i love that you mentioned the fact that felix mimicked hyunjin while he was talking, great observation! it is actually a very known thing amongst the fandom that felix does that a lot, which he probably wasn’t aware of himself. we lovingly call it “felix see, felix do”, there’s entire compilations of clips of him doing that!

My favourite reaction ever , analyzing my favourite video of Felix & Hyunjin together on 2 Kids Room - Felix X Hyunjin. This just solidifies the authenticity of them being soulmates for real.

[@joshhale9355]

Felix is called “sunshine” for a reason. Some of the members like to playfully antagonize each other, but Felix seems to be the only one the group collectively protects, in return he’s kind and warm to every member. He’s clearly very appreciative of everything he’s been allowed to have and wants to show it back. One of the saddest kpop moments was when Felix was initially cut from stray kids and every member was inconsolable. He’s just a very genuine guy and loves all of his members, and like here doing everything he can to boost Hyunjin’s confidence and get him to put those shields down and really open up.

[@Bunnygottalive]

Besides I.N,even Felix gets defensive over him.Kinda scary how all of a sudden Felix turns alpha 😅

[@cocobean3060]

I feel like they all know that Felix is more sensitive, so they care for him and protect him. I remember in the Lee Know x Felix 2 kids room episode, they were taking about how Lee Know doesn’t joke around with Felix the way he does with the other members, especially Seungmin, because he knows Felix can’t handle it. He’ll take it more to heart than the other members do.

I think Felix's emotional IQ is pretty high considering that he has sisters as siblings. I think that plays a big part in him being emotionally receptive and understanding.

Oh my yessss!!!! I'm confident that Felix grew up into an emotionally intelligent man thanks to his family background. He has high EQ for a guy his age.

I absolutely adore Felix and Hyunjin's friendship. I don't know Hyunjin's background, but I don't think it's as happy as Felix's obviously is with his big family and siblings. Hyunjin was talking to Stays once after their debut and literally broke down sobbing on stage. He talked about how hard they worked, and all they did was work hard and it didn't feel like enough. Bang Chan was by his side in a second, telling him he did so good, and the others all gathered around, touching him in reassurance or saying "It's all right". Hyunjin pleaded with Stays not to leave them. You could see the other members smiling a bit, not laughing at him, but just with fondness and love. Bang Chan (being the good leader/Dad figure he is) loudly proclaimed that Stays aren't going anywhere! Where would they go? The other members started yelling "Stays don't go!" The band members got the crowd to chant "Don't cry" for Hyunjin. It was so heartbreaking but also sweet and loving all at the same time. Much later, at one of the Maniac concerts and also talking to Stays, Hyunjin said some pretty revealing things. "I'm not used to receiving love. I used to think I didn't deserve it, and would wonder why you like me. I still don't know." And then he started crying. He asked "Why do you like me? Of course I like being loved, and that's why I've decided to be stronger. I don't want my existence to become painful to you (the Stays)." He went on to say, through his tears "To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm doing well. As time passes, everything feels so precious to me, including our time. I'm so proud of this team. I love that we are chasing our dreams together." He is a very sensitive soul, as you note here, and for whatever reason, it's hard for him to think of himself as being worthy of love. I'm so, SO glad for the group and their close friendship/family bond they've created. ALL of the members have had moments of breaking down and crying, and then you really get to see the others step up and be there. There isn't even a hint of mockery, just wholesome support and love. I think that's one of the reasons this group is so strong and has such a strong bond with their fans as well. I would love to get your Uncle's insights into Bang Chan and his role as leader/parent. I know we joke in the fandom about him being a Dad, but it's not really a joke. He's the one there first whenever any of them need him. He's always dispensing the Dad wisdom and being supportive.

[@PB_1990]

I would just like to make a correction re your analysis of Hyunjin not having a happy childhood, based on him breaking down during one of their concerts. There was a reason for him breaking down during that concert. I remember watching that particular video and it was taken right after their main vocalist Woojin left. Everyone was going thru so much pressure coz they were in the middle of promotions and set to release new songs in a few weeks time, and Woojin was their main vocalist! 😬I can only imagine the stress they were all going thru. They had to resked the launching of CLE : Levanter, had to redo the songs and the choreography for a new lineup to fit 8 members, and it needed to be done in a few short weeks. 😬 They were basically all just teenagers at that point, with the exception of Bang Chan, and to have been working so hard to debut and equally hard to make a mark once you debut, to have a member with a very important position suddenly just leave when you're starting to make a mark in your career, and in the middle of promoting your new songs - that was so devastating for them! 😞 And Hyunjin we know is a very sensitive soul, so he tried at first to put on a brave front talking to the audience, how they had all worked so hard to debut, but then admitted that his thoughts were all jumbled up and really just couldn't contain his emotions any more and broke down and cried. Though he didn't address the issue of Woojin directly, everyone there knew what he was talking about, and the reason why he broke down. 😞 I don't know if you've watched his older vlogs with his family and his dog Kkami, but if you haven't you'll see he is very happy and playful, and very loved by his family. 😊 He was also very close to his grandfather, who gave him the crucifix that he was wearing all the time during their earlier years, and lately I've seen him wearing it again in a few videos, after his grandfather passed away.

[@C-Locke]

@@PB_1990 You are completely correct! I made this comment a new Stay, before I knew more about the members.

[@jennifer5362]

Hyunjin had to work really hard to develop his performance skills. He is aware that he was hired for his looks and wanted to be of more value to a group and himself than just a 'pretty face'. He's also very adamant that Felix needs to be protected at all costs and that he considers himself the best person to do it. He will occasionally trust Chan with Felix, but he's always close by to make sure that Felix is safe emotionally.

[@purplequokka]

what makes me feel sentimental about this episode was that the implication of them going through very rough times and surviving it together by being each other’s emotional support. it hurts me to see them hurt but also makes me very proud of them for being mature & strong to endure those times.

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

Hyunjin is a primarily self-taught artist who visits art museums and art galleries in all of the countries / major cities they travel to. Having a creative outlet helps him de-stress. His techniques, subject matter and confidence have improved greatly over the last few years. When he gave Felix that first painting, that was more toward the beginning of his journey as an artist, so his nervousness was very understandable. But the other part of the equation is that these two Stray Kids members have a very close friendship, and Felix's opinion matters greatly to Hyunjin. When Felix reacted positively and displayed the painting so proudly and prominently on his wall, it gave Hyunjin confidence to keep expressing himself through art. RE: the rings......unfortunately, Hyunjin lost his matching rings during a concert and was quite upset about it. There's video footage of him searching around the stage after the performance, but sadly, he never found them. RE: their friendship / his friendship with the other members and the warm feelings that flow all around them..........keep in mind that Felix, although Korean, grew up in Australia and his first language is English. He didn't know how to speak Korean when he arrived there to train as an idol, and in fact he was eliminated from the group in the beginning, primarily because he was having such a difficult time learning the language. Later, he was given a second chance to re-join the group and the other members took it upon themselves to MAKE SURE that Felix learned not only from his language tutors, but also from them. They helped him with vocabulary and correct usage, etc. In return, he helped the SKZ members who are not so proficient in English. So they mutually benefited from that experience. And that's a huge part of why Felix feels SO incredibly grateful for and close to the other members. If it weren't for them, he would have been sent back to Australia.

[@DaddiesLittlePsycho]

Primarily? 😂😂 I would say so. The man had one single class on each of the mediums just so he could learn what components were needed for each of them. Then he never went back.🤭

Honestly the part where he says 'When i think of you, i feel like i have another reason to live' I think he said it specifically to hyunjin in this ep during this part in the Convo Specifically because he knows hyunjin is a deep thinking person and he knows that he'll take it deeply and really appreciate that with whole magnitude

[@G.Lollie]

love both of your analysis and I feel the uncle has it right. Felix does very well commanding a room. He talks many times the most at their concerts along with their leader Bang Chan. He helps out a lot for his age being the 3 youngest member. I also thinks it is more than just because he is an English speaker and more to do with he can not only read a person but he can also read a room to know what is needed when he takes control. He is very aware of what he is saying and sometimes to much that it can seem scripted when it may not be. He also knows how to put others at ease very quickly and genuinely cares about others first before him self.

[@katiaichigo8778]

Surprisingly, this brought tears to my eyes, cause it's so refreshing and heartwarming to see them bond that genuinely and deeply as friends/family. They're each other's safe space, and that's so precious! Felix is an amazing person, and I think his role in maintaining a good relationship between members might be bigger than we think

[@elenapicco1412]

21:07 perfectly said, i’m so glad jype introduced this concept. every 1/2 years they gather in couples or groups to discuss the development of their relationships, sometimes in a playful way, sometimes it gets emotional. fans get to know their dynamics, personalities and believes on a deeper level (if the members are comfortable doing that, since they get to set the pace of the convo) and the members themselves take it as a chance to let their friends know how important they are to each other, to resolve conflicts they may have had in the past and simply goof around it’s my favourite type of content from them

[@doaeoubakrim9339]

I love watching your reactions because it makes me feel closer to understanding them and I truly appreciate them. I am such a big fan, thank you for your hard work and your time.

[@kittyc997]

This is my favorite episode of 2 Kids Room, and so I am so glad you and your uncle did a video on it. Another thing about their relationship. Hyunjin is such a deep thinking and introspective person (e.g. he spends a LOT of time thinking before doing a painting, or even a solo performance). Felix is more of an extrovert and very open (clearly). So that really helps Felix draw Hyunjin out too. Hoping you both do a 2 Kids analysis with Bang Chan soon. It'd be fun to see what your uncle thinks of their actual (amazing) leader. Might be cool to do the one with Chan and Felix to see that other side of Felix, but any would be cool. Keep up the good work.

[@Sslais]

Yeees I need one vídeo with Chan

[@florvant]

while hyunjin puts himself down and criticizes himself in different ways, felix ALWAYS puts him up again, he always speaks words of affirmation, especially to hyunjin, han and changbin, i think that's really nice to see, it's nice to see that felix has no problem opening up and talking about his feelings for hyunjin and the other members. while hyunjin doesn't talk much and just being a good listener, felix is ​​the one who talks the most, it really balances their relationship and makes them trust each other more and more.

[@jacquiround1193]

The tables changed from pre debut when Felix was comforted by Hyunjin- he described Felix like a child that needs to be taken care of. Felix would not of forgotten the kindness he’s been given in the past.

I haven't actually gotten into Stray Kids, but I've watched these episodes and some other content, and watching them be so honest and vulnerable with each other has pretty much made me fall for them. This one is particularly special, and Han x Lee Know - which has one very soft moment that steals my breath. In this one, when Felix is confessing the depth of his feelings in English - and he takes time to choose his words - I'm just blown away by his choice to be so open, not only to Hyunjin, but to the world. You give me another reason to live, you made me who I am, I can think too seriously about you so I think we need to just focus on being good friends - that's so much to share directly. I've felt that way about someone before. I know now that Felix is a very loving and open person, but this is still such a special moment.

[@evantesseract737]

I'd actually love to see you try to puzzle out Han & Lee Know, because from what I've seen so far, they're both pretty unusual in how they communicate & interact with others. (I find them both delightful.)

Hiii!! I just found your videos and I must say, I love them so much! I'm also a psychologist (plus both ARMY and STAY) and these are so incredible for me, your reactions are so lovely! I wanted to point out something else as well here, that Felix's native tongue is English. He was born and raised in Australia, he only got fluent in Korean after he debuted in SKZ, but in his early videos you can see he still had difficulty speaking/understanding some things. WHICH! This leads me to, when he tells Hyunjin "because of you, I feel like I have another reason to live" he's actually saying it in the tongue that hits himself deeply. Hyunjin jokes that he's glad he's saying it in English because to say it in Korean would be another level, but to Felix in that moment, while he was saying it, for him it was hitting the hardest, so it's even more meaningful (if that's even possible!). He knows that Hyunjin would react strongly to it (because that's just his personality), but I'm always amazed at the sincerity and genuineness of Felix at that moment. To me it also shows another layer of their relationship with each other, the understanding and common feel between the two and the way they know how to act when it comes to one another, while keeping it natural 💕

[@KimberlyDayah]

First, I want to say that I love this video as a whole and definitely want to hear more from Uncle Harley. I'm not sure how much of the [hours and hours available on KZbin, etc] footage he has seen to get a full sense of dynamic. Through his skill (part talent and part training), he already recognizes some of this from even just this video. If he watches a lot more of them, and I hope he does, he can't not fall in love with them (as if it were possible not to love them). I think that the reality show aspect was genius because it gave a look into the true selves, creating a view that lets us love them for them and not only for their incredible talent on stage. One element in the analysis that I found neglected is the unconsciousness of how they treat each other, that it is so genuine that there is no motive. I recognize that the analyst did not mean it this way, but motive could be interpreted as manipulative, however positive and well intentioned. Though it would be something each genuinely wants, I really believe that Sunshine Felix provides from his nature, not fully conscious intention. He wants others to know their value, that they are heard and loved, but it is so natural. And Hyunjin gives his own self in sincerity from his own special place within him. Felix is special, and however modest he is, he knows his power and allows himself to be the vehicle of love, safety, and kindness that is needed. He doesn't let his own insecurity keep him from loving. And just as he provides himself as a warm blanket of safety, the others recognize him and share the sense of importance to protect their dear Felix. *sigh* All of the members are so special in their own way, so different from each other but bonded. It is beautiful to see. But Felix is from another planet and this world needs more "Sunshine" in it. 🌞 [sorry not sorry for the long comment--I got triggered]

Their bond is honestly so sweet. Because you see stuff like hyunjin saying he needs to take care of lix and protect him and going on and on about how kind and sweet lix is that it surprises him and you see him consciously taking care of lix but then you see stuff like this how lix really meant it when he said he wants to give hyunjin love because that seems to be an important emotion for him. The way you see how protective hyunjin is of lix and then you see how much lix wants to protect him just as much. How important it is to all of them to make each other feel safe and loved is so sweet. Also I hope you guys watch their old 2 kids room too even if you don’t react to it because it’s really cute. Hyunjin wasn’t as shy back then or well closed off more accurately so I think you’ll find that interesting too.

Felix is one of the most supportive ones with the way he makes sure everyone feels loved and appreciated I've always seen him give compliments so freely and openly he has so much love to give.

Hyunjin tends to be more playful when it comes to the younger members and I would love to see you react to how his demeanor changes around I.N, it’s very sweet! The episode with Felix and I.N is also a good one because I.N seems very comfortable with Felix and as you both said in this video, Felix just has a really warm presence and loves to make the people around him feel good. I.N is more on the introvert side and doesn’t typically show a lot of physical affection but I’d love to see you explore some of his 2 kids room episodes to see what your analysis on him is!

Our (unrequited) love triangle is such a special trio friendship because they really do highlight the importance of each dynamic

[@AvengedButUsed]

@@nelle99 absolutely, all of skz but particularly those 3 just keep each other going

[@M.C.P.]

Also Hyunjin supports Felix A LOT. It's NOT a "one direction" relationship.

[@AvengedButUsed]

@@M.C.P. not at all, none of them are in SKZ, they all care about each other so much. I just noticed a sweet little cycle of energy between those three 🥰

[@girlwithjutdae]

Oh my yessss emotionally intelligent! This is so rareeeee man esp for their ages!

[@zaphire9607]

That was a fantastic video, your uncle is awesome too! Thank you very much for choosing 2 kids room for this fantastic analyzes!i cant wait the next video!

[@maharaniwidyasari3191]

10:40 funfact they still categorized haagen dazs as an expensive ice cream😭

[@annaluckystar7358]

Very deep conversation, very cool review. I've been living a pretty private lifestyle for the past few years, and their interaction made me think more about it.

[@TheOriginal_Unaleska]

Even though this is 4 months old, but Hyunjin really is an INFP (16 personalities myers-briggs). Felix being an ENFP (which apparently INFPs and ENFPs get along extremely well). Watching this kids room between Felix and Hyunjin - I can relate to Hyunjin a lot (as I am an INFP myself) and as I am observing him and hearing the commentary, there are things that Hyunjin does that I do too. We are hesitant and stand-offish when it comes to engaging in conversation with others. When you put a conversation in front of us that we are passionate about, our personality flips and we become very enthralled and enthusiastic. When it comes to gifts, this is a HUGE expression of our admiration of someone. For the fact that Hyunjin gave Felix one his own paintings speaks VOLUMES. INFPs are naturally shy and hesitant to show their true selves to people. Often wearing masks in public. Showing our creative arts to others, even less so. Having the confidence to give a piece of our artwork to someone EVEN LESS then less so. So this gesture tells me that Hyunjin really respects and admires the heck out Felix. That he feels comfortable enough to be bold and gift Felix his own art. Which, again, for INFPs to drop the mask and do something bold like that, is extremely rare. There are other little cues that I am picking up (such as love for flowers/nature), INFPs are known for putting value on everything before making a decision, assessing the situation and knowing which of my personality will come out depending on who I am with or how that other person acting, highly-self critical (the self-depreciating humour), conflict avoiders, highly emotional, highly sensitive, when arguing with another person I need space to calm down because emotions are so heightened, and among others, that tells me that Hyunjin really is an INFP.

[@PB_1990]

I don't know if you've seen that video of Hyunjin working on the painting he gave Jeongin for his birthday? Guess what he painted? Flowers! 😄He worked so long and kept changing the background colour til he was satisfied and even researched on Jeongin's birth flower and included it in the painting, giving it prominence right in the middle of the other flowers. 🥰 Jeongin was so pleased with the painting, especially with the inclusion of his birth flower, which he admitted he didn't even know til Hyunjin told him! 😄

[@simosimos2152]

IN himself requested a painting from Hyunjin.

[@StaySiren]

I think you would particularly appreciate episodes 8 and 9 of skz code to see some fun dynamics in a particular setting. Changbin and Bangchan, Hyunjin and Seungmin, Lee Know and Felix and Han and I.N are teamed in a haunted school, and these are some of my favorite skz code episodes.

[@dianislamawati2132]

thanks so much for this conversation Max, it means a lot. I’m tearing

[@Kez_h]

I just randomly stumbled across this video and it's so cute. It's so positive and I love the break down and observation the uncle and KZbinr are making. There is so much detail and depth to what they are saying. I'm in such a good mood now lol this video was so positive

[@laurel8547]

I think it would be really interesting to have him react to Chan x Changbin because of how he reacted to Felix's "leadership" and reciprocation in the conversation! Or Chan with anybody, but it's so fun to see you hype Changbin's mind too!

[@nelle99]

Max has done an analysis on Chan and Changbin already, his uncle's input would've been great on that ep but sadly it's already done 😢

[@laurel8547]

@@nelle99 you fool! That was only from ONE season of 2KR mwahahaha (I'd have to check if the older seasons had those two specifically though haha)

[@cheskalaureta4220]

I'm excited to have an episode with Changbin! He's actually really fun to observe :)

[@selenaalt20]

Please do more Stray Kids videos with your uncle! They are all amazing guys and I was fascinated watching your guys analysis of them!!!

[@khoirunnisarizki4212]

The fun fact is that the shipper of these guys sent a lot of letters because they are so close. even the entertainment has to respond it

[@Deekookieee]

This was so nice to watch. You and your uncle are so in tune and really catch their dynamic so well.

[@afmXx_]

I'm so glad you two aknowledged Changbin's way of thinking. He really is a very good analyst of everyone around him, he knows he's people and it's a great communicator, as well as he's always straight forward about his thoughts 🤍

[@M.C.P.]

For me this is the best 2KidsRoom ever... Hyunlix relationship is AMAZING, I don't care what kind of... they love to each others, period. Thanks for this video, love your reaction!

[@lenarakahn]

this is going to be an interesting reaction 😭 starting straight with hyunlix McDonald's Sprite

[@elodiepollock7326]

At around 17:00 when you talk about Hyunjin accepting Felix' compliment, what Hyunjin literally says is "But thats too much/big of a compliment (lit. overcomplimenting me)", but still I think in this case hyunjin is taking the kind words in more than Felix. Very interesting to listen to you too :)

[@marileedebruyn7192]

This was really cool to watch. I also find it interesting how simular your voice is to your uncle's. Wholesome reaction to a wholesome interaction❤

[@Starlight.star-]

Felix definitely naturally just wants to make you happy and he notice’s a lot but those words he says you can tell come straight from the heart . I love your analysis I didn’t realize the Felix was sailing the conversation until you pointed it out. I’m not great with words but I really love this 🩵 feels like professionals are on our side guiding us

[@jaehansun2027]

felix is my ideal guy. he is just so emotional and sentimental like me, and I feel like we are going to have the best conversations

[@sykim7838]

It's kind of very interesting. Usually I thought Felix is the one who seems to look insecure sometimes, and Chan and Changbin are his safe blankets, but here (I didn't realize before when I watched this episode by myself) he is the one more encouraging to the other(Hyunjin). Maybe all those different dynamics between members shows why all of them are needed to complete SKZ and why they can keep improving in many ways and areas. In any case it always shows that they (all skz) care about and trust each other a lot and they naturally show their affection and trust to each other by saying and doing. Thanks for sharing yout insightful thoughts with us. Really love your contents Another happy day for both of you!!

[@Bunnygottalive]

Exactly.Felix has really grown and seems to have gotten more confident and even somewhat of a protector

[@DBCuzitis]

All this!!! Very insightful analysis by you both. 😄 Felix is easily emotional. When he is happy he earns his sunshine nickname. But also, he can cry too. A ver6 empathetic and warm personality. I think he is most comfortable in small groups or one-on-one, then he shines brightest. In bigger groups or in front of press/crowds etc he is tends to be more timid and fade into the background a little. I used to wonder if it was his newness to the Korean language that made him more shy but then I started seeing videos of him in English interviews (where one might expect him to step forward as a native English leaker) and he acted the same shy way then too. Solo shoots and solo excursions he doesn’t look as comfortable as when he has his friends and family around. Hyunjin strikes me as bit of an introvert - somewhat guarded too. He has the looks I think he would make a good model… but he also has an artists eye and heart. He might make a good model for other artists but his truer passion is creating art himself - that is what I am really curious to see.

[@emsterhibberd]

I love the analysis of hyunjin/Felix and of Lee know/Han from the other video! But also it made me curious when he mentioned that Felix seemed like he could be the leader, it made me wonder what he would say about Bang Chan since he’s actually the leader

[@Karinaa0910]

Thank you so so much to you and Harley for reacting to this! I loved it so much! So insightful! Thank you again! :)

[@mehreenn]

Watching your skz content always makes my day! It'd be awesome to see you and ur uncle see more of skz, especially Changbin 🥰

[@lifeofmorganp]

Yes to more Uncle Harley!! Not only was it cool to see this episode analyzed but I actually really loved observing the communication style you have with someone else (your uncle!)

[@LifeIsDaijoubuLilySoo]

your uncle is so wholesome 🥰 Maybe you can also do a video on Hyunjin and Han's friendship especially the part where they talked about them fighting a lot before their debut because they're so close now and have come a long way. I think it's super interesting!

[@kubra4922]

You are talking about Hyunjin & Felix but especially after 6:00 , i see you guys as Felix & Hyunjin who are listen and understand eachother and recognise the message coming from the other person. Your energies also matches perfectly.

[@lenarakahn]

i still don't know how hyunjin didn't propose to felix after this. I'm not a shipper but like what's the appropriate reaction to Felix's words

[@miroh8]

right like i'm not a shipper either but literally how do you hear "when i think about you i feel like i have another reason to live but sometimes its too much and i need to calm down" and just move on with your day

[@rosalia7482]

Felix is that type of friend who says these things to his friends 😭 I would actually cry if my friend told me this

[@_e.romher]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@StaysSlay]

LOL I ship them for fun, but I know they just have a very deep friendship! Their reaction to what Felix said made me laugh tho, it really is the best form of "I love you" I've ever heard. Hyunjin (and skz) is soooo blessed to have a best friend like him

[@autumnstars]

​@@rosalia7482 that's one of my favorite things about Felix 😢 he knows the other members so well and knows exactly what sort of encouragement they need.

[@ariagreen6367]

I am late to stray kids and really enjoying their performance now. I really love how JYP Entertainment create pograms for their artist to know each others. Like they did to their other groups, 2PM and GOT7. Their Brotherhood in these groups I believe will Last forever.

[@Videos-nt3wr]

When you mentioned “putting a warm blanket around them and saying I love you, you’re really important to me”, I instantly thought about the first 2 Kids Room with Felix and Chang Bin, who was a lot different then, skinnier, his jaw line proeminent, and he clearly said then that the compliments Felix gave him helped him build his self confidence. I believe that was when Changbin really started to grow and build his muscles as much as he built his strength. The 2nd 2 Kids Room with Changbin and Felix already shows a different Changbin, more confident, assertive, speaking his mind calmly but surely. It’s a good interaction too. I myself always said that Changbin is the guy who pushes people ahead, like he knows his members and their potential (there’s even one video that he is seen motivating Felix to go up front and speaking to the audience). I feel that he is always ready to build their confidence the same way he built his. And Felix was definitely a part of it. Felix is a real Sunshine for other people. SKZ are blessed to have him with them. But I should say that Felix has also a strong personality, he knows what he wants, he left Australia to take part in JYP audition in South Korea speaking only basic Korean, was eliminated, returned and still works really hard to succeed in this with the help of his members. SKZ are a bunch os really special guys! Please, if you have time, try to take a look in those 2 2 kids room with Felix and Changbin and analyze them. I’m sure you will get my point here. BTW: great job. Those are definitely the kind of analysis we need. Congrats!
