Cypher Pt. 4 | BTS (방탄소년단) English Lyrics *REACTION* 

“Chu” is the Korean onomatopoeia for kiss. It’s used like how we use “mwah”. So that line by jhope means “everyone kisses the sole of my feet after all”.

Suga’s ‘call me a try hard’, the try hard refer to baepsae, a kind of bird and their another group song title. There is a idiom in Korean that baepsae, a bird with short legs have to try hard to fly with birds born with long legs. Bts refer to themselves as try-hard or baepsae to indicate they are not born with wealth and power but tries to break the social system of only those born to own a lot of resources can win in a sarcastic way.

The way RM uses the exact same rhyme throughout his ENTIRE verse blows my mind… like every single line uses the same rhythm and ends with the same sound and that just shows insane versatility… he’s shown how skilfully he can switch it up and now he’s steady, riding the same rhythm and flow over and over and it’s not getting any older.

Cypher pt 4 is definitely my favorite, they’re still addressing the haters and what not, but in such a good way. It’s done in such a “i’m done engaging with you, i love myself too much, you should love yourself too”

RM's word choices are just GOLD.. 1.sound(sori) 2.SORRY 3.dog sound= bullshit (gae-sori) 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

One of the most positive and uplifting rap tracks ever. 1VERSE is a JHope track and is AMAZING. Only BTS can get 100,000 crowd to shout 'I LOVE MYSELF' and mean it!💜

Years ago, I forgot which year (either 2014 or 2015), BTS participated in a variety show on one of SK main TV station. The show was hosted by 2 well-known Korean rappers. Suga was so excited that he wrote a rap song for the Host, hoping that they would use it but the Host blatantly rejected it (on TV!). And today Suga scored No. 1 on Billboard Rap Songwriters Chart. Suga is the First ever Asian rapper to rank on that list. I really hope those Hosts will think about how they treated Suga years ago.

I’m really hoping for a Cypher Pt. 5 once the rap line are back together after the military. It’ll be 🔥🔥🔥

JHope used to create tutorials about street dance styles. Suga used to create reviews of producing instruments. They really take the time to introduce their passion to us. RM, as you probably already know, would have lengthy livestreams to talk about each album after it dropped. Maybe you can educate the rest of the world about your passion. I really learned a lot from what you talk about during your reactions. I really enjoy it. I'd love to hear more, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The history, the styles, the production choices, the history... I think you can let us in on more about hip-hop and r&b. I love the fact that you take your time. The cool part about delving into BTS is... ARMYs are here for the long run. We'll always be happy to watch quality reactions.

The original word used for "try hard" is baepsae(crow tit), a small short legged bird. It's from the phrase "if a crow-tit walks like a stork, it will break it's legs/groin". It was a term that was often thrown at BTS when they first started out cause they dared to dream big even if they came from such a small company. They have a song of the same title (Silver Spoon/Baepsae). The song is both a response to haters but also a critique on the music industry and society in general. It's a fan favorite for different reasons. Link below contains lyrics and a short explanation if you're interested 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L_hchf9n0K0.html

I was lucky enough to get to see Suga live in concert and let me tell you how loud the audience was during the "love myself" chorus. Super powerful moment.

"Bae" used here is short/slang for the korean words Sun Bae and Hoo Bae which represents the artists with more experience, and the up and coming generation, respectively. It's likely being used to address the hierarchical structure of Korean society and unkind comments directed towards BTS in general.

Yoongi having thousands and thousands of us screaming that we love ourselves at every concert stop was so damn powerful.

btw “Mic Drop” is considered to be the unofficial “Cypher Pt. 5” (according to RM) because it’s truly the final words they wish to say about the subject sent throughout the cyphers. You can expect no more cyphers from the guys. They don’t feel these things that they rap about anymore. RM specifically is in a VERY different mental state than he was when these cyphers came out.

Before you watch Amygdala, just know whatever he's saying or showing in that music video is true, it really happened to him in life.

Because you really care about the lyrics (which I deeply appreciate) there's something important to know about Haegeum: Haegeum is not only a two-stringed Korean instrument (which is what you get if you Google it), it also means to lift a ban/something forbidden. It's important to watch Haegeum before Amygdala. 💜

the "chu" mimicks the sound of a kiss so them kissing the sole of his shoes

1VERSE is a song JHope did solo. It's really good and I highly recommend it!!!

To understand "try hard" you must see Baepsae by BTS. And there's a video for explaination of this song. I think you're gonna like it.

I dont know if you know this or not but Suga asked us to watched the mv from daechwita to haegeum and then close it with amygdala. It tells you a story like you watch a movie. Idk man he's so genius!

"Im always thankful for not earning anything easily" hits so hard everytime I hear it. Oh man you're going to love "What do you think?" when you get to more of Agust D's tracks. Thanks for the reaction and much love to you 💜

I've been quietly watching for a while but I wanted to appreciate how perceptive you are. Its been interesting watching and listening to BTS again with you. Thank you for taking time to understand the songs!!

They stopped the CYPHERS once they decided they didn't need to spend time adressing the haters anymore. MIC DROP was that turning point (check the lyrics), which is why it's such a sassy and "showy" song with a powerful performance. Anyway, that was supposed to the end of the dissing tracks. Which is why we were all surprised when Ddaeng and UGH! dropped haha. The cypher spirit lives on :")

Cypher pt 4 is their way of saying we don't have anything left to prove to anyone. They're done addressing the haters they're on top of the foodchain they're above the hate and judgement. They made it. The best part of them performing this live is listening to the entire stadium of 60k+ people chanting "I love myself"❤

What I like about the cyphers is hearing them go from feeling like they have something to prove, to sitting in their influence and reminding the listeners and themselves that we just need to love ourselves.

Growth. This is a word that strongly applies to BTS's and its members's music. If you explore their discography chronologically, you'll find that they grow in many ways: * Their skills in rapping and singing and dancing * Their lyrics * The themes of their songs/albums * Their views of the world Just look at their diss tracks. "Cyphers 1-3" (2013-14) are aggressive clapbacks at haters. By the time they wrote "Cypher 4" (2016), they're able to ignore haters and even tell them to love themselves. "Ddaeng" (2018) flexes in a playful manner. In "Ugh" (2020), haters are no longer important, and the song instead is a social commentary about the role of anger, including anger spewed by haters. This personal and musical growth is in full display in RM's and Suga's solo work because their work span a long period of time. Their first mixtapes -- "RM" (2015) and "Agust D" (2016) -- are angry and ambitious, keen to prove themselves as legitimate artists (to their detractors from the underground rap scene who say they're no longer rappers after joining BTS). Their second mixtapes -- RM's "mono" (2018) and "Agust D's "D-2" (2020) -- are contemplative as they navigate their mid-20s and search for themselves. Their solo ablums -- RM's "Indigo" (2022) and "Agust D's "D-Day" (2023) -- show them maturing into their adulthood, generally at peace with themselves. RM's mixtapes and album in particular are starkly different from one another in terms of sound. J-hope's work -- Hope World (2018) and Jack in the Box (2022) -- also shows growth, but in a different way. In his mixtape, J-hope stays mostly within his sunny persona, but in his album, he readily explores the darker sides of the world and of his mind, with more experimental sounds.

You know we about to get a Cypher Medley Live reaction right???! Word brutha. Luv ur work. Peace

Namjoon really is the king of rap, that's why he's the main rapper of BTS and wrote all their music. He's such a genius!

Suga is the savage that will tell you in your face you are sh!t, RM is the filosopher that will explain you why you are sh!t, J hope is the sunshine that will tap your back and tell you is ok to be sh!t but you need to move on. Because in the end, you cant control their sh!t :DD

Dunno if or when we'll get a pt5 but Yoongi's Huh? ftJHope is pretty close 😆

Never clicked so fast😂💜

Seeing someone appreciate these lyrics is my favorite thing. I could see the wheels of deep contemplation churning in your eyes especially at Suga's last verse "not my fault your life is noncommittal" 😁

Best song to experience in a stadium, all of ARMY singing 'I LOVE, I love, I love MYSELF!' Powerful communion 🏟️💜

you calling Namjoon "big bro" when he's the youngest is so endearing!

Yes!!!! Yes!!! 1VERSE is a jhope song!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Could you please watch the cyphers live versions? I’m sure it would blow your mind

They did Ddaeng and Ugh! which are, to me, continuation / evolution of the cyphers. What blows my mind is how early in their discography the cyphers were.

The "chu" in J-Hope's verse is Korean for kiss (or the sound of a kiss, I'm not 100% sure), so he's talking about someone kissing his shoe, you can hear the kiss in the track 💜

You hit it when you said that their lyrics make you reevaluate your life. That is really what has made BTS so resonant with many. They inspire not by being perfect, but by being vulnerable, sharing how they struggle and overcome struggles, and being thought provoking. There is a reason they have the fan base they do. They are inspiring people not to be carbon copies of BTS, but to be the best imperfect best we can all personally be. I enjoy you discovering what resonates with you in their music! 💜

The Part 1 was them picking the fight back, Part 2 was them attacking the hate, Part 3 was them knocking the haters out and Part 4 is dusting themselves off and giving a bit of advice after they wiped the floors with the haters and demonstrating their moving on/no longer holding on to the negativity they received. There's no choice to make, it all depends on your mood. You will find that with a lot of BTS' music. So glad you enjoyed these, looking forward to your next reaction. Welcome back!💜

No one in the industry is on there level creating music like them💜

You definitely need to listen to 1VERSE. I love that song

I love Pt. 3 a lot but I’m gaining an appreciation for this one too. They show some true maturity. They’re not bothered by haters in this one. They understand the sorry mindset behind the toxicity and seem to wish people would better themselves but they can’t force anyone to do it. Just drop some gems but it’s up to you to apply them.

Aw mannn Yoongi is in LA right now… I wish you could go see him!! You would love him live!!! 💜

i'm sure someone has said already but it deserves to be said again - there's something incredible about having a few kids from Korea getting soldout stadiums around the world to scream "I LOVE MYSELF"

i started reevaluate my life when ive heard the song Dope by bts

JHope's part of the cypher is full of Korean sayings and slang, so that's why something can come out confusing, but yeah, 1VERSE is one of his songs, there he raps on the instrumental of "El Chapo" by The Game & Skrillex. Honestly I really recommend it, because it's 🔥🔥🔥

If u need a ferrari to be someone, to flex, u just reduce yourself to material posessions. These physical things can be stolen from u. But when u find worth within yourself, no one can steel it from u and no money can buy, what's inside u. I've teached it to my son, when a "cool" kid said, a man is nothing without a ferrari. And i told this kid, yes, u r right. He would be nothing without his ferrari. But my son has more than that and will always be someone, with or without ferrari. Bts are giving the exactly same vibe. No gucci gang, no bragging about girls, houses or cars.. just love yourself. Priceless!

Missed you Dude! 💜 I love the sense of superiority in this track. Like we already did this 3 times in the past, we r done addressing y'all... This was RAPLINE Moving forward 😎 "Try Hard" is "Baepsae " you have to Pair that song with the explanation video by DKDKTV. It is an incredible clapback. BTS have a attitude problem. 💜👑💜

Screaming along with this at Yoongi's concert was so great.

I really like that you get it. It's evident that you really love music because you can listen to these songs without much info and just the translation but you really get the essence of it. What they want to say, the beat, their flow and how each rapper have their personality in their verse. And you get it and we love to see it! Welcome back and thank you as always! Also bts has mentioned that they would probably retire performing the cyphers in concerts. And I think it's bcoz since these address the haters and BTS is in position where they're not mad like that anymore and haters no longer matter that much so they no longer feel like that. You're on point on that too!! Also Yoongi saying "Please be healthy" is really the best thing to tell haters. It's telling them "Hey please be healthy and live a long life so you can continue to see me succeed." yes tell them yoongi hahaha

'CHU' is the onomatopaeic word for kiss in Korean. He's basically saying they all eventually kiss his feet.

I found you from On the Street but stayed because you have become one of my favorite reactors. While I am a proud Army, I also like all your other reactions too (I come from the rap scene) I came into BTS also through the rap line first. The more you fall down the rabbit hole the more you will see their pull on everyone. Keep it up and keep being real. I love it!

1Verse is JHope solo rap track. Baepsae -crow tit , It is a short legged bird which describes the millennials, it can be translated as try hard due the saying that no matter how much Crow tit would try they wouldn't be able to keep up with storks. I really recommend this song Baepsae as well known as Silver Spoon. For the future if You would decide to react or even watch on your own this song , you would hear the word 노력. As 노력 which means effort it has became a label that describes millennials . Baepsae is the word which was like a label placed on BTS in their early years. Where their ambitions were laughed out.

samul-nori refers to music or an ensemble organized to play four types of agricultural instruments: gong, Gonggwari, janggu, and drum. "samu"l means 4 objects and "nori" means play also in RM's verse "chew on" means to vilify someone in Korean!!

it’s funny when you call Namjoon big bro when Hobi and Yoongi are older than him lol he’s the middle child of BTS

J-Hope’s double entendre with “chu” because it’s like the sound when you kiss or blow a kiss, but also “chew” like eat ‘em up. I’m so excited for you to check out D-Day! Got to see him in NYC and he was incredible - he’s got LUNGS for spitting and vocals. I hope you get to see him on the west coast 🙏👀

Can't wait to see ur reaction to augustD d day album

BTS are renowned for their performance ability and stage presence, so to experience all the Cyphers in one live performance (with English subtitles!) I HIGHLY recommend this performance, their “Cypher medley”! If you love the Cyphers now you’ll eat them up live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FT930XF1vzA.html

Were your ears burning? Husband and I were literally like "has he reacted to Cypher 4 yet?!" 😂🎉💜

The official music video for Haekum, the new Agust D release, has English subtitles (just turn them on). Don't miss that mv. But I don't recommend reacting to the Amygdala mv unless you display a trigger warning and come with huge respect and understanding. Also, stay safe with your own mental health on that one. We're all here. With BTS you never walk alone. (It's okay to need support. Seriously, Amygdala can be triggering. Going in with supports in place is important.) 💜

I was there on the opening night of the Agust D | Suga tour and he had everyone go back after he did his bit from cypher part 4 to repeat the chorus and there’s genuinely nothing more empowering than an arena of 19k people shouting “I love myself” at the top of their lungs. I definitely feel what you mean when you said hearing their songs makes you reevaluate your life a little

I love Cypher pt. 4 because it's like a soft farewell to haters. They acknowledge that the people who hate them will always be there but while they are spending their lives being hateful, bts are progressing their careers and succeeding and telling people that they should move on and love themselves bc their hate gets them nowhere in life except self deprecation. It's such an adult way of progressing through life as a celebrity always in the spot light.

I really recommend you to listen to agust d the last.. it has very deep lyrics and he talks about his struggles in the past... And I recommend the album indigo by Rm for you, I think you will really like it.. By the way, I really like to watch your reactions, it is the only one that I can really watch without skipping, the way you talk about their music and paying attention to the lyrics and stuff is very good.. Welcome to bts world 🇧🇷🇧🇷

You absolutely have to see them performing the cyphers live. It is next level

The biggest line in Suga's verse for me is the laat one when he yells haters to live healthly.......i just think ending such a dope verse with that line on a CYPHER is just wild and one hella flex

it's so funny how you call him big bro, but he is actually the youngest of the rap line xD but it makes sense to call him big bro bc he is the leader and has that in him bts respect him soo much, even the ones older than him. they respect each other a lot and that's probably one of the major reasons they have such a strong bond with each other.

Can't wait to see your reaction to Agust D's Haegeum and AMYGDALA! Though honestly the entire D-DAY album is incredible

Yoooo hi, I’m still hyping with D-DAY album, hope to see your reaction on the album too I do cried when I was listening to some songs, I won’t spoil you lol

I just saw SUGA three times in Chicago! He does a medley of his verses from Cypher part 3 and 4, UGH!, and Ddaeng! and yes. "1 Verse" is a track by J-Hope. :)

You should also react to the live versions along with the lyrics its a WHOLEASS DIFF VIBE ON LIVE

we all hope for a cypher pt.5 in 2025-2026 and Tae getting his 2 lines in it finally😂

If you get the chance to watch a live performance of Cypher 4, listen to Armys chant "SORRY BAE!"😆 And all the chants the rest of the performance. It's pretty cool.

Let me just say that out of all the new “bts reactiors” that started to come out after the Jhope x Jcole collab you truly the realest one! The realness that radiates out of you when you react to them is dope af ! You know your stuff. I think all the others are doing it for clout now 😆 you cool af tho! Love your channel ! 💜💜💜

The way my love, respect, and appreciation for the rapline just doubled, tripled, xx-ed in size after this one. Phew, man. So happy to see you appreciating them too.

Thats the one thing i love so much about bts is thier lyrics have meaning!

I think you are going to see him!! If so, you are in for it!! I saw him both nights in NY and it was amazing!!!! The vibe & positivity ARMY bring is incredible! Take time and chat with ARMY, it is part of the experience!

Seeing this live in 2017 in Anaheim was honestly life changing.. the whole crowd yelling I LOVE MYSELF gave me MAJOR goosebumps

1VERSE is his song. Check it out. 1VERSE by J-Hope.

That the thing with BTS. Whether it's the entire team, the rap line, the vocal line, or a mix...you don't and can't pick a fave...you just enjoy and listen to the music. They have toooooo many songs that are beyond good. Love the reactions and the way you break this down and what you get out out of the song or your interpretation. 💜💜💜

Did you get tickets to AgustD’s LA show?!? If that’s what’s up, I am SO excited for you! Just saw him in Chicago and holy sh&t, he’s AMAZING. I stood with my jaw dropped for two hours. Nobody is doing it like AgustD/Suga/Yoongi right now. 🔥🔥🔥

When a whole stadium joins in with the Ilove Iove........... it's insane 60,000 fans shouting those lyric's.

There is nothing like a stadium full of ARMY screaming “I love I love I love myself” with the boys. Absolute enlightenment.

I'm not gonna lie, Cypher pt4 feels like a great closure to the Cypher series. They don't have anything left to address to their haters, if they do they can do it in their solo projects but now when it's just the 3 of them they can do something different like Her or Ugh, so I'm fine with pt4 being the last one

Yes, verse 1 is jhope solo. Please 🙏 react to it. You enjoy it.

I'm not sure if this one is the best translation. Anyways, love your reaction man. Imagine the whole stadium screaming "i love myself" when they perform this 🔥 Can't wait for your next videos! Edit: Don't be too pressured by many songs to catch up. Take things in your own pace. We'll check you out, no worries!

All the cyphers are amazing, and shows their growth and maturity! I love all of them!

FINALLY omg I was on a waiting streak on your account 😂😂😂

They performed this live . Cypher Medley 2017 is the title of the video please watch it also is a bop 🔥🔥

Suga/Augst D is in CA right now doing 5 shows. He does the Cyphers along with his new album. I hope you can score a ticket and go because the concert is straight FIRE.

" 1 verse " is song of Jhope.. Uff es poderosa esa canción igual de los Cypher Uff that song by the Cyphers is powerful as well

Now it’s time for the live cypher medley!!! An iconic performance.

every time i watch one of your vids i think "his eyes are so pretty" but i cant remember if i've ever commented it 😅

Even Indigo which was released last December is still top 10 Global album charts alongside Smoke Sprite and DESLM... RM's music transcends time and is timeless. And Namjoon is very humble and says his inspiration comes from musicians like Nas, Lil Nas X, Wale, Drake, Pharrel, Khalid... He always shares his spotlight with others and is always publicly supporting African-American artists which you will NEVER catch anyone doing so often in the Kpop industry

I found BTS way after the Cyphers so I never thought I'd see them performed live but I just went to see Suga/Agust D in Chicago and he did his verses from 3 and 4. It was still a dream come true even if I didn't get to see the whole rapine version.

There's also BTS CYPHERS MEDLEY live performance Just search the one with English subtitles

I think you’d really enjoy listening to RM and Suga talk about their processes for making music - there are two episodes of Suchwita (Suga’s RU-vid show) where they have a great chat!

A good resource for ARMY and reactors is "Enjoy BTS More", who specializes in providing good translation to BTS live performances, as well as some lyric videos. One problem is that she once received a copyright strike for using official concert footage, so her videos rarely come up in searches. You'll have to go directly to her channel and search for songs there, instead of the general YT search. Right now she has put out several videos from Suga/Agust D's concert. Check them out! His performances are fire!

MY HEART ♥cause you put RM on the thumbnail, I insta-clicked, liked and subbed 💙 Finally RU-vid recommendations is doing me right!!!

💜🇧🇷💜RM and his lyrics never disappoint. 💜💜 All BTS members are talented.💜💜💜🥰💜💜💜💜
