In God's Menu, they use cooking as a metaphor to talk about music, their musical identity, and how they are "master chefs" at what they do, mixing different ingredients to develop new flavors (new sounds). They say that by choosing something from their menu, you will never get bored, and the dish is always hot... They talk about not having a formula (after all, they don't need that kind of thing to deliver something good)... And I interpret the settings as metaphors for music as well. The kitchen and restaurant settings are the most obvious since the relation between food and music is explicitly stated in the lyrics. Then there is the laboratory setting, and laboratories are where we experiment, test new things - just like they experiment with their music, test new sounds... And the construction setting, where there is heavy machinery and things like that. I interpret this as a metaphor for the fact that they create their own music and the work it takes to create something. And then the racing setting, which is usually the one that confuses us the most without connecting well with the theme of the music, but to me, it is clear that it is to relate to the music industry (or K-pop if you want to be more specific), where it really always seems like a race, a competition. They even have other songs where they talk about competition and how they feel the pressure like a race to not fall behind, like in My Pace where they use race cars and talk about following your own pace and stopping comparing yourself to others around you. In God's Menu, they revisit this through the setting, but they seem more confident about their position in this "race". Anyway, for me, this song and the music video together are a masterpiece 😌🤌🏼 I loved the reaction 💕, your friends are fun, thank you for the video 😊. (Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language and trying to write is much harder than understanding you guys talking 😅)
The first time I ever saw God's Menu, I didn't think the car scene with Hyunjin was real - I thought it was green screen. Then I watched the making of God's Menu and got to see his reaction. I think Fernando would definitely enjoy watching the making video. I'm glad they had fun, I love sharing Stray Kids with others.
I feel like your friend Fernando would love to watch the making of SKZ videos. He definitely has a knowledge on Filming and he would definitely enjoy those vids. 😁
Hey! I just wanted to tell a little fun fact, which if you don't speak korean or chinese you might not know, but the title of God's menu was actually very well crafted, sort of like a pun or play on words. Because if you write it in korean, it'd be 신메뉴 (the pronnounciation is "shin menu") BUT, the cheeky thing is, in korean that means "new manu" (because of context). In korean, the word "신" or "shin" can mean "god" or "new" depending on the context or the hanja you associate to it (hanja being the chinese character that you equate the korean character to, this is because before the korean writing system was created, they used chinese characters to write it so each korean character has one or more hanja equivalents). And so, they purposefully chose to write the title with the chinese character for god, and then put menu in korean, therefore instead of the title meaning "new menu" (again, because of the context, that would be the pressumable meaning if they had wrote it all in korean) it ended up as "god's menu", haha
This is so interesting!!! I noticed that they always make puns in their titles but I had no idea where the word play was in Gods menu. Thanks so much for the explanation💕 skz always so smart and sneaky
I think you could watch maybe 3 mv in one video and not just one, because i love this company of friend they are so funny and nice so i would want to se more of their reactions
This is probably my favourite reaction of your channel and I've seen ALL of them (and participated in some 😝)!! I love the different perspectives that the guests brought. It's truly something that I would have never thought of...mostly because I don't have the film-making skills, but also because I'd be distracted (crying on the inside) everytime one of them appears on screen 😅
Oh you have good attention to detail! I will upload the reaction to the second MV they watched in a some days. It’s the one in the tiny sneak peek I put at the end of this video. I often break reactions in parts because I’m a slow editor 🫠
I don't remember where I heard it (I know it was skz) but i think most of the racecar shots are real! edit: im not 100% sure please correct me if im wrong
Me waiting for the expected reaction to Felix's deep voice and getting "Wow, he has amazing skin!" instead LOL
tbh SAME lol Bai Xu is one of a kind 😅
Lol I think everyone was expecting that but instead she reacted to his skin not his unexpected deep a** voice 😅
the car scene was in fact, real. It terrified Hyunjin lol

Oh wow this actually answers a lot of the questions we had in the video about some of the sets and costumes! Thank you so much for sharing 🤍
@@Valalalala The use of the construction equipment was also a joke on people who say their music is "noise" and sounds like a construction site!
@@saffroncake7 OHHHH sassy kids!! I love them even more now
thank god theres always a stay that will explain in every reaction videos.
The cooking as them cooking new sounds, they invented a new genre, it’s called “mala taste”

You should really show them the making of God's Menu

Hi guyss :)
Stray Kids is coming back with a new album "★★★★★ (5-STAR)" and lead single "S-Class (특)" out on Friday, June 2nd!
I came for the Felix jumpscare, but was greatly delighted that you were Venezuelan too 🫶 WE UP VENEZUELAN STAYS 🇻🇪 🆙
I wonder if he'd be impressed with Case 143 MV. Can you show them also the Making of Case 143? 😊
The car was real ❤️ They have behind na scenes
They dont use green screen so everything you see is a real location or an actual prop their team makes
Lay Lit there is a flying dragon ❤😂
I lovee seeing people react to stray kids, also off topic but Annika kinda looks like Max Verstappen

THIS is a real reaction, 😊 then stray kids, managed to get your atention ❤
The power of skz was too hard to resist 🤩
I think you could watch maybe 3 mv in one video and not just one, because i love this company of friend they are so funny and nice so i would want to se more of their reactions

Ja, die Rennwagen fuhren an Hyunjin vorbei - er war erschrocken wie laut sie waren.
