How have you not reacted to BTS’ “HipHop Lover”/“HipHop Phile” yet???

For me this has one of RM's best lines of all time when he says "I'm ill, yeah I'm work itself" because it's actually a quadruple; a double in English and then a double in Korean. He's saying he is "ill" like sick because of the disease as well as "ill" as the slang for cool/good. And then in Korean, "il" means both "1" and "work". So in Korean he is saying he is both number one in the industry and also that he works so much he is work personified. It's just so amazing that he can pack all that meaning in a tiny amount of words.

I agree completely! My favorite from this album as well, was pregnant during 2020 and it was a very tough time.. these guys really got me through!

i think jhope is the main writer of this song i love how they gave the line "I’m actually so young, only my body has grown" to both Jin and Jungkook, since they're the eldest and the youngest of the group also, it's part of the BE album, the album talks about BTS' feelings throughout the pandemic, so yeah, this might also be about the covid

​@@tinajezee3807 In J-Hope's BE interview he said that Jimin helped arrange/compose the melody for the bridge while RM helped with the bridge lyrics. Love this song!

JHope is the main writer of this song. He said that quarantine and the enforced rest that came with it was weirdly difficult for him as he felt compelled to be working, and he began to wonder if the need to work was a sort of disease. From that branched a song that basically explored their relationship with work.

You might want to consider an entire album reaction to BE. It's only 8 tracks and two of them are a skit and Dynamite, so really 6 tracks and it's a concept album that they wrote during the pandemic. Each song was mainly written by a different member. This one was J-Hope's and Jimin is credited with the bridge.

Even though the context is that they're not enjoying this kind of forced break from Covid, I actually think that much of what you said is a player in this too. I love that! That's what BTS are all about, they want their songs to mean something to YOU hence that different interpretations are encouraged and so interesting. Thanks so much for your thoughts on this one!

This is a part of their last album BE, themed around the pandemic, they did such a brilliant job describing all the feelings, this one specifically talks about disease (covid/mental) and the dis-ease of being at home, unable to work. Another favourite of mine from this album is Fly to my room.

Dis-ease definitely has one of the best word plays out of all the bts songs! Especially RM’s verse and obviously, Hobi’s as well, since he is the main mastermind behind this song. This song also brings out Hoseok’s old school rap flow, something that we don’t quite get to hear a lot. ALSO, the bridge of this song is ELITE. ARMYs named it ‘bridge of the century’.

Hobi went so hard on his part at the PTD concert.. The grit in his voice was 🔥

Suga part is the best in the song its unbiased fact, everytime Suga parts comes people are just naturally got more hyped , its super good

dis-ease is one of their best songs -- and Jimin's vocals here are stunning, and some of his best as well. so expressive! glad you enjoyed this so much.

Yay! I'm so happy that you finally got around to reacting to Dis-ease! It was a song written by the guys about their feelings during the pandemic last year when all of their touring plans got cancelled. The Korean title "Byeong" (병) is a word that can mean both disease or a glass bottle, so RM referenced both meanings in his verse. You were right in how it uplifts towards the end. I love how real the lyrics are but also how the song still provides hope to encourage you to keep moving forward, despite the "diseases"/struggles we all go through day to day, whether they are diagnosed ones, occupational ones, insecurities etc.

Wonderful comment! I’m so excited to see where their next album journey takes them and us 💜

Jimin’s sick and tired line is so good. I can listen to it everyday.

Will put my Patreon comment :) Was really interested in your interpretation of this! I loved how you interpreted it.. I’ll put the different Korean wordplay used below too as it adds more explanation to some of the word/phrase choices 🙂 ‘but I’m just a bastard who eats all three meals a day’
Wordplay: 세끼 (pronounced sekki) means daily meals, while 새끼 (pronounced saekki) means (1) a young animal or (2) a bastard. ‘My sin is being a dog that bites its resting self’
Wordplay: He seems to have used the phonetic similarity between 게 (pronounced ge; a shortened form of 것이, meaning [thing] is) and 개 (pronounced gae; dog). “Biting myself who is resting is my sin” becomes “[Being] a dog that bites its resting self is my sin.” ‘Material things are a stun that my career gives me’
Wordplay: 건 (pronounced gun) is a shortened form of 것은, which means “a thing is” or “things are.” The placement of “stun” makes you think of a stun gun. ‘I’m ill, yeah, I’m work itself’
Wordplay: (1) 일 (pronounced ill) means work. (2) It also means 1, which gives the line its second meaning, “I’m the best, yeah, I’m the No.1 itself.” This glass-like disease hits your head
Wordplay: 병 can mean (1) sickness/disease or (2) bottle/jar. 유리병 (glass + 병) means a glass bottle/jar. Credit - Doolsetbangtan Thanks bro 🙌

One of the BEST songs!! Master J-Hope bringing in the win! Thanks for exploring it :) PS: I see 134340 as a suggested song in the end.... oh you will love it Knox!!

Really enjoyed this, your analysis was brilliant and added even more depth to this song. As a lover yourself of layered lyricism, I think you’d find the nuances of RM’s verse especially interesting. For example, when he says ‘I’m Ill, yeah I’m work itself’ it can have numerous meanings. He’s using ill as in disease but also as the slang for awesome/dope, and then in Korean it also can mean number 1 or work. So he’s the top in his field, a workaholic with an ill mindset. I love words and languages! Thank you and get well soon.

louder than bombs of bts is waiting for your reaction

Ahhhhhhhh unexpected but so happy you’ve done this song! The whole BE album is a journey of their feelings and thoughts about the pandemic and the situation everyone was forced into. It’s a fantastic album! Would love to see you analyse blue & grey 💜

Forgot to add the Queen of all BTS songs and that is Spring Day, but if possible could you please watch the explanation by Italian ARMY in the same vid as the song visuals make so much more sense with that. Could always do a live if you wanted. It's a sensitive topic though but it's one of those that you just need to do. Cheers Knox!

Thank you for reacting to this one. This is my favorite song off of their album 'BE' released in November 20, 2020. I love this song so much. Each member has a project on this album, and This song was one of J Hopes projects, and he worked with Jimin on it. I believe Jimin wrote the bridge on this one. You can go to their channel and they have interviews with each member, and they talk about their parts on the BE album. It was done solely by the members, and they got some help with song production. This song helped me through some tough moments in the pandemic. I was so mad when they didn't get acknowledged for their work on this album. It won awards in the Korean/Asian market, but it didn't get any nominations in America. The whole album was written about the pandemic. V's song Blue and Grey was another one that hit home, and Telepathy. Dynamite was their feel good dance song on this album, to help ARMY's and people around the world to lift their spirits and have fun during the pandemic. Life Goes On is another one that I think should have gotten more recognition. This album got awards around the world and it produced two #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits. Thanks again. Have a great Holiday 💜

@@Myselfandme999 That song was amazing. It got practically no air play. Because it has Korean lyrics, it only got like 6 spins on the American radios. Amazing that ARMY's got it to chart at #1 on the billboard Hot 100 with streams, record sales, and digital sales. no radio play.

I think the first few lines are alluding to the pandemic. And the layer after layer and continuity of Dis-ease verses Disease is just such unbelievable wordplay - even more unbelievable because these songs tend to be written by more than one member, although I know this is J-Hope's song. Merry Christmas!

Great reaction! I needed that. Have had Covid for a week and my wife and I separated. Definitely need some positivity. It is all about interpretation!

Yoooo dis-ease is one of my favourite BTS songs! The wordplay in this too! Excited to watch 🔥💜 Merry Xmas too Knox!!

Ahh one of my favourite bts songs!! Thank you for reacting! They wrote this during the first lockdown, it’s basically about how they as absolute workaholics were forced to rest and didn’t like it at all :D

An album reaction to 'BE' would be a great idea, don't you think so?💜

I really really enjoyed your comments on this one and totally agree with you about the structure of the song. I think Suga's comments on mental health could have so many meanings too, my first instinct was that he's talking about how his 'disease' might just get labelled similar to the other 100s of diseases out there and so he's trying to figure out if it's actually his issue or other people's issue? And what you said made so much sense. I love hearing everyone's interpretations. Have a wonderful holiday break Knox and family! Borahae! 💜

That bridge is 👌🏼

"BE" IS AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE! written and designed by BTS themselves, and not a single skip on the whole thing. my personal favorites are Telepathy and Fly to My Room (oh god I hope the latter is right, I always forget the exact title lol), but I think you will enjoy the depth of Blue & Grey and Life Goes On too. always appreciate your insightful reactions, Mr Knox 💜

Loved the interpretation, when I first heard this I took it as a commentary on societal pressures ta always be doing something, working always in order ta not only accomplish your goals but ta just live; u need money in order ta eat ( how Hobi says he's a bastard who eats three meals a day implying he actually can eat full meals as opposed ta those who can't) n how much pressure that puts on our mental health n the disease being not knowing when ta rest r take a break. And how even when taking a much needed break you can still feel restless and even unworthy of that break like your being lazy. How the back n forth of needing rest but not wanting to fall behind is like a disease. n then having ta learn that it's okay ta take care of yourself. I really appreciate hearing your breakdowns, your always giving more to think about n it's great. Ty for your reactions 💜

Ma most fave from BE. j-hoooooooooopppeee

Hey Knox just so you know this song was part of their album BE (it was released in Nov 2020) which deals with what they felt about how pandemic brought a halt in their lives and what mental health related and other hardships they faced to which any common person can also relate to!

That bridge is... whew!!! 💜

" 400 for the number of times I’ll have listened to this track before the end of the week. Put this song in the credits of a coming-of-age film. Put this song as the pre-encore closer of the setlist when BTS is able to tour again. Put this song together with the choreography it deserves and fly the boys directly to the Grammy’s stage. It’s wonderful." - Consequence of Soud. " And while brassy instrumentals, bold drums and the slightly jarring noise of record scratching are present throughout the track, a change in tempo transitions “Dis-ease” to its final 30 seconds: a culmination of all these sounds-plus vibrant melodies-in what can best be described as an exhilarating party in the ear." - TIME " Dis-ease" is another standout. The track doubles down on the nostalgia to throw it back to old-school hip-hop. Making the DJ scratch sound effect cool again in 2020 is another feather for their cap." - THE INDEPENDENT. (4 STARS for BE album, especially point out "Blue & grey" and "Dis-ease". "Dis-ease" is one of the best three songs of this album. - INSIDER INTELLIGENCE. As the main producer, song and lyrics writer of this song, J-hope really reserved all these recognitions and compliments. Proud of him, Hoseok.

Something extremely important for understanding BTS’s music is that their way of addressing mental health is not saying “don’t be sad” it’s saying “it’s ok to be sad, I’m a bit sad myself, but we can get through it together”

dis-ease es una de mis canciones favoritas de bts, y estaba esperando por que reaccionaras a ella, estoy muy feliz. gracias Knox

I just LOVE the bridge of Dis-ease!

It’s about COVID quarantine! They’re not used to REST. Forced rest is punishing to workaholics like JHope and RM…

Oooo this is a surprise, I love this song so much

I think this is the most underrated song in the BE album in terms of production and technique tbh. There's so much instrumental greatness throughout the song and it showcased the vocal line's incredible vocal range. It also almost feels like the rap line went back to their roots with their rap verses because the style was very hip hop-like which we all know is amazing. Plus the message, the lyrics and the title itself are very well written. Jhope really did an amazing job with this song and I wished people would appreciate it more. I mean of course all of their songs are amazing, but I specially wanted people to give love to this this one in particular.

Indeed he is 🔥

Oh oh oh! Dis-ease let’s go Knox Nation!!

RM's lyric is especially clever because "IL" is how you say 1 in Korean. So he's I'll like sick, Ill like awesome (slang) and IL like number 1.

I see you like suga’s part a lot. You should really listen to his song “first love” it took me by surprise how tender but powerfull it is. Its a side of suga i have not seen in any other song with him. Ps i hope you Got Well again 🤗

I forgot how good this song is. This is from their "pandemic album". In my view, this song perfectly captures what many people felt while they were under lockdown. Wanting to maintain normalcy by continuing to work and do regular things in life, while going through something abnormal that makes us feel uneasy and scared.

Please react to BTS come back home, trust me you gonna love it

Loving your reaction! Most of your explanation about this song is right, it’s talking about how they adjust their mentality and find their position during the covid period. They couldn’t perform directly before their fans so they would question themselves sometimes about what they were doing in last year. This is how this song produced. Hope you can react to the song paradise as well! It is made by suga and it talks about it’s ok to slowing your pace in this fast developing world if you don’t have target, even if you don’t have dream,it’s totally fine. Also the song 134340 in the same album is wonderful too! It uses the relationship between the Pluto and the solar system to be the metaphor of lovers who break up, it’s sooooo ingenious! Again, love your reaction and your sincerity for my boys!

Get better soon Knox!! Thank you for everything you do and really love this breakdown. Knox's Patreon has really great content, highly recommend to anyone thinking of joining 💜💜

I love this song. I’ve had the workaholic Dis-Ease for a long time and it really spoke to me. Esp when this came out. Not only that, it’s very catchy, like pretty much all of BTS’s music, the lyrics are so deep, poetry as you said, and the rap line kills it in this song. Beautiful.

I like how his explanations still sound like rap

For some reason I didn't like disease at first but eventually it grew on me

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Beautiful Song... I have no words. I've always loved this song, but I've not dived as deep as I should have with it. Now I love it much more than I ever did before. Merry Christmas Knox (get well soon 😩), Army, and anyone else who reads this 🎄🎊🎉🎁
