its interesting what you said about Jungkooks curiosity. as fans, we often joke that this is Jungkook's first life (meaning he has never been reincarnated) because he is always so curious and surprised and amazed by people and things around him. :)

Jung Kook is usually very fidgety in interviews; jigging his legs, putting his head from side to side etc. The fact that he was so calm in his manner in this interview shows how important he felt it was and I feel really demonstrates his respect for Jin, in that his whole concentration had to be on him.

Jungkook and jin are really close they have a unique relationship and I love how jk is always comfortable around jin and vice versa they are my favorite duo in bts

"Jin is ready to make a joke at any point." Periodt.

Jin & Jungkook are very close. You have to consider how young Jungkook was when they met, he was 13 & in middle school. Jin was the oldest & 18 at the time. He has talked about when he first met Jungkook & walking in room & being struck by how young he was & his big doe eyes. I honestly think Jin saw it as his responsibility early on as the oldest to take care of Jungkook. JK has said that before they debuted he thought about going home because he was homesick. He credited Jin for being the one to make him enjoy living in Seoul. He said he took him around & showed him the city & would bring him to his family dinners when he missed his own family. He said he treated him like a real brother. They joke around & play fight a ton like real brothers. But they are also extremely supportive of each other & Jin has always been very protective of him. Jungkook is an introvert & he used to be really shy. Jin & Tae both have always pushed him to the front & encouraged him to speak. Jin will often tell the other members to let Jungkook talk if they interrupt him or ask Jungkook what he thinks when they are discussing something & he is not speaking up. And JK is always bragging on Jin’s voice & his songs. I think they both have great respect for each other. RM has said before that Jin & Jungkook could not live without each other.

When JK looked down at 2:49 it actually was a cultural thing as Jin is older than JK, JK is in turn very respectful towards Jin like when shaking his hand and doing a small bow/looking down or when drinking you turn away from people older than you so yea it's a cultural thing.

Just want to give some more context for some stuff Yea Jin is very humble, but he also struggles with impostor syndrome. He has expressed this in songs(awake,abyss..) and interviews. Also during this he was just coming out/ dealing with burn out and depression (Which he expressed in his solo song Abyss) which they talked about in this too. The sub said "i was very under the weather" but the actual translation is closer to "i was feeling very depressed" Jin said in this interview he thinks his voice isnt that emotional or has trouble delivering powerful emotions, which is def a contradiction to how everyone who listens to his voice sees him because hes been consistently described as the most emotive singer in bts both by fan, professionals and critics.. Jungkook is for sure the member Jin is the most comfortable with, or at least it seems like that to me.

Jungkook is actually very energetic and lively, but he takes his job very seriously and also has great respect for his members. So he took great care in this interview to really try to have jin open up about his creative process, I think that’s why he didn’t try to make a lot of jokes or stray too far from the topic

There’s no one that Jin loves more than jungkook… bc Jin loved to play stoking and jk will play around with him.. they’re always joking around and have so many inside jokes it makes your head spin lol but yeh there’s so much to love about each and every single one of these guys… they’re so special. It would be cool for you to see one of jungkooks livestreams and kinda analyze it

Jin downplays his abilities a lot . I feel that JK did not want that to happen in this interview, especially at that time Jin was going through a depression. He wanted to highlight all his talents and skills.

Jin and JK relationship hits different. There’s something about their bond that makes you feel happy and jealous at the same time. You are hoping somehow you also have that someone in your life. Really love these duo. 💜

Jin's social skills and emotional intelligence are incredible. He's such a star, oozing charisma, yet he's also genuine and real. What a guy.

The best comment ive hear is .,"They Love each other,.they love each other.,, and i love them dearly❤️

I don't know if you know but Jin REALLY took on that role of a big brother ( for all the guys but mostly for Jk who was just 14 years old at the time). Jin used to cook for Jk and take him to school so Jungkook wouldn't miss having that parental figure in his life and want to quit and go back home . The most impressive things for me are one that Jin is the youngest in his family but he does such a good job as the oldest which makes me believe warmth and tenderness are in his nature and second, the way Jk turned out so well even after growing up in the spotlight, you'd figure that would mess someone up pretty bad.

I think Jin out of all the members downplays he’s skills the most. I think it’s because he started out late singing and dancing. Vocal critics praise him alll the time, the Grammys called him silver vocalist and so on. Along with jungkook he’s my favourite vocalist. Seeing bts character and how humble they r make me love them more. Can u do jhope and taehyungs interviews next that’s a really good one.

At their recent comeback show they were continuously playing and bickering with each other and namjoon said "even though they are like this they cant live without each other" and i think that perfectly encapsulates their relation😆❤️

because of his personality, some ppl would portray him as a dumb and a person who just jokes a lot. but when u said that he is attentive and would like to think things deeply, that's actually true and an underrated fact. he had even partaken in the brilliant concepts in some of their comebacks. he's an intelligent man, but he doesn't show it that much. he wants people to find it out themselves

Jin and jungkook has the perfect friendship every one want

Jin is a really talented artist, he has got the widest range in bts and is the most powerful belter in the group, he is given the nickname “silver voice” by Grammy pannel critique, his song ranked 5 in rolling stone best boyband song of all time list, with him being the highest Asian ranking. Despite all these achievements and more, he still remains really humble, he has some sort of imposter syndrome where he always tries to downplay his talent. Jin literally can’t stand serious atmosphere and always tries to joke in such situations so jk tried really hard here to make Jin open up and not just get away without genuine answers lol Jk and Jin are super close, they are really like brothers, Jin is super close with jk’s older brother also lol

When you said, "These guys love each other" you could not be more assertive. Jin and JK have a very special bond with each other. They are a duo that goes beyond the group, they are connected by their ideals and values, and they share something very special, none of them relate to the other members, in the way, in which they do with each other. For me they are the safe place of the other. In fact, RM recently said that they can't live without each other. we all love jinkook

It is a well known fact that all BTS memberes share a beatiful bond between each other.....And for Jin and JK it's simply the best bond that anyone could ever ask for in my perspective....The comfortablness these two have among each other is rare to see specailly in Korea where you prioritize age hierarchy ....Jin and JK grew up together.....This interview is a rare type of interaction between Jin and JK ....Usually us fans are used to seeing these two being silly and playing together or goofing around.....But as a fan who has been with BTS for a while now and as a fan who has been attentive about these two as they are my biases I have always seen that these two were the closest in the group....It might differ in somone elses eyes but recently I've seen many fans agreeing with this.....The members are well aware of this fact as well.....(Tae:The oldest and youngest in our group share a beautiful bond)Jin and JK are each others emotional support and strength, although JK loves all his hyungs a lot he definitely enjoys being with Jin a lot when things are tough for him and as for Jin it's a fact that he always feels more comfortable with Kookie....So I just wish for their bond to last forever.....As RM(BTS member) did say that Jin and JK can't live without each other.....💖💖💜🤗

I remember, we got really mad at Jin for underestimating himself like that. I mean, just listen to songs like Epiphany, Abyss, Yours, The Truth Untold, and you can see how emotional and powerful his voice is. It's interesting how he's managed, over the years, to build up his self-confidence, but sometimes he falls back into old habits. Thanks for the reaction! Oh, and Jin's relationship with JK is so beautiful, they are very close brothers

Jungkook’s deep respect and love for his older brother really came through in this interview. He also showed his maturity and musical knowledge in his questions and comments. I loved seeing the genuine bond between these two. 💜

Jin has always expressed his love towards Jk and the other way round has always been so remarkable. Jin’s priority. Yes. This love is another level from my perspective. Thanks for reacting to them💕💕💕

in a part of the video, they actually call each other 자기야 which is a term of enderment, like saying honey or darling. they're bond is really just so precious.

These 2, aside from Jimin and Tae probably are closest in the group.Yes, all 7 are extremely close and have their own dynamics but multiple members have said that Jin and JK are extremely close/ can't leave without each other/ have a special bond etc.and it's very evident in their interactions.Together they're chaotic yet extremely caring towards each other.

I knew these guys more than myself but still I'm addicted to your reacts🤌

I adore Jin and Jungkook's relationship with each other. Although usually they are way sillier when together. They are like partners in crime and always get ridiculous together. They are the ones most likely to be play fighting each other...poking, pinching, kicking, leaning on each other, lol. They were messing with each other recently during a live recording and RM said they're always fighting but they can't live without each other, lol.

As to your comment about BTS knowing themselves, at 58yo I discovered these guys in the darkest time in my life. I listened to their lyrics and watched how they try to live what they sing. Now 60, I'm the happiest I've ever been, I know my worth and know I'm a person who can be loved. I really enjoy your insight💜🇦🇺

These two are the closest among all.There is a special bond between these two no doubt. The eldest and youngest have each other's comfort. They both have no formalities in between them. Best duo

Wonderful analysis, thank you! You're astute in reading how much these two respect and love each other. JK was such a good interviewer for Jin - attentive, laser-focused, prodding when he needed to and endlessly complimenting Jin. The ceaseless handshakes were a good way to physically connect, whether in a playful way or just an excuse to touch. Jin is such a self-deprecating person. It doesn't feel like false humility either. I believe his conviction that he "lacks" is what fuels his need to work hard and keep his head down. Hopefully he now realises this isn't sustainable in the long run and will only burn him out. On another note it's funny to me how the fans are shocked with how these two are able to sit and have a conversation without "bickering and fighting". Newsflash: if you pay attention and consume original content and not YT compilations of "Jinkook are Tom and Jerry XD", they have always been caring and thoughtful towards each other. They each seem to know just what the other needs at the moment, providing laughter, comfort or even silence. They're not especially showy and they don't pander to fan service, but if you're observant enough, it's plain to see. Their relationship is not one-dimensional and is a joy to observe. We should be so grateful they share these parts of themselves with us.

Jungkook is such a supportive and protective person. He doesn't like any of the members being unhappy. I notice that he adjusts himself to each member's needs in his interactions with each of them. He's very caring, helpful and humble ❤️

The most eye contact Jin shares ever is with Jungkook, he makes him comfortable in a way most people can’t, which is why no one but Jungkook could have been picked to interview him. Similarish for Jungkook when it comes to task of interviewing someone, as he never feels pressure with Jin and gets strength from him. Absolutely not saying Jungkook is pressured by other members but there’s a bit of hero worship with some, a more fatherly dynamic with others and playfulness of different kind that would have derailed Jungkook from interviewing.

Jinkook...they just really love each other...❤

Jk was the whole interview reaffirming and trying to bring up seokjin because that was dark times for Seokjin. That was January or February on 2021. Seokjinnie was a bit down in that times.

I love Jin and Jungkook's brotherhood. They absolutely adore each other; it's pure. Although Jin loves joking and making mischief, I suspect he is very supportive and comforting in private. There is this quiet authority about him. There's a quote that says, "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." If we look at the people surrounding JK from a very young age, it's no surprise he became a superstar and an insightful human being.

Jin really doesn't think very highly of his own abilities. He says that hes not discontent with himself and I believe that but I also don't think he's confident ih his skills either. For instance he says that his voice doesn't convey emotion very well and isn't good in powerful music, but that's utter bs. His voice is one of the most emotional out of the group and his ability to convey emotions through it is something many in the fandom have noticed, especially on their Japanese tracks. His voice is also well suited for songs in the rock genre. Dionysus for example exemplifies how perfectly matched his voice is for rock.

These two have the perfect relationship. They highly respect each other, have the same sense of humor and care for one another .

He is he because of his 6 hyungs,he is a person with heart,hyungs helped his lonely self alot,and he never took it for granted.only with his talents he can't survive

the dynamics of jin and jungkook could be my favorite in bts. they're just so close and the love and respect always oozes, mixed with the great brotherhood.

I'm really looking forward to Jin's solo work! 💜

Always love finding out more about Jin. He's still such a mystery to me. I've been a fan for years and there's still things I'm finding out about him because he's so closed off and likes to keep his thoughts and emotions private. Jungkook brings out a side in him that I find so interesting

Jin and JK have some special bond, Actually they all have a different but special relationship. You'll notice more how these two appreciate each other while bickering like Tom and Jerry, like I swear you look away from them for one second and they start literally kicking each other 😂 Love your reaction as always, I noticed new things thanks to you as well 💜

You're really spot on about what we see about Jungkook's personality. He's has shown been really curious, open minded and always looking for the positive in everything and everyone.

the guys did point out (i think it was during their saipan trip) that jungkook is a good listener and it's comfortable to share things with him when they struggle or have down thoughts, because he mostly listens and doesn't judge. so yeah i think he would be an amazing interviewer.

Jin and JK are my favorite duo in BTS. You put any two members together and they will have a special relationship, but Jin and JK are the closest to true siblings, in my opinion. They are a little playful with each other in this interview, but kept it mostly serious. They often play-bicker and play-fight/box each other. You can see the love and admiration they have for each other in their sibling-like teasing.

Jin and Jungkook are the most chaotic duo in the group 😂 Jungkook is so pure and no doubts the members had a lot of influence on him, he respects and loves them. He never sits still in interviews but here, you can see how important it was to him. It hurts me how much of a pressure Jin puts on himself to almost never show, when he's not feeling well and doubts his skills.

You really nail their personalities. I’ve always felt JK is curious and wants to learn, push the boundaries, ie open minded like you said.

for my personal experience, jin and jk are the most sibling like duo in bts they're exactly like my brother and I, joking in about 80% of all conversations, but on that 20% is the person who supports you the most in the world

All of BTS has taken the time to really understand one another and create a love language that is unique to each individual member. All of the pairings in BTS have a special bond that is unlike the others. Even though they themselves can acknowledge that certain pairings are less common, their whole lives together have been learning how to be the strengths to the others weaknesses and building each other up and bringing out the best in one another. Which is why I think you could put any two, three, four, etc. of them alone and they wouldn't be uncomfortable with each other. In my opinion, Jin is the best at this with Jimin being a close second. He always has that teasing nature about him, but he changes in almost every other way to suit the member he is with. It reminds me of a mother bonding with her children and understanding that they are all different and have different needs. With JK, he is Jin's baby brother and they behave the closest to actual blood brothers.

Jin and Jk really have a special bond they always make me soft🤍

Jungkook bringing some more force into that comment about how Jin is also gifted is an important moment! It's not just a compliment. Jin doubts himself as a singer, and JK is stepping outside his little brother role and into his main vocalist one every time he tells Jin he's a good singer. He's incredibly familiar with everyone's vocal abilities, that's part of his job. But in that moment, he pushes harder - essentially claims some authority - and softens it up by calling him Jin-ssi. It's respectful and leaning towards their professional rather than personal relationship but still very firm. That's my read anyway. My heart jumped when he said it like that. I'm sure Jin needed to hear it. People used to be very cruel to him about his voice and like many people chosen for their looks, he's often heard that he's just a pretty face. He works hard and accomplishes so much, but the way people react to several of the others tends to overshadow him. Love your insights!

I think knowing who you truly are and being honest about it is actually true humility. To not acknowledge a talent you possess is not humility and to exaggerate it is not humility. It’s cool to see Jin do that here- he acknowledges but doesn’t exaggerate 💜

Jin often downplays himself, which is a funny dichotomy given he's also the one who will jokingly say really confident things. I feel like the other members often have to head off his self-deprecating ways. In one of their recent concerts Jin was deflecting a compliment from JHope and V got up and walked all the way across the stage to bonk him and make him stop, heh.

Jin and Jk have a special relationship. Their bond is not like brotherly and especially not mom and son. If you knew you knew.😁

"these guys love each other" oh man if you only knew... they adore each other, they're attached at the hip

I can’t recommend the conversation between Jimin and Namjoon enough, from this same series of interviews 🙏🙏💜

JINKOOK MY FAV tho it made me think of a favourite moment with namjoon and jimins interview, where he says 'oh yeah our youngest-' 'jungkook?' 'no the real/fake youngest' 'ah, seokjin' they are at opposite ends of the hierarchy in terms of age and authority, but made more equal by jins ability to joke and ease others. and their friendship and respect for each other really shines here. usually jk would be fiddling and jiggling all over the place in interviews but he focuses here, and seokjin reciprocates by joking but still seriously answering his questions

The purest bond and they're giving off closest duo vibes

That’s what amazes me the most when they serious they are so Humble. I think the Korean culture, has a beautiful way of expressing respect when a conversation become important. I believe as individuals or as a group there music alway has a message. This is when they all become serious.❤️🍀❤️🍀

I have to admit that I´m not an ARMY, only a Jk´s fan, but I really can see real appreciation in Jk and Jin. Jk seems very comfortable with him and they love teasing each other.

I love their love and respect for each other

ilove jin and jungkook they are always my fv dou for BTS they are so sweet and comfortable for each other they are so endearing and so special to me💋💯❤

These two will always hold a special spot in my heart. They make me the happiest in the most simple ways.

Soulmates 💕 their bond is so cute

another level JK💜⚘💜

Jungkook is amazing, i love his personality and talent

Jin and Jungkook have an amazing relationship. You should check out "jinkook moments i thinl about a lot" to get to know and see more of their friendship

i totally LOVE these interviews they did with one another. it's really amazing to see them getting asked good questions, plus they have an interviewer who is actually interested in what they're saying!

i love jungkook and jin they are like really brothers. Thank you for your reaction i like it!

This is such a great reaction! I love this set of interviews. You get a closer look at each member's musical process and communication skills, each effective in various ways. The one-on-one setting provides a more casual and comfortable atmosphere, especially for Jin and JK. I appreciate that you pointed out how Jin always makes the mood lighter, and you can tell he and JK are very close. Their bond is admirable, especially with Jin being so responsive to JK's great questions. I love that JK kept praising Jin's voice. He deserves that, his voice is so soothing and emotional!

Jungkook born performer 💜😍

This duo is very powerful! Mind if you react to their, Jin and Jungkook chemistry compilation scenes? and other members as well?

they love each other so so much, their relationship it's really hearthwarming. These two are like true brothers

Please watch the version of this where Jhope is interviewing Jungkook! I'd love for you to get to know JK better! 💜 Also it'll be funny to see your reaction to his body language while he's being interviewed compared to this video, he is very fidgety, it's endearing

JINKOOK MY MOST FAVE PAIR 💜💜💜

I love this duo! The eldest in the group with the youngest and they are so close to each other. Kookie likes to tease Jin A LOT as well, they keep bickering and it’s hilarious and cute to watch 💜

Thanks for calling out that Jin acknowledges that he’s gifted in his own way. It must be difficult to be perceived as “less than” because the public is comparing you to geniuses. Jin’s voice is amazing but I think he compares himself to the collected gifts of the entire group and finds himself short. I imagine it was a long process for him to value himself more. He seems to still have challenges with that. I love in one of the festas that he rates himself higher by giving himself a bonus for his effort. That really resonated with me. Sometimes I focus too much on falling short of expectations instead of valuing the fact that I was brave enough to try.

Keen self awareness. BTS are special this way.

Ah, I love JIn (he's my bias) and it's so nice to see Jung Kook genuinely curious about his approach toward music - I get the feeling this is not something Jin opens up about very often but he will with Jung Kook in this more intimate setting because he thinks it will be helpful for Jung Kook to know. Jin was right - he's rarely given the chance to showcase his skills in the group songs. Not because he can't sing - damn, he can sing - but because his voice is used more as support for the others. Jimin and V always catch attention (being very high and low, respectively) while Jung Kook is the central voice of most of their songs. And back in their early days, a lot of their songs were very hip-hop and that's not really Jin's best style. On top of that, he had absolutely no training in singing or dancing when he joined BTS (and he is the oldest) so he had a ton of catching up to do but you can notice that he's in the background of all the dance choreo because dancing isn't his forte (he's gotten much better over the years of course). He didn't deflect or joke around nearly as much as he usually does, and I think that's due to Jung Kook really conveying how much he wants to know more and understand how Jin feels about music and his role in BTS. Even if Jin isn't the "star", he's the foundation for all of them in many ways and I think he tries very hard to keep everyone on a positive level, even when he'd rather lock himself in a room and game alone for 20 hours, lol. He's very much the supportive older brother who leads by example without being overbearing - even when he scolds them, he makes it funny most of the time. And it's interesting when you know that, in his own family, Jin was the younger brother and felt very overshadowed, not as good. He's careful to make sure he doesn't make his brothers in BTS feel that way. And they appreciate it, its very clear.

When you commented on how much JK loves all his older brothers, it reminded me of JK's song "Begin" which he wrote about his hyungs. Check it out.

These two are really comfortable with each other I love their chemistry Can u plzz react to jhope interviewing jungkook next and alll the other interviews I would really love to hear your thoughts u can also watch you quiz on the block interview parts

Max, you make it much easier to follow the flow of conversations. Thank you

Jinkook is so cute.

This is what I've been waiting for to see you react to the members in smaller groups or one on one so you can see how each member brings out a different side of each other.

It's very much a Sagittarius trait to be self deprecating and crack jokes. Most of us don't like being the center of attention. Your right about the joking..the more we joke and tease you the more comfortable we are.

Thanks for more one bts video!!! Please do more because we loveeee 💜

You hit it right on the nail! One of the reasons why we love BTS is because of their humility. I think the whole fandom would agree with this statement. And we know this to be true because of how much they expose their lives to us and their authenticity with us. I feel like such a proud momma bear to these 7 boys!

Thanks for this, Max! They're a neat pair.

About the not looking in the eyes while shaking hands, I'm not Korean but still an Asian, from what I know, it's part of our culture yes. It just doesn't feel comfortable looking in our elders' eyes while greeting them because it feels rude. Usually I shake hands with my elders while bowing a little. It's just instinctual at this point really

Thank you so much for this video. I really love how you explain things. Your way of commenting is very good and accurate. I also love your side comments on predicting the next scene that's so cute you look like you've known them for a long time. More power to you 🤗

I enjoy your commentary, as always. These one-on-one interviews give you a really deeper and fascinating look at each of them, don't they? I get the feeling Jin is very insecure about his skills. After all, he was initially recruited as an actor and didn't have any background in singing, dancing, or rapping, while the others were recruited for one of these skills. Of course, the fact that he made the cut to become a member of BTS proves that he'd become skilled in singing. Other members always comment that he has improved the most among them, especially for live performances. Whenever he shows this insecurity, the other members always try to lift him up. I remember off the top of my head two times V scolded him for it, telling him to never look down on himself. In their recent LV concert, when Jin apologized for being a burden because he injured his hand, V gave him a kick in the butt (literally!) and said he was not a burden.

I wondered if you could maybe react to a BTS concert. Because the setting is so special and unique I would be really interested in what you'd have to say. And their speeches are always worthy to be checked out.

Thank you for this Video ..you're right they love each other unconditionally ..

Max, please, please have a look at Jungkook's bday welive. Jin was there. Would be interesting to see what you think. You will see that "they love each other" yes, but.. The sincerety of what they were saying, etc., cause a lot of the stuff Jin says doesn't add up there. 😉

Thank u for your reaction

I love their bond so much, thank u for This :)

I think Junkook has mastered the state of contentment and as a result he experiences joy instead of anxiety. Gosh. Life goals right?

Plsse do these of all the boys!!! They are all such amazing interviews
