Pls react to nct dream 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can u pls react more to got7 💚

[@jessifernando8614]

I recommend you to watch stray kids idol two kids room Bangchan and I.N.

[@hehetzen]

lee know is the cutest please NCT next

[@emmakerssemeeckers5047]

I'd love to see you react to Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. They have a great dynamic even though they have quite different personalities! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJapfWNrmN6UfLM

[@hanjis5894]

"If I was in this group I'd feel left out not being made fun of" Wow that is such a great observation haha. Sometimes a true sign of closeness is just teasing and being mean to each other!

[@maxpbeaumont]

exactly... haha

[@misotang]

i think one dynamic that’s really interesting and often overlooked is han and seungmin-i love how they play off each others’ humor, and although they have pretty opposing personalities, they both have an awareness that allows them to connect with each other. it would be fun if you reacted to their two kids room!

[@nauramusyafa5012]

RIGHTTTT I always notice the way han laugh like there's no tomorrow everytime seungmin does something

[@hellothere7049]

Yess

[@elenymm]

@@nauramusyafa5012 HAN and Hyunjin are gonna start fighting again soon. This time it will be over who is Seungmin's biggest fan. haha

[@juliennees]

yeahh

[@emily1celebfan]

I think Seungmin has become more confident now that he has mastered sarcasm in English - I think it’s really elevated his humour recently!

[@maxpbeaumont]

haha

[@Conwunder03]

I think Bangchan is their safety net. They feel more comfy when he's around because Chan is so open about that he would do everything for them

[@MeccaShields]

Also Hyunjin gets easily and clearly drained so when they have a lot of interviews and stuff in the same day you can really reaaalllly tell what time of day they have an interview 😂

[@nataliavillalobos726]

You are going to love today's two kid's room, it was chan and changbin and you can see they are just really comfortable with each other and they joke around but say something very meaningfull the next second, it is amazing

[@sweetlittlewee]

I feel bad that Lee Know is kinda left out in English interviews. He can be very attentive in his native Korean. They did a great job in this though!

[@sweetlittlewee]

@hityouwitdatdudududududu why

[@ItsNessaTho]

@hityouwitdatdudududududu you might wanna rephrase your comment as well lol. Not much context was given so we have no idea what you're talking about

[@isha7983]

@hityouwitdatdudududududu let it slide not many know what you are saying

[@sweetlittlewee]

@hityouwitdatdudududududu I was truly curious on what was wrong with it in your eyes. I wasn’t being mean! I truly don’t understand why you think it needs rephrased.

[@Nemrafarouk]

@@sweetlittlewee I think it’s the last part, native Korean. When it could’ve been phrased as native language.

[@supermoogle4990]

I really love how you point out Bang Chan’s communication skills, his engagement with the other members. There’s a reason why the big boss in their company trusted him that much to create Stray Kids himself. His awareness and sensitivity towards those around him makes him a credible leader. He has a very good judge of character as well which is why Stray Kids the way they are now. The part where you said about their growth and confidence, I think everyone here 100% agree with you. In their written interviews recently, Stray Kids said themselves how whenever they perform these days, they just enjoy it to their hearts content and just let loose. You can really see how they genuinely enjoy performing on stage, it makes their performance enjoyable to watch. Can I recommend 2 kids room with Chan and Changbin? So many good points can be discussed in that episode ☺️

[@maxpbeaumont]

Maybe i'll check out some of their performances next! thanks for supporting the channel:)

[@supermoogle4990]

@@maxpbeaumont omg thank you for noticing my comment 🥹 if you’d like to observe their performance to see how much they’re having fun, one of the best ones are the last year’s Thunderous performances at the year end awards show like sbs gayo, mbc gayo, kbs gayo and MAMA awards. The performances from Kingdom show are so good as well! Their teamwork is great!

[@misotang]

it’s funny because han is known within the fandom *and* the group as the funny one/moodmaker! i think seungmin being the “funniest” is sort of a new development, but he’s always had a humorous side and was really able to shine this era. i love that you pointed out how they’ve become much more confident-their fanbase has grown exponentially since 2020, and with every new release and new achievement, you can really tell it’s made them feel more appreciated and comfortable in their own skin than ever before.

[@Mmc.879]

I also think (tho I am a new Stay so take this w a grain of salt) that Seungmin has become funnier over time as he's grown more comfortable with each & all of the members

[@jhyunhan]

it sucks that you wont see leeknow interact in english interviews because he gave up on english

[@NinaNinoMi]

Hahaha why did he give up? Is there somewhere he talks about it?

[@ItsNessaTho]

@@NinaNinoMi I don't remember where he said it but he literally went "I gave up on English" lmao 😂

[@lumin4079]

@@ItsNessaTho I mean... same with my French class HAHAHAHHA

[@hanjis5894]

Honestly I don't blame him, it's really hard to learn a new language and they have so much going on already. I wish he could interact a little more in these interviews though, like if someone could translate more to him.

[@Liz-rf4qu]

@@ItsNessaTho like me on Korean.

[@Item_I_ate_them_pac-man]

I think 3RACHA are incredibly close and often don’t show their closeness on camera. Chan has said before he is very close to Changbin as he spends the most time with him. They all have so much respect, love and affection for one another. I think Chan is constantly thinking of all the members, whereas the others have the freedom to worry about just themselves.

[@tyraa9744]

not gonna lie, seungmin surprised me too and i’ve been a fan for almost 2 years now😅

[@maxpbeaumont]

Someone recently mentioned that he's finally mastered sarcasm in english I wonder if that's why he's more outspoken in these interviews now...

[@ayoidek6571]

Seungmin really shone in this interview 💜💜💜 I agree with you, seungmin definitely grew in confidence since their debut and he’s become more outgoing, I love his personality a lot, it’s kind of a mix between Felix and Han

[@michaelaroskova4793]

To me, all of them are funny but Han and Seungmin are the funniest.

[@elenymm]

As someone who's been a fan for a while, it really makes me happy to see how much they've grown up. Since Seungmin is my bias, I am especially happy to see his growth. In the last year or so he's really become more relaxed and open with his quirkiness.

[@maggieromero7445]

I think a big reason why they all look towards BangChan during interviews, especially ones in English, is because he’s kind of their comfort human. They’ve mentioned a lot in Kids Rooms and interviews that they give a lot of thanks to Chan because of how much he has been there for them since their pre-debut days and the amount of help they received from him at that time. A good portion of them are introverts so it probably helps with the speaking up in an interview to look at your comfort human beforehand.

[@amcliver]

Max, the reason they all looked at Chan when they were talking about who takes the most selfies is probably because Stays and Skz like to tease Chan for posting the least on Instagram (and on Bubble he hardly ever uses a picture of himself for his profile picture). So they were definitely teasing him in that moment 😂 but he has been posting a lot more often than he has in the past, not just on insta, but also on Bubble (a messaging service that allows fans to talk to artists). In the past he has said he doesn't think he's very attractive, and he still may believe that, but I think his confidence in his looks has grown a lot in the last year, and it seems like he's getting more comfortable with himself 😊

[@tapioooca5182]

But as Max said, they look at him when they have something to say, like I.N does it here often. In other interviews if you pay attention you'll realize they tend to do that, it's really cute 😂

[@thamys2106]

i agree seungmin definitely got a lot more confident and it shows, he's been so funny lately. just wanted to say i really like your videos, i have always been kinda bad at communicating but im trying to improve and you always help me with your commentary, so thank you!

[@maxpbeaumont]

that's great! thanks for supporting the channel!

[@Marina_Koblova]

You analyze all Stray Kids interviews very deeply I really like your analysis recently released [2 Kids Room] Hyunjin+Seungmin and Bangchan + Changbin. These rooms are very interesting to explore because it shows Changbin's role in the group and the changes Seungmin has had.

[@maxpbeaumont]

appreciate the love! thanks!

[@emilou3747]

ugh i just hope changbin or chan watches these videos you make. they've said before they love fan videos, so i think it's very likely but i feel like this series would be extremely uplifting and empowering for them to see. they are very good at communicating and listening i just hope they realize that! love you max love the content!

[@maxpbeaumont]

Thanks for the support :) much appreciated!

[@behindzerosp]

I knew that Chan stalk us but didn`t know xChangbin had said he likes Stay videos too kkk ^_^

[@aliciapark6241]

The ''BANGCHAN and CHANGBIN'' episode and the ''HYUNJIN and FELIX'' episode is really good. I think there are a lot of new things in these 2

[@kyqueenn]

My favorite part about watching people react to skz personalities is when they find out Seungmin is not reserved and is the real life God of Mischief, Loki.

[@aliciapark6241]

Changbin and Bangchan 2kids room episode released yesterday. The one you wanted to watch if it happens. (They’re part of 3racha:Han&changbin&bangchan producer unit of stray kids. They make skz’s songs so they spent a lot of time together.)

[@forhyunjin2433]

Ah, another episode of me falling in love so hard in Bang Chan

[@idkwh4ttoname]

the way you make everyone see more green flags of chan makes me feel so happy

[@teens_psycho1798]

Seungmin is the funniest now

[@lilila2516]

I was waiting for you to react on this because I noticed Lee know not engage much, probably because of the language barrier plus I love how Seungmin was so funny hereee

[@maymoo572]

GUYS this is my petition to get him to watch the flying yoga episode of stray kids code! 😂👍

[@MeccaShields]

There’s a 2 kids room with him and Bang Chan out today!!!!! They’ve actually been putting them out every Monday 😌

[@arishamohdaffendy4796]

Hi, two kids' room Chan and Changbin is here!!! I know you've been waiting to react to that. Can't wait!!

[@maxpbeaumont]

stay tuned:)))

[@Mmc.879]

Imo, Bang Chan is a great leader bc he always tries to hear out everyone's opinions & also does his best to keep everyone moving forward together. He wants each of them to succeed individually, so that they ultimately will succeed as a group. He cares for them all & they all trust him, which is so valuable & important. Like, he was a trainee for 7 years, which must have been hard af, but I think he ended up with the right group.

[@sonje958]

Love this. Thank you very much! One of the reason why they dont usually say negative stuffs towards Felix is probably because Felix is a bit sensitive and he is an overthinker. Plus, they dont really have much complaints about him because he is like a ball of sunshine for them. He is very sweet and nice. Looks like Max bias are the 3racha members (Chan, Changbin and Han) hahaha

[@elenymm]

Isn't teasing how guys bond, generally speaking? It's so fun to watch although fans sometimes make me annoyed with their reactions to it. (the shipping etc.) They are such different personalities but work so well together. It's actually kinda fascinating.

[@hellothere7049]

Hey, I rlly love ur content and clicked as soon as I saw the notification this was rlly one of the best interviews and I recommend you watch Hyunjin and Seungmins room to go more in depth with Hyunjin and his focus towards seungmin. Have a good day 💕

[@redmoon259]

For me, i think they always hv the confidence in them but it just depends on their moods when they shoot since they r also human, but most of the interviews they handle it so well 🤙 seungmin is crazy these days 😂

[@markiemelon]

You should totally react to nct it’s awkward but it’s okay!!!! It’s essentially where two members of nct who aren’t very close, as nct is a very big group, have to do different activities together. it’s really interesting and I think it could be perfect for a video. Your other nct videos are so interesting to me and I’ve seriously discovered a whole new fascination!!!

[@yannayumul1300]

Good ideaaa

[@alicecliu]

loving all your stray kids reactions! i highly recommend the two most recent two kids rooms: changbin x bangchan and seungmin x hyunjin there’s so much to talk abt in those two

[@oppasjewel2983]

I really hope you'll react to 2 kids room with lee know and hyunjin + hyunjin and seungmin. Lee know is very quiet during english interviews, so I really recommend 2 kids room, he's really active there

[@ostanoviteplenky]

this gesturing 1,2,3 was a spoiler for maxident album😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@novats8321]

0:58 “i just love watching him do what he does” we all do max

[@nylah1516]

another 2 kids room came out today if you wanna check it out !!

[@tapioooca5182]

Max I can't wait for you to react to Bang Chan x Changbin 2 Kids Room episode. I swear their bond is the most precious. It was really fun and touching at the same time.

[@yunecorn3756]

I really hope you watch Changbin and Bangchan’s two kids room!

[@Nay-qe7ye]

I never clicked this quick

[@maxpbeaumont]

Let’s go! ❤️

[@lunalovegood6357]

Please see stray kids first interview on zach sang show! The one where they're all complete and in person talking with zach. I recommend it~

[@samantharosales6399]

Hello, great reaction as always! Thanks for reacting to stray kids content, we appreciate it. You should definitely check out Hyunjin and seungmins room where they describe each other, seungmin will definitely challenge the bias title against changbin

[@marciekitcove]

Nah for real your stray kids' episodes always make my day, thank you for your hard work In putting out this content for us.

[@maxpbeaumont]

:)

[@MandarinSeason]

I really hope you do more two kids room reactions in the future! I definitely recommend the hyunjin/Lee know one and the Chan and Changbin one ( because I know how much you love changbin) but I think more so than others the Felix and hyunjin one is the most endearing and fascinating I hope you post a video about it in the future! Both he new one and the old one, you just see their unbreakable bond so well! I’d love to hear your take on it.

[@nettea8564]

I’m a fan of your videos and skz, and I’m curious about what you thought of the latest 2 kids with bangchan and changbin. They are close but they seem to have less eye contact than when they are with other members. Looking forward to your analysis!

[@haveialigned]

I noticed that too it's almost like they avoid making eye contact with each other!

[@alinacheipesh717]

Remember that interview when they had to choose between hug for a minute or eye contact? Changbin and Bangchan chose eye contact, but couldn’t handle it… its really interesting

[@iishilpisinhaii]

I love how you explain how BangChan communicates! 🥳

[@wardellen4179]

Speaking clearly, thank you for saying how important this is! One of my pet peeves. The crickets sound effect was perfect, I almost choked on my water laughing when that happened. 😂

[@maxpbeaumont]

haha :) Alex says she's glad you're enjoying the special editing touches!

[@jessifernando8614]

Thank you for reacting to stray kids again. I wanted you to know that in the beginning of ORDINARY ALBUM promotions lee know kindda quieter than his usual.(with the brown color hair )Not only in english interviews but also in other korean shows.Fans believe that it was because of the tiredness. I mentioned this because Lee know is one of the loudest members in the group. And I hope you will react to stray kids soon. (my english is not that good)

[@bassbabs6500]

its upsetting because lee know is clearly going through something privately or simply exhausted. every interview he has done with this hair color era he looks drained and out of it. ofc now that he is better, it must be even more frustrating to see himself in that state- being someone that prides himself on living life with a light heart and not taking things too seriously, he must be feeling like he could've done better. i feel bad that lee know couldn't enjoy these moments and i feel worse that he still had to push through not one but 90% of their promotional prerecorded activities- these will be watched by stays globally months after its recorded and lee know, although feeling happier now, is immortialised with this impression on stays this era.

[@pinkerhero]

I'm autistic and all your explanations have been so helpful, thank you. I just wanted to suggest bc I got it wrong for years, if you listen: the first part of Seungmin's name is pronounced more like "soon" with a "g" at the end. You've gotten closer at all of them. 8)

[@yanha325]

Pleaseee react to Seungmin ang Hyunjin's 2 Kids Room it's my fave duo so far!! Their dynamic is sooo good!

[@ionokiero5141]

I am so glad you have Changbin as your bias cause SAME! He is such a great communicator and it is quite the experience to see him interact with all the members, specially with Felix and Bangchan. He is so introspective and knows them so well is heartwarming.

[@i.1800]

Bangchan and Changbin's 2kids room episode released yesterday. You should react to it. It's one of the best episodes in my opinion

[@annelopez7502]

Oh, thank you. I've been waiting for thiiissss... 😍 I hope you could react to hyunjin seungmin 2 kids room. as a seungmin bias I always think that he's funny even from from the start, I mean we have the same humour, he's so random. But he is just silent compared to Han. Han is so loud that you can notice him right away. I think your favourites are Changbin then Chan and Han then Seungmin 😁😅. But maybe I'm wrong 😆.

[@yeemobandtrash6791]

I think you would like Changbin and Bang Chan's 2 kids room which came out recently

[@emilydiguette]

Max! Thanks for making another Stray Kids video. It's interesting to see their dynamic in a group setting especially after watching 2 kids rooms. There's a new 2 kids room with Bang Chan and Changbin. I think you'll really enjoy it!

[@staysruletheworld6868]

Watching these videos really make me catch up on things I might have missed in terms in communication skills, really learning a lot of things from these guys and from your amazing observations,just very wholesome can watch it all day,thnk u

[@maxpbeaumont]

Great to hear my videos are helpful! Thanks for your support :)

[@yuukonen]

How about 2kids - Felix and Hyunjin they are always interesting to watch together?

[@elenymm]

10:20 I think the reason why they're all looking at Chan is because he almost never takes selcas and he's saying that everyone is photogenic (when he often talks badly about his own looks...he must not have good mirrors around him).

[@tapioooca5182]

No they were looking at him implying he's not photogenic, cause he said everyone is. (of course they were teasing 😂)

[@gabymata9751]

It's ok for Lee Know to be quiet but I want to say that in that time and later when he chance his hair to purple; he was so down in performances and interviews so I think he was having a hard time but nobody knows why. BUT NOW HE SEEMS FINE, SO I'M REALLY GLAD HE IS HAPPY NOW

[@bokiemuffin3729]

MAX!!!!! Congratulations on coming out as a SEOLAR (bin biased) (we already knew lmao) love your videossss

[@kimy000]

Can totally imagine Chan watching this video and being all shy blushing hahahahah! You’re spot on max! Love these skz videos, your analysis are so intriguing! ps. There’s a VERY HIGH chance he’ll watch this, he mentions reaction channels all the time and acknowledges videos he has watched!

[@hitherestalkers4621]

I want Bang Chang as my friend. I don’t think i would ever feel left out if i were with him cuz he is so observing. He would keep bringing me into conversation.

[@mariammariam8173]

Max, I really really appreciate and love your reactions . Your analysis are so deep and on point. I definitely agree with you that Han is the funniest member of the group. When he does somethin it's already effortlessly funny ))) Hannie is my every day serotonin and a boost of happiness . As you mentioned he is so quick and witty . I just love his sense of humor very much.Thank you one more time. i am looking forward to more stray kids content.

[@jacksonfreeman5132]

The new 2kids room is changbin and bangchan you should react to it next please. Just in case if you don’t know there is a sub-unit called 3racha which consist of changbin, bangchan and han and they’re the producers of the group. They make their own songs and these 3 member are the producers so they talk about the songs very often in their 2kids room. They also spend a lot of time together bc of this, just like dance unit and vocal unit. Dance unit is lee know hyunjin and felix. Vocal unit is seungmin and IN

[@bincovers]

I think you would also enjoy the new two kids room with bangchan and changbin, changbin talks about human relationships again

[@carolinelewiscarrie2514]

Love this (the interview and the reaction).⭐ You really do a very good job of analysing interactions between people + their communication styles!!!!⭐ This was a very fun interview with the guys, and their vibe here reminds me a bit of the BTS guys when they've done interviews like this (eg they are very quick/witty, endearing, and verbally affectionate towards each other). Agree re all the insightful observations you made about the guys, and definitely agree re Bang Chan and his exceptional leadership qualities!!!!⭐ Will finish the comment here, in the interests of brevity!!!! (although this wasn't brief!!!)😅😊

[@Selma21162]

This was Amaziiiiing. As a stay, I really enjoy ur Skz videos. We want moreeee😅 Btw we connect in the changbin bias thing🤣🤣🤣 but honestly they are all amazi.g and han is indeed very funny

[@chansbbg3855]

10:15 When I first watched this interview, I observed they all looked at him because he rarely ever takes selfies and they might be teasing him for it

[@EVERXD-jp7ju]

Is it only me who loves Max's voice?? Like it's so calming and ofc he is a communication skills teacher so definitely one will get drawn towards what he says but his voice should be appreciated too 😁🥰

[@bbokarilixie8284]

As someone who's kinda awkward at communication but work in a field where I communicate with ppl a lot, there are so much to learn from bang chan, and you made me realize it... Realize how he does it. so you're my teacher in a way. Thank you so much for the video! I really love your stray kids reaction. Your bias is changbin (and han it seems), my bias is bang chan! ❤️

[@irishrainbow_1298]

i missed these videos from my boys 🥹🫶

[@hi-rn8cs]

been watching all your skz videos and I find them so perfect because I, as someone who has an extremely extremely hard time communicating with all the people in my life, am learning quite a lot while also being able to watch my favourite group's dynamics and personalities be broken down. it's not the sort of thing that comes naturally to me at all but I feel like maybe putting more effort into the things you point out in these videos might help me make and keep friends better.

[@scarlettri0t363]
