealth to prove haters wrong. In Haegum the black haired version of himself from Daechwita with scar symbolizes that even though he does not strives for success to prove haters wrong, by just existing and being successful he is still imprisoned by capitalism and the working of our current world. The black haired version of himself without scar is freeing himself from conforming to the norm. In Amygdala you see the origin of the scar and how it represents hurt and trauma and how it forms you and can cripple your growth. He shows that after freeing himself from the need to prove himself to others (daechwita) and societal norms (Haegum) he is now addressing his inner demons and hurt in amygdala. I have nothing but respect for how he allows us to witness his personal journey.

I think he was trying to get out of his head and think that’s when Agust D was born from his past trauma he want to be free from all of it 💜

I love that you reacted to them in order.... ♡ As someone with PTSD his dream scene hit me hard... Amygdala was Yoongi's goodbye to agust D that he let us be a part of. I love hims so so much, thank you for the reaction, been folliwing since the skz live you shared with us at your risk ♡

While watching this video is so heartbreaking, I have to believe that by his sharing his story with us, that he is on the road to healing.

those are tangerines lol 🧡 31:55

The crying started straight off the bat for me...but the severe ugly crying happened when yoongi started running to try to save himself😢😢😢 I needed to be prepared and I wasn't...he was so honest and vulnerable..which makes me adore him more ❤❤

Lol I was so confused when I saw Daechwita, who wouldn't wanna jam to the song though so I don't mind seeing it again

omg.. we have the same reaction Amygdala.. i lost it and cried so hard..

Thank you Anitra. You vocalised so much of what I was thinking and feeling. This man laid himself bare for us and the least we can do is to watch, listen and learn. What a beautiful and inspiring human he is. 💜

i love you so much 😭💜 your personality is just the best thing ever 💜

Im crying with you💜💜💜

I think slaves to youtube is different than using youtube properly. Slaves to youtube is like going overboard for the view to the point we hurting people and ourselve. I saw a lot of those.

I like all 3 songs, obviously last one is very emotional and I'm sure everyone got emotional. I always thought that Suga is a strong person, an introvert and a fighter so him doing this showing his sensitive side is his way to show us his vulnerability so I can only appreciate it. Each song has deep meaning but the last one is more personal I guess. By the way Amigdala in romanian means tonsil(but with i not y). I think that in first two songs: Daechwita and Hwegeum he show us the cruel reality while in the last one he show us his vulnerability and his fears.

I’m so excited to watch your reaction Anitra. Will comment again later once I’ve watched through. ❤️❤️ Not done watching, but I just love how concise you are and how you explain and interpret some of these lyrics. You’re so well spoken and your commentary is always interesting.

It's Yoongi speaking truth again. Truth to the current world, truth to us, and truth to himself. His work is so raw that you can't help but be captivated by it. I'm so impressed with the craftsmanship of the videos. I think you are bang on with your thoughts on Haegeum. That ending made it seem cyclical - I wonder who he was looking at? Anyway - thanks for another insightful and emotional video! 💜

Girl, you are the best. from J-ARMY living in Orlando. 💜

💜Thank You💜

@SayWhatReacts - Anitra - THANK YOU for your reaction. Genuine and heartfelt as always. I have been thinking of you a lot lately and hope that you and Brian are keeping well. Maybe I will catch you on a live one day soon. Take care of you - hugs. Comment on the Amygdala MV (if you will indulge me). In my view, not that it's right.... So why is Amygdala the last video in the trilogy? Because this is where it begins and how AgustD (the King, the top Cop) was created. The scene with where he has the box cutter to his face and gives himself the scar over his eye, a metaphor of the scars of traumatic memories from life that propelled him to chase music, to work day and night to succeed - because at first he had to. He HAD to succeed because he had his mom's and dad's health and costs to take care of. Yes, music was a passion, but there was always more in the driving force behind his Big Hit / BTS journey; and now, the time has come where (2nd video) because he has achieved and reached the point where he can take care of his parents without worry, he now can finally be free to be himself without having to wear another persona to make it through the day, through life, through his emotions, through working for BTS's success. He can finally be Min Yoongi. I so much appreciate Min Yoongi sharing his most deepest emotional struggles with us. I hope his message will help anyone else who has faced trauma or emotional upheaval. There were a lot of messages like: Time to let it go. Do not let the pain and trauma of the past rob you of the beautiful life awaiting you. You are so much more than the past. Use the past trauma and pain as tools to push forward, live the moment and live life. Many (if not all of us) have or will face challenges in life and may experience moments in life that are traumatic enough to re-shape who we our and steer us off course from our soul's purpose/learning path. The trauma and its' fears are not what we are here in life to accomplish. We're here to find the parts of life that makes our soul and heart sing with joy. As Yoongi depicted, as hard as the battle may be, we must find a way to face those traumas and fears head on, take control of them (rather than they controlling and distorting us) and instead use them as tools to strengthen us going forward to live life boldly, to the fullest and most importantly, back to joy.

At the final concert of d-day in Seoul on the 3rd he finally opened the door and came out and closed it, closing the jn cycle

Mmm something similar to what you mentioned about 'freedom of expression becomes someone's death', can be found in "UGH!" Jhopes verse.

Yaaaay thank u🫶🏻💜

*He is INSANE*

thank u🥺💜

Amydgala was my favorite song after I heard the album and after reading the lyrics I knew it had to be. I don’t even know what to comment except I’m so in love with this man and his art, it is always so beautiful and raw, and (just like you said) I’m so thankful of the fact that he was able to tell his story to us and I really hope it is part of his healing process, I also know and hope that one day he would reach that door and the other Yoongi is gonna be able to open it and set himself free from the pain. Min Yoongi you are amazing 💜

that`s why they paved the way,they did everything make us happy and people just start to think,and yes,the whole generation is a slave to RU-vid,sorry and yes,just keep going we all cryed,and yes,the last video only real human beenig,only one who has a heat will understand last video and yes,you are doing great and I love your review

How much must he trust us to let us see his most painful vulnerable places. We literally do not deserve him. I know this was painful and it definitely triggered some of my own $h*t but if it helps just one other person it was worth it. Hug your loved ones tightly.

same you.i'm crying so much😢

I love Yoongis music so so much, his lycris, his mv's, the hiding meaning in the small details. He shared so much with us, really personal stuff. Amygdala is one of my favorite songs, just alone of the emotions it lets you feel. I myself suffer from trauma and ptsd so I can somewhat realite to the meaning of the song. I just hope that Yoongi is doing better about it now tho! 💜 This is about the storyline that I thought interesting: Did he give the scar to himself? If yes, that would be an very intersting detail in the storyline. While in Daechwita and Haegeum the other Agust d kills both times the Agust d at the top, with the scar. But in Amygdala the other agust d trys to save the agust d with the scar. So maybe instead of 'killing' his emotions, his other self, he tried to save himself by accepting his emotions, his trauma and moving on with it. Because the only person to save you is yourself? (Just my theory lmao )

Definitely getting the Robin Hood vibe from Thief!AgustD and DirtyCopKingpin!Yoongi vibes on Haegum.

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Anitra did u spot that there is 6 gang members with Suga. o.0 Suga always has BTS represented in his MVs. He so sweet. Jimin ult bias, Suga wrecker, OT7. He looks so hot. Love the souvenir jacket his wearing. I have one too but mine is black and has cranes on it. I love dragons though and my fav color is blue & black. I kind of thought we would not have a song like Daechwita on this album. Well guess i was wrong, huh. 0.0 I was really surprised on 1st watch. I never thought he would connect 3 MVs together. 0.0 That is brilliant. Suga is such a genius. I love it. Suga during the premier said to listen to Daechwita, Haegeum, and Amygdala. So that's what i am going to do. Ty for helping me do this. =0} Powerful song. I like that we continue the story from Daechwita. But this song is more violent. Geez. He is such a savage! I liked it. Good rhythm. Suga is a visual. Excited to rewatch the MVs in order like he suggested. Did u spot the Joker reference i missed that. Ur reaction was many of us. He is such a boss! Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army 💟 Borahae ARMY *KEZ* said on 4/21/23 So Haegeum means allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden. His whole album is overflowing with his emotions, and not only does he talk to himself in his album, he talks directly to the listener (especially with one particular song, where it almost feels like he breaks the 'fourth wall'. I've experienced it via a movie before, but never by song, until now) there are ARMY translator accounts on Twitter, so if you want to listen to his album on Spotify or Apple music etc, you can have the lyrics pulled up to help you understand what he is expressing 💜 ScreamCheeese said on 4/21/23 Haegeum also means “to liberate” or “to release” from bans, restraints, or something forbidden. You also really need to see Daechwita!! You’ll understand a lot more of this MV and it’s just as amazing! Just a movie-like. Min Yoongi is a genius for a reason 😩 Plants healing said on 4/21/23 Haegeum has two meanings. The first is a traditional Korean stringed instrument used in this music "this song's a haegeum", and the second, as the lyrics say, "a new kind of haegeum" means "unlock". Yoongi uses both haegeum in his lyrics. Addison McDorman said on 4/22/23 Haegeum: the English lyrics & the meaning. Haegeum is a song about unlocking our new potentials, freeing something previously forbidden. The word “Haegeum” has a double meaning. On one side, it’s a traditional Korean string instrument that has a very peculiar sound, but this is not the authentic meaning Agust D/Suga intended originally. Haegeum” means “allowing/unlocking something that was forbidden.” Here is how he explained it in an interview: The word “Haegeum” came to me when I was young. I played rhythm games, I loved rhythm action games. When beating a certain stage, you’d unlock a forbidden song, then you could play a new rhythm. It was a “freedom from the forbidden.” Why don’t I try and break free from those things? This is explicitly confirmed by the English translation of the lyrics in Haegeum: This song’s simply about freeing what’s forbidden but you must remember to differentiate freedom from self-indulgence This song’s a haegeum Get on board now This lively rhythm A new kind of haegeum Marissa McWhiter said on 4/22/23 The second meaning of haegeum is the lifting of the ban of something forbidden. Adding what I think the story is based on things I’ve heard from other reactors...commentaries and what he said in the d-day documentary. First of all he did say in his intro of the video during the premiere that this video is the second of a trilogy. He said the three videos meant to be seen together is Daechwita, haegeum and amygdala ...which is coming up! So I believe the king in Daechwita, the first form of august D, was killed by black haired scar face agust D. But then black hair becomes the boss in Haegeum. He seems to be a police detective or officer that is corrupt. He runs his operation from above the Asian noodle restaurant. New Agust d wants to kill him too! Maybe like in Daechwita it’s because of his corruption. So he invades the headquarters and gets his money. On his way out we see a guy making a phone call to the boss...but new agust d gives him a nod. So I think just like in Daechwita new agust d has a deal with this insider to help him kill the boss. So this new guy didn’t really want the money it was just a bait to get him close to the boss. So like in Daechwita, as he was about to be killed he switches the story and kills the Boss instead. Before the boss gets shot we see the boss smirk. I saw a comment that this could be because he knows that this New guy will also meet his fate! So in the end new guy was accepted by the boss’ men and he was delivered to their headquarters the restaurant where he takes over. The final Shot of him eating with the tool he used to kill a man suggests that the violence will sustain him. So now we will wait for amygdala to see how the story ends! So the song itself was explained by Suga in the documentary. He explains that as idols there are a lot of things they seem to be restricted from doing, acts that are normal for some will become controversies for idols. Like if his smoking at the age of 31 will be seen as wrong then he wants this song to be the start of liberating or lifting some of the restrictions put on them. He also talked about the effect on too much information and how easy to get them also starts to restrict thinking. It’s a very deep song! The funny thing is...this song has triggered a bit of hate from kpop on social media! Fans of other groups are thinking Yoongi was targeting them...or even saying he shouldn’t be against capitalism since he is from Hybe! Lol totally missing the point of the song...or maybe just proving Yoongi’s observations! He’s a genius! The rest of the album is genius! I hope you do an album reaction! Mic mic bungee said on 4/22/23 what's amazing is that in the MV, hanja 解禁 was on the screen which = haegeum, in terms of "to lift a ban" not 奚琴 = haegeum the instrument. WHICH MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE because the lyrics talk a lot about judgement, prejudice, and being free from all that. something about it is so raw, and honestly, i feel like it's a big fu to those who try to "cancel" grown idols for doing something normal humans do, like him "smoking" in the MV or just dating, or any issues some fans can't accept. "This song is a haegeum" meaning this song is targeting kpop "fans" who always make a big deal out of things that are not even supposed to be controversial HE'S SO ICONIC FOR THIS. Steve Blevins said on 4/25/23 Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 13:36. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychologic condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.

Well said sweetie Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Cont... Hi, i am back. Good reaction(Amygdala), ty. Such a good song. Pls pause as much as u want. I love hearing your thoughts. This is my fav song from his album. My 2nd fav is Snooze. I love all the songs though. But these for some reason made me feel more. When i heard this for the 1st time i smiled. This MV speaks his truth. I am glad Suga talked about it more. I think the more u speak about it the easier it gets as the years pass. I am sorry he went through so much. I am sad he did not reach the door. I think this song is tricky. I think the MV enhanced the song a lot for me. Good visuals. Loved the feels. I am an empath so i take it in. Suga was sharing his trauma, his painful memories right. I was not aware his mom had heart surgery or that his dad battled cancer. I wonder if his bike accident occured in the same year as everything else. We know Suga survived it was a miracle. Yoongi dealt with so much pain for so long. We were all so glad he finally had the shoulder surgery. They are so strong all of them. They are our strength and we theirs. Hugs tight Anitra. I was finally able to cry for him at last. My therapist said I am not afraid of death. I faced my death already dealing with cancer. So his truth was not that shocking to me. But still I wanted to cry for him because he can't. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army 💟

It's the Yoongi pillow for me.

31:48 the ya ya sample is from What Do You Think on D-2. I wonder why he didn't add that to the "refresher course" for people to reference for this song? The lyrics keep hitting bells in my head with their parallels. I need to look at those lyrics side by side! What i remember is the English beginning of RM's verse that just touches on the control of the state: "You think you got taste; oh baby how do you know? I mean for god's sake, everyone under control."

No words, but 💜💜💜

I'm Crying 🤧🤧🤧🥺🫂💜

You have to see his suchwita ep with Rm interviewing him. It’s very informative and great to watch

I loved everything about Haegeum & Amygdala (oh and he sounds better doing the live performances on his documentary, like how does it sound so good!). Honestly I thought a lot about Shadow & map of the soul wanting to hide your shadows, your darkness which is connected to his traumas. I think Yoongi is a master at double meanings, I think the ideas you presented made sense but I also think he keeps trying to kill the darkside his greed and self destructive side but it's a response to his past traumas, he keeps running from those things not fully dealing with them because it's painful but it's a part of him. I think the answer is integrating those parts of yourself and accepting those things to truly move forward. The reason I think "the Boss" Yoongi in Haegum might be laughing when the other self pulls the gun to kill him is that he can never kill that side of himself completely and the cycle will continue from Daechwita if he doesn't fully deal with the root of the problem. But I feel there's a lot of ways to interpret things here. Also I've seen a lot of people mention similarities with Haegum mv and the movie Scarface (which I've never seen myself) which Yoongi referenced with his song "Tony Montana". I also noticed the Scarface movie poster is the character spilt in black & white and Yoongi's tour image is him split in red & blue, just thought that was interesting but could be a coincidence.

Its literally so weird to me that people are actually upset when reactors pause??? Like I actually get annoyed when they don't, either they talk over & miss or they're quiet. Might as well not be there.. People are so strange
