[@AngelaSealana]

I really liked your idea of watching more of their livestreams. There are some that they did together during the pandemic in different groupings of members. I keep thinking of the one Jin, SUGA & Jimin did.

[@arixannaj]

Although Tae would definitely defend army he's also the first one to call army out on any bullshit behavior, he's so honest and doesn't have a tolerance for disrespectful or delusional behavior and there have been multiple occasions that he's expressed his distaste for certain behaviors right to us directly, like on weverse for example, it's usually very funny and it's why we love him, he's a breath of fresh air (for top top army defenders i'd say that title goes to namjoon, jungkook and jimin, but ofc they all defend us all the time)

[@maxpbeaumont]

That’s cool to hear!

[@amberpearce710]

I would also add Jin…he is pretty good at putting ARMY in their place as well…Even Suga during the “someone’s behind you” during Vlive told ARMY to stop…I think all have their moments…However yes Tae does put a lot of ARMY in their place.

[@arixannaj]

@@amberpearce710 oh definitely, I also think Jin has the most boundaries between his personal life and his celebrity life, because as much as we know about him, sometimes it's like... What do we really know about Jin?? I think he's very good at saying a lot about himself without actually saying much, which makes people feel like they know more than they really do

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

I love how he best-friendzones us lmao 😆 but anyway i know how emotionally sincere he is when he says that ARMY is his best friend..he is really a pure lil kid at heart

Also, for the longest time, jimin and Jhope were roommates, Jimin always said that he needed Jhope because he needed someone to accompany him. He doesn't like to be lonely.

[@jxmangel]

He didn't but he has mentioned recently that he has been enjoying time alone :)

[@shanjida609]

He enjoys being lonely now.

[@Jane-tx7el]

@@jxmangel it’s in one of the vlives with rm and jimin. Jimin said he likes to live with hobi forever. But on the same Vlive he talked about how he is loving the alone Time. He said he took namjoon’s advice to just take a walk on his own and at the end he loved the silence around him and appreciate the alone time.

[@seewhaticcurious1]

Concerning Jin, you also have to remember, he was really the only one of the boys who got to experience "normal" young adult life before they debuted, including college. Suga was already neck-deep in trying to make it in the music industry in his teens. Jin is really the only one who may be able to truly understand what they gave up in their youth to reach where they are today, from an experiential level.

[@danievasquez3394]

I like your comment. Makes me think why he wants to always lighten the mood for these guys. He keeps being playful with them til now to lessen their stress about work because they are younger than him. They always tell him to act his age, but what I get from him is that maybe he wants them to act their age(?) and enjoy and have fun and not be too much of a workaholic because work will always be there. Like he makes me feel like we need to experience life and little moments as much as he enjoyed his.

[@kruemmelmonsterliebtkekse183]

I think, that's why especially jk is often so hard on himself . He real didn't experienced a "normal teenge/adulthood" as he started with bts with 15. He only knows the adulthood life as bts and couldn't try out so much "normal" things maybe as jin was able too

[@mims1992-y6c]

22:30 RM and Jin actually had a discussion similar to this topic in In the Soop 2, they were all having dinner and Jin says something along the lines of “I feel really bad for RM cause earlier today he told me that it’s hard for him to just rest and have fun” Basically RM was confiding in Jin letting him know that taking breaks like they were doing in in the soop were difficult for him because he’s constantly thinking about work. In the midst of the discussion Jin also expressed admiration for RM’s ability to work so hard and they even joked that they wished they could take each part of their personalities (RM who works hard all the time and Jin who is really good at relaxing and enjoying the moment) and put them all into one person. They each also said that when they are feeling conflicted (Jin sometimes feels like he rests too much and should do more and RM feels like he should learn to relax a little more) they each think “what would Jin/RM do?” Ultimately they concluded that it’s good that the two of them are on the same team cause then they could encourage one another and inspire one another.

[@missu2day893]

Jin has said before that he just wants to be happy. That's his goal in life. RM and Jimin have said that Jin has taught them alot in how to just be happy and enjoy life.

[@biru-kelabu-0821]

25:25 - In the opening paragraph of a magazine interview with V, the writer said that in one part of the interview, V got so excited about a question and started talking non-stop. The writer invited us to guess which part when reading the article. Sure enough, it was when V answered a question about ARMY. RM is going to get his wish. He's holding an intimate concert with just 200 people in early December.

[@erinespedido]

Can't believe this was just last year😭 time flew so fast

[@iwannabealobster9459]

I think you’re spot on about Namjin’s dynamics. I also think RM needs to be in control and JIn is always so unpredictable! That’s why I love to watch Namjin vlive moments. It’s so fun to see RM becomes speechless under JIn’s random and chaotic behaviours!

[@justagirl9607]

I love Namjoon’s reaction … The one thing I’ve noticed recently happening with NamJin is that they won’t let each other be alone in doing something embarrassing 😂 like everytime one of them does something cute/weird/funny thing, the other person follows …

[@beefgirl89]

I love how namjoon is loose, light and boyish when he in jin's presence. They just goof around together while jin entertains joon's love for wordplay through jokes.

[@babyarmy6968]

Theirs also the age thing where even though RM is the Leader of the group. In their society Jin being the oldest means a great deal. Usually the leader is the oldest member so for Jin, Suga, and Hobi to humbly follow RM’s lead shows how much faith and trust they have in RM.

[@allisonB123]

Jimin addressing Hobi…They were roommates for the longest time, and both have said that they are the most alike in personality, and should always live together, and Joon even teased that Hobi is always number 1 with Jimin, so there is definitely a deep bond between them, they adore and appreciate, and understand each other in a unique way. I love JiHope, such a wonderful duo 💜💜

[@kisi9121]

Me too our sunshines, both said that They are social with people, they love peoples but In private little introverts. I get it, im very similar myself. And problems solves privately, Off course ask opions and help To others. I love their personalities 💜

[@kruemmelmonsterliebtkekse183]

So Jhope and jimin were roomies, suga and Jin and who else ? Like they are 7 so one probably always had a single room ?

[@allisonB123]

@@kruemmelmonsterliebtkekse183 three shared for while - Hobi, Jimin, and Tae. Then Jin and Yoongi, and Joon and Jungkook - I remember Joon complaining that Jungkook kept all his stuff (speakers etc) on his bed and then used to crawl onto Joon’s bed when he wanted to sleep 😂😂 However, Jungkook had a basement room to himself at one point too (I have a memory of them mentioning that, in some arbitrary video clip 😂🤷‍♂️)… They roomed together, on and off, for over a decade (if we include trainee days), and in the beginning they were in that tiny little room all together, seven of them in one bedroom, but they have moved a few times since then (until they let their lease end in the middle of last year, when they had that beautiful apartment from the mv for Life Goes On). I am sure there are Army’s who know exactly how many months/years were spent in each apartment, but my knowledge isn’t quite so good - hope I helped 🙏🤗💜💜

[@arixannaj]

Interesting that you pointed out Hobi (and ofc the other guys) trying to take the leadership role off of namjoons shoulders at 11:45 because Hobi especially really tends to have namjoons back in terms of leadership, one example that stands out to me is when they were doing an english interview and they had a translator but because namjoon could speak english the translator wasn't doing their job and namjoon was getting frustrated trying to get his point across as well as everyone else's and hobi noticed and basically told him to not translate anymore and got the translator to do their job

[@angartsnirex]

Ahh i remember this. Hobi's face was just too annoyed why the translator was not doing his job. Us too while watching that intetview felt their frustration.

[@riseabovehate9031]

I watched that and was frustrated too why the translator wasn't doing his job Hobi looked cool 😂😂

[@KatMo126]

The guys have said several times that RM is their public leader and hobi is a director in private. It came up a lot when they were rehearsing for the Grammys without him and jimin even said straight to camera “I miss hoseok”

[@loretopg]

I love how they care about their keader. They were badasses in that interview, worrying about him, who is always under tremendous pressure. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that interview. Would you be so kind as to share a link of it with me? Many thanks.

[@MrKaibaoh]

25:34 Tae gets emotional and active whenever it is about human connections, whenever he talks about ARMY, his parents and family, his friends... it's actually quite endearing. And what's makes it even more special, is that he doesn't shy away from addressing bad or delusional behaviour from the fans, this makes his interactions and love sincere and more friend-like than fan to idol interaction

[@madxinthebox]

I wish we could all have a Hobi in our lives 💜

[@jimimphile]

36:55 yes to jimin catching onto the members facial expressions changes no matter how minuscule it is! he actually entertains the boys a lot by mimicking them. there’s a documentary (‘break the silence’) clip of the boys eating dinner and of jimin mimicking each members faces/body manners when they cry while all the boys laugh with him at his accuracy😭😭 also another clip (forgot where it’s from) where he also mimics yoongi avoiding eye contact when he tried to make eye contact w him in a similar fashion🤭

[@Jane-tx7el]

Jimin has a lot of filters. I think I started to understand him more once he became my bias and I started to watch more of his vlives and a lot of Jimin focused compilation videos that takes moments from a lot of places. He can be really vulnerable and open which we see more in his vlives when he talk directly to armies, or sassy, or goofy which we see more in run bts. But he is still a bit mysterious to me and I think that’s also his charm. Even the way he presents himself has a duality. Like you said he is sitting in a very classy, put together, gracious way, which I think it’s more the contemporary dancer in him. When he stands too, we call it the ballet posing, his footwork are like a ballet dancer lol. But in run bts setting or like soop, he is completely loose and you can see more of his goofiness.

[@jimimphile]

and when it comes to his private time he is off the grid (aka never showing pics of his house interior)🤣🤣

[@cherriesforjm9145]

@@jimimphile at least we know he has black counter top and a pot and a tv😭

[@SnorriSnibble]

Absolutely. He's my bias too and I got a grip of his personality more and more, but still he's almost the member that's most mysterious to me. He's very thoughtful and while being very open I also feel like he always carefully decides what to say and what to reveal about himself. He also has this incredible talent of answering intimate/private interview questions in length only for you to realize at the end that he didn't really answer the question and didn't reveal anything, but he does it in such a charming way. And honestly, I love that for him. He grew into himself so much since debut and he seems so very content with life recently. And seeing him let loose when being around the members is one of my favorite things in this world

[@georgiarose818]

this is what i feel about jimin too (he's my bias). i like him so much but there's something i can't explain about him, he just has this mysterious aura(?). plus with him being a lil bit more private than the other members. i like watching him telling us about his days on vlive, he looks carefree. but still, i just love him being himself and be more privacy.

[@HopeFree-qk4fk]

Jin is unpredictable and that put RM on defense . He never knew what Jin is going to do or say. He becomes even more nervous when Jin and Jk are together because they behave spontaneously and chaotic.

[@sarahk8758]

I think V has become more reserved as he’s gotten older and he’s generally never been one whose strength is verbalizing his thoughts on the spot. But one thing he is always willing to share and is confident about is army. He doesn’t reveal much about himself overall, but he will always talk about his feelings for army. They are all very grateful for where they are and how army played a big part in that. Endlessly humble!

[@Gramcracker72]

Many think of them as entertainment, they are people, with feelings and needs. They are so much more then what we see on stage. This is a great example for them being just 7 guys appreciating each other’s friendship and talents. ❤️🍀. 7

[@jhopeur7219]

As far as Jimin looking to Hobi first, I think that's totally accurate. And there are a lot of reasons but I think it just boils down to Jimin being a person who seeks out validation and Hobi being a person who is overflowing with enthusiasm for sincerely validating people. I'm such a Jimin. I relate to him a lot and I get it. He likes making people laugh, he likes being acknowledged and heard and making an impression, and Hobi is naturally someone who sincerely HEARS and SEES people. And he adores Jimin so the impact of it is exponential. He gets so much genuine joy out of who Jimin is as a person and Jimin just blossoms under that attention. It's really a perfect match. They fill in each other's gaps, they are alike enough to be compatible but different enough to challenge each other, they have complementary senses of humor and so many values and interests in common, and they have a natural chemistry that makes banter and affection really easy for them both. I've just never seen a pair so well-matched in every way. And they're just a joy to watch. All I want in life is a Hobi to my Jimin.

[@maxpbeaumont]

Very well said.

[@madxinthebox]

Time and time again, BTS have mentioned how much they appreciate Hoseok. In Festa 2019, they mentioned how Hobi listens to them all the time, how he holds back his opinions at the end after listening to everyone's ideas. He has been and will always be there for the members. To be a ready ear, to be a supportive hyung or whatever he needs to be for his dear members.

[@vminverse]

Tae just reminds me of a sibling that 'picks' on you all the time (out of love of course), but when someone else does it he'll be the first to fight that person, because he's the only one allowed to 'tease' you.

[@maxpbeaumont]

Haha I like that

[@patipati4252]

because of Namjoon's reflection skills, i'm scared of his album, i mean i'm probably gonna cry my eyes out

[@nathalykim1263]

hobi really gives all of himself to everything he does, I've come to notice he gives every part of him to a conversation, carefully listening and paying attention to others, reacting and responding to everyone, putting all of his energy into his work, giving his spotlight to the members and bts, really, he's an extremely selfless person and never even mentions all of the sacrifices he does and the toll that might take on him

[@ArmantoAlex13]

I think Jimin appears to focus on Hobi when he speaks because, Jimin, too, is a big listener, just in a slightly different way - he’s so in tune with everyone else’s emotions; and I think that of all the members, Hobi is the one who really is aware of HIS feelings; so, he trusts that Hobi really listens to him (and vice versa). I believe Jimin is also very tight-lipped about his personal thoughts and feelings and there are a couple of reasons for that: 1) it’s just natural to listen and not talk (about himself); and 2) he’s the one who’s been targeted with the most hate online. The two of them are the most caring of the group. They are also best of friends, so that’s also a factor; in fact, Hobi knows Jimin is in tune with his feelings and a good example of that is he took time out to fly to Chicago and support Hobi for his Lolapalooza debut - and as we know from the VLive ne did afterwards, Hobi WAS, in fact, in desperate need of that support - Jimin was the one who came through, as he always does for Hobi. All in all, they have a very strong, very special bond.

[@wintertae7184]

V has a big conection with army .He come time to time and talk with us like a friend .He is so sensitive person as well .He is a great person with beautifull feelings

[@CelineV95]

V is the most open with his feelings, he shows his heart in his hand , talks directly without beating around the bush, if he feels something or someone is being hurt he is the first person to speak to them or about the situation, he listens for real , even at the beginning all the members where in awe of how well he knew their habits and how they felt about everything,in a radio interview he got all the answers right about all of them , Taehyung is a great listener and very observant, he doesn’t talk much in the group rather observe and listen, he shows his love for the members and army in the most open and overwhelming way like he hugs and kiss their forehead he is always described as a caring loving innocent and kind by his friends in and out of BTS.

[@evek2501]

J-Hope is definitely recognized by the members as the second leader, but as you pointed out, they all tend to step up when it's something that they happen to be individually good at. For example, J-Hope is good at dance and performances in general, while Suga brings analytical insights, not to mention his songwriting and production skills. Actually, the rapline all bring impressive songwriting skills to the table -- and this is one of the main reasons why BTS is BTS. Big Hit took a totally different approach to choosing the members, especially the rapline, than the traditional idol-selection approach. All three of them were already established for their respective talents. This already is a big step towards democratizing and diversifying the leadership role in the group. The entire group has matured and they recognize their strengths and weaknesses and have somehow managed to pool their leadership resources. All of them have a unique skill and I think they are given the space to express it -- which is another reason why BTS is BTS. And finally, none of this would be possible if it weren't for the example that RM sets. So kudos to him for being a true leader and recognizing each member's skill and giving it a place to shine.

[@justagirl9607]

I love the mystery around their private lives as it should be … Probably one of the reasons why Jin is my bias … he has set clear boundaries between his private and professional life .. he shares, just enough to let us know he values us at the same time he keeps his privacy to himself …

[@MariamWinnie]

I like that much about him also

[@nicoledeveraux4322]

Wonderful video! I pulled a lot from what you said, particularly interested in the comments you made centering Hoseok and Seokjin. Hoseok definitely plays a very interesting role in the group dynamic. It was fun to see you break down small pieces of it, like Jimin continually looking to him for a reaction (I wonder also if that is in part due to their long history as roommates lol). I remember that in the past he has been noted by all the others as very attentive and a good listener which may be more overlooked for how energetic he comes across. The comment you made about Seokjin being maybe the most at odds with their lifestyle due to his own simple desires is super fascinating. It’s not something I’ve ever thought about specifically, but it truly makes so much sense. He definitely only seems to need a few things in his life to be satisfied for how much is going on with all of them all the time for the past decade. I feel like that may be a big part of his appeal, for as big of a star as he is it makes him feel still down to earth and easy to connect to. Super interesting observations all around!

[@maxpbeaumont]

So glad to hear :) Thanks for the comment.

[@lofvee]

Jimin was tricky to understand and read when he wasnt my bias, I couldnt understand how he worked at all. Hes very different. Im still being surprised by him now that hes been my bias for 5 years

[@Mimikoo]

He is super private and yet also the most open in some ways [photofolio]. He always surprises me with how candid he is at time and then so damn quiet others [everyone describes their homes except Jimin on Festa 2022]. He is a puzzle I will never solve and that makes me strangely content.

[@Betty-jp7sw]

How so? Can you elaborate?

[@yung9149]

@@Betty-jp7sw it's like. He make you think that he's A and he seems like A. But suddenly he's a B. He's kinda unpredictable. I try to guess him since our type of person is almost the same (I'm a Libra and I born just few days before him). The first few things, I feels like I can guess what he's thinking of. But his next move is unpredictable. I can't understand him.

[@Betty-jp7sw]

@@yung9149 yeah I get what you mean. I think he's somehow reserved as a way of protecting himself from Antis. You know how they attack him for the smallest things. I think he portrays a persona of what Armys expect him to be. And it can't be easy to just be completely open all the time.

[@justagirl9607]

Yes, Jin has shared that his philosophy of resting is actually resting …. So him trying to get theirselves some private time to do things they like makes sense … RM strives to be like Jin while he rests.. And Jin strives to be like RM while resting 😂 they have confessed

[@soop5414]

RM is effective at controlling the team. But probably conflicted with Jin's unpredictable chaos, while also having to be respectful to the oldest member. Their dynamic requires a lot of trust with each other.

[@loretopg]

I think that at the same time, Jin allows him to play and be a little childlike. I don't even know how many time I have seen that Vlive, which they both just sang a line of a song, make up some more lines (their love for play wo4ds. Nerds 😂❤) and just looked at each other, laughing so much that Jin almost spat his food. Both looked so happy together, and we learned their fathers were friend. RM sometimes just needs to be Namjoonie but in a safe environment, so to speak. Jin provides that to him. I hope he still does (I know he does, he is so chaoticand dependable at the same time), Namjoon deserves to play, and just BE and Jin is just a gem of a person, so caring and adaptable (another way in which Jin shows his love). The safe, chaotic older brother you can play with).

The jacket in the picture that Jimin showed was from Hobi, that's why Hobi said he was touched. But it was originally from Suga who gave to Hobi, then Hobi gave it to Jimin.

It’s so easy to fall for all of them because you know there’s things you don’t know despite how much they share and that’s intriguing, but the longer you listen and watch, the more grateful you become that they actually have a private life.

[@namjoonkim9762]

you’re spot on with namjins (namjoon and jin) dynamic, and i think that’s why they’re one of the most popular duos in the group. their interactions are usually just chaos and they’re interesting and cute when they’re together. namjoon never misses the chance to compliment jin and vice versa.

I also really enjoy your videos (mostly BTS contents), and I get super excited whenever I see there is a new BTS reaction from you. however like you said yourself, please react to their vlives and other types of videos as well, as I feel like their personalities aren't quite shown in these videos. Like usually Jimin is way more lively and playful and fun, same as JK, but they tend to be on the quieter side in most of the videos you've watched so far.

Omg I definitely agree with what you said about Jimin. He has that ability to read people that helps him to say the right things at the right timing. And in various occasions I’ve noticed that Jimin sometimes didn’t share anything personal during group conversation and kind of deliberately shift the attention to other members to talk. He’s extremely careful when he speaks, never see him slip or do anything lame unless intentionally.

[@dkeode]

Jimin and Hobi show so much enthsiasm to each other and take so much interest in the other members. I think it would be great if you react to tthe vlives below. One is for Jimin and Hobi’s vlive bcs you can see their sincere friendship in that vlive. Second is Hobi and Jimin V JK’s vlive, showing their normal conversation. 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6rVlmSYbKqLfcU 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYXQmICfmbl4mKs

22:22 Imo Jimin said it very well during a Vlive: "Jin taught me a lot about how to have fun and enjoy life". I feel like Jin offsets the workaholics/perfectionists of the group and kind of "reigns them in" when they get too hard on themselves which we know Jimin has a tendency to be.

All members have their own strengths but V is the one we normally reminds members to take it easy to the point that they use his Dad's saying of "it's no big deal" he is call the happiness preacher by the members and is the one to normally plan dinners so all members can spend time together. He does get enough credit for it but all members have consistently said this is what Tae did for them over the years.

[@gags5551]

Yeah V is way too genuine and pure, he is never conscious about how many cameras are around or how many people are sitting around, he is very confident and genuine in whatever he does and say and he is the only Bts member who has been same confident since first day of their debut..other members grew and developed personalities with time but V always had a very unique and confident personality which was way too genuine so people or Army connected most with him and also to tell you V is a man of principles and values and if anyone tries to Be disrespectful or immoral, V takes no time to Teach them or show them right Way, he is a man of principles✌...Thats why he is loved the most..he is most biased Member in kpop world and has biggest fandom in whole kpop world..His fans are damn loyal and love him Like no one💜💜

[@amberpearce710]

HOBI=second leader (RM has even said this and most ARMY know this)…He is like the leader behind the scenes… Also I think it is important to note that Jimin and Hobi were roommates for years. They have talked about how close they are and how comfortable they are with one another.

[@nathalykim1263]

jimin and hobi's relationship is very understated, I think, they are really really close, but aren't loud about it which is why people don't talk about it too much either

16:03 how not fall in love for Hobi??? I completely fell for him and he became my utt so fast. He's the most lovely and kind person I had ever seen! A shining soul 🥰🥰🥰 I wish I had him around 😢

[@kesh2786]

I just binged all your bts videos and I must say it’s heartwarming to see you go from referring to them as ‘the one in the black shirt’ or the ‘one with the purple hair’ to hobi and joon and other nicknames 💜

[@madxinthebox]

As Joon said during FESTA 2022, Hoseok will always be Jimin's No. 1 🤧🤣😭💜

[@KatMo126]

Lmao and the scandal that was 😂😂😂 Jimin tried so hard to deny it, Jk was so jealous. Loved it

[@DrAmber2004]

Meanwhile Tae knew confidently that he is Jimin’s number 1.

[@aquariusmarika]

Jimin is the cutest person on this Earth! He is so pretty in and out! I think his soul and heart are as beautiful as his face. He is my bias. Suga seems to be total opposite but it´s not true, I find them similar, I don´t know why. On the outside different but inside similar. Suga is my bias wrecker. :)

[@annie4bananie]

Thanks for this one Max! Loved re-watching this Festa in your company :). You made me realise (around 27:45) that Jin manages to treat himself with grace, which I admire a lot about him. He tries to convey this to the other members as well. Such a warm, healthy, and human thing to do.

[@elnabenoit]

BTS is definitely one of my happy places. I don't know how I would have made it through the past several years without them.

[@jhopeur7219]

In an interview recently, j-hope said his best quality is that he's "embracing." He meets people where they are and can adapt to be a good foil to whatever personality he encounters. He's good at understanding people's needs and filling that space. Like he knows what your love language is and adapts his behavior or actions to fulfill that, for example. It's such a rare and special skill and it makes you really understand why so many of the boys have said so often that he was like the social center of the group bringing and binding them all together and they couldn't make it without him.

[@SonjaHanson1]

Thanks for another great reaction. I never thought about the food and drink being somewhat distracting. I agree that this was a different vibe. I’ve learned so much from your reactions about human nature along with more insights into BTS’s characters. I appreciate you.😊

[@KatMo126]

I just found this channel and your voice is so relaxing. You’re so on about how BTS videos can just put you in the zone of a happy space and your analysis adds another layer to it which I really appreciate.

[@lolitaborja8050]

Jin always wanting to relax and have good time. even when they are on tours..

[@btstaejinkook]

But like members have said even though jin doesn’t show it to anyone he works the hardest behind the scene. They said when other members are sleeping Jin is usually awake in his room practicing. We see it in the hustle life and a couple of BTB I think he tries his best to help the other members relax though. They all need it because BTS as a group works so hard for us.

[@mourningcloaksk-popflight9727]

In one of the recent game collabs they did, they actually called J-Hope a cheerleader in one of the episodes. I can't think of a better description for this amazing man. He will support everyone. He was very interested in watching I-land, which created Enhypen. He showed up to a practice for &Team before they debuted. He and Jimin went back stage at Lollapalooza to support TxT, who performed the night before him.

[@uarmyyou]

Tae is like friend to Army, so he is very protective and also very honest about what he thinks about some of fandom's behaviour but i think the one who is the most sentimental about ARMY is Jungkook. i think it includes Armys when he said "i'm also hurt when the members are hurt". i don't think he usually cries for himself but Army is his soft spot, the moment he starts to speak about his love for army he starts crying. i don't think anyone can love their fans as much as him, it sometimes comes as unbelievable

[@kisi9121]

17:12 Jimin and Hobi are very similar persons. They were roommates for years. They are really like brothers but more friends. So they understand eatch others so well, just by look at other. So Jimin knows that Hobi will reach. And they are natural leaders. Hobi as Danceleader with Jimin assistant him, helps. And Jimin is leaders leader like you said. He dont wanna take spotlight from leaders, but if needs he leads

[@erikoenglish1651]

Jhope and Jimin both dancers before joint BTS.

[@SusieQ1955]

Suga has always chaired the Festa dinners, since 2014. He's great at it, keeping them on track but cracking up with them too. I felt his best personality came out at those dinners, and I think he was the same behind the scenes with the guys all these years.

[@coldebleus]

i really love how much you appreciate yoongi’s honest and sincere personality. Esp recognizing how much of a big heart he has and the love he has for the members is so so important since he often gets misunderstood as being cold and indifferent. I mean people soon realize how wrong they are after checking out more of their content and the members never let us forget how no one beats him when it comes to taking care of them but it’s great that you were picking up on that since the beginning of your journey! And i definitely get you on feeling more connected to him when he’s addressing ARMYs, it always feels like i am on facetime with a trusted close friend whenever he’s on vlive, his blunt but funny answers, his comforting and encouraging words, his wisdom… his lyricism and how candid he is about his struggles in his music has always resonated with me and made me feel seen but even the way he communicates with us has healing properties so i’ll always be grateful to have yoongi in my life

[@cherriesforjm9145]

The thing is, bts members tease Jimin a lot. So him addressing jhope most of the time when reminiscing is probably his subconscious way of ensuring he will get positive reactions instead of denials or rejection. And this is sad because it's not like that before. Jimin gets a lot of hate within the fandom and outside, he's the most scrutinized member out of all of them. That's why he used to be so active in social media up until he got serious death threats for two consecutive years that BigHit and relevant police stations released statements they would be on high alert to protect Jimin during the concerts. Then he slowly stopped posting and now he's the member who post the least. Also last year his mail got stolen during his US schedule and then when he was hospitalized for appendicitis and covid, the agency admitted not being careful enough and Jimin got accused of not paying his health insurance because of the stolen mail notifications. Then his social security number and other pertinent details from the stolen mail got posted in korean forums, essentially doxing him. He even became more reclusive. Members are posting about their lives during this era when they're doing their solo stuff but Jimin barely posts. Other members basically posts parts of their houses during their updates while Jimin crops everything you won't even see what brand his TV is or what color the wall of his house is. He's so protective of his personal life So yeah, Jimin being conscious of the camera or eyes on him is a given. You would be surprised how one word, how one twitch of his hand gesture can be interpreted by so many people to further whatever narrative they want of him. It's really sad to be honest. Tho whenever he comes online he reassures everyone he is healthy and happy, which tells that he's aware fans are worried for him.

[@lolitaborja8050]

I never get Bored watching BTS even many times same videos

[@lovelyy6491]

Namjoon is not always in charge of leading, in a way, like.. the others surely help, specially when recording content for us, like Run BTS, Yoongi has been the MC a lot of times. Jin too. it's so nice, it's nice to see Namjoon relaxing a bit, just being goofy in the background or something 😅

[@mims1992-y6c]

RM has said in the past that if he were to pick any of the members to be leader instead of him that he’d pick J-Hope. And outside of the promotional stuff - in their daily lives - the members say that j-hope is their leader. You can very much see this dynamic when you see their reality shows (Bon Voyage, In The Soop), the older members and J-hope usually take over when it comes to running things (Jin and SUGA cook, J-hope cleans and helps organize things). Also J-Hope is their dance leader too. He takes the lead when it comes to rehearsals and all their performances. So the members really look up to him for wisdom and to help him run things. Hobi is very much their second leader. 💜😍

[@ru-mg9dj]

Definitely recommend watching the lollapalooza behind episode,jimin and hobi's bond shines through it and you will also get a glimpse on what type of an artist hoseok is. Love your videos by the way !!

[@MrKaibaoh]

32:22 those are my kids took me out 🤣🤣🤣 One army did call tae "daddy" as flirting in weverse and replied "yes daughter" 🤣🤣🤣 There was also a running joke in 2020 that tae babysat army on weverse with how much time he spent with us and how many comments, posts and event he held on the app just to make sure no one went out in crowded places

[@phaedra5283]

If V had to sum himself up with an action, it would be his recent photoshoot called Veautiful. You get glimpses of him on vlives but that photo shoot really tell you the soul of V.

[@GreyMinerva]

When V was presenting his items, and showed them how he used to twirl his pen. The rest of them were talking about this, and you get a quick shot of Jungkook, eyes closed, twirling his own pen as if trying out the sensation/trying to recreate the feeling V was describing. Jungkook often strikes me as a very physical/practical learner - you see him copying the instructor rather than just listening and looking on the first run-through a lot, both in dancing and other stuff like the flying yoga. It just made me love him a little bit more, that he was immediately trying to relate to Vs explanation in the way most natural to him - not by imagining the sensation/action, but by recreating it physically.

[@DrAmber2004]

Very perceptive. Loved your comment.

[@dysmissme7343]

It’s a good instinct as well Putting yourself in someone’s physical reality is a great way to connect to how they’re feeling

Jimin and JHope have aleays been tbe roommates in their previous dormitory life and even on tours.

[@monkat3759]

Max, I appreciate you very much. This is your channel. React to Whom or what you'll enjoy reacting to and when you want to. I've seen enough reactors in feeling the well-meaning excited pressure from some army , starting to tense and push through their BTS reactions as a chore. :)

[@kathyhanson172]

Thank you, Max, for a loving overview of Festa 2022. I am a new ARMY as of March 2022 and was struck with this awareness of who these talented performers were! I am obsessed with their work and follow as much as I can through social media outlets. They are amazing! I turned off all the news channels and concentrated on their goodness and their music. They truly changed my 75 year old heart! I care about each of them and their lives and wish them all the success and happiness.

[@andmin5894]

Jimin and Hobi shared a room for years, they are very close I think the closest members currently. RM even joked that "Hobi comes first for Jimin" recently.

[@princesamarulina]

Thank you very much, I loved your reaction. Thank you for telling us about your uncle too. I can see how important Hobi's presence is for them, and also here, even when you felt a light hearted communication, you can notice that something heavy is behind. They didn't want to be for a second year making that meeting without a concert with their fans. Also, knowing now how they were supposed to move to chapter 2 after the cancelled tour, the hope and fear about concerts with ARMY before military service and solo albums is there, and that's maybe why Hobi is more concerned about everybody's feelings, and Yoongi, Jin and Tae feel the need to light the humour. Jimin, I feel, was super sad; I remember seeing this for the first time and feeling that the atmosphere became wet every time he answered one of the first questions. I wonder if, as you said, he was deflecting the attention to others, or asking for/ thanking for the attention that others gave to his own feelings, and also Hobi was his roommate during a long time, so I think that he feels secure about him engaging, not ignoring, but also not going deeper. Tae, he will jump for ARMY (and Jin too. Well, all of them, I know that you know), but also for his fellow members, in special when they say something like "I wish I could sing well", or "I am the one that dances the worst": he jumps to underline that they are good and shouldn't say that kind of things. Sorry for writing all together and not properly. And thank you again. They are inspiring, and it's great what you do to help us feel better with our own moves into the world, through them.

[@namjooningOT7]

RM's album "Indigo" is coming,, and he'll have his debut stage with 200 armys only with no camera and recording allowed,, he'll finally get to ask ARMYS about their story 💜💜💜💜💜

This man says what we all know but the words he puts in are so entertaining to listen to, he's so well articulated and good at communication

[@sonablom]

In a lot of ways j-hope reminds me of niall. They are both nicknamed sunshine after all. But also Niall is a great listener, a rock, and in 1D the boys really depended on him.

[@maxpbeaumont]

I can kind of see that actually

[@paolatorrealba8485]

This is my second time watching FESTA and it hits different watching it and hearing your comments about what they do. Your channel is one of my favorites because I have always been interested in leadership, communication, etc, I guess it comes with me being more of the quiet kind of person, a listener, but wanting to improve my social skills. One of the things that stood out for me were your description of V because he's one of my favorite members (It was my bias in the beginning) and I do think he's very sincere, honest and different. And other thing that surprised me was when you said Jimin was hyper aware of his surrounding, how he can read people easily even people's little expressions and I've noiced I'm like that, I feel i've always been like that but with people I know too well like family or close friends, I can even know when they're feeling bad or something even by the way they talk, their tone, micro expressions even if they insist in seeing everything's ok. Since I have been the kind to follow them musically without watching much of their interviews, I am enjoying this so much.

[@calicotelo218]

[@mims1992-y6c]

OMG this is like my millionth comment I’m so sorry. When it comes to the Lives, I’d say that SUGA is actually much more demure in his demeanor but still very significant. He’s very quiet, he doesn’t say much during the lives but he works so hard to read every single comment, he responds even to the most silliest requests (army asking him to show his teeth for example) and he is of course very honest whenever he talks. But I think based on what you enjoy I think you’d enjoy RM’s lives a lot more. There are two recent ones that he did (one for his birthday) and one that he did earlier this summer that are worth watching. This was post festa 2022 in the midst of all this uncertainty in the fandom and he always takes the time to peripherally address our concerns. He always talks about the big picture with us and what’s going on with the band and the members as well. I think RM has said this before but he really treats us like business partners in the sense that he feels like he needs to let us know how things are going and maybe he’s not able to share things in a lot of detail but he’ll still address the issues and tell us when he can’t say much more. I always say to every army that I meet that watching RM’s lives should be mandatory viewing because he always addresses the big picture of who we are as a community. I’ll share some good ones below! It's always better to just watch them on weverse directly, so you should create an account on there if you haven't! This one was from earlier this year after one of the Vegas concerts. He really addresses the relationship that BTS has with army and how important it is. weverse.io/bts/live/3-104695883 This is one he did last summer, you may have to create an account on weverse. weverse.io/bts/live/2-101646033 his recent birthday lives Part 1 weverse.io/bts/live/1-105093632 Part 2 weverse.io/bts/live/0-105081476

[@tanya24able]

Jimin was skipped in this reaction he paused then played and it went straight to V , I wonder if anyone else noticed that 🤔

[@bauistik3982]

BTS are the most honest, sincere and most humble superstars I have ever known. RM always want his members to step forward and express themselves. JHope gives energy and positnivity in BTS and ARMYs. Jin keeps them in order. Suga keeps it real. RM leads and keeps them grounded while the 2 youngest V and JK binds them all together and makes everything fun and maintains respect and admiration to their hyungs and to each other. Besides my family, BTS is my happiest place on earth. BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS! Also, JHope and Jimin have been roommates until now that’s why Jimin is used to addressing JHope when he talks. They’re very close and they both Love and respect each other so much. And yes, V loves ARMYs so much and he always voice it out just like showing concern especially in a very cold weather... he even shows thoughtfulness for the media whenever he learns how many hours they waited for BTS to arrive just for a little time to take their pictures. Suga is the main producer and RM composed a lot of their songs. Both of them are the most vital in creating their album along with their in-house producers and CEO Bang PD. These are the main reasons why Suga and RM talks alot about the meaning and creation of their music. And yes, V say what he wants to say although in 2017 or 2018 he revealed that he struggled voicing out his thoughts and feelings then Jimin talked to him and urged him to tell him everything and V cried his eyes out and pour everything in the open

Thank you for this video, Max! I hadn't seen this Festa Edition yet (still a baby ARMY), so it was great to hear your analysis! But I really want to point out to what you said about your uncle paying attention to you, which made me emotional because we all truly want and need at least someone in our lives to really listen and care about our interests, hopes and dreams. I'm glad that the members have someone like Hobi to be so engaged and involved with them, and I'm glad to know that you had someone like your uncle to really listen and be invested in you. I hope that we as human beings can do this to each other more often, which is just to listen and be excited for the path that our loved ones take as we take ours along with them (sorry if it comes off cheesy, but there you go!). Have a great weekend!

[@maxpbeaumont]
