I tried my hardest to keep up with the chaos :) Click here for my uncut reaction & analysis (1 hour): www.patreon.com/maxbeaumont

I feel like one of the most important concepts of this episode is Jeonghan himself. Jeonghan who outwits everyone (group and staff included) and can cheat his way out of a concrete box like this is HIM vs svt I love it + also the sprinkling of entertainment factor theyre throwing in to make the ep interesting (like purposefully being distrustful and coy)

I haven't seen anyone recommend it here but I think Bungee Jump episodes (37,38) would be great to see how much members know each other and discover the way they think individually. The going seventeen episodes usually show how they betray each other (for the show, of course) so the hearthwarming ending of ep 38 has a special place in my hearth.

What you said about everyone loving WOOZI is SOO TRUE. In one of their going seventeen 2020 episodes- 'SeungKwan Boo's Past Life Destiny #2' (ep 6) from 8:10 onwards, the members have to turn around and people who want to partner up with them will come and sit behind them. Woozi was the only where all the members lined up 😭😭😭

"Jeonghan is not as emotional as Mingyu here-" Mingyu is a VERY emotional person... always lol very well spotted.

His stage name is The8 because 8 is a lucky number in China, it symbolizes infinite luck, his real name is Xu Minghao. The8 always has that “takes no shit from anyone” demeanor lol which is why he was not fooled by Jeonghan at all 😂 I’ll have to recommend the Don’t Lie II episode, or One Million Won Part II because feel like the MBTI episode would be little hard to follow

Seventeen are great entertainers because they're super witty and just bounce off of each other so well, always building upon the previous member's comment or joke. And they indeed have an element of self-deprecation in their humor as they don't take themselves too seriously. They will laugh at their idol image, cringe at their own bad jokes and openly tease the show's producers for writing an cringy script or planning a boring game. Another Going Seventeen episode I'd recommend to see their group dynamics and personalities is "Bungee Jump". They play games where they have to predict a member's words or actions. If they succeed, the member will have to bungee jump. It's a great show of how well they know each other and it's interesting seeing their tactics to induce the chosen word/action.

Jeonghan is a master at mind games like this because he is so in tune emotionally with his members. He knows how each responds to certain approaches. He can use this power for evil like games but it also shows just how much he cares and interacts with each member. Every member adores him because he pays attention to them, asking about their problems and communicates on a intimate level. Don’t think he’s truly “evil" or anything, he plays “Seventeen’s Loki” purely to make the show fun and entertaining. The guys themselves have said Jeonghan loves Seventeen so much,to the point of saying they are his everything.

"DK might be the easiest to be swayed" 😂😅 It is often said by the members that without them, DK would have been conned by now lol

Your observation is on point! DK is indeed not as skeptical as the other members. He tends to trust others easily. That's why the boys are quite concerned about him. Since they believed that he'd get scammed easily. That's because they even said that DK is the kindest person they know next to God. ❤ Aside from that, DK sees the goodness in everyone. He's so pure & innocent! A must-protect baby of all time.

What you said about dk being a bright light in the group is so true, he's often called the group's ball of sunshine or goofy ball of serotonin

One of the major strengths Jeonghan has, he knows what works with each member.. He knows he can easily persuade Mingyu, S. Coups and Hoshi with a bit of confidence, he knows a bit fear works with Seungkwan, a bit of gentle coercing works with jun, the8 & DK, intellectual explanation and being on backfoot with wonwoo, woozi, vernon And he has a habit of only doing minimum that would get him maximum success... He does not waste energy persuading everyone..

i've been following svt for 6 years now so you pointing out their personalities and interactions so well is so funny to me like. yes of course the8 negotiated with jeonghan the best and of course dk is the easiest to be swayed by jeonghan lmfaoo i would love if you reacted to some of their other going svt videos!

Dino is one of the main joksters in seventeen. He loves to laugh and joke around with his hyungs and is very outgoing when they are together.

You picked up on DK’s personality really quickly, svt has a joke that every time he innocently sides with the “bad guys”, he is sure to be swindled within 5 years 😅😅

Jeonghan is usually fairly quiet when it comes to interviews but when its a game, watch out. This guy is ruthless and very witty, especially when it comes to mind games, he can talk his way out of anything. It's also become sort of a running gag where he'd just cheat at any game and he's so good at it that oftentimes it goes unnoticed by the members and even the staff until it reaches the editing room.

Carats always say Jeonghan could be a conman bc of his negotiation tactics and intelligence.

The8 is called The8 because he is chinese and in chinese culture the number 8 is believed to be the luckiest number because 8 is associated with wealth. The8 himself also said he chose this name because when the 8 is laid down, the infinite sign appears. He also said something about the legend of "the powerful vocals of eight dragons" I'm not quite sure what that one is but yeah ... thats why The8 is The8. Fun fact, the SVT members are often presented in age order, oldest to youngest, The8 would typically land in the 10th position but he asked to switch position with DK so that he could always be the 8th member presented.

Max, just want to let you know that there is a second episode to One Million! After they revealed the amount that was given/taken away from Jeonghan, the dynamic between the members among themselves and them VS Jeonghan starts to change and I'm interested to hear your comparisons between them here and in the next episode!

also, something i noticed in jun’s negotiation was that he started using formalities which rlly shows that he started getting intimidated while jeonghan continued to speak informally to him

Honestly, when I first watched their shows, their whole dynamic felt different to other groups I previously watched. They didn't really establish honorifics as much. They do honorifics but it's just not as present to me? Members who I thought were younger were actually the older ones. I think it's specfically because they don't treat the youngest as youngest, it's more like they treat each other like any other friend. That is what stood out to me and I appreciate it.

Well done for keeping up with the comforting chaos coach! 😂hope to see more seventeen content soon!

I watched this Going arc two times: first as a non-fan and then as a Carat about a year later or so, and after getting more familiarized with the overall team dynamics and the relationships they have individually, my respect for Jeonghan went up by loads. His tone changes minutely for every member and I think this is more noticeable in Korean. For example, for Jun, who was the most visibly flustered within the members, Jeonghan's tone softened by so much. Because JH's one of the oldest members of the group, he usually uses the first-person pronoun "Na" or forgoes it. But once he notices how intimidated Jun is, he switches to the much friendlier and warmer "Hyung" instead and takes on a gentler tone. "Hyung" is usually used as a suffix when younger guys refer to older guys but also when older guys refer to themselves in front of younger guys- it makes for a much more welcoming and almost intimate atmosphere. I'd also recommend the TTT episodes (2019, 2020, 2021) because the premise is basically the members on an excursion so they let their guards down more compared to the other more scripted episodes. The Don't Lie series is hilarious and considered one of the breakthroughs of GoSe too! The Insomnia Zero series is also a go-to classic if you're looking to get to know the members better- I've probably watched the first season twenty times or so just because of how easy it is. Last one! The members (and the GoSe staff LOL albeit in a self-deprecating way) consider the Carnival episode their "failed" episode- once you watch it, it becomes clear enough why- but as a Carat, it's a guilty pleasure of mine; definitely a go-to if you want the members' reaction to funnily embarrassing and flustering situations. I'm extra glad you're getting into Seventeen- they're definitely one of the most interesting groups out there. Enjoyed your reaction as always! And I hope you can also check out the second part of One Million Won too- it kept me on the edge of my seat :))))

Dk is the purest sunshine 🥺. Thank you for reacting to seventeen ❤️

watching this makes u think he'd be a really good businessman but then u remember if he wasn't in svt he'd be a farmer.. also he targeted the ones least likely to give him the time of day with "there will be betrayal" bc it's the only thing that maybe has a chance of shaking them

DK really is a literal sunshine, the one that lights up the atmosphere. He definitely is easily swayed, especially when it comes to Jeonghan. I think he just likes to please people and make others happy. I one said that if Jeonghan was to start a Cult or some MLM/Pyramid Scheme, DK would be the first to sign up no questions asked. xD

DK really is the light of the group ❤❤

At 6:00, I think it's because Jeonghan knows the members very well and the members know that, and that's why his words surely affected or made the members overthink 😂 He's sure that some of them will betray the group for him/would be drawn into siding with him 😂😂😂

Seventeen are a master entertainment group, absolutely performative, engaged and audience captors, it would be FANTASTIC if you continued to react to some of their videos and the way each of them manifests presence and leadership! I loved your analysis, I have a lot to learn from Jeonghan.

So one thing about seventeen is that they will do anything to make the show even more fun than it is..so sometimes you will see sime betrayal (a lot of it)😂😂. Also i love these videos about seventeen..hopefully we will have more of them♥️

Jeonghan is extremely smart and the members r very close and understand each other very well that's why we could see jeonghan speaking differently to different members he was just trying to use his understanding of the against them lol Also the8 chose that name cuz 8 horizontally is ♾️ infinity it's a lucky number in china and he's chinese

Im pretty sure Jeonghan divided the members into 3 groups, the ones he believes he can fully get on his team, the ones that would be good if he could get and the ones he has no interest in pursuing, mostly cuz he knows it isnt possible, so wont waste his energy on them. Jeonghan has the highest EQ, he understands the members well and knows how to talk to them. And he knows that Seventeen is extremely loyal to each other, to the point they know they'll be fine even if they betray eachother pretty brutally. Because they all care about the show and if itll be funny. And thats what hes playing on alot, BECAUSE its a show, and BECAUSE betrayal would be funny, do you think NONE of the others will betray to make it funny?

You actually chose a good episode to watch for this analysis/reaction… I genuinely think it’s best to watch the less chaotic episodes for a content like this 😂 Also, when this came out, a lot of carats actually pointed out how Jeonghan used different tactics on each member, like he knows his members so well that he knew who to actually persuade and how. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed hearing your comments! Thank you~

your reaction was so insightful! my favorite conversation was between jeonghan and wonwoo since, when it comes to games, they are complete opposites. where jeonghan is sly and conniving, wonwoo is always 100% honest and fair even if it means he loses. he's also incredibly smart which are all reasons why jeonghan was smiling. he knew he wasn't going to convince wonwoo to take his side but he also knew that wonwoo would do everything he would to win against him. jeonghan really met his match there.

Woozi looks so serious and calm but, in the end, his unit is the most chaotic and he truly enjoys that. His members are his happiness and daily joy uwu

i think what makes this video so cool was that seventeen have always had this image of playfulness since before debut. seventeen works as a group because they really bounce off each other personality wise. the fact that 13 men with 13 different personalities could mesh so well together is interesting and kinda amazing if you think about it. they all have something to say and they all listen. and it's kept lighthearted, even on the rare circumstances it gets serious. seventeen take the title of being entertainers very serious if you can't already tell lmaoo they love being jokesters and for going seventeen there's always an air of them waiting to bounce off the next joke to make the video even more funny

You should also react to their Don't lie episodes. I told you previously, those interviews don't show their personalities. It's content like this that allows you to know the group

i enjoyed this reaction! please watch part 2 of one million won!

their group bond is strong irl but since it's like their variety show they are filming they have to make it interesting, even if it means betraying each other😂 jeonghan especially supports this mindset and that's why he always wins all the games and makes shows entertaining to watch!

What a great choice of episode! The psychological warfare in this is insane, also in an mbti episode, they had an actual expert analyze their personalities, and yes dino seems more mature because the older ones are immature/doesn't act like how an older person should lol in a way their team is really balanced XD ps. There is a part 2 of this episode, and I'm curious what ur thoughts would be after seeing the final results, would be great to see ur reaction!

Wow, this is such a fun and interesting watch! It's amazing how well you describe each member. Honestly, 'One Million Won' is one of the Going SVT eps that are least likely to be recommended on reactors if they are new to SEVENTEEN because it's toned down and the mechanics of the game is a bit technical (with math and all haha). But for you who focuses on the communication styles and behaviors, I think you picked a great one for a starter! To give a context on Jeonghan's original choices of who to convince - Mingyu, SCoups and Hoshi. Mingyu is known to be the smart one of the group, a straegist just like Jeonghan. SCoups is the strength of the group and he's basically known to always stick with Jeonghan and not betray him in a game. And lastly Hoshi, he's usually more into making a fun episode, he aims to give a spice instead of just going with the flow.

Your opinions to each members are on the right track it's so fascinating... I don't know if you will watch the other part but thank you sm for reacting to this, it must've been hard lol... Jeonghan in one of the interview was like a walking dictionary of seventeen members, he knows them well and uses different ways of communicating or playing around with them, and it has been mentioned a lot that they talk/ tell jeonghan a lot with their worries too w/c jeonghan was happy about to help them, comfort them, and car for them 💖 ~☁️💎☁️~

I swear if it wasn't for them wanting to beat the unbeatable Jeonghan at least once, Jeonghan would be the total ace His negotiation skills in this ep made him my ult bias in Seventeen How he has set amounts and plans for the distribution which makes it more realistic and trustworthy - and, he doesn't budge in his ways - he doesn't give in to the others' demands - and he knows the members well so he's utilising it totally (like how he directly talked about money to SCoups cuz he'll listen, but, to Seungkwan, started with trying to break any absolute trust that Seungkwan has on the others)

jeonhan knows boys very well so he talked in different way:))) going seventeen is the best show to know them. dino is always like this. he doesn't feel like the youngest. SeungKwan and dino are tom and jerry of group. other member like to make fun of dino and mingyu. DK is our sunshine.

jeonghan telling seungkwan that the guys will betray them.. he did not mean it literally or in the sense that challenges the bond they have. they really just do betray each other often in going seventeen 😭

I learned a lot from your analysis and explanation. At first, I thought I was just gonna enjoy your reaction to their game, but I gained a lot of new perspectives and ways of communicating with other people. I'm glad YT recommended your channel to me. I hope you continue react more from seventeen.

It is so cool and interesting to hear and watch our members from the perspective and eyes of a communication coach! Makes me think about and notice things I did not notice before. Thank you very much :D love your videos

One thing about SEVENTEEN is that, SVT as a group, they have one of the strongest bonds in the industry. It's Seventeen for life, but when it comes to variety shows, especially in Going Seventeen, it's just pure chaos and betrayal (courtesy of Yoon Jeonghan, again), so it's understandable that they don't trust each other in this episode, because for them, it makes the show interesting 🤣

I think what makes Dino more mature is that he's the oldest in his family but the youngest in svt, so in turn he still adopts his big bro personality in svt cus age rank is pretty important in korea. Reversedly, Scoups is the youngest in his family but the oldest in svt, so he often acts childish / cute.

Yes, I've been waiting for this one!! There is a part two, which shows the end result, please react to that one too🙏🏻

Nice! Thank you very much. I also recommend the Debate Nights and the MBTI test. Thank you for your work and time. I love the content.

Wow! You did a great job analyzing this episode and have a great gasp on each of the members. Jeonghan is very quick witted and has really high emotional intelligence. Yes, the game was fun and seeing them negotiate was really interesting. But what impressed me the most is Jeonghan’s ability to adjust each of his negotiation approach differently to fit each member. He is a true genius and knows his members really well. One of his roles within the team is being the bridge between the members especially between the older and younger members. I have never seen anyone play games like Jeonghan who uses smarts and emotions to win, even tricking the production staff. What’s even crazier is he is also the best at sports among Seventeen. Hope you continue with the second half of this episode to see the end result.

oh hey, one of my favourite episodes! didnt expect that haha, great commentary as usual. it's nice to finally watch you see the boy's actual colours and how they are in a more comfortable/familar setting. this was fun, and no - definitely picking up notes of negotiation from jeonghan, i didn't actually realise how often you may do it as an adult, as I've been one for a little while now - its def needed. i think over than the 'know thyself' episode i recommended previously, i think their TTT Compilation, Debate Night or Don't Lie series can show really interesting sides of them while it remains casual, thanks for the reaction once again :)

just an fyi, there is a part 2 to this episode, and the situation changes dramatically. please check it out! i really enjoyed this analysis,, jeonghan is an extremely clever guy! that’s why it was him vs 12 :)

You should watch dont lie 1 (2020) its hilarious especially towards the end when we find out the tactics the 3 mafias used 😂

When you said DK is such a light for this group🥲so trueeee. Im really looking forward to more seventeen analyses

I think another really good episode to check out would be the most recent MBTI test thing they did on Going Seventeen (ep51+52). They took the test from the other member’s perspectives it was really fun

you should react to debate nights, i really enjoyed this reaction!! I'm glad you are doing seventeen

Dk hoshi and mingyu are indeed the easiest to get swayed, the more naive ones who jeonghan had already chosen as his targets to convince

Thank you so much for reacting to going seventeen! I always enjoy your reactions. Not only is it fun to watch but you also point out things that I haven’t noticed before (like minghaos questioning throwing off Jeonghan). If you enjoyed this episode you can watch the next part, to see how negotiations change for example (the ending is unexpected), or other episodes like debate night which would be good at analysing their presentation skills and confidence is communicating nonsense😂or the mbti episode which will allow you to understand their personalities more, not just from the test, but how the members react to the tests being done by other members etc. Thanks

You should watch one of seventeens don’t lie episodes!!! They’re iconic and would be interesting to dissect

i feel like i gained a deeper insight on the negotiations in this episode of going svt through your analysis 😆

I love these videos keep doing them!!

Yayyy love thisss, thank youu

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was waiting for this

loving the seventeen reactions!

Thank you so much for this!! Love hearing all of your reads on the guys because they're so so accurate lol! If you want more Going Seventeen content I would highly recommend watching Don't Lie! it's basically a game of mafia (with a couple of twists) so I think that would greatly showcase more of their communication skills, as well as it's one of their "signature" episodes (there are multiple installments of it) because of how purely entertaining it is. I would also recommend their Debate Night! again, as you can probably tell by the "Debate" them, very focused on arguing your point even though the topics are very comical (think "having three arms vs having 3 eyeballs" comical)

I LOVE IT, PLS DO MORE

yesss I waited all week for your seventeen's videos! learned so much and love it as alwaysss

Looking forward to watch the part 2!

i really enjoy your reaction to seventeen !!! definitely would love another going seventeen videos

So happy you’re reacting to Going Seventeen! It’s such a fun time and so telling about their personalities and relationships

Fun fact is that some of the members are really interested in stocks 🤣😅 You'll be shocked on how this men trust each other in other things and have no trust when it comes to games🤣 they really are great in entertainment😅 and Jeonghan has really a way of persuading the members.

Yaaas please react more to Going Seventeen! This was fun!

Thank you soo much for reaction to Going Seventeen!!! 🤭❤️

wahhhhh i love this, i can't wait for more

this is so cool and i actually enjoyed and learned a lot!! hoping to see more svt from you 😊 thank you so much for this!!

AHHH thank you for reacting to this. absolutely loved and am constantly blown away by how perceptive you are. also love seeing you fall for seventeen......slip into the diamond life!

cant wait for part 2

Dino became a trainee at the age of 14 and lead all the trainees in the choreography practice and performances. And he is the oldest child in his family tree (including the cousins) so despite of having 12 seniors, he rarely acts cute and is very mature for his age. He sometimes gets irritated at the members babying him and he calls them by their full names as well =))).

Our sunshine DK, yeah, that's him...

always up for a svt reaction video !!!

This is a great episode for a communication breakdown. Not only did I learn about all the guys but learned some things that I can use myself. Great video!

it's a pity you haven't done the part 2 but i love your reaction ❤ hope you'll do more!

I loved this analysis so much! I cannot wait for part two! I really hope you also react to Don't Lie II! 🤞🏻

id LOVE to see you react to their debate nights, probably one of the funniest things and one of the most demanding in terms of quick thinking

ahahahh it's really fun watching you reacting to going seventeen because literally this show is where everyone can see their real personalities

I keep being amazed at how people are easy to read. I've been stanning this group for 4 years now and i know them, but you only watched a couple of videos and can tell their personalities right away. It's so cool

PLEASE DO THE SECOND EPISODE YOU WILL BE AMAZED

Hi! Thank you for analyzing SVT! This is the first time I ever see this kind of reaction and I love it! You really give a new perspective abt each member.

I think going seventeen shows their true personalities, thanks for reacting to it 😊

Talking about team work and trust in going seventeen? I don't know why am I laugh so hard 🤣

FINALLLY !!!

omg yess i love going seventeen! please react to more episodes 🤍 + I haven’t watch the video yet but i love your reactions 🤍🤍🤍

5:49 while seventeen does have a strong bond and do trust each other a lot, they're also entertainers and we see that specifically in Going Seventeen and in how they're willing to do just about anything for the sake of the show and entertainment, in general they don't take what happens when filming all that seriously especially if it makes a good plot and/or makes people laugh (with the exception of a few members who will be a little pouty, but again not too deep)

can't tell you how much I wanted to see you react to this specific episode! it's always so much fun, thank you max!

I didn’t know I needed this kind of content so much. Keep up the good work.

would love to see more going seventeen or just seventeen in general!

Loved the video! Seeing you breaking down the guys in their Korean variety mindset is really fun! This might be a little early for it, but once you maybe get a feel for them, I'd love for you to check out their 5th Anniversary video! They decided to review their previous music videos while pretending to be another member! It's an interesting way to see how the members push boundaries for themselves and come up with caricatures of each other for the sake of the fans (and amusing content)!
