Agust D Theories - Tumblr Posts

Agust D 2 theory/story/whatever this is

Here is the MV if you haven’t seen it yet.

Okay so correct me if I’m wrong but the Agust D video story is basically this:

So there are two Yoongis here: one seems to be a kind of king while the other is... well, I’m not sure but he’s not a king and seems to be dressed really modernly, jackets and pants and the whole shebang. Both of them are pretty badass, I’d say.

And it looks like modern, less rich Yoongi is wandering through a village (maybe gathering up allies? Since we see him with a bunch of other people later) while king Yoongi (who am I kidding, Yoongi is always a fucking king no matter what he’s dressed as) is just hanging around being cool and wielding swords with his little minions around him.

Modern Yoongi drives up in a rusty-ass, dusty-ass train wreck of a car (bitch you’re boasting about your money I’m sure you can afford a better car so you don’t get tetanus or some shit) to King Yoongi’s palace and is promptly arrested by him and sent to get executed (man, King Yoongi is hella protective of his garage space, isn’t he? He’d probably be the ‘GET OFF MY LAWN’ type when he grows older).

King Yoongi is standing up in the balcony watching Modern Yoongi about to get executed by his henchman who has a giant sword, while Modern Yoongi is tied up and blindfolded (while looking fucking amazing). King Yoongi is flashing his own sword around. And then, henchman swings his sword and brings it down.

But he doesn’t kill Modern Yoongi. Instead, he cuts off the rope tying his hands together and gives a box with a fucking gun to Modern Yoongi, who takes it and walks up to King Yoongi (also what the fuck King Yoongi, you have zero security. 0/10 would not recommend). And then he shoots King Yoongi. Or at least in the general direction of King Yoongi.

Okay, theories: what does this mean? Is there a story? (I mean... duh, there is)

So this can be interpreted as a story about social classes with a whole ‘eat the rich’ sentiment. The poor destroy the rich. And by the poor, I don’t mean just Modern Yoongi: the king’s henchman also betrays the king, and Modern Yoongi gathers allies, who we see dancing with him around his busted tetanus machine. There are also those creepy people in black in front of the king’s palace headbanging (though I can’t blame them, the song is dope). I bet all these people are also ‘poorer’ and support Modern Yoongi. Which! Would also explain why the king has no security: everybody has turned against him. Good riddance.

Another theory: this MV represents tradition vs modernity. Well, maybe not tradition, but being stuck in the past. This is why Modern Yoongi and his allies are the only ones who appear to be dressed ‘normally’ in the whole video: the rest of the kingdom is stuck in tradition and old-fashioned-ness (is that a word?). Also note: King Yoongi’s weapon is a fucking sword. What’s Modern Yoongi’s weapon? A gun. A gun defeats a sword. Modernity defeats tradition.

So. Is this not a literal story? Maybe it’s a representation of the world around us now, or maybe even Agust D’s own mental turmoil and debate (or not even Agust D’s, maybe this is just a general trouble people face or something). That would also explain why they’re both Yoongi: because it’s a fight between two parts of himself. Or maybe BigHit is too broke to pay another actor, idk.

So that’s what I think happened in this MV. Maybe one of these theories is correct. Maybe it’s a mix of all of these. Maybe none of these is correct. 

Whatever it is, we got a dope-ass MV out of this.

(also who else felt like the whole ~aesthetic~ of this MV was very similar to the one in ON??? Was it just me?)

(also note that we don’t even know what happened to the king. maybe he deflected the bullet with his sword like those weird-ass action movies do, or maybe modern yoongi missed his aim, or maybe they joined forces and conquered the world together, thus making this whole post null and void)

(also also wouldn’t it be so cool if this MV took place after or was somehow related to Agust D? I’m not sure how that would work- maybe Agust D busted out of where he was trapped in the Agust D MV to go kill the king in Agust D 2? At this point I’m just shooting ideas into the air)

Agust D-2 theory part 2

My original theory post is here.

So the Agust D Daechwita shooting sketch just released!

As I thought in my previous theory post, Agust D does collect allies as he walks through the village- specifically, we find out, the butcher. (I swear, I was just about to make a meme about Agust D and the butcher having such long eye contact but! question answered)

Something I thought Yoongi said was interesting: he talks about the ‘new’ Agust D walking up and shooting the tyrant king- who was the version of Agust D that was already king. Is this also meant to symbolize the release of Agust D-2, meaning that the original Agust D is no longer king? Basically, Agust D-2 taking over Agust D? 

Maybe it does. That would also explain why the newest Agust D is dressed more modernly than the king: he’s more “recent.” 

Of course that would mean Yoongi acknowledging his old Agust D mixtape was a tyrant (and it was, in the absolute best way)... or I’m just overthinking this.
