  1. For a lighter song, You guys should check out Anpanman. Just Google what the word mean, it's a Japanese cartoon.
    It's more an upbeat song of theirs that still guve comfort.
    There is no MV, but "Enjoy BTS" channel has a live version with the lyrics.
    Or So What. No MV, but that channel has a live with Lyrics.
    Or Magic Shop. Same as above.

  3. Thank you, gentlemen, for your thoughtful response.💜
    Suga's name comes from the basketball position SHOOting GUArd. (He played and loves basketball). The pronunciation is shoo-ga. Hopefully that helps.

  4. Pills…
    After the accident, Yoonge had to take pain killer's to hide his injury.
    Without them he wasn't able to perform.
    That changed after he decided during pandemic to finally have a surgery.
    Hopefully, now he's pain free.

  5. My first watch of this was when it premiered and there was no trigger warning. I knew it was gonna be deep with the title of the song being the part of the brain that stores painful traumatic memories and when you're faced with a stimuli that is reminiscent of that trauma it activates the fight or flight response.

    The second I saw him on the delivery bike, I knew where this was going and I started crying. The crying got worse when I saw him holding that box cutter against himself. From that point on I couldn't differentiate his story from my own traumas and "choices".

    The part that hit me the hardest was seeing him crawling on the floor, trying desperately to get to that door, with all the tears falling around him. It reminded me of all the times I screamed myself to tears to cry myself to exhaustion for a rest that would never come. I was so completely triggered by this video that I had to call in sick to work.

    I haven't gone back to watch it again but through watching reactions (the first ones I watched had napkins covering the video) I was slowly able to get to a place where I could see those images again and even analyze some of it a bit.

    I'm honestly starting to see that Suga, the one repeating the memory of his accident is just as trapped as Agust D is in that dark part of his mind. I think it could be something like he created Agust D to express all those emotions he couldn't in his IDOL life but that in turn led to Agust D being so filled with anger because of the limitation. In turn he created Suga as a silent barrier. Notice in the video as he repeats the accident (not the way we were told it happened) he doesn't really show much emotion. Like how the residual hauntings of a ghost work, the actions are there but the spirit and purpose is gone.

    He doesn't show emotion until he's confronted with the visual signal from his Amygdala, Agust D lying there in the rain looking hurt and injured (probably a more accurate image of how they found him after his accident). That's when Suga runs from the memory, trying to escape back into that dark safe space.

    Maybe both Suga and Agust D are trapped in the Amygdala and realize the only way they can truly escape is by reconnecting,  by becoming Min Yoongi.

  6. Suga said that
    he opened his eyes after the accident and found that one of the car wheels was right by his head ! So , not only his shoulder was damaged (wich he didn't tell, because he was afraid of being kicked out of the trainee program!) but he had to deal with the fact that he was an inch away from dying !
    ARMY knew about that accident but I don't know how many did about his mother's and father's health issues !
    I didn't !

  7. I knew you would do this song justice and have been waiting for your reaction. I am a mental health professional and this song just speaks to me so reactions to it are important to me. Can I just say that I really appreciated your words

  8. You guys are so thoughtful about everything… I love it.
    Suga is much better now and much happier.
    I suggest you react to his concert with this album. He was AMAZING! And the song Snooze with the late Sakamoto's piano and Woosung INCREDIBLE voice is a masterpiece. 😊💜

  10. Very interesting takes on the mv. And I understand how you got two those conclusions (where he's representing 2people) and I see how you came to that because BTS has videos where its more thought required however, this video is more literal. Everything in this is 100% him. He got into an accident ( the other driver was responsible for it) , his mom had heart issues , his dad got cancer. Its simply about him wanting to escape his own mind and he can't. The ending, both parts represented him. Its saying he couldn't rescue himself or escape problems. Its all about his struggles. Thanks for the reactions ❤

  11. For me this is about trauma. I have several friends who suffered terrible traumas in their youth. They cannot get over it, even after 30 years. I cannot help them, because I don’t know how trauma feels. I sent this MV to one of them. She was offended, because her trauma is too serious for kpop. You’re right, being stable is all I can do.

  13. Mental health is one of the many issues that BTS (especially Suga) write, create, sing about. That's why they can resonate with so many people around the world. Their overall message is bringing awareness and positivity to the world…connecting with each other as human beings. BTS are simply on a level of their own. Despite the hate, etc they still continue to strive towards a better version of themselves and ourselves. 💜
