Epik High- Breakdown *English subs* Banned MV/Gory

[DawiaA05]

gore ? =="

loved the vid , so freaking awsome !! its rocking

the song , like always : no fucking comment (its always awsomness overload)

[ninoisintheskies]

i think the video is about them being tortured by loan sharks cuz they didnt pay

[dongyul]

@ninoisintheskies actually, its the music biz that runs the korean artists.

[randomemotions99]

It's not THAAAAAAT gory

[wintermusic3]

Epik High till the death of me :)

[sprkapple]

Man, this would have been fun to film...I'm jealous. D:

[msngsri]

tablo's looking HOT in this vid.

:) i hope epik high will have huge come back after tukutz and mithra return from the army

[Animerocker11]

Yes but they die O.O BUM BUMBUMMM take a look they drop to the ground atthe end after there victory >:D

[tsauce35]

i just recently discovered this group, and they are beyond AMAZING!!!! love love them! thanks for doing the hard work of translating to English!!! you have brought the meaning of their music to so many more people!!! ...btw when people in the u.s. say that "this beat is sick" or something is "sick", that means it's super-cool, not anything bad. i saw that someone flagged that comment, and it was saying this song has good beat. :)

[boolala12344]

oh sh*t! i love this MV so much! it's totally my type!!

[AnimeisforLovers]

Wow thanks for subbing this! And for posting this vid up...it keeps getting deleted off of Youtube. I love their lyrics, and the fact that the band members write the words themselves makes me respect them even more.

[BornOfChaosAndOrder]

Hmm...i got some thinkin' down...this vid Epik did must have took awhile...

[T9C1PSayWha]

Damn this is pretty fuckin' sweet :D

[axium403]

the governors suck.....

[Koreanime]

I absolutely adore how Epik High's songs have deep meaning.

[mareum87]

to be honest there are fans of epik high in pakistan too =]]

[JQ77ACE]

WOW Are you Serious?

[mareum87]

yeah =]] im serious =]]

[AsianFanatique]

man; REALLY!?!

pakistan is my background!

thats amazzing!

[mareum87]

cool!!!! =]]

[dyschorde]

freaking awesomee. gave me chills [:

and omg the mv is so scary.. x.x

[spiritboi]

can someone explain the plot?

[memoriesofnobody365]

THis MV is basically about the government forcing innocent people to take responsibility for what the government has done, but since they won't do it they decide to kill them. But it turns out that the officials get the "chair" so the lesson basically is "Communism Sucks!!!!!!"

[michellielley]

@memoriesofnobody365 Wait, so what about the girls from 2:44, did the official guys force those girls on them as punishment or is it just shown that Epik High doesn't want to give into that kind of "pleasure" that the officials like?

[melissareneeloves]

Thank you so much for subs! I love the music with or without them, but it still helps me out tremendously. These guys are my new addiction...

[NewEraLifeStyle]

If you guys like this, then listen to Breakdown (Supreme Mix) the guy raps in english for like a minute during the intro

[SingAlongDiDong]

pure poetry man....poetry in its purest form...just POETRY!! damn....

[jiaojiaohwaiting]

woww!!!

[amyhavok141]

wow who are these guys and where have they been all my life....

[lacusfan5]

Only THE most OWNAGE hip hop group today. Epik High baby.

[SingAlongDiDong]

lol....that's exactly what i thought when i heard this a few days ago....:D

[sweetemerald513]

their videos are cool and their lyrics are genius, woah!

[clubbingpink]

this is so cool i love it

[keynna47]

this rocks. it has a very educational effect over me...like right now i'd wish to read a book :)) dunno why.

anyway, EH rocks as usual.tablo is a genuis.

2 thumbs up ! (676780~ thumbs for that matter...)

[shinluis]

Oy. Mithra's a genius as well.

[keynna47]

no argue there:) mithra as well

[syronx]

i love this song a lot. i like the dj part but the hitting part i dont get 0.o

what is the story for this MV?

[anyway this song is soooo good!!

[gummyocto]

basically their exposing the corruption of the government

around 0:45 is when you see the governor laughing at them while they're getting beat up

[syronx]

ohhh thats the governor

thanks.

that makes sense now ^_^

[calcross11]

AGREED!! DOWN WITH NORTH KOREA!!!! lol south korea is my home!!! <3

[OneMagicSmile]

HI-5 SOUTH KOREA!!!

[alphawolfnami]

Hey, hey. I'm SN, but I still think that NK is good. It's just their leader that sucks. I mean, I have equal amounts of friends from SN and NK. :I

[grapeace]

How do you have friends from North Korea?

[alphawolfnami]

You need some edu-ma-kation. Not all North Koreans are IN North Korea.

[grapeace]

I know that I just did not think that you would live where there are many North Korean refugees.

Where I live do not have many North Koreans. I only know one girl.

[kenkensama]

ooh T__T I saw them live in Kobe, japan today and they rocked so much!!

Q_Q Epik high 4ever~ srsly!! *_*

[GreenSkittlesx3]

WOOOW The beat of the beginning was so tight

[BilliePiper22]

In the background when they say breakdown and clap your hand and stuff you hear them say "Damn!"

[lawlsitsmatt]

i think their saying "DOWN!" haha

it could be damn too

[BilliePiper22]

I'm pretty sure it's "Damn!"

[lawlsitsmatt]

no its its "Down!" because right before they say it you can hear the say "break" really softly

[ickleann]

....what about when they performed live, the move was DOWN!!!

[BilliePiper22]

Isn't that DJ Tukutz being the DJ? That sounds weird. But that is DJ Tukutz DJing right?

[xxorchdork1319xx]

yup :] tukutz scratches most of their songs!... well pretty much all their songs o_o tablo does a collab with DJ pe2ny but.. that's a different story :]

[sessyXmeforeva]

I love this song, now even more, since I know the lyrics.

[Violette120]

Tablo is my hero.... I love this song and the vid too. Honestly it wasn't that bad, but I guess they censor more in Korea than they do here in america- too bad man their stuff is awesome.

[scooterANGEL]

Wow...love the song...crazy MV! Thanks for the English subtitles, yo.

[SweetestDarkAngel]

great lyrics melody video... everything !

[contemporary1]

wow that really is gory! i have this song and listen to it all the time...but i didnt expect the video to be like this...still i love Epik high. thanks for the upload and translations

[AngelXsokewl]

awesome video.

[angBoe]

omggg, yes @ the ending :)

YEAH..

[LovingBigBang]

Love Epik high...^^

the lyrics to all of their songs are so meaningful...

Too bad the MV is band but looking at it i can see why.

too muvh gore for younger ages.

[toloratedmeat]

LOL the wankers dont know their being electricuted

[chocomilkyninja]

lol. At the end, Epik High gets an Epik Win.

[strangergranger]

best MV ever!!!

I love this song.

[MYVJ357]

I wouldn't find it gory..

the reason that it's banned is because it shows violence and the three of them being tortured and brutally being abused... as others enjoy their suffering... other than the mv, great song. powerful lyrics and meaning, as always expected from epik high. lol

-_-

[LaughingHeartx3]

UGH. The world. It's rotting so badly.

[theoldkappa]

Breakdown wasn't banned, was it? I thought it wasn't.

[hentaihelper]

Breakdown WAS banned. Just looks at the MV, a video like this would probably get banned in US to

[theoldkappa]

I don't see this video as so serious to need bannning. I mean, it's a tad gory, and it's dark, but there are movies out with nudity, gore, and racial and religious slurs. I can't see this being banned in America, actually. But I guess others disagree.

[PaperClip123]

well those movies ARE rated 18+

So a video like this would probably be banned from public media

[tablo213]

if it isn't banned in US, it would still get an rating of TV-MA(or maybe TV-14 edited version), and it would air in late night

[Yukilovestohru2]

my question is who is the guy in epik high the third i know tablo and the guy with the beard the leader, but who's the third dude? i dont wanna offend anyone but i just heard about this group :P

[krayzieygluv]

Tablo is the leader & rapper, Mithra Jin is a rapper, DJ Tukutz is the DJ..obviously..lol

Yeah. Thats Epik High.

[schoolingers]

But Tablo doesn't even consider himself the leader.

[asianchik92]

....

intense....

like always....

holy crap.... O.O

tablo looks cool with his hairstyle....

:still in shock:

[anyaichimei]

WOW.

O_O

[101Kitten]

LOVE THIS SONG

[EightbyEight]

I vibe on Epik High's 'Breakdown'.

Maybe, this song want to say us that society of today is rotten I think.

[nikkichanyaoigirl]

that's what I was thinking too!!

But mostly every epik high songs have deep meaning to it, involving society and how this world is getting messed up...

that's why I love epik high so much!

[bluekatt24]

this is my fav our of all there songs i luv them

[whckddnqq]

supreme remix more awesome!!!

[notetoself09]

wow that was amazing

[B3Ger]

Was this really banned?!?

Haha sad, still it's a great song!

[tranling]

damn how they manage to look so hot even when blood is all over their body ???

[xxshanice]

lol wondering about the same thing too XD they managed to look so darn hot even if they're turning into psychos or getting beaten up...

[usssernamepasssword]

that lady was pretty HOT..

hehe..

[anime223]

you know that lyric after "that high fortress is breaking down" it's "Damn! 손뼉을치고" and not "breakdown! 손뼉을치고" and so on like that

and before he says "hey mister DJ break it down" theres a line "c'mon Damn!"

[Sokunami]

This video has a really great story to it. I really think they're sending the message they want out... though it may not be an agreeable message to some, maybe they could have spared us some scenes, but it's still great to see them sending a message.

[minhee475]

i agree totally.

:"D

[SHAWTYerinx3]

tablo put the gory in the bathroom becuz,

he thought our heart could be like that .

[lovexsuju]

Love it. <3

[hyp527]

the vibe reminds of me of Saw. thanks for subbing!

[CrzyViet369]

i`m so glad i ate before watching this instead of eating WHILE watching this

eek

[kellyaziz]

You subbed the whole album?? Oh freak, WHERE can I find the links to it??? I worship Epik High - their lyrics just cuts straight to the quick. Thanks for this!

[TheAsianMission]

They're all on my channel, I've made a playlist and everything

[kellyaziz]

Awesome! Thanks :)

[merokol]

I don't think Epik would make a mindlessly gory video without a deeper meaning.

Epik, hwaiting!

[dancemachine4486]

I think they should try take part in movie.

they're good

[minhee475]

yeah

tablo has played a part in a drama called nonstop. and it was pretty funny

but they could totally do like a serious one

[shuthefxup]

thanx for the sub..

i can understand it better now..

*U shut the fuck up plz..*

love that part :D

[tablo213]

dakcho닥쳐 just means shut up, in my opinion. If it means shut the fuck up, the word would be banned on media

[icepuffin]

nice job on the translation!!!

[TheAsianMission]

Thanks

[ghozt22]

the lyrics is sooo amazing...thanx alot

man..

looooooooool they make me laugh in 01:07....

*breakdown**and u shut the f***up plees**...they r right why those 2 guys can't just shut up..

[TheAsianMission]

every time I see your comment it makes me laugh^^ yeah you're right

[windstruck44]

I didn't even noticed this video was already subbed before I did it. lol. All that translating and subbing for nothing. ha. Anyways, nice job man ^^V

[TheAsianMission]

At least everyone can compare the two translations, especially in Mithra's part where I was a little unsure.. From what I see your and my versions are practically the same. 수고했습니다

[windstruck44]

thx.^^ Ya, they both get the same meaning across. I'll leave the rest of the album to you though. lol

[iluvpanic26]

Wow

Epik high always impress

they're defying all meaning

they're saying things people are too scared to say

they're genius

they have my respect and love

~annie*~

p.s. thanks for the subs ^^

[TheAsianMission]

That's why I like translating Epik High the most, they always make me think.

[thetolkienlover]

I don't know what the official "deeper meaning" is to this video, but to me, it seems like a statement against the brutality that exists in the Korean music industry. My friend, who used to be in the biz, has told me some freakin' scary stories about people being beaten and threatened with death. One girl was told she'd get her throat slit if she left the company. I won't say which company. This video makes me think of all those stories my friend told me. Messed up, man.

[TheAsianMission]

I'd give that a 50/50 chance of being one of the main ideas of the video.  Thanks for sharing.

[hentaihelper]

Your good, the only thing i'd be able to sub would be Breakdown (Supreme Mix) lol

[Arashio8D]

thank you so much for translation~ *__*

[rogue290]

I love these guys

Really I do

Thanks so much for the translation

Much appreciated ^^

[solarflare97]

Yeah.

The reason why it was banned, you should be able to figure it out by watching the video.

This is why I love Epik High so much.

They're willing to defy society with their music.

[mashi7]

although the video is gruesome, something draws u into it. and it really does hav a deeper meaning, if u try to think about it.

[mikered1991]

wtf??? this video is gory and scary...

[TheAsianMission]

I agree. I think it's supposed to carry a message with it though.

[nanaki254]

to convey the meaning of this song, i wouldn't expect Epik High to do any less then giving their all. :P

[madelynlovedonghae]

i love you.

i seriously do.

i think you just made most epikhgh fans happy. i've seen a LOT of fans requesting for this. thanks for translating! (and please translate more <3)

[TheAsianMission]

I'm working on the whole album, it's goin kinda slow so check out what I've got up so far.

[madelynlovedonghae]

I just realized you're a guy. haha

i just subscribed to you btw XD

[TheAsianMission]

Thanks for subscribing. and I won't tell the wife what you said^^

[thesechildishgames]

thank you so much for taking the time to sub this :D

epik high never ceases to amaze me.

their lyrics always make me think.

i love it.

[foolishTEARS]

thanks!

my favorite song off the album

Epik High is so hard to understand.

I think there are so many social and political implications in their lyrics.

[TheAsianMission]

oh, I didn't know you were an Epik High fan too. What's your favorite song by them?

[foolishTEARS]

Yes. I love Epik High. Their music is refreshing especially with all the bubblegum-pop/fluff that comes out from Korea these days.

My favorite song is "Love Love Love" from their last album. The lyrics are beautiful!

I'm so glad we like the same music. Haha.

[nanaki254]

heh.. so much favs to list from them =3

[TheAsianMission]

My dream is to translate White Night

[nanaki254]

thanks for the subs!
