Leave it to Bang Yongguk to give us a traditional hip-hop video that eviscerates your heart.

To this day, six years later, this video is one of my favorites. It’s slow-paced, with minimal “frills” – just Bang Yongguk turning his home into a manifestation of his anxiety, his fear, his rage. Every time I watch it, every single time, I feel tears well up and my throat tighten.
