17:31 The thing about the vacation house metaphor that got me is Lee Know saying “it’s not something you need”. Because a vacation house isn’t something you need but most people want one. Lee Know wouldn’t die without Han but he’s better off with him than without him.
I love that analogy too. Having someone that you want in your life and not really “need” means that you are a confident and independent person and still want this person in your life.
10:05 Your excitement watching Minsung is so relatable! I think that's why so many people enjoy their relationship; they know themselves and they know each other enough to maintain real, meaningful relationships (which is really what we all want deep down).
18:18 It's SO funny that you and your mom mention Minsung is like a married couple because, when asked by a fan if he was single, Han once said he's married to Lee Know.
Bangchan asked Han during Chan’s Room “Isn’t this your husband?” showing Han a pic of Lee Know when they were asked if they had husbands yet. My favorite was the fans that have asked Han if they could marry him and he always says he has to ask Lee Know, who’s probably going to say no.
"It's so wholesome" says Max's mom, while making a very sweet video with her son because she wants to spend time with him and learn about what he's interested in 😂 Wholesome indeed! 💙💙💙
Han & Lee Know have a special and lovely relationship and I'm glad your mom can see that. I just want to say 1) I think it is just lovely that your mom is so supportive of what you are doing, and 2) she has such a genuine and open spirit it's refreshing.
Han has said in the past that he and Lee Know don't even need to talk, sometimes. They just have a deep understanding of one another. They can sit in the same room but doing completely different things, and not speak at all. Then one or the other will decide it's time to go, and just leave. And they are completely comfortable operating that way. They're sharing the same broader space, but not intruding on each other's personal space. I think of them as being linked together in a warm, comforting way, but without being tied together in a restrictive way, if that makes sense.
It's the same with me and my bestie. I could never make friends till the age of 17 because I couldn't really connect with anyone. I always got this feeling that I didn't fit in. Then we met. Although we had been in the same class (different classrooms) for almost 6 years, I suddenly became aware of her presence. She got me like know one else. I am more of a listener than a speaker, so I just used to listen to her without much talk. Often we would sit together for hours without speaking a single word. To everyone, it felt weird, but that's what made me comfortable and feel worthy of love and friendship. She short of gave me another reason to live just by sitting quietly beside me.
They are special! In my opinion their bond is even more special when you know the other dynamics how they are with other people. Lee Know saying Han is his vacation house ON-camera was a big deal - this was pretty open for Lee Know style.
In my opinion "healthy married couple" describes Han and Lee Know's relationship very well. Not because i think they are romantically envolved but more because of what such a marriage stands for. It's about trusting the other person and about knowing there won't be any judgement for anything. It's about knowing one self and the other person to a degree where you don't need to talk to understand each other. It's about enjoying each others company even if you don't do anything special. It's about how you can completely be yourself, you don't have to fear anything because you know you will always have each others backs. Minsung often say something along the lines of "we don't care about each other/are not interest in each other" which to me does not mean that they are not interested in each others lives but i understand this in a way that they don't always have to be together or talking about their realtionship. They know what they have in each other and don't have to discuss it all the time. I just admire and envy their soulmateship so much, i think it's something a lot of people crave 🩷
Yes! It’s like it the one Two kids room episode where one of them asks “do you think we’re still soulmates” and the other says “true soulmates don’t have to ask themselves that question”
Han's love language is words of confirmation and Leeknow's is acts of service. They both have different ways of showing each other love, and Han's care shines through in interviews like this because he's very vocal about Leeknow. But Leeknow's is more in the everyday life, like checking up on Han when he's anxious. He got him an acorn as a gift because Han is supposedly a squirrel. Also, he's super touchy with Han as well - the way they fall back together like magnets in every group picture.
I think that the thing you said about submissiveness kinda goes both ways, but in different things. They are very balanced in this topic to me. I think han takes the lead in situations like the video, since leeknow is not good at talking obout himself, and han is a genius with wording his thoughts. I think Leeknow takes the lead in a more practical and private way, you will see it in videos where they do more physical stuff, like han does the conversation, leeknow does the "action" in a sort of way Also han hides certain sides of himself in public, things that you cannot notice in this type of video, like leeknow once said han takes in a really tiring social role within the group, he is the moodmaker but in private he doesn't really like to have this kind of pressure into himself, he gets overwelmed, he often says that he wants to hibernate lol, so I feel like he definitely lets himself be softer and vulnerable with leeknow aswell, and the thing about leeknow is how caring he his with han, you can see it in more "hidden" moments, he notices when he's unconfotable and anxious, asks him if he's okay, reassure him and tells him to stop doing things like shaking his legs or stopping them for him, giving him directions. Or also, he laughs at his mistakes, scolding him and han instead of feeling bad for the mistake finds it entrateining and lets him take care of the "fragile" part of him that he tries not to show in public. He called him his own axienty pill once. They really both let their guard down with each other, just for han is more private
it's nice to see you bringing your family to these reactions because, firstly, from their insights, it's very easy to see why you chose to do what you do in life, and secondly, it shows how much they support what you do which is great. i love that you focused on how well Lee Know and Han know each other. also, your mom's comment about the natural intimacy they share was spot on. the same thing about how mature and open their relationship seems to be for such young men. i'd say all of them are more mature than your average 20-year-olds because of the industry they grew up in. but for Han and Lee Know specifically, they got close from the start and it's been years for their relationship to grow and mature with them. so they really give off old married couple vibes who know each other by heart. we know that Lee Know has a hard time diving into deep topics and serious conversations. he usually deflects by joking and admits himself he doesn't like to overthink/overanalyze - just goes with the flow. but here he was trying to stay serious as much as he could because he saw that Han was serious. he may be not as outspoken as Han with his beautiful metaphors about trees and air but him saying Han is like a vacation house to him is already huge for Lee Know.
I've noticed that Han, Lee Now and Hyunjin have several introverted characteristics in their social dynamics and I find it interesting because it is similar to my dynamic with people I call friends. In our established social circle we are very open and engaging because we feel safe. Being safe to express our true selves without fear of judgement is very important.
25:57 There can be so much toxicity in the KPOP world, but your mom recognized immediately the positives! And many of the reasons why so many of us enjoy the world of KPOP and KPOP idols. Thank you both for taking the time to react to Minsung!
I've been watching max channel since he first started reacting on skz. I remember when he at first was struggling to understand leeknow. It was pretty funny to watch him keep guessing leeknow personality and got it all wrong a lot 😂 but now, he knows leeknow pretty well and his take on leeknow i think are really spot on. Good job.. we all know leeknow is not an easy person to get, which is why sadly he got misunderstood a lot. So it feels good to watch ppl who can understand him
I love when everyone says "I'm not saying they're a couple even though they act like one"- oh you can say it lol all of them are aware of the connection/energy Han and Lee know have so is like a running joke that they're not so secretly dating lol
i think the funny thing about these videos is that its so much deeper bc the subtitles dont do them justice, the way they speak to eachother is on par with a married couple. they even call eachother “honey” the majority of these videos but the captions just translate it as “you”
I'm not Korean so I can't speak for the truth of the culture, but some Korean channels I've watched have spoken about "skinship" between idols and the opinion I see often is that idols (and celebrities in general, I guess) especially play it up for the fans (fanservice). Non-celebrities say it depends on how close they are with the other person, but that skinship between men isn't as common or as intimate as idols make it seem. There's levels to it, I think? Levels of playfulness, touching, etc. and I think as you said in the video, there would normally be some pushback or submission in some way. When it's genuine like with Lee Know and Han, I think it's a testament to how truly strong their relationship is, whether that's purely friendship or something more. I think it's fair to assume that they really do have some sort of soulmate connection, in that they vibe so well together. There's clips out there that point out different, subtle moments shared between them, like Lee Know gently calming Han down when he's exhibiting anxious behaviors, or Han checking in with Lee Know to make sure he's included. In either case, they are very lucky to have each other. :)
(Lee Know's tiny English) SURPRISE! No, but really. I was so excited to see you and your mom again --- this time with Stray Kids! I look forward to hearing both of your thoughts on this 2Kids Show.
I love Minsung. So much trust and intimacy between two guys who are a bit weird in different ways 😂 but who really, really get each other. I love watching them, especially when Lee Know gets soft eyes looking at Han 💙 It was really neat to hear your Mom's perspective on things I've stopped noticing - like the way they support each other without jealousy, the hand on the knee.
i always love watching your analysis on stray kids!! as someone who's kept up with their content for a long time it's so cool to see it being broken down like this. your dynamic with your mom is so cool, too!
17:55 they ALWAYS do that btw. in almost every picture or video of stray kids, han and minho are standing together and toughing each other in some way. it's very sweet
"They also know THEMSELVES well""He likes WHO HE IS and I think they appreciate each other for WHO THEY ARE." So deeply touched by your comments. You two interpreted not only Minsung relationship but also all wholesome relationships (with ourselves and others) SO ACCURATELY. Learned a lot❤
the amount of compliments han is receiving here is so refreshing, he deserves it so much..! he deserves the wolrd, it’s so nice to hear all this from a person who doesn’t know han that well but still gets him asap. he’s that loveable and good spirit, and i hope he knows that.. WE LOVE HAN SO MUCHH !!!
So real, him and lee know are my biases and it's so nice to see han get such genuine compliments and just them being analysed like this give me so much more insight on their relationship, that entire Two Kids Show episode was definitely my favourite ❤
Thank you Max and Max's mom for this reaction! It was so insightful, plus it really ticked off most, if not all the points I would have said about Minsung too! It's so great to have a third-person perspective on this too. I think another thing about Lee Know is that he listens very carefully and pays real close attention to Han. If Han is a good speaker for the pair, Lee Know is a good listener. They complement each other so well. In this episode, Lee Know is seen to speak when he is spoken to, which is a sign that he doesn't let his thoughts take over a conversation. Han takes over the conversation because Lee Know lets him. This takes me back to the old Minsung 2 Kids Room episodes because Han mostly leads the conversation and Lee Know follows. This means that their dynamic is constant throughout the course of the years. Usually with time, dynamics between people change with growth in personalities, but in this case, it hasn't changed at all. This just shows how stable the relationship is, that no matter what growth they see in their own personality development as individuals, there is a mutual understanding between the two when they are together. This episode is very different to the older ones because there was a facilitator of the conversation which happens to be the MC or Changbin here. It may have been intentional on the part of the company to get more conversation out of them for the content, yet nothing seems to have changed. Interesting duo! Truly an interesting duo! Also if you have made it this far into my comment, would really love to see your mom react to more Skz content! Please do release the Gods Menu and Maniac performance reactions on YT! Would mean a lot! 😭
I found out Stray Kids because of Felix, but I became a Stay for Han Jisung he's an all rounder artist with such a pure soul. And of course Minsung stole my heart I love them all so much. Thank you for the reaction! Much love.
Absolutely loved this analyzation of 2 Kids Show! You guys have such good communication and great ways of dissecting this duo! Would absolutely love more reactions with your mother in them, she has such a lovely aura, beautiful smile, and intriguing point of view! ♥️
I wonder if the fact that the leader and Felix were brought up in Australia influenced that difference in relating to each other. You often see Bang Chan making sure the youngest is seen too first, which is more of an Australian thing.
out of the two han is definitely the poet and charmer words are his weapon and lee know not only is a dancer but hes a S type hes a sensor he likes to experinece and demonstrate and often times words are his last resort unless he specifically wants to use that mean of communication (rare) and this goes for everyone including fans lee know will dedicate so much time and hand make gifts for hundreds of fans... but he will SO RARELY go easy on us verbally and we know to expect jokes and playfulness
10:58 listening to Mom saying all this from an outsiders perspective and it being so spot on! I love how transparent these two are with the love they have for each other ❤
this is why i stan stray kids, not only i can only connect with them thru their music since they’re self-produced artists, but also bcs of how genuine their dynamic is with eo and with fans.
24:20 Yes we would love more Max and Mom reactions---an ongoing series if anything! I think it's interesting to hear your mom's new perspective and your refreshed perspective.
"Their relationship is better than most marriages" - the realest thing anyone has said about Minsung. Seeing you guys break down how wholesome their relationship is makes me feel nostalgic for this type of friendship even though I've never had one like it. Like damn, Minsung really is setting the bar high and how does anyone ever reach that?
i love this so much, i appreciate how much you’re invested into skz and their dynamics also your mom is so pretty and her way of analysing the conversation is amazing really!
I really enjoyed your Mom's point of view. From this it looks like you two probably have some great conversations. Glad she got to see Minsung. Honestly those two on screen always bring a huge smile to my face.
I really enjoyed this video with your mom, she seems like such a lovely lady and I enjoyed hearing her perspective on Han and Leeknow. I'm here for starting a channel with her and doing more of these videos together.
It is so easy to see how much genuine love Minsung has for each other, their connection is unique and it is lovely you picked up on that and how comfortable they are with each other. Whatever their relationship may be it is lovely and it is an inspiration to us all. Would love to see your thoughts on the live song-
I love your commentary! You both make such great points and bring so many interesting ideas :) I love Han and Lee Know’s relationship and I appreciate how careful you were analysing this episode
As a "westerner" it is still something that I am trying to accustom myself too... It was a little unusual (but wonderful!) to see frequent physical contact between same-sex idols, especially when I realized I didn't have to worry about any bullying/macho defense mechanisms. Your mom hit the nail on the head with the remark about female relationships... these men are very open and caring and supportive, without "worrying" about how it may look to others. I bet that's why it is so easy to be drawn in to them as people, aside from their professional skills!
Okay why is this video something I never knew I needed until I got it! You and your mom are sweet so this was really fun and warm. Tell your mom we’d love to see more of her!! You too Max🤣 Great analysis from both of you guys, have me hoping for more
I loved your mom's thoughtful insights!! It's so funny seeing how similar you guys are in your analysis and discussion x) I also loved how excited you got about han LOL Han is my bias as well so I totally get it, but Lee Know is definitely my 2nd favorite! Even if he's not as good at talking about his feelings as Han is, I think he has his own ways of showing it, like through his metaphors and the way he reacted so genuinely to all of Han's praise. Just the fact that Lee Know wasn't jabbing back at Han shows how much of a soft spot he has for him, it's so so sweet and special to watch.
Han suffers from REALLY bad anxiety & has had to take a leave of absence because of it! Lee know might be quite during this interview, but if you watch more videos, you'll DEFINITELY see, he's VERY possessive of Han!
Great role models indeed. Not just to younger people, but even to older stays like me. I have learned so much from these guys, all 8 of them actually. Loved hearing your mum's thoughts on their relationship. Very interesting to watch and listen to. Yes to your own channel! Lol
It's so heartwarming listening to your analysis of the Kids. These guys (as many other Kpop idols) have gone through many difficult times together. But the way in which they support and truly love each other is really unique. They're a family ❤❤
Your Mom is so smart and articulate! Pleasure to listen to .She pinpoints such interesting things. Thank you, for visiting Max channel ☺️ Please come more in the future.
This was really cool to have you do with your mom. It is exciting to see that even outsiders can pick up on just how special their relationship and love for each other is. I have been a STAY since the start and, as such, pretty much the start of their relationship so I have seen it grow to be this grand over the years myself. Truly role models, as you said, for a lasting, healthy relationship that we all hope to have in our lives
I think Han is the only person who understand Lee Know. And vice versa. I saw them at VMAS. Lee K was behind Han like when I was younger, I walked behind my mom. Even Han is introvert and believe or not the shyest member in stray kids, Han was giving Lee K his hands, like I’m here for you. Oh, my God .. That broke me for a while ..
Sometimes we become so entrenched in their world that we forget how truly unique and special their bond is! especially when an outsider catches on to how much they love each other right away LOLL
They respect each other space ❤that really good .That make their friendship stronger ❤❤Han knows Lee know really well... Han is my favorite member for him. I follow stray kids .My favorite rapper ,singer ,ssongwriter #HanJisung .I love his personality ❤I wish him the best always ❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰I think a good follow up is either 1. Another clip of Han/Lee Know like 2 Kids Room Or 2. Another clip with only one of them and a different member so she can see the difference in relationships. Ex: Lee Know/Changbin
BTW, I have really been enjoying the videos with your mom. She has great insights, like you. And she's just a very comforting presence. ❤ EDIT: Watching this again, and I noticed something..... When your Mom is speaking and makes a great observation about something, you look SO proud of her. That warms my heart.
wow I'm so amazed by your mom's interpretation cuz they're so deep and sensitive. It provides some unique perspective from females. I reallly love your ma❤
I loved this reaction so much!!! I loved the comments your mom made, it's very entertaining to see you both react to skz!! She did such a good job haha
I love your mom ❤❤❤ Thanks for this Max, I love your analysis everytime ❤. Because of your channel I appreciate the kid's dynamics more. looking forward to more analysis with ur mom ❤
We need more mom wathing stray kids! She's truly lovely and warm and I appreciate your relationship that blossoms into those nice and interesting episodes
I was so happy to see you made a reaction to this episode and so wonderful to hear your lovely mom's perspective as well. Missing is so sweet and definitely great role models.

I love your reaction please react to twice's I got you mv teaser 😍🔥👑
Could you please react to the new Recording ROCK-STAR video from Straykids?
"Their relationships are better than a lot of married couples have" SO TRUE
yes i agreed
Not them calling each other husbands all the time on lives though
@@Hotgirlenergy and soul mates 🩷🥢💚🫶🏾
@@jellyfish_bubbles and now jisung introduced himself as lino's boyfriend lol
Not max getting the ENTIRE FAMILY on minsung😭😂😂WE SEE YOU MAX!!🤣keep it up!😂😂
Hahaha gettin the whole family involved here
Exactly what I was thinking 😂😂
family that minsungs together STAYS together
its really funny seeing max so excited to talk abt skz with his mom! I can clearly see he's like "i like this a normal amount" just like meee
There’s actually a video about Han having a PhD in “leeknow-ology” bc of how well he knows him😭💀
Han has Lee know’s underbelly. Lee Know has no facade or fence when he’s with Han.
And also they are more relaxed bc it’s Changbin who’s asking the question and it’s not someone they have to pretend
17:31 The thing about the vacation house metaphor that got me is Lee Know saying “it’s not something you need”. Because a vacation house isn’t something you need but most people want one. Lee Know wouldn’t die without Han but he’s better off with him than without him.

8:20 Your Mom recognizing Minsung's relationship is so wholesome. They really do have such a beautiful friendship 💘
I agreed
18:18 It's SO funny that you and your mom mention Minsung is like a married couple because, when asked by a fan if he was single, Han once said he's married to Lee Know.
Yea he’s called him his husband at least twice his boyfriend like three times and his girlfriend once or twice
funny

Non-celebrities say it depends on how close they are with the other person, but that skinship between men isn't as common or as intimate as idols make it seem. There's levels to it, I think? Levels of playfulness, touching, etc. and I think as you said in the video, there would normally be some pushback or submission in some way. When it's genuine like with Lee Know and Han, I think it's a testament to how truly strong their relationship is, whether that's purely friendship or something more. I think it's fair to assume that they really do have some sort of soulmate connection, in that they vibe so well together. There's clips out there that point out different, subtle moments shared between them, like Lee Know gently calming Han down when he's exhibiting anxious behaviors, or Han checking in with Lee Know to make sure he's included. In either case, they are very lucky to have each other. :)
(Lee Know's tiny English) SURPRISE!
No, but really. I was so excited to see you and your mom again --- this time with Stray Kids! I look forward to hearing both of your thoughts on this 2Kids Show.
I love Minsung. So much trust and intimacy between two guys who are a bit weird in different ways 😂 but who really, really get each other. I love watching them, especially when Lee Know gets soft eyes looking at Han 💙
It was really neat to hear your Mom's perspective on things I've stopped noticing - like the way they support each other without jealousy, the hand on the knee.
I need your mom in every episode. The dynamic between you two is so good! I loved this episode! ❤
Thank you!!
i always love watching your analysis on stray kids!! as someone who's kept up with their content for a long time it's so cool to see it being broken down like this. your dynamic with your mom is so cool, too!
Thanks for the message! Appreciate it
17:55 they ALWAYS do that btw. in almost every picture or video of stray kids, han and minho are standing together and toughing each other in some way. it's very sweet
"They also know THEMSELVES well""He likes WHO HE IS and I think they appreciate each other for WHO THEY ARE."
So deeply touched by your comments. You two interpreted not only Minsung relationship but also all wholesome relationships (with ourselves and others) SO ACCURATELY. Learned a lot❤
the amount of compliments han is receiving here is so refreshing, he deserves it so much..! he deserves the wolrd, it’s so nice to hear all this from a person who doesn’t know han that well but still gets him asap. he’s that loveable and good spirit, and i hope he knows that.. WE LOVE HAN SO MUCHH !!!
So real, him and lee know are my biases and it's so nice to see han get such genuine compliments and just them being analysed like this give me so much more insight on their relationship, that entire Two Kids Show episode was definitely my favourite ❤
Thank you Max and Max's mom for this reaction! It was so insightful, plus it really ticked off most, if not all the points I would have said about Minsung too! It's so great to have a third-person perspective on this too. I think another thing about Lee Know is that he listens very carefully and pays real close attention to Han. If Han is a good speaker for the pair, Lee Know is a good listener. They complement each other so well. In this episode, Lee Know is seen to speak when he is spoken to, which is a sign that he doesn't let his thoughts take over a conversation. Han takes over the conversation because Lee Know lets him. This takes me back to the old Minsung 2 Kids Room episodes because Han mostly leads the conversation and Lee Know follows. This means that their dynamic is constant throughout the course of the years. Usually with time, dynamics between people change with growth in personalities, but in this case, it hasn't changed at all. This just shows how stable the relationship is, that no matter what growth they see in their own personality development as individuals, there is a mutual understanding between the two when they are together. This episode is very different to the older ones because there was a facilitator of the conversation which happens to be the MC or Changbin here. It may have been intentional on the part of the company to get more conversation out of them for the content, yet nothing seems to have changed. Interesting duo! Truly an interesting duo! Also if you have made it this far into my comment, would really love to see your mom react to more Skz content! Please do release the Gods Menu and Maniac performance reactions on YT! Would mean a lot! 😭
I found out Stray Kids because of Felix, but I became a Stay for Han Jisung he's an all rounder artist with such a pure soul. And of course Minsung stole my heart I love them all so much.
Thank you for the reaction! Much love.
Mom should be on a lot more- she is great and you two have wondeful energy together
25:58 that touched my heart! your mom is right, they are great role models that's why i chose them as idols.❤❤❤❤
Absolutely loved this analyzation of 2 Kids Show! You guys have such good communication and great ways of dissecting this duo! Would absolutely love more reactions with your mother in them, she has such a lovely aura, beautiful smile, and intriguing point of view! ♥️
Thank you so much!!
Your mom smile is beautiful and comforting ☺️🥺💕
oooooh yes!
I wonder if the fact that the leader and Felix were brought up in Australia influenced that difference in relating to each other. You often see Bang Chan making sure the youngest is seen too first, which is more of an Australian thing.
out of the two han is definitely the poet and charmer words are his weapon and lee know not only is a dancer but hes a S type hes a sensor he likes to experinece and demonstrate and often times words are his last resort unless he specifically wants to use that mean of communication (rare) and this goes for everyone including fans lee know will dedicate so much time and hand make gifts for hundreds of fans... but he will SO RARELY go easy on us verbally and we know to expect jokes and playfulness
10:58 listening to Mom saying all this from an outsiders perspective and it being so spot on! I love how transparent these two are with the love they have for each other ❤
Mom is so real 😂'I'll adopt him' 😂😂
“Soulmates “ that’s the word
this is why i stan stray kids, not only i can only connect with them thru their music since they’re self-produced artists, but also bcs of how genuine their dynamic is with eo and with fans.
i LOVE when minsung says sus things and max look straight up to the camera lmao
24:20 Yes we would love more Max and Mom reactions---an ongoing series if anything! I think it's interesting to hear your mom's new perspective and your refreshed perspective.
lee know actually flirts more openly with han
Your mom is gorgeous and looks like your big sis! ❤
Love from Canada
Thanks 🙏 Love back to 🇨🇦
I LOOOOOOOVE it when you talk excitedly about minsung with your family
Your mother has a beautiful smile!
"Their relationship is better than most marriages" - the realest thing anyone has said about Minsung.
Seeing you guys break down how wholesome their relationship is makes me feel nostalgic for this type of friendship even though I've never had one like it. Like damn, Minsung really is setting the bar high and how does anyone ever reach that?
i love this so much, i appreciate how much you’re invested into skz and their dynamics also your mom is so pretty and her way of analysing the conversation is amazing really!
❤
I really enjoyed your Mom's point of view. From this it looks like you two probably have some great conversations. Glad she got to see Minsung. Honestly those two on screen always bring a huge smile to my face.
I really enjoyed this video with your mom, she seems like such a lovely lady and I enjoyed hearing her perspective on Han and Leeknow. I'm here for starting a channel with her and doing more of these videos together.
Your mom had many incredible comments! Thanks for inviting her :)
max cold sweating everytime his mom says 'couple' 😂 jk, great vid!
Your Mum seems really insightful and kind. It was lovely hearing her opinion
It is so easy to see how much genuine love Minsung has for each other, their connection is unique and it is lovely you picked up on that and how comfortable they are with each other. Whatever their relationship may be it is lovely and it is an inspiration to us all. Would love to see your thoughts on the live song-
9:01 SAMMEE THOSE THREE AND BANGCHAN
such a beautiful and wise woman!!
I'm just in love with all your mother's intelligence and elegance! Please bring more her and stray kids, I loved it so much ❤
I love your commentary! You both make such great points and bring so many interesting ideas :) I love Han and Lee Know’s relationship and I appreciate how careful you were analysing this episode
As a "westerner" it is still something that I am trying to accustom myself too... It was a little unusual (but wonderful!) to see frequent physical contact between same-sex idols, especially when I realized I didn't have to worry about any bullying/macho defense mechanisms. Your mom hit the nail on the head with the remark about female relationships... these men are very open and caring and supportive, without "worrying" about how it may look to others. I bet that's why it is so easy to be drawn in to them as people, aside from their professional skills!
Your mom is so wise! Beautiful reaction
Okay why is this video something I never knew I needed until I got it! You and your mom are sweet so this was really fun and warm. Tell your mom we’d love to see more of her!! You too Max🤣 Great analysis from both of you guys, have me hoping for more
I loved your mom's thoughtful insights!! It's so funny seeing how similar you guys are in your analysis and discussion x) I also loved how excited you got about han LOL Han is my bias as well so I totally get it, but Lee Know is definitely my 2nd favorite! Even if he's not as good at talking about his feelings as Han is, I think he has his own ways of showing it, like through his metaphors and the way he reacted so genuinely to all of Han's praise. Just the fact that Lee Know wasn't jabbing back at Han shows how much of a soft spot he has for him, it's so so sweet and special to watch.
Han suffers from REALLY bad anxiety & has had to take a leave of absence because of it! Lee know might be quite during this interview, but if you watch more videos, you'll DEFINITELY see, he's VERY possessive of Han!
Great role models indeed. Not just to younger people, but even to older stays like me. I have learned so much from these guys, all 8 of them actually.
Loved hearing your mum's thoughts on their relationship. Very interesting to watch and listen to. Yes to your own channel! Lol
your mom is gorgeous omg!
Your mom is a cool gal herself!!
It's so heartwarming listening to your analysis of the Kids. These guys (as many other Kpop idols) have gone through many difficult times together. But the way in which they support and truly love each other is really unique. They're a family ❤❤
Your Mom is so smart and articulate! Pleasure to listen to .She pinpoints such interesting things. Thank you, for visiting Max channel ☺️ Please come more in the future.
you are both so gorgeos omg. Max, your mother is STUNNING.
thanks for this reaction and i can't wait to see more!
thank you! ❤
I really like these reactions, I hope you can do more of this type with skz😊❤
it took his mom less than 20minutes of footage to see that minsung is a married couple
This was really cool to have you do with your mom. It is exciting to see that even outsiders can pick up on just how special their relationship and love for each other is. I have been a STAY since the start and, as such, pretty much the start of their relationship so I have seen it grow to be this grand over the years myself. Truly role models, as you said, for a lasting, healthy relationship that we all hope to have in our lives
I think Han is the only person who understand Lee Know. And vice versa. I saw them at VMAS. Lee K was behind Han like when I was younger, I walked behind my mom. Even Han is introvert and believe or not the shyest member in stray kids, Han was giving Lee K his hands, like I’m here for you. Oh, my God .. That broke me for a while ..
Please give me the link to watch it
love love love your videos of skz! and thankyou for bringing your mum along, she made such great points of the boys.
Thanks! Glad you love them!
I’m loving all your episodes with ‘Mom’❤ Han fascinates me the most too!
my fav. members in Skz :)
Sometimes we become so entrenched in their world that we forget how truly unique and special their bond is! especially when an outsider catches on to how much they love each other right away LOLL
No one can escape the charm of Stray Kids
your mom is so sweet and I loved this analysis !! I love minsung and your videos
They respect each other space ❤that really good .That make their friendship stronger ❤❤Han knows Lee know really well... Han is my favorite member for him. I follow stray kids .My favorite rapper ,singer ,ssongwriter #HanJisung .I love his personality ❤I wish him the best always ❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰I think a good follow up is either
1. Another clip of Han/Lee Know like 2 Kids Room
Or
2. Another clip with only one of them and a different member so she can see the difference in relationships. Ex: Lee Know/Changbin
Oh I love this video, thanks Max.
Love to hear it, my pleasure!
What a nice analysis. Thank you, mother, for your comments. I loved all your observations.
Ahh loved your mom ..loved the whole episode from what she said you'd think she's been a stay for years. lol
I realy enjoy to watch the way you & your mother react our Minsung 🥰❤
BTW, I have really been enjoying the videos with your mom. She has great insights, like you. And she's just a very comforting presence. ❤
EDIT: Watching this again, and I noticed something.....
When your Mom is speaking and makes a great observation about something, you look SO proud of her. That warms my heart.
wow I'm so amazed by your mom's interpretation cuz they're so deep and sensitive. It provides some unique perspective from females. I reallly love your ma❤
Bruh I love this so much mans got his whole family in to minsung❤❤❤😂😂
this is so funny knowwing how often skz refer to minsung as a couple...actually they refer to each other as soulmates and as "mine" often as well
I loved this reaction so much!!! I loved the comments your mom made, it's very entertaining to see you both react to skz!! She did such a good job haha
Glad to hear it :) Yeah she was awesome!
❤@@maxpbeaumont
