Anyone here watch my original first reaction??
I did, it’s great your revisiting now that you have a better understanding. What’s interesting was seeing the body language and posture of the daegu boys - Yaehyung & Yoongi. They look like bookends having the same expressions and postures compared with the others. It just made me laugh.
Yes I did❤
I'm here since day 1😎
This!!!
It’s great to see how much you’ve grown in your understanding of them! Thank you for taking the time!
saying hobi was the youngest definitely brought back flashbacks from being a baby army 😭 i couldn’t believe it when i found out namjoon was younger than jin!
The bookend of the daegu boys (tae & Yoongi) crack me up. They are matching body language and posture is so interesting, especially as they tend to be very direct and have a dry sense of humour and would shut you down if they don’t like what someone is saying.
Yup
I've always said, if a person is not respectful, caring, loving and patient, then its not an ARMY, because those are the values BTS shows to their fans and thats the way we behave, people can be anyway they want to and be a fan of BTS but they are not ARMY. I'm saying it because some comments are so innecesary rude and I 've never seen any of the members being like that, they are smart and so assertive that we ARMY love them and admire them and want to be like them in those aspects.
Completely agree 🙏🏼💜
I was ripped to shreds by my social media tribe. They were contemporaries I had deliberately chosen because they were like-minded. I had followed those people, and they had followed me back, because we are fascinated and empowered by the social activism of BTSxARMY as a global phenomenon. Everyone is fiercely protective of BTS from racists and xenophobes, and that passion can be dangerous.
I wrote one very easy to misinterpret post. The "mature" and academically inclined big accounts wrote literal educational essays on why I was horrible - not just as ARMY, but as a human - and the greater conversation took shots at my intelligence, morality, education, mental illness, and ADHD. Their righteousness named me the enemy despite all previous counter evidence. No one thought twice about throwing me to the rabid wolves who followed the cancel party train to send me death "suggestions" and dox threats. When I tried to explain, I was called a liar and attention seeker and blocked. Two people out of hundreds bothered to ask me what I meant in the post, and they were harassed, as well. (When I'm with unknown ARMY, I can't help but imagine that there could be someone in the crowd who hates me. I've been traumatized since that shunning, and am finally going to try EMDR therapy.)
The people who chased me off that platform never question their ARMY identities. If anything, they feel elite because they are defenders who know the "truth". They gatekeep and judge bad behavior, but are capable of horrible nastiness and rage. They may be dissecting lyrics, but they are certainly not following what they mean. "Ugh" has left the building.
I don't think we can blame this all on social media. I think this is just humanity. (Or maybe a humanity that is looking at BTSxARMY as any other religion that subjugates its followers using fear and a strata of social tiers. That's a whole other ramble.)
I'm not sure anymore if there are good or bad ARMY - or just humans who try to be kind vs those who let their inner bastards come out to play whenever they can get away with it. If we say fans are only ARMYs if they consciously work to be as good as the guys, I think there are very few of us, honestly. I'm definitely not free of rage or pettiness, but I love the guys - and the concept of the ARMY they've built - with everything I am.
@@dunninghams thank you - I appreciate that! 💜
There was good reason why we stayed with you💜. It was a respectful, genuine reaction from your professional experienced perspective. I remember my own good impression of your efforts. Lol, I'm still watching and enjoying💜🫰
•edit: 8:40 I think you've just gotten more relaxed with ARMY, trusting the responses you'll get, as well as seeing yourself as part of ARMY so you speak more confidently to friends/allies instead of "braving a minefield with professional ethics", of you know what I mean 😉, lol💜 You mention wanting to get back to more frequently speaking your thoughts rather than censoring yourself, and I just want to support and encourage that. I think you present your thoughts with respect and Army not only respects that, but you've now developed the relationship with your viewers so that your thoughts/intentions will be received (by most, lol) with respect.
I appreciate that 💜
I think the first thing that struck me about your initial reactions of BTS was how in the money you were most of the time. Also….you hit the heart of why watching reactors is so much fun. It’s totally validating especially when most people I know look at me funny when I bring up any kind of Asian content.
Part of the BTS magic is watching their vibe reverberate through the world. Fun to watch you reacting to you reacting to BTS. The circles of engagement spread outward and get bigger.
"Go easy on me, please. I'm sensitive".... Max! you are adorable!😂
I just realised we entered the fandom at the same time, your videos are one of the many I watched during my baby army eras
Same. 💜
I was there when you entered the rabbit hole and I enjoyed every reaction videos you have of BTS. You certainly get them even in your first reaction. And that is why I stayed in this journey with you.
Appreciate you!
the appeal of someone discovering an artist you love is soooo real! whenever i find a new reacting channel i always look for the first reactions and start watching from there, bc that way i can see they learning and their opinions changing, it's so satisfying!
i did the same with your channel too and then went for a little binge-watching season 🤭💜
i think you got so many things right at first and seeing how you fell for yoongi was totally relatable, his honesty was what made me love him as a person too
I saw your first reaction 3 years ago!!!! Im a Psychologist, and i Loved your reaction, because thats how I tought they were, and thats why i stayed in this channel to see your journey through this amazing group 😊
You’re in México now!!!!!! Im mexican! Welcome to our beautiful México 🎉
Thanks for sticking with me :)
Wait, whaattt?!?! Almost 3 years that I kept coming back and didn't subscribe?!?!
I was always impressed with Max analysis, they were actually quite good for somebody getting to know people for the first time.
I also always related so much to him because I was drawn to BTS the same way. The first thing I did to get to know them was not googling or searching for their music, it was searching and watching their dynamic on interviews. That's the first thing I do when I search for any celebrity. And their bond got me hooked more and more. So each comment Max made in his BTS journey felt just so right to me that I wished I could translate his videos to share with my friends.
Today's reacting was also very accurate about how I personally felt watching him all this time hahah. Well, I finally subscribed today. Better late than ever.
I found you through your One Direction reaction videos. I was so thrilled when you began discovering BTS. Through your assessment and incredible insights into BTS I felt validated in my love and respect for them as humans as well as artists. I feel that you viewed them with a truly open heart and mind and so were able to fully discover and appreciate their uniqueness. Keep sharing and growing with us. Your videos always bring a smile to my face💜
Way to go Max! I usually forget first reactions and love that you checked it out again! I remember now that I felt you were very genuine, I laughed at some of your comments and since I love Yoongi’s personality too, I probably was one of the people trying to explain 😂. You were very observant and the fact that you were unbiased made me want to see more from you with BTS. Sadly, I noticed you didn’t mention Jin. Lately I have been noticing not many reactors give Jin enough credit or time for all the hard work he did and does since he learned everything from scratch. I bet I wrote that then too! We stick with you because you are open minded and true ARMY knows not to be mean. As BTS is an example to show respect, help when we can, and you look great, 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦
Thank you for the love!
Wow...we've been through a lot ahahhaha I loved watching someone of your proffession to take on this, I loved becoming a SUGA biased kind of for the same reasons I was xD
Max you really are like a long distance friend to me, I always have a good time watching you.
That’s very cool to hear
It feels like I’ve been watching your journey of building your love for BTS for the past 3 years😁
Good job older Max! Good job! I’m so glad you did this. It seems so easy for many of us to look on our past selves with disparagement. It’s wonderful seeing you appreciating yourself. Actually, I will say, it’s VERY BTS! I purple you 🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Your first reaction to BTS was how I found your channel! I have watched you through your BTS journey! I love it! You asked how/if you've changed? - I think you've grown more confident in speaking! Please keep on reacting to BTS and other groups! xx
I remember always being surprised how well you understood them, despite not being familiar with them. Great reaction then, great reaction now. You have a perceptive mind and a great personality, Max. Much respect from Iran. 😊
It's so interesting to see a reaction to your own reaction. I like your reaction coz you always give very solid, analytical and descriptive comment about what your observed, which is different from most of the reaction video that the youtubers usually only show their emotions rather than talk much about what they're thinking. Your presentation is direct, simple, concise and clear. I'm not a native English speaker. English is kind of my third language but I can still understand your talk without subtitles and can learn from you. Thank you👍
«NCT have like a 100 members idk» he was so real for that
Wow!!! 3 years! 🎉🎉🎉I really enjoy your BTS reactions!
I found you when you reacted to a Joshua Bassett interview. I’m so glad I subscribed back then. I wasn’t ARMY until about 1.5 years ago, so I was super excited to find your BTS analyses! I’m a fan of your insight
very cool! Glad you’re here
Aww I've been an Army for 3 years now but I didn't discover your videos till about a year ago. This was such a fun video idea. I love how you said you'd probably make fun of yourself but instead you ended up complimenting yourself 😆 and so you should, you did a great job! So hilarious when you first start assessing Yoongi's behaviour. It must be so funny to look back on
I loved your reactions as soon as I discovered you and that hasn’t changed.
Thank you!
I love that this is just a video of you 1 - seeing why we like to see your videos 2 - see why we respond to your videos how we do 💜
First, I Loved your Mothers reaction to BTS. Your comments and your quest too know who they are is admirable. Your Uncle was kind . So you got me from our first meeting. As a senior, very old,respectful, SUGA, and RM,had me hooked.They we’re kids now men serving their country proudly. I watch them like you from the beginning.They have made my days, knowing that they did what few can do. They made history. Handwork, dedication, commitment,and a dream, they made it happen. Their contributions and charitable works ,for so many,along with ARMY, I was so grateful for their generosity can’t be forgotten. Thank you ,your kindness is so refreshing.❤️🍀
Max and I both coming up on now 3 year armyversary 😂 so glad you’re still with us Max - Indigo
Hi! I've watched you since your first BTS reaction and really appreciated your pointing out ways to help people communicate in their own lives. Also...in case you read this...when I first discovered them (didn't know their names) somehow I watched several interviews where Jin was quiet and I immediately dubbed him "the quiet one with no personality" OMG!! I was totally wrong...just shows you really can't judge a person from such minimal information. Also, I referred to Suga as, "the one who watches"...it took quite a while for me to discover who he was...I totally fell in love with the video where they are cheering on the students taking the yearly test...Suga was so honest and inadvertantly funny telling everyone that it doesn't matter if you do well you it's not the end for you.
happy to still be here after 3 years!
I watched your first reaction, and I loved your take on them. It was a great reaction and it was fun to see your assessment of them. This was fun to see you look back on it, it was really enjoyable. I enjoy seeing others find BTS, and I like when you can actually see their misconceptions fade away that BTS are just a generic K-pop boy band, but are young men with substance. Because who doesn’t want others to love who you love right? And there is a lot to admire about the members. Thanks for your honest reactions, they are appreciated. And yes I thought you did a really good job with your first reaction too!
You did good there. I remember being impressed by your first video. The only time my eyes tried to roll out of my skull was in a later video, when you've called Hobi a camera-hugger and wanting attention because you missed the fact that he was getting closer to read the comments😂. I laughed hard because I knew that you'll get it eventually.
lol that was my uncle
@@maxpbeaumont Aaaah, right. I was a good while ago and the memory of that got blurry. He was seeing them for the first time as well. I had a lot of fun watching him as well.
ig it's more fun for us those who were there since your first reaction to bts cause i definitely remember your first reaction to them and we've seen your journey on becoming an army, and you don't know how happy i was when you started appreciating jin and yoongi more and more then choosing yoongi as your bias same as me 😭
A big shoutout to whoever is editing your videos now. That’s maybe the biggest improvement since you started.. 👏👏❤
WHAT IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 YEARS?? DAMN 😭 WELL YOU'RE STILL ONE OF MY FAV REACTORS ❤
I have appreciated your videos from the beginning -your thoughtfulness, openness and of course your professional expertise. Thank you. Great beginning. Fun taking this journey with you. 💜
Thanks so much Gretchen!
This is so meta! 😂😂😂 I love it! You watching you! 😂 So nice of you to appreciate your previous self! I would say, you have become more comfortable on camera, and that seems to happen naturally the longer anyone spends on RUclips. It's nice to see. I have had a RUclips channel for a year now, and I am slowly becoming more comfortable on camera. There's a natural reserve at first, but eventually I think we begin to feel like our time onscreen is just like we're hanging out with friends. I'm not there yet, but I'm making progress. You have definitely made that progress! 💜
I remember watching this video and how fun it was to see your first impression of each of the boys, knowing how much more there was to discover. After all we all had our first impressions too, which changed as we came to know them, BTS as a group and their music. Your respect for and knowledge of Korean culture was appreciated too. And please don’t censor yourself - your natural instincts are always respectful and Army will appreciate analysis that shows you understand their individuality and group dynamic. In my opinion it will make your commentary more meaningful. You’ve become so credible and respected that Army will trust your well meaning intentions. Hope you’re still enjoying the ride! Best of luck! Greetings from NL 🇨🇦
Always enjoy seeing your reaction videos, Max. Yes, I saw your original first reaction video and you definitely put ARMY into "We want to teach you everything about this amazing group!" mode. 😊💜 p.s. Your giraffe is very attentive! 😉🦒
I have seen this, but it’s been a minute. I saw it when I was fairly new to BTS myself. It’s interesting to see you analyze yourself! Also on how spot on you were on a first reaction. I agree with you, this was fun!
Happy you enjoyed :)
I remember when I found your channel. It was your very first reaction to bts, and I was so happy to see a different way to react. I don't remember if I commented, but I subscribed right away and have been here since 💜
Man, watching you figure out why we like you in real-time was delightful!
Love watching you be so kind to your past self, too 💜
Oh, and you're much looser in front of the camera now. I think that's the biggest change - you're physically more relaxed and you let yourself get off topic a bit more often as well.
I love that you found yourself wanting to educate your earlier self. We give in to that urge a lot and I know it's overwhelming for newcomers but it's so FUN 😂
You're the best! I appreciate the message. Yeah - I think recently I feel a lot looser on camera. Glad you noticed.
This was such a wholesome reaction!!!! You getting things now is wonderful!
this is such a good idea i loved this!! very interesting that now you feel like you’re in our position; a lot of the time i felt like you were echoing my thoughts haha. i would love to see more videos like this, reacting to your past self!! keep it up max! 💜
Thanks!!!
I enjoyed and laughed🥰thank you! I'm waiting for more of your videos😍😍
I think it’s great that you’ve reacted to your own reaction video. We can now see how one’s perspectives have changed, etc. However, it’s even better that you’re able to laugh at or commend yourself.
I'm glad you are reacting to your first BTS reaction! I'm sure it is interesting to see how your prospective has changed.
This was so fun to watch. I rarely consistently follow reactors, might just watch one video while passing time but with you, its so different...the genuineness of the reactions plus the communication skills that we get to take away...I genuinely love watching you react to anyone. With bts reactions,its like watching it with an army friend so that's super amazing. Also I think it would be fun seeing you not hold back as well...I hope people will be respectful with your opinions even if they disagree just like you are. Anyway, I just came to say this was really fun but ended up writing too much 😂
Appreciate the comment a lot!
Amazing 🤩
Three years ago I watched your first reaction to my boys and I thought your English is hard for me, now I can watch all your reactions and I understand everything 🥺🥺
Amazing! Thank you 🙏
Damn i remember watching your reaction the day it dropped and it was great.. i was really impressed by your analysis and so i stick around.. it didn't felt like 3 years... ..
Keep doing what you do.. i love your energy.. and its fun to see you watch yourself as ARMY now.. now tiu get it why we liked your videos.. and ehy we have paragraphs to write...💜 Stay healthy
And also yourself .. i think most of the army will respect your opinions as you are one of us now
This is amazing, Max
Glad you like it!
That was fun.
You started your BTS journey not long after me .😊
And if I remember well, I was there from the start of your journey.
(But I had a different account name at that time, not being an ARMY yet .😉)
yeah you definitely improved but you were already good back then, considering you don't know them that much yet. what i find funny here is, you are sooooo red when reacting to yourself. hahaha :) nice to see you having a good time here :) 💜 please continue your channel, i learn so much from you, how you explain stuff and how empathic you can get
Yes, I watched your first reaction. This was fun.😊
I always love your videos. You were good then and you are good now. Borahae 💜
i can't believe it has already been 3 years!!
3 years in July but yeah still crazy
You really get our point of view !😄💕 thank youuuuuu sooo happy you are an Army
Good job, Max! Both then and now. 🥰
I have always appreciated your honesty, thanks for being real and respectful. I can imagine how the feedback can turn into a retaliation but know you are admirable for being true. A little SUGA inspiration maybe? Just kidding lol 😀 love your videos
living for this meta content.
Welcome to army my friend..... Nice to to see you again... Thank you
I think something about Jimin that can often get overlooked is his posture. People think it makes him look rigid or uncomfortable. I personally think it has a lot more to do with his dance training. His proper posture is demonstrated ALL the time. It's been so ingrained into his muscle memory that, he is actually comfortable. If anything, when I see him sitting slumped or off center, I wonder if he is in pain since I know he has some chronic pain issues. As someone with chronic pain myself, I'm sitting "normal" when I am comfortable. The more pain I am, the more my body starts to shift and tilt and so on.
Can i just shout out the editing on this? It's very good, effective but not over the top👏🏽
And I loved the video content well! Younger Max did a good job
I think it is great that you are now an army. We aren't that bad as everyone makes us out to be, lol😂. I started my journey in 2020 and consumed everything in about a week I could to get to know them. So I think this kind of reminds me of my first time I watched an interview of them. Lol.
Max, I think you are very honest and respectful, and that's why we stick with you. And having met your uncle and your mom, we can see you are genuine.
It’s sad that people have to watch what they say because of the “wrath” of ARMY.. I partially get it though, from both sides, but still it makes me sad that some ARMYs can come across as somewhat aggressive. Yes, we are protective of our guys but some people who call themselves ARMY, but are definately not, can be malicious and give ARMY a bad name. We love our guys. We may have a bias or two but true ARMYs love and support all 7 members.. Hating on a member or being malicious towards any member as well as reactors is not what BTS is about. This is why a lot of reactors stop reacting to BTS because of the fighting and hate in the comments and it’s so immature and unbelievable that people act like this. BTS promotes self love, acceptance and respect towards everyone and people who don’t follow this are not ARMY…
I always love your reactions, thank you 🫰🏼💜💜💜
Hi Max!! I enjoyed this and was actually wondering if you might react to other BTS interviews with Zach Sang? Particularly the three from AMAs backstage 2017, Billboard Music Awards 2018, and Billboard backstage 2019. They're all short and altogether about 18 minutes, but I find a lot of body language in it and communications that make those 3 very genuine and enjoyable and I was hoping you could help explain why/how that comes across differently. I always like your videos and your analysis so thank you!
yeah when they did their first interview with him and he asked that first really interesting question you could actually see them perk up.. especially Yoongi.
This was cool. I think you nailed Hobi!
I did get into your channel from that first reaction
Even in that reaction..You were so observant and sweet and stuff
Thank you!
@@maxpbeaumont :)
ARMY and their essays in the comments 😂 I came across your channel early in my BTS journey and I read the comments with as much interest as I watched your reaction. I learned so much about the guys' personalities from those essays.
I'm one of those essayists myself now 😂 It's true that when I watch reactors new to BTS, I just want to tell them every wonderful thing about the guys and their music. I have to restrain myself every time so that my comments don't get too long.
Lol it’s interesting how opinions kind of change once you get to know and understand them
You did good Young Max!!
you made great videos back then and you make great videos now!
i love this reaction vid . 😄😅
Dont worry we got you 💜
Borahae 💜💜💜
Yes I watched your first reaction to BTS!
amazing!
Hi, Max! Could you react to DPR Ian interview with Zach Sang too sometime? DPR Ian a.k.a. Christian Yu is a really interesting person and artist to get to know, and I find that interview so open and sincere, I think you might enjoy it too. Love your videos!! Thank you for sharing and always being such a kind human being. We appreciate you.
WE UP!!!!
i think you have developed more of an army humor now.
This was so validating
5:17
100% fuck em!!
Say what it is that you think!!
Say it respectfully, with the knowledge and acknowledgment that we don’t know everything about them, we can only judge with what we’re shown
That’s what makes your channel worthwhile - it’s not like one of those dumb body language analysis channels where they pretend to determine what someone is thinking and feeling - your channel is centered on communication!!
About what certain postures or phrases will communicate to an audience
💜
Appreciate the encouragement!
I like that epesode that your mom crying with you watching SB19 SINGING Mapa
yep i watched the first one back then and yep i wanted to write all the things but ARMYs had already ledt all the essays. i remember laughing at the 'hobi is the youngest' guess and probably verbatim said to the screen 'you have no idea' on how close they are.
you were much nicer to young max than anticipated, in the sense that being kind to our younger selves can be challenging. do you have any specific tips for communicating better with yourself like this?
Hi Max from Tahiti. I would like to know at what moment you fell for BTS? Sorry if you already answered this question. Love your channel.
Hi Max..hope u had a nice weekend...2024 is rolling by faster than we thought. Jin soon...
You look good in black ☺️❤️💕
Oh why thank you ☺️
Please react to the recent sturniolo podcast episode. It’s the science about happiness. It’s very controversial and I just want to know your view on things, because it was upsetting, to be completely honest. Love your videos! ❤️
lol everyone is telling me about this
@@maxpbeaumont haha no pressure though! I really enjoyed this video, too!
This is an interesting video to react to ur first reaction of BTS haha
I believe I watched your first reaction to BTS, it’s interesting to see this and how things have changed.
I have been following a group called Zerobaseone, they were formed last year. Would love for you to check them out as well.
This was recommended to me. Im curious on what your reaction of the boys
I love your observation and analysis. I don’t see too much difference 8:55
Hi Max, You have a lot to catch up on. 2013 to 2024. It will take you until 2025 depending on your time. I did follow you a few times. But got bored. BTS FOREVER. 😮
Probably best not to tell someone you got bored.
I think that you can see now how unconfortable they were with the tons of interviews asking about butter. They appreciate Zach, that's why they could go a little bit more there.
About you, I think that now you look much more natural, not as posing in front of a camera. In your friend's reaction, the way you used the "eye contact" with the camera, with the audience, made me feel really engaged, as if I were there too. Maybe you are using a more familiar tone with the audience too, something that reminds me of what you said about the need of being oneself, to deepen one's voice, if you want to get more engagement.
I watched the first reaction and wanted to comment not to tell you their names, but because you seemed pretty honest and open with your analyzes, but there was so much, and I wanted you to be able to say more. But also because those were difficult times, for the world, and for BTS and ARMY, and we were like looking for signals. Are they tired, are they sad, are they thinking of touring, another disc, a new contract...? I think that the timing helped you and your ARMY audience to meet.
I enjoy a lot your videos, thank you.
Oh my god 😂😂😂😂
Don’t cannibalise yourself like this man 😂😂😂😂
This is me, watching me talking about them to someone new😅
Max, I’m curious if you every listen to their music!? 😂 What’s your style of music …
Max what are you doing in Mexico?
I live down here half the year and escape the Canadian winters :)
I'm just wondering do you also listen to their music in your own time.
i do.. i have a few songs in my rotation right now
Wdym it's been 3 years 😯😯
Reaction to the starykids please
