UGH!

BTS's song 'UGH!' from their album 'Map of the Soul: 7' is a powerful track that delves into the theme of anger and its various manifestations in society. The lyrics, which are a mix of Korean and English, express frustration with the way anger is often misused and misrepresented. The song's title itself, 'UGH!', is an onomatopoeic representation of the sound of disgust or frustration, which sets the tone for the song's exploration of the emotion of anger.

The members of BTS rap about the destructive nature of anger when it is not genuine or when it is used as a tool for harm. They differentiate between righteous anger that can lead to positive change and the kind of anger that is more akin to waste ('분뇨', which translates to 'excrement' in English). The song criticizes those who pretend to be angry for personal gain or to harm others, and it laments the desensitization of people to this misdirected anger. BTS also touches on the idea that everyone seems to think they have perfect moral judgment, which is ironic in a world where truth and lies are often indistinguishable.

The repeated phrase '나는 욱해, 욱해' ('I get angry, I get angry') emphasizes the members' own struggle with anger, particularly when it is filled with malice or when it is an anger that should have been extinguished. The song calls for reflection on the reasons behind anger and the impact it has on others, suggesting that while anger is a natural emotion, it should not lead to harm or become someone else's suffering. The energetic and aggressive rap delivery, combined with the intense beats, underscores the intensity of the emotion being discussed.
