right they are opposite of silver spoon for bapsae. BTS is speaking of need reinforcement more positive. I have a letter between namesake and great grandma explaining reason for lettering engraved on silver spoon. I confirm in family tree great grandma true name matches silver spoon

The DKDKTV explanation of the lyrics is a must watch for this song! There is a lot of cultural context that is missed if you’re not a native Korean speaker!

I too agree with you that the explanation video is a must. I got so much out of the explanation video, it really helped me to understand what the song was about. I respect BTS for writing about that topic and representing the young people who are struggling with getting jobs and being able to make a living. BTS had the courage to write about it even if it was consider wrong by people in power for them to speak on this topic.

Baepsae, Dis-ease, Spine Breaker, N.O, Am I wrong, Ugh!, etc. Honestly are the highlights of BTS music. But people believe that BTS music are like PTD, Butter, Dynamite etc. Though they are not bad songs, it just doesn't represent BTS music

삼포 세대, 오포 세대 My entry into studying Korean. I was fascinated, especially by the pun in the next line, 육포 세대 - six-giving-up generation but also beef jerky generation 😂

Jokes aside, these lyrics are really deep. It's just my whole life in almost 4 minutes🙃

Bapsae is full of sarcasm, irony, and mocking in meaning and even musically! The way they deliver the lyrics! The tones says it all! Bapsae is top-tier! Its so clever and even used as reference in a harvard law research paper about social-injustices

To me, BAPSAE, NOT TODAY, and DOPE all tie loosely together. Yes, they are birds that basically saying f you to the storks. Also, Suga lost the bet and had to do the dance break at the end which is usually done by Hobi. You should see the live with them in the black and gold outfits. Awesome

I love the choreo that starts around 12:58. Where 1 starts a movement, then 2 follow him, then 4 follow along. If we extrapolate that, then army can keep doubling the number and building the movement.💜

This is my favorite BTS song. The entire meaning and vibe is so good.

Same sis! And sometimes I even get "mad" at the boys for always joking about Baepsae and saying things like "Army want to see it live because of Hobi's hip thrusts". Of course I know they are joking hahah but at the same time I would love to tell them how relatable Baepsae is for me, and for many people out there. How comforting it is to know that you are definitely not the only one struggling with this "adulting" thing. And how I love how sarcastic and in-your-face the song is! A very millennial/gen Z response to the accusations that are always thrown at us as a generation. Cocky, rebellious, sarcastic, almost stupid. It's just insane the power Baepsae holds.

One of the absolute top Bside songs from BTS and an eternal fan favorite (only partial for the numerous hip thrusts)l. I swear BTS writes bangers about social commentary then decide to make sure people pay attention with hot beats and hip thrusts (or body rolls). One of my absolute favorites.

Loved this reaction so much DG! Thank you! So in this practice they were messing around a bit(They played rock, paper, scissor to decide who would do JHope's ending dance and Yoongi losed, lol), so I hope you check out a live performance so you can see JHope's part. He does different dances each performance and kills it every time!🔥🔥🔥

Always appreciate your deep dives into the lyrics and your interpretations. Always worth watching all the way through.

Loved that dance practice, especially the freezes. Random piece of info: Sua's (Dreamcatcher) representing animal is also the crowtit/baepsae. Not because of any meaning behind it but just that she looks like one (round face, small, high energy, possibly because of her high pitched laugh as well)

I appreciate your thoughtful discussion and reference to the explanatory materials too. It all makes the message of Baepsae even more relatable.

But like so many BTS songs, the more hilarious it seems, the deeper and more serious the lyrics are. "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine to down." The sweeter the sound & the more "fun" the choreo, the more pointed the message. One of the things I love so much about them💜

I know people are referring you to the DKDKTV "MV explained" for us non-Koreans but you're a smart guy and have been known to do your own research. There are obvious cultural references, as with a lot of BTS music, but with this song where the lyrics address obvious imbalances - generational, economical - I've watched your reactions before and know you dig into stuff like this on your own in order to put it into context based on other BTS content that you've reacted to as well. Each country has its points-in-time that impacts the culture, and music is one way that the generations express its own POV, which in the case of BTS, the local becomes global. The choreography "enhanced" the message in a cheeky way, each member interpreting the gesture in their own way - my personal favorite was j-hope. Whose was yours? If I could recommend a good live performance of this song, it would be 2015 Osaka - basically that whole concert, if you can watch it.

I normally never subscribe to reaction channels from one video because I want to see sincerity and even better if they have good insight and analysis of some aspect of BTS' work, whether it be dance, singing ability, cinematography, fashion, or whatever. That usually takes several videos to see. I love the way you tied in references to BTS' song Dope, showing you clearly pay attention and do research (or have diligently read ARMY comments). You sir have earned a follow right away! I really enjoy BTS reactions because one it is enjoyable to watch others others discover their artistry but secondly, I love learning new things about them and their work through the eyes of others. 💜 Have a great day everyone!

Wow! GREAT REACTION!! I always learn so much about the meaning of lyrics from watching you. I am a mother of 3 grown sons and my youngest is 24 yrs old. He is breaking his neck as a music producer and pro gamer. I had the advantage of a high paying job and reasonable cost of living. It is very different today for this generation. I’m forwarding this reaction to some friends who are on their kids back to ‘try harder’ and not compare them to a different generation and very different and difficult times! 🌹❤️🌹

I loved your video reaction. Thank you for reacting and for taking the time to look things up. 55 yr old ARMY . I see people have mentioned DKDK TV. The thing that makes there explanation videos so nice is that they cover the entertainment industry on their news like channel . They live in Korea and give you explanation’s about Korean culture and and lyrics. All these songs written in Korean ( with some English) are initially written for fans in their country ( BTS’s country and the older songs before any American awards) and from their point of view as young men. So DKDK TV translates Korean information and explains their culture ( them being Koreans themselves) in a way that is understandable without loosing too much in the actual translation. Let’s face it something’s are just hard to explain. But they do a great job translating the lyrics and making them understandable for those who know nothing of both the culture or the actual language. ( again example.. some words have multiple meanings based on how or when they are used.) Anyway thank you again for your time and effort in the videos. Give DKDK TV a try and see what you think. It might go well with your explorations into the meanings. You know take it to the next level. All info is good info , because knowledge is power.💜

You have to watch the live on this song! Compilation is great!

Amazing reaction, I loved hearing your perspective on it, it was much appreciated. It shows, once again, how relatable Baepsae and its message are. I'd have to write a long ass essay in order to explain my perspective of Baepsae and how relatable it is for me, and I'm sure for many many people out there. You just earned a new subscription 🥰

Спасибо. Посмотрите видео с концерта на эту песню, эмоции просто зашкаливают. Пойду пересмотрю.

Love your reaction as always. You dig into the lyrics to be able to understand what BTS would like to impart.

I hear you re the "exposure" bullshit. Everyone in a creative field deals with that. Or people thinking they don't have to pay for an idea. Once I became a producer I flatly refused to do that to another artist. When we get any kind of power, we have to stop it. One of the many reasons I love BTS is that they call this stuff out. Much deeper and more important than just a bunch of love songs.

**ARMY PLEASE HELP ME! Should I edit for SPOILERS?** You did a great job breaking this down, as I said under another's recommendation for an explanation video. A live performance (or 2 or 3, lol, since there are multiple iconic performances) definitely MUST come soon! A couple things become a bit clearer with these live performances. I don't want to give spoilers, but one of the contextual things you missed without explanation was in how they pronounced one phrase, which brought it close to sounding like a Korean swear word (changing the feel of the lyric, lol). They then emphasized this meaning with their choreo of aggressive pelvic thrusting. There are certainly those who don't look deeper into the meaning of the choreo, just as so many casual listeners don't try to understand the lyrics...their loss.

@@evantesseract737 thanks for the feedback!🙂 The particular glee with which so many recommend the song to reactors (for the shock and titillation values alone) is irksome to me, as it seems to reinforce the stereotypes of the fandom being musically illiterate and focused only on the physical attractiveness of the members. Here we've got this brilliant stab, filled with nuance, at a societal problem, and we lead people to focus, with middle school level preoccupations, on crow"tits" and pelvic thrusts. Then we have to spend so much effort trying to redirect the attention back to the brilliance that was missed. SMH (Sorry I'm cranky. Looks like I've had too much "World" today and need to get back to my "BTS World" for healing) 💜

The song is about generation before us can easier to bought house, car etc. Our generation has no chance to f.ex. own the house in 20s by normal work This song is the only one I can dance and really enjoy it, I dance for fun in my kitchen 😅

Thank you for your thoughtful reaction and the deep dive into the meaning and context of the lyrics. The hip thrusts are them dissing the silver spoons/storks, I think. It's funny how you totally missed RM doing those thrusts the first time but got JK doing the move even though he was behind J-hope! The protest and social commentary elements are what keep me listening to BTS; and also the way they bare their souls in other songs. I'm curious, how come you saying f****** comes across clear in the audio but the word s****** is muffled? Is that a function of what is considered upsetting in the censorship?

Try DKDKTV a Korean explains BTS. They explain what the Korean slang used and line by line explanation.

Would highly suggest you watch the explanation (DKDKTV) for this video in order to gain full understanding from a Korean perspective...it's deeper and more controversial than you might think. Lyric videos aren't really necessary then. A great way to do this kind of video is back to back with the explanation. For some reason there are reactors who avoid/ignore doing the explanations....I'm not sure why....but for certain songs...like Daechwita, Ddang, Ugh, Spring Day, etc., there's really no better way to fully understand and the reason I am ARMY is because of the brilliant songwriting and message.

You did very well with a lot of the issues, but there were still a few things that you missed because of cultural context. Dkdktv isn't the only channel giving the Korean perspective, but they have tried to give a balanced view to non-Koreans that also shares a generational, cultural context and the perspective of how the song is understood/translated in its home of origin. If they have an explanation video for a song on their channel, it's advisable that you watch (even if only on your own time) as it's a fair bet that you will learn something from it.
