Ep. 8 Agust D - 'Daechwita' MV

For everyone commenting or asking about Cory's statement on Suga listening to music, this is where is came from: In an interview with GQ Australia, the South Korean rapper and producer shared that he is trying to limit his exposure music in order to “carry on for a long time” as a musician. Suga had been deeply involved in the making of boyband’s music since their debut in 2013, and has been credited as a songwriter on the majority of their discography. “I don’t listen to music unless I’m working on my own music. I keep it as far from me as possible. I seek music only when I need it,” said Suga, adding that he felt that it was necessary in order to continue making music. He revealed he had adopted this approach around five years ago, and that he had used to like music “too much”. “If you love something too much, there comes a time when you have to give it up for that very reason. You need to keep it at a certain distance if you want to pursue it for a long time and if you don’t want to be consumed by it,” explained the 28-year-old musician. “If you give it too much meaning, it becomes very difficult to continue.” “I think it was the right move. I can let it flow naturally and not try too hard,” reflected Suga, who explained that it had also allowed him to learn to rely on his bandmates’ help when faced with issues. “Of course, I still have a sense of responsibility, but it’s nice to know that there are people who will catch me if I make a mistake,” said the BTS member.

BTS is definitely not bubble gum pop. It's just the only style that US radio will acknowledge from them. That's what makes a BTS journey so rewarding... A surprise at every turn.

Rolling Stone described Agust D as the machine gun of bts: "If SUGA is the persona Min Yoongi uses as a shield, Agust D is his machine gun." it was initially his raw tracks talking about his struggles with mental health plus social injustice in really chilling ways that brought me into bts.

It's so good to see that you guys research about artists and the backstory of the songs before reacting to it. Hope to see more such videos soon. I'm thankful as an Army.!💜

Army's correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Suga said the first cd he owned was by Eminem. His parents didn't know English so they didn't know what was being said/rapped/sang. I'm not an expert but I remember hearing this as Suga is my bias, I also love Em, and I laughed at the parents bit. 🙂 💜

fun fact: suga was initially brought on solely as a producer. he came from the Korean underground hiphop scene where he was basically selling his tracks on the street, to this day he jokes about how bang pd "tricked him" into joining bts as a member by promising him there won't be any dancing. -

Peach Soju is my favorite. Daechwita is a traditional style of music that was played to let the commoners know when the King/Emperor of the royal military was coming through; Hence "Play it loud". Yoongi is a whiskey connoisseur. It was Jin and JK. Suga is recognized as one of the fastest rappers in S. Korea. Fun fact: the pistol he uses at the end is legitimately called "Army". When he was recuperating from shoulder surgery, he said he thought about how ARMY always said that BTS music helps them when they're down... so he spent time listening to a bunch of their songs and said he understood what ARMY meant. :)

Thanks for the reaction! The music under Agust D does have a distinctly different sound than what's labeled as SUGA but if you ever get around to listening to the BTS Cyphers (especially the live performances, there should be some with english subs floating around, I recommend the cypher medley) the rapline goes hard on those too.

i love how you didn’t know if you wanted to call him suga or agust d 😂 that man has 4 personalities suga, agust d, and min yoongi , or grumpy grandpa when they wake him up from a nap 😭

You should react for more of his songs and you'll know who is Suga,Agust D, Min Yoongi and Lil Meow meow😂 FUN FACT ABOUT THIS SONG: DAECHWITA has only one beat for the entire song, you'll think it has different beats but it's just how Yoongi Raps

Now you need to see the mad king persona of Savage Suga: Agust D and Give it To Me. Two MVs, and one is a continuation of the other. Suga is my bias, he is an incredible artist and human being, although I love them all dearly. But his rawness always speaks to me. 💜💜💜

Suga is a great rapper, he is fast, aggressive, honest, not afraid to say what he thinks, sometimes even in spite of the label. He's my bias, I've never met a person like him. 1. You must react to Agust D - Agust D with subtitles! the daechwita is nothing compared to this. 2. You must react to bts cypher live in Madley too. THEY KILLED IT!

Suga is a damn musical genius and the whole way he produced this song with the rapping flows always blows me away. The whole concept of killing the blonde AgustD (from his first album) who is greedy and angry just killing his enemies to be a rebel a man of the people is also genius story telling. He buried a ton of historical Korean references on the Mv and lyrics.

Korean traditional military music, Daechwita (大吹打) Daechwita is a music that was used as an accompaniment when the king came or the army marched in the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the last gun that Suga shot was "Army" Colt army model 1860 Ps:The name ‘Agust D’ is the reverse of ‘DT Suga’ written in the lyrics. DT refers to Suga's hometown, Daegu, that is, D Town. He used the nickname "Sugar" abbreviated as "Sugar" as he was a basketball shooting guard.

You're right it was Jin and JK was the one hitting him with his back turned to the camera a bit!

Suga is literally one of the fastest rappers in the industry…He is Phenomenal. What is so impressive about Yoongi is that he is a lyrical genius and a beat mastermind. I’m so glad you guys liked this masterpiece.

What you said about suga not wanting to be influenced might be a mistranslation or misunderstanding. Because he has always names a lot of great rappers who influenced him throughout his whole career, he's done some samples too. What he said about not listening to music means he doesn’t listen in the period that he is making music so that he can focus more on his own production with a clear mind, sorta like working with a blank canvas and not looking at others' color palette.

Did y’all know notice how throughout the whole song the beat was the same and he was the one changing flows and playing with the beat and all

The thing with BTS is that one can't make assumption about them. The more you know them and the more you listen to their music...the more you'll get surprised at how diverse and amazing their discography really is. Thank you for reacting 💜.

Yes Jin was the one that bumped into Yoongi, and JK was the one that "fought" Jin. Personally I love the watermelon and then the strawberry flavored Soju, I haven't braved tasting the grape yet. Lol
