Thank you for your sweet reaction! It was really nice to see your friend over, idk why I had a feeling she'd feel some kind of connection with vhope lol. I'd actually like to see her watch Tae on suchwita with Yoongi this time, i feel like she'll see new sides for both of them that didn't show much in this Run ep. I also would like to recommend her to listen to Tae's new album Layover, i have a feeling she'll enjoy Slow Dancing MV & For Us in particular...😊💜

Not that long ago it was official confirmed that all the members re-signed with the label. They were comfortable to make that public (because of shareholders they actually have to and it is also a matter of national interest... among other things because they represent their country to the world and because they make about 5 Billion USD to SK GDP that is - I think - about 0,5%). Namjoon posted a bit of his contract on IG. Besides that in interviews they always mention the other members and how they can't wait to be back together on stage together. I think Namjoon for Rollingstone Korea and JK on Radiohead where the last to do so but they all do this. I think they are pretty big: - recording artist of the year globally in 2020 & 2021 + second in 2022 (IFPI) - 3 UNGA speeches (the first one is especially good) with a performance in the UN headquarter and diplomatic passports at the third - their speech at the White House presshall and invitation to the Oval office for discussing Asian inclusion and representation and addressing anti-Asian hate crimes and disinformation - quiet a few world records actually - selling out stuff like fabric softener, cars, high fashion & jewelry for top brands - being on the "The Legacy Makers 100" list by The Legacy Lab, Team One’s brand consultancy and thought leadership practice (yes, I like bragging about them: they are pretty cool 😎) Thank you for your reaction! 💜

"So what you're saying is Run BTS could cure depression." Interesting, 🤔. I discovered BTS in February of this year shortly after my oldest sister was diagnosed with cancer. I would deal with her and all the emotional turmoil that comes along with a terminally ill family member during the day, and then spend my nights exploring the BTS rabbit hole on You Tube. They were my escape. They brought me so much happiness during a time when I was falling a part. It was their brotherhood that sucked me in. I knew they were megastars, but I didn't know their music at the time. I only knew them as these "reality stars" on youtube. My sister passed away in June, and now I'm getting familiar with their music. So yes, BTS is definitely a cure for certain types of depression.

Run bts especially im so grateful for, it really highlights their great personalities that influence kids (and adults!) in a positive way. I wish more celebrities were like them.

I remember one of the first time on variety show, V explained how he would even approach guys in bathroom to make friends. He was so eager to make friends and meet new people and due to his charisma, people would become his friend. Imagine making friends with V and explaining that he approached you in the men's bathroom 😅. Only V can get away with something like that 💜 V used to be so open, innocent and more childlike at the beginning. He had to learn to tone it down because some people didn't understand that he really was truly honest and open person. Even Suga said in interview that he didn't believe V's personality was real at first. Now Suga is so protective with V and let's V get away with anything he wants. Junggukie also described V as innocent and he is younger. Maturity and experience has made V more quiet and careful but he is still our sweet TaeTae💜

Also, I love how she said she seems like Hobi would seem comfortable to be around because he's validating (essentially, responsive and open to other people's comments). The boys say that all the time. RM said that almost verbatim in Burn the Stage. Hobi is just comfortable to be around and puts people at ease. Also, I don't know if you've ever picked up on this (you might have) but when people are talking, even RUN producers, Hobi is constantly making sounds of affirmation. Like 'yep, okay, uh-huh," to make sure they know they've been acknowledged. Very validating person. That's part of the sunshine of him, right? He has his own gravity.

@ihniwiad 7 ай бұрын

when the question was posed "Who has the most rizz?" I actually paused the video and almost had an existential crisis trying to figure out an answer to that, lol... They each have it differently making that answer so tough. I would say V or RM if just put into a room and who would come out from having chatted up and charmed the whole room, but given the right circumstances, any of them could do it. In smaller groups JK is very loveable and he can be shyly physically goofy while oozing talent and wild energy, Yoongi's quiet humor would draw in absolutely everyone wanting to know more (the tsundere title for him is appropriate), Jin - if he is comfortable with you is so funny with his self-deprecating humor mixed with dad jokes just makes you want to spend more time with him to gain his focus, Jimin so naturally wants to make everyone around him comfortable and comforted that it must feel like a safe place to be while also having sparkles of mischief and J-hope is so naturally open that like one of you said, you feel safe because he expresses his happiness and acceptance of everything.

To answer Hilary's question of will they ever get back together? After Max said that they are currently on hiatus due to the military-- well, they just renewed their contract 2 years early to make sure they will stay together beyond 2025. And yes, ALL SEVEN members signed (even Jin and Jhope), it was allowed since technically the contract will not be profitable until 2025 meaning, they did not break any rules in the military (where it prohibits working military personnel to partake in any activities that would bring them profit or payment ) That was long 😂😂 anyway, APOBANGPO! 💜

Max you said something very intriguing about the fact that it might be easier for guys to be close and more touchy when you don't consider homosexuality as a possibility.

@@jessicaelle0988 Yeah, I have very mixed feelings. Some idols *are* gay, that's just reality, but they're within a society that isn't very accepting so it's not like they can easily be open about that. The ones who are open face a lot of challenges. Shippers are generally fetishizing which is gross, but people angry about it are often coming from a super homophobic place, which is also gross. How DARE you imply that he's LIKE THAT sort of thing. I hate both halves of that conflict. I would like to be able to accept that we don't know if people are gay OR straight until they've told us, and just enjoy the parts of their lives they choose to share. As a gay guy, I can enjoy the intimacy in these relationships, and relate to it, without needing to know if they're romantic when the cameras are off. I'd also love it if people would appreciate their favorite idols as people... so when they date we could cheer them on and celebrate with them. I want them to be happy. Korea is going through a super rapid shift in attitudes towards gayness right now - we can see it in a lot of their popular culture. It's reminding me of the US in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you watch the recent gay dating show, the experiences of men in their 30s, late 20s, and early 20s with coming out are drastically different. It looks really familiar to me because I lived through it here. It's far from perfect now, but I came out in the 1990s and it was hell. I didn't expect to survive to see my 30s. Glad I was wrong. 💜 I hope that they don't land in a place where straight men can't be affectionate for fear of being seen as gay. But I also hope Korean gay people don't have to hide anymore. I've loved watching some of the younger idols challenge cultural assumptions. TXT Yeonjun is a great example - he's openly affectionate with men, even calling his close male friends romantic endearments, and seems completely unconcerned about what people might think about that. It's not about his identity, it's about his comfort with people's assumptions. "If you act this way, people might think you're gay" is being answered with a shrug. I have absolutely no guess about his sexual identity because he's clearly comfortable with whatever it is. It's delightful 💜 He's far from the only one, just one good example. And MOA seems pretty non-toxic about these things overall. He flirts with girls, he flirts with guys, MOA teases him about both. 🤣 It gives me hope.

V is definitely the social butterfly of the group, and Jin, in large settings will make a point to drawl individuals into the group, and not be left out. Funny because Jin is such an introvert. And besides Jin, I feel like the funniest - within the group, is Jungkook. But being a huge introvert, take Jungkook out of his group, he is more socially withdrawn. They are so different in their group, take them out, and you see completely different social interactions. But put. Them on stage, and they all become beasts! Funny to watch their personalities, like at Jhope’s album release party, Jin sat in a corner by PD Bang, and played a game on his phone, until he felt it was acceptable to leave the party. Jk, was subdued, not really mingling, until hee danced with jhope, and Tae. Then he was laughing, and comfortable. Suga didn’t even go to the party, and RM was the perfect party person, mingling with everybody. But he knew so many artists in the industry, so he was very comfortable. Ok, I’ve rambled enough.

My thoughts as I watched your reaction: - I love your friend. - They have all signed new contracts, so YES they will all come back together. Even without the contracts, they have all said they can't wait for 2025 so they can be back together and performing as a group. - V literally has a song called "Inner Child." Also, his hand shaking when the food arrived? That was sign language for applause. He does that sometimes. :-) He is more reserved these days, AND this was taped during a time when he was (and all the guys were) really struggling with the destruction of their plans for 2020-2021 (huge worldwide concert tour followed by the solo projects and military service they're doing now, but one to two years after they originally planned to do it all), due to COVID. He was burnt out and disappointed, and more subdued than he had been in the years prior - so a combination of maturing and being a bit down, I think. He was very different even 2 years earlier than this. Even so, you see flashes of his fun...and a LOT of his "inner child" and humility (when he hit the cameraperson with the tennis ball). - "Run BTS" (and everything else BTS) went a long way towards getting me through the pandemic, living alone and working from home for the first time ever. - Jin told RM that he likes to make other people happy, because in turn it makes him happy. He said it was "selfish" (but we all know it isn't). - j-hope and V are my biases, but j-hope snuck up on me more. He can be zany, but he is also very ambitious professionally, very caring towards the other members (they depend on him a lot and say that he's a bit like the mother of the team, to RM's “dad”), and a deep thinker in ways that aren't always obvious (unlike SUGA and RM, who have more of that reputation, I think).

When you guys were talking about the queer community in Korea and how it’s conservative in that way it makes me even more proud of bts for being so openly supportive of the community and never being afraid to act the way they want. They’ve been judged for years for being too “feminine” especially jimin and I think that makes them even greater. They truly are (to a certain point) changing toxic masculinity 💜 they aren’t afraid to show their true love for eachother, even suga he can be seen as cold but when he gets affection from the members I never see him getting actually upset about it and he’s said himself that people see him as cold but he’s actually a soft guy that gets excited over little things like dogs and cats. I think they all equally love eachother but it hits when you see yoongi showing affection and admiration for his brothers and he has such a deep love for each one of them. They are so lovely :) also I recommend you show her the next ep of run bts (ep 117) it is so fun and yoongi is super bubbly and endearing in that one

To me Jimin has the most Rizz, as he can mesmerize all genders (making straight men question their sexuality) and he flirts with literally every one. All the members love him and seek him out for comfort, bringing up their mood and the best hugs. He just always draws people in, as the saying goes "once you Jim-in, you can't Jim-out".

Aww she is cute, please bring her back... she was mostly on point with most of them except V but we all know, he can't be boxed into a definition even after watching tons of episodes, the best you can get is that he is in tune with what he feels at that moment... Also, pointing out hobi's smile 🥺 he is a ray of sunshine I miss him and Jin so much 😭😭 (still in denial regarding yoongi👀🥲). As for the rizz, V definitely has it the most in my opinion, he is the social butterfly and doesn't leave a place without having at least one new friend, the boys always make sure to be really nice to those around them but Tae actually takes initiatives to start up the convo like he did with lady gaga in the Grammys or even with Jon Batiste after it, even in the latest shows he did in his solo album promotion he came out with two additions to his 95s line friends and a couple of new people from his tiny desk band

"Run BTS can cure depression." This is literally how I began my journey as ARMY. I was so depressed, but I found these guys and this show particularly, and I laughed and laughed and laughed. I swear it turned on my ability to feel again. It changed so much so quickly I literally had headaches from it. But I got up and moving, and healed so much. I lost 40 pounds the first year I knew BTS. That's the power of authentic love and happiness. I will be forever grateful to them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I hope you did tell your friend that these guys live together, eat and room together, in addition to every bit of work they do together - 10 - 12 hours a day of practice, tours and performing, singing, everything you can imagine. There are few moments of privacy, either they are with each other, or staff or a camera is on. Even on vacation (bon voyage or in the shop) they are filmed, although staff does edit heavily for public consumption. They have a magical chemistry, but some of it came about when they were trainees (and living in one room) ages 13-18 and like siblings who just squabble. They say that when you fight, you make up, and that makes you closer. One thing I appreciate out of Run BTS is that this is mentally healthy for THEM. My heart went out to Jungkook when he was about 16, they were headed in the direction of the zoo, and he was so excited he might see a tiger. They never, ever, let up working, so every outing or episode was a very necessary opportunity for them to play, to bond not only through work and living, but actually play. They know each other so well they can read each other's minds, they are their own family.

17:21 BTS CURED MY DEPRESSION! I became depressed as a young kid and it was a continuous struggle. 2017-2019 was the hardest season. But then, a friend introduced me to BTS. I liked them immediately and was blown away by their skills but had to shelf BTS to deal with life. One year later, in January of 2020 I remembered them and decided to dive in. Lockdown was the perfect opportunity to become completely immersed, and I don't even want to consider how things could have turned out without them. I've watched all Run BTS! episodes three times or more and I'm happy to be alive!!!

@evantesseract737 6 ай бұрын

The lack of toxic masculinity is what really hooked me... I often find myself looking for examples of healthy, wholesome masculinity, of men who can be loving and vulnerable. BTS gave me so much of that... Some of it is Korean culture, and some of it is just BTS. It's ridiculously wholesome though. And to my American eyes, it was incredibly striking at first. Men who hug each other, men who cry, men who tease each other gently and cheer each other on with real enthusiasm. It's not like there are no men here who are like that - I am! I know lots of guys who are! - but it's not what's expected of us. I know so many men who are lonely AF, feel like they don't know how to make friends, struggle for connection.

And just in general, it's a safe place i can go to when everything else is going to shit. 32:20 that hand gesture actually meaning "clapping" in sign language. V has been seen using sign language a lot, he's very naturally considerate and warm like that.

The 4th thing I ever saw of BTS when I went to KZfaq to hear more of their music (after first being completely blown away by their performance on Saturday Night Live) was an episode of Run BTS. There I was, sitting on the couch laughing my head off, and I knew nothing about them at that point. Their humor and the way they interact with each clinched it for me, on top of so much talent. During the pandemic I was working from home from 8am to 3:30am sometimes 7 days a week. I was so stressed out, exhausted and alone that if I hadn’t allowed myself to watch some of their music and an episode of Run BTS before going to sleep, I don’t think I would have made it through that terrible time for so many of us.

The two of you together was really entertaining and felt really good to watch. 🙂 I like how well your perspectives blend together & how generously you play off each other's feelings: For instance your separate favourite little details in their 7 different personalities ✨ Max's eye contact to show importance & attentiveness to Hillary is extremely Impressive.. (I struggle with eye contact but you do it Well.. ✨) I also, very strongly feel that Hillary, describes her thoughts & impressions with a great feeling of presence in the moment with both Max, the video & the viewers. It kept my focus if she was looking at Max or the camera or not & the chemistry between you guys came out interesting, fun & effortless ✨🙂 I was surprised at how well Hillary Constantly held my focus when she talked (It's Rare with my ADHD and 0 Focus😂) And I kept thinking: "HOW does she Do that" 🙀😅 So: 10/10 on reaction, content, chemistry, presence and colab & 20/10 on keeping my attention 😂 . . . (Wait: Hillary: Do you think in "Pictures" & then "Look at/describe the pictures" when you speak? Because you held my ADHD focus the way a very good Story Teller does - & that Would sort of explain the sudden burst of (shockingly) consistent focus on my part here... 🤸😂🐿️😇🌸)

I'm not sure if you've watched any of sugar's talk shows with The BTS members, but I think you would find that really fascinating! Also they all miss each other. You hear it in every interview they have recently and any press work they have, and also in their Weaver's lives for they go on and talk to all army/ fans. There's so much as you know. Max!
