Agust D 'Daechwita' MV (REACTION) | They Were NOT Ready For This!!

Tell us your FAVORITE song or songs on the new Agust D mixtape and WHY. We are going to read every response over the next few days 🤓💜

The fact that Yoongi literally has royal blood hits harder.

Daechwita is a Korean music played to notify the people that the King is coming out of his palace to go on his rounds. The people should bow when they see the king. It's also played when the Korean army marches out for battle.

Yoongi just said he took part in everything from producing, composing, arranging to the MV concept and the teaser.

lol right now yoongi is one of the most wanted producers in the industry, everything he produces for other artists is going to be undoubtedly number 1, he's nicknamed "the hand of midas" by the press, i think youre gonna have to put down more than a couple thousands if you want one of his beats😂

jungkook is fighting with Jin they both made a cameo. the way my heart flipped ya'll.

2:20 Blaze be like " they look familiar " 😂
Yeah, thats Jin and JK 😎

I'm ready to throw hands at his every flow change.

as you notice the mv doesn't have BigHit intro just like what we usually see on other BTS mv just because all mixtapes RM's MONO, J-Hope Hope World, SUGA's Agust D and D-2 are all credited to them

The Choreography Agust D has performed is the traditional Sword Dance , He has practiced for it a lot . At the end He is killing His past self Blong hair Agust D dethroned Him the creazy King , and Became emperor , king, boss ,Himself.

This songs slaps those people who say BTS is becoming extremely westernised

Blaze: "ask him how much he takes for beats"
AgustD: " who says time is money, my time is worth more than that" 😆

theory: "I ain't no weak pill-popper like you" refers to the Korean (usually hip hop) artists who take drugs just to look cool and be with the trend/imitating hip hop artists in America. More specifically, I think he's criticizing the ones that think they're the shit by taking drugs and being angsty, despite having a gold spoon and not understanding where this culture comes from- hip hop originated in (correct me if I'm wrong) South Bronx, which at the time was an economically depressed area that was predominantly African American. Wannabe, south Korean "hip hop" artists don't understand that struggle and don't even make an effort to. In conclusion, Yoongi doesn't stoop to their level in trying to attain fame and success, he didn't need to pop pills and "look cool" in order to earn his fame- he earned his fame because he's just that good at what he does, hence "I was born a tiger" and "born in a ditch but rise up a dragon"

Suga rollin in the car like Joker...The collection of heads in boxes...heads hanging...I just flipped my wig!

Blaze didn’t you just hear the man say his time is worth more than money??
You gonna have to pay that man gold and prescious stones for a beat man 😂😂

As a 50 year old white female, I only just discovered BTS (thanks Carpool Karaoke!) and I found myself drawn to Suga ( my bias as the kids say) but I couldn’t say why. This is why. Amazing.

I love how you guys love BTS. You enjoy every bit of their talent. And you get them...spot on. Your friendship & respect for each other's opinions of the videos you watch is beautiful. Thank you for saying they are masters of their craft. They work so hard at everything they do. That is why they are so loved. 💖

14:45 that picture is Bang PD nim XD it's an inside joke. The two dots are the eyes and the C is supposed to be his distinguishable nose lol

Can someone tell Yoongi that breathing is important.

Just so you know, Yoongi is actually a descendant of the last EMPRESS of Korea. So basically, our boy is ROYALTY.

“Ha ain’t just talking, he STRAIGHT talking”. 🤣 for real, tho!!

In the background when you asked about the drawing, that how the members like to draw Bang PD (Big Hit CEO). It's a big nose and eyes.
I think Jungkook started it and now they all love to draw him like that to tease him.

oh boy there's a lot to explain but here I go! hahaha
Daechitwa is the music heard in the begin, it's the Korean traditional music played for the march of a king or high official when the venture out and everybody bows down.
In the lyrics he mentions beserk Gwanghae. He was an infamous emperor in the 1600s of the Josen dynasty known for being one of the most ruthless and brutal. Back then he wasn't respected, didn't get the same title, temple or big fancy grave. However in modern times he's actually quite respected.
Now the scar. This is something interesting because it was said that a person with scars cannot ascend the throne, something along the lines of a belief that their bodies were precious and equal to the worth of an entire country so the fact Yoongi has a scar can symbolise how he has broken stereotypes or just how powerful he really is. Also Yoongi really loves scarface. hahaha
The painting you see is their CEO bang pd. The inspiration for that is a bit of an inside joke for long term armies. Years ago the members played a game almost like charades but instead the member had to draw the word and the others guess. JK drew bang pd with three strokes as RM put it and they got it instantly!
Also Jin and JK were the ones fighting in the beginning.
Theory
three heads on the balcony could symbolise the Big 3 power companies in the industry.
Blonde Yoongi is the one which is arrogant, and corrupt with fame and wealth. Black Yoongi can either be his past self as a poor boy from Daegu or his current self. Black self kills his alter ego perhaps symbolizing how he isn't going to be that person famous for simply 'flexing' or 'popping pills'
Linking to Jungian psychology this whole back killed blonde may be him also accepting his shadow as one in the same. instead of keeping him a separate persona he embraces him altogether. Honestly there is so much more I could day but this comment is long enough haha
if you listen then rest of mixtape please do it with lyrics. the song are quite sad but incredibly written and of course I will be back to offer some explanation! hahaha great reaction as always!

8:22 *The reason why he's the king of swag, because he literally takes control of any places at without trying.* Dude I wanna hug you for that!!! 😭😭

So how I interpret the whole video:
It all comes down to a line in The Last in his first mixtape, "And Min Yoongi? I killed him", this is AGUST D talking, that to prosper thru adversity and in this highly competitive industry he had to kill his real self and create a persona that could take all the hardships and use them to fire his greed for success, therefore, AGUST D was born. This video is Min Yoongi (black hair) retaking control from AGUST D (blonde) as the rightful emperor, Yoongi taking down the usurper as he no longer has need for a persona. Also, how do we know? While AGUST D is dressed in silks and gold he is missing something Yoongi has: an imperial jade pendant with a dragon engraved, the royal seal (Yoongi's car key), showing how he is the true emperor. The guy who was meant to decapitate Yoongi, is also the guy cutting the meat in the market, so this was a planned strike. Not only that, when Yoongi starts headbanging the other people there do not know he is the true emperor, but they recognize the strength in him, and so they mirror him, showing how he has the support of the people (you can see it all thru the video) while AGUST D stands in his palace alone.

In Joseon Dynasty, the executioner would drink, dance, pour/spit drinks on the sword before they execute criminals. 😎

I’m still shook and it’s been 24 hours since this mv released and I’m still watching it and watching other vids in between.I can’t stop listening to it on repeat and I’m still shook. The whole mixtape is fire. Literally can’t focus on my work.

Yes yoongi produce all his hits.. and especially his mixtape, btw he just did a live and said: i was involved in everything in this mixtape from the cover to the tracks.

The fact that he started as a producer with BigHit, never intending to be an idol, then became one of the biggest contributors to BTS, is amazing. They are all so insanely talented, but Suga consistently writes/produces and puts out hit after hit! Even his collaborations on others’ albums. Whatever he touches, GOLD!

He is the one who produced and composed it😁
Plus, idk if you noticed this but the executioner who freed him is the same dude who was cutting the meat at the beginning of the video (the butcher) . I guess the "folk" Yoongi made a plan with him to kill the "King" Yoongi
The King Yoongi is the old Agust D (from 2016) and the folk Yoongi is the current Agust D

Agust D is basically saying "you bringing a sword to a gunfight" -Indiana Jonas reference.

I love how the guys joined you and never left 😂

"They said time is money,
My time is worth more than that" -agustD
I love the reaction and I died because of his blond hair in a top knot I just came back alive to watch this

Y’all yoongi produce and write his own lyrics.

Yoongi snapped our necks like glowsticks and we thanked him for it! The whole mixtape is fire!

A historical drama where Yoongi plays the character of the twins: the tryant King Min of Joseon and the rebel brother Yoongi
The reason why they have both have an identical scar in their eye is because they were twins cursed at birth. The scar allows them to feel each other so every time that they're close to each other, their scar throbs painfully. At their tender age, they promised to each other that they would rule side by side but their parents had to separate them for their own good because the pain the scar gives to them was too much. King Min grew up in the palace while the other Yoongi grew up in poverty away from royalty. As young King Min was groomed to be the next King, he saw how his father poorly treated their people which made him think a lot of his brother's condition outside the palace walls. But as time goes by, without the presence of his other brother Yoongi as he grows, he grew more tyrannical and became paranoid from everything so when he has been crowned as the new King of Joseon, the people suffered even more under his rule. On the other hand, Yoongi who is away from the palace, experienced those unfair treatment and became a victim too as he grows, thus this led him to decide and that is to usurped the throne from his brother.
Only his brother can defeat him. And that's how King Min knows his rebel brother Yoongi is on his way to dethrone him.
-ctto-
Now thats daebak🔥😌

this track came in so hard no one in the world was ready! Suga is the one that got me into BTS and he killed it again!!!! damn this is soooo gooood!!!

I'm expecting a full mixtape reaction with lyrics breakdown . Please those lyrics are very important . As a BTS fanboy I was taken back

"BTS masters of their craft."
Yes Blaze! These are the facts 🙌🏼

when he mentioned bang pd, that writing back there was how they drew bang PD 😂 that scene really cracked me up 😂😂😂😂

His August D mixtape is awesome but I can’t help but notice how much he’s grown since then. As a producer, as a rapper, as an artist and most importantly as a person. He’s matured in every sense of the word. The track is fire and so is the rest of the mixtape.

The one Suga bummed into is Jin 🤣 and Jin were fighting with JK XD

The beat he rapped quietly while being blind folded reminds me of RM’s part in Ddaeng where he stutters. And of coz Jinkook fight as always 😂 😆 A goofy “So far away” reunion LMAO

Agust D produced the beat himself. He has received awards from his talented ability in making beats for other artists all over from East to West. Artist describe to him what they are looking for, and through how they describe it, he makes them a beat.

SO many historic references in this video. OMG!!! Like the reference to the "Crazy King Gwanghae-gun" at minute 1:07, who notoriously kept killing his subjects because they kept trying to dethrone him. It's a really dark part of Korean history. He was the 15th king of Joseon dynasty and ruled 1608-1623. I think the video relates to the basically lowly citizen Min Yoongi slaying the king just with his superior rap and music skills. This double entendre of Suga and BTS slaying all the haters just through their sheer talent is mind-blowingly brilliant.

One of the only major reaction channels who posted a reaction after a decent amount of time to make sure they didn't siphon off views. Respect.

Yoongi confirmed that he was involved in every part of this mixtape! From producing on all the songs, to the album cover and the MV! He's so incredibly talented and passionate about his craft.

this song is so fitting for him because he’s technically a member of the last royal family in korea. our yoongi is korean royalty.

I stumbled on Daechwita one day and was mesmerized from the first moment SUGA/Agust D showed up. I had ZERO context for the video, but was hooked right away! Now, that I've done a deep dive and understand the context of the song my mind is BLOWN! SUGA/Agust D is a master at everything he touches. I actually went looking to see if WhatchaGot2Say reviewed it. I knew you guys would love it and I appreciate your love of all things BTS!

did u know that yoongi is related to korea last empress so he really is a king

Agust D produced the whole album. Soo, HE IS THE KING, HE IS THE BOSS 🔥
Listen to D-2 is FIRE 🔥❤️
Btw, as soon as I clicked on your video, he went on V live w/ J Hope 😂😭😅

Ya'll be rocking your heads feeling the beat and being proud of Agust D! 😍😍😍

just a bit of information on the storyline!
kings werent allowed to have scars, but he does, so that's just another hint of how powerful he is!
also even blonde yoongi is a fake king because his scar is fresh, but black hair yoongi is the real king bc his scar is healed. that's why the man released him and gave him the gun.

I love the end of this mv so much. Think about it: he's tied up, blinded, about to be executed but he speaks up. By doing that he takes control. That's so powerful, I can't

At 2:18 I'm waiting for your reactions for this part hahahaha bet you didn't notice it but Jin and Jungkookie made a cameo at that part lmao..the never ending saga of jinkook fight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And also at 3:54 that drawing right there...it is originally jk's drawing of bang pd nim in the past.... and it does really looked a lot like pd nim with just 3 strokes HAHAHAHA

Yoongi wrote and produced the entirety of D-2!! there's a lot of references to korean culture in the mv is actually insane. First, "Daechwita" is the traditional music played when the king leaves the palace or when someone important goes to visit him (Nico was right!!), then of course the traditional sword dance the executioner did before he "beheaded" black haired Yoongi, drinking alcohol and spitting on the sword. Then the sword dance blonde haired Yoongi does (which is super complicated and he did it amazingly), when he says "Gwanghae flow" is a reference to king Gwanghae from the Joseon Dynasty known for being a despot; he asked his secretary to hire a man that looked like him just in case someone tried to assasinate him. There's another reference to king Yeonsan who was known for mass killing elites and their relatives, that may be the reason why blonde Yoongi is executing many people and keeping their heads in boxes. The line about locking something in a rice chest is a reference to prince Sado who died from starvation locked inside a rice chest by his father's order. The scar on his face is like the biggest flex of it all because in the Joseon Dynasty, no one from the royalty was a allowed to have scars. if you got a visible scar you weren't able to become king or queen, so Yoongi being a king despite the huge scar over his face means he is above the system. it could also be a reference to "Scarface" since Yoongi is a filmbro and in his first mixtape he put lots of quotes from the movie plus the track "Tony Montana." All the dragon and tiger references are related to the culture too. This mv is probably one of the best BTS has, imo. And Yoongi killed it too!!
Amazing reaction as always, guys!!💕 hoping to see that 1verse reaction soon, Nico 👀

I love how right after Daechwita, instead of just pressing replay you played other random videos before returning to the mv so the views would actually count. I appreciate that so much, thank you for supporting Yoongi 💜

He Came, He saw and Pissed on errrrbody in da' place! STRAIGHT BADASSERY!

He produced the album himself, they always do that on their solo projects. Daechwita is the king's march. The butcher in the beginning that "rebel Yoongi" is looking at is the executioner in the end that sets him free. Tae and Jimin is holding that bang pd picture for a second, and I'm sure RM and Hobi is there somewhere also! 😅 And ofc agust d brought a gun to a sword fight lol 😂 The rest of the album is also really good, very personal! I hope they get to live a little more normally during this time and relax 💜 It's also so cool that in every mv from their solo projects they always have 6 other things around them, shadows, people etc. representing bts 💜 Love it!

he said that from the production of the songs to the cover of the mixtape and the mv, he touched everything. he wrote everything together with 3 bighit producers and, of course, the collabs. daechitwa was written and produced by him and the idea of ​​traditional instrumentals was also his

It reminds me of the Korean movie “masquerade” otherwise called “the man who became king” it’s a historical drama about the Joseon Dynasty and the “mad king” who was ruthless and killed his opposition/opposers. The mad king was being threatened with death and this sent someone out into the streets to find a look alike to be his replacement. The king was poisoned a few days after and the poor man who looked so much like the king was trained to take his place. The poor man ended up being a better ruler than the mad king and ended up controlling the government and began to rule for the people and ruling the people through fear. The king and the poor man meet face to face and the king ends up dying. The poor man continues to rule but eventually gave up his crown to be ruled by others and lived the rest of his days among his people.
This MV is very Korean history heavy and I think suga was inspired by this tale but also used it as a representation of himself and his personas. He also relates it to his climbs from nothing to having it all and takin out his haters, his only competition is himself now. But it can also be a little about his own family history on how he is the descendant of South Korea’s last empress and has royal blood in his veins.
Suga Jin and Taehyung are all descendants of ancient prominent families/clans. Jin and Taehyung are from the same ancient clan and thus are distant relatives.

He is the one who produced composed and even written...he does his own songs

FINALLY!!! I know you'll wait for 24 hours after the MV released
And finallyyyyyy!
Fun fact:
- seokjin and jungkook cameo glad you knew it already
- yoongi is REAL a descendant of king from Joseon dynasty (last kingdom) and if the kingdom is still exist yoongi will probably becomes a king right now
Sorry for my bad english

I'm watching Daechwita with you for the first time! I'm soooooooooooooooo glad I waited. COME ON!

The fierce and badass persona of Yoongi / August D, hi s swag in short, is just so attractive and not off putting at all, in fact it adds even more to his great charisma...💜
FUN FACT: Yoongi (along with RM), is actually well spoken of by music industry insiders (both in the high and low positions), being known as one of the nicest, most respectful and kindest top tier artists they've ever worked with.

So it’s speculated that at the end of the song the gun fire is the gun fire you hear at the beginning of ugh! Because this song is his “useless anger” he hold and that was him killing this “useless anger” so he can direct it in a positive way. 🤔🤷‍♀️

My fave part on the MV is the one that Blaze also pointed out where the flow just got a lil toned down but he was still spitting fire. Where he was blindfolded. OMG that scene and the flow is out of this world. I had this on repeat in Spotify and I always wait for that part. Thank you for reacting to this really. Made my day!

this song was very traditional to me from the intro being a Korean instrument from the setting of the music video to the role suga played as a emperor or a king to Suga doing the Traditional Korean sword dance to the title of the song. I really like seeing Traditional Korean things.

I like the traditional beats in the beginning. Gotta say this whole ass mixtape is a bop 🔥

i know everyone is saying he looks like scar in Lion King, but for me he really looks like Kakashi of Naruto. 😁✌️
always loving your reactions guys. 😉🤟

Respect to yall for not uploading the reaction in the first 24 hours 💜💜 True armys!!

fun fact : this model of pistol is called "army"

Countless watching August-2 DAECHWITA the King 👑 the Genius and I am speechless 👏👏👏💜💜💜

I can't stop watching and listening to it ! He is unbelievable .
#AgustD is a genius

Correct me if I'm wrong but when he says "shove the past into a rice chest" he referred to Prince Sado being put into a rice chest by his father King Yeongjo.

Min Yoongi king of my heart! Raps faster than my wifi works and is never afraid to tell it like it is! Also I absolutely love when artists use traditional instruments in modern works- something about it just gets me.

Daechwita is the 9th track that he made. The MV took only 2 days to shoot. And Interlude: Set me free was written and produced just 2 weeks back! All the songs were written by him and produced in collaboration with some more producers. Max is a part of one of his tracks in D-2!

Was waiting for your reaction and it was - as always - worth it! :D

That in the painting is Bang PD 😂😂😂
Long time ago Jungkook draw him like that which really looks like him so now they put it in the MV.. I think that painting is enough for all ARMY to understand there is something related to Bang PD going on lmao

Suga overlooked all the production and everything. He was in charge of almost everything and he did a damn good job.

Love the juxtaposition of the high ranking king & the low ranking commoner each claiming " I'm the King, I'm the Boss". And perhaps both are true, where for one it was given and the other it was earned.

before i even watch just here to let you know i looked up "daechwita" and its basically the korean military drums being played before advancing the army. Love the content guys keep it up!

BANG! Then UGH begins.

Daechwita (literally "great blowing and hitting") is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching. When the king leaves his palace, huge lines form and all the commoners and servants bow their heads. In front of him are people with horns and instruments playing a song to notify that the king has left his palace and is going for a walk. The beginning of this song is a sample from an actual Daechwita. The starting off of a Daechwita is done by a solo lead of "Jibsa (sort of a conductor)" singing "Myeong-Geum-Il-ha-daechwita-harabsinda", roughly meaning "let the Daechwita begin". The command is served by musicians responding "yeah- yee".

I've seen a few fun reactions to D2 but this is the only reaction that matters. My dude prepping his glasses haha😂 reaction was🔥 thanks guys💜

OMG I am waiting for this. was contemplating on sending you guys a message the minute it got uploaded. Now I am psyched. I died when it was uploaded it was sneaky of him then he went YT live few minutes later. Lit AF.
GENIUS = AGUST D
please listen to the entire mixtape. you'll be taking a roller coaster ride of emotions. as always he won't disappoint.

Achievement of my life : I'm first 🤣🤣

For a few who don't know about the Joseon era/dynasty, the palace is called Gyeongbokgung, and the king who he is representing with the scar over his eye is GwangJong. He also references Prince Sado who was ordered by his father King Yeongjo to go into the rice chest and locked it. Agust D said to throw his past in it, which is truly history! Thought this might be helpful. He has a lot of bars that have more than one meaning. The slave, who he was, but is now free. He's never compromised! He is still the same person and fought his way to the top from his knowledge. Daechwita means play it loud, or great hit, and also victory. He won!

I adore suga's voice modulation and shift in flow he's so fond of in his verses, one of the many reasons why he is my bias

really small thing but It’s pronounced august like the month, not a-gust

suga produce all the songs in his mixtape this was supposed to be out last year but he said he's going to fix it i remeber he said it in bon voyage s4
pls react to the full mixtape borahae💜

Suga did it all himself,I don’t think he got much sleep he is a musical genius,loved this more please.🦜🐅🐅🐅

The part talking about the blindfolded part was really smart, didnt really think of that myself

The respect I have to the these men. Thats why I always love your channel. Worth the wait!!! Something to look forward right after 24hrs of the MV. 🔥🔥🔥

when blaze said the part he wanted to throw something at the screen. relatable. i wanted to punch something because of how fire this is

You can say Agust D like August 😊 and I've BEEEEEEEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

The whole album is a masterpiece... 😍😍😍😍

Our Min Yoongi is from the Yeoheung Min Clan and from royal line. I'm from Jeonju Yi clan

YAAAASSSS ! Been checking for this all day ! and I think this is the earliest I've ever been to a video lol

I was not ready too yesterday.....n still amazed by Yoongi
