The reason why Soobin is the most comfortable is because he’s already met Jessi a few time’s beforehand! He was the MC at MusicBank where he “interviewed” many idols.

soobin is definitely introverted but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be shy, you can tell when he’s around the other members he’s choosing when to use up his social energy whilst the other extroverts gain their energy from the socialisation! soobin is a great social navigator!

Yeah, a lot of idols do get pigeonholed into roles and it’s honestly unfortunate. Kai has briefly mentioned his role as “the cute maknae” within TXT saying, “It (acting cute) does feel like part of the job sometimes, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like doing it.” Even Beomgyu has mentioned his role of mood maker and how at one point he got sick of it, he was going through a rough time and he felt it didn’t fit him anymore so he stopped introducing himself with it. TXT, to me, don’t seem like the type of people to put up with too much stuff. If they don’t like it, they won’t put up with it. They’re some of the most real, genuine idols I have personally come across.

Jessi is american and debuted in Korea at age 15! Her korean still isn't perfect and a lot of korean celebs seem to think less of her bc of it. however, she is really hitting it off with the younger generation. People really are taken aback by her forward sense of humor, but some are realizing her charm. thanks for the videos as always!

Soobin is very comfortable with Jessi because he is a host for a show that she appears on frequently. Also, the interview was held at TXT’s agency (in their dance practice room). So really everything was perfectly aligned for Soobin to feel most comfortable.

Hueningkai's true side is still quite mysterious for me. Maybe that's why I feel so curious about him. Most of the time I feel he might be forgotten by ppl but no, all his hyungs are so interested in him when he talks. They never ignore him even he talks so softly that nearly can't be heard.

If Soobin is around people who make him comfortable he can be as loud and outgoing as the other members and he gets along REALLY WELL with Jessi, they haven't met that many times or anything but you can easily see how both have a soft spot for the other, it was one of the most unexpected but satisfying interactions to see this year tbh

Although Hueningkai likes to show this cute side of him a lot, its because it's something that he usually does. I can see that he himself wants to show that side of him a lot and he likes doing it. However, he's proven himself to be emotionally strong in some situations as well. And he's someone who works so well despite of the pressure. I still remember him doing the speech during their first rookie award while the rest of the members were in tears. And him understanding and considering his member's opinions. When Beomgyu got so strict on him one time coz he doesn't want the members to mess up the lines during their show, Hueningkai didn't get mad at him and just memorized his lines and understood him. Aside from that he wants his members to know that they can rely on him whenever they have a hard time and maybe this is why he likes showing his bright and cheerful side coz he wants them to be happy. But it's not like he hasn't had any struggles at all tho. He's had a hard time during their trainee days. Soobin said in one vlive with Hueningkai that having a mindset like him in this industry is a gem(something like that) coz he's the type of person to handle tough situations and giving it a more positive understanding. Idk but if this is the side of him that I'd see most of the time and minus the cute or bubbly side I'd probably be intimidated. It would maybe feel distant as well since that cheerful side gives me comfortable vibes from him

their variety show “to do” really showcases each side of their personalities and how funny and playful they all can be

This interview is one of their interviews that they seem really comfortable and can express their personality really well

i think honestly although beomgyu is extremely extroverted with his members but outside of that he usually is a bit shy (watching back their interactions with bts he was so shy lmfao), so it's honestly hard to tell at this point where he falls although most introverts are like that LMFAO and as for this interview it was one of my favorites, jessi was literally like their mom, glad u checked it out

Omg you definitely need to react to different interviews Jessi does because she’s incredibly at making everyone comfortable even though she’s quite straight forward 🥺

Like everyone mentioned soobin has met jessi multiple before while he was an mc for a year. But he also specifically mentioned that jessi helped him gained some confidence in himself each time they met so I definitely think that’s why he was so comfortable in this interview. I agree with you that soobin is the quietest member so it’s surprising at first that he’s the leader. But once you get an understanding of his personality it’s difficult to picture anyone else in his position.

What do you mean you don't get the cuteness? The cuteness brings happiness to everyone! Whenever I see someone do cute stuff, my stomach feels bubbly and without me realising, I'm smiling! It loosen a stiff atmosphere.

They're veterans of the industry but I'd love to see you analyse Super Junior. Known entertainers, some of them have HUGE personalities while others are quite reserved. 15+ years together though so they have great chemistry (and are HILARIOUS!)

Soobin and Jessie have history on Music Bank; she's promoted her music a few times during his stint as co-MC and they have the best interviews on the show. Soobin credits her for drawing him out of his shell and helping to make him better at his job.

Jessi’s Showterview is always a good show to watch. She makes all her guest have a fun time and deeply cares for all of them.

i think you also would like txt’s most recent episode of mmtg! it’s similar to this show in the way that the host is super energetic and she definitely brings out the funnier sides of the boys

About Soobin being comfortable in his own skin, i agree! It seems like he is getting more comfortable and confident. Btw, introversion and extraversion doesn't neccesairly have to do anything with social skills. It is more about cognition than about sociability and behaviour. Plenty of introverts are fairly comfortable in social situations, and vice versa for extroverts. It has to do with how you charge your energy and spend most of time: is it through some external stimuli or alone, in your own head etc. Just wanted to put it out there. Thank you so much for Txt reactions i really enjoy it! I hope we get Enhypen reaction as well! 😊

one more thing to add to Soobin as the leader that i didn’t notice while browsing through the comments: in most kpop groups, and hybe groups specifically, the leader is not necessarily a decision maker or someone whose word matters more than the others’, but more like someone who supports the rest of the group, especially mentally, and monitors their well being and so on. that’s why i feel that people who are very good active listeners like Soobin are usually well suited for the role :)

I waited for this so long. Finally! I think Soobin is so much more open in this interview, because he knows Jessi before and is also the closest to her from all the guys. This might help him to open up more.

introverts arent meant to be shy as shyness is more a sign of social anxiety or just people telling themselves theyre shy until they actually are. its very misunderstood but introversion and extraversion is a temper thing :)

Yes! When it comes to Soobin (especially with the other members) you can tell he’s truly and introvert among extroverts. Something the members always said/say about him is that he’s a really good listener and someone anyone could easily and comfortably talk to whenever. They always joke with each other and pretend not to be interested and it’s so funny but you can tell they really truly care for each other that’s why I love them. They are always aware of boundaries and when the right time is for everything. You can just feel the love beaming from their atmosphere I love it!❤️❤️❤️

Soobin has the best rapport with Jessie because he already met her couple of times when he was an MC for a music show :)

Soobin has said before that whenever he interviewed jessi it was always more comfortable than other interviews where it would be more awkward. also beomgyu is usually the most chaotic and goofy one in the group so he might have just been a bit shy around jessi in the interview

i recommend watching txt's variety show called to do specifically their recent episodes their personalities shine on the show

The most accurate you’ve said in this video Yeonjun is a showman” Spot on 👌🏾

This was TXT's company building, their own practise studio, it might have an effect on their comfort during this interview 🌟

TXT x Jessie is one of the best & one of the most iconic moments of TXT!!! And I really love Jessie 😊 Hope you can do them next: - EXO - Enhypen - BTS - ITZY - Twice - Red Velvet

You should react to more Jessi interviews! She makes idols so comfortable and it’s definitely a different environment than other shows.

I think Soobin seems a lot more comfortable here because not only is it being filmed in a space he's familiar with, surrounded by his members, but also at this point he's met Jessi a few times and grown closer to her (and probably understands her sense of humour/personality more.) I really love this interview, and your take on their communication skills is so interesting and informative! Love the work you're doing~

Thank you for your reaction, ive been waiting for it! The reason why soobin feels quite comfortable is because he already met jessi a few times before because he was an MC at music bank, where he interviewed multiple idols. I would recommend watching txt‘s vatiety show “to do” if you want to see txt’s “real” personalities! Id really love a reaction to that

I’d love for you to look at the interactions between TXT and ENHYPEN but you’d need to get to know the members names first, there are so many you’d get confused who was in which group :)

Soobin is the only introvert in TXT. The rest of them are all extroverts.

Soobin is the type of person who doesn't talk a lot with people he just met or is uncomfortable around- he's shy that way. He's been getting better at it due to his role as MC for Music Bank (which, unfortunately, has ended now). He will still talk and such around other people because he's the leader and the others are with him, so there is a semblance of comfort, but he usually lets the others do more of the talking since they tend to talk more anyways and are more comfortable in unfamiliar social situations. During his time as MC for Music Bank, he interviewed Jessi a lot and spent time with her practicing backstage (which is where a lot of iconic idol friendships have started), and thus became comfortable and friendly with her, hence why he is much more comfortable here. I also want to point out that Jessi is a very down-to-earth person. She is brutally honest, as you saw, and doesn't fit the idol ideal of staying polite and humble- she will brag and make dirty jokes as much as she wants (which is a good thing, because we love her for it and it doesn't happen very often, so it's refreshing)- and as such, tends to make people feel more comfortable. Instead of it feeling like a scripted interview with an uninterested host and boring questions, Jessi tends to throw curveballs and jokes in there and is genuinely interested. You can even hear her staff- cameramen, directors, other coordinators and such, laughing at them from behind the camera. It's a warm and comfortable environment that feels safe and fun. Even if some idols are more comfortable with the scripted type of interviews (which I can totally understand, I have a control problem where if I don't have much control over a situation, I tend to panic), Jessi is good at recognizing this and tends not to push or tends to direct it back to the script (even if it is a very loose script) to make them feel more comfortable. She's just a good person all around and no matter what the group she's interviewing is, there is always laughter and fun in them, along with a general aura of warmth. It's a nice change-up from most interviews nowadays and really enjoy watching them because they are so genuine and real. Thank you for reacting to them, and I hope you have a good weekend! It's really interesting to hear you talk about their personalities and how that affects their communication skills along with language barriers and body language and how that ties into everything, so please keep making videos! Also, I don't know if you're taking requests, but there's an underrated group called Astro whose dynamics are super fun. It's 6 members and they've only recently become "popular", but one of their members, Eunwoo, is actually more famous than the group (through no fault of his own other than his terrific acting skills) and they're quite a fun and (at times) loud and rambunctious group! The members are MJ (the eldest, main vocal, and a goofball), JinJin (the leader, rapper, second eldest, and a dork), Eunwoo (third eldest, vocalist, and has his own hilarious sense of humor), Moonbin (third youngest, dancer and vocalist, seems serious at first but is actually quite funny), Rocky (second youngest, main dancer and rapper, honestly struck me as the most serious one at first, but he's a little like Taehyun in the sense that he's just a bit more mature... doesn't stop him from being goofy, though), and Sanha (the youngest, vocalist, and a clumsy dork who grew too tall too quickly [which didn't help the clumsiness]).

Jessie's show is the best, we get to see a lot of different sides from idols cuz some of them get more comfortable around her

trust me they are all confident if you ask them "who is the best looking in the group?" no doubt the would all pick themselves 😂

I'm really glad you specifically pointed out the qualities that make Soobin a good leader and I think why he was such a popular MC! He is an introvert and he can definitely be shy in a lot of situations, but he's grown a lot in the past few years and he has a lot of great skills and qualities that allow him to really connect with people and make them feel important. Very proud of him.

txt guys are very likeable people. i dont even stan them but i really like their personalities and their songs are good too

Watching your videos is really helping me improve my communication skills. Keep going 🙌❤

when you said that one minute beomgyu is very shy but the next he's mr. sooth, mr. suave, i couldn't agree with you more! he has often been described as someone who lives in 3AM in 3PM at the same time, as in he's either very hyped up and cheerful, or he's completely in his feelings and his energies are directed inwards

You should react to txt mc soobin making everybody fall in love with him

I love this interview Jessi did. This one and the one with Ateez members are my favorite!

omg i can't believe you're reacting to this iconic episode!! i love jessi and i love txt so much! this was so fun! jessi's showterview is always so fun!!!

u aren’t at 50k yet? underrated content!!!

HAHAHAH jessi is queen!!! TXT 🤩🤩 JESSI HAS BEEN IN the industry since almost 12 years

Perfect timing, I just came from another video. I really love all your reactions. (i also really hope to see shinee reactions someday).

4:55 I totally relate to you on not getting the whole aegyo (cuteness) thing. It's a big part of fanservice in kpop, but I think even a lot of idols find it awkward.

honestly max apart from the reactions i just learn a lot from your videos these communication skills help me in real life thank you genuinely

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this video. I kept coming back to your account to see if you had posted it yet 😩

i genuinely find ur videos so fascinating

sir i dont know who you are as i just stumbled upon this video. but thank you for making these videos. i feel like kpop fans really love this content bc the kpop industry doesn’t always let the idols be themselves. so thank you bc as a fan it makes me feel like I understand the idols personalities a little better.

Jessi showterview makes every idols that come feel comfortable ❤️

i would argue that assigning main characteristics to each member is also done in western culture… bands (but also solo artists) usually have the cheeky one, the funny one, etc. that’s why when they break out of their image it’s such a big deal. i would go even further and say we even do this within social gatherings, we all have the mom friend, the innocent friend, the smart friend; these don’t necessarily lock us down to that role. the funny friend can get mad, or sad, or bored. it’s just how we present ourselves and are consequently perceived as, at surface level.

This was a really good and really sweet video. 🙏🏼 Some of your comments were so spot on it made me proud and almost emotional about the boys. It's true. Thay are amazing, and themselves :) And, so much fun to watch! 😁 I hope you keep reacting to their content, this is a blessing to watch. Thank you very much. 🙏🏼 And I loved to re-watch this interview again, this is one of their bests! They're usually more relaxed in channel's content and on their own, interviews are sometimes awkward yet funny and entertaining. But Jessi really made them confortable here! I hope you watch other interviews and videos in general :)

I really love your message of spreading positivity by saying nice things to others if we think them 💜

Jessi's showterview was really one of the best shows ever, because she really brings out a fun side of her guests! This episode is one of my faves

I have to say that Jessi is a great host. She comes from the states, and there around her family and friends she wouldn’t be noticed as much as she is among Korean idols. She’s bold, social and blunt and that often brings out the best in the people around her.

Only seen 4 videos but I am in love with your channel.

jessi lesgo!!!

Jessi is Korean American and very forward by Korean standards. So her show is often about how celebs will deal with her shocking personality. She's also dresses sexily so male celebs get awkward around her sometimes. So being on her show is like a challenge, an amusing one.

You should also react to the latest interview they had at MMTG they seem comfortable and their personalities really show!

You definitely have to react to more of Jessi's Showinterview...it's just so iconic❤

I never noticed Beomgyu being shy. That was interesting. I saw another interview with a Korean woman who doesn't speak English like Jessi and he was totally comfortable

Thank you for watching this Max!

you know one thing that needs to be pointed out is all of the previous interviews of txt you have reacted to were before soobin became host of a music show and this one is right after a year of him doing live television broadcasts weekly and interacting with alot of stars and interviewing them so he actually grew alot in that time period , he ba came more comfortable with the attention and people in general . i also think he always had this side to him but it came out more into the spotlight after he became an mc

Love your reaction ! Jessi also had an interview with Ateez and it’s extremely fun. They are both comfortable with each other and show good chemistry in that interview. Hope you analyze Ateez communication skill as well 😊

really enjoyed this video!

I can relate so much about always doubting myself, am I doing good enough, am I smart, enough, funny enough... I wish I had that level of confidence! :)

I LOVE TXT THEY ARE SUCH WHOLESOME PEOPLE!! i hope you react to NCT soon!!

I really love txt..please react more about them they're so funny,they're so talented, energetic and charming😆😆😆🤩😍really excited to waiting for more video of them😘😘😍😍😍

honestly, i would love to see you react to jessi sometime, i really like her and how she treats the guests on her show so

Jessi is so cute and funny, I really liked this video.

How did u know that me and Taehyun are in a serious relationship and that we are gonna get married soon???

OMG FINALLY! can't wait to watch ur reaction!!!

he also knows her out of that interview. You should watch compilations of his mc interviews. They are also interviewing in the hybe building which is where they work so its like working from home.

unfortunately the issue you pointed out about being dubbed as the cute guy exists. even moas are guilty of it. i'm impressed you caught it to be honest. being dubbed as the "cute maknae or guy" definitely has its disadvantages as people often just see him as that. because of it most will undermine him as a person and his abilities. but he's actually very very talented and one of the most if not the most mysterious member of the group when you actually think about it. he has not shown his vulnerable side or more of his personality to us. he's pretty closed off. it took a really long time for soobin to even get close to kai as trainees (the 2 of them were the only members that were close when they were trainees before the 5 of them got picked for the debut team and basically have to make friends ofc). and even taehyun said in a birthday message that he continues to wait for the day kai truly confides in him. even his members hasn't seen all sides of him. so i think he's not ready to show these sides of him too to us and just want to play as the cute guy for now. there's also this thing where he debuted young so he basically went through all his adolescence during his trainee period and idol life. so he's probably trying to find and discover himself more and gain confidence. moreover, despite of his cute image i hope people won't undermine and think less of him because of it. he's actually very mature in situations where even his members were having a hard time emotionally. he cried a lot during his trainee years so he matured in that aspect and (i hope) he got better at handling his emotions on his own. (or with his other support systems like his family). btw this is just how i perceive him as a big fan of his so take this with a grain of salt as i don't know him personally. but as his fan i just want all the best for him and for more people to recognize and appreciate him.

man you should watch jessi's showterviews... react or not its just fun to see her ...

"maybe that's just me being old." nah, I'm 17 and 🤝

Hey max thanks for the video. If you watch txt moa campus you can understand more about the relationship between the members. If you would react to that i would appreciate it.

Since you have watched Jessi's Showterview with TXT and you've already watched ATEEZ on ELLE, I'd highly recommend you to watch ATEEZ on Jessi's Showterview as well! Good thing is, that Mingi, the 8th member who was on hiatus is back, so you can see the group dynamic as a whole and you'll see that Wooyoung is not that quiet. xD

If confidence was a person, it would be TXT.

yess i was waiting for this video!!

Huening Kai is really from Hawaii. He was born there

Her interview truly show a different side of idols ! You should try to watch ateez interview with her

i love txt so much i love your vids, it's so interesting and i like to learn, thank u! pls if u want do more of them, (maybe with a korean interview, i'll let you here some of their best, bc i feel they're more natural, honest and not that scripted if u know what i mean). being a fan since their debut (2019), everything you said trough your vids reacting to them it's trueee! each one of them are unique and amazing in their own way, members said soobinie is very caring like a mom with his sons and that they relay to him the most when they feel down and need to talk, they all trust him so much, he is called our healing home by the fandom, the members also said he has a good like mental health or way of thinking so he always sees the good in things and knows how to take care (of him and others); taehyunie is always learning trivia and stuff about the world, they call him ''the right arm'' of soobin, like the second leader, i read all the time comments by moas (their fanbase name) saying that they're impresed by how well and honest he speaks and sends what he wants to say, you can see in their lives for ex. he always worries all the members gets attention or chance to speak, he lets they know he hears them, but he also has this side of him that's still a kid and like to play around, he's very mischievous (along with the youngest, bg and hk); beomie is called ''the mood maker'' and ''the energizer'' of the group, by himself and by moas, he is know to bicker his members a lot (esp yeonjun) but also to make them laugh much more, they said he makes them happy naturally, just by being himself, and like u said he has this big presence and duality (on stage too), but he's not only the loud one, he's very sentimental and likes to sit down and chill out and open with his fans about his honest feelings; yeonjunie is always seeing as the embodiment of ''love yourself'', bc he's very proud of himself (as he should not for nothing he's called the ''4th gen it boy'' and ''bighit legendary trainee''), he's very goofy and dramatic but cares about other people a lot and makes sure everyone's taking care of themselves, he never stoped being humble (they all are) and grateful with the things he accomplishes, and actually his 4 younger brothers respects him a lot as and idol and as a person to learn; and hueningie is the ''sunshine'' as u can see, the maknae (youngest), ''the baby'', often pranks and cheats his members, and laughs a lot and very easily (and makes everyone around him laugh too), but he's very mature and professional with his work (and passionate), he's very affectionate and lovely to everyone and open minded. as you deduced they all are very caring and sweet to one and other, with their own lways and ove languages, and respect each other a lot, they feel like a family. also if u're curious their personality type, if i'm not mistaken, are: hueningkai - mbti enfp, enneagram 2w3 yeonjun - mbti enfp, enneagram 2w3 beomgyu - mbti enfj, 4w3 taehyun - mbti estp, enneagram 5w6 soobin - mbti isfp, enneagram 9w1 sorry for my english!!! i tried to explain myself the best i could haha here's some other interviews or clips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81_vmDsMZjc.html&ab_channel=%EB%AC%B8%EB%AA%85%ED%8A%B9%EA%B8%89-MMTG ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f_-mQKXyhcE.html&ab_channel=DIVEStudios%2F%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%B8%8C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%9C%EB%94%94%EC%98%A4 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zA0bETLVxLg.html&ab_channel=1theKOriginals-%EC%9B%90%EB%8D%94%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%98%A4%EB%A6%AC%EC%A7%80%EB%84%90 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dx9IULUpmEE.html&ab_channel=RollingStone ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wkXWeEeLJJ4.html&ab_channel=Seventeen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zuaf7_lY-_c.html&ab_channel=1theKOriginals-%EC%9B%90%EB%8D%94%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%98%A4%EB%A6%AC%EC%A7%80%EB%84%90 if u read all this thank u so much

you seem very interested on leaderships and all, i’d recomend you to watch ENHYPEN’s (another group from HYBE) video where they show the process of choosing the group leader!! it’s cool to see how they consider a lot of skills before naming someone for the role :D

PLEASE REACT TO TXT MOA CAMPUS NEXT

Beomgyuables 💜

soobin already took the mbti test and he's an introvert for sure, i can't remember his mbti exactly tho, and also he's actually known as the charismatic leader

You'd probably like to watch all the idols falling for Soobin when he was the Music Bank MC :)

I really like your analyze,and I also really hope you can react seventeen's videos!

Thank you for reacting !

I know a lot of people like this interview and it IS funny. I love Jessie! Tbh it made me a little uncomfortable because I could see that they were often embarrassed due to being put on the spot to do something very specific while being entertaining. I still learned a lot from you reaction. I finally understand what exactly Soobin does to make him so popular as a MC. Before Soobin became MC, Music Show interviewers in korea were rarely talked about because it all strictly follows a script (including reactions) but many idol have said how comfortable he made them and how cute he was. He really shows great appreciation and respect to the idols. If you want to react to another Txt interview, I recommend this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81_vmDsMZjc.html By MMTG with Jae Jae as MC. It's mostly them talking about situations they have been in and how they would act in specific hypothetical situations and how it is linked to their MBTI.

Can you react to txt soobin mc other idol and also enhypen

とても面白かったです

Hope you can react to their another interview "Sometimes Your Heart Hurt" by Heat. They also had such genuine conversations and they're all adorable.

Ateez did an interview with jessi too..it will be fun to watch it

Yesss I love this interview with TXT! If you are accepting requests, can you please react to Got7, especially Jackson's, communication skills? Thank you.
