You know it's a good interview when Yoongi volunteers to answer questions

[mojojojo]

When yoongi starts to get comfortable answering questions, you know it's a good interview.

[kaninavy]

That smile Yoongi made when he realized that this is a real interview.

[yemaky]

Honestly, I get teary-eyed when I watch this interview. RM seems so surprised and pleased at the level of TRUE interest and REAL questions that matter. I can't expressed how appreciative I feel for Zach Sang.

[autumnkey]

Zach: "DO YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO LEARN ENGLISH?"
J Hope: YESS!!....A B C D E

J HOPE HAS ME DEAD AHAHAHHAHAA "

[melvas]

7:28 *"I think your the first one to ask about it"* YOU HEAR THAT *cough cough* reporters please ask real questions not just "whos your celebrity crush"

[jemieemely]

“You know us” the moment joon realized Zach actually genuinely did his research

[desarakaba]

1:08 i see namjoon understand this isnt an ordinary superficial interview like all those others they had to deal with. his smile says a lot.

[paromita]

RM was really impressed by Zach. He was thanking him again again for such thoughtful questions.😀

[xdjsmxv]

6:49 thanks Zach for telling them to keep using korean lyrics and not asking if they plan to make an album in english

[suman]

"Keep using Korean language"
Honestly at this moment, this statement brought tears in my eyes. At least there is someone who appreciated BTS's mother language & encouraged them to keep using it & not asking then to do an English cover, because that's freaking ridiculous.
Watching this after their interview with Zach in BBMA. I loved this interview so so much, I mean it's the best interview BTS ever had. RM looked so happy, actually everyone felt grateful you can see that in their eyes, that sparkling appreciation. This is how interviews should be like. Can't wait to see a big Bts & Zach interview.

Aw everytime Zach asks a question, I can tell Suga is trying so hard to understand and he really does! Sometimes he doesn't even need RM to translate, other members as well but Suga is doing amazing, can we just take a moment. They've learned so much English yayy👏🏼👏🏼

[kaffie]

I’m so happy that there is finally an interview that is about them and not all about being in America.

[silberkey]

Omg this interviewer is the best
1. He casually sits next to them and don't stand akwardly 1 meter away
2. He asks questions with deep meanings like, you know he is truely interested and thought about it
3. He asks questions that NOT EVERY INTERVIEWER ASKED BEFORE HIM
4. He compliments them in a nice and honored way, not like *aww you're soooo cooool*
I like him

[tiffanyc]

"You've made songs about going to school and being turned into studying machines" "yes, you know us!" omg.. zach was talking about N.O. era you remember the mv for N.O. that was the message)

[chimchimpark]

"keep using korean lyrics" what a man! i salute you zach not forcing them to do an english lyrcis album.

[HAPPY]

Interviewers need to learn from this man. They're more than just dolled up men who sing and rap on stage. They're human beings that are knocking down so many barriers to connect with others through their music and experiences. They're trying to make a change. And asking questions about their celebrity crushes is bullshit for all the hard work they've done since they've started.

[Comatexx]

you know the interview is good when yoongi is actually interested and happy

[munstercheese]

Everyone is talking about how good of an interviewer Zach, and I agree 100%

But is no one going to talk about the English captions??😂

[seojoonkim]

This interview is the freaking best interview that BTS had. Even in 8 minute short time, he actually scope all the necessary topic that relevant and important to be discuss in an interview. Zach really did a research and studied BTS and delivered the interview just right. It didn't have any repetitive and useless questions like other interviews. Zach is the real interviewer. You can see how interested RM and Suga to answer the questions and how happy they are when Zach mention about their UNICEF campaign. And I love on how Namjoon is shook and happy when Zach mention BTS's song 'N.O' by saying "going to school and turning into study machine". And my favorite part is when Zach said " My ask is always write your lyrics in Korean ". This interview cleanse all my cringe and my urge to slap someone when hearing/watching crap interview.
