I think he described it as lazily and effortless because the way he moves when he's dancing and the way he moves on his daily life/ doing casual things is how he naturally moves. I don't know if you get what I mean. He has natural swag even when not dancing. If Jimin is airy and Jungkook is earthy/muscle power (just to name a few members), Suga moves like water if that makes sense.

"It's very technical, but he's doing it so lazily, like he's half-asleep almost..." Yeah, you just saw right into the soul of SUGA, who would like to be reborn as a rock in his next life.

What I love about Seesaw is that he uses a metaphor for toxic relationships not only in lyrics but also in music which has ups and downs and his rap with high and low tones like a seesaw. He is really talented producer and songwriter

"I'm the unofficial dance coach of BTS" -Sam Scott Thorne

That breathing shift you talked about when it can be clearly heard... pure Suga. It's as much as a vocal choice as Jimin's cry at the end of a falsetto note. It's one of Suga's signatures.

I've read Korean speakers say that Yoongi speaks like moving his mouth costs money XD he is very relaxed and kinda mumbles when speaking, but he is one of the fastest AND clearest rappers with the best pronunciation

This is the first song that Suga has ever sang. Everyone was floored when he started singing and dancing instead of rapping. Suga is a songwriter. He is known for fast rapping and swag. He also is known for being sleepy. In his last interview he said he wants to write some folk music. He plays piano and guitar.

Suga is the king of low effort, but high quality. He's so effortlessly cool but then he'll just randomly burst out into high energy (not in this song tho) or emotion, I love how that part of his personality translates to his music.

"So effortlessly cool but then he'll just randomly burst out into high energy" is just exactly the way I would describe the energy of a cat. They don't run circles around you all day like a dog. The energy comes in bursts. And it describes Yoongi so well! No wonder we call him Meow-meow.

Suga is a very good producer and song writer. I really like the fact that u took time to react to rapline too. Most vocal coaches don't do that. Rapline also has very melodic rape. Especially if u react 2 their rap unit songs like ugh and outro tear. They change their rap style so much in these songs its amazing.

I think one thing yoongi is so good at is the use of breath. He will make sure to show desperation by leaving in his gasps as he passionately tells you his story so you can feel his pain too. Or he will leave a long breath at the end of a phrase to show, perhaps, loss of hope. His unfiltered approach to music, I think, is what always has drawn people in. Passionate is the easiest way to describe his music....

He includes his breathing between lines on purpose, it usually goes hand in hand with his music and lyrics. It's his things. Please react to more songs from him. He creates absolutely different genres from pop to alternative rock, from r&b to hip hop. He is incredibly versatile producer, songwriter and rapper.

suga is a performer that is either aggressive and professional, or casual and authentic. with songs like seesaw, he just looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself and taking things casually, everything just flows from one thing to the next and it all ties together into this really comforting package. his solo mixtapes really put into perspective how much range of power he has. from one song where it feels like he's screaming at you, to something more like this, where he's just having a pleasant conversation with you and dancing a lil. i love him so much lmao :(

The way you unintentionally described much of Yoongi's personality. Technical but half asleep

SUGA Voice is really beautiful and got that really unique tone and character in it, his flow is one of the most beautiful, unique and dope Ive ever heard, his delivery is always on point, I can feel the soul and the perfect emotion and mood in every words of his rap/singing, he can do any genre too, he's the best

Suga is mainly a musician. His goal was to become a producer and song writer but due to is rapping abilities the company chose to include Suga in the rap line of BTS. He writes and produces for other artists and even won an award for producer of the year in Korea a few years ago. Though BTS have their "home production team" Suga, RM and Jhope are credited on almost all the BTS material. RM says that Suga has "absolute pitch" which is an asset for a producer. Suga lately mentioned that he hopes to sing more in the future.

He is very versatile musician. It would be interesting if after Seesaw you'll react to his more rap song. Interlude: Shadow was amazing suggestion, hope you'll consider reacting to it Another very beautiful song is First love - about his love for music

“Keep everything ready to attack” xD That’s such an accurate description of his rapping style, haha! It’s a shame the rappers don’t really perform the songs from their personal mixtapes live, because I’d love to see your reaction to something like Agust D or Daechwita. I generally tend to prefer vocals more similar to Jimin’s, but I adore SUGA’s voice and your explanation of the sound explains why I like it so much - it feels intimate, and when combined with his tendency to write very personal and vulnerable lyrics just works really well. Thank you for this reaction, I’ll be looking forward to RM whenever you get around to him. 💜💜💜

Both his personality and his music exude an intensity in small things. If you pay attention, you can tell how much intent goes into his music (and the things he does in his life), but if you're not paying attention, you'll brush him off as lazy or apathetic. Even his speaking voice is quiet and soft, but he often speaks with intensity that is belied by his tone. I love how your analysis of his voice and his technique really emphasized that about him. The phrase "technical but lazy" is just right. It shows both the effort he made and the way he tries to de-emphasize the effort, as if trying to spare himself the vulnerability of his earnestness by acting like "It's all cool, it's no big deal, I just thought I'd drop this idea here for you to consider. But it's really no biggie, don't worry about it." It's a very complex human behavior, and it shows in a lot of his music, so I'm really glad that you addressed that juxtaposition in his performance.

I just love Suga's voice when he raps. Idk why but it's just very soothing. Helps me relax when I'm stressed or anxious. It's just something about his voice.

I love your description of his dancing as lazy but technical! I always say he's doing the same steps as everyone else but with more economy of motion. hee hee

He breathes more like a rapper than a singer. He’s been more and more interested in singing since 2019 so I expect his singing to get a lot better. I think he’s been mostly imitating the guy’s styles as he’s seen them get better through the years. I know he took some lessons in 2019, but he keeps saying he wants to take more lessons and learn to sing. He’s been adding more and more melodies and singing into his solos and parts in both regular BTS songs, solo mixtapes and rapline songs.

I noticed the same thing about Korean language since I started learning it. For me it's a "closed-mouth" language. You don't need to open your mouth too much or talk too loudly to produce sounds. And that's why (in my opinion) k-pop seems so effortless, cause the Korean language is effortless itself. P.S. Love from Poland 👋

this would explain why so many reactors erroneously claim that BTS are lip synching... the lack of need to open the mouth so wide and the use of a microphone to project the sound louder than expected with a more closed mouth position. just saying.

This performance was more like stepping out of comfort zone for him. He usually doesn't make solo performances with choreography and Seesaw was his first solo song, where he is kinda singing. He likes trying new things and likes challenging himself. If you listen to his more recent songs like Agust D - People, you'll see he became very good singer. Please react to Interlude: Shadow, production wise i think it is one of his best works

His breaths are part of his style as far as I know. He has interesting flips up and down and squeaks in his raps. It's really cool and idk that I've really heard it anywhere else before

SUGA is a cool cat.

I learn so much watching your reaction videos. I was very ignorant, thinking rapping was just talking. Thank you for educating me.

He has such amazing control over his voice, he constantly surprises me when I listen to him.

A song that it total Suga is First Love - it's more rap centric but the song, it's meaning, and his performance are simply amazing. I think your "take" on how his voice as an instrument in this song is delivered would be fascinating. I was never fond of rap as a medium but the rap I did enjoy was the old school - early rap from the 80's that you could understand, had a message and "sounded" good. The boys in BTS rap line restored my enjoyment for the genre - Ddaeng is my favorite - even more so after I learned the translated lyrics.

“I am the unofficial dance coach of BTS said no one ever” 😂

Have you ever made a video on how your native language influences your singing? That would be interesting to watch. I’m Danish and a lot of the sounds come from the throat when we speak. And I’ve always thought that it might be the reason for why I struggle with high notes 😂

Greatly appreciate the technical descriptions of Suga‘s vocal sound production. He makes his voice into a suite of instruments. He is so effective at communicating the intent by effortlessly shifting forms. Love it and I can appreciate his work more now. Thanks

They say that Suga was hired to rap, produce and write. He was told singing and dancing would be a minimum,lol. As you will see he participates at 100% in all areas including dance. We love his wonderful effort on Seesaw. If you want to see Suga and J- Hope really get out of the box their SOPE OTSUKARE in Japan is guarenteed to make you smile. Lounge lizard jackets and choreography that is surprising. Some say Suga would only dance like this out of respect for JHope. Great reaction, we love the deep dive.

Yoongi the rapper is a musician at heart, a sought after producer and a great beat maker. Before making his solo world tour we heard he had been taking singing lessons. Every one has been impressed by his singing. Such a star.

He is amazing producer and songwriter. He is very passionate about music and he is also very hardworking. He needs only 3-4 hours of sleep to be able to work

Oh I do so love your reactions and the amount of analysis you do. Yoongi is so close to being my bias, but I am still determinedly OT7. Thank you Sam. No, that was a GREAT Outro again, loved it!

I feel like he does 2 types of songs: calm and relaxed or very screamy and agressive. and he does them both well

What a treat! I love how you really hear and point out techniques that go unnoticed by many. His sound box is really impressive. Maybe when you've done a reaction to RM's rapping you could do a reaction to all three rappers when they're performing a rapline only song like 'Tear' ??

Oh my god see saw you should watch the first consert when he first dance and army screaming out of their lung

I love his singing voice, its really nice

I love you bts' unofficial dance coach❤ I love the way you breakdown everything and actually analyze their voices, give explanations to it all and take into account that their native language has an influence on it too. Thank you so much for reacting to this (as a vocal coach and a dance coach hahaha)❤

I’m glad you reacted to this video. This is def one of my fave of Suga’s solo songs 😊😊😊💜💜. And im not gonna lie i am learning so much from you! Thanks as always!!

The sharp breathing and some noises like mmmm is kinda his signature snd makes his rapping style really unique

He is very powerful performer and dancer. His style of dance changes according to mood of the song. If it is hype song like Fire he is literally will be fire, very sharp and quick. In Seesaw he is very chill. Wish you'd react to Shadow too

Suga is an anomaly and so cool as you stated! BTS rock and so Suga rocks his unique sound!! 💜✊🏽💜

Omg i laughed so hard at the lazy but technical dance 😂😂😂 thaaats our yoongi

This song of his showcases how effortless and natural he seems. Some people were saying before how the rapline can't dance or sing but look at how Yoongi can along with J-hope and RM. I loved how you commented on his dancing as well and how you put into words the feeling and vibe he's giving. That characteristic of him being seemingly lazy amd effortless gives him that charm. I really feel like he's got that natural swag not only when dancing and performing, but also with the way he walks, moves, and just his every action. His every action screams swag and cuteness at the same time lmao

He takes that breath and sound in every song!

I love the lazy but technical comment on dancing hehe

I'm so so happy that you're checking out the rapline! Rap has always been one of my favorite genres of music and most people don't realize that it is really difficult to rap (believe me I've tried lol), it takes technique and practice and excellent breath work.
