The overwhelming support and encouragement from our last video was felt deeply -- so I had to bring the man himself back :) If you're interested, click here for our uncut reaction & analysis (2.5 hours): www.patreon.com/maxbeaumont
Rather than 2019 FESTA, I would love to hear his take on the 2022 FESTA where the members emotions are all over the place, they are drinking, sometimes tearful, and they go on to explain how they are going to take a break from group activities to work on solo projects and will no longer be living together as they always have. This was a very important moment for them....whether it was their decision or circumstances pulled the carpet from beneath them, their lives seem to have had to change overnight. Frankly I am concerned for their well being, as since, they have had to begin enlisting as well. Would love his insight. ARMY grandma
These videos are great! Thanks again to you & your uncle for another insightful & heartfelt discussion. It was wonderful to see your uncle really, "get it," about BTS, both as a group & as individual people. Unfortunately, I've known a few psychologists who viewed people in much the same way an entomologist looks at insects; without fail, they were also some of the least self-reflective people I've met who weren't finance bros. By contrast, your uncle seems like a warm, knowledgeable & wise person who's genuinely interested in humanity and who has applied the insights of his field to his own life. Whenever it's possible, I'd love to see more of these analyses with him. I've seen others request that you look at the last Festa dinner, in which they discussed their hiatus. I'll second that, and also, I have a question: have you considered listening to & discussing any of BTS' music with your uncle? I know you've been focusing on their group dynamics as seen in their vlogs & dinners, which makes sense. That said, I also think that an exploration of their music gives a more holistic image of who they are as individuals & as a team. BTS has entire album series' that are conceptually centered around self-actualization, the psychoanalytic process and, specifically, Jungian analysis. I'd love to hear your uncle's thoughts on the song cycle Intro: Persona, Interlude: Shadow & Outro: Ego (from the album, "Map Of The Soul: 7").
@@KimmyGibsonO I personally think that they need more context before getting to Festa 2022. Maybe some of their Bangtan bombs, Runs or their interviews abroad. ( With Jimmy Fallon for example)
I love how he commented about Suga, how he immediately knew that he’s a sensitive person and feel things deeply even with that cold expression Suga shows. this is what i love about psychology
TRUE BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE AS HE SAYS CALL SUGA COLD PERSON AND THAT IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S A CELEBRITY OR A NON-CELEB IT DOES NOT MATTERS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STORY TO TELL.
uncle harley doing his own research on bts just made this a whole lot more wholesome 😭 there’s so much to dive into, esp their own individual personality & when they’re together with another or all members. thank u for this❤

I loved when his said about he was talking about them as human beings, their solid character. Because that’s when and why I became army. I first met then on a documentary, they intrigued me, their behaviors, their thoughts …Then I became more and more curious and impressed on the same level… only when they already got me all wrapped around their fingers I’ve became aquatinted with their music .
JIN.. he comes off as goofy and appears immature but that’s not true.. he is one of the most mature person I have seen.. the way he took care of the members even though he was just a teenager.. and the way he puts others before himself.. He is never proud or arrogant cuz he is the eldest but very humble and kind. He gets hurt easily but doesn’t show it most times.. He is the ‘hyung’ that everyone looks up to.. that glues the group together 💜
@@kanchansharma6986 yes he is actually really smart on the personal level. he is quick to read the situation and step in if they need something fun. he always help RM whenever they do interviews Jin don´t have any issues with being akward and it relaxes everyone else J-hope is like that too. without them the members would be way more posed and serious all the time. they even thought RM to take a step back from being the leader. and just have fun because to always be the leader is also feeling left out. and that´s not good. it made him depressed so they each learn from each other.
I am a silver-haired ARMY. I didn’t know I needed it, but I feel so validated. Thank you Uncle Harley. I really don’t have anyone to talk to about BTS. If I mention them in conversation people either glaze over or look like they want to pat me on the head and say “that’s nice dear.” Obviously I truly enjoyed this conversation.
I don't usually watch BTS reaction videos anymore but as a 59 year old that has been ARMY since 2017 I find this interesting and love your uncle's analysis. Very intuitive for someone that hasn't dived deep into the rabbit hole!!! Thanks for this. Borahae!
7:15 I loved that he noticed this! Most of the members tend to talk to Namjoon (RM) or towards him, I assume it's because he's the leader and they know he's kind of an anchor for them. Namjoon never ignores or belittles what the members have to say so it's probably a comfort to speak towards him rather than speak as if speaking to a group (because there's cameras and crew all around them as well).
what you said about them openly giving out i-love-you's triggered this memory of mine, so i found the exact quote to share. it's from a livestream of jimin that he did on the day of his birthday in 2021 "In the past, when I thought about armys, they seemed like my friends or colleagues. But you know, even with the members… we didn’t all get along from the beginning. We were all so different. We liked different things. We had different personalities. The 7 of us got together, and spent time together, and 10 years has passed. So it’s not simply a matter of liking this person or not anymore. I’ve developed feeling that I can’t describe. So at first when we started to get fans, and ARMYs came to existence, when we promoted on music shows with them, and communicated with them, they felt like friends or colleagues. In my head, it felt like we had our arms around each other’s shoulders. But time went on, the relationship went beyond friendship, and beyond that, and beyond that, and beyond that. So now, I can’t explain it. For example, if someone asks us “What is ARMY to you?”, I’d be at a loss of words. It’s hard to describe in a word. Yes, that kind of relationship we developed. Actually, we don’t have a distant relationship, but I can’t simply say it’s a close relationship. But you’ve become someone I love, and miss at the same time. I think, we love each other so much. You don’t talk about stuff like this in your everyday life. You don’t tell someone “I love you” all the time. But we do. We proudly say “I love you”. We have that kind of relationship. I really really wish for your happiness. Really."
This is when I realized that this was far beyond a fan to idol or celebrity relationship. Bc even with me being ARMY for a year I feel this love as well. Not a crush not a simple oh I’m so and so fan. But that I genuinely love these 7 men. Like love them.
You mentioning that reminds me of the time i read this..and was a bit emotional..no wonder i love them so much & no wonder Jimin is one of my ultimate bias
Jin is the youngest in his real family and V is the oldest in his real family. I guess it makes sense that your uncle thought V is the oldest. V also change quite a lot compared to his personality in 2013/14. He is more chaotic than Jhope back then lol. This is why I love BTS so much becuase they are so human and makes me feel relatable to them.
Uncle Harley is a baby ARMY even if he doesn't realize it😊 His insight is deep and so refreshing! Thank you Max for bringing him along. He picked up on their authenticity so quickly😊
One thing I really appreciate about Uncle Harley is how kind and positive he is about the relationship between BTS and ARMY! I’ve seen one too many people claiming to have expertise in psychology and psychoanalysing parasocial relationships in a negative light and degrading ARMYs for it. it’s a nuanced conversation of course, but it rarely warrants the kind of criticism that particularly teenage girls receive for it. So it’s really nice to see a psychologist approach this with an open and nonjudgmental mind and seeing the relationship for what it is. Thank you both for your hard work as always!
I think people leave consent out of the parasocial relationship conversation a lot. The idol/fan relationship is parasocial, but that doesn't have to be bad. I'm with you... Would love to see some scholarship about it. Maybe I should go finish my sociology PhD 🤣
@@evantesseract737 that’s true! I think the assumption is that parasocial relationships are exclusively one way (I know that not all artists care to the degree that BTS does, but still). Even the few papers that I have read on parasocial relationships that acknowledge the benefits of it, they adopt a tone of “well it’s harmful to rely on parasocial relationships for comfort and not put yourself out there” - as if fans are just overeager puppets trailing after their idols throwing out crumbs. It’s a dehumanising assumption that I wish got challenged more in academia. (Sorry for nerding out hahah, fellow sociology student here starting my master’s in the fall. Wishing you all the luck with your ph.d. that’s so exciting!)
@@acesquare30 true because we would also feel if the guys or the label for that matter was not thinking of us and think of themself and money all the time. there has been so many cases where the staff is doing things to help army but also the memebers. like they did at the online concert in the pandemic. they put up screens so fans could be there live so BTS could feel their energy because they know how hard it was for them too. they always think about us and we also feel that from the guys. i think the staff is army too
So I clicked on this, out of curiosity, because I only started listening to BTS a few months ago. Boy has my mind been opened. I didn't understand the hype, but I get it now. Anyway, short story long... NEVER thought I would sit through an hour-long reaction video, without moving from my seat, being entertained and educated. Thank you for this.
the magic of bts. they are all so so different, yet the heart of each is about the same values. their love, their dreams and their passion are three whales the legacy was built upon
Some people confuse being childlike with being childish. Taehyung is playful and has an innocence about him that he hasn’t lost, but he’s also a really mature person with a formidable inner strength. It’s a very interesting combination of traits that makes Taehyung such a complex and compelling personality.
Your uncle talking about the symbiotic relationship between bts and army warmed my heart. I thought that so many times 💜 Thank you for a great video. Absolutely love you two together 💜
I am absolutely obsessed with this duo. You both are not only insightful, observant & nuanced but also complement each other's thoughts. It's a joy to see you guys assess the human aspects of Bangtan. An effortless analysis that flows from one point to another. I can watch you two speak for hours & cannot wait for more videos in the future. Great Job Thank You :)
He saw that V is mature. Most people miss that. He is mature and down to earth. He just has a problem expressing himself well sometimes. So he doesn't talk as much.
In my experience Tae has language deficiency. Probably because his education was truncated. And Jungkook is worse. But his is just global lack of knowledge than language.
@@ValentineEvents What you mean his education was truncated? he literally finished his high school and graduated from department of broadcasting and entertainment at global cyber university and even received president's award .
I really love your uncle’s take on how great people they are to follow. More parents and adults need to understand how much happiness and comfort they bring fans. They’re seriously the most appreciative and grateful people, and always so kind and sweet towards fans and never fail to show their love. Just overall great role models and amazing people😊
I also feel (though they'd probably be embarrassed and downplay it) that they have plenty to teach us older folks too, about working hard, thinking positively, having a grateful attitude, etc.
When your Uncle started talking about Suga wearing his emotions outwardly and being comfortable sharing his personal history I immediately thought of his latest mv release Amygdala. Uncle Harley is so on point with his assessment of each of the members and I have no doubt if he continues to get to know them he will be able to expand even more on each of their distinct personalities. I believe these unique personalities are what has allowed all of the members to maintain an appreciation for one another and a cohesiveness never seen before in the music industry as well as perhaps many familial settings.
i like that ur uncle pointed out BTS did have to put in the teamwork to be so solid as a group they are today and continuously. RM and also other members often marvel at how different each of them are from each other but yet they are able to come together so unitedly and strongly, and this for sure takes effort driven by a love for each other. RM once said they are looking at different things while on the same boat going in the same direction. SUGA said each person has its unique role n strengths n thats why they're amazing collectively. they definitely worked hard to learn about, understand each other. as with any group of humans coming together, they had arguments n times where they had to try to understand each other's diff perspectives but they learnt very well how to resolve things with one another and u can tell how intimate they understand each others' personalities, and how much they truly accept and embrace each other's unique differences.
OMG 38:11 that’s how an Army is born😂😂😂😂😂 You and your uncle are awesome! Just like your uncle now I love them too…I’m in my 40’s I started listening and watching BTS three months ago and I received my Army membership last week! I love these kids so much💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jin and RM. Now you know Jin is the oldest , he is actually the one who keeps the group in order, it is normal in Korean culture for the oldest to be in charge. So Jin occasionally chivvies the others, even RM does what he is told. RM's leadership role is more along the lines of negotiating with management and speaking in public, especially because he is the only one who speaks good English. RM and Sugar were the first two members and I think that vision was shared and nurtured by the 2 of them. This was a very interesting video, so thanks to the both of you
Jin’s personality is so interesting how he goofs around to ease the atmosphere and don’t show his sad side to us and always thinks of a way to make us laugh. I love your videos by the way❤️
I got teary-eyed when your uncle enthusiasticly said that he loves them personally. That made me so happy. From just 2 videos he's smitten with their wonderful personas. They have helped me so much just by how they act with each other so it makes me so happy that your uncle recognize their value.
We think of events like the Festa dinner as being for ARMY. And these events are for us, but they are also for the sake of making a bonding experience for the members. I remember times when they were assigned to write letters to each other. They all got to know more about each other and feel more connected. Edit: And BTS is aware and values these talks. Max, you and your uncle said it very well. 48:53-49:33 Edit again: And Jin and Jimin, too!
You seem such a good person, and the sweet respectful interaction with your uncle just proves that. No wonder you both are drawn to BTS. For me, when BTS speaks, it is therapy by proxy : they learn, I learn, they grow, I want to grow. Keep up the good work !
15:55 “they come to their audience …” I think the history of BTS is relevant here. They signed on to a tiny indie label with no influence in the S Korean music scene. It was their own talent and hard work plus, crucially, the support of ARMY that got them some traction. They never forget that the fans brought them success. I’m 68 yo and I’ve never seen anything like this artist-fan relationship.
This video just created a warmth in my heart, and where people feel chills, I felt like a warm blanket was being draped over me. I felt safe and protected once again. I am tearing up now!!
I love the relationship you have with your uncle Harley. He seems to bring out a different side to you, a more relaxed side. I love how he calls you Maxwell and you both just seem to have a very easy going and loving relationship. It's funny because as I was watching your uncle analyse BTS, I was analysing your relationship and it comes across as very warm and comforting. You're both very lucky to have each other and I also appreciate uncle Harley's input as someone completely new to BTS and ARMY, he's very insightful and has been really on the mark most of the time! Look forward to more videos of both you reacting to BTS 😊💜
I see the same thing and honestly the way they interact reminds me of seeing younger idols with their sunbae on Suchwita. There's a very soft respect and admiration there. It's so heart-warming 💜
@Evan 에반 I agree! That's a great word to use to describe it, admiration. You can really tell he admires his uncle and there's definitely mutual respect there.
Yes, they 'regulate' themselves. I always notice this too, esp during interviews where they are by themselves without a person-interviewer. ARMYs actually wish most times they were interviewed by themselves with questions because most times the interviewers act weird or ask unrelated ridiculous questions. Good analysis, thanks Uncle and Max 💜
Thank you both for another thoughtful analysis. It was so interesting to hear your descriptions of BTS as a group reaching out to ARMY and of them as individuals. 💜
Anyone with that wisdom, experience and life knowledge is someone to listen to!! Such a great addition to your already wonderful videos!! I love the innocent and pure aspect of Uncles opinions!!!
Your uncles first impression of suga is interesting because suga's new music video really puts his emotions and scenes from his life out there. Amazing how your uncle could analyse that so accurately from this clip!
Uncle is so on point(not surprising cause he is psychologist) when he said yoongi is comfortable sharing his stories for others. Seeing his albums and songs it's very hard to share these stories but I am very grateful for that I can gain hope and be inspired all the time. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Max and Uncle Harley, thank you for analyzing the Festa 2019 and sharing your thoughts. I especially liked how Uncle Harvey analyzed Suga's personality. I was just deep-diving into Suga's new album D-Day and what he said about Suga is reflected and demonstrated in Suga's music and lyrics. I also really like the fact that your analyses of BTS as a group, along with their interactions and communication skills, reinforces the group's uniqueness. They are truly a once in a lifetime group. Apart from the outstanding music and performances, the group's synergy and, to borrow your phrase, the symbiosis between ARMY and BTS make it nearly impossible to find a "next BTS".
Fyi, there was a time that Jin initiated so the group could take a day off to be able to get to know each other and talk heart to heart about their concerns and that moment was memorable for all of them. 💜
I love how you put how great BTS characters are, even Jimin was the first one I liked in terms of performance, their individual personality made me sign up and be an Army myself. They really made me happy, laugh out loud and inspired.
It’s so endearing to see you smile while watching them talk. That’s exactly what happens to all of us. They put a smile on our faces and lighten up pur hearts. They are pure love.
Your uncle in only two videos seems to get Taehyung a lot haha. I love it. Taehyung is so pure like a child sometimes but he is also really mature and in this settings when they are all talking he is more quiet waiting for his turn to speak so I think I know why he thought he is the oldest.
Loved this reaction, I think you two compliment each other's thoughts very well! It's very refreshing to hear an analysis from a psychological perspective alongside a communication standpoint, they go hand in hand and it gives a fuller and more thorough interpretation. Thanks for these reactions and for breaking down bts' friendship and teamwork, you're always on point!
This video genuinely makes me tear up as an older army, I’m so grateful that some people like u guys can take the time to actually try to understand BTS without judgement or preconceptions and get why we as a fandom are so attached to them as a group of artists Thank u for this💜
Oncle doing his BTS research before the new video was just so sweet 🥹💜 Love and respect to him. His analysis of our Bangtan was on point!!! AmaJin! And I was so happy hearing his words about BTS and when he said he loves them, i started crying 🥹💜 Greetings from Austria to you both
I am always cautious about analyzing the guys' words & actions too closely but I really appreciate these videos and conversations. Sometimes it can be hard to understand *why* we love them and cherish them so deeply. They truly are amazing 💜.
"v comes across as highly mature." "ah!.. ok. interesting?" had me dead HAHHAAHA but yes, tae as pretty mature but I guess his innocent aura and charm in general may kind of cover that fact.
I don't remember well who from the members said it(I think it was Jimin in 'Let's BTS') but he said that V is actually the most 'down to earth' of them all !
The one has nothing to do with the other at least not in the way you think, mature people can be funny, and they can make others smile maturity and wise words are relative and related Taehyung is both he just doesn’t go around showing off.
@@CelineV95First of all, being down to earth has nothing to do with maturity; so Jimin was NOT speaking to V’s maturity by any stretch of the imagination; and V is anything BUT reserved/quiet. I thought that was a strange assessment too - but that’s because watching them sitting and talking is far different from watching them actually ‘operate’ in their typical days. I would say, they should combine this kind of observation with watching RUN BTS. THAT’S when their personalities really show. Secondly, V’s the one the group has always considered to be extremely emotional - up and down - and ‘wack’ (in a good way) because he does and says odd things and he’s an outside of the box thinker - we’ve seen examples of all of this in RUN BTS shows. But I do think the this man’s assessment of V is off and it started in the last show where he called Jimin the prankster, kind of off the wall, attention-seeking guy, which actually described V to a ‘t’; I’m baffled he can make these assessment in just 2 observations. And I’m also baffled by some of the other things that were said about some of the guys but I take these things with a grain of salt.
I'm always here for you two. Watching your interactions with each other is so heartwarming 💜 Namjoon and leadership: it's really heartening how the leaders of younger groups look up to him and base their leadership style on his. He's really respected, not just by his group, but in his whole profession. He became the leader quite young in a company that was on the cusp of failing and with a boss that was trying to treat artists differently - including giving them more control. He was really worried that he didn't know how to lead, and he worked to learn, but he didn't have anyone to learn directly from. He figured a lot out for himself, and really felt the weight of the responsibility. He created a leadership style that I'm very glad others are emulating. He's not strict, he primarily leads by example, but when he does put his foot down you know it's important.
I'm happy to see your uncle Harley again ! He seems to enjoy BTS interconnexion as much as you. You guys, are doing an amazing job together. Also, the symbiotic relationship between BTS and Army is a true thing, and I hope it will last forever, in the same joyfull, caring, loving and motivational way.
I'm not used to seeing reactions from BTS, but this reaction is so, so genuine from you and your uncle, how he began to investigate my beautiful kings, I adore him. And yes, the relationship between Army and Bts is something so unique that very few outsiders can understand, that symbiosis has changed my life. I am 45 years old and I am a mother baby Army, but since they entered my life, I tell you that I cannot take them away from me, and I admire them very much and they give me hope in humanity, to find people like this in this increasingly degraded world, and meeting BTS and Army has enlightened my life. There is hope in humanity, thank you BTS
This an interesting video for Suga and Jhope. All the guys, to me, seem most comfortable in situations like this when it's just them talking. This means Suga is really okay sharing more, rather than the "cold" appearance he has in other settings. It also means Jhope is more relaxed and feels less of the need to be "on" because the others don't need the hype energy for this type of video when they're all comfy already.
I think they have been doing Hobi dirty.... I keep waiting to hear his Uncle's thoughts on Hobi. So disappointed. Even when attention was put towards Hobi they would say nothing or speak on someone else, I mean that's good of course, but geez.... stop skipping over Hobi already, please. Would like to hear insights or thoughts about Hobi, but still getting nothing here😮💨
But I definitely like what you pointed out here about Suga and Hobi. And I'm as always I'm very happy to see the guys relaxed and just having a good time.
Is so great having Uncle Harley again! We say that you start following them for the music but you stay for their personality and their energy and synergy and fall in love for their interactions. I'm older than them and I learn from them every day. Their strong mind, the fact that they can say 'I love you' to each other, that they can cry, that they can say 'ey you, wow man, you're so beautiful' to a random people, or things they don't like in a sincere way, or are not afraid to laugh at themselves, that they encourage each other because they really admire each other... there is a lot we can learn! Surely there were several fights before and surely they argue to a lesser extent now because they already know each other, but all those things I said before we can see are totally genuine and teach us to look at everything in a deeper way and understand more about ourself and others . If you see it's just them chatting, but there's so much detail to see in those interactions, so thank you for these videos, I love them!
The way you look at your uncle is beautiful. You seem to hold a lot of respect and admiration for him. ❤ So glad to see Uncle Harley back, hope to see more.
Wow, just stumbled upon this video and truly, I am glad to hear your insightful and delightful views on each of the members individually, how one and united they are as a group and their love and gratitude towards each other and the Armys. Truly good role models for today's generation! 💖
Once again I really loved this reaction - thank you so much! It is so nice to see someone new being introduced to BTS and they just get it. Thank you Uncle Harley for understanding how special our boys are. I loved the things you said about the relationship between the group but also the relationship between BTS and Army - you got it spot on how much we love and support each other - BTS and Army just fit together. I really hope you guys do more reactions like this - Borahae! 💜
really fascinating to be in on this conversation -- to hear this breakdown of what army knows in their gut: why character and gratefulness are so essential to what makes bts such a life-enhancing group ... but on top of that, the quality of their craft: music, dance, performance, vocals, message, lyrics, visuals -- sometimes to step back and appreciate all these things bts has going for them is overwhelming and something people outside of the fandom just can't comprehend/don't believe ... i am forever grateful for these beautiful humans who save me every day
to bad you both live far apart because you also have a natural bonding it looks like you both like to be around each other and learn from each other there is a lot of respect . your uncle seems like a very nice guy
This was really great. BTW, Suga has now used this traits of him to launch 슈쥐타 witch essentially is a talkshow with guest, but still very different from the ordinary ones on TV. The way you see them act and behave and being role models have made ARMYS wanting to do better for themselves and those around them. As a fan base they are the best. They have even saved lives. And uncle Harley notecing how this could come around without even knowing is just awesome. Welcome to the ARMY uncle 💜
awww uncle HARLEY doing his own research about purple hearts is just sooo cute I love it🥺🥺💜💜 thank you for making this video with him coz I really really wanted to see him talking about what he thinks of BTS and it's visible that uncle Harley is very much interested in our boys I'm thankful that you made this video, it's soo nice to see him💜💜💜
Wish I had an open-minded family like Uncle Harley! Thank you for the analysis, I am a university student and my sub-major is psychology so this content makes more sense to me.
YOUR UNCLE IS A LOVE EVERY NEW GENERATION NEEDS A SUPPORT SYSTEM LIKE HIM IF THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THE GENERATION GAP AND THANKS FOR THIS LOVE LOVE BTS.
MAN I really enjoyed this and I didn't feel it was almost an hour video ! I love watching how you communicate with your uncle and how you listen to him, it feels like you guys are friends , I find the way he calls your name when he speaks very engaging and sweet .. I really do learn alot from you and him
The videos of you and your uncle are rapidly becoming a favourite to watch. The way your uncle is spot on...wow. and I admire the loving way you two talk about our guys 💜💜💜 Borahae.
Your uncle is correct in a way. V had explained what the color purple meant. He had said that the color purple means that I will trust and love you forever.He also came up with the phrase Boranhae to go with it. That is why they associate Army with the color purple. They always give everything into their performances. And always try yo interact with their fans, whether it's through a Weverse Live or through the messages that they post. I know a lot of Armies are missing the members right now, Especially Jin and J-hope as they are fulfilling their mandatory military service. But also think it gives them all a chance to reflect on who they are and what they mean to so many people. They are all so talented and even if there is a language barrier, It still amazes me that they can write and make such wonderful music. I know a few years back that they had actually thought about disbanding, I am so very glad that they didn't.
He got pretty close. 😁 I think what V was getting at with the "last color" thing is something along the lines of "I'll love you until the end of the rainbow." We'll go through all the colors together. So that gets us to borahae the way we all use it now. He wasn't all that clear at connecting the last color part to the love and trust you for a long time part, so a variety of interpretations are possible 💜 I actually liked Uncle Harley's interpretation even though it's not what V said. It would fit!
@@evantesseract737 you can check his full explanation of the color on "let's BTS" interview, he talked about it in detail 💜 Uncle Harley said it exactly as Tae said it in that interview
Your uncle captures exactly how I feel about these guys, and I think why all Army's genuinely love and care for their wellbeing. Your uncles love for these guys will only grow each time he watches them, we should all aspire to be a little more like BTS with our own family and friends.
Yay Uncle Harley and Max! Thanks for another great reaction. Again, we have learned a lot about the Tannies, their personalities and communication skills which we could apply to our selves in our daily lives. Appreciate what you guys are doing. Borahae!!
Thank you Harley and Max for your deep insight! I've always felt that BTS are good people to follow because they are inspiring, grateful and sincere. But having it heard from another people (professionals at that with unbiased pov) has made me feel even more grateful that I get to know and follow all of them. Also, I learned more about BTS once again! I love these guys😭💜
I liked how you knew each member and seems study them, this makes you get to like them more(as a person and as an artist).. Like what Suga said, once you see them or get to know them, there's no way out..Thanks for some wholesome reactions/content..
About Jungkook--one thing I've noticed is that here and there in various interviews he will say things that demonstrate he feels he is not worthy of love, just for who he is. So his comment about how JK of BTS shines but as just himself he is insignificant--this to me, when put together with the other things I've heard, is an indication that the reason he works so hard is because he really does think he has to earn (be worthy of) love from people. I think he's concerned about what he would be without BTS--and if he would still be loved. I found that when I watched his recent solo work (I'm thinking mostly Dubai) there is a self-consciousness that conveys these fears that he is unworthy. There's a subtle roll forward of his shoulders in how he holds himself; he looks down a lot. This seems different than when he does solo things in a concert with BTS. He's braver with them. I think he loves the attention, thrives on it, needs it in a deeply unconscious way--one of the reasons for his recent late night unexpected VLives (when I see him on late at night like that I think, poor baby--he's lonely tonight). But he doesn't seem to like being on his own. I'm definitely a JK bias, but old enough to be his mom, and this is the one thing that really brings out the mama bear in me. I pray for him too--that he would come to know that he is worthy of love just for being himself, not for being the "golden maknae."
Yes I agree w/you about JK, but I wish for Him someday to realise that He's got a natural talent & He's so amazing & that there's fans & JK biases that will love & support Him until the end... btw i'm a 60 yr. old grandma & a JK bias💜💜💜
You nailed it I also have always noticed the same about him especially in their documentaries. I believe he's getting more confident tho, seeing how he finally starts setting more boundaries with the weirdo fans now.
Thank you sir for sharing your thoughts. I was really impressed and grateful. Especially when he mentioned the "symbiotic relationship". I've heard that before and I just feel like it's such a fitting way to describe Bangtan and ARMYs relationship. I can't count how many times BTS has made me want to do better.
I loved that he was able to see how sensitive Suga is even though he shows a tougher exterior sometimes. I'm so proud of how far he's come in dealing with his mental health. He's so strong and brave. It was lovely to hear a psychologist speak about him in that way when so many people often label him as cold or unfeeling. Army knows his true self isn't that at all.
I am watching the video and I’m genuinely enjoying this conversation between you and your uncle, also how well he is describing our Bangtan 7 and adding new information about their personalities from his perspective as a psychologist. I loved that he is back! I love this reaction! I can’t wait for more
I love how spontaneous, innocent, and on point Max and uncle’s analysis are. I hope we can get to watch more of these reaction videos. It is so refreshing. My favorites in one frame, I mean BTS and psychology (human behavior) 💜💜💜
your uncle is very nice. you two give off similar vibes/talk similarly. you speak clearly, don't talk fast, and explain your points calmly. and it seems like you too have a great relationship. i guess that's why, besides your jobs, this video and the other one with him turned out so well. harley doing his own research on bts was very sweet and wholesome. would love to see more of the two of you in other videos!
The interaction and bond between you and your uncle is something so beautiful to watch, such a lovely, smart and real people. So glad that you guys making this video with BTS 💜💜
The overwhelming support and encouragement from our last video was felt deeply -- so I had to bring the man himself back :)

Rather than 2019 FESTA, I would love to hear his take on the 2022 FESTA where the members emotions are all over the place, they are drinking, sometimes tearful, and they go on to explain how they are going to take a break from group activities to work on solo projects and will no longer be living together as they always have. This was a very important moment for them....whether it was their decision or circumstances pulled the carpet from beneath them, their lives seem to have had to change overnight. Frankly I am concerned for their well being, as since, they have had to begin enlisting as well. Would love his insight. ARMY grandma
Thank you🙋♀️💜🥰🙏🏻 really enjoy this as an ARMY mom I’m very proud of my 7 boys and appreciate people who care about them.
These videos are great! Thanks again to you & your uncle for another insightful & heartfelt discussion. It was wonderful to see your uncle really, "get it," about BTS, both as a group & as individual people.
Unfortunately, I've known a few psychologists who viewed people in much the same way an entomologist looks at insects; without fail, they were also some of the least self-reflective people I've met who weren't finance bros. By contrast, your uncle seems like a warm, knowledgeable & wise person who's genuinely interested in humanity and who has applied the insights of his field to his own life.
Whenever it's possible, I'd love to see more of these analyses with him. I've seen others request that you look at the last Festa dinner, in which they discussed their hiatus. I'll second that, and also, I have a question: have you considered listening to & discussing any of BTS' music with your uncle?
I know you've been focusing on their group dynamics as seen in their vlogs & dinners, which makes sense. That said, I also think that an exploration of their music gives a more holistic image of who they are as individuals & as a team. BTS has entire album series' that are conceptually centered around self-actualization, the psychoanalytic process and, specifically, Jungian analysis. I'd love to hear your uncle's thoughts on the song cycle Intro: Persona, Interlude: Shadow & Outro: Ego (from the album, "Map Of The Soul: 7").
@@KimmyGibsonO
I personally think that they need more context before getting to Festa 2022. Maybe some of their Bangtan bombs, Runs or their interviews abroad. ( With Jimmy Fallon for example)
I love how he commented about Suga, how he immediately knew that he’s a sensitive person and feel things deeply even with that cold expression Suga shows. this is what i love about psychology
Yes. I would love to see them reacting to Amygdala....
TRUE BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE AS HE SAYS CALL SUGA COLD PERSON AND THAT IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S A CELEBRITY OR A NON-CELEB IT DOES NOT MATTERS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STORY TO TELL.
Yes on point about Suga.
Absolutely on point for Sugar as his lyrics are so deep and emotional and puts up an initial shield to probably protect himself
G DRAGON THE KING ....
uncle harley doing his own research on bts just made this a whole lot more wholesome 😭 there’s so much to dive into, esp their own individual personality & when they’re together with another or all members. thank u for this❤
Yes, that made me smile so much!
Uncle Harley is the best,very impressive 💜💜💜🤌
ARMY in the making.. Just like most of us fell down the rabbit hole.. 🤭🤭🤭

You and your uncle analyzing BTS is my new fav thing . Thanks for giving us another amazing BTS content...hope to see this duo more.
Mom is watching this with me
Exactly … know I want Uncle Harley to become a regular 🥰
I loved when his said about he was talking about them as human beings, their solid character. Because that’s when and why I became army. I first met then on a documentary, they intrigued me, their behaviors, their thoughts …Then I became more and more curious and impressed on the same level… only when they already got me all wrapped around their fingers I’ve became aquatinted with their music .
G DRAGON KING ,,,
As a Korean army I watch your vids to learn english! It's actually really effective and fun :))
This made me smile so much.
Me, too. I'm learning English through these contents in Korea^^
That’s really cool to hear. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I love that! Max speaks slowly and carefully, he's a good choice!
There are Korean reactors I watch to get better at Korean 😁
I'm a brazilian army and i really like to watch his videos to learn english too
JIN.. he comes off as goofy and appears immature but that’s not true.. he is one of the most mature person I have seen.. the way he took care of the members even though he was just a teenager.. and the way he puts others before himself.. He is never proud or arrogant cuz he is the eldest but very humble and kind. He gets hurt easily but doesn’t show it most times.. He is the ‘hyung’ that everyone looks up to.. that glues the group together 💜
Well said. Facts about Jin.
so true
I agree a 💯! He acts immature sometimes to keep it light .. he is the best soul I have seen on screen!
@@kanchansharma6986 yes he is actually really smart on the personal level. he is quick to read the situation and step in if they need something fun. he always help RM whenever they do interviews Jin don´t have any issues with being akward and it relaxes everyone else J-hope is like that too. without them the members would be way more posed and serious all the time. they even thought RM to take a step back from being the leader. and just have fun because to always be the leader is also feeling left out. and that´s not good. it made him depressed so they each learn from each other.
So true!!! 💜💜💯💯
Not your uncle going down the rabbit hole to find about our BORAHAE purple history. I love that💜
Same, I love that too! V did coin the term Borahae, it means “I purple you!” It means I Will Trust and Love you till the end.
I thought the same thing. I think Uncle Harley is a very wise, intelligent, and overall good person. BTS attracts those kinds of persons.
G DRAGON KING ,,,
I am a silver-haired ARMY. I didn’t know I needed it, but I feel so validated. Thank you Uncle Harley. I really don’t have anyone to talk to about BTS. If I mention them in conversation people either glaze over or look like they want to pat me on the head and say “that’s nice dear.” Obviously I truly enjoyed this conversation.
We love to hear that :)
Silver haired ARMY here as well! There are plenty of us out here. You’re not alone, but in great company. 💜
I don't usually watch BTS reaction videos anymore but as a 59 year old that has been ARMY since 2017 I find this interesting and love your uncle's analysis. Very intuitive for someone that hasn't dived deep into the rabbit hole!!! Thanks for this. Borahae!
G DRAGON KING ,,,
7:15 I loved that he noticed this! Most of the members tend to talk to Namjoon (RM) or towards him, I assume it's because he's the leader and they know he's kind of an anchor for them. Namjoon never ignores or belittles what the members have to say so it's probably a comfort to speak towards him rather than speak as if speaking to a group (because there's cameras and crew all around them as well).
what you said about them openly giving out i-love-you's triggered this memory of mine, so i found the exact quote to share. it's from a livestream of jimin that he did on the day of his birthday in 2021
"In the past, when I thought about armys, they seemed like my friends or colleagues. But you know, even with the members… we didn’t all get along from the beginning. We were all so different. We liked different things. We had different personalities. The 7 of us got together, and spent time together, and 10 years has passed. So it’s not simply a matter of liking this person or not anymore. I’ve developed feeling that I can’t describe. So at first when we started to get fans, and ARMYs came to existence, when we promoted on music shows with them, and communicated with them, they felt like friends or colleagues. In my head, it felt like we had our arms around each other’s shoulders. But time went on, the relationship went beyond friendship, and beyond that, and beyond that, and beyond that. So now, I can’t explain it. For example, if someone asks us “What is ARMY to you?”, I’d be at a loss of words. It’s hard to describe in a word. Yes, that kind of relationship we developed. Actually, we don’t have a distant relationship, but I can’t simply say it’s a close relationship. But you’ve become someone I love, and miss at the same time. I think, we love each other so much. You don’t talk about stuff like this in your everyday life. You don’t tell someone “I love you” all the time. But we do. We proudly say “I love you”. We have that kind of relationship. I really really wish for your happiness. Really."
This is seriously the most beautiful thing I’ve read. Jimin is such a sweetheart. I’m gonna have to go watch the live now😢😢❤❤
This is when I realized that this was far beyond a fan to idol or celebrity relationship. Bc even with me being ARMY for a year I feel this love as well. Not a crush not a simple oh I’m so and so fan. But that I genuinely love these 7 men. Like love them.
Thanks for sharing
aww, i think i remember this live. Tearing up here. Gosh. Ty for this.
You mentioning that reminds me of the time i read this..and was a bit emotional..no wonder i love them so much & no wonder Jimin is one of my ultimate bias
Jin is the youngest in his real family and V is the oldest in his real family. I guess it makes sense that your uncle thought V is the oldest. V also change quite a lot compared to his personality in 2013/14. He is more chaotic than Jhope back then lol. This is why I love BTS so much becuase they are so human and makes me feel relatable to them.
Uncle Harley is a baby ARMY even if he doesn't realize it😊 His insight is deep and so refreshing! Thank you Max for bringing him along. He picked up on their authenticity so quickly😊
I love the way his uncle says "Maxwell!" whenever he has something to say 😂
Another great video ^^
One thing I really appreciate about Uncle Harley is how kind and positive he is about the relationship between BTS and ARMY! I’ve seen one too many people claiming to have expertise in psychology and psychoanalysing parasocial relationships in a negative light and degrading ARMYs for it. it’s a nuanced conversation of course, but it rarely warrants the kind of criticism that particularly teenage girls receive for it. So it’s really nice to see a psychologist approach this with an open and nonjudgmental mind and seeing the relationship for what it is. Thank you both for your hard work as always!
I think people leave consent out of the parasocial relationship conversation a lot. The idol/fan relationship is parasocial, but that doesn't have to be bad. I'm with you... Would love to see some scholarship about it. Maybe I should go finish my sociology PhD 🤣
@@evantesseract737 that’s true! I think the assumption is that parasocial relationships are exclusively one way (I know that not all artists care to the degree that BTS does, but still). Even the few papers that I have read on parasocial relationships that acknowledge the benefits of it, they adopt a tone of “well it’s harmful to rely on parasocial relationships for comfort and not put yourself out there” - as if fans are just overeager puppets trailing after their idols throwing out crumbs. It’s a dehumanising assumption that I wish got challenged more in academia. (Sorry for nerding out hahah, fellow sociology student here starting my master’s in the fall. Wishing you all the luck with your ph.d. that’s so exciting!)
@@acesquare30 I've seen a couple good papers on the army/bts relationship, I think the Rhizomatic archive has some :)
@@acesquare30 true because we would also feel if the guys or the label for that matter was not thinking of us and think of themself and money all the time. there has been so many cases where the staff is doing things to help army but also the memebers. like they did at the online concert in the pandemic.
they put up screens so fans could be there live so BTS could feel their energy because they know how hard it was for them too. they always think about us and we also feel that from the guys. i think the staff is army too
So I clicked on this, out of curiosity, because I only started listening to BTS a few months ago. Boy has my mind been opened. I didn't understand the hype, but I get it now. Anyway, short story long... NEVER thought I would sit through an hour-long reaction video, without moving from my seat, being entertained and educated. Thank you for this.
Thanks for the lovely comment :) So happy to hear! Our pleasure.
the magic of bts. they are all so so different, yet the heart of each is about the same values. their love, their dreams and their passion are three whales the legacy was built upon
Some people confuse being childlike with being childish. Taehyung is playful and has an innocence about him that he hasn’t lost, but he’s also a really mature person with a formidable inner strength. It’s a very interesting combination of traits that makes Taehyung such a complex and compelling personality.
Your uncle talking about the symbiotic relationship between bts and army warmed my heart. I thought that so many times 💜 Thank you for a great video. Absolutely love you two together 💜
G DRAGON KING ,,,
💜
I am absolutely obsessed with this duo. You both are not only insightful, observant & nuanced but also complement each other's thoughts. It's a joy to see you guys assess the human aspects of Bangtan. An effortless analysis that flows from one point to another. I can watch you two speak for hours & cannot wait for more videos in the future. Great Job Thank You :)
Thanks for the kind words :)
❤️🍀
He saw that V is mature. Most people miss that. He is mature and down to earth. He just has a problem expressing himself well sometimes. So he doesn't talk as much.
He was goofy when he was teen now he is mature as he is man ....makes sense 💜
True still some people in comments are making fun of him
In my experience Tae has language deficiency. Probably because his education was truncated. And Jungkook is worse. But his is just global lack of knowledge than language.
@@ValentineEvents What you mean his education was truncated? he literally finished his high school and graduated from department of broadcasting and entertainment at global cyber university and even received president's award .
@@ValentineEvents all of them graduated from university so explain further what you are saying
I really love your uncle’s take on how great people they are to follow. More parents and adults need to understand how much happiness and comfort they bring fans. They’re seriously the most appreciative and grateful people, and always so kind and sweet towards fans and never fail to show their love. Just overall great role models and amazing people😊
I also feel (though they'd probably be embarrassed and downplay it) that they have plenty to teach us older folks too, about working hard, thinking positively, having a grateful attitude, etc.
When your Uncle started talking about Suga wearing his emotions outwardly and being comfortable sharing his personal history I immediately thought of his latest mv release Amygdala. Uncle Harley is so on point with his assessment of each of the members and I have no doubt if he continues to get to know them he will be able to expand even more on each of their distinct personalities. I believe these unique personalities are what has allowed all of the members to maintain an appreciation for one another and a cohesiveness never seen before in the music industry as well as perhaps many familial settings.
i like that ur uncle pointed out BTS did have to put in the teamwork to be so solid as a group they are today and continuously. RM and also other members often marvel at how different each of them are from each other but yet they are able to come together so unitedly and strongly, and this for sure takes effort driven by a love for each other. RM once said they are looking at different things while on the same boat going in the same direction. SUGA said each person has its unique role n strengths n thats why they're amazing collectively. they definitely worked hard to learn about, understand each other. as with any group of humans coming together, they had arguments n times where they had to try to understand each other's diff perspectives but they learnt very well how to resolve things with one another and u can tell how intimate they understand each others' personalities, and how much they truly accept and embrace each other's unique differences.
OMG 38:11 that’s how an Army is born😂😂😂😂😂 You and your uncle are awesome! Just like your uncle now I love them too…I’m in my 40’s I started listening and watching BTS three months ago and I received my Army membership last week! I love these kids so much💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jin and RM. Now you know Jin is the oldest , he is actually the one who keeps the group in order, it is normal in Korean culture for the oldest to be in charge. So Jin occasionally chivvies the others, even RM does what he is told. RM's leadership role is more along the lines of negotiating with management and speaking in public, especially because he is the only one who speaks good English.
RM and Sugar were the first two members and I think that vision was shared and nurtured by the 2 of them.
This was a very interesting video, so thanks to the both of you
Jimin was so quiet in this video, hope you do more videos of bts when theyre all chatty 🥺💜
You went to US from Canada just to make this video for us....Imma cry fr.
Jin’s personality is so interesting how he goofs around to ease the atmosphere and don’t show his sad side to us and always thinks of a way to make us laugh.
I love your videos by the way❤️
Great to see Uncle Harley back! 🙌 He's becoming a BTS expert! love it! Looking forward to watching this reaction :)
I got teary-eyed when your uncle enthusiasticly said that he loves them personally. That made me so happy. From just 2 videos he's smitten with their wonderful personas. They have helped me so much just by how they act with each other so it makes me so happy that your uncle recognize their value.
We think of events like the Festa dinner as being for ARMY. And these events are for us, but they are also for the sake of making a bonding experience for the members. I remember times when they were assigned to write letters to each other. They all got to know more about each other and feel more connected.
Edit: And BTS is aware and values these talks. Max, you and your uncle said it very well. 48:53-49:33
Edit again: And Jin and Jimin, too!
You seem such a good person, and the sweet respectful interaction with your uncle just proves that. No wonder you both are drawn to BTS.
For me, when BTS speaks, it is therapy by proxy : they learn, I learn, they grow, I want to grow.
Keep up the good work !
15:55 “they come to their audience …” I think the history of BTS is relevant here. They signed on to a tiny indie label with no influence in the S Korean music scene. It was their own talent and hard work plus, crucially, the support of ARMY that got them some traction. They never forget that the fans brought them success. I’m 68 yo and I’ve never seen anything like this artist-fan relationship.
This video just created a warmth in my heart, and where people feel chills, I felt like a warm blanket was being draped over me. I felt safe and protected once again. I am tearing up now!!
I love the relationship you have with your uncle Harley. He seems to bring out a different side to you, a more relaxed side. I love how he calls you Maxwell and you both just seem to have a very easy going and loving relationship. It's funny because as I was watching your uncle analyse BTS, I was analysing your relationship and it comes across as very warm and comforting. You're both very lucky to have each other and I also appreciate uncle Harley's input as someone completely new to BTS and ARMY, he's very insightful and has been really on the mark most of the time! Look forward to more videos of both you reacting to BTS 😊💜
I see the same thing and honestly the way they interact reminds me of seeing younger idols with their sunbae on Suchwita. There's a very soft respect and admiration there. It's so heart-warming 💜
@Evan 에반 I agree! That's a great word to use to describe it, admiration. You can really tell he admires his uncle and there's definitely mutual respect there.
Yes, they 'regulate' themselves. I always notice this too, esp during interviews where they are by themselves without a person-interviewer. ARMYs actually wish most times they were interviewed by themselves with questions because most times the interviewers act weird or ask unrelated ridiculous questions. Good analysis, thanks Uncle and Max 💜
Thank you both for another thoughtful analysis. It was so interesting to hear your descriptions of BTS as a group reaching out to ARMY and of them as individuals. 💜
Anyone with that wisdom, experience and life knowledge is someone to listen to!! Such a great addition to your already wonderful videos!! I love the innocent and pure aspect of Uncles opinions!!!
It's absolutely right saying that following BTS worth it. Many thanks to you Max and your uncle for such a warming analysis!
I really like your communication tips, they help me a lot in my everyday life❤
love to hear that!
Your uncles first impression of suga is interesting because suga's new music video really puts his emotions and scenes from his life out there. Amazing how your uncle could analyse that so accurately from this clip!
Uncle is so on point(not surprising cause he is psychologist) when he said yoongi is comfortable sharing his stories for others. Seeing his albums and songs it's very hard to share these stories but I am very grateful for that I can gain hope and be inspired all the time. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Whenever I see/hear/think about BTS, they feel like HOME. They make me feel safe.
Hi Max and Uncle Harley, thank you for analyzing the Festa 2019 and sharing your thoughts. I especially liked how Uncle Harvey analyzed Suga's personality. I was just deep-diving into Suga's new album D-Day and what he said about Suga is reflected and demonstrated in Suga's music and lyrics. I also really like the fact that your analyses of BTS as a group, along with their interactions and communication skills, reinforces the group's uniqueness. They are truly a once in a lifetime group. Apart from the outstanding music and performances, the group's synergy and, to borrow your phrase, the symbiosis between ARMY and BTS make it nearly impossible to find a "next BTS".
Fyi, there was a time that Jin initiated so the group could take a day off to be able to get to know each other and talk heart to heart about their concerns and that moment was memorable for all of them. 💜
My fellow V-ias, Uncle Harley, has the true meaning behind V's BORAHAE intro. 🌈💜
Your uncle's the best 🥰
Suga said in their LIVE before …’we aren’t just chatty cos the cameras on …even if the cameras were off we’d probably be still chatting like this’😂
I love how you put how great BTS characters are, even Jimin was the first one I liked in terms of performance, their individual personality made me sign up and be an Army myself. They really made me happy, laugh out loud and inspired.
It’s so endearing to see you smile while watching them talk. That’s exactly what happens to all of us. They put a smile on our faces and lighten up pur hearts. They are pure love.
I love how appreciative you're to RM ,most fans sadly always overlook his hard efforts 💙
Your uncle in only two videos seems to get Taehyung a lot haha. I love it. Taehyung is so pure like a child sometimes but he is also really mature and in this settings when they are all talking he is more quiet waiting for his turn to speak so I think I know why he thought he is the oldest.
Loved this reaction, I think you two compliment each other's thoughts very well! It's very refreshing to hear an analysis from a psychological perspective alongside a communication standpoint, they go hand in hand and it gives a fuller and more thorough interpretation. Thanks for these reactions and for breaking down bts' friendship and teamwork, you're always on point!
This video genuinely makes me tear up as an older army, I’m so grateful that some people like u guys can take the time to actually try to understand BTS without judgement or preconceptions and get why we as a fandom are so attached to them as a group of artists
Thank u for this💜
Oncle doing his BTS research before the new video was just so sweet 🥹💜
Love and respect to him.
His analysis of our Bangtan was on point!!! AmaJin! And I was so happy hearing his words about BTS and when he said he loves them, i started crying 🥹💜
Greetings from Austria to you both
I am always cautious about analyzing the guys' words & actions too closely but I really appreciate these videos and conversations. Sometimes it can be hard to understand *why* we love them and cherish them so deeply. They truly are amazing 💜.
"v comes across as highly mature." "ah!.. ok. interesting?" had me dead HAHHAAHA but yes, tae as pretty mature but I guess his innocent aura and charm in general may kind of cover that fact.
I don't remember well who from the members said it(I think it was Jimin in 'Let's BTS')
but he said that V is actually the most 'down to earth' of them all !
@@bulletproof_hope yes. I literally thought about this while writing my comment. and yep itt was jimin who said that.
The one has nothing to do with the other at least not in the way you think, mature people can be funny, and they can make others smile maturity and wise words are relative and related Taehyung is both he just doesn’t go around showing off.
@@CelineV95unlike you
@@CelineV95First of all, being down to earth has nothing to do with maturity; so Jimin was NOT speaking to V’s maturity by any stretch of the imagination; and V is anything BUT reserved/quiet. I thought that was a strange assessment too - but that’s because watching them sitting and talking is far different from watching them actually ‘operate’ in their typical days. I would say, they should combine this kind of observation with watching RUN BTS. THAT’S when their personalities really show.
Secondly, V’s the one the group has always considered to be extremely emotional - up and down - and ‘wack’ (in a good way) because he does and says odd things and he’s an outside of the box thinker - we’ve seen examples of all of this in RUN BTS shows.
But I do think the this man’s assessment of V is off and it started in the last show where he called Jimin the prankster, kind of off the wall, attention-seeking guy, which actually described V to a ‘t’; I’m baffled he can make these assessment in just 2 observations.
And I’m also baffled by some of the other things that were said about some of the guys but I take these things with a grain of salt.
I'm always here for you two. Watching your interactions with each other is so heartwarming 💜
Namjoon and leadership: it's really heartening how the leaders of younger groups look up to him and base their leadership style on his. He's really respected, not just by his group, but in his whole profession.
He became the leader quite young in a company that was on the cusp of failing and with a boss that was trying to treat artists differently - including giving them more control. He was really worried that he didn't know how to lead, and he worked to learn, but he didn't have anyone to learn directly from. He figured a lot out for himself, and really felt the weight of the responsibility. He created a leadership style that I'm very glad others are emulating. He's not strict, he primarily leads by example, but when he does put his foot down you know it's important.
I'm happy to see your uncle Harley again ! He seems to enjoy BTS interconnexion as much as you. You guys, are doing an amazing job together. Also, the symbiotic relationship between BTS and Army is a true thing, and I hope it will last forever, in the same joyfull, caring, loving and motivational way.
He is our uncle, now. Sending lots of purple love for you both 💜 💜
I'm not used to seeing reactions from BTS, but this reaction is so, so genuine from you and your uncle, how he began to investigate my beautiful kings, I adore him. And yes, the relationship between Army and Bts is something so unique that very few outsiders can understand, that symbiosis has changed my life. I am 45 years old and I am a mother baby Army, but since they entered my life, I tell you that I cannot take them away from me, and I admire them very much and they give me hope in humanity, to find people like this in this increasingly degraded world, and meeting BTS and Army has enlightened my life.
There is hope in humanity, thank you BTS
This an interesting video for Suga and Jhope. All the guys, to me, seem most comfortable in situations like this when it's just them talking. This means Suga is really okay sharing more, rather than the "cold" appearance he has in other settings. It also means Jhope is more relaxed and feels less of the need to be "on" because the others don't need the hype energy for this type of video when they're all comfy already.
I think they have been doing Hobi dirty....
I keep waiting to hear his Uncle's thoughts on Hobi.
So disappointed. Even when attention was put towards Hobi they would say nothing or speak on someone else, I mean that's good of course, but geez.... stop skipping over Hobi already, please.
Would like to hear insights or thoughts about Hobi, but still getting nothing here😮💨
But I definitely like what you pointed out here about Suga and Hobi. And I'm as always I'm very happy to see the guys relaxed and just having a good time.
Is so great having Uncle Harley again!
We say that you start following them for the music but you stay for their personality and their energy and synergy and fall in love for their interactions.
I'm older than them and I learn from them every day. Their strong mind, the fact that they can say 'I love you' to each other, that they can cry, that they can say 'ey you, wow man, you're so beautiful' to a random people, or things they don't like in a sincere way, or are not afraid to laugh at themselves, that they encourage each other because they really admire each other... there is a lot we can learn! Surely there were several fights before and surely they argue to a lesser extent now because they already know each other, but all those things I said before we can see are totally genuine and teach us to look at everything in a deeper way and understand more about ourself and others .
If you see it's just them chatting, but there's so much detail to see in those interactions, so thank you for these videos, I love them!
I am literally crying while watching you guys cause you put into words all my feelings about BTS journey. Admiration from Brazilian Army.💜🇧🇷
The way you look at your uncle is beautiful. You seem to hold a lot of respect and admiration for him. ❤ So glad to see Uncle Harley back, hope to see more.
My favorite type of video 💜
BTS have been under the spotlight since they were teens so they’re very comfortable being on camera
I love the fact your uncle researched them. Thank you for sharing your impressions of BTS
this video really made me so much emotional . i missed seeing bts together. truly appreciate you and your uncle for beautiful words
I really need more videos with your uncle reacting to Bangtan. Such a great time to watch u, guys! Borahae
I love your uncle's thoughts about V and other members💜 I loved this video. Ignore the negative comments fam✌
Wow, just stumbled upon this video and truly, I am glad to hear your insightful and delightful views on each of the members individually, how one and united they are as a group and their love and gratitude towards each other and the Armys. Truly good role models for today's generation! 💖
Once again I really loved this reaction - thank you so much! It is so nice to see someone new being introduced to BTS and they just get it. Thank you Uncle Harley for understanding how special our boys are. I loved the things you said about the relationship between the group but also the relationship between BTS and Army - you got it spot on how much we love and support each other - BTS and Army just fit together. I really hope you guys do more reactions like this - Borahae! 💜
Absolutely loved this reaction thank you :)
really fascinating to be in on this conversation -- to hear this breakdown of what army knows in their gut: why character and gratefulness are so essential to what makes bts such a life-enhancing group ... but on top of that, the quality of their craft: music, dance, performance, vocals, message, lyrics, visuals -- sometimes to step back and appreciate all these things bts has going for them is overwhelming and something people outside of the fandom just can't comprehend/don't believe ... i am forever grateful for these beautiful humans who save me every day
I like hearing uncle harley say "maxwell..." 😂😂😂 and can't wait hearing what he say next
to bad you both live far apart because you also have a natural bonding it looks like you both like to be around each other and learn from each other there is a lot of respect . your uncle seems like a very nice guy
This was really great. BTW, Suga has now used this traits of him to launch 슈쥐타 witch essentially is a talkshow with guest, but still very different from the ordinary ones on TV. The way you see them act and behave and being role models have made ARMYS wanting to do better for themselves and those around them. As a fan base they are the best. They have even saved lives. And uncle Harley notecing how this could come around without even knowing is just awesome. Welcome to the ARMY uncle 💜
awww uncle HARLEY doing his own research about purple hearts is just sooo cute I love it🥺🥺💜💜 thank you for making this video with him coz I really really wanted to see him talking about what he thinks of BTS and it's visible that uncle Harley is very much interested in our boys I'm thankful that you made this video, it's soo nice to see him💜💜💜
Wish I had an open-minded family like Uncle Harley! Thank you for the analysis, I am a university student and my sub-major is psychology so this content makes more sense to me.
Thank you Max and Uncle Harley for another fun analysis! And how cool is it that uncle is doing his own research on the boys!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
YOUR UNCLE IS A LOVE EVERY NEW GENERATION NEEDS A SUPPORT SYSTEM LIKE HIM IF THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THE GENERATION GAP AND THANKS FOR THIS LOVE LOVE BTS.
MAN I really enjoyed this and I didn't feel it was almost an hour video ! I love watching how you communicate with your uncle and how you listen to him, it feels like you guys are friends , I find the way he calls your name when he speaks very engaging and sweet .. I really do learn alot from you and him
The videos of you and your uncle are rapidly becoming a favourite to watch. The way your uncle is spot on...wow. and I admire the loving way you two talk about our guys 💜💜💜 Borahae.
Your uncle is correct in a way. V had explained what the color purple meant. He had said that the color purple means that I will trust and love you forever.He also came up with the phrase Boranhae to go with it. That is why they associate Army with the color purple. They always give everything into their performances. And always try yo interact with their fans, whether it's through a Weverse Live or through the messages that they post. I know a lot of Armies are missing the members right now, Especially Jin and J-hope as they are fulfilling their mandatory military service. But also think it gives them all a chance to reflect on who they are and what they mean to so many people. They are all so talented and even if there is a language barrier, It still amazes me that they can write and make such wonderful music. I know a few years back that they had actually thought about disbanding, I am so very glad that they didn't.
He got pretty close. 😁 I think what V was getting at with the "last color" thing is something along the lines of "I'll love you until the end of the rainbow." We'll go through all the colors together. So that gets us to borahae the way we all use it now.
He wasn't all that clear at connecting the last color part to the love and trust you for a long time part, so a variety of interpretations are possible 💜
I actually liked Uncle Harley's interpretation even though it's not what V said. It would fit!
@@evantesseract737
you can check his full explanation of the color on "let's BTS" interview, he talked about it in detail 💜
Uncle Harley said it exactly as Tae said it in that interview
@@MrKaibaoh ooooh I must have missed that, or forgotten! Thank you 💜
Your uncle captures exactly how I feel about these guys, and I think why all Army's genuinely love and care for their wellbeing. Your uncles love for these guys will only grow each time he watches them, we should all aspire to be a little more like BTS with our own family and friends.
Yay Uncle Harley and Max! Thanks for another great reaction. Again, we have learned a lot about the Tannies, their personalities and communication skills which we could apply to our selves in our daily lives. Appreciate what you guys are doing. Borahae!!
Thank you Harley and Max for your deep insight! I've always felt that BTS are good people to follow because they are inspiring, grateful and sincere. But having it heard from another people (professionals at that with unbiased pov) has made me feel even more grateful that I get to know and follow all of them. Also, I learned more about BTS once again! I love these guys😭💜
I really love your chemistry 😂❤
I liked how you knew each member and seems study them, this makes you get to like them more(as a person and as an artist).. Like what Suga said, once you see them or get to know them, there's no way out..Thanks for some wholesome reactions/content..
About Jungkook--one thing I've noticed is that here and there in various interviews he will say things that demonstrate he feels he is not worthy of love, just for who he is. So his comment about how JK of BTS shines but as just himself he is insignificant--this to me, when put together with the other things I've heard, is an indication that the reason he works so hard is because he really does think he has to earn (be worthy of) love from people. I think he's concerned about what he would be without BTS--and if he would still be loved.
I found that when I watched his recent solo work (I'm thinking mostly Dubai) there is a self-consciousness that conveys these fears that he is unworthy. There's a subtle roll forward of his shoulders in how he holds himself; he looks down a lot. This seems different than when he does solo things in a concert with BTS. He's braver with them. I think he loves the attention, thrives on it, needs it in a deeply unconscious way--one of the reasons for his recent late night unexpected VLives (when I see him on late at night like that I think, poor baby--he's lonely tonight). But he doesn't seem to like being on his own.
I'm definitely a JK bias, but old enough to be his mom, and this is the one thing that really brings out the mama bear in me. I pray for him too--that he would come to know that he is worthy of love just for being himself, not for being the "golden maknae."
Yes I agree w/you about JK, but I wish for Him someday to realise that He's got a natural talent & He's so amazing & that there's fans & JK biases that will love & support Him until the end... btw i'm a 60 yr. old grandma & a JK bias💜💜💜
You nailed it I also have always noticed the same about him especially in their documentaries. I believe he's getting more confident tho, seeing how he finally starts setting more boundaries with the weirdo fans now.
@PianoSauce I have not heard that song! Thanks for pointing me to it.
Ooooooh, wow. Wow. For anyone else who has not heard that: ruclips.net/video/DkGH5lA9QXY/видео.html
@PianoSauce I did! Twice! Made me want to cry. That is the most heart-tugging vocal I've heard from him since "Stay Alive"
Thank you Uncle Harley and Max
Thank you sir for sharing your thoughts. I was really impressed and grateful. Especially when he mentioned the "symbiotic relationship". I've heard that before and I just feel like it's such a fitting way to describe Bangtan and ARMYs relationship. I can't count how many times BTS has made me want to do better.
I love uncles insight. Thank you so much for this. I look forward to more ❤
Oh i love it! Thank you 💜 max seems so happy:)
I loved that he was able to see how sensitive Suga is even though he shows a tougher exterior sometimes. I'm so proud of how far he's come in dealing with his mental health. He's so strong and brave. It was lovely to hear a psychologist speak about him in that way when so many people often label him as cold or unfeeling. Army knows his true self isn't that at all.
I am watching the video and I’m genuinely enjoying this conversation between you and your uncle, also how well he is describing our Bangtan 7 and adding new information about their personalities from his perspective as a psychologist. I loved that he is back! I love this reaction! I can’t wait for more
I love how spontaneous, innocent, and on point Max and uncle’s analysis are. I hope we can get to watch more of these reaction videos. It is so refreshing. My favorites in one frame, I mean BTS and psychology (human behavior) 💜💜💜
your uncle is very nice. you two give off similar vibes/talk similarly. you speak clearly, don't talk fast, and explain your points calmly. and it seems like you too have a great relationship. i guess that's why, besides your jobs, this video and the other one with him turned out so well.
harley doing his own research on bts was very sweet and wholesome. would love to see more of the two of you in other videos!
The interaction and bond between you and your uncle is something so beautiful to watch, such a lovely, smart and real people. So glad that you guys making this video with BTS 💜💜
