’ll leave a short summary in the first comment for those who don’t like long posts 🙈, but I NEED to get this off my chest because I’m honestly OBSESSED with this video. Most of you probably saw on Twitter the hug Bang Chan gave to an Italian girl in Madrid (who later turned out to be a boycotter). That one went viral, but honestly, that hug felt cold and pure fanservice: very little eye contact, kind of mechanical, forced smile, and his body didn’t even turn fully toward her. But there’s ANOTHER hug, the one that spread more on TikTok/Instagram (with a fan named Erika), and for me it’s the most genuine interaction I’ve ever seen from Chan with a fan. I don’t get why it hasn’t blown up more, because it’s honestly the sweetest thing. Why do I say this? Because I’ve analyzed it through body language and non-verbal communication (I’m a psychologist and this is my thing 😅), and this video is full of tiny gestures that make it so clear it was natural and genuine. 1. Among many fans asking for water, he focuses only on her, points at her and throws water just to her. 2. He keeps watching her reaction while smiling (which he normally doesn’t do, he usually just sprays and moves on). 3.He takes a step back, comes down from the stage, never breaking eye contact with her. 4. He opens his arms, ignoring the fact that she nervously extends her hand (thinking he’d just shake it). 5. He fully wraps his right arm around her and leans his body into her (important detail: he moves toward the fan, not the other way around). 6. With his left hand he also grabs her arm, reinforcing the contact. 7. Another fan tries to pull his arm away, but he insists and still hugs her close. 8. When he pulls back, he doesn’t just leave like usual—he’s still smiling, holding her arm and keeping eye contact while moving away. From a psychology/body language perspective, this kind of behavior shows comfort, spontaneity, and a real instant connection. I’m not saying “romantic connection,” but clearly something about her stood out to him and made him want to prolong the interaction. That’s why it shocks me that this video isn’t way more viral. Every STAY should see it—it gives us hope that these genuines interactions can actually happen! I even thought about making a TikTok comparing the two hugs (the “fanservice” one vs. this one), because the difference is so obvious. But I’m worried the girl might get hate (I already saw some negative comments on her video, which makes no sense because literally ALL of us would have loved to be in her place). Anyway, I’m obsessed. From a body language point of view, this video is gold and I had to share it with you all 🥹. submitted by /u/lynnxry [link] [comments]
