I am so humbled that Yoongi wanted to share this with us. Thanks for watching. Support me on Patreon for exclusive BTS reactions: Patreon.com/JoseOchoaTV
Same. I knew Yoongi mentioned the accident in the song but I didn't think he'd show it in the MV. Thank you for this reaction, Jose, and have a blast at the concert! Purple you! 💜
The same, Jose. Just the thought of Yoongi, Suga/Agust D allowing us to travel through his most personal memories is profound and emotional.🥹 It takes a lot of courage. Some might not relate to his painful experiences, but as human beings with feelings one is able to put ourselves in their shoes (if just for a short moment) and feel the same pain, also feel happy that Yoongi is in a better place now.🫶 Enjoy the concert.
I don't ever want to hear anyone say that Yoongi is cold-hearted. EVER. This man decided to trust us with these moments in his life. His vulnerability just 💜😭
Agreed. May I add to your heartfelt comment and share: “ Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before you hurt someone, feel. Before you speak, think.” - Quote from Quick Flick 🫶
Like how precious is he to open up and be vulnerable and decided to share this VERY personal memories n trauma to us so it can help us and more people dealing with trauma 🥺🥺 and also hes been thru soo much and still has so much love to give to us??? Like howwww??? He deserves all the love and all the hugs!!! I love him sm!! 💜💜💜
Jose, we are all touched, as you were, by this MV. He shared his raw, painful past with us. I hope this helps people have the courage to seek help when they need it. My interpretation of the locked door is that he hasn't quite reached the point where he's able to free himself from the past. When he does reach that point, only then will the door stay open. He will be able to freely come and go in the room (the amygdala) without being trapped again in the past.
Yoongi is a true mental health advocate. He’s doing so much for people with all kind of mental health issues and neurodivergent people as well. I‘m so greatful. Representation matters. He believes that those things are not meant to stay locked behind doors and walls. He wants people to see and bear with us. Sharing this mv, this song, this album…it means everything 💜 Thank you for your reaction 💜
@@Yoongisgreyhairs_ I‘m not really sure about him having adhd, I know he mentioned it in bcs video when they tried to do meditation, but I don’t know if he made an official statement about it. The thing is…even without a dark past and traumatic experiences it’s possible to get depression, and this topic is so complex and individual, every story is different and unique, It can overlap, it can change, it can get better or worse, or both. Adhd itself and the sideeffects like masking and stuff can cause burnout and depression and anxiety and more, and often there’s not enough awareness and knowledge about it…so yeah I’m very relieved that he is so open about his struggles… I catched it when I watched the glitch film. After that, I knew.
@@Yoongisgreyhairs_ yes, we don’t know. With the little knowledge about him from videos and stuff we do not know him at all, not to mention assume any medical condition or neurotype. And, I would like to write this just in case, bc I do not know if you are an expert or affected person as well, symptoms vary a lot and not all symptoms are visible. So „all the symptoms“ does not exist, and it’s harmful to create the impression that diagnosing people on the internet from just looking at them is possible. Thank you for replying to me
Symptoms of depression (+ anxiety) and adhd/add overlap. That's why it's important to get a professional diagnosis to figure it out. I'm sometimes worried that Yoongi might have undiagnosed celiac disease or another form of gluten sensitivity since he mentioned "digestive issues from flour-based foods" and he clearly has some issues with chronic fatigue which people tend to view as part of his "lazy" personality. He still seems to consume some gluten, though (like alcohol-free beer and ramen). Gut health is extremely important for mental health because inflammation and nutrient deficiencies can cause or worsen symptoms. So, I hope he finds a way to eat healthily. (btw: Dr. Tracey Marks, Therapy in a Nutshell and HealthyGamerGG are great sources for mental health education on RUclips)
Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 7:55. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychologic condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.
I also noticed the hand with almonds Good reference! I also noted that that in Spanish they use the same word for tonsils and the amygdala since both are almond shaped, same word root origin: amígdala- tonsils and amígdala cerebral- amygdala. (Of the brain)
@@suzy7645 Very interesting! After reading your comment, I searched for more information on etymology and found exactly what you mentioned! [Amygdala (n.) part of the brain, from Latin amygdalum "almond" (which the brain parts resemble), from Greek amygdalē "almond" (see almond). English had also amygdales "the tonsils" (early 15c.), from a secondary sense of the Latin word in Medieval Latin, a translation of Arabic al-lauzatani "the two tonsils," literally "the two almonds," so called by Arabic physicians for fancied resemblance.]
I saw reactions come out from some other reactors and I have NOT DESIRE to watch them at all because I already know they won't get it. I'm grateful you posted yours Jose. Because you actually UNDERSTAND what it all means. You know the story and understand the trauma. Thanks for your reaction. I cried during and after. This is a hard one.
@@jabirsha6177 I like his reactions normally but I don’t think I could watch a reaction to Amygdala if it wasn’t from someone who is full on army. His breakdowns are good but this MV is different.
I think of this MV as the prequel story of the trilogy showing how the Agust D persona emerged through the trauma he experienced. Anyone one who has experienced trauma or has PTSD will understand that feeling of being locked in a dark memory. I think the room represents the place in his mind where his traumatic memories are (literally the Amygdala) and that he(Agust D) cannot escape from. The Yoongi from before the accident, before the trauma, the whole person that is Yoongi, cannot reach him, hence the two personas of Agust D and Suga that run parallel through Yoongi’s career up till 2023 when Suga shoots Agust D in Haegeum . I think of the smile that detective Agust D has, just before being shot, is almost a happy acceptance that he is not needed anymore and Yoongi will be whole again. The three MVs are a trilogy but a cyclical one. Amygdala is the start of the journey but that story only emerges at the end. Yoongi is indeed a genius.
I also caught that. I think working on this this last album was the closure he knew he needed. He mentioned on IU's show, "Pallet", that this album was probably the end of August D.
It really is different when an actual army reacts to this versus a casual fan/reactor. They gloss pass all the little things only army know and miss the point of the video all together. All the armys around the world probably held their breath when they saw that delivery bike. Not only we know his story but we watch this with hearts full of our immense love for yoongi and it's impossible not to get chocked up seeing him helpless. I'm thankful he moved past all of this and is in a better place now, and I hope we all can get there on our own too.
Just my own take, I'm almost so sure he self-harmed at some point, I can't forget that verse in 'The Last' where he opened up about going to a psychiatrist, and the long monotone beep to the question that was asked "Have you ever ---------". At that point most people were speculating it was the doctor asking about this, and in the song he replied 'unhesistantly, I said I did it'. That was his first mixtape. But having that in mind, this song and mv just made so much more sense to me personally, the pen knife and the self inflicted injury on Agust D's face. I never thought about the reason behind the concept of the scar, I always just assumed it was to look cool in the MV. But it might be so much more than that. He's been so transparent with his personal struggles through Agust D. As someone who suffered from depression at a young age and had to face a lot of consequences because of it, I can relate to him so much. And nobody can imagine the amount of things he had to go through, the way he was feeling during all of these, no one at all
on the 2nd time i watched the mv, i caught how pills and almonds are used interchangably bcs the amygdala, the part of the brain that makes you feel things and regulates emotions, is the size of an almond, and the reason why they're used in the MV that way is bcs those pills were to regulate his emotions, so he is consuming almond after almond, amygdala after amygdala, bcs his doesn't work the way it's supposed to. once i realized that, i just broke a little more. also, the scene of past yoongi running ot the room, trying to open the door for present yoongi shattered me.
I think the "almond" also represent a book that yoongi was seen reading during in the soop I think. The book is called "Almond" which a story of a guy who has a brain condition called "Alexithymia" which makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear, anger, and empathy. The condition is attributed to the lack of development of the amygdalae in the brain, responsible for emotional regulation. Though as yoongi said, anything is up to what our interpretation is, I think that's how I interpret the almond
For me the scar I think represents the physical pain he did to himself ,like when person get mentantlly exhausted he usually starts harming himself physically to ease the mental pain ,so I think yoongi did that to himself also as yoongi said that Agustd was born from his anger so that scar can also represent the anger towards the world or time like why he has to go through all of this he must have thought but now as that anger is subsided he killed that past version of himself
I think him trying to get out of the room is him trying to let go of past trauma. It’s not easy, and we will do unhealthy things to cope. He’s demonstrating that he has walked that same path and how difficult it is to deal with what’s in “the room“. Such a vulnerable and beautiful depiction.
I'm a crying mess. I didn't even realized i had tears in my eyes and face when I finished watching the MV. How much courage he must have had to share the most vulnerable moments of his life with us.. to relive the trauma and reenact it. I'm so proud and thankful of him Don't wanna make it about me but I saw pieces of myself there. I am streaming on RUclips and I get chills everytime I see him take that blade. I always end up with tears at the end seeing him not being able to open that door. I think I will switch to streaming on Spotify because my heart is beating so fast rn and even thinking about the MV makes something twist within me I'm so thankful to yoongi. I can't Believe I have someone like him in my life
What courage Suga has to share his past - and his pain - with us. Jose - you are so right!! We learn and grow from the difficult times we've survived. That being said, those hurts, and memories of those past hurts, are so very hard to let go of.
You’re not alone. I’ve watched it once and can’t rewatch it. I think I experienced a mini anxiety attack afterwards because I started shaking and crying for a while afterwards, (isn’t uncommon) even had to censor a few reactions to the MV. Just connects me even closer to him, as I’ve had similar struggles. I switched over to YT Music as I think it counts toward views and Billboard charting. Wanted to comment to reassure you, you weren’t the only one with that reaction. Hang in there, take care 💜
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou hey, fellow army.. take care of yourself... I'm sure his intentions are not to make anyone anxious but maybe we can be inspired and gain strength to face our demons and unpack them one by one... 💜
I believe that the room he is in is the amygdala. He can't get out of it, no matter how hard he tries. It's in there that the memories come back and repeat themselves every moment.
Thanks for uploading your reaction right away Jose...cause you're the only reactor I'm waiting. You know more about Yoongi's history than some other reactors. I have the same reaction as yours from the moment I saw the bike he's heading to. I immediately braced myself cause I knew what's coming next!!! I was actually tearing up while watching it cause now I'm not just reading/listening from all the lyrics about his life story....now I'm actually seeing it with my own eyes. Yoongi's pain, struggles and anger are all here in his memories....and it's not going away even if he wanted to. Even if he's already moved on from it and whose now emotionally stable. What I interpreted from the last part is I think the past Yoongi who was trying to save the scarred Agust D that was not saved...I think it's because that's his old memories, unfortunately the sad and painful ones stored into his brain that present Yoongi is trying to erase or escape from. But since it is his memories, we really can't erase or escape from it however we tried to. That's why present Yoongi...our Yoongi gave up from reaching to the door cause memories is something we can't just escape from. That's why we see the present image of Yoongi trapped in that room representing his amygdala with the scar on his face still. It only means that even if he's a new happy person now...he still have all those scars he experienced in his life. Yoongi was right, this is definitely the last chapter of Agust D. Agust D was his alter ego that was angry to the world and had lots of struggles in life. He said in his several interviews that Agust D is dead now. He's now SUGA . But the very sad part for this whole storyline for me....from Agust D, D2 and D-Day songs, Yoongi all tried to kill Agust D (which he did in Haegeum), but still Agust D remained in his memories. So he still remembers the pain he's gone through from time to time. I'm so sorry for this very long comment. I just wanna share my thoughts about all of it. And this MV really hits me hard. I'll be sleeping with a heavy heart tonight. But still thanks so much for Yoongi in sharing this to us and trusting ARMY!!! I admire and respect him more. I love Yoongi so much!!!
@@JoseOchoaTV Thanks so much Jose! I'm just happy that you're one of the few ARMY that I know who knows our boys' history well. We both got deep into this beautiful rabbit hole and I'm telling you the love I have for our boys is unconditional. They're the missing part of my life. And I know you know what I mean. Only the real ones know. OT7 forever!!! Love you my beautiful soul ARMY friend!! Enjoy the concert!! Pls give all my love and kisses to Yoong!...I can't go to the concert, our country is not on the list But do have fun!!! Borahae!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Your comment was a pleasure to read. I'm amazed at the deep understanding and empathy expressed in these comments. Thank you for taking the time to leave this beautifully worded comment.
I'm just super proud of yoongi to actually get past through such struggles in his past along side the struggles and hate that bts faced together as well. Yoongi is super brave to actually put this out there remembering those dark memories of his life. The shoulder accident during doing a pizza delivery, the lyric when he said " My accident I couldn't even tell someone" breaks my heart. His struggles with anxiety, depression, hate, physical and mental health. This music video is so dark but so real. we can see the true story of what Suga has suffered through ттт
Such a powerful MV and song. I love that Yoongi shows us his vulnerability and his struggles and pain. OMG I was crying so much when I watched it, when I saw the motorbike, I KNEW what was coming next! 😭His sweet and cute innocent face right before the accident OMG. 🥺He is so brave to confront his pain, injuries and dark feelings from his past and to reveal to us it is okay to have these feelings and to confront them and accept them. Yoongi is a genius and an inspiration to all. 😭💜💜💜😭I love this KING so much, I'm so proud of him. 💜💜💜Thank you Yoongi for this glimpse into your personal past trauma, I am forever grateful. 💜Thank you for this beautiful song, MV and message.💜👏
Yoongi sharing this will help so many people. Very thankful for such a precious man. I have no words to describe my admiration for him. It takes my breath away. I don't even know how Jimin was able to keep himself together when he finally understood what his Hyung was sharing with him during the In the Soop filming. He has also said that these difficult memories sometimes need to be pulled out so that the amygdala remembers how to activate itself to prevent us from going through the same experiences again. He essentially has studied himself very throughly in order to figure out how he can help himself. He was basically asking his own self to help himself.
Chapter 2 is truly a roller coaster ride of emotions and I appreciate our guys so much more for who they are and the music they make. Being veteran ARMY, I thought I knew the troubles and hardships they went through but each album so far has been a new discovery on so many levels. I am extremely proud of BTS and who they have become as humans. And unbelievably grateful to them for trusting us with their rawest emotions. It takes so much courage to open up and be this real, raw and vulnerable. But it proves that BTS & ARMY undeniably have a very strong bond and a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other. I can't wait to hear the remaining albums. BTS is artistry at its best. Thank you Yoongi - our genius mastermind. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Suga continues to let us in to his inner most deepest and darkest thoughts. He has shown us, that even with success, fame and love around him, a person can feel depressed and defeated. He has also shown us, that there is light, happiness and self love on the other side. All of the boys have expressed their feels of loneliness and depression throughout the years, but I do feel BTS 2.0 is the era of balance, love and happiness for all 7 members. Their bond, love and admiration for each other is so apparent. Sending much love to our OT7💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 OT7 FOREVER!!!
This MV/Song totally broke me. I can relate because I have had similar things happen to me. I have been trying for years to let it go. I know it takes time and every day I am a bit more free. Thank you Min Yoongi for sharing your story with us all. 💜🫰
As I interpret the mv. It's mostly the past that he "hid" and "locked". Afar from that also the feelings of guilt, anger, sadness. He couldn't get back and "save himself" a wishful dream he wanted to undo yet he locked them and moved on but the "scars" still lingers. The fear, pain and memories that can't be erased hunts him. Still he lives on it and "accepts" (rain at the end) idk Jose i still feel vain at this point. It feels like he's not finished telling a very long story. 😢 ❤i feel sadness seeing this. I'm still crying and feel lost atm.
I was at work when the video was uploaded and I stopped everything to watch it. Then I had to hold back my tears and felt a tightness in my chest. I was feeling and seeing his pain at the same time. Yoongi is an admirable person; knowing everything he suffered and overcame; seeing all of his accomplishments and the quality of artistry and honesty that he continues to provide us with, makes me love him more. He's just wonderful
When Daechwita was released, he said he added the scar because it looked cool. But now it seems the scar represents his painful memories and experiences that put a scar on his psyche, technically his amygdala. It may also represent attempts at or thoughts of self-harm which he mentioned in past songs like The Last- “Have you ever (bleep)? “ And “sleeping on the bathroom floor” which can be interpreted as thoughts or attempts of su!cide or self harm. I got 2 separate pop-up warnings about self- harm before playing the video.
Those that won a fan call with Yoongi better not go out there saying unnecessary things like "Yoongi marry me" and "be my boyfriend" nonsense. You guys better say meaningful things to this man and hopefully other members when they decide to fan calls or even weverse lives.
I don't know how long the call would be. But if it were me, as a rude American, I would probably tell him how much his music has helped me through the hardest moments of my life. Then, when he was uncomfortable, I would probably say "so marry me Yoongi!" to make him laugh. :D
This mv hit me real hard. I was already emotional at the beginning just from seeing him lying there but as soon as I saw the bike it was over for me. This is such a personal song on so many levels and I fear most of us don't deserve Min Yoongi's vulnerability but on the other side he actively decided to share it with us and for that I've the most respect and feel just thankful. I often joke around about how he's kind of my spirit animal because I feel I can relate to him so much but the truth is I just admire him so much - he's a role model to me in many regards.
😢it tells how he suffer from being poor and car accident in the past specially his suffering in deep depression before this all his going through his struggles in the past 😢😢😢😢 lets give him a big hug 🫂 for being pure and trusting armys to share the shadow of the very painful past of him 😢
Min Yoongi gave us a look into his inner self. His struggles that he had to overcome and become who he is today! What a beautiful man who made us love him even more. I Borahae Suga/AGUST D!🥺👑💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Video is powerful and emotional! Your honest reaction is necessary because it can support those who watch to see that pain trauma and healing are emotional. There’s no soft way to see it! August D is a blessing and a beautiful spirit I am so happy he moved pass this and is a support for us all! 💜🙏🏽💜
I am honored to have known Yoongi as much as I do in this lifetime. I am honored that he felt comfortable enough with ARMY to share his pain, his insecurities, his heartache, his grief. I know we will meet in our next life, but in this one I am healed because he cracked open the vault of his pain to share it with me. He relived his agony so that I could get past mine. He will forever be my safe space. I am so very proud of his accomplishments. May he be blessed abundantly, over and above his wildest expectations. 💜
Yes, Jose. We love and respect Yoongi/Suga/Agust D even more. He really trusts us. Everything does happen for a reason. So glad that he is embracing his painful past. It shows us that we can too.
how FUCKING brave do you have to be to open yourself up like this to the world. Oh he is strong, so so strong. And I am eternaly grateful that he has found a way to cope. B/c there are the ones who didn´ t. (R.I.P.)
So I'm not the only one who teared up watching it... 😢 It's so incredibly personal, raw and honest. This entire trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece! 💜
The way you paused when you saw the motorcycle was my exact reaction. I didn't even see the crash yet and was already crying 😭. Youngi has my whole heart!
This one really resonates with me the most at personal level. Just hearing the intro tears me up. The visual imagery this video has is on point for someone struggling with painful memories. Thank you Suga T_T
Thank you Jose. I think only those that know his story get this. We understand his raw emotion. We knew bare facts (accident, struggle being an idol, dealing with fame) now we get the real emotions (as well as super personal stuff - omg his parents!). This ties in to Haegum in that he feels free to tell us now. He's gone through these things and emerged on the other side. You're exactly right as well in that we'll love him more, I didn't think I could but I do. I've always thought that the one thing I'd say to him if I ever met him was, "Thank you for sharing part of your soul with the world through your music." It is a beautiful soul. A human soul.
I never cried more when watching a MV like when I did when I watched Amygdala. I feel so blessed to have him in my life, to enjoy his music and take comfort from it, to be able respect, admire and relate to someone like he is. What an artist, what a courageous beautiful man, what a gift.
This is so painful for me to watch... Been in the fandom for almost 3 years now and I always thought of yoongi as a calm and a strong person. I m just realising how mentally strong he actually is... To write lyrics based on your past trauma, to talk about it all, to make a mv and share it with the world, he is so brave :( He trusted us enough to share this part of himself and I m just so overwhelmed.. he is an inspiration to many and I can not stop the tears
i had the same reaction the moment i saw him getting on the motorcycle tbh 🥺🥺 i cried watching the whole mv and felt yoongi’s raw emotions. i also cried watching the live version from his documentary huhuhuhu but this was so brave of yoongi as he revisits this unfortunate part of his life. i just wanna give him a super tight hug once again. i always love his sincerity and how he trusts army so much 🥹😭 this mv was also brilliantly made, touching our hearts and finally giving us a backstory of how the scar came to life! thank u as always for the reaction. 💜
I love this MV and song so much, it literally breaks my heart just having visuals to the stories of trauma that he’s gone through in the past. I also think the scar is a reference to his song The Last where he mentions that a therapist asked him if he ever thought of self harm/su*cide and he told him that he had, that’s just my interpretation on it. I’ve always appreciated how vulnerable the boys are with us in a way that we share each others pain and I will be an Army for the rest of my life 😭😭😭
Jose, Thank you for your emotions and interpretations. I think we all felt it, and realized just how raw, vulnerable and human, this was from Yoongi. No matter how bad things get, we need to keep moving forward. There is a light, and we always have choices that makes us stronger, helps us grow, and define who we become. It's relatable to anyone's struggles in life. And maybe show a little compassion & kindness to others, because you never know what's behind the smiling mask we all wear sometimes. Love to BTS, Love to Armys. 💜💜
yoongi is such a brave soul... he's a fighter. and imagine the years he's showed us such love and honesty despite going through all these things... i'm just grateful he's here and smiling.
Honestly while watching this mv I couldn't stop crying 🥺🥺My heart has been broken into thousand pieces 💔💔thank-you suga for overcome all those pain full memories and became the strongest man alive 😊 you're truly are my inspiration 🥰🥰🥰
I really love how beautiful and artistic this MV is, but what I love the most is how meaningful it is! Amygdala is such a beautiful song with a huge emotional weight... Yoongi had to explore and open wounds of all these traumas and painful moments in order to liberate himself from it and rebirth in life as he mentioned in the song D_DAY too. We know this process was not easy it all, it was actually really painful like he mentioned in his documentary. I'M CRYING 😭 It's already one of my favorites ever. Thank you Yoongi for sharing this album with us, an album full of really personal stories and songs that can give strength and help other people too. I'm so proud of being an army, I'm proud of supporting him. He's an incredible artist and a really admirable person. 😭 WE LOVE YOU YOONGI. I hope in the future you have days full of happiness and love because you deserve it. THIS IS A LIVING WORK OF ART, OF MEMORIES, PAIN AND SUFFERING. THIS WORK IS CALLED "OVERCOME". APPLAUSE TO FENIX SUGA. 👏👏
Thank you so much for being so sensitive about this. It’s obviously a very heavy topic for us as fans to learn about, and I’m just grateful to him and proud that he’s inviting us in and being so brave, exposing himself to the whole world.
The mv was age restricted and I am 16 so I came here to understand the mv, and I guess I got to know why it was age restricted, I am broken into pieces, thank you for reacting on it. No wonder min yoongi is the strongest person I have ever seen 😭😭💔
He is so brave to share such a personal, sad and painful experience with us and I love him for his honesty and pure heart. Thank you Jose for your genuine reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jose - I see the scar part a little differently. I think that the scar represents agust D and it was the shit that yoongi/suga went thro’ that brought agust d alive. It was his way of coping
Yes! Yes! This is the reaction I wanted! Jose, just like how Yoongi trust us with sharing his story, I want to thank you for sharing your analysis and reaction to this MV..at this point I’ve seen quite a lot of reactions from different people, but yours is the best! And I think it’s because you know the backstory of the various scenes. The delivery scene, I had the exact same reaction as you..I had to pause and think if what I was going to see was what I was thinking of. I love how you used the words ‘he’s trying to save himself’. It made this song so much more heartbreaking for me. The MV was aesthetically beautiful, and the song was raw and so good! I believe this album is one, if not the best creations he’s made. We are so proud of how beautifully Min Yoongi has grown! Also, I’m so happy you are going to the concert to support him. I would love to hear your recap of the concert, since I can’t go and I would love to live vicariously through you lol. Have fun!
What I love most about BTS is that they’re not afraid to show their vulnerability. That’s just so precious. So many people are scared of doing that. It’s part of what makes them so relatable and endearing. Thank you, Jose. Been following you since my first day of becoming an ARMY 4 years ago and have watched your early reactions to BTS too. I’m enjoy this journey with you. Much love,
I love Yoongi for sharing his past and painful memories and his thoughts that you have to move through them to become who you are. He suggested that you watch the trilogy in order which I did before watching your reaction. I hope everyone gets it like you did. The visuals of the MV drive home the point he is trying to help us see. Thank you Jose for your very real reaction to ‘Amygdala’💜
Thanks Jose. Yoongi just open up to us that people are so judgmental and putting us in his shoes of all this struggles. Summing up his struggles. It hits hard because I really understand what he was going through. I’m proud of Yoongi for fight back and seeing that hardship is a beautiful thing to look back in all the lessons we learned. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
As someone that has been through depression pretty recently, I just wish I could hug Yoongi with all my strength and comfort him. I know he feels better right now, but even the memories of that period of time can be painful. I cried when the video came out and I'm crying again right now cause Yoongi means so much to me and all of us, that it pains me to know he suffered like this. At the same time, I'm thankful he seems to be healing... I just want him to be happy and have a good life.
This song and the MV. 😢 That Yoongi finally felt comfortable sharing his private pain with us means so much. I feel that he has come so far in overcoming his pain from the past and moving forward. After hardships in my own life I do believe the old saying that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Thank you so much Jose. 💜
I'm interpreting the grey-clothed Yoongi as his Amygdala (his mental state). I take the physical carving of the scar as his mental thoughts of taking his own life, which we all know were present at some time in the past (and that's why I think it's healed in Haegeum, cause he is feeling good at the moment). I kind of didn't understood the almonds his one self is eating and comparing to pills. The amygdala is indeed shaped as an almond. Little fact which some may not have heard - eating almonds actually serve as stress and anxiety reliever! Also the latin name of the almond tree is Prunus amygdalus (the amygdala is named after the shape so some may know this).
My God, Yoongi is so generous with himself!! Giving off so much of himself to the world to share his hurts and pains, such a very personal song but actually help a lot in facing our own hurts and pains and coming to terms with it. His album is like a diary, the stories he conveys in his music are all interconnected with each other. This is so raw, honest and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Jose 💜
This song made me cry when I watched it live in NY and just the MC, this song brings me a lot of comfort because I too suffered and Im not even 16 yet, this song brings me so many memories that my parents forbid me from listening to it, and yet here I am🙂💜 BTW, when I was watching the MV for the first time and I just saw the motorcycle, I had the reaction as you.
I never cry while watching something, but this just broke it. I've always known how much he's been through but seeing a video of it all by him hurts so much and I want the best for him every single second
Yoongi’s storytelling through his music is truly inspiring. I am forever grateful that he trusts us so much to share something so traumatic and personal. Anyone who says this man is cold has no idea who he is. Min Yoongi I love you!
I appreciate someone who understands Yoongi before commenting on his work. TY Jose!! My thoughts..the past YG couldn't save him..self harm couldn't save him. There's a Yoongi there in a green hoodie, calmly watching and having some snacks. I think that is our Yoongi today.. looking back on his trauma and how he struggled for so long, but now..he's really doing ok. Whether it is a cryptic shirt..or just a t shirt..his white shirt under leather jacket says 'All the rumours are true'. I've seen that his final show in Seoul will be live streamed..I'm hoping that's when he'll have a few guests..such as Jimin..RM..IU..?!?! 😯😯😯
For me, it was that you can't escape the past. Sometimes a small thing can trigger you and you are right back there. I had abusive relationship and every now and then a gesture or a word and I am that scared woman again.
Jose, yours will be the only reaction I will watch for Amygdala, because you are the only one I trust to understand everything this MV means. It is raw and it is painful to hear and watch him eviscerate his feelings like this. It takes so much courage to lay your vulnerability bare for everyone to see. We must never take the trust he has in us lightly. We're privileged. Thank you for sharing 💜
I couldn't stop crying remind me feel so many emotions I really did teach me a lot I went through so many should in my life and this song made me cry I'm really blessed he wants to show his emotions through his music thank you yoongi
It’s so much. I can’t stop crying. I just can’t believe here it is!! He just suppressed soooooo much for so long!!!!! MY YOONGI!! Oh I love him so much
Yoongi has overcome so much in his life, and I love how real and open he is! He may not always show it but he has a beautiful heart. I'm so proud of him and how far he's come.
I think Yoongi got us all with this MV. Even though we should have expected it after listening to his song. The MV literally had me crying into my pillow 💜 Sending a big ARMY hug
I’ve watched this mv so many times and I can’t help but cry each time. Such an incredible video that portrays what Yoongi went through.This song is definitely my favourite on the album, it just hits different. Yoongi is a strong person and I’m forever thankful for him 💜
I really love how beautiful and artistic this MV is, but what I love the most is how meaningful it is! Amygdala is such a beautiful song with a huge emotional weight... Yoongi had to explore and open wounds of all these traumas and painful moments in order to liberate himself from it and rebirth in life as he mentioned in the song D_DAY too. We know this process was not easy it all, it was actually really painful like he mentioned in his documentary. I'M CRYING 😭 It's already one of my favorites ever. Thank you Yoongi for sharing this album with us, an album full of really personal stories and songs that can give strength and help other people too. I'm so proud of being an army, I'm proud of supporting him. He's an incredible artist and a really admirable person. 😭💜 WE LOVE YOU YOONGI. I hope in the future you have days full of happiness and love because you deserve it.
Yoongi Is a incredible human being, he has the courage to show to the entire world how to take good decisions in spite of all the sufferings he had to feel, it Is not a MV, it Is Yoongi's open heart, thanks my beloved boy to share with us your strenght.
Amygdala mv really did a great job of visualizing and representing the fight/flight response, the wave of emotions, fighting the inner battles of yourselves, and the effect of the trauma. Honestly, it feel like that yoongi really understands the pain that we share through the toughest and the darkest times of our lives. I cried cause I myself was a SA/ s*!c!d3 survivor, and the mv really reflects my own pain and the trauma that I gone through at a very young age. The fears that I have, fighting my inner self, getting drowned into the void and the darkness, and me keeping the inner child in me alive and protecting it from the pain of my past. And all the sh!t that I gone throughout of my childhood. Yoongi is one of the most strongest person in this world, even when he himself gone through a lot of pain, suffering, and trauma in his life. He’s not afraid to share this with us and yes, this is a whole new level of trust that yoongi have for army. Yoongi deserves all the happiness and love in this world. Remember that you’re loved and appreciated, and that you’re not alone. Army and BTS are always there for you through the darkest or toughest times of your lives.
I am so humbled that Yoongi wanted to share this with us. Thanks for watching.

Thats what's called a Masterpiece..oh its sooo lovable..the way he has made his pains scream out of the music video..god bless him..
Same. I knew Yoongi mentioned the accident in the song but I didn't think he'd show it in the MV. Thank you for this reaction, Jose, and have a blast at the concert! Purple you! 💜
Have a good time at the concert 💜
Have a blast at the concert! then please tell us all about your experience!
The same, Jose. Just the thought of Yoongi, Suga/Agust D allowing us to travel through his most personal memories is profound and emotional.🥹 It takes a lot of courage. Some might not relate to his painful experiences, but as human beings with feelings one is able to put ourselves in their shoes (if just for a short moment) and feel the same pain, also feel happy that Yoongi is in a better place now.🫶 Enjoy the concert.
I don't ever want to hear anyone say that Yoongi is cold-hearted. EVER. This man decided to trust us with these moments in his life. His vulnerability just 💜😭
Agreed. May I add to your heartfelt comment and share: “ Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before you hurt someone, feel. Before you speak, think.” - Quote from Quick Flick 🫶
Like how precious is he to open up and be vulnerable and decided to share this VERY personal memories n trauma to us so it can help us and more people dealing with trauma 🥺🥺 and also hes been thru soo much and still has so much love to give to us??? Like howwww??? He deserves all the love and all the hugs!!! I love him sm!! 💜💜💜
He's very warm-hearted human ever 🥹 He shared his pain to us cause he trust us to be with him.
Jose, we are all touched, as you were, by this MV. He shared his raw, painful past with us. I hope this helps people have the courage to seek help when they need it. My interpretation of the locked door is that he hasn't quite reached the point where he's able to free himself from the past. When he does reach that point, only then will the door stay open. He will be able to freely come and go in the room (the amygdala) without being trapped again in the past.
Yoongi is a true mental health advocate. He’s doing so much for people with all kind of mental health issues and neurodivergent people as well. I‘m so greatful. Representation matters. He believes that those things are not meant to stay locked behind doors and walls. He wants people to see and bear with us.
Sharing this mv, this song, this album…it means everything 💜
Thank you for your reaction 💜
Yes he himself has ocd depression and adhd the depression was caused by his dark past I feel really bad for him
@@Yoongisgreyhairs_ I‘m not really sure about him having adhd, I know he mentioned it in bcs video when they tried to do meditation, but I don’t know if he made an official statement about it.
The thing is…even without a dark past and traumatic experiences it’s possible to get depression, and this topic is so complex and individual, every story is different and unique, It can overlap, it can change, it can get better or worse, or both. Adhd itself and the sideeffects like masking and stuff can cause burnout and depression and anxiety and more, and often there’s not enough awareness and knowledge about it…so yeah I’m very relieved that he is so open about his struggles… I catched it when I watched the glitch film. After that, I knew.
@@dopaminish2099 I mean he does have all the symptoms so maybe he does but idk
@@Yoongisgreyhairs_ yes, we don’t know. With the little knowledge about him from videos and stuff we do not know him at all, not to mention assume any medical condition or neurotype.
And, I would like to write this just in case, bc I do not know if you are an expert or affected person as well, symptoms vary a lot and not all symptoms are visible. So „all the symptoms“ does not exist, and it’s harmful to create the impression that diagnosing people on the internet from just looking at them is possible. Thank you for replying to me
Symptoms of depression (+ anxiety) and adhd/add overlap. That's why it's important to get a professional diagnosis to figure it out.
I'm sometimes worried that Yoongi might have undiagnosed celiac disease or another form of gluten sensitivity since he mentioned "digestive issues from flour-based foods" and he clearly has some issues with chronic fatigue which people tend to view as part of his "lazy" personality. He still seems to consume some gluten, though (like alcohol-free beer and ramen). Gut health is extremely important for mental health because inflammation and nutrient deficiencies can cause or worsen symptoms. So, I hope he finds a way to eat healthily.
(btw: Dr. Tracey Marks, Therapy in a Nutshell and HealthyGamerGG are great sources for mental health education on RUclips)
Please note the split-second image of a hand holding almonds at 7:55. This is a reference to ALMOND: A NOVEL about a guy who has trouble identifying and describing experienced emotions because of a neuropsychologic condition (alexithymia). The "almond" refers to the amygdala, an almond-shaped area of the brain. Yoongi was seen reading this book in a preview to IN THE SOOP. The book is on Namjoon's recommended list.
Oh Thanks for the info🥺
Thank you.
Thank you for adding this piece of info
I also noticed the hand with almonds Good reference! I also noted that that in Spanish they use the same word for tonsils and the amygdala since both are almond shaped, same word root origin: amígdala- tonsils and amígdala cerebral- amygdala. (Of the brain)
@@suzy7645 Very interesting! After reading your comment, I searched for more information on etymology and found exactly what you mentioned! [Amygdala (n.) part of the brain, from Latin amygdalum "almond" (which the brain parts resemble), from Greek amygdalē "almond" (see almond). English had also amygdales "the tonsils" (early 15c.), from a secondary sense of the Latin word in Medieval Latin, a translation of Arabic al-lauzatani "the two tonsils," literally "the two almonds," so called by Arabic physicians for fancied resemblance.]
I saw reactions come out from some other reactors and I have NOT DESIRE to watch them at all because I already know they won't get it. I'm grateful you posted yours Jose. Because you actually UNDERSTAND what it all means. You know the story and understand the trauma. Thanks for your reaction. I cried during and after. This is a hard one.
Thank you so much 💜
Let's not reccommend this m/v to new fans or people who don't listen to k-pop in general, cause they won't be able to understand it at all.
You have to watch knox hill reaction
@@jabirsha6177 I like his reactions normally but I don’t think I could watch a reaction to Amygdala if it wasn’t from someone who is full on army. His breakdowns are good but this MV is different.
@@jabirsha6177 Knox doesn’t have Amygdala reaction yet, but he *did* react to Haegum.
I think of this MV as the prequel story of the trilogy showing how the Agust D persona emerged through the trauma he experienced. Anyone one who has experienced trauma or has PTSD will understand that feeling of being locked in a dark memory. I think the room represents the place in his mind where his traumatic memories are (literally the Amygdala) and that he(Agust D) cannot escape from. The Yoongi from before the accident, before the trauma, the whole person that is Yoongi, cannot reach him, hence the two personas of Agust D and Suga that run parallel through Yoongi’s career up till 2023 when Suga shoots Agust D in Haegeum . I think of the smile that detective Agust D has, just before being shot, is almost a happy acceptance that he is not needed anymore and Yoongi will be whole again.
The three MVs are a trilogy but a cyclical one. Amygdala is the start of the journey but that story only emerges at the end. Yoongi is indeed a genius.
THAT makes so much sense
I am so impressed with the comments here! What an insightful group!
I also caught that. I think working on this this last album was the closure he knew he needed. He mentioned on IU's show, "Pallet", that this album was probably the end of August D.
You are so right Marilyn❤️ August D needs a closure…am looking forward to Suga’s musical genius post military enlistment.🤩 that is BTS chapter 3.
Just ❤ your article.
It really is different when an actual army reacts to this versus a casual fan/reactor. They gloss pass all the little things only army know and miss the point of the video all together. All the armys around the world probably held their breath when they saw that delivery bike. Not only we know his story but we watch this with hearts full of our immense love for yoongi and it's impossible not to get chocked up seeing him helpless. I'm thankful he moved past all of this and is in a better place now, and I hope we all can get there on our own too.
As soon as he put on the helmet, I knew where this was going. Such a raw MV that he entrusted us with. I wish I could give him a hug. 💔🫂💜
Just my own take, I'm almost so sure he self-harmed at some point, I can't forget that verse in 'The Last' where he opened up about going to a psychiatrist, and the long monotone beep to the question that was asked "Have you ever ---------". At that point most people were speculating it was the doctor asking about this, and in the song he replied 'unhesistantly, I said I did it'. That was his first mixtape. But having that in mind, this song and mv just made so much more sense to me personally, the pen knife and the self inflicted injury on Agust D's face. I never thought about the reason behind the concept of the scar, I always just assumed it was to look cool in the MV. But it might be so much more than that. He's been so transparent with his personal struggles through Agust D. As someone who suffered from depression at a young age and had to face a lot of consequences because of it, I can relate to him so much. And nobody can imagine the amount of things he had to go through, the way he was feeling during all of these, no one at all
on the 2nd time i watched the mv, i caught how pills and almonds are used interchangably bcs the amygdala, the part of the brain that makes you feel things and regulates emotions, is the size of an almond, and the reason why they're used in the MV that way is bcs those pills were to regulate his emotions, so he is consuming almond after almond, amygdala after amygdala, bcs his doesn't work the way it's supposed to. once i realized that, i just broke a little more. also, the scene of past yoongi running ot the room, trying to open the door for present yoongi shattered me.
Very insightful!!!!!
I think the "almond" also represent a book that yoongi was seen reading during in the soop I think. The book is called "Almond" which a story of a guy who has a brain condition called "Alexithymia" which makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear, anger, and empathy. The condition is attributed to the lack of development of the amygdalae in the brain, responsible for emotional regulation. Though as yoongi said, anything is up to what our interpretation is, I think that's how I interpret the almond
For me the scar I think represents the physical pain he did to himself ,like when person get mentantlly exhausted he usually starts harming himself physically to ease the mental pain ,so I think yoongi did that to himself also as yoongi said that Agustd was born from his anger so that scar can also represent the anger towards the world or time like why he has to go through all of this he must have thought but now as that anger is subsided he killed that past version of himself
I think him trying to get out of the room is him trying to let go of past trauma. It’s not easy, and we will do unhealthy things to cope. He’s demonstrating that he has walked that same path and how difficult it is to deal with what’s in “the room“. Such a vulnerable and beautiful depiction.
Yoongi's journey... he trusted ARMY with this. 💜
I'm a crying mess. I didn't even realized i had tears in my eyes and face when I finished watching the MV. How much courage he must have had to share the most vulnerable moments of his life with us.. to relive the trauma and reenact it. I'm so proud and thankful of him
Don't wanna make it about me but I saw pieces of myself there. I am streaming on RUclips and I get chills everytime I see him take that blade. I always end up with tears at the end seeing him not being able to open that door. I think I will switch to streaming on Spotify because my heart is beating so fast rn and even thinking about the MV makes something twist within me
I'm so thankful to yoongi. I can't Believe I have someone like him in my life
They saved us and in turn they earned our respect
pls take care of yourself
What courage Suga has to share his past - and his pain - with us. Jose - you are so right!! We learn and grow from the difficult times we've survived. That being said, those hurts, and memories of those past hurts, are so very hard to let go of.
You’re not alone. I’ve watched it once and can’t rewatch it. I think I experienced a mini anxiety attack afterwards because I started shaking and crying for a while afterwards, (isn’t uncommon) even had to censor a few reactions to the MV. Just connects me even closer to him, as I’ve had similar struggles. I switched over to YT Music as I think it counts toward views and Billboard charting. Wanted to comment to reassure you, you weren’t the only one with that reaction. Hang in there, take care 💜
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou hey, fellow army.. take care of yourself... I'm sure his intentions are not to make anyone anxious but maybe we can be inspired and gain strength to face our demons and unpack them one by one...
💜
I believe that the room he is in is the amygdala. He can't get out of it, no matter how hard he tries. It's in there that the memories come back and repeat themselves every moment.
Thanks for uploading your reaction right away Jose...cause you're the only reactor I'm waiting. You know more about Yoongi's history than some other reactors. I have the same reaction as yours from the moment I saw the bike he's heading to. I immediately braced myself cause I knew what's coming next!!!
I was actually tearing up while watching it cause now I'm not just reading/listening from all the lyrics about his life story....now I'm actually seeing it with my own eyes. Yoongi's pain, struggles and anger are all here in his memories....and it's not going away even if he wanted to. Even if he's already moved on from it and whose now emotionally stable.
What I interpreted from the last part is I think the past Yoongi who was trying to save the scarred Agust D that was not saved...I think it's because that's his old memories, unfortunately the sad and painful ones stored into his brain that present Yoongi is trying to erase or escape from. But since it is his memories, we really can't erase or escape from it however we tried to.
That's why present Yoongi...our Yoongi gave up from reaching to the door cause memories is something we can't just escape from. That's why we see the present image of Yoongi trapped in that room representing his amygdala with the scar on his face still.
It only means that even if he's a new happy person now...he still have all those scars he experienced in his life. Yoongi was right, this is definitely the last chapter of Agust D. Agust D was his alter ego that was angry to the world and had lots of struggles in life. He said in his several interviews that Agust D is dead now. He's now SUGA .
But the very sad part for this whole storyline for me....from Agust D, D2 and D-Day songs, Yoongi all tried to kill Agust D (which he did in Haegeum), but still Agust D remained in his memories. So he still remembers the pain he's gone through from time to time.
I'm so sorry for this very long comment. I just wanna share my thoughts about all of it. And this MV really hits me hard. I'll be sleeping with a heavy heart tonight. But still thanks so much for Yoongi in sharing this to us and trusting ARMY!!! I admire and respect him more. I love Yoongi so much!!!
Don’t ever apologize for a beautiful comment like this. Thanks for expressing yourself 💜
@@JoseOchoaTV Thanks so much Jose! I'm just happy that you're one of the few ARMY that I know who knows our boys' history well. We both got deep into this beautiful rabbit hole and I'm telling you the love I have for our boys is unconditional. They're the missing part of my life. And I know you know what I mean. Only the real ones know. OT7 forever!!! Love you my beautiful soul ARMY friend!! Enjoy the concert!! Pls give all my love and kisses to Yoong!...I can't go to the concert, our country is not on the list But do have fun!!! Borahae!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Your comment was a pleasure to read. I'm amazed at the deep understanding and empathy expressed in these comments. Thank you for taking the time to leave this beautifully worded comment.
Thank you for writing this. Well said.
@@joyceong946 i love u thank u
I'm just super proud of yoongi to actually get past through such struggles in his past along side the struggles and hate that bts faced together as well. Yoongi is super brave to actually put this out there remembering those dark memories of his life.
The shoulder accident during doing a pizza delivery, the lyric when he said " My accident I couldn't even tell someone" breaks my heart.
His struggles with anxiety, depression, hate, physical and mental health.
This music video is so dark but so real. we can see the true story of what Suga has suffered through ттт
Such a powerful MV and song. I love that Yoongi shows us his vulnerability and his struggles and pain. OMG I was crying so much when I watched it, when I saw the motorbike, I KNEW what was coming next! 😭His sweet and cute innocent face right before the accident OMG. 🥺He is so brave to confront his pain, injuries and dark feelings from his past and to reveal to us it is okay to have these feelings and to confront them and accept them. Yoongi is a genius and an inspiration to all. 😭💜💜💜😭I love this KING so much, I'm so proud of him. 💜💜💜Thank you Yoongi for this glimpse into your personal past trauma, I am forever grateful. 💜Thank you for this beautiful song, MV and message.💜👏
Yoongi sharing this will help so many people. Very thankful for such a precious man. I have no words to describe my admiration for him. It takes my breath away. I don't even know how Jimin was able to keep himself together when he finally understood what his Hyung was sharing with him during the In the Soop filming.
He has also said that these difficult memories sometimes need to be pulled out so that the amygdala remembers how to activate itself to prevent us from going through the same experiences again. He essentially has studied himself very throughly in order to figure out how he can help himself. He was basically asking his own self to help himself.
Chapter 2 is truly a roller coaster ride of emotions and I appreciate our guys so much more for who they are and the music they make. Being veteran ARMY, I thought I knew the troubles and hardships they went through but each album so far has been a new discovery on so many levels. I am extremely proud of BTS and who they have become as humans. And unbelievably grateful to them for trusting us with their rawest emotions. It takes so much courage to open up and be this real, raw and vulnerable. But it proves that BTS & ARMY undeniably have a very strong bond and a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other. I can't wait to hear the remaining albums. BTS is artistry at its best. Thank you Yoongi - our genius mastermind. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Suga continues to let us in to his inner most deepest and darkest thoughts. He has shown us, that even with success, fame and love around him, a person can feel depressed and defeated. He has also shown us, that there is light, happiness and self love on the other side. All of the boys have expressed their feels of loneliness and depression throughout the years, but I do feel BTS 2.0 is the era of balance, love and happiness for all 7 members. Their bond, love and admiration for each other is so apparent. Sending much love to our OT7💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 OT7 FOREVER!!!
So beautifully expressed. Thank you.
Forever OT7 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This MV/Song totally broke me. I can relate because I have had similar things happen to me. I have been trying for years to let it go. I know it takes time and every day I am a bit more free.
Thank you Min Yoongi for sharing your story with us all. 💜🫰
I totally can relate...💜
It does take time but you will get there.
As I interpret the mv. It's mostly the past that he "hid" and "locked". Afar from that also the feelings of guilt, anger, sadness. He couldn't get back and "save himself" a wishful dream he wanted to undo yet he locked them and moved on but the "scars" still lingers. The fear, pain and memories that can't be erased hunts him. Still he lives on it and "accepts" (rain at the end) idk Jose i still feel vain at this point. It feels like he's not finished telling a very long story. 😢 ❤i feel sadness seeing this. I'm still crying and feel lost atm.
I was at work when the video was uploaded and I stopped everything to watch it. Then I had to hold back my tears and felt a tightness in my chest. I was feeling and seeing his pain at the same time. Yoongi is an admirable person; knowing everything he suffered and overcame; seeing all of his accomplishments and the quality of artistry and honesty that he continues to provide us with, makes me love him more. He's just wonderful
When Daechwita was released, he said he added the scar because it looked cool. But now it seems the scar represents his painful memories and experiences that put a scar on his psyche, technically his amygdala. It may also represent attempts at or thoughts of self-harm which he mentioned in past songs like The Last- “Have you ever (bleep)? “ And “sleeping on the bathroom floor” which can be interpreted as thoughts or attempts of su!cide or self harm. I got 2 separate pop-up warnings about self- harm before playing the video.
Those that won a fan call with Yoongi better not go out there saying unnecessary things like "Yoongi marry me" and "be my boyfriend" nonsense. You guys better say meaningful things to this man and hopefully other members when they decide to fan calls or even weverse lives.
Exactly!
Yes like- thanks for sharing your struggle with us, which is your favorite Agust D song, …
😔 Yes, please.. Let your words travel to their ears.
Oh GOD say it again for the fools in the back!!!! 💜 and all the one's at the concert with their wedding dresses on and signs!
I don't know how long the call would be. But if it were me, as a rude American, I would probably tell him how much his music has helped me through the hardest moments of my life. Then, when he was uncomfortable, I would probably say "so marry me Yoongi!" to make him laugh. :D
This mv hit me real hard. I was already emotional at the beginning just from seeing him lying there but as soon as I saw the bike it was over for me. This is such a personal song on so many levels and I fear most of us don't deserve Min Yoongi's vulnerability but on the other side he actively decided to share it with us and for that I've the most respect and feel just thankful. I often joke around about how he's kind of my spirit animal because I feel I can relate to him so much but the truth is I just admire him so much - he's a role model to me in many regards.
I feel like he's my spirit animal too. I have never loved a celebrity as much as I love Yoongi.
😢it tells how he suffer from being poor and car accident in the past specially his suffering in deep depression before this all his going through his struggles in the past 😢😢😢😢 lets give him a big hug 🫂 for being pure and trusting armys to share the shadow of the very painful past of him 😢
Min Yoongi gave us a look into his inner self. His struggles that he had to overcome and become who he is today! What a beautiful man who made us love him even more. I Borahae Suga/AGUST D!🥺👑💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
he literally let his guard down - so scary but brave of him… props to this genuis of a man
Video is powerful and emotional! Your honest reaction is necessary because it can support those who watch to see that pain trauma and healing are emotional. There’s no soft way to see it! August D is a blessing and a beautiful spirit I am so happy he moved pass this and is a support for us all! 💜🙏🏽💜
I can't stop crying... I Love Yoongi so much, His existence is a gift! 💜🙏🏻
I am honored to have known Yoongi as much as I do in this lifetime. I am honored that he felt comfortable enough with ARMY to share his pain, his insecurities, his heartache, his grief. I know we will meet in our next life, but in this one I am healed because he cracked open the vault of his pain to share it with me. He relived his agony so that I could get past mine. He will forever be my safe space. I am so very proud of his accomplishments. May he be blessed abundantly, over and above his wildest expectations. 💜
Cried a river watching this mv💜
His passion for what make him happy saved him.
Yes, Jose. We love and respect Yoongi/Suga/Agust D even more. He really trusts us. Everything does happen for a reason. So glad that he is embracing his painful past. It shows us that we can too.
how FUCKING brave do you have to be to open yourself up like this to the world. Oh he is strong, so so strong. And I am eternaly grateful that he has found a way to cope. B/c there are the ones who didn´ t. (R.I.P.)
So I'm not the only one who teared up watching it... 😢 It's so incredibly personal, raw and honest. This entire trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece! 💜
The way you paused when you saw the motorcycle was my exact reaction. I didn't even see the crash yet and was already crying 😭. Youngi has my whole heart!
This one really resonates with me the most at personal level. Just hearing the intro tears me up. The visual imagery this video has is on point for someone struggling with painful memories. Thank you Suga T_T
Thank you Jose. I think only those that know his story get this. We understand his raw emotion. We knew bare facts (accident, struggle being an idol, dealing with fame) now we get the real emotions (as well as super personal stuff - omg his parents!). This ties in to Haegum in that he feels free to tell us now. He's gone through these things and emerged on the other side. You're exactly right as well in that we'll love him more, I didn't think I could but I do. I've always thought that the one thing I'd say to him if I ever met him was, "Thank you for sharing part of your soul with the world through your music." It is a beautiful soul. A human soul.
I never cried more when watching a MV like when I did when I watched Amygdala.
I feel so blessed to have him in my life, to enjoy his music and take comfort from it, to be able respect, admire and relate to someone like he is. What an artist, what a courageous beautiful man, what a gift.
This is so painful for me to watch... Been in the fandom for almost 3 years now and I always thought of yoongi as a calm and a strong person. I m just realising how mentally strong he actually is... To write lyrics based on your past trauma, to talk about it all, to make a mv and share it with the world, he is so brave :( He trusted us enough to share this part of himself and I m just so overwhelmed.. he is an inspiration to many and I can not stop the tears
i had the same reaction the moment i saw him getting on the motorcycle tbh 🥺🥺 i cried watching the whole mv and felt yoongi’s raw emotions. i also cried watching the live version from his documentary huhuhuhu but this was so brave of yoongi as he revisits this unfortunate part of his life. i just wanna give him a super tight hug once again. i always love his sincerity and how he trusts army so much 🥹😭 this mv was also brilliantly made, touching our hearts and finally giving us a backstory of how the scar came to life!
thank u as always for the reaction. 💜
I love this MV and song so much, it literally breaks my heart just having visuals to the stories of trauma that he’s gone through in the past. I also think the scar is a reference to his song The Last where he mentions that a therapist asked him if he ever thought of self harm/su*cide and he told him that he had, that’s just my interpretation on it. I’ve always appreciated how vulnerable the boys are with us in a way that we share each others pain and I will be an Army for the rest of my life 😭😭😭
I watched this earlier and just cried.... the way he opened up and shared this. It broke me.
Jose, Thank you for your emotions and interpretations. I think we all felt it, and realized just how raw, vulnerable and human, this was from Yoongi. No matter how bad things get, we need to keep moving forward. There is a light, and we always have choices that makes us stronger, helps us grow, and define who we become. It's relatable to anyone's struggles in life. And maybe show a little compassion & kindness to others, because you never know what's behind the smiling mask we all wear sometimes. Love to BTS, Love to Armys. 💜💜
yoongi is such a brave soul... he's a fighter. and imagine the years he's showed us such love and honesty despite going through all these things... i'm just grateful he's here and smiling.
Soon as I saw that bike and the pills I started crying. He has been though so much and still push to make his dreams a reality.
Honestly while watching this mv I couldn't stop crying 🥺🥺My heart has been broken into thousand pieces 💔💔thank-you suga for overcome all those pain full memories and became the strongest man alive 😊 you're truly are my inspiration 🥰🥰🥰
Who would think that one can suffer soooo much and still going.. I'm sad. He's a survivor.. thanks again
I really love how beautiful and artistic this MV is, but what I love the most is how meaningful it is! Amygdala is such a beautiful song with a huge emotional weight... Yoongi had to explore and open wounds of all these traumas and painful moments in order to liberate himself from it and rebirth in life as he mentioned in the song D_DAY too. We know this process was not easy it all, it was actually really painful like he mentioned in his documentary. I'M CRYING 😭 It's already one of my favorites ever. Thank you Yoongi for sharing this album with us, an album full of really personal stories and songs that can give strength and help other people too. I'm so proud of being an army, I'm proud of supporting him. He's an incredible artist and a really admirable person. 😭 WE LOVE YOU YOONGI. I hope in the future you have days full of happiness and love because you deserve it. THIS IS A LIVING WORK OF ART, OF MEMORIES, PAIN AND SUFFERING. THIS WORK IS CALLED "OVERCOME". APPLAUSE TO FENIX SUGA. 👏👏
This song is hauntingly beautiful!!!!!!....I love it!!!!! #D-DAY #OT7
Thank you so much for being so sensitive about this. It’s obviously a very heavy topic for us as fans to learn about, and I’m just grateful to him and proud that he’s inviting us in and being so brave, exposing himself to the whole world.
The video and song are so powerful. I'm so proud of him for sharing with us, this song is going to help so many people.
The mv was age restricted and I am 16 so I came here to understand the mv, and I guess I got to know why it was age restricted, I am broken into pieces, thank you for reacting on it. No wonder min yoongi is the strongest person I have ever seen 😭😭💔
It's like you're trapped in your amygdala where bad memories keep haunting you and you keep reliving the trauma.........this hits home
He is so brave to share such a personal, sad and painful experience with us and I love him for his honesty and pure heart. Thank you Jose for your genuine reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jose - I see the scar part a little differently. I think that the scar represents agust D and it was the shit that yoongi/suga went thro’ that brought agust d alive. It was his way of coping
I cried so much. He is so brave to share this with us and I hope he is truly doing much better 💜🥺🙏🥰
Yes! Yes! This is the reaction I wanted! Jose, just like how Yoongi trust us with sharing his story, I want to thank you for sharing your analysis and reaction to this MV..at this point I’ve seen quite a lot of reactions from different people, but yours is the best! And I think it’s because you know the backstory of the various scenes. The delivery scene, I had the exact same reaction as you..I had to pause and think if what I was going to see was what I was thinking of. I love how you used the words ‘he’s trying to save himself’. It made this song so much more heartbreaking for me. The MV was aesthetically beautiful, and the song was raw and so good! I believe this album is one, if not the best creations he’s made. We are so proud of how beautifully Min Yoongi has grown!
Also, I’m so happy you are going to the concert to support him. I would love to hear your recap of the concert, since I can’t go and I would love to live vicariously through you lol. Have fun!
Thank you so much for your kind words. He truly did give us a masterpiece of an album. I will cheer for him as loudly as I can! 💜
What I love most about BTS is that they’re not afraid to show their vulnerability. That’s just so precious. So many people are scared of doing that. It’s part of what makes them so relatable and endearing. Thank you, Jose. Been following you since my first day of becoming an ARMY 4 years ago and have watched your early reactions to BTS too. I’m enjoy this journey with you. Much love,
I interpreted him not being able to open the door is him not being able to escape the past. This mv and song broke my heart :(
I love Yoongi for sharing his past and painful memories and his thoughts that you have to move through them to become who you are. He suggested that you watch the trilogy in order which I did before watching your reaction. I hope everyone gets it like you did. The visuals of the MV drive home the point he is trying to help us see. Thank you Jose for your very real reaction to ‘Amygdala’💜
Thanks Jose. Yoongi just open up to us that people are so judgmental and putting us in his shoes of all this struggles. Summing up his struggles. It hits hard because I really understand what he was going through. I’m proud of Yoongi for fight back and seeing that hardship is a beautiful thing to look back in all the lessons we learned. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I've been following you for years.. I'm glad you're with us.. 💜💜💜
Thanks for sticking with me 💜
I was the same way. Watery eyes...I had to try to watch it a few time without crying .
I can't stop crying. 😭 Thank you
Sending you a big hug. Lucky you are seeing him. I live in the UK. Perhaps I will be lucky when they all come back from the military ❤❤❤
As someone that has been through depression pretty recently, I just wish I could hug Yoongi with all my strength and comfort him. I know he feels better right now, but even the memories of that period of time can be painful. I cried when the video came out and I'm crying again right now cause Yoongi means so much to me and all of us, that it pains me to know he suffered like this. At the same time, I'm thankful he seems to be healing... I just want him to be happy and have a good life.
I hope you have a happy and a good life too. May you stay strong facing all obstacles in your life.
@@lisala3131 thank you... you are very sweet 💜💜💜💜
Jose your explanation really gives me so much relief and I thank you so very much for that
This song and the MV. 😢 That Yoongi finally felt comfortable sharing his private pain with us means so much. I feel that he has come so far in overcoming his pain from the past and moving forward. After hardships in my own life I do believe the old saying that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Thank you so much Jose. 💜
I believe this video and song saved someone's life today! 💜
I'm interpreting the grey-clothed Yoongi as his Amygdala (his mental state). I take the physical carving of the scar as his mental thoughts of taking his own life, which we all know were present at some time in the past (and that's why I think it's healed in Haegeum, cause he is feeling good at the moment).
I kind of didn't understood the almonds his one self is eating and comparing to pills. The amygdala is indeed shaped as an almond. Little fact which some may not have heard - eating almonds actually serve as stress and anxiety reliever! Also the latin name of the almond tree is Prunus amygdalus (the amygdala is named after the shape so some may know this).
My God, Yoongi is so generous with himself!! Giving off so much of himself to the world to share his hurts and pains, such a very personal song but actually help a lot in facing our own hurts and pains and coming to terms with it. His album is like a diary, the stories he conveys in his music are all interconnected with each other. This is so raw, honest and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Jose 💜
Someone else just pointed out that it's a hard video but he doesn't give up. He's fighting so hard. I think that matters so much. 💜
This song made me cry when I watched it live in NY and just the MC, this song brings me a lot of comfort because I too suffered and Im not even 16 yet, this song brings me so many memories that my parents forbid me from listening to it, and yet here I am🙂💜
BTW, when I was watching the MV for the first time and I just saw the motorcycle, I had the reaction as you.
I'm still trying to process everything in this MV, like you said, thank you Yoongi for sharing all this with us. Thoroughly impressed by him.
I never cry while watching something, but this just broke it. I've always known how much he's been through but seeing a video of it all by him hurts so much and I want the best for him every single second
i am screaming for you!! enjoy the concert!! so envious. living through you!! and all the other Army!!
Yoongi’s storytelling through his music is truly inspiring. I am forever grateful that he trusts us so much to share something so traumatic and personal. Anyone who says this man is cold has no idea who he is. Min Yoongi I love you!
I appreciate someone who understands Yoongi before commenting on his work. TY Jose!!
My thoughts..the past YG couldn't save him..self harm couldn't save him.
There's a Yoongi there in a green hoodie, calmly watching and having some snacks. I think that is our Yoongi today.. looking back on his trauma and how he struggled for so long, but now..he's really doing ok.
Whether it is a cryptic shirt..or just a t shirt..his white shirt under leather jacket says 'All the rumours are true'.
I've seen that his final show in Seoul will be live streamed..I'm hoping that's when he'll have a few guests..such as Jimin..RM..IU..?!?! 😯😯😯
For me, it was that you can't escape the past. Sometimes a small thing can trigger you and you are right back there. I had abusive relationship and every now and then a gesture or a word and I am that scared woman again.
Jose, yours will be the only reaction I will watch for Amygdala, because you are the only one I trust to understand everything this MV means.
It is raw and it is painful to hear and watch him eviscerate his feelings like this. It takes so much courage to lay your vulnerability bare for everyone to see. We must never take the trust he has in us lightly. We're privileged. Thank you for sharing 💜
I just can’t stop crying watching this MV. I’m so appreciated that Yoongi shared this with us 😢
Best Reaktion while knowing the Backstory so far! I fehlt and thought ecxactly the same 💔
I can say this hit me so deep. I love him so much for the vulnerability. It's so intense
It's so raw and beautiful. I felt it so much. Let those tears flow. He's stronger now.
I couldn't stop crying remind me feel so many emotions I really did teach me a lot I went through so many should in my life and this song made me cry I'm really blessed he wants to show his emotions through his music thank you yoongi
It’s so much. I can’t stop crying. I just can’t believe here it is!! He just suppressed soooooo much for so long!!!!! MY YOONGI!! Oh I love him so much
Is it normal that I am crying???
6:33 its the same scar from daechwita and now i am going to cryy 😭😭😭😭😭
Yoongi has overcome so much in his life, and I love how real and open he is! He may not always show it but he has a beautiful heart. I'm so proud of him and how far he's come.
I think Yoongi got us all with this MV. Even though we should have expected it after listening to his song. The MV literally had me crying into my pillow 💜
Sending a big ARMY hug
I’ve watched this mv so many times and I can’t help but cry each time. Such an incredible video that portrays what Yoongi went through.This song is definitely my favourite on the album, it just hits different. Yoongi is a strong person and I’m forever thankful for him 💜
I really love how beautiful and artistic this MV is, but what I love the most is how meaningful it is! Amygdala is such a beautiful song with a huge emotional weight... Yoongi had to explore and open wounds of all these traumas and painful moments in order to liberate himself from it and rebirth in life as he mentioned in the song D_DAY too. We know this process was not easy it all, it was actually really painful like he mentioned in his documentary.
I'M CRYING 😭 It's already one of my favorites ever.
Thank you Yoongi for sharing this album with us, an album full of really personal stories and songs that can give strength and help other people too. I'm so proud of being an army, I'm proud of supporting him. He's an incredible artist and a really admirable person. 😭💜
WE LOVE YOU YOONGI. I hope in the future you have days full of happiness and love because you deserve it.
Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reaction Jose. Hope to see you on Wednesday at the concert!
Thank you Jose for always being real!
I didn't understand why this song got me crying & so emotional.
Until you said it perfectly. #BORAHAE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yoongi Is a incredible human being, he has the courage to show to the entire world how to take good decisions in spite of all the sufferings he had to feel, it Is not a MV, it Is Yoongi's open heart, thanks my beloved boy to share with us your strenght.
THIS MV IS SO SAD AND BEAUTIFUL. LOVE YOU MIN YOONGI! BEST REACTION!
Amygdala mv really did a great job of visualizing and representing the fight/flight response, the wave of emotions, fighting the inner battles of yourselves, and the effect of the trauma. Honestly, it feel like that yoongi really understands the pain that we share through the toughest and the darkest times of our lives. I cried cause I myself was a SA/ s*!c!d3 survivor, and the mv really reflects my own pain and the trauma that I gone through at a very young age. The fears that I have, fighting my inner self, getting drowned into the void and the darkness, and me keeping the inner child in me alive and protecting it from the pain of my past. And all the sh!t that I gone throughout of my childhood. Yoongi is one of the most strongest person in this world, even when he himself gone through a lot of pain, suffering, and trauma in his life. He’s not afraid to share this with us and yes, this is a whole new level of trust that yoongi have for army. Yoongi deserves all the happiness and love in this world.
Remember that you’re loved and appreciated, and that you’re not alone. Army and BTS are always there for you through the darkest or toughest times of your lives.
