I was like you before, I didn't want to like BTS but here I am now inside the rabbit hole thanks to AgustD aka Suga aka Yoongi, 3 names for an amazing artist. He's a rapper who produces / composes /writes for BTS and also for other international artists, you should look at his work. If you're into Sakamoto you probably would love AgustD "Interlude Set Me Free" or "Interlude Dawn" also his song "People 1" or "People" Now if you want to feel something more intense go for his trilogy: Daechwita - Haegum - Amygdala in that order. Hope you enjoy the ride and don't be scared, BTS are real artists who write their own stuff, that's what makes them so amazing.
honestly i am so excited to go down this rabbit hole. i didn't even know i was gonna be reacting to BTS today so that shows how different my expectations were for how powerful this was. (i just watched the video again and read the lyrics and theyre great) my friend who is/was a BTS fan was talking to me about them after this video telling me so much stuff about them and i instantly have so much respect for all 7 of them. the way they built themselves from the ground up is crazy to me when thinking about "idol music" but i guess they're more than just idols at that point.
and yeah i never wanted to like them and while i've only listened to 1 song properly, i can tell my opinions are going to change drastically
@@compactrhythmSame, I had preconceived notion of them before 😂. But when I encountered BTS Suga's "First Love", I was like god-damn, they actually create such great music & it's quite obvious that he had written it.
Kpop in general don't actually write nor produce their own music, they're just performer's on stage hence termed "idol". However, BTS even before they had debuted, they already wrote songs like "School of Tears" & I was very impressed since I knew that since from the beginning of their career all members had participated in creating their music.
I honestly like all BTS songs
except their Full English songs since it ain't written by them.
You better check out Agust D's work "D-2" mixtape.
@@rafaelsmith5737 Those non English one's served a purpose they were fun unlifting get you dancing again cheer you up which is what they were for due to covid. We needed them at the time and it's was more accessible to different people across the world being in English. So I don't dislike them I can enjoy them for what they are fun fun fun.
@@eileencritchley4630 lol, you don't have to be defensive, I never said I hated those songs.
Those songs are great in their own way cause it really showcases the real power of pop music.
If you are worried about people getting disappointed in the pausing, try listening to the whole song once, then listen a second time, pausing and reacting to the lyrics.
To get the whole song you would need to understand the lyrics, in this video because of the worry about pausing , you did not really get to read any of the lyrics, the lyrics to this are very deep,the song is more than the piano, it is the music and the lyrics, that make the experience.
and this was bascially the last song Mr. Sakomoto did before he passed. His daughter is a fan of BTS too and she had all praise for Agust D.
Woosung is a vocalist from the band The Rose. They have a lot of songs in English. You might like their song Back to Me. Agust D is pronounced like the month of August. And is the alter ego of Suga from BTS. Agust D is Suga spelled backwards plus DT for Daegu town, which is his hometown. His solo songs are always full of deep meaning. None of BTS’ English song are representative of their music as a whole. Their Korean songs are mostly written or co written by the members themselves, and produced or co produced by the members. Whereas their English songs were written and produced by outside people. I’m not sure what music you usually listen to, but BTS has songs across multiple genres. Everything from R&B to hip hop to pop, Jazz, Latin, EDM, and rock. Even some stuff with a reggae like beat. (They don’t have any country songs though, so if that is your jam you might not find anything you like) most people can find at least a couple of BTS songs that they can vibe to. Each of the members also has solo music, which they released before enlisting for their mandatory military service in South Korea.
the pronunciation of his nickname does not sound like the month of August, it is his nickname in the group in reverse: AGUST D -Daegu Town SUGA
Well... RM did "Seoul Town Road" which is a remix of "Old Time Road" so technically...
I agree, I think @compactrhythm can enjoy listening and reacting to The Rose. I love BTS, being a 60 years old grandmother, I never thought I would, but here I am, appreciating the fabulous talent and great work these guys have done. Please, please, please, react to The Rose, too, and I think a good place to start is Back to Me, they write the lyrics and play the instruments. Looking foward.
Their live performance of ‘Back To Me’ live is chef’s kiss! I have had an obsession with Woosung’s voice since ‘She’s In The Rain’ in 2018.
This was a fan made MV and the clips are taken from a Disney+ documentary called D-Day, which is also the name of Suga/Agust D's most recent solo album. This song, Snooze, is on that album. It's one of my 2 favorite songs from that album actually. Yes, Suga is a songwriter, composer and producer. He's also produced for others outside of BTS and he isn't the only producer for BTS. All 7 members can now produce music; however, given how hectic and hard their schedule has been for the last 11 years, they utilize in-house producers mostly. For solo work, though, Suga/AgustD (real name: Min Yoongi) produced most of his own stuff. He did get to meet Mr. Sakamoto who was a great inspiration to him. Suga plays piano and guitar.
Not mostly. RM, Suga and J Hope do produce and compose most of their songs. They also have help of their in house producers as well of course..
Suga was the primary producer in the beginning, along with RM. Both of them are exceptional lyricists. Suga is still credited still on most BTS songs.
Suga from bts. He has many great songs.
They're the legends. The lyrics are the most important thing in their songs.
Oh thanks i looked up the members names and couldn't find "Agust D" i see now. Do you have any recommendations on where to start with them/him?
You can react to their mv for song "On". czcams.com/video/mPVDGOVjRQ0/video.htmlsi=PgemGTLnBrzAlI5X
Suga/Agust d recently released an album called D-day. You can react to that album, songs are amazing with lyrics.
thanks so much. i'll try to focus on the lyrics in that song if i can keep up with the rapping :)
@@compactrhythm you can stop the video whenever you want
you're right haha. i'll get around to this asap because i keep playing this song on repeat and want to hear what else they have
Hi, I check a lot of people who make reaction videos and I think you are the first person who was led to Agust D (Min Yoongi or SUGA of BTS) music through Ryuichi Sakamoto. The video you watched was a fan-made edit and it included a lot of clips from a documentary about Agust D creating his last album, D-DAY. In the said documentary, there is a part where they show Yoongi meeting with Ryuichi Sakamoto who had a big influence on Agust D music and how he developed as an artists.
I bet a lot of people in the comment section will say that lyrics are a huge part of BTS music and you should pay attention to it. I agree, they have a lot of meaningful songs. But seeing that you want to immerse in melody and lyrics seems to kind of distract you from it, I would recommend you focus on the music and lyrics separately (either read lyrics before you play a song or after). It would take some time, but as BTS fan myself, I think ignoring lyrics would take a lot from their art and message.
I'm not sure what is your music taste but I have a feeling songs like "Butter" might not be exactly your cup of tea. BTS (as a group and solo artists) have a wide spectrum of music styles and genres they try out so I'm sure there will be songs you would enjoy.
I will leave here a few titles I personally like and think you might enjoy from each BTS member:
- RM "Smoke Sprite" and "Yun"
- Jin "The Astronaut"
- Suga "First Love" "Shadow"
- j-hope "More" "Blue Side full version"
- Jimin "Lie" "Alone"
- V "Singularity"
- JK "Still with you"
- BTS "Your Eyes Tell" "Blue and Grey"
Ahh thanks so much I really enjoy reading comments like these. It makes me so much more excited to listen to more. Reading the lyrics beforehand is a good idea and I might do that for the next one. Do you Think I should jump straight into BTS to get a bit more context on who these guys are before reacting to their solos?
@@compactrhythm I personally think that jumping straight into the music itself is like an introduction to bts cus a majority of bts songs tend to be about themselves.
First love by suga (wings album by bts) for example, the lyrics are gorgeous and uses a piano as a metaphor for his relationship with music as a child.
The Wings album by bts has 7 solo songs that is about the 7 members. And the whole album theme is based on a book called demian by Herman Hesse and is about temptations, pain and growing up. So a full album like that maybe a great introduction to bts members and may help differentiate between each member and what solo songs vs bts songs sound like.
@@compactrhythm Hmm... Ok, so here is what I think. In my opinion, music should come first. You might not like all the songs but their style and messages evolve quite a lot and many ARMY (BTS fans) have their personal favorite "eras" and albums. Explore.
There are a few albums that include group songs and solo songs (one for each member) - maybe it would be a good way to start? This way you can get to know them as a group but also focus on one member at a time, pay attention to their vocals, and learn who is who? Those albums are: "WINGS", "Love Yourself: Answer" and "Map of the Soul: 7".
It might be a good idea to check their solo projects first before you check their music as a group?
Depends on you - it took me a moment to learn who is who (but I got to know them in 2015 before they started individual projects) and I think I would process all the information better if I started to get to know them one by one.
It is a lot of fun to learn about them!. Since they started doing solo projects one BTS member - SUGA - created his own show called "Suchwita" as a way to give other BTS members a platform to talk about their solo music in a friendly environment. So for each member and their solo project, there is one or two episodes of "Suchwita" - Yoongi and his guests chat over food and drinks about music, inspiration and some stories from their part. It is a nice way to get to know them through your own eyes, without the bias of fan-made introduction videos (they are often informative but not always objective and up to date so if you watch those, take it with a grain of salt).
Honestly everyone will have a different opinion so you should do what makes sense to you. We will follow along. it is your journey. Do what makes you happy and what makes sense to you as a musician. I can tell the beats and melody is the driver for you so follow that. Music is personal and let it be that way for you.@@compactrhythm
I listened to BTS for over a year and a half before I really paid attention to lyrics. After I started paying attention to lyrics, I did find a couple songs that I wasn't as interested initially (I prefer upbeat songs) but are now favorites because the lyrics meant something to me. But, being a reacter makes it difficult to ignore the lyrics all together.
I like op's suggestion to check out the lyrics before or after the video. Another option would be to watch the video twice, focusing on the lyrics probably the second time because most of their videos are eye catching enough, you will forget you are supposed to be reading the lyrics if you try to do that the first time through! 😂
Love Smoke Sprite! 💜
I read a person commenting that they only likes BTS music in 2013-2019. Just a reminder that this is just one person's opinion.
I personally love BTS music from every era. In 2020 they released "Map of the Soul: 7" and "Be", which contain many beloved songs among their fandom, called ARMY. Starting 2022 they began to officially release solo work and each of their albums have done well. (No, they're not breaking up. They're currently doing their mandatory military service and will reunite in 2025.)
Their English trilogy "Dynamite", "Butter", and "Permission to Dance" might not have deep lyrics that their Korean songs usually do, but that doesn't mean they're bad songs. They're good, fun songs, meant to lift the spirits of people during the pandemic, and they certainly did that. "Be" is their pandemic album, containing songs in Korean, which explore the collective experience with deeper lyrics.
I'm all for good fun songs lol. I don't typically listen to music for the lyrics but I definitely appreciate good ones so even if it doesnt have a deep meaning, as long as the music is good, that's all that matters to me
@@compactrhythm I share this thought, I appreciate talent, and when I found BTS (or BTS found me) I honestly didn´t pay much attention to lyrics, I personally love to see them dance, and later I learn to appreciate their different voices and "flavors". I read the lyrics because specially with the rappers, I cant keep up. I don´t speak Korean and English isn´t my first language (so, probably you notice it 🙂). Anyway I really like them. Please keep going.
@@fllwyrblssw9289 OMG, sorry, so sorry, I didn´t realize it. Thank you for the correction. I´ll be more careful.
I so agree. I genuinely love a lot of their newest music and I think it's really cool to see the ways they grow and change as people and artists in the way they make music. Also, as artists I think it's ok to experiment and try new things with their sound. I don't think it means they're selling out or losing their touch or whatever. They love music so of course they'd wanna try other types of music.
This is such an incredibly beautiful song and you literally talked over 90% of it
I'm so agree with you! I had to stop listening before it was finish cos it felt insulting and really enjoying towards one of the most beautiful songs I know. This guy need to learn to stop talking if he want to get followers!
Wow. I’ve never seen a more chaotic reaction. Maybe it’s better to do a bit of research first. The singer is Agust D, a member of BTS. He highly respected Sakamoto and wanted to meet and work with him. The featured vocalist is a member of a group called The Rose. The lyrics are very important, but you repeatedly asked question s in a panic instead of paying attention to the video. You say BTS fans are crazy but that was the craziest reaction I’ve ever seen.
Woosung is from a korean rock band called The Rose
Thanks so much. I'll hopefully check them out soon because his voice is so addicting in this song
His voice is beautiful
Woosung has a beautiful voice. Snooze is my recent favorite from August D If you like rock try the Rose they’re great
he is very good. @@compactrhythm many of us did not know him but after this we started checking out their band songs, lol. BTS always introduces us to new artists.
FYI - the only people that don't like BTS are people that do not know them. Or that think "Butter" or "Dynamite" is representative of their immense body of work. As Suga (aka Agust D) says "You’ll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice." Will you like all of it - probably not because they do so many genres, but you will be blown away by their talent - lyricists, musicians, dancers & performers. But more importantly by their humanity - caring, wise, humble, and funny as heck. Dive deep enough and you will not walk away untouched.
So glad you reacted to Snooze, 💜 too bad you didn't read the lyrics. Suga is a lyrical genus, the lyrics are one of the most important parts of the song. 💜
This song was written for all the young followers and the idols who come after BTS. Suga is giving words of wisdom and encouragement and support. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for reacting to this song! It was so nice that you went along with the ride, even though it wasn’t what you expected. BTS ARMYs will fill you in on info and give suggestions, including fan made explanation videos for for some songs because a lot of their lyrics are deep and have cultural references and language play that’s hard to pick up on as a non- Korean, but definitely worth watching to get a full appreciation of the songs. They do all types of genres, so some might not be your favorite, but keep listening and you’ll find one that is. Some fans don’t like Butter and Dynamite because they’re not deep, but they’re not meant to be. The group made them and released them during pandemic because they knew everyone was having a hard time and felt fans needed something fun and light and happy sounding to cheer them up. They also have songs like Life Goes On and Blue & Gray that express more of the feelings of what people were going through during that time, as well as over a decade’s worth of other music. It’s okay to be a BTS fan. ARMYs are all ages, genders, and races from around the world. ARMYs can be very passionate, but that passion comes from a place of joy and if you learn more, you’ll see that it also gets directed towards creating a better world through charity work and supporting love for yourself and others. I hope you go on a BTS journey, even if it’s offline, that helps you appreciate how special they are. Borahae! 💜
Thanks for watching. I've been trying to read all the comments but they all came so fast and there's a lot of paragraphs but not a single one I have found uninteresting. I guess I missed out on a lot of good music over the last decade. I am 100% going on a BTS journey whether it's on the channel or not because I have read so much about what makes this group great. I also learned that the lyrics are very important after rewatching the video specifically to read along. I'm not one to feel impacted by lyrics but they really made me feel special. If there is more music like this (which people have said so) then I am ALL in on these guys. I've been looking on their Spotify profile and I am amazed at how much music they managed to fit into 10 years excluding all the solo projects
I think my favorite track by Suga [aka: Yoongi/Agust D] is first love, from the BTS album, wings. Don’t let the title fool you, it’s not a straightforward love song, it’s about his relationship with Music, and it hits hard.
Yep they are hard workers. They have created way more music than older bands because they wanted to find more ppl who can listen to them. @@compactrhythm
@@ElwoodShortmy favorite too😊
@@ElwoodShortand "so far away" with "stay alive(prod. by SUGA)"
Suga/Agust D (he goes by his second name for his solo work) is part of the biggest group in the world - BTS.
The group consists of 7 members (including 3 rappers and 4 vocalists) from South Korea.
1. RM ( rapper, leader ) September 12, 1994 - 29 years old
2. JIN ( vocalist ) December 4, 1992 - 31 years old
3. SUGA/AGUSTD ( rapper) March 9, 1993 - 30 years old
4. J-HOPE ( rapper) February 18, 1994 - 29 years old
5.JIMIN ( vocalist ) October 13, 1995 - 28 years old
6. V ( vocalist ) December 30, 1995 - 28 years old
7. JUNGKOOK ( vocalist ) September 1, 1997 - 26 years old
They collaborated with a lot of artists such as: Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Juice WRLD, Wale, Lauv, Fall Out Boy, Warren G,
Jason Derulo, Erykah Badu, Muni Long, Anderson .Paak, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Halsey, Becky G, MAX, J.Cole,
NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, Desiigner, Coldplay, Lil Nas X, Charlie Puth, Usher...(+more)
As a group BTS have a huge amount of songs(300+).
They are all songwriters and music producers,
most of their work is very meaningful, so reading the lyrics is really important.
They make music in a lot of different genres and styles (Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, EDM, Latin Pop, Ballad, ...+).
Each of them is very different, and all of them make their own solo stuff
so depending on what kind of music you are interested in, you really have a lot to choose from.
I would be grateful if you could describe what type of music you listen to or what style you like,
then I would recommend you a few songs, that I think would suit your musical taste.
woah thanks so much. that's an extensive list of collaborations and it's impressive. I was watching the video earlier today to specifically read the lyrics and while i'm not korean and don't see all the little details, I'm amazed at how meaningful it is. It made me feel special if you know what I mean.
I'm not sure BTS fits the typical genres that I am familiar with because I listen to lots of metal/rock but I think listening to this soft meaningful song was a great contrast that I needed. It might be difficult to find anything like that so i would appreciate it if you recommend songs that might be their most popular or iconic or just something that shows off what these boys can do. it's good for me to step out of my comfort zone every once in a while
@@compactrhythm you know what, I really wanted to recommend you some songs right now, but at this point I think that you should just watch this video, it is perfect for you. I hope you will check it out.

- AgustD is a rapper/producer/writer/composer from BTS.
- This is not an official video, but fanmade, the videos are from his documentary and a live performance.
- BTS is known for their lyrics, so paying attention to them is usually encouraged.
- No one cares about pausing, specially if you have things to say.
- Woosung is a vocalist from a band called The Rose.
- Yes, all of the BTS members are musicians (this one I didn't really get?).
- Yoongi (Suga/AgustD) is a big Sakamoto fan.
- ? I really didn't understand the class comment, but Yoongi is 30yo.
- Sakamoto was playing the piano, yes.
thanks. the class comment was an unnecessary joke i made so dont think too much about it (i love how you answered it though). i'm definitely gonna go deeper into this group though
Yoongi's age be 28 soon(international age) like Seokjin's age
@@jackcomeback1758 u crazy lol he's from 93, and Seokjin from 92, they'll be 31 and 32 soon (in international age)
..Some important facts that I wrote down a few days ago and I thought you could/should read it too
I 1000% agree. Well said. Borahae 💜🫰💜
I heard a lot about how "they changed my life" and i guess that's why I never wanted to be a part of the fandom (this was years ago). I thought it was crazy to say that about music but after watching this video again to focus on the lyrics by myself, I GET IT. nah I dont think you heard me. I GET.... IT. Anyways, onto the next song before I over play this song so much that I start to hate it :)
@@compactrhythm there is a saying among bts and army that "bts finds you when you need them the most".. I believe in that too, so I think there is a reason why you stumbled onto them now and are starting to understand the love and passion etc :)
(trust me I was 2 years ago as clueless as you.. you wont believe how fun and beautiful it can get if you stay a bit openminded! borahae 💜
ah i don't think i've ever been more excited to make reaction videos on this channel since the early days. this is just so different and i need to approach it in a different way. i really appreciate all the comments telling me what i missed even if they're rude about it because i get people are passionate
@@compactrhythm im happy that you are excited! I am as well to watch your reactions! You won’t be disappointed!
Also.. don’t focus too much on the harsh/negative comments .. as you said it’s coming often from the passion and love.. also the fandom is gigantic so it might seem scary to get more comments than usual which also means more possible negative/immature comments!
Do your thing and don’t feel pressured to react to BTS the way they want you to..even tho i am mostly gonna agree with them.. haha..
find your own way of discovering them.. but also listen to Armys and what they recommend if that makes sense😂
Most importantly: have fun and enjoy the ride!
This was the most distracted reaction, especially for engaging an artist you admittedly are unfamiliar with. The song is an extremely deep and compassionate message to younger artists by a highly respected OG. I was hopeful when I saw a newbie engaging Suga of BTS (Agust D) but the jibber jabber felt like you were much more in tune with hearing yourself than the track. You certainly can express what you feel you need to express but with more respect for the material would have made for a better reaction. Your like percentage is low because you were more interested in hearing yourself than actually doing a reaction once you integrated the material or sections thereof.
Woah. Chill bro. He post reactions cuz he wants. Don’t watch him if u don’t like. Quit giving kpop fans bad reps.
@felixfriedchicken0892 I speak for myself, not any group. Typically I don't get any likes, but this one has 47 after 10 hours. Seems like there are others who saw what I saw. Criticism helps him up his game and helps his algorithm. It makes him produce better reactions in the future which will grow his channel. It is for him to digest no matter how much you feel he needs you to be his guardian angel.
Well said! I found this, so called reactor, to be rude and disrespectful to the artist. He said “I don’t know what he’s yapping about” really? Try reading the captions!
@@felixfriedchicken0892 I'm so agree with him/her! And he definitely not making K-pop fans bad impression, it's the opposite! I follow a few musicians /producers here who goes true new artist with respect, yes they can laugh or joke, but with the artist not off them. This was just a annoying joke!
I think he was just trying to absorb all the information which can be difficult when someone feels under pressure to do a reaction 'correctly'.
ARMY giving a little grace, patience and constructive criticism is always appreciated. 💜
I'm always fascinated by people who don't like things that they know nothing about. So you didn't want to listen to and/or like BTS? That's cool. Sakamoto thought enough of them to work with one of them.
You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss them.
Let me try to answer all of your questions. You can obviously look the information up, but I can explain from the perspective of a fan.
BTS are basically a team of living legends in the Korean music industry and have been making music for 10 years now.
Agust D/SUGA is 1 of 7 members of the team and he is also a producer.
His name is pronounced
Ah-Gust D.
The team has 3 rappers (Suga, RM, J-hope) who are also the writers, composers and producers and 4 vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V and JungKook).
Their main genre influences are hiphop, rnb and edm pop.
Agust d have said many times that Ryuichi Sakamoto is one of his influences as a producer.
The video clips used here of both Suga and Mr Sakamoto are from his documentary Road to D-DAY. And I think this song is also one of his last collaborations before he passed away.
The docu shows him meeting several artists and also producing his album D-DAY.
And yes thats his studio in the videos. And yes he plays both piano and guitar.
Woosung is the vocalist of a band called The Rose.
Also there is nothing wrong with being a bts fan. Anyone who genuinely likes music tend to like bts due to their genrelessness. BTS uses genre to convey emotion. Happy songs might be edm, moody ones sound jazzy, heartbreak is rnb, political ones are hiphop, romance is ballads, celebratory songs have rock influences.
And their writing style is always evolving as the band members keep learning new things.
It's a unique take on music.
I haven't seen many artists who have the balls to do this.
A lot of bts fans are people who listen impartially to all kinds of music.
So there is something for everyone and every situation.
Considering they have been in the industry for 10 years they have a huge discography with like close to 300 songs. And they also each have solo music. So it's basically endless music content for someone new.
If you are indeed planning to jump into this rabbit hole I would go with like full Album listens. That's the best way to respect an artists work.
D-day by agust d for example. (It is hiphop)
There is nothing that explains an artist better than an album.
You're so correct about that last statement. as much as music videos are cool, at the end of the day, they are just an advertisement for the rest of an album and usually work better in the context of an album. i'll still do MV reactions to start off but album reactions will be a blast to do later down the line.
Thanks for telling me how to pronounce his stage name too. I have been just talking to myself while listening to this song saying "ayo agust- wait how do i say it?" and nobody corrected me until now so i can sleep at night knowing how to say it properly. i am definitely going to check out that documentary soon too. so much stuff for me to dive into it looks like
Wow! I love your explanation of BTS and their varied song genres! i am a newer Army (about a year now) and one of the reasons I love them is that there is SO much to love! They have ballads and rock and rap and edm and pop and on and on (pun intended! iykyk). And you are right that many of their fans, including me, listen to all kinds of music. If you love all kinds of music, then you will love BTS. Period. Unfortunately, many westerners only like one type of pop/rock and cannot open their minds to more. Thanks for your take on BTS. I like it!
@@compactrhythm I do agree that the music is the most important and the mv's are usually the most commercially friendly ones, however BTS puts so much into everything they do and there is a lot of nuance in the mv's that add to the songs.
Perhaps a compromise? Do an album listen and then do a few mv's or lives on separate reactions? It will allow you to focus on different aspects of their music without having to sacrifice one for the other.
Either way welcome and enjoy 💜
@@katmartiny8489 It fascinates me now individualistic each of our introductions to BTS's content can be. For me, it was the metaphors and symbolism in the music video for "Blood, Sweat, and Tears." The superb dancing came as a surprise. I only played the captions and understood the lyrics later. Eventually, I realized the song was permanently in my head and a part of who I am. 😊
Borahae! 💜
I enjoy reading the comments and your responses. You seem like an open-minded person. I know ARMY can be overwhelming with our numbers and our long essay-like comments LOL.
Since you've already started with Suga/Agust D, I'd suggest staying with him to get to know him a little bit more before moving on. I recommend his trilogy of MVs, in this order: Daechwita, Haegeum, Amygdala. The songs themselves tackle different themes (a diss track, a social commentary, and a personal story), but the MVs are connected by their symbolism and narrative. Note: Daechwita is a genre of traditional Korean music that's performed when the army is marching or the king is coming. Haegeum is a term for the liberation from the forbidden. Amygdala is the part of the brain that processes memories and emotions, including traumas.
Just from seeing how you're replying to comments I can tell you're gonna be in for a wild ride. Despite your comments in the video you do seem very open to having your mind changed on what may be a few pre-conceived notion you have of what BTS is and what their music sounds like. I honestly don't even know where to start as far as song suggestions, but if you're really interested in giving BTS an honest chance I'd be more than happy to make a little list for you
yes, i've been quite active replying in the last 2 hours sorting by new and really appreciate what everyone has been saying about reading the lyrics especially. for song suggestions, lots of people have named a billion different songs from each member and the whole group so i think my main request from you is to tell me whether I should dive straight into BTS or continue with SUGA's solo projects for now
@@compactrhythm i think you should continue with suga's solo projects and then group he is really amazing and he has a special place in our hearts because of his music 💜
@@compactrhythm Hummm... it's pretty much up to you. But I do suggest that if you chose to stick with only the solo work for now, that you give a chance to a least one song from each member, bc they all have solo careers and they all do very different genres from eachother, and as fans we like to give love and support to all of them. IDK much abt your music preferences, but there are things to appreciate in every member's solo work even if it's not a genre you usually listen to. V's solo work is usually R&B and Jazz, and altough those are not ususally genres of music I listen to, many of his songs have made their way into my playlists bc of how captivating they are (winter bear, For Us and Rainy Days come to mind). You don't have to like every song you listen to from a BTS member or even BTS as a group, and any real fan will say the same thing, as long as you give them a chance and are respectful of the work they put in, no one will have a problem with you listening to a member's solo work or group song and not being really into it, so don't be afraid to say your honest oppinions.
The seven members solo suggestions (3 rappers and 4 vocalists):
- RM or Namjoon (leader, rapper): Wildflower, Forever Rain, All Day
- Suga or Agust D or Yoongi (rapper): Shadow, Never Mind, Daechwita
- J-Hope or Hoseok (rapper): On the Street, More, P.O.P (piece of peace)
- Jin or seokjin (vocalist): Abyss, The Astronaut, Tonight
- V or taehyung (vocalist): Rainy Days, Slow Dancing, Winter Bear
- Jimin (vocalist): Set me free pt.2, Like Crazy, Alone
- JK or jungkook (vocalist): Standing Next to You, Yes or No, Too Much
OFC these are just suggestions, I know how daunting it can seem bc they have A LOT on their catalog, and fans (ARMY) will suggest you their entire discography of over 400 songs over the last 11 years if they could. So take your time, and give the attention and care each song you chose deserves, and if you get confused abt lyrics don't be afraid to ask questions, they sing and write in another language so not every translation is 1 to 1.
If you do chose to do group songs, as per the members own suggestion for beginners, I recommend you listen to the songs on their anthology album "Proof" (specifically the songs from disc 1 in order), bc they compiled the songs they think will give ppl a good introduction to BTS music, the songs range from their debut in 2013 to the last album they put out before taking a break to focus on their solo projects and also join the south korean military which is mandatory.
I used to think I wouldn't be into BTS music and rejected them for the longest time bc they were so popular. Huge mistake on my part. Everything I thought I knew abt BTS and their music I had to throw out the window as I started to learn more abt them and listened to their music. I wish I had given them a chance earlier. But as the saying goes, "you don't find BTS, BTS finds you when you need them the most". You'll have fun.
When he said he was gonna ignore the lyrics my heart broke into a million pieces T-T the lyrics are so beautiful ,nice reaction tho
Thanks for the reaction. I wonder could you possibly pause when you talk otherwise you miss the meaning of the song. It's very emotional and heartfelt. Agust D(Suga)is a brilliant producer and songwriter, rapper. All of the guys in BTS are wonderful
100% doing that in my next one
Thank you :)@@compactrhythm
BTS is NOT mid. Their all English songs are cute, but not really representative of all they are about. Try 'Mic Drop'; 'Singularity'; 'ON Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima' or any of their Korean songs. Two of the rappers in BTS were underground rappers before joining BTS.
somebody else suggested "ON" is that the same as what youre suggesting or is it a different song?
@@compactrhythm It's the same song, but they did 2 different videos - the one I suggested is a performance video where you can put faces to voices easier (at least it was for me)
@@compactrhythmThey've got a very diverse catalog. You'll be surprised.
Fyi. There are 5 versions of ON
Asking when this video is from because of a Supreme logo while wearing an Oasis shirt…. 😂😂😂 Suga is a musician, songwriter, and producer. Woosung is the lead vocalists and guitarist of The Rose.
I like that you know Sakamoto and it brought you to a truly great rapper/composer/producer/singer like Agust D (Suga). But for the love of Pete, try to talk less during the song! Just pause the video when you want to comment. One of the reasons I like watching reactors is I want to see them experience the joy of the song and then hear their opinion. How can you get anything out of the listening if you are not listening? This is a truly beautiful song. The music and lyrics pay homage to Sakamoto, one of Suga's idols. Hope you really listen to it on your own!
I'm not so familiar with the brand Supreme, but what's the deal with it? 😅 And bro, if you don't want to be a BTS fan that's fine lol! Preference is a huge factor when listening to music. We're cool about everyone not liking BTS, we just don't like it when people are being xenophobic or pass bad judgment on them based on stigmas and prejudices without first listening to their music.
Oh my, what a disrespectful reaction. 🙄 Why did you even react to it if you are not interested? You were talking all the time. Did you never think that there could be a reason why Ryuichi Sakamoto featured this track? This song is a masterpiece and he had high respect for Suga. And you didn't even bother to listen.
OK. This was rough ngl. For anything BTS or any of their solos you can PAUSE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED! We will watch! You can not pause all you other stuff if that is what you want. But since your inclination is to pause, I would go with that! Trust yourself. You can always watch it through for lyrics and then rewatch for the flow or vice versa. Their lyrics are actually deep and meaningful. This one he wrote to comfort those in the industry who are up and coming and suffering and working so hard not knowing if their efforts will pay off. He got to visit Sakamoto in the last year of his life. There is Documentary about the making of his album called DDAY and that meeting is included. Agust D (pronounced like the month of August) is Suga of BTS (which I am sure has been explained) and he has always been the biggest fan. He said they made an excuse to do some work where he was living but his main goal was to get to visit him and share his song with him. It was pretty special. I actually think you would love BTS (despite you declaring you don't want to like them). I feel ya. I am a punk girl from birth. And grew up WAY AGAINST what I perceive as Boy Bands and that is how everyone in America pubs BTS is just a boy band. But I've come to find out so much more and hate when they are categorized like this. First) They have always been part of the creative process and have written their lyrics and beats. Second) They got their start in HipHop and tried adding vocals and choreo from the KPOP world at a time when that wasn't really a thing. As a result they were shunned by both the HipHop and Kpop world. So they said screw it and did their own thing in their own way and now everyone tries to copy that format. Third) They are big on what they say. It comes from their hearts and souls and when something does seem like it may be a love song it is most likely a song for their fans called army. Their lyrics are also typically meaningful on several levels, so if you just want to stop at the basic level you can but there are usually explanation videos that show what was going on additionally. RM is brilliant and writes most but Suga (this guy) started out hoping just to be a rapper and producer and has even won awards for producing songs for others. They all have written and produced various BTS and now solo songs. Fourth) Keep your mind open and don't be scared. You said BTS fans are crazy and some are but if you actually give them a chance and read lyrics (even if you don't like a song) it is okay and the actual fans (army) will support that. Fifth) They are all about spreading positivity and making the world a better place. If you want, there is an incredible 47 minute documentary called Bangtan Guide to BTS by Taylor Mari. I promise you, it is worth a watch and if you react to it, pause as much as you need to read and comment. Some of us have watched it many times and will return to watch it again. So long as you don't talk over it. Just pause and talk... that is not a problem at all. Seriously... I imagine you think it is weird right now, but from a person who is NOT a POP fan and NOT a boy band fan and NOT a KPOP fan. I assure you, they are a bit unique, special, talented, and their music and what they have to offer the world is worth a watch. Good luck if you choose to take another step in the journey. And if you find you like it, just embrace it. Life is too short to not know BTS. And just for reference Butter and Dynamite (are two of their biggest songs of all time) and they are legitimately my least two favorite BTS songs. BTS are so versatile, and span many genres. They sing in Korean, Japanese, and parts of English (despite only one member who speaks English). And they love Sakamoto for crying out loud. Hip Hop artists who love Sakamoto... what is not to love? If you do just stick with "this guy" I recommend Polar Night and also Amygdala. Even though Amygdala is technically a precursor intended to watch last as part of a trilogy. It is absolutely fine to watch it alone. He does not have many slow songs and I don't particularly like the other two but as a punk girl, I absolutely love everything else he's ever done. This song, is one of my faves though. I hope you will sit down and actually listen to it on your own and enjoy the piano and the lyrics and singing and the flow. What a fun way to start a BTS journey, should you do so. Don't listen to haters... they will subside once you are able to pause when you want to talk and listen when the video plays. That's all we want. Be well. :)
Army! I was watching their last welive before this, and my eyes tear up reading your comment. Thank you for describing bangtan and army so beautifully💜
Also the 'this guy' was funny lol
You are not listening to the song - if you watch and stop talking you might learn something.
bro is a professional yapper
Pause if you need to that's fine. Suga(aka Agust D) of BTS was both at his studio, at his piano and he was rapping at the mic with his guitar yes he can play both. Woosung is from the Band called The Rose. Ryuichi Sakamoto died not long after this. Sakamoto was a Japanise pianist Suga(aka Agust D) looked up to and got to met before he died.
Lyrics are always extremely important when it come's to anything the BTS men write and are with this track.
Some time's it's easier to listen and watch then go back to the beginning and read the lyrics.
Some of us are used to reading lyrics and watching a MV or non English films/series with subtitles it's a bit confusing at first but after a doing it a few time's it starts to becomes second nature to be able to do both at once.
Woosung is the lead singer of The Rose and a good friend of Suga. The name Agust D is formed from Suga in reverse plus DT, standing for Daegu Town, which is where Suga is from. He is a producer, singer, songwriter and part of the rap line of BTS.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
He’s a producer and rapper,so in the video u can see the process.
Agust D is the name Suga uses in his solo activity. It's Suga backwards and DT for his hometown Daegu (Town). Suga and the rest of the members are indeed artists. Suga is the primary producer out of the members and he's even won awards as a producer. in recent years he's been making songs for many succesful korean artists. He is obviously a songwriter and composer. im not trying to be mean but this reaction was kinda painful to watch, cuz this song means so much for Suga, he broke down crying while singing it during his tour last year. this song contains the message he wants to send to younger artists as well as to his younger self. he's been thru a lot and his work is usually full of powerful and raw messages like this. also, just because some people might find their three english songs too western or stuff like that it doesnt mean theres no reason behind releasing them or that theyre bad songs, nor did they stop putting out "good music" in 2019, thats coming from people that dont really know or follow bts, mostly kpop fans or antis.
i too was skeptical about bts cuz i dont listen to kpop (i still dont), but here i am as an army, with bts being my favourite artists. in order to trully appreciate bts you need to get a lot of additional information, more than just giving the song a listen, because their work is far more meaningful and complex than people think, so it can be overwhelming at first to get into them but its definetly worth it
It would be a good idea to watch one of the documentaries about BTS - The Most Beautiful Life is very good and I'm sure others would recommend some other short documentaries of BTS.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Education is better than degradation ,be nice people😊
This song IS very cozy and comforting, but one has to read the lyrics to understand a foreign language. I was glad to see that a first time listener actually turned on the subs, especially for a song as lyrically eloquent as this one, but was dissapointed that you didn't spare them a glance. I belive this song deserves a second chance, with you this time paying attention to it's heart, the message, since he's not just "yapping" as you called it.
Imagine thinking one of the most successful musical groups of all time is “mid”? Sheesh. If you don’t want to be a BTS fan, then don’t be. There are millions of us, we’ll be fine lol. “Butter” might not be your cup of tea but it’s kinda egotistical and disrespectful to keep calling it bad when it was just about as successful as a pop song could possibly be. Broke a bunch of records. The video is great, they even have a couple of fun/parody versions because in the end, it’s just a fun pop song. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, but judging artists as prolific as BTS off of one song is way more cringe than wearing Supreme in 2023 😂
If you want to stick around, BTS as a group has a ton of music from a ton of genres, though most of their songs that are well-known in the west are pop songs since that’s what we’ll play on the radio over here. Their Korean songs span a ton of genres and styles, and their solo music branches out even more. Agust D - SUGA in BTS, Min Yoongi - is largely rap and hip hop, though he’s a musician, composer, songwriter and producer of many genres. His parents took him to see The Last Emperor when he was young, and he fell in love with the soundtrack and with Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music. Yoongi got to meet him shortly before Ryuichi passed away, and “Snooze” was the last project before he passed away, shortly before Yoongi released his solo album D-Day. If you’re interested in checking out more of his music, you can search for Agust D or SUGA to find more music.
I don’t know what other kinds of music you like, but BTS has a ton to explore. In addition to Agust D (SUGA), RM and J-Hope are two other artists that are mostly hip hop and rap-focused. They both have a ton of solo music, some of it featuring artists like J. Cole, Erykah Badu, Anderson.Paak (Silk Sonic), Wale, etc. The vocalists - Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - have wildly successful solo projects as well. Jungkookie just broke some records with his debut English album “Golden,” and did a remix of his track “Standing Next to You” with Usher. Chris Martin from Coldplay loves BTS and Jin so much that he collabed on a farewell song for Jin called “The Astronaut” - the last thing Jin released before enlisting in the military for his mandatory service.
They’re all doing their mandatory military service at the moment and will reunite in 2025, so there’s lots of time to explore BTS and catch up if you really want to. If you don’t - then don’t. I think I speak for a lot of ARMY when I say we’d rather you check them out and decide it’s not for you and stay away than force yourself to watch for views. We can tell when people aren’t into it.
Idk if you heard my reasoning to why I said butter was mid but it's because I spent a long time practicing a guitar cover for it that I know the song inside and out. It's probably just a me problem. I'm not close minded like you probably think I am. I know this group has lots of music and probably something for everyone (hence why I am here). I would never base a group/band off one song as you claim I did
@@compactrhythmYou didn’t say Butter was mid - you said in the description of this video that BTS is mid. We’re only responding to what you put out there and in this video, you came off like someone dragged you into this. I’m willing to watch more reactions from you… I’m just saying if you aren’t really interested, don’t force it because it’ll suck for everyone involved.
If you *are* interested, then welcome to the rabbit hole, and have fun :-) A bunch of people have left you info on what you might wanna check out next.
Sounds like you finally heard Suga’s music. He is a great rapper, composer, producer. Good music.💜
Don't need to worry just passed when you need to do talk.This song live concert version is so emotional . If you want to know more about bts i recommend video the guide to bts the7 members of bangtan. Agustd(solo artist) aka suga(bts's member) if you are rapfan I recommend rm album indigo too they all good rapper. My English is suck hope you can understand it❤
So enjoy your videos have a good days man
First of all, thank you for reacting to this song, you picked the perfect song to begin the journey :)
Snooze is my favorite song in Agust D/ Suga mixtape, it's comforting and encourage you in hard times. Just like you introduced to BTS music from Mr. Sakamoto, I became a fan of his music by his encounter with Suga in his documentary. We don't mind you pausing to read/ ask question/ share your thoughts, because it's a way to communicate, and I've read your reply to the comments about reading the lyrics and re-watch the video, and I appreciate your willingness, so thank you.
recommendation for you (no pressure):
- introduction to bangtan 7 by Taylor mari (it's a bit long, but it's good one if you want to know more about the group)
- Songs: black swan, louder than bombs, spring day, mic drop
note: not even fans like all of their songs, we have different preferences, so it's okay to share your honest thoughts, we will try to recommend other songs based on your preferences :) Have a good day~
BTS content is a three-run affair - once just listen to the song, second look at the visuals, third take the time to read the subtitles. It's just too much to absorb in one sitting.
I laughed out loud when you said you've only heard Butter. :)
It was one of the very few songs they didn't write and they were just trying to give people good vibes while in a holding pattern in regards to their military enlistment (the pandemic screwed up all their plans and tours).
I'm 45 and have never been into boy bands or the fluffy stuff. These guys do have fun songs, but it's only to offset the heavy ish they cover.
I really hope you check out more from these guys. If you're into more moody stuff, maybe check out Louder Than Bombs. There's a fan-made video for it, but no official MV.
When Suga was a young boy his parents brought him to the cinema. The musical production/arrangement of the movie was of Ryuichi Sakamoto. Suga was captivated by his work, hence his utmost admiration for Mr. Sakamoto. He was a great influence for Suga's great love for music. 💜
Agustd D or Yoongi wrote this song for his juniors and younger up and coming artists
His whole D-Day album is awesome. I recommend Haegeum, it's got a music video. He wrote, composed and produced the song entirely himself. And he did a cool hip-hop style dance choreography video for it too, recommend reacting to it as well. The video is titled Haegeum dance practice.
All the BTS members have excellent solo songs, you might as well get into BTS songs too lol. If you like Snooze, you'd probably like Outro Tear by the 3 rappers together. Similar vibe, but more aggressive.
Highly, highly recommend this, but do the live version. Most folks prefer the Wembley video, but some of the Japanese shows are fire also.
If you do react to Tear, PLEASE don't talk over J-hope's verse at the end-- he rips his heart out right there on stage, and deserves total respect.
It is a great song with three amazing artists.. please listen again and be silent, try to listen to the music..and pause if you have to make a commemt or ask something. I had a hard time listening to you not really listening … just som feedback if you want to continue reacting.
yeah i did that (off camera of course) and now understand where all these comments are coming from. i'm gonna do that from now on. i just grew used to specifically not pausing because lots of people said to just "enjoy the music" but i guess this group is more than just its musical ability
@@compactrhythm Glad that you could take the feedback, that is a good way of developing. I wish you lots of luck with coming reactions😉💖
2:36 then pause and read bro, it ain't that hard. They're pretty deep lyrics. or listen to the whole song and read them on the 2nd listen.
Agust D is pronounced like the month. SUPREME is a think in South Korea still. BTS are amazing musicians, you would be missing out if you don't check them out. Woosung is the lead singer for a rock group called The Rose. Another group of amazing artists. SUGA aka Agust D, is a rapper, producer, songwriter for BTS. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists in BTS. They are all serving their mandatory military service right now. They will return in June of 2025 and come back together as a group. They renewed their contract with their label, so expect a comeback in late 2025, early 2026. They already have their comeback planned, and they were working on some of it before enlisting. I love SNOOZE. It's a beautiful song. You should really check out the lyrics, SUGA really poured his heart and soul into the song.
Sorry Bro, but you talk a lot above the song, you should read the lyrics, they are very deep, and if you don't know the artists, just Google them, it's easy.
he produced, thats why he everywhere in mv
Thank you so much for your reaction to Suga/AugstD! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and listening to him. The video was a lot to take in if you are watching for the first time, but I hope you continue or consider reacting to more BTS as a group or individually. I recommend MVs or Enjoy BTS Mores channel for live performances and watch with English subs on. I am a huge 49y old fan that started during the pandemic and have not found any artist that have moved me as much as BTS. Their journey along with ARMY (Fandom) is a remarkable one😊 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Welcome to BTS. First time? (inside ARMY/RM joke). This is a solo song by SUGA (aka Agust-d), who is a main rapper, writer and producer and treasured member of BTS. I promise you that Agust-D and/or BTS' music is not what you expect. Many have pre-conceived notions that they are a Pop (Western-style) boy bad group. Nothing could be further from the truth. It must be said that they have some of the most meaningful and deep lyrics and are worth exploring. I understand you should enjoy the music first, then go back and tr to understand what they are saying. I promise you it will be worth your time. Also, take a breath, relax and enjoy the music.
interesting that you found Yoongi (aka Suga, aka AgustD) through Ryuichi Sakamoto but i guess legends work with legends! I wonder if you'd like other AgustD work. You might explore the trilogy of Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala. Although... I personally like the trajectory combo of The Last, Nevermind and Amygdala better. All AgustD, all songs thematically, melodically intertwined.
If you really want to know more about BTS I suggest 'A Guide to BTS The Bangtan 7' by Taylor Mari. It's a long video but it gives you info on the group and the individual members. We will watch the whole thing (ARMY loves long videos).
Suga excelent compositer Raper and artist thenks
You talk way too much. Reaction videos should have talking of course, we want to know your opinion, but for the love of God just pause the video and then talk. This song is beautiful and you were focused on so many random details
Well Agustd (Min Yoongi, Suga from BTS, my husband) is not only a musician, producer, writer but a beautiful human being... I met Woosung because of this song and now I'm a big fan of The Rose (Woosung band) and Yoongi had always admired Sakamoto (rip) and finally he was able to achieve this collaboration, which was one of the last works of Ryuichi..🫂
Thanks for your reaction, but please, let me give you some advice: pausing is less boring than speaking while the video is running. Pay attention to the song, read the lyrics, and pause to comment... when you talk a lot it seems you are not interested in listening to the song nor understanding the lyrics, just in hearing your voice.
Agust D is Dt Suga backward. Suga from BTS is from Daegu Town.
If you like good rap, BTS has three excellent rappers: Suga, RM and J-Hope. They form the rapline. Their solo works are excellent, too.
Yeah you're right about that. I mean i am NOT interested in my voice hence why I wear noise cancelling headphones and turn the music UP but i get why people say that so in my next reaction (i still havent decided yet), I will definitely take time to pause and think about what they're saying especially if that's the main focus.
Sometimes, you can just download the lyrics videos and read and listen and then download and watch the MVs. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You can do an introduction video. Specifically the one by taylor mari called a guide to bts.@@compactrhythm
in respons to your description: why assume that bts is mid? why don't you check them out and then decide? I could sit here and talk to you for hours about how amazing they are - from their wrtitng to production to performance. I could tell you lots but at the end of the day it's your choice and your opinion. But don't be prejudiced. Just cause they're pop or kpop or a boyband. Don't assume you know everything and you know what they're about. Ik that's hard and I used to be judgemental too, but you really never know. So my advice - keep your mind, eyes and ears open. you just might love them. and if u don't, that's ok too.
nah check my channel. mind is wide open
Hi, nice reaction, ty. Though honestly this was the most distracted reaction, especially for engaging an artist you are not familiar with. I watch a lot of reaction videos and I think you are the first person who was led to Agust D (Min Yoongi or SUGA of BTS) music through Ryuichi Sakamoto. I only knew of Ryuichi Sakamoto very vaguely myself. Suga/Agust D was the one who helped me learn more about him. Suga/Agust D is a huge fan of his work. He has been a fan for many yrs. It was his dream to meet him and talk with him. As u can see in the video he does get to meet him. It's really cool. The army/fan who made this video used the live stage clips and Suga/Agust D documentary clips and some others to make her video. A lot of the video was from the documentary. In it we see him working on his D-day album. It was really cool. I want to rewatch that documentary so bad. But i don't have Disney. Sigh. Lyrics are a huge part of BTS music and you should pay attention. Your right that Suga/Agust D spits fast. He does and so do the other rappers. If u cannot keep up read and watch at the same time than u have to pause. If u don't want to pause watch 1st listen to the song. Watch the images. Then rewatch and pay attention to the lyrics. many reactors do this. Not everyone can read fast and watch at the same time. i am pretty good at it myself doing both because of all my years watching anime. But even i pause and go back multiple times with BTS's music. Sometimes they really are on a roll and the flow is just so good. =0] Doolset is the best place to read lyrics for their Korean songs. She made a site and translates to the best of her ability. She also adds extra details that help u understand things better. Genius is another site u can use for their Japanese songs. They have a lot of meaningful songs. I think i read u like rock. I would suggest u check out boracity magazine channel about why rock fans like BTS. =0p But anyway if u like rock pls check out Dionysus. There is no MV for it. But u can just listen to it or see a live. doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/dionysus/ Another song u might like is Fake Love. JHope of BTS the 3rd rapper in the group has a rock inspired album Jack in the Box. His song More and Arson the title track both have MVs. U can check those out. And Suga/Agust D's album D-day is rock influenced too to some degree. U might like Haegeum which has an MV. But this song is part of a trilogy with Amygdala being the 3rd song and Daechwita from his 2nd mixtape D2 being the 1st to start us off. All three are complicated and u really have to pay attention to it all so maybe save these for later. My fav songs by BTS are "Your Eyes Tell" which is Japanese OST and Stay Alive by JK produced by Suga also OST. The vocals and melody and overall vibe just really stuck with me. I love a lot of their songs and i am learning to read the lyrics. I am also trying to pay attention to the MV more too. BTS and the members make u think often. They help u grow as a person. Woosung is from a rock band called The Rose. This was a 1st collab for them. Many of us loved his vocals and looked into his bands music. The Rose will be performing in USA this year at Lollapalooza. It's a big deal for them. I love the growth. They are really good. Very talented. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
My suggestions;
- RM "Smoke Sprite" by Soyoon
- Suga "Shadow", "Daechwita"
- j-hope "More"
- Jimin "Lie" & "Set Me Free pt.2"
BTS "Dionysus" & "Black Swan"
Bts is really versatile their solo projects are very different too( pop jazz ,hard rap ,soft rap...) because of that you can't have a specific image of what they gonna do next they try different style of music
My recommendation: mic drop mv , louder than bombs and the truth untold lyric video, your eyes tell live performance and suga so far away lyric video
Ummm YES to all of this.
Mic Drop is easy to find. The others, especially as new as you are to BTS, can be tricky. I'll recommend the following links that might help. In general, we always prefer LIVE if it is an option because they are somehow better live than studio. No lie! And always look for Eng Subs. There is a channel called Enjoy BTS More and she is absolutely brilliant at putting the best captions with live performances. Sometimes the subs and captions aren't always great but she works hard to put the best translations to the live performances.
Louder than Bombs (no MV but this fan made one actually by Elissa, the same one that did this one you watched, is great.) czcams.com/video/TfvShMWGbwI/video.htmlsi=PljDzJRfGmif8vxP
Truth Untold (this mix is probably the best. The best performance doesn't have Eng subs, but this stage mix is primarily that performances live at the Fukuoka Dome in Japan) czcams.com/video/q9yaP4wZ_tI/video.htmlsi=LZ4Tw5uhTh4NkRtb

this reaction, my god, it was painful 😂
I was happy to see a newbie reacting to Suga from BTS! But it quickly turned into a disappointment because you werent really listening properly... but just kept interjecting the song with your bewildered comments :( Please just sit still and listen because we are also listening together with you, my friend. And yes, you can pause as many times as you need because the lyrics are very important and meaningful.
We have watched all BTS videos x1000 times, but we are willing to watch again together with you if you are willing to give it a proper listen, thank you...
Being honest, I love Ryuichi Sakamoto (R.I.P master), piano is one of my weaknesses (Yoongi is another one tbh), besides the music itself, so I find his works always beautiful. Yoongi or SUGA or Agust D, is a big fan and admirer of him, and he is really very good at playing the piano (among many other things in which he is very talented), you should listen to his interludes are beautiful (such as "Interlude Set Me Free", "Interlude Dawn" or "Over the Horizon" for Samsung)!!!
Personally, I wasn't that interested in K-pop music (korean popular music in general, and especially idol), until I met Yoongi. I love rap, and really, he made me cry the first time I heard him (First Love and Intro: Never mind). It was a one-way street. Then I started to find out more about their music, all the guys' music, and their lyrics, compositions and so on, and I discovered that I love them and that they are very different from the rest. I like the fusions they make and the fact that they are incredible artists and people.
I hope you can give them a chance and, above all, I recommend you to watch the lyrics, either in the video or search in Genius or some page for their translation so you can have a general idea of the song, because their lyrics are WORTH it!
Thanks for the reaction!
PS: As a comment, it's almost 3am and technically in 6 hours I have to be working but well, things happen :)
Thanks for the reaction, if I may offer you a suggestion, maybe don't talk over the performance? :) I understand that you are reacting, but you are missing quite a lot.
Ok, maybe you should listen to the song first and then ask for explanations. You can't talk over it. Regardless if you like it or not. The Army is happy to answer your questions. Anyway, happy you're discovering them
You’ll do fine. Worth checking out BTS for all they can offer! 💜
Hi!! I know you don't like it, but is better if you actually pause the mv for making a comment, so it doesn't distract you from the video 😅 Stay well !! 🥰💜
Yes Suga (aka Agust D) can play guitar but foremost he's a is a classically trained musician on the Piano hence in Blood, Sweat and Tear's he plays the church organ and the piece he plays is a classical piece it's called Passacaglia in D minor by Buxtehude.
Yeah BTS members are also musicians they just don't play in a band as it's rather difficult to play sing rap and dance all at the same time.
A member may occassionally play a musical instrument on stage lets think. Suga has played both Guitar and Piano as has Jin played both on stage while singing as those 2 instruments mean you can at least sing and play or Rap and play. Jungkook has played drums on stage. We've heard him play guitar as well it's in their Run BTS series and I think one of the In the Soop esiposides however I'm not sure I've remembered correctly but someone will come along and correct me if I've citied the incorrectreference.
We've heard V jamming with the band on saxophone that's at the end of His Band Practice for his Tiny Desk Solo Concert.
On Weverse we've seen and heard RM playing his keyboard while a wee bit drunk at first he was getting his fingers mixed up and apologised but then he played it perfectly that was a classical piece of music as well.
Jimin we've seen at a keyboard working out a melody for one of his solo songs for his solo album Face.
You talked over the whole song and did not even read the subtitles at all.
Love this song. You should check out BTS and you can't judge them off of the three english songs butter, dynamite, and permission to dance since those are not a good representation of their work. Try fake love, black swan, your eyes tell, louder than bombs, magic shop, mikrokosmos, house of cards, ON, and so many more. Check out their solo work too. You will love them.
Suga é considerado um dos melhores produtores musicais da indústria , Woosung do The Rose (banda de rock alternativo sul coreano) tem uma voz maravilhosa e claro, a lenda Sakamoto. 💜🇧🇷
Thanks for taking your time to react even youre not familiar with the artist. The song is really deep and very emotional and you miss a lot of digesting the true meaning of the lyrics that Suga ( when he is in BTS ) but Agust D when he is doing a solo, you miss a lot of noticing the meaning of the song bcoz you talk a lot while the song's played. Maybe next time you pause when you react or play first the entire song and then react. It's just a suggestion.
Suga or Agust D is part or member of the biggest band in the world BTS. Just like Sakamoto , music his world he also play piano and guitar. He is a producer not only in BTS but also other artists. He is one of tge best and fastest rapper in tge industry, composer, songwriter, very good lyricist
And he got a lots of beautiful music in his solo project.
You can check it out his solo thru his other nane Agust D.
Since you like rock you should check out "jack in the box" album by Jhope ( hes from BTS also)
I think you would like it❤️
And this is how it happens--Hope to see you around!
just some constructive feedback, i think try to listen more rather than talk through it, also the lyrics may move slower than u think so it’s def possible to read them!!
U talking too much
Again,good luck😊💜🫡.
You need to react to The Rose! Back to Me is a great introduction song or Alive! They are similar to the other Korean rock band you have listened to. Woosung is the lead singer for them.
5:39 so the clip of him playing (and all the video material) is from his documentary Road to D-day and he plays a live version of the song in the docu. This is a fan made edit mv and the song you hear is the studio version.
You should check out more MV of Agust D it so fire
which ones can you recommend?
@@compactrhythm so far away lyric video, his d2 and dday album
REACT TO INTRODUCTION TO BTS THE BANGTAN 7.
IT SUMMARIZES EVERYTHING, THEIR STORY, THEIR PERSONALITIES, THEIR CONTRIBUTION.
Min yoongi dia idol yang sangat genius 💜
I don't know why but I have a feeling you will like the HYYH series. You can listen to I need you, Run, House of Cards, Young Forever
You should react to sdl by AGUSTD and also BTS songs
U need to be silence to react sometimes. Understand the song. SUGA, or Agust D and real name is Min Yoongi is a genius in BTS. Woosung is from The Rose. Watch their group too. Read the lyrics.
I love this song by Suga💜 BTS
AgustD aka Suga aka Min Yoongi of BTS and Woosung from The Rose. Both incredible artists there is a video of when Suga met Sakamoto and he gave the music to Suga aka AgustD 💜
Wow you talk a bit much . Y don't you just enjoy the song then talk so much
The whole point of the song is the lyrics you keep talking over it and just so disrespectful towards a serious song like this and it was the last thing ruichi sakamoto did before he passed
If you want to hear more from August D and BTS they have a great catalog so here are some of my favs: butterfly, make it right, paradise, best of me, dna, the truth untold,134340, save me, and agust d: amygdala, haegeum, dday, burn it, so far away ft suran. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
😂😂😂😂😂welcome to the beautiful club
You started your jorney from really beautiful song)))
Please react Suga Daechita, Bts Black Swan, BTS Mic drop.
Please watch and react A guide to bts ( u will gain a lot of comments and views dude😊)
Avrai da ascoltare x 2 anni da tante cose che hanno fatto i BTS, 💜👍
suga❤🔥
React to The Rose. Woosung is one of the vocalists of The Rose .
Give yourself permission to explore the wide variety of genres BTS not only sings, raps and dance to but writes and composes. It has been worth my time to invest some time in reading the lyrics and researching the various layers of meaning, the social commentary in their own work (some of their English songs were written by others but they write and compose most of the rest even if sometimes in collaboration: check the behind the scene videos, those are not collab in lip service, they are doing the work!). Don't let their fame and English songs influence you that they are just popular and catchy: there is a lot of depth, their MVs are mini movies, they put a lot of effort not just into the quality of the songs and their vocals but into a demanding choreography while they sing live, which is quite a feat in itself. It's ok not to like a song, lol: there cover a wide variety of topics, genres and tastes.
You play pretty good too.
