Our favorite uncle and psychologist is back!
True! ❤
Thanks for the warm welcome.
You are certainly not just any other BTS reactor. Your content stands out immediately. I love and appreciate how you use your distinguished expertise to help us through BTS. Thank you very much for your healing efforts Dr. Harley. 🙏
Thank you for ackowledging that. I try to bring a psychological perspective to BTS.
Hi, I always tell my grandkids that I am watching BTS in order to get my serotonin fix!😂😂
In the early years of BTS, the guys were either not treated well or were completely ignored by other idols/artists on music and variety shows and at competitions. Producer Bang Si Hyuk was very progressive in caring for BTS by providing counseling for them and by creating BTS's own show, Run BTS. PD Bang and his Big Hit team came up with these ideas that balanced the guys' work life with creative and friendly competitive play. The neat part is that mirroring did occur and fans watch Run BTS shows repeatedly to get a healthy dose of endorphins, too! As a silver ARMY, I can't play like BTS members play, but I feel their happiness vicariously. As fans, we try very hard to let them (and PD Bang) know the healing and happy effects their work AND play has had on us! Thanks for a great episode, Dr. Harley! Stay healthy and happy!
You stay well.
Hi Uncle Doc. This reminds me that the original slogan of Big Hit Records was "Music & Artists for Healing". Healing! A remarkable focus for an entertainment corporation!
As BTS gelled into a group and gained recognition, Big Hit began to produce "Run BTS" videos featuring the members playing games, solving puzzles, and just bouncing off each other. This was a genius move. It strengthened bonds between the guys, but it also drew fans into their world. We could mirror their happiness, and learned a lot about their personalities.
I believe a lot of Armys will say they received healing energy from this form of play. (It still feels weird to spell "Armys", doesn't it?🤔)
Western norms don't accept the level of touching that BTS share with each other, especially when it involves sleeping habits. I learned about "family style" sleeping arrangements from my Japanese in-laws. The whole family sleeps together on the floor with the elders in the middle, and friends sleep together under the same blanket. No big deal. We could rethink that.
I appreciate your reflections!
Thank you for explaining that.
I also watched another Korean entertainment show (I-Land; the competition series that produced the band Enhypen), and the guys in that show were also VERY affectionate toward each other. Often holding a hand or hugging to encourage another contestant! - It was VERY heartwarming.
Honestly, I fell in love with them because of their playfulness first before falling deeper in love with them for their legendary artistry.
Love everything uncle Harley discussed in the video!!!
Suga has mentioned many time in his own talk show that the members are all nice people! When they are together, they have fun! Suga said there are more funny moments than what we can watch online.
We all know Suga is honest and cannot fake his emotion. He had a rough and darker past but when he talks about his members, you can feel his joy and his face gets radiant. I believe he truly appreciates his members who have helped him through a lot of critical states of life.
Another thing uncle Harley did mot mention yet ( he might catch it when he watches more BTS videos) that BTS shares food with each other so often! This is something which is hard to fake and done naturally if not doing regularly. This is the strong proof that the bond between the BTS members is solid strong and close!!!
💜💜💜
In the future I plan on talking about sharing food. Keep watching.
@@harleyburke1461 definitely!!! So happy to see your response to my message! Looking forward to more of your videos!!!
💜💜💜💜💜
This was so interesting from a psychological standpoint, thank you! I just thought I'd mention that in the kpop industry, "skinship" a term used to refer to physical intimacy in Korean culture is encouraged among members. Displays of physical affection like hugging, holding hands etc. however, I do believe that the majority of the time, BTS are doing this genuinely. They've been together for over 10 years and they've said that they've spent more time with each other than with their own families. So from quite a young age they've been without their parents for long periods of time and I think it has been necessary for their psychological well being and has resulted in the strong bonds that they have with each other. In my opinion you can see when they're doing it for the public e.g photo shoots and when they're just being themselves, messing around and having fun
Great insight.
BTS were real a lifesaver during the isolation of covid. Each day they gave me reasons to laugh & generally made life bearable. I'll forever be grateful to them for the wealth of gifts they've given me. Today I try to spread that feeling to those around me. Life is going 90 to nothin, but I'm making the most of that time. Thank you for your time & explanations. Borahae
😂💜🎶🦋Their playful encounters are so joyful to watch and laugh with. And also they made a whole lot of money for working hard, having fun, and fulfilling their dreams and contracts!!!💜 Rock on Uncle 🥰
I'm pleased that you addressed the continual touching between the boys. They would normally have still been having a hug from their parents when they became trainees and were living far from home so could no longer have physical contact with their family members. They filled the gap with hugging and touching each other. It's particularly noticeable in Jungkook who left home so young, There are some lovely scenes where he is wrapped round J-Hope or RM like a Koala. Listening to Behind the Story those three rappers took on the roles of parent and teacher to the younger ones. Jin took the role of the dad/uncle telling dad jokes to keep up their spirits. Thanks Dr. Harley.
Hi can I ask where are you listening to their Behind the Story book? I have the book but I prefer listening to it tho lol is it an audiobook? Or is it someone reading the book in a podcast or something? Thank you! 😊
@@danievasquez3394 I bought the audio book on Audible so it has a professional narrator. It would’ve been great if the boys had narrated their own parts but then of course they would’ve had to translate them. What did you think of the physical book?
Your welcome. I appreciate your insights.
I've been talking about the importance of play for 20-30 years. 💜 Touch can be more difficult because of personal individual boundaries. I am a woman and I know other women that didn't like it when I placed a hand on their arm. 😥
You are correct about personal boundaries.
Thank you for sharing this video. Please read their book "BEYOND THE STORY" if you haven't yet. It tells the story of their 10yr journey as told by the members themselves. I think it would be nice to hear your insights about it.
I will.
I’d like to share a couple of book recommendations for you. You know that BTS did a two album series based around Karl Jung’s Map of the Soul. Well, psychologist Murray Stein wrote two books, one for each album in which he explores BTS’s interpretation of Jungian psychology. I found it endlessly fascinating, and I think you would also. I believe they are just called Map of the Soul: Persona and Map of the Soul: 7.
Thank you for your recommendations.
A quick comment to thank you for the subtitles included in your video. I usually automatically turn on the auto-generated and what a lovely surprise to see subtitles in the video itself. Thank you, Dr. Harley.
Your welcome.
I started with them with the BU and their music and I stayed with them because of the RUNs too. I not only learned more from them and had fun, but I also learned a lot about myself and also about techniques to do with my Spanish students. I personally love the RUN 97 too much.
I really like your observations. It is not easy to find a person who understands us and does not judge us 🥺
💜
Thank you.
Everything that uncle explains from start and up to this point 6:36
States why BTS is so much more desired beside their excellent talent and handsome looks.
Almost all Army will say that BTS saved them from some very bad and maybe dangerous places and that's as uncle is saying they genuine ways rub off on us.
Thank you uncle Harley for explaining.
🫰🏼🫶🏼💜
You are welcome.
Helping us understand why we love them so much as we ourselves learn to love.
Thank you, Dr. Harley! I've often thought that laugher is one of BTS's BIGGEST gifts to Army. {My 19 & 21 year-old sons & I sit down together and crack up at Run BTS episodes!) I've often thought that there's no way all these feel-good chemicals (all the ones you named, LOL) are NOT having a positive effect on our lives. I seriously think it's part of the Bangtan Glow-up. And thanks for reminding us how important play is in our own lives. This channel is such an asset to Army. 💜
I am glad that it is working for you and your children.
Dr. Harley, thank you for this. If you have time please see The Astronaut, live at River Plate, Argentina. The interaction betwen coldplay, talented Jin and fans is amazing and so positive.
I will try.
Thank you for reaction ❤ I love to watch BTS playfullness and hear their laugh - it really helps me feel better. I heard Korean men touch themselves more often but People from Korea should confirm if it is true. Men in Poland would consider men friend touch as gay. I love that you said so much about benefits of touch. Love from Poland ❤
Playful touching among men (or women) is pretty common in most Asian countries. Unlike in the west where it is deemed gay. That must be one of the many cultural differences between the east and west.
@@brendajmurphy thank you for information 💜
i would say it's common for idols.. most of korean men are not as touchy as bts🫠
Thank you. Different cultures have their own interpretation of touch.
So enjoyable to hear your thoughts and observations about BTS. It's a great addition to the rest of the online content about the lads. Thanks for this.
Your welcome. I appreciate your remarks.
Run bts is a brilliant idea.. Not only it promotes ideas but also allowed bts to play without restrictions.. Also the constant secret missions... ❤❤❤ what I love the most is how bts are very positively competitive.. What I mean is that they compete against each other but not to show the other person down but to just win... 😂😂😂 also they live in the moment.. ❤❤❤❤ I love their sharing and fighting over food... I think it's the best way to eat.. ❤❤❤❤ bts is a great psychological subject
They are very interesting young men.
@@harleyburke1461 I completely agree I always thought they should be studied seriously because their raise in the world and personality development have such complex elements to it and should be a great subject
My niece was really into K-pop, but I couldn’t get into it. Years later videos start showing up in my Instagram feed, and I was instantly hooked. I texted my niece and asked “Who is BTS, and why are these guys so comfortable touching each other?” They inspired me to learn about their culture; now I understand how natural it is for them, and I love their genuine affection for each other. I watch new and/or old videos of them every day, and they always make me smile and laugh. BTS has dealt with so many hardships and challenges together, I believe they have formed a true, enduring bond of friendship, love, and brotherhood.
Developing Run BTS (show) was initially for marketing purposes but thinking about all the moments and things they've gotten to experience together and the fun they've had and shared with us really is the TRUE value to the show. It's made them stronger as a unit and made ARMY love them more. You can't have BTS without the fun, humor and weirdness they show to us and we, in turn, have and share. Thank you for your content!
I'm in LOVE with your channel! I'm a 49 y/o Brazilian army, and watching your explanations is extremely satisfactory! Thank you for your content!
Thank you so much. I very much appreciate your kind words.
Your quiet observations are refreshing .When they were young, very young , leaving families and friends, play was fun to watch. They were told when to play,when practice, with mangers and cameras always watching there every move.Put 7boys in one room all with a dream, they will do what is demanded. They all had each other. Today as adults,watching how they paid the price for there dreams.You May wonder how can I share with you my feelings with you. My Family all grown, lots of grandchildren, never alone surrounded by family.In days of much loss,I heard a young man sing a song , with tears I was hooked. It’s changed the last ten years, after being confined and retired after leaving a job once loved. When they younger ARMY, families, Companies could protect. They are now Adult with there own dreams. As adults they are subjected to some criticism that you can see is very hurtful to all the brothers. Military obligations is expected by all,they are proud, and love there Country. I watch them grow and made History,hoping they all 7 know that someone that like you an me will encourage, never discourage. Time goes by fast. Life is a gift and , as individuals they deserve all that happiness in their, private lives as well as there professional life. Watch you and your nephew many times. With respect, I-Thank you ❤️🍀
Thank you for your sensitive words.
I know that being a content creator is very new to you but I really appreciate your hardwork in creating these contents. God bless your heart Dr.💜
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you Dr.Harley, for the beautiful insight video and tell the world that being playful, happy and touching in a good way is better for our mental and physical , can release all those toxic in our bodies . Please make more videos 😊 watching from Adelaide,South Australia 🎉
You are welcome.
Thank you for another amazing and insightful video Dr.Harley! Can't wait to see your future content!
I appreciate your kind words.
@@harleyburke1461 no problem man! Keep it up!^^
Thank you for taking notice of the playfulness of BTS because it’s one of the reasons ARMY derives so much joy from them, because they’re just so real and so adorable and funny
Very interesting!
I think Big Hit did something very smart by creating Run BTS (their variety show in which BTS play games), I don't know if it was done knowingly or not, but it certainly helped c:
BigHit created the RUNBTS program in direct response to the horrible treatment/non-engagement from the usual Variety Show/Media Programs dominated by the Big 3 Companies. RUN, along with Rookie King and their Vlogs, allowed a Direct connection between the Members and ARMY. 💜
I was ticking off everything as my degree was in Psychology nodding my head with everything you said and became aware I had a big smile on my face.
Glad I could make you smile--and think.
Hi Dr. Harley, I hope you would react to BTS BU series. I want your perspective as a psychologist since the inspiration of this series are the famous psychiatrist like Carl Jung.
I will look into it.
We love you Dr. Harley 💜 Thank you. I think a lot of us older fans have noticed this, but it's really nice to see it affirmed. They got me back in touch with my childhood in my early 30s when I was feeling burnt-out with work and my relationship at the time. If anything, they were a nice mental reset that brought me back to myself when I forgot who I was. And I'm just.. really silly and want to play in the yard. The clips you chose were fantastic
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for sharing your insights! 💜 There are lots of compilation videos of BTS laughing, or playing silly games, or hugging, etc. so ARMY can get straight to their "happy fix". This one has SUGA's perceptive quote during a solo filming project: "Bring j-hope. I need him or I'll be worn out." The video has 1.6 million views! "BTS's human charger, Hobi aka our little ball of sunshine :)" ... th-cam.com/video/3ChZoo7jKag/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing.
The only thing that worries me is that whilst maturing they have had their close bonds to support them. Now with members going into their Nationsl Service I hope the youngest members remain on an even keel. Having seen Jungkook in Suchwita recently...he seems to be doing really well. RM is very good at showing affection with hugs etc. He has created an environment where the members are very openly affectionate with each other.
I am sure they will miss each other.
SameSame, especially with Jungkook going from a Pack of 7 to Alone. I'm glad he has friends in other Idol Groups 🫂
Hello. Please-your subtitles can't be translated by Google. I don't speak English so I can't watch your videos, too bad. I am from the Czech Republic, I am 55 years old, I am looking for quality and serious videos about BTS and their philosophy. Be healthy.
I am having someone look into that matter.
thank you@@harleyburke1461
Great video! Thank you for posting.
You are welcome.
Dr uncle Harley, I'm glad you are back! I find your videos healing too, because you speak in a sincere endearing way about them, so, as BTS is our happy hormones boost, hearing your thoughts about it heal us too. They are special, I'm sure you noticed it, thanks for your videos, hoping to hear from you soon!
Also, thank you for the captions! ❤
Thanks for the kind words.
Hi, love watching them play! 💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜
My favourite video of yours
Thanks so much Max. That means a lot to me.
@11:00 Skinship is a normal aspect of friendship between Korean Men; however, according to someone with relatives in South Korea, it isn't equally encouraged with Women.
LGBTQIA aren't accepted in traditional South Korean Culture. BTS are among the forefront of those in the public sphere fighting to bring acceptance 🌈💜
I loved this video. I have been fascinated for quite some time at how the BTS members interact with each other with so much fun and physical contact. It was wonderful to hear an expert speak to that and share with us just how beneficial this behaviour is. Please keep the content coming. I really enjoy it.
Thank you. I will keep it coming.
Thank you.
Watching these boys makes me happy..
Bts is my stress reliever, I'm 53 yrs old
LOVE THIS SEGMENT....THANK YOU ❤
I appreciate that. You are welcome.
Really enjoyed your video, Uncle Harvey! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you.

This is an amazing video, thank you so much Dr. Harley
Thank you.
Thank you , Dr Harly
thank you for this analysis, very useful information
This was really insightful and enjoyable. I will definitely watch any other analysis of BTS.
I appreciate your interest.
Thanks U sir. Im interested in understanding my emotions and your explanations are giving me so much clarification and validation ❤.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Thank you.
Hello :) I have come to recommend something. I would love to watch a series of you analyzing The bachelorette/bachelor , and try to guess who will be the top 3 . And also the bad apples who may cause trouble .
Doing it after every episode would be awesome :)
Uncle Harley we all love you so much :)
Thank you.
I love your videos so much!
I learn a lot and also it makes my day
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
@@harleyburke1461 🥰
You could use the video where they negotiate a bit more food in exchange for them saying « like, comment, subscribe » :-)
In the meantime, I’ll drive the algorithm by watching your videos twice (or more).
would you please talk about V Taehyung of BTS? He is so unusual a person that I wonder what kind of personality inside of him makes him be so very rare. I've never known of a person like him. He is not afraid to be laughed at. He is so handsome yet he doesn't seem to be vain or have pride that makes him want to make sure he always looks handsome in front of the public. He is talented and smart, but will make himself look stupid one moment and brilliant the next.
Dr. Harley, I know this would be a touchy subject with ARMY but I have long thought that Jungkook and possibly V are what we in the United States would call "on the spectrum". I say this with full respect to both of them because many "spectral" people are geniuses (as SUGA calls Jungkook - even though he also jokes about JK's lack of literacy and possible dyslexia. ) As an RN of many years I've seen many behaviors that ARMY calls "shy" - which I would call "socially awkward" or close to Asperger's or ADD. I bet all kinds of ARMY are going to be mad at me for saying this and it is an invasion of BTS' privacy to speculate on diagnoses - but I really see them more as heroes or fine examples of how being different doesn't mean inferior.
Asian cultures value modesty, humility, and showing respect to elders which Westerners may see as shyness or awkwardness. JK and V are also the two youngest members, so they would defer to their elders in many situations. I agree with you that their unique personalities make for some fascinating times and moments of genius!
This cannot be determined without much diagnosis.
Tae, especially, is referred to as having a "4-D Personality" (not behaving within Traditionally Accepted Societal Norms of Shyness, etc) or "Alien". From the representation of Autism on Extraordinary Attorney Woo to other collected observations, I definitely suspect he's on the Autism Spectrum (Like Recognizes Like, after all) 😸
Jungkook's behaviors reflect ADD (stimming, zoning out, rabbit holing on topics of interest, etc).
Gracias por tanta reflexión dr.. Realmente no entendía porque tan solo verlos soy muy feliz y es porque ellos son felices.. Ellos son mi lugar seguro, de amor, de paz, de armonía, bts tiene todo eso junto para mi. De ser una señora de 50 años con depresión pasé a ser una señora de 54 años muy feliz.. Gracias por su explicación soy su seguidora fiel. 😊😊😊😊😊
Gracias por ser un fiel seguidor. Estoy feliz de que BTS haya sido tan importante en ti y te haya hecho una mejor persona.
Such a beautiful hearty content ❤
I really really enjoy the content of your channel. It's so informative and respectful. Such a blessing for ARMY 💜
Thank you.
For the past ten years, BTS have been my happy pills.
New to your channel and i Was watching all of your vedios throughout the day and I want to suggest another k-pop group to you tomorrow X together aka TXT🤗
Thanks for your suggestion.
Thank you .❤
You are welcome.
❤ thanks 😊
Oh, hello! It been a while since your last video. How are you doing ?
Thank you for asking. I am fine. It takes me a while to turn out my videos but I am working on speeding them up. I hope you are well.
🫶🏻💜
I’ve learned a lot thank you
I appreciate you say so.
Correct!!!Thats why I love them 💜☺️✨
1:58 where did you get that unseen vmin ( v and jimin)footage😮😂😂😂💜💜💜💜
I'm a 55yo ARMY and I'm watching this video while making a 1000 puzzle... Or maybe I'm working on my problem solving skills 😅
It is all good for the brain. Keep it up.
V just released a new song and I think you may like it😅
💗💗💗
Btsarmy forever
Thank you, Dr. Harley! We always get to enjoy your insightful BTS review and your free "Consultation " that comes with it. You're the best!😁👍
Very nice of you to say.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Yes, like so many others here, I fell in love with BTS as people first, before I really got deeply into their music. It''s kind of insane, isn't it? I think that is why we all feel we know them so intimately. We knew them as "playmates" and friends first, then we discovered how talented they are! At least, that is the way it was for me! Love your videos. I listen to every word and appreciate your wisdom!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your kind words.
2 mottos I live by:
1 - Never lose the ability to play as free as a child
2 - Give yourself permission to take an Unadulting day
Your mottos are great. You must be a happy person.
@@harleyburke1461 I am 56. Been thru quite a bit. It has taken me a while to be where I am mentally. I have figured out what my triggers are for the dark place and I have figured out what I can do so I don't continue down. Yoongi has said about his depression that it never goes away, it just comes in cycles. I agree with that.
