Actually i laughed when he said that... Even HAN got so much hate in the fandom cause he always got the most line in every songs😅 i mean HAN deserved it, since predebut, he is already the most stable performer in live performance (rap, vocal, dance skill at high level)
@@melonapel49 I think he missed a lot of them, because he was focused on the member before or after him & paused on Hans lines. To prevent missing something I would recommend going 10sec back everytime you pause if possible.
@@luckycaster2435 A lot of SKZ songs Han raps with Hyunjin in the same verses and some songs they have a bit a same style and delivery. (i am a HAN ULT) but I love his Creativity!!! and at the start of their carreer (also because of the SURVIVAL SHOW) I.N. and Lee Know didn't get a lot of lines... and When Woojin left SKZ... SEUNGMIN and Han did an amazing job with covering all the HIGH NOTES! in the survival show they got some comments from JYP about HELLEVATOR is too HIGH for a BOYGROUP... so for MY PACE they even put the key higher for MY SPEED MY LANE MY PACE!!!!! and Han does allmost al the HIGHEST notes in SKZ songs! Because Han is also a singer he did get a lil bit less of the raps! please react to THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE and MAZE OF MEMORIES (also MY PACE and MIRROR special videos with OT8 lineup) For more rap Han watch I GOT IT (a Mnet disstrack) and CLOSE and ALIEN (animated version of the yt user Riel022) all three are Han solo songs and all are so amazing and Han loves emotional LYRICS!!!! For Han Seungmin I.N. Vocals please react to GONE AWAY (the acting in the video is amazing but the song is even better)
Fun fact : in "Awkward silence" when chan hit the camera is actually was not on the script.. he accidently hit it, thats why chan n other members looks so shock when it happened..Luckyly the director didn't cut the scene n it makes the MV look more fun to watch,
But Han literally has the majority of lines this era :') He has rap parts and singing parts as well. Maybe you did not realise that a lot of high notes in these songs were Han's
Lee Know has a great voice and his falsetto is beautiful. He and the others got a bit more vocal parts after Woojin left the group. Han and Felix birthdays are just 1 day apart, they both bring a lot of joy to the members and Stay often call them the Sunshine Twins.
Actually inside the fandom, HAN is actually known as the best rapper (along with Changbin), the best vocalist (along with Seungmin), the best performer (along with Hyunjin), even he isn't in danceracha, he still in charge being center on dance break in some songs, cause how good his dance/performing is... Ofc all members are allrounder talented, but HAN is known as the ACE in SKZ, they called HAN allrounder cheat key. Give HAN the most difficult rap, vocal, dance part, he'll excel it amazingly.. There's video called HAN JISUNG IS THE ACE OF ACES or LEE MUJIN SERVICE WITH STRAY KIDS HAN for more HAN vocal skill. Maybe you wanna do some HAN appreciation video 😊
Welcome to the world of stray kids where almost everyone becomes OT8 aka they just have the whole group as their bias because it’s so hard to choose. At some point
@@bookworm2much lmaoo. Honestly pretty much same. Have a bias line of chan Han Felix Seungmin IN then the other 3 are just wreckers continuously. IN only recently got added to the line because he wrecked me the most
I'm sure you'll get to watching "Miroh", but I also suggest you watching their stage performance of them singing "I'll Be Your Man". Its such a powerful performance. Always gives me chills.
In the beginning they restructured a lot of 3racha songs, so the parts fit those 3 very well. Later they started writing songs with the other members in mind, which in my opinion then makes them shine more. Han took vocal leason to write melodies that fit seungmins and IN singing style more.
Your comment at 10:35 (about how the rapping never ruins the vibe of the song, and presumably vice versa) is exactly what got me really into Stray Kids to begin with! I started listening to k-pop back in 2011 and eventually grew out of it as that was my main complaint with most songs/groups - the song could be really good and then there be a discordant rap verse that seemed shoehorned into it. And then when I heard Thunderous, I was so impressed at how well they all sounded together, like a cohesive song, that I instantly had to check them out more. Also thank you for appreciating Lee Know's vocals, even in these earlier MVs! He's been steadily improving throughout his career, and he recently had a solo track on their SKZ-REPLAY album called Limbo that really showcases how far he's come. I know you're working your way through MVs, but I hope you can eventually get to the rest of their discography too, including their solo works 😊 Lastly, I'm not sure if the website you're using includes Stray Kids' street MVs, but please make sure to check them out too cause they're so hilarious (especially N/S!)
this is one of the things I don't like about kpop! is like a raping part is a must so they have to fit it somewhere and most of the times is like "where the rapping came from? the song was good enough, why do they have to always add a rapping part?" at some point I understood kpop as soft poppy/EDM songs with a rap verse in the middle and synch choreographies and decided I don't like it. Then I joined my friend watching SKZ survival program and fell in love with them and their style that is defo not standard kpop and Korea rejected them at the start for this reason but I know a lot of IStays that don't like kpop and love the kids and their music which reinforces that they don't do kpop but a range of different genres that scream talent, this plus the fact that up to today I can't digest other kpop groups and I DID try (like BTOB are such cool guys and make objectively great music but sadly is not my taste)
Totally agree with this I am an old Kpop fan as well then stopped because some of the songs that I really like is ruined when a rap part is squished in just for it to feel cool or sound unique but most of the time it does not work and I hated it. The 1st time I heard SKZ I was surprise on how well they merge rap into their songs, even Never ending Story which they incorporated a rap part I was not turned off by it. It actually works. Stray kids is the only group I am actively listening now and I didn't really like other groups. Also Yes on Lee Knows vocals he is my bias for so many reasons and his vocals is on top of the list.
Lee Knows vocals are heavenly beautiful. And so are Felix's, you'd be surprised by how versatile his voice is. You should really listen to Deep end by Felix and Limbo by Lino if you want to hear more of them singing!
I love Awkward Silence! Chan’s lil heehee in the beginning is so great haha. When Chan hit the camera it was actually an accident but they kept it in the video!
Han's vocals are gold. Han has a lot lines in the earlier videos. He is a real ace. Also their maniac tour concert performance of district 9 is a must watch. It's so epic!!!!
So the main rappers in skz are changbin and han and the lead rappers are hyunjin and felix. 3racha is more of a producing unit but they obviously also rap. Chan is more known to sing in skz songs but raps in 3racha songs.
hyunjin is known for sounding quite crazy a lot of the time as well as doing his classic 'psycho' smile which we all love, also his growls which you hear a lot more when they perform live, especially in god's menu
Honestly I love how through this whole video you got more and more conflicted on who was your favorite member in different aspects! 🤣 You know you can just be an OT8 type of fan. That means that you literally cant pick a bias because all the members are surprising you and basically coming for you all the time. I definitely was an OT8 stan at first... Then my love for dance and preformance made Hyunjin become my bias from how he can take control of a stage when he dances.
32:25 fun fact chan was supposed to pretend push the camera away but accidentally actually hit it and it fit the concept so well that the director kept it so that worried expression is his genuine reaction to almost breaking a professional camera
if you're looking for felix singing I would recommend his solo called deep end! it shows how good his voice range is and it showcases his singing really beautifully
@@planetlix6462 LMAO HE LITERALLY SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF “i like that we’re hearing more of Felix singing” 💀 Just cause his focus is on others doesn’t mean he doesn’t like Felix smh. Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but still, don’t put words in others mouths🤷🏻♀️ I’m sorry if I come off rude
Han is multitalented He can rap, sing high note and dance Please reaction video of Han vocals,dance ,rap and writing song His visual is also memorising
Leeknow's voice is great, especially in Slump And it's so funny how you rearrange them after every mv. It's interesting that you compare Han and Hyunjin because they have a fight in the past because they had kinda same positions
Hyunjin has a unique pronunciation. Even when rapping, it's so sweet. 😊 If you listen to it, you won't mistake it for Han's voice. 😊 I can't wait for you to hear Side effect, Easy, and Victory song 😊
@@henriettadobi756 I somehow always recognize him when I hear him because of his pronunciation and because somehow I can't mistake his tone, whether it's soft or deep or rapping...
@@sifsis245 Exactly, for me watching a MV in one time can't be focusing in every thing like the members ,lyrics , transitions ,story but at least you can see the rapping of Han is lot as much as changbin
He's shining to you because you've watched every MV a million times. Tge member that stands out to you doesn't have to be the focus for everyone else. We're all individual people.
han is also a big vocalist in skz he can hit female notes so he does a lot of high notes and runs,so it’s very common for him to do vocals and other stuff, he also has a kinda deep toned voice not as deep as Felix’s ofc but yea OH and he is the one with the most line in most songs so youll see a lot of him😭
Its very arguable who is better rapper Han or Changbin. I feel like Han is overlooked as an rapper because he also sings a lot but that boy is a lyrical and freestyle genius...even Changbin said he used to look up to Han predebut, especially because of his freestyle abilities
Hell yeah, a fellow Lee Know enjoyer - he is a powerful performer and his head voice is very clean and beautiful. Han is good at everything and very versatile - you can give him any part of the song or performance and he'll kill it. They're by bias and bias-wrecker so... 😂 I would really recommend their Kindom performances because I think they showcase SKZ' talent well
If you wanna see more of han please react to “I’ll be your man” performance. It’s a competition where the other idols compete with each other for winning the legendary kingdom cup. FYI: stray kids won. Hyunjin couldn’t be on the competition cause he was on a forced hiatus because of the silly rumors of that time. So basically if you look at the lyrics they choose for their performance it’s like they singing it to hyunjin. It is one of the best masterpieces that they did I’m telling you.
If Awkward Silence was hilarious, can't wait to see you react to the street versions :) (there are couple of songs that don't have an officially filmed mv, so they've filmed it themselves - these are street versions)
I really appreciate you starting from their beginning of their journey, usually people just react to the most popular ones or only the ones viewers recommend to them and old ones don't really get recommended much. Their old songs have a really peculiar sound to them that I can't really explain. It's their experimental and raw phase it's how I would describe it. Right now they're still making amazing and quality music but in a much "matured up" way, while also keeping them relatively likable to everyone; I think most of the Stays can agree with me when I say their older songs are mostly not for everyone. But I'm honestly so proud of them, because you can listen to a recent song of them and go "Yeahh, this is an SKZ song."
Lee know is an amazingly amazing vocalist but like Seungmin is just on another level watch love poem kingdom version it’s Seungmin and two other vocalists it’s AMAZING and u can see a bit more of Seungmin true talent
You said it, it's impossible to pick a favourite song when they all are just sooo good. But still "awkward silence" and "get cool" (which you will come to listen later) are pure comedy and absolutely funny to watch 😂
Actually Han is officially considered as both since he has held both main rapper and main vocalistpositions before they did away with positions. He held Main Vocalist position from Oct. Of 2019 until they competed on Kingdom. Other than that.... yeah. I know it add confusion for people, but it's truly an important factor. Funny enough, during the Gods Menu comeback and on kingdom is where the post Woojin fans discovered that he was a rapper at all, because they thought that he was just a vocalist. Most of them had yet toccheck out oer Woojin leaving music because of how fast SKZ were coming out with new stuff. Lol Vice-versa... It's also where the fans that they made DURING God's Menu era and in the first few episodes of Kingdom, discovered that he was ALSO a vocalist, not just a rapper. Because they got to see him perform "I'll Be Your Man"... Meanwhile, is predebute STAY were like.. "S**t... Did we not tell you!?....Yeah, thats our bad everyone! We thought you knew!"
for watching all the mvs, it's probably useful to know (at least an overview) of the skz lore it's super confusing and mostly just theories atp you might notice (like in hellevator at the end) a city in the sky in some of the intros and outros, the idea is that the clones of all the members live there and are trying to reach the real members in the mvs, if the members appear inured in anyway (scratches and bruises) or have a drawing on their hand (?i think its their hand) that is the clones real i.n and clone i.n switch at some point and even up to the newest mvs are still switched hyunjin and lee know usually have the role of the 'villain' and felix as the 'victim' but even that we're unsure of it all becomes a lot more prominent in the newer releases though
I like that you are starting from the beginning after getting hooked. Just a reminder that they are having a new album comeback soon though. I highly recommend you jump in to that content when it arrives. I feel like it's going to be one of the best albums, they have even said it themselves.
I really like your reaction. I love the appreciation on Lee Knows vocals cause he doesn't get much of those he is mostly known as the main dancer same with Hyunjin's rap Changbin and Han are really known as the best rapper of the group but Hyunjin in my opinion is there with them too this was the case on the early years of Stray Kids right now though the lines are blurred rappers are singers too and singers are rappers as well. If you want a more vocal focus song try reacting to Secret Secret they all sing on that one and if you want a rap focus one then Maze of Memories is the best Seungmin and I.N rapped on that one too. Really enjoying this reactions on Stray Kids and seeing you get down on the rabbit hole 😁there is no turning back Stray Kids are amazing intro to Kpop in my opinion and I'm glad you started with them. Also do not stress on ranking them up because my bias change all the time too, they don't have a rank for me, they are all number 1.
Love your appreciation of Hyunjin! He's one of my favorites, and his parts are almost always catchy for me! Given how much you're enjoying the music videos, you should definitely check out their dance practices. Between being super cool/impressive and being absolutely hilarious, they're a ball!
Okay, so District 9 was their debut song. Hellevator was predebut. Between Hellevator and District 9, JYP (the old man you didn't recognise) scolded Chan for writing Hellevator in the key he did because it was a "female key" (he wrote it that way to showcase Han's voice. JYP didn't even know Han could sing, so he had literally no place scolding Chan when Chan knows his group's skillset and is constantly showcasing it) and told Chan he shouldn't rap because he's not very good at it. That's why, by the time they debuted with District 9, Chan sings significantly more than he did in Hellevator. It's also why we SELDOM hear him actually rap in a SKZ song and why he mostly does the chorus/handle in 3RACHA tracks these days instead of a full rap verse. I will never be able to communicate with words just how much I hate JYP for that.
16:14 they were most likely the three members who had the most stable/reliable skill set in the early days and then everyone else improved and got more and more parts/fokus
I love how you're going through exactly what I went through when I started listening to SKZ. You'll soon find yourself OT8 (no specific bias) and have all of their songs as your favorite song.
I think someone may have already mentioned that one of the “racha groupings” at concerts is the vocal unit (Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, I.N.) and the rap unit (Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix). At the recent Maniac World Tour, they perform a few songs in these groupings and even made it a competition! I’m sure you’ll see footage of it if you look for it - Muddy Water vs Waiting for us. They did it at the Sydney shows at the end of Feb too.
Leeknow was only been a trainee for a very short period of time compared to the other boys when they debuted…he came in as a dancer…so his vocal and rap weren’t really fully trained yet..I think that’s why in early works he hadn’t been given lots of parts except for dancing…he was in charge of it
Since you like anime (but I know you are doing mvs chronologically) keep in mind stray kids have done the opening and ending of Tower of God, called "Top" and "Slump". Also they are huge fan of anime and games so it is easy to find quotes in their lyrics in general (for example in "muddy water")
Just to set your expectation, choosing an ultimate favorite member is a constant struggle among Stays!! It changes every song, every video, every album! LMAO
Your words about Minho having short parts and you wanting more of his vocals is a big YES, because we've been waiting for more of his vocals for years, as well as parts longer than one line, but then I remember that he doesn't have a single solo line in "god's menu", I would even said that he didn't have any parts in this song, which still upsets me very much. In addition to your reaction, a nice bonus for me personally was the sweatshirt "my hero academia", because this is one of my favorite anime, and there are only a few of them
From what I understood from other reaction channels it’s better to limit the reaction to 4 songs per video ‘cause you risk getting it blocked if more. Genuinely love your stray kids reactions and looking forward to seeing more of them 🙌🏻
I see you being an OT8 by the end of your journey with them. Each time you put one at the top they all come in to wreck it and just becomes a normal occurrence
Finally someone recognising Hyunjin!!! I haven’t seen a reaction video yet where Hyunjin was even noticed rap wise. He’s so underrated, It’s so sad bc even though Han and Binnie are awesome he’s exceptional as well. I have mad respect for him moreover bc he only learned how to dance and rap as a trainee during 2-3 years
If you want to hear Changbin's incredible singing in full you should try out his amazingly beautiful song 'Streetlight' or his performance on 'Masked Singer', if you haven't already ;D
‘They’re all good ya know!’ Hahahah, oh we know 😃 there are many things that the vast majority of Stay agree on and one of them is that all of SKZ songs are good and you may like some more than others but they will only be less liked they will not be ‘the worst’ or ‘awful’ songs (there are some controversial songs like ‘Side effects’ and ‘tortoise and the hare’ but honestly most stay, if they don’t like it to begin with then the song will grow on them. I think the most complaints about these songs come from antis ). Another thing we agree on is that every member will wreck you at one point or another, like seriously THEY WILL COME FOR YOU! You may have a bias but all of them will be bias wreckers even you bias will be a bias wrecker of themselves from comeback to comeback cause they just keep getting better and better! Awkward silence is one of my faves, it’s just a downright fun song and fun fact, Chan really hit that camera by accident, I mean he was meant to hit it just not THAT hard! But the producers and editors thought it fit the scene and song so well that they kept that take 😂
While everyone has their fav that they always pick out, each member is genuinely awesome and you can't just pick one! That's why a lot of people as ot8 (which thinking about it doesn't make complete sense since ot stands for one true, or maybe I'm using it wrong) You should check out the dance practice of awkward silence, because the dancing they do is fun and on point.
You should check out some of their epic live performances on MNet Kingdom: Wolfgang, Ddu Du Ddu Du, and I'll Be Your Man are all amaaazing. Also Love Poem is a great showcase of Seungmin's incredible vocals.
Lee Know has a solo song called Limbo. You should react to it since you love his vocals. In fact, all the members have a solo song on the album Replay.
Hey baby Stay! ❤So excited to watch you fall into the amazing world that is Stray Kids & the Stay fandom. Would you happen to know if Street Version videos are included in your list? There are a few songs where the "video" is made up of the kids getting cameras and being let loose in a city to self-record. It's seriously so much fun & chaotic! I believe they filmed two of them when they were in Australia for their first world tour. My favorites are N/S (filmed in Thailand) and Boxer (filmed in AUS) - you won't want to miss them in the chronology.
The fact that my bias continues to be your bias(Chan) is making me love you more lol I have two bias's, Chan and Lee Know. Are you going to do funny compilations? And lastly, you are growing so fast and I'm proud for some reason 😅 Maybe because I was here before you hit 1k lol
District 9 is my absolute favourite song. it's so meaningful, and that's exactly why i tattooed the most important song line for me on my upper arm. 나도나를잘모르는데왜 네가 나를 아는 듯이 말해 can be translated as: Why are you talking like you know me? Though I don't even know myself My pace is a freaking bop. I always listen in the car to feel good. And my best friend is obsessed with it. So, she even learned the choreography. Awkward silence is so cool and the mv is so freaking funny. Fun fact: chan hitting the camera was an accident but the kept it in the mv.😅 Cant wait for Christmas evel (best Christmas song of all time in my opinion) , victory song, side effects, chronosaurus, any, all it,and aaaaaallll the other good stuff.
You’re bias list is very similar to mine haha. Chan at the top, then Changbin and Hyunjin are basically both my second haha I can’t pick, and then Han is 3 but also sometimes 2 as well because damn that boy is the ace and his solos are 😮. But like….they’re all my faves really they’re amazing
Since you're going through the music videos in order, I suggest you take the Map for Broken Compass - this is an officially released map that displays the journey from Hellevator throughout to Levanter EP. This is only if you want an extra challenge to connect the MVs with the objects on the map. There is a storyline throughout the first 7 EPs (and further, but not displayed on the map). You don't have to go deep into the lore, your viewers in the comments can help if you'd like :) Whether with the map or without, have fun on this journey!
If you want to listen to another more vocal based song you should definitely listen to secret secret (han wrote this one) and never-ending story (an ost they made for a kdrama), in both of these songs you'll get to see more of hans vocals aswell Since you like awkward silence ,i think you would like to watch the dabce practice for that cause its also very funny 😭
I can soooo understand this problem with "ranking" skz members... one time u decide, that u know who is better for u and rank them in some order and then one of them doing something that destroy your whole "ranking system" and u just PLEASE I WANT SOME PEACE OR AT LEAST BREATHE, but they just: "no." and we just "ok. no complaining continuing dying c:" and yeah each of them just so special and talented so it to hard to decide who is the best, they all just too good in smth special, just love all of them~
Ahhh I can't wait for you to see the next era!!! I Am You is my favorite SKZ title track/comeback and all the looks and the whole vibe that time was so nice! My Pace is so iconic though, I knew this song even way before I knew anything about stray kids so watching this feels soooo nostalgic ahahah
"I need more Han!"
Meanwhile Han having the most lines in almost all of the songs xD
Actually i laughed when he said that... Even HAN got so much hate in the fandom cause he always got the most line in every songs😅 i mean HAN deserved it, since predebut, he is already the most stable performer in live performance (rap, vocal, dance skill at high level)

he's probably saying that because in all of han's other parts he didn't realize it was him lmaooo

I really hope he saw this comment it’s really important
Grow up is a special song, because to this day Stays sing it back to SKZ on concert. Because the lyrics go: "You're doing good!"
Welcome to the world of stray kids where almost everyone becomes OT8 aka they just have the whole group as their bias because it’s so hard to choose. At some point
That's so true
100%. I call them all my bias and Changbin my bias wrecker. Lol 😅😂

To understand the real level of rap/vocals, you need to watch live performances. Han and Changbin's rap sounds in reality just like on the record
I agree... stray kids live are on a definitely ather level... it's mind-blowing
ive seen them in concert twice and can confirm. so talented
I'm sure you'll get to watching "Miroh", but I also suggest you watching their stage performance of them singing "I'll Be Your Man". Its such a powerful performance. Always gives me chills.
There's never not a time I need to listen to that song. It's so good!!!
Lee know and Chan you said? Well they're the ''DRIVE'' couple so.. you definitely have to react to the SKZ - Drive by Chan and Lee Know :D
I think he’ll react to all the MVs in order so he’ll watch drive eventually

he should watch the kingdom performances, specifically I’ll be your man
YYEEES
@@applebeesbrownie omg yes
The moment when Chan knocks the camera (in Awkward Silence) was unscripted; he really did bump into it. Han's reaction in the back is genuine concern.

Lee Knows vocals are heavenly beautiful. And so are Felix's, you'd be surprised by how versatile his voice is. You should really listen to Deep end by Felix and Limbo by Lino if you want to hear more of them singing!
I love Awkward Silence! Chan’s lil heehee in the beginning is so great haha. When Chan hit the camera it was actually an accident but they kept it in the video!
I don't know if someone already said it, but Han is the first member Chan did recruit for Stray Kids 😋First baby !
han is my favorite rapper but he’s also my favorite vocalist lol
Han's vocals are gold. Han has a lot lines in the earlier videos. He is a real ace. Also their maniac tour concert performance of district 9 is a must watch. It's so epic!!!!
So the main rappers in skz are changbin and han and the lead rappers are hyunjin and felix. 3racha is more of a producing unit but they obviously also rap. Chan is more known to sing in skz songs but raps in 3racha songs.
hyunjin is known for sounding quite crazy a lot of the time as well as doing his classic 'psycho' smile which we all love, also his growls which you hear a lot more when they perform live, especially in god's menu
Honestly I love how through this whole video you got more and more conflicted on who was your favorite member in different aspects! 🤣 You know you can just be an OT8 type of fan. That means that you literally cant pick a bias because all the members are surprising you and basically coming for you all the time. I definitely was an OT8 stan at first... Then my love for dance and preformance made Hyunjin become my bias from how he can take control of a stage when he dances.
This is so me 😅🤗
32:25 fun fact chan was supposed to pretend push the camera away but accidentally actually hit it and it fit the concept so well that the director kept it so that worried expression is his genuine reaction to almost breaking a professional camera
+
if you're looking for felix singing I would recommend his solo called deep end! it shows how good his voice range is and it showcases his singing really beautifully
it’s obvious he doesn’t like felix
@@planetlix6462 LMAO HE LITERALLY SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF “i like that we’re hearing more of Felix singing” 💀 Just cause his focus is on others doesn’t mean he doesn’t like Felix smh. Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but still, don’t put words in others mouths🤷🏻♀️ I’m sorry if I come off rude
@@planetlix6462Wdym, he's simping over Lix's voice and looks all the time
Han is multitalented
He can rap, sing high note and dance
Please reaction video of Han vocals,dance ,rap and writing song
His visual is also memorising
Leeknow's voice is great, especially in Slump
And it's so funny how you rearrange them after every mv. It's interesting that you compare Han and Hyunjin because they have a fight in the past because they had kinda same positions
Hyunjin has a unique pronunciation. Even when rapping, it's so sweet. 😊 If you listen to it, you won't mistake it for Han's voice. 😊
I can't wait for you to hear Side effect, Easy, and Victory song 😊
Yes but in the beginning (and sometimes even now, I’m a stay since “my pace”) at first listening I can’t tell if it was Hj or Han 🫠
@@henriettadobi756 I somehow always recognize him when I hear him because of his pronunciation and because somehow I can't mistake his tone, whether it's soft or deep or rapping...
Hannie is my ult for good reason, man's is stupid talented, ACE doesn't do him justice❤
Han is shining in every single MV maybe you didn't catch it, and here 18:54 he did that thing as hyunjin❤
He's everywhere I don't know how he's not noticing him
@@sifsis245 Exactly, for me watching a MV in one time can't be focusing in every thing like the members ,lyrics , transitions ,story but at least you can see the rapping of Han is lot as much as changbin
He's shining to you because you've watched every MV a million times. Tge member that stands out to you doesn't have to be the focus for everyone else. We're all individual people.
han is also a big vocalist in skz he can hit female notes so he does a lot of high notes and runs,so it’s very common for him to do vocals and other stuff, he also has a kinda deep toned voice not as deep as Felix’s ofc but yea OH and he is the one with the most line in most songs so youll see a lot of him😭
Grow Up is a special song for skz and stays, I can't listen to it without crying tbh 😅 the lyrics always get me
Stray kids - Muddy water (felix Hyunjin changbin and han) amazing song
Its very arguable who is better rapper Han or Changbin. I feel like Han is overlooked as an rapper because he also sings a lot but that boy is a lyrical and freestyle genius...even Changbin said he used to look up to Han predebut, especially because of his freestyle abilities
Hell yeah, a fellow Lee Know enjoyer - he is a powerful performer and his head voice is very clean and beautiful. Han is good at everything and very versatile - you can give him any part of the song or performance and he'll kill it. They're by bias and bias-wrecker so... 😂
I would really recommend their Kindom performances because I think they showcase SKZ' talent well
awkward silence is one of the best skz songs you can’t tell me otherwise
If you wanna see more of han please react to “I’ll be your man” performance. It’s a competition where the other idols compete with each other for winning the legendary kingdom cup.
FYI: stray kids won.
Hyunjin couldn’t be on the competition cause he was on a forced hiatus because of the silly rumors of that time. So basically if you look at the lyrics they choose for their performance it’s like they singing it to hyunjin.
It is one of the best masterpieces that they did I’m telling you.
CHANGBIN'S RAP/VOCALS IN MIRROR IS UNDERRATED
Changbin isn't even my bias but I listen to Mirror on repeat just for his parts, same thing for My Pace
you should check out han on "lee mujin service"!! it's an interview with a few acoustic live performances and his vocals are insanely good
If Awkward Silence was hilarious, can't wait to see you react to the street versions :) (there are couple of songs that don't have an officially filmed mv, so they've filmed it themselves - these are street versions)
Also, you HAVE to check out "N/S (street ver.)" and "Question (street ver.)" its basically just them being their absolute funny selves
I really appreciate you starting from their beginning of their journey, usually people just react to the most popular ones or only the ones viewers recommend to them and old ones don't really get recommended much. Their old songs have a really peculiar sound to them that I can't really explain. It's their experimental and raw phase it's how I would describe it. Right now they're still making amazing and quality music but in a much "matured up" way, while also keeping them relatively likable to everyone; I think most of the Stays can agree with me when I say their older songs are mostly not for everyone. But I'm honestly so proud of them, because you can listen to a recent song of them and go "Yeahh, this is an SKZ song."
Welcome in the Stray Kids family.
Thank you for the reaction.
Please watch Easy, Side Effects, Hello Stranger and All In
Stray Kids are amazing!
i'm always curious to know what you think about the lyrics tbh since skz's lyrics are usually so good and deep/meaningful
Lee know is an amazingly amazing vocalist but like Seungmin is just on another level watch love poem kingdom version it’s Seungmin and two other vocalists it’s AMAZING and u can see a bit more of Seungmin true talent
if you’d like to see more vocals, i recommend watching “24 to 25” and kingdom’s performance “i’ll be your man”!
13:30 I love everyone's soft harmonizing then getting hit by Felix's deep-ass "yeaahh!"
You said it, it's impossible to pick a favourite song when they all are just sooo good. But still "awkward silence" and "get cool" (which you will come to listen later) are pure comedy and absolutely funny to watch 😂
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT'S ALSO THINKS THAT HYUNJIN'S AND HAN'S VOICES ARE THE SAME
LOL! I'll be waiting for the coming videos excitedly ... when he finally understands why Han Jisung is THE Ace
Vocal: chan lee know Seungmin and i.n
Rap: changbin, han, Hyunjin and felix
But they all can rap and sing
Actually Han is officially considered as both since he has held both main rapper and main vocalistpositions before they did away with positions. He held Main Vocalist position from Oct. Of 2019 until they competed on Kingdom. Other than that.... yeah. I know it add confusion for people, but it's truly an important factor. Funny enough, during the Gods Menu comeback and on kingdom is where the post Woojin fans discovered that he was a rapper at all, because they thought that he was just a vocalist. Most of them had yet toccheck out oer Woojin leaving music because of how fast SKZ were coming out with new stuff. Lol Vice-versa... It's also where the fans that they made DURING God's Menu era and in the first few episodes of Kingdom, discovered that he was ALSO a vocalist, not just a rapper. Because they got to see him perform "I'll Be Your Man"... Meanwhile, is predebute STAY were like..
"S**t... Did we not tell you!?....Yeah, thats our bad everyone! We thought you knew!"
lee know and i.n get given alot more parts in the newer songs but didn't feature very much in the old ones
12:30 Thank you so much for the Lee Know vocal appreciation! He does indeed have a magical voice.
for watching all the mvs, it's probably useful to know (at least an overview) of the skz lore
it's super confusing and mostly just theories atp
you might notice (like in hellevator at the end) a city in the sky in some of the intros and outros, the idea is that the clones of all the members live there and are trying to reach the real members
in the mvs, if the members appear inured in anyway (scratches and bruises) or have a drawing on their hand (?i think its their hand) that is the clones
real i.n and clone i.n switch at some point and even up to the newest mvs are still switched
hyunjin and lee know usually have the role of the 'villain' and felix as the 'victim' but even that we're unsure of
it all becomes a lot more prominent in the newer releases though
I like that you are starting from the beginning after getting hooked. Just a reminder that they are having a new album comeback soon though. I highly recommend you jump in to that content when it arrives. I feel like it's going to be one of the best albums, they have even said it themselves.
I really like your reaction. I love the appreciation on Lee Knows vocals cause he doesn't get much of those he is mostly known as the main dancer same with Hyunjin's rap Changbin and Han are really known as the best rapper of the group but Hyunjin in my opinion is there with them too this was the case on the early years of Stray Kids right now though the lines are blurred rappers are singers too and singers are rappers as well. If you want a more vocal focus song try reacting to Secret Secret they all sing on that one and if you want a rap focus one then Maze of Memories is the best Seungmin and I.N rapped on that one too. Really enjoying this reactions on Stray Kids and seeing you get down on the rabbit hole 😁there is no turning back Stray Kids are amazing intro to Kpop in my opinion and I'm glad you started with them. Also do not stress on ranking them up because my bias change all the time too, they don't have a rank for me, they are all number 1.
Love your appreciation of Hyunjin! He's one of my favorites, and his parts are almost always catchy for me!
Given how much you're enjoying the music videos, you should definitely check out their dance practices. Between being super cool/impressive and being absolutely hilarious, they're a ball!
Check out muddy water and some of their live performances! Also for han, 'I got it' you'll be blown away
Okay, so District 9 was their debut song. Hellevator was predebut. Between Hellevator and District 9, JYP (the old man you didn't recognise) scolded Chan for writing Hellevator in the key he did because it was a "female key" (he wrote it that way to showcase Han's voice. JYP didn't even know Han could sing, so he had literally no place scolding Chan when Chan knows his group's skillset and is constantly showcasing it) and told Chan he shouldn't rap because he's not very good at it. That's why, by the time they debuted with District 9, Chan sings significantly more than he did in Hellevator. It's also why we SELDOM hear him actually rap in a SKZ song and why he mostly does the chorus/handle in 3RACHA tracks these days instead of a full rap verse. I will never be able to communicate with words just how much I hate JYP for that.
Yes😭😭
My man Lee know,so proud✨
He is talented,handsome,good sing,good dance！
I really appreciate you doing a bunch of songs in one video, you might actually make it through their entire discography like that one day haha
16:14 they were most likely the three members who had the most stable/reliable skill set in the early days and then everyone else improved and got more and more parts/fokus
I love how you're going through exactly what I went through when I started listening to SKZ. You'll soon find yourself OT8 (no specific bias) and have all of their songs as your favorite song.
Me lol. Im constantly attacked by everyone both one at a time and at the same time.
District 9 goes SO hard in the concert!! I always loved it but after the concert it's one of my faves now. It's incsane!
I think someone may have already mentioned that one of the “racha groupings” at concerts is the vocal unit (Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, I.N.) and the rap unit (Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix). At the recent Maniac World Tour, they perform a few songs in these groupings and even made it a competition! I’m sure you’ll see footage of it if you look for it - Muddy Water vs Waiting for us. They did it at the Sydney shows at the end of Feb too.
Idk if you can even call it a competition atp if Lixie lifts his shirt all the time 💀😂
Grow Up is such a comforting, reassuring song I love it so much
Leeknow was only been a trainee for a very short period of time compared to the other boys when they debuted…he came in as a dancer…so his vocal and rap weren’t really fully trained yet..I think that’s why in early works he hadn’t been given lots of parts except for dancing…he was in charge of it
Since you like anime (but I know you are doing mvs chronologically) keep in mind stray kids have done the opening and ending of Tower of God, called "Top" and "Slump". Also they are huge fan of anime and games so it is easy to find quotes in their lyrics in general (for example in "muddy water")
Just to set your expectation, choosing an ultimate favorite member is a constant struggle among Stays!! It changes every song, every video, every album! LMAO
Your words about Minho having short parts and you wanting more of his vocals is a big YES, because we've been waiting for more of his vocals for years, as well as parts longer than one line, but then I remember that he doesn't have a single solo line in "god's menu", I would even said that he didn't have any parts in this song, which still upsets me very much.
In addition to your reaction, a nice bonus for me personally was the sweatshirt "my hero academia", because this is one of my favorite anime, and there are only a few of them
From what I understood from other reaction channels it’s better to limit the reaction to 4 songs per video ‘cause you risk getting it blocked if more.
Genuinely love your stray kids reactions and looking forward to seeing more of them 🙌🏻
I see you being an OT8 by the end of your journey with them. Each time you put one at the top they all come in to wreck it and just becomes a normal occurrence
You actually already heard Changbin sing in Hellevator, he sings the lasts Hellevator of all the chorus !
2:44 I feel you. Han is my bias but Chan is my bias wrecker
Finally someone recognising Hyunjin!!! I haven’t seen a reaction video yet where
Hyunjin was even noticed rap wise. He’s so underrated, It’s so sad bc even though Han and Binnie are awesome he’s exceptional as well. I have mad respect for him moreover bc he only learned how to dance and rap as a trainee during 2-3 years
Just say you're OT8 , it makes life easier as a STAY😂❤
District 9 goes sooo hard
If you want to hear Changbin's incredible singing in full you should try out his amazingly beautiful song 'Streetlight' or his performance on 'Masked Singer', if you haven't already ;D
Stray kids everywhere all around the world ❤
‘They’re all good ya know!’
Hahahah, oh we know 😃 there are many things that the vast majority of Stay agree on and one of them is that all of SKZ songs are good and you may like some more than others but they will only be less liked they will not be ‘the worst’ or ‘awful’ songs (there are some controversial songs like ‘Side effects’ and ‘tortoise and the hare’ but honestly most stay, if they don’t like it to begin with then the song will grow on them. I think the most complaints about these songs come from antis ). Another thing we agree on is that every member will wreck you at one point or another, like seriously THEY WILL COME FOR YOU! You may have a bias but all of them will be bias wreckers even you bias will be a bias wrecker of themselves from comeback to comeback cause they just keep getting better and better!
Awkward silence is one of my faves, it’s just a downright fun song and fun fact, Chan really hit that camera by accident, I mean he was meant to hit it just not THAT hard! But the producers and editors thought it fit the scene and song so well that they kept that take 😂
While everyone has their fav that they always pick out, each member is genuinely awesome and you can't just pick one! That's why a lot of people as ot8 (which thinking about it doesn't make complete sense since ot stands for one true, or maybe I'm using it wrong)
You should check out the dance practice of awkward silence, because the dancing they do is fun and on point.
You should check out some of their epic live performances on MNet Kingdom: Wolfgang, Ddu Du Ddu Du, and I'll Be Your Man are all amaaazing. Also Love Poem is a great showcase of Seungmin's incredible vocals.
Lee Know has a solo song called Limbo. You should react to it since you love his vocals. In fact, all the members have a solo song on the album Replay.
29:39 funny that you mentioned, i never noticed but chan is actually a slytherin according to han, just loved that fact
Limbo, Limbo is what you're looking for if you wanna hear Lee Know in all his vocal glory
Hey baby Stay! ❤So excited to watch you fall into the amazing world that is Stray Kids & the Stay fandom. Would you happen to know if Street Version videos are included in your list?
There are a few songs where the "video" is made up of the kids getting cameras and being let loose in a city to self-record. It's seriously so much fun & chaotic! I believe they filmed two of them when they were in Australia for their first world tour. My favorites are N/S (filmed in Thailand) and Boxer (filmed in AUS) - you won't want to miss them in the chronology.
The fact that my bias continues to be your bias(Chan) is making me love you more lol I have two bias's, Chan and Lee Know. Are you going to do funny compilations? And lastly, you are growing so fast and I'm proud for some reason 😅 Maybe because I was here before you hit 1k lol
District 9 is my absolute favourite song. it's so meaningful, and that's exactly why i tattooed the most important song line for me on my upper arm.
나도나를잘모르는데왜 네가 나를 아는 듯이 말해
can be translated as: Why are you talking like you know me? Though I don't even know myself
My pace is a freaking bop. I always listen in the car to feel good. And my best friend is obsessed with it. So, she even learned the choreography.
Awkward silence is so cool and the mv is so freaking funny. Fun fact: chan hitting the camera was an accident but the kept it in the mv.😅
Cant wait for Christmas evel (best Christmas song of all time in my opinion) , victory song, side effects, chronosaurus, any, all it,and aaaaaallll the other good stuff.
I highly recommend the One Take videos of stray kids, especially for Slump and Scars! It really highlights a lot of the members :)
You’re bias list is very similar to mine haha. Chan at the top, then Changbin and Hyunjin are basically both my second haha I can’t pick, and then Han is 3 but also sometimes 2 as well because damn that boy is the ace and his solos are 😮. But like….they’re all my faves really they’re amazing
React to TASTE!!
By Danceracha (Lee know, Hyunjin and Felix)
Since you're going through the music videos in order, I suggest you take the Map for Broken Compass - this is an officially released map that displays the journey from Hellevator throughout to Levanter EP. This is only if you want an extra challenge to connect the MVs with the objects on the map.
There is a storyline throughout the first 7 EPs (and further, but not displayed on the map). You don't have to go deep into the lore, your viewers in the comments can help if you'd like :)
Whether with the map or without, have fun on this journey!
Awkward silence is one of the faves! Can’t wait to watch it :)
You really need to see Hyunjin’s dance cover videos. Soooo good! ❤️🙏😇
If you want to listen to another more vocal based song you should definitely listen to secret secret (han wrote this one) and never-ending story (an ost they made for a kdrama), in both of these songs you'll get to see more of hans vocals aswell
Since you like awkward silence ,i think you would like to watch the dabce practice for that cause its also very funny 😭
Changbin - streetlights!! Such an amazing song
I can soooo understand this problem with "ranking" skz members... one time u decide, that u know who is better for u and rank them in some order and then one of them doing something that destroy your whole "ranking system" and u just PLEASE I WANT SOME PEACE OR AT LEAST BREATHE, but they just: "no." and we just "ok. no complaining continuing dying c:"
and yeah each of them just so special and talented so it to hard to decide who is the best, they all just too good in smth special, just love all of them~
I swear. You paused in th4le middle of the most epic changbin flow in existance. And then totally missed it. 😅😅😅😢
Han goes crazy live
Ahhh I can't wait for you to see the next era!!! I Am You is my favorite SKZ title track/comeback and all the looks and the whole vibe that time was so nice! My Pace is so iconic though, I knew this song even way before I knew anything about stray kids so watching this feels soooo nostalgic ahahah
This channel makes me so so so happy with all the Skz content. I’ve been a Stay since My Pace and I Am You eras so this brings me so much nostalgia.
