Interviewer: You always give Felix such iconic lines. Bang Chan: We give Felix lines and he *makes* them iconic. Don't apologize for stanning Felix super hard. All of the members contribute to their success, and Felix's voice is genuinely the gateway for so many fans because of its depth and uniqueness.
I am so sorry you had to take a video down because of the comments! That should never happen and I am sorry it happened to you. I have found the Stray Kids fandom to be one of the nicest, inclusive fandoms around! I am proud to call myself a Stay! I hope you keep reacting to Stray Kids because I enjoy watching you discover what an awesome group they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sadly, i am not surprised that there are haters out there. You could do everything right and someone will find something to criticize. Just try to ignore them and just keep doing what you are doing! Its absolutely fine to engage with your audience and not spoil stuff. If you love Felix, i think Deep End and Taste really highlight his voice!
So glad you are taking the dive into Stray Kids. Truly, their music has incredible depth and in an industry of so much of the same , it's refreshing to find music that is a blend of so many genres. With a deep and diverse discography of almost 200 tracks, there really is something for everyone. They are multi talented singers, rappers, dancers each with a self awareness and unique charm that is so appealing to everyone. Their music as you've noticed has some deep meaning in the lyrics, oftentimes with multiple meanings. Much of their music is a flex, but it's never assholish. Someone mentioned that their songs were about breaking conformity, but I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. I think they say that what society thinks has no bearing on what they intend to do because they're going just keep moving forward. It's not FU. It's "We don't give a F!" They're never disrespectful in their flexing! I haven't seen all of what you've already reacted to, but here's a short list: Venom m/v 3Racha -track Muddy Water-track Heyday-track Doodle-Traco Victory Song - MAMA 2020 Awards performance Domino -Dance Practice Vid Fam -m/v Circus -m/v Have fun! Topline -m/v
If you want something a bit more experimental, but unbelievably epic I recommend The Tortoise and the Hare(stray kids), Side Effects (stray kids), and Mirror Mirror by Milli, F. Hero, and Stray Kids Changbin. You will not regret!
Adding onto this - for some more rapping, I recommend 3RACHA songs! Like ZONE, Runner’s High, 3RACHA (Maxident), and HEYDAY (Prod. Czaer). ALSO (since SKZ has so much content) I Got It (Han), and Cypher (Changbin)!
@@rabbit.6stewCan i also add Maze of Memories, Top (anime ost) Hello Stranger and Just Breathe (3Racha and Sky High). I love that song too. I love too many of them.
Don't worry, ALL OF US (STAY) are obsessed with at least one of the members 😂😂😂 I'm obsessed with Hyunjin and Lee Know for their dance style and Seungmin and Han beautiful voices And you were right when you pointed Hyunjin and Seungmin in Freeze And in Mountain the fast rapper in front of the computer was Hyunjin
No, go in blind! Because then we get your genuine reaction.Don’t worry about those haters, they come and go but us faithful subscribers will be supporting you ❤
It's always entertaining how the male reactors always zero-in on Felix immediately. I mean, we all do to be honest. He's like the bait in the trap--before you know it, you're in for life, lol. I've watched a LOT of SKZ reactions and the guys usually immediately stan Felix, Han, or Changbin. Don't be too worried about getting their names correct; we have all been there. We all get Lee Know and I.N. confused for a while and Bang Chan and Changbin's names are so similar, it takes some getting used to. Here are some tricks that might help, since almost all of them change their look so frequently: Bang Chan: he always makes me think of the All-American guy (even though he's Australian, you know what I mean). Lee Know: sharp features, vocally he does falsetto quite a lot but has a crazy range and an incredible dancer Changbin: Muscles, aggressive rapper with the sweetest singing voice Hyunjin: usually long hair (mostly blonde or black but not always), long limbs, crazy good dancer, stupid beautiful Han: incredible rapper, SWAG, incredible vocalist, chubby cheeks (especially when he eats), when he raps, his mouth movement is very distinct--shows his teeth alot, lol Felix: obvious, gorgeous, freckles Seungmin: incredible vocalist, usually the first one people recognize because of his distinct features, if you watch (non-song) content, he is savage and energetic like a puppy (not as much now but in the older stuff) I.N.: also sharp, angular features but his nose is more rounded than Lee Know's, smiles a lot, wide jaw (more of a square shaped face), very distinct voice--higher than the others'
Yep, I.N was the mafia boss. At the end, Hyunjin is reading about him. The paper basically described I.N. and he went missing (or got away). That's why Hyunjin was upset. The I.N walks in at the end, pulling the gun on us!
As a rap fan, MUDDY WATER!! ( but it’s a sub-unit with just Changbin, HAN, Hyunjin, and Felix) and there’s no MV so you’d have to listen to the track only. Also, since you are connecting with the message in the lyrics I recommend listening to some of the older songs (Grow Up, Chronosarus, My Pace, Voices) *But just a note those MVs are when they had 9 members, before one chose to leave at the end of 2019. All MVs from 2020 on have the 8 members as they are now. To echo someone else in the comments, I hope the positive comments will hold more weight for you than the negative because most of us STAYs want Stray Kids to be appreciated for all the things you are praising them for. It took me a while to get a lot of the information too and of course interacting with people is a good way to do that. Hyunjin is the one that had that very fast rap sucking on a popsicle or whatever.
You are quickly becoming my favorite Stray Kids reactor. Watching you go through it makes me remember how I felt and still do about their music. Hyunjin is the guy with the soft tine in Freeze and the fast rap you liked in Mountains. You'll quickly realize that all 8 members can rap and sing well. My recommendation for songs... 1. Venom 2. Easy 3. Charmer
Sorry you had such a bad experience with comments. It's your channel and you can choose what you want. I am excited to experience your stray kids journey with you. They have so much music that that fit every mood. And i love that they are unapologetic about experimenting with their music and genres. Can't wait for more stray kids.
It's interesting that you mentioned ADHD. Most of my favourite Stray Kids reactors have said they have ADHD. I don't know if it just makes for good reactors in general, or if it is specific to Stray kids especially. I feel like the beat change ups and genre changes, multiple different vocals and raps, amazing transitions, aesthetics and cinematography, hair/ make-up, choreography, costumes etc, all makes it such a feast for the brain...that it attracts a certain type of open minded person. Add to that the uplifting, supportive and often fun lyrics...and the fun, random and caring personalities of the Stray Kids...and you seem to get a fandom of lovely, supportive people. Welcome to Stayville, I hope you STAY. ❤
You got hyunjin and seugmin right in Freeze. The rapper in mountains was hyunjin, he is an amazing singer rapper and dancer. 8 all rounders with Han being the ace.
8:15 I think what Felix brings is contrast, since his voice is SO different than any of the other members (which are all pretty unique to begin with) it adds a new element that always stands out.
oh yes there's those also they characters above their heads are Chinese characters that mean Joy anger sorrow and please (or rak said like rock). I believe the different scenes represent those as well with the fire (Mad Max) representing Rak (pleasure), Dark Night representing anger, the white scene representing Joy and Pirates representing Sorrow. I say this because if you watch the characters disappear since the giants destroy them, those scene slowly go away as well, leave Rak left. the first to go is anger, then Joy, sorrow, leaving pleasure.
I wish more people will appreciate the amount of effort reactors like you are and all content-makers put for us… I hope the song “Youtiful” will somehow make you feel better (for me it always works. Lyrics in English and MV - beautiful animation) Thanks for your time!
It would be great if you reacted to their song Cover Me, Maze of memories (please see the 2021version) and The Tortoise and Hare (this is one of Stray Kids and Stays' favorite songs)
When it comes to straykids, there’s 1 of 2 genres you’ll find; either a really deep meaning about toxic relationships, mental health, happiness, purpose etc… or songs that are just a massive fuck you to social anxiety. That’s what lalala is. “락 (rak)” in Korean is very similar to the work rock, so it’s a play on the words. But the whole song is a MASSIVE fu to social conformity
Thank you for another SKZ reaction. I love that you do multiple music videos in one of your reactions. We STAY will never complain about longer SKZ reactions!!. It seems like you really are enjoying your Stray Kids journey. Im excited for you to see more 😊
Wow.. that was a truly heartbreaking intro and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I know I struggle as a kpop fan myself trying to just enjoy my timelines but it’s always wrought with hate, fan wars, and negativity. I can’t believe you had to experience it so soon and so personally. That sucks. But now that it’s happened, just know that fandoms have a spectrum, there’s really great people and really awful people. It’s inevitable that you’ll eventually see or experience the wrath of a kpop stan scorned. But I hope that you will also receive a lot of love and support from the good ones ❤ on a lighter note, I was really excited to come watch this video lol, I had to stop before I got to the good stuff because the intro just hurt a lot but now I’m going to go enjoy it lol I’ll say it every video, but thank you so much for taking the time to do these, I hope it brings you joy
If you want to better understand the skz lore, I highly recommend watching the music videos: "Hellevetor", "District 9", "I am you", "Miroh", "Side effects", "Double knot" and "Levanter" (in the order I gave) and then watch the video titled ,,Stray Kids: Prequel (Highlight Reel)" on the official JYP channel. Btw such a great reaction. I hope you will stay with us for a long time
You don't deserve the hate brother , your reactions are immaculate, thank you for reacting to SKZ 🙏 Pls react to Hall of fame ( has no m/v I recommend a lyric video) , Up all night ( it's a SKZ record , SKZ records are personal projects from the members, it has an M/V ), charmer ( has no M/V , recommend a lyric video), Sunshine ( a chill R&B song that has no M/V) If you have the chance I recommend watching a StrayKids guide video so you can watch 🙏🙏🙏
Venom, side effects, easy, and chronosaurus for suggestions 😊. Your intro was heart wrenching. I agree 100% with everyone who stated the fact that it's your channel to do with whatever you choose. I am just happy to be able to enjoy your reactions, even if i don't comment often. Thank you for just being you, and for sharing your time with us. Almost forgot to say your doing great 🎉
*sighs* No boo, do your own thang, don't listen to those specific people, okay? Those people just don't understand that you cannot have something be spoiled before you actually watch it. It's 100% better if you hear information from the fans directly or even from watching the videos. Otherwise, you could literally go read everything in one day and boom, you wouldn't have anything left to react to because everything was already spoiled for you, so your reaction wouldn't be as genuine. Just do your thing, take your time, you should not be forced to research specific topics and "get educated" or any of that BS before you react to it. The blind reactions is what we mostly look forward to. I seriously enjoy watching people get super hyped over my favorite groups when they react to something they haven't seen or heard before. It's the best part of watching people react. Those 7 people just don't know how it works. You might get some of those comments from any fandom out there, unfortunately it's not something you can avoid. :( I think that the best option is to just either ignore those people or give it to them straight. They want to be rude, give them the same type of respect back. I know it's not ideal because you're trying to gain viewers not lose them, but sometimes it's just what has to be done. Or you can just tell them nicely as well, something along the lines of, "I apologize but I'm completely new to them, and I'm just getting to know them. I don't know how to get the information without having anything get spoiled for me before I even react to it." Majority of the people should understand, but there are some real toxic ones out there as well, if worse comes to worse and they don't leave (because they definitely have that option, no one is stopping them from leaving) you can always just report them for being hateful and erase their comment. :) Just trying to give you some genuine advice, I want to see you succeed. Definitely, please keep going forward with your reactions, I'll accept anything that comes from the heart. As a society, I really think we all just need to be more understanding and actually try to listen to people when they're trying to get their point across. Too many people nowadays hear a few words and they've already had enough, when they haven't given even 50% of their attention. They might think they're better than everyone else or just be that insecure about themselves that they have to push others down to make themselves feel better. Tbh, this is actually why I love Stray Kids, (I know that the group you were talking about was XG and it has nothing to do with Stray Kids but I'm mentioning them just to get my point across) their music tackles this type of behavior constantly which I just freaking love and it's the whole reason why I keep coming back to them every day. Their music and lyrics and actions are just that powerful and truly inspiring. Anyways, my point is, just go at your own pace, don't rush anything, and you don't owe them anything if they plan to be disrespectful. More often than not they're just trying to seek attention and they feed off of that, so sometimes it's just better to ignore them. You ignore them and they'll get bored and have nothing left to use to their advantage. Keep going forward my friend
funny moment compilations or even skz code, or racha logs uploaded by the official youtube accounts are a fun way to learn faces names and personalities also! people should be pretty kind about learning since we all had to do it at one point as well. anyone giving you trouble for making mistakes, or fanning over one member a lot-- dont pay it much mind. there'll be 5 more people supporting u for each person trying to pick a fight for no reason lmao
For LALALALA, To give a LITTLE BIT of context (as there is quite a lot to unravel).. throughout the video you’ll see Chinese characters (letters) that represent emotions, Anger, happiness, sadness, and joy. The former disappearing one by one until only Joy is left. The character left sounds similar to “Rock” or at least they’re interpreting that way and means joy so there you’ll find the connection!
Also, I believe the different sets were designed to reflect those different emotions (happiness, anger, sadness, and joy/fun) I've also always seen the 8 kids as mirrors to the members who are at first scared but have allowed their confidence and sense of joy to ultimately push them forward.
I am glad you wrote this. There is so much more to discuss on LA LA LA alone - but you have really helped. I remember reading it was about their doubts about their abilities or performing on stage - so it was about performance anxiety and them just talking themselves through it and enjoying the act of performing on stage.
As 3Racha (Bang Chan, Han, Chanbin) are producing their songs, they exactly know how to use Felix‘s extraordinary voice to most advantage for Stray Kids‘ music. The deeper you get into their music you will notice how they are using the full range of dynamics in rhythm and stress as well as of the full range of the members vocals to get the most interesting and dramatic effect. Felix’ voice often is used to create a moment of quietness, grounding and focusing for the listener. The same way as Seungmins and I.Ns and sometimes Bang Chans higher notes offer a moment of relief, before the music again gets racing, pressing, hitting. Dynamic is one of the key characteristics of Stray Kids‘ music, I think, besides that you never know what to expect in the next moment. Reacting to them is hard, because you can’t never get everything, neither musically, lyrically, visually. If you detect one meaning, expect there to be a double and triple meaning you did not yet grasp. That’s why it gets never boring, well, and never ending discussions
the guy you called handsome in the Freeze MV (the blonde in the scene where they set the fire) and the guy you praised in Moutains talking about his fast rap is Hyunjin
I would give anything to listen to stray kids again for the first time, it was such a fun time in my life, so seeing reactors like you discover their music is the next best thing. Your excitement is so infectious. Glad you found them man, you’re in for a treat. Also, getting to know the members personalities through their variety shows, interviews & behind the scenes content, like ‘skz code’ only makes you love them as a group even more…. I hope you get to explore that side of them too. There’s just so much content. Oh and don’t worry about getting names/facts wrong at the start - I confused Lee know and I.N for a while, and thought bang chan and Changbin were the same person for ages. We’ve all been there. If you get rec’d any songs without m/vs there are normally lyric breakdowns highlighting the member’s pictures at the top of the screen - that really helped me with picking out their voice styles and contributions in the beginning.
I think it’s fine if you don’t want to have any knowledge before your first reactions. If you have face blindness it’s going to likely take longer to know them individually… you can’t rely on hair color or style because they change constantly. If you want to watch ,and possibly react to, a guide there are a few. Chandora’s World has a really long in-depth one but also put out a condensed version to get started with called AQuick And Easy 2024 Guide To Stray Kids. The fast rap in Mountains was Hyunjin who was also the blond in Freeze who’s vocal you liked.
If you are newly obsessed, then you are in great company! 🎉Welcome🎉 Speaking of obsession, I'd like recommend "Red Lights" as it does a fantastic job of reminding us that SKZ are just as human as the rest of us 😊. It was done by only two members (BangChan and Hyunjin), but still worth the watch! If you like a good rap, TopLine ft. Tiger JK is another good one. Venom is also killer! Let's just dive headfirst into the SKZ rabbit hole...
The Lalalala MV had takes on One Piece, the Dark Night, and Mad Max. It was supposed to be nightmares the little kid was having before he had to perform. But he did fine in the end! It was in the storyboard for the MV documentary. Truly brilliant.
Okay, since you’ve said that you wanted to learn putting faces to voices, I’ll recommend some unit songs! 3RACHA (Producing. Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) - HEYDAY, 3RACHA, Runner’s High, ZONE. There also is a more jokey type of song that they made when they were younger called “WOW”
I love XG, and I am so so sorry that people were giving you hate comments.Don’t apologize, THEY SHOULD! Especially with it being your first time , not knowing who is who and how many, and they all look similar so I get it. I’m an XG fan but not hardcore, but I noticed some XG fans are pretty sensitive and rude, especially if you were to call XG “kpop.” Some Stays can be toxic, but for the most part, many a try to be as kind as SKZ, and they will not hesitate to educate you
Don't apologize for mixing or mispronouncing their names! I love to see new people getting hooked on Skz. The rabbit hole is deep, and you are in for a ride. They are 99% self produced geniuses. Welcome to Stayville and enjoy!
I love a newcomer to Kpop.. I love how quickly Megaverse became an intro/outro.. GOT7's Just Right was my first Kpop song. Just throwing that out there to age myself.
My intro to K-pop was Taeyang's Wedding dress lol so don't worry about age. I have been a fan of the industry since 2nd gen. Stray Kids are my second favorite group in the industry bested only by BigBang (my forever ults), and Ateez is in 3rd.
Sorry about the experience and need to take down a video. That's why I chose Stray Kids and being a STAY. There are genuine care, love and respect within Stray Kids. Stray Kids would do everything for Stay and Stay's are inviting educators encouraging a "Baby Stay's journey. As you go along and watch Stray Kids other type of content you will discover that it all starts with Bang Chan (The Best Leader). There's not a bad bone in this man's body and he's pouring it over Stray Kids and they are pouring it over Stay. That's why Stay hold Stray Kids backs no matter what! M/V suggestion; to get a sence of how it started "Stray Kids The Survival Show" MV Hellevator, District 9, Miroh, Double Knot. If discovering new songs Easy, Maniac, Back Door, Top Line, Get Lit, Super Bowl, Red Light.
Highly recommend listening to Charmer and Hall of Fame! Neither have a music video but they have unofficial color coded lyric videos that could help with learning the names, faces, and voices of skz :)
Please do Topline, Cheese, and Item! Some Kingdom performances would be cool to see as well. Also, I really enjoy your videos, please don't let haters get to you!
I saw a behind the scenes video that said this MV is about beating anxiety/ stage fright. All the pirate ship, bank heist, and dancing stuff is what's going on inside the little band kids.
If you happen to be interested in getting to know Stray Kids, besides musically, I recommend you take a look at their program Stray Kids Code and don't worry about Copyright because it's free for reactions, there you can get to know what the members are like off-screen and their names, start with episode 1 and
Matching faces to names is hard for everyone in the beginning, especially when they change hair every single MV, I promise you'll get better at it. Sorry about all the hate you were getting, I saw that comment section and it was pretty rude 😬 but im glad you decided to continue with Stray Kids! Stays are usually very nice to people new to the fandom, so hopefully (cough cough 👀 cough) everyone here will try to help as you learn.
I always love how Stay casually write in comments half of their biography and discography. :)) And I read them as if I don't know all of them already, lol. Well, I haven't seen a comment(but maybe there is) talking/explaining LALALALA so I'll do it as well as I can. I will ask for apologise in advance for my bad explaining skills and if I say something wrong. The album is called 樂-STAR or ROCK-STAR in English. 樂 is a Chinese character and it means pleasure or joy and it's pronounced as "LA". The word "樂" in Korean, sounds alike with ROCK. The 8 children in the video represent Stray Kids themselves when they debuted. Those monsters represent the fear or the negative emotions. Also, each place comes along with Chinese characters that represent emotions: Pirates- Anger The clowns in the bank- Happiness The white one- Sadness And the last one- Joy/Pleasure (樂) Each emotion disappeares at a time. The first one is anger, second happiness and third sadness, but joy/pleasure stays. Basically, in this song they're saying to live the moment, to live in present, not in the past or the future and enjoy those moments. By "ROCK-STAR" they don't mean especially the music gender rock, but the free spirit, that is expressing itself and tells what is in its mind and heart. Also, 2:58 that buss has a meaning too. It's a reference to their debut song, District 9 in the date of 25th March (3).
17:59 the one who is singing is hyunjin, he's actually mostly known for his rap and dance as he is apart of danceracha(including lee know, felix, and hyunjin) but like all of the members he's also an all-rounder, right after him is bang chan(the oldest member and the leader of stray kids) who is hitting that high note 18:15 and 18:28, and you were right with seungnim as well, seungmin is also apart of vocalracha(which includes seungmin and i.n) To help clarify the dif subunits: 3Racha(producers, songwriters, composers, etc they pretty much do everything on that note for stray kids): Bangchan(leader), Changbin(lead rapper), HAN(ace) Danceracha(in charge of dance routines, especially lee know, who used to be a backup dancer for BTS before debut): lee know, hyunjin, and felix Vocalracha(main vocalists and have the most stable voices): seungmin, and i.n I suggest watching some introductory videos, there are some that are only 20 or so min long that have the main points, cant remember from the top of my head but if you search for quick skz introductions it'll likely show up Hope that helped some
'3Racha' by 3Racha (Han, Chan, Changbin) is considered UK Drill! Epic rap song from our boys ❤️❤️❤️ It doesn't have a MV, but it's worth it to watch the lyric video!
It’s terrible that people are so rude that they can’t understand someone getting things wrong when listening to a new group for the first time. I’m sorry that you had to deal with that. As for start kids, I would recommend watching a guide to get to know the members! As amazing as they are as artists they’re even more amazing people! They have so many fun side shows and behind the scenes videos that let us see them as people and how hard they work!
Speaking of drill... 3Racha by 3Racha is a drill beat. It's Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. Definitely check it out. Also, Freeze is in my top 10 for Skz songs. It has my favorite Felix flow in it (2nd time he raps). I'm a Bang Chan (one with the scar) bias but I have nothing but love and respect for all of them. If you pause Mountains at the right moment when Changbin raps at the beginning, it shows a skeleton him being electrocuted haha All of them have unique voices but they still work so well together ❤ Felixs definitely itches peoples brains in a certain way, lol. Sometimes you can find more detailed info on credits so I post that if I can.. Lalalala Bang Chan (3Racha) - lyrics, composition, arrangement, all instruments Changbin (3Racha) - lyrics, composition Han (3Racha) - lyrics, composition Versachoi - composition, arrangement, all instruments, programming Freeze LYRICS BY 3RACHA COMPOSED BY 3RACHA, Trippy ARRANGED BY Trippy, Bang Chan Mountains LYRICS BY 3RACHA COMPOSED BY 3RACHA, VERSACHOI ARRANGED BY VERSACHOI, Bang Chan
I love all the STAYS in the comments this time, super positive, and you're doing great hun, keep up the awesome work. True Stay will always support love for our kids.
Okay I'm gonna go recommend some of the most popular songs from them (and the instrumentals go crazy that'll be stuck in ur head for sure) 1.Maniac Then for super swag,chill,laid back, but still slaying w the rapping, u should do 2. Easy One of the earlier songs of them that will surely get u hyped especially the rapping in the pre chorus ( if I remember correctly, the song is their first win) u should listen to 3. Miroh
The real Stays in the comments are soo happy and grateful that you're spending the time to dive in and relate with us. Please do not confuse the haters in the comments as real fans! You're also doing amazing with names btw. You should for sure check out some more of their rap like 3racha by stray kids (only the subunit '3racha' is on this one, which includes members Chan, Changbin, and Han) No music video but there's a color coded lyrics one! :)
I'm super loving watching your journey with Stray Kids! If you want to start putting names to faces better you could always react to a guide video but the best ones are like and hour+ lol guess you could cut it up for YT though if you wanted but thats all your choice. Bang Chan was the guy in Freeze who had that impressive face scar you liked in the beginning and he was singing "One more time I break the ice" in that falsetto at the end. You did accurately point out Hyunjin and Seungmin in Freeze though so you're getting there! Highly recommend Cheese and Topline if you wanna see some attitude lol
I really wish you watch their silly videos. They are amazing in the songs but I LOVE THEM interacting with eachother. They are like a family and I laugh so much every time😂.
25:44 The ones who usually rap fast are Han, Changbin and Hyunjin! (: And in Mountains it was Hyunjin. It’s confusing at first but once you’re more familiar with them you'll be able to tell them apart! Thanks for the reaction btw, I'm absolutely loving your journey so far (:
the song FNF is really beautiful, bangchan and Felix are Australian and love their hometown, and they wrote FNF together, touching on the destruction the fires in Australia caused
I really hope you do the 3RACHA, Taste, and Can't Stop trio. They're subunit songs, so you'll be able to learn names a bit easier. (There are shortened live versions, so I recommend the lyric video and then the live videos)
I love the fact that when he gets surprised and asks "who was that?" is always Hyunjin (long hair), and every time he gets moved by the harmony or how airy it was or smtg like that, is always Bang Chan's magic
LALALALA is such an interesting song, both lyrically and with the video! You picked up on it being about enjoying yourself, there's a really interesting word play going on in the song which is hard to translate So the title in Korean is 락 (樂), which is pronounced as rak/rock. The subtitles show the lyrics as "feel the rock" etc, but there's a super cool double meaning! The chinese character 樂 (pronounced as rak/rock) actually means pleasure, which is the vibe you were picking up on!! SKZ love to write double meanings into their lyrics, i could talk forever about how jjam on their new album has a triple meaning word play going on In the video, you saw the different scenes. The 8 little kids are about to go on stage for the first time, and the monster is showing how scared they are. There are 4 chinese characters floating in the air, 喜 怒 哀 and 樂 喜 means joy/happiness, but not in the sense that we know it. It's hard to translate, but it's kind of a total happiness that acknowledges and encompasses pain and sadness. It isn't a negative emotion though, and it is portrayed by the bank robbery scene! 怒 means anger, and is portrayed by the sunken ship scene 哀 means sorrow, and is portrayed by the empty white set, which is a kind of purgatory space? And then 樂 is pleasure, which is the fire and concert set Throughout the video, you watch the other characters disappear one by one, until only pleasure is left. The kids get less and less scared of performing, because pleasure is all that is left, which is SKZ looking up at them at the end, as the kids find the pleasure of making music
I agree that mountains is an anthem of stray kids but I feel like their anthem is “Hall of Fame” (no mv but there is a lyric video). You could also react to a performance of “Hall of Fame” so you can see the choreo and hear how they sing it live, the power they have when singing it live hypes me up sm. It’s an amazing song and shows how proud they are of where they are in life. (To me at least 😭) They also have an OST for Deadpool & Wolverine called “Slash” (again no mv but a lyric vid) which is fire in my opinion. Ty so much for your dedication to reacting and showing love to stray kids! I’m loving the reactions too! I hope you’ll be able to react to the guide soon so you can see how they act outside of performances and mv’s! Rest and take your time!
Oh thank you so much for the reactions, I absolutely love Stray Kids and always welcome new reactionaries)))))) Really looking forward to getting to know the guys better and checking out the big guide. Yes it's 2 hours long, but it's so much better than the short ones. Anyway, thanks again and have a good day) Looking forward to more reactions). And my recommendations for today: 3RACHA (Stray Kids) - 3RACHA ( no clip I advise you to find a video with lyrics) Stray Kids - THE SOUND And let's go with something a little more mellow and sad.) Stray Kids - scars Stray Kids - Lonely St. Stray Kids Felix - Deep end ( no clip I advise you to find a video with lyrics)
I think many of us were lured in to SKZ by Felix, even though he is not my bias I totally understand you. Hyunjin = He-un-jin Seungmin = Soong-min My favorite reaction is the following: 1- react to behind the scene recording of Megaverse/Cover Me 2- react to the mv of Megaverse 3- react to the color coded Cover Me. The recording shows how they record and interact while working. It shows their roles in the group. Please do this, you won’t regret it!
STAY/ALPHAZ🐺 on deck. Enjoyed your excitement reactions. LALALALA: You was right. The song is a Vibrant Celebration of music and life, encouraging listeners to let go of their worries and immerse themselves in the moment. 4 Chinese characters disappeared one by one unit one is left, happiness, anger, sadness, joy reaming. FREEZE: Stray Kids are trying to take down a group of gangsters. After a shooting scene Stray Kids were kidnapped but they all managed to escape and get away from that place but they found a lab full of chemicals belongs to gangsters so they burnt down the whole building. But there's a twist. I.N who's a member of Stray Kids came back and took the gun that was left on table because I.N is the gangs boss disgusted as a Stray Kids member. MOUNTAIN: You was right. Stray Kids song Mountain is a Powerful anthem that encapsulates them of resilience, triumph, and unyielding pride. Felix controlling the Parallel Universe again. The scene with the lighting Striking down city hitting Changbin if you notice the lighting shows image of Changbin body as Skeleton form.
People have already commented what I would want to say, so I’m just here to cheer your content on! You notice things that I don’t even think of on my first watch LOL side note: you would love learning their personalities
I first want to say I’m sorry you experienced that with your other video. I hope you never get that again bc you don’t deserve that. People need to be more understanding, we have all been there with any group until we got to know them! Lalalala it represents stage fright and the scary emotions that can happen (linking to the children). The 4 symbols are above them and start disappearing as the song goes on until I believe it is joy that remains. There are SO many Easter eggs in the song, from the bus saying District 325 (meaning their debut date 3/25) to movie references like pirates of the Caribbean and the Dark Knight with the clown masks. Please listen to the rock version as well! I think you’d really enjoy Item, there are some live performances but not MV. You could react to the music/lyrics. It is my personal fav as a gamer. They just slay it with everything they do! Also Easy is an earlier one from them but it is SO goooood, that one has an MV. One that was in Deadpool and Wolverine is called Slash and it doesn’t have a MV but it is worth a listen!!! You could do it and focus on the lyrics!! Also want to throw in there, Deep End was on their SKZ Replay album and it is all Felix. It will shake you to your core, and yes, that is him the WHOLE time. Also, please vote for Stray Kids, they are nominated on the MTV VMAs in the K-Pop group!! They deserve that win!! ❤❤❤
❤❤ i like your attention to detail and i hope you stay always with as You don't have to respond or justify anything as long as it's your taste and your own, but I'm happy and excited to share your journey to Stray Kids World.
I enjoy your videos, they are authentic and I love that you go in blind watching them. There are some really toxic fans around. But there are also a lot of really lovely ones. Xxxx
have you noticed how they sneak around the rule of not swearing? like doing oh shoosh instead of oh shit, cutting the cuss words off in the middle etc haha
I'm so sorry to hear about that bad experience. You're absolutely doing great now. STAY thank you for supporting our boys.. and as a STAY myself, I can't wait for your next reactions ot their other songs..im sure you're aware that they have TONS of it.. so, i'll be waiting patiently for you till you get to 3racha songs.. You'll eventually be there for sure!!!❤

Interviewer: You always give Felix such iconic lines.
Bang Chan: We give Felix lines and he *makes* them iconic.
Don't apologize for stanning Felix super hard. All of the members contribute to their success, and Felix's voice is genuinely the gateway for so many fans because of its depth and uniqueness.
Never apologize for obsessing over Felix and his amazing voice. We’ve all been there…😂
I'm STILL there. 😂

I am so sorry you had to take a video down because of the comments! That should never happen and I am sorry it happened to you. I have found the Stray Kids fandom to be one of the nicest, inclusive fandoms around! I am proud to call myself a Stay! I hope you keep reacting to Stray Kids because I enjoy watching you discover what an awesome group they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤍 sing it, friend!
Sadly, i am not surprised that there are haters out there. You could do everything right and someone will find something to criticize. Just try to ignore them and just keep doing what you are doing! Its absolutely fine to engage with your audience and not spoil stuff. If you love Felix, i think Deep End and Taste really highlight his voice!
So glad you are taking the dive into Stray Kids. Truly, their music has incredible depth and in an industry of so much of the same , it's refreshing to find music that is a blend of so many genres. With a deep and diverse discography of almost 200 tracks, there really is something for everyone. They are multi talented singers, rappers, dancers each with a self awareness and unique charm that is so appealing to everyone. Their music as you've noticed has some deep meaning in the lyrics, oftentimes with multiple meanings. Much of their music is a flex, but it's never assholish. Someone mentioned that their songs were about breaking conformity, but I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. I think they say that what society thinks has no bearing on what they intend to do because they're going just keep moving forward. It's not FU. It's "We don't give a F!" They're never disrespectful in their flexing!
I haven't seen all of what you've already reacted to, but here's a short list:

@@ThenaSB-do6nhhe already reacted to both of those :)
If you want something a bit more experimental, but unbelievably epic I recommend The Tortoise and the Hare(stray kids), Side Effects (stray kids), and Mirror Mirror by Milli, F. Hero, and Stray Kids Changbin. You will not regret!
Adding onto this - for some more rapping, I recommend 3RACHA songs! Like ZONE, Runner’s High, 3RACHA (Maxident), and HEYDAY (Prod. Czaer).
ALSO (since SKZ has so much content) I Got It (Han), and Cypher (Changbin)!
@@rabbit.6stewCan i also add Maze of Memories, Top (anime ost) Hello Stranger and Just Breathe (3Racha and Sky High). I love that song too. I love too many of them.
💯 all of the above!!!
I will add, if you do Maze of Memories, go for a lyric video that is labeled OT8. 😁
React r o Social Path and Double knot please!🙂
Also 3RACHA by 3RACHA. All of these are GREAT recommendations
Don't worry, ALL OF US (STAY) are obsessed with at least one of the members 😂😂😂 I'm obsessed with Hyunjin and Lee Know for their dance style and Seungmin and Han beautiful voices
And you were right when you pointed Hyunjin and Seungmin in Freeze
And in Mountain the fast rapper in front of the computer was Hyunjin
Omg their voices are SO beautiful
FRFR
No, go in blind! Because then we get your genuine reaction.Don’t worry about those haters, they come and go but us faithful subscribers will be supporting you ❤
It's always entertaining how the male reactors always zero-in on Felix immediately. I mean, we all do to be honest. He's like the bait in the trap--before you know it, you're in for life, lol.
I've watched a LOT of SKZ reactions and the guys usually immediately stan Felix, Han, or Changbin.
Don't be too worried about getting their names correct; we have all been there. We all get Lee Know and I.N. confused for a while and Bang Chan and Changbin's names are so similar, it takes some getting used to. Here are some tricks that might help, since almost all of them change their look so frequently:
Bang Chan: he always makes me think of the All-American guy (even though he's Australian, you know what I mean).
Lee Know: sharp features, vocally he does falsetto quite a lot but has a crazy range and an incredible dancer
Changbin: Muscles, aggressive rapper with the sweetest singing voice
Hyunjin: usually long hair (mostly blonde or black but not always), long limbs, crazy good dancer, stupid beautiful
Han: incredible rapper, SWAG, incredible vocalist, chubby cheeks (especially when he eats), when he raps, his mouth movement is very distinct--shows his teeth alot, lol
Felix: obvious, gorgeous, freckles
Seungmin: incredible vocalist, usually the first one people recognize because of his distinct features, if you watch (non-song) content, he is savage and energetic like a puppy (not as much now but in the older stuff)
I.N.: also sharp, angular features but his nose is more rounded than Lee Know's, smiles a lot, wide jaw (more of a square shaped face), very distinct voice--higher than the others'
Lalalala is competing for this year's VMA in the Best Kpop category
Really? It's possibly my favourite. I hope it wins!!!!
@@MISSYGful vote for them
17:42 Hyunjin

25:28 Hyunjin

I understand you are confused. they can be rappers, vocalists and dancers💥
Nice
19:20 IN was the undercover mafia boss that infiltrated SKZ. You'd have to be able to read the Korean newspapers they're holding, to get the plot.
Yep, I.N was the mafia boss. At the end, Hyunjin is reading about him. The paper basically described I.N. and he went missing (or got away). That's why Hyunjin was upset. The I.N walks in at the end, pulling the gun on us!
As a rap fan, MUDDY WATER!!
( but it’s a sub-unit with just Changbin, HAN, Hyunjin, and Felix) and there’s no MV so you’d have to listen to the track only.
Also, since you are connecting with the message in the lyrics I recommend listening to some of the older songs (Grow Up, Chronosarus, My Pace, Voices)
*But just a note those MVs are when they had 9 members, before one chose to leave at the end of 2019. All MVs from 2020 on have the 8 members as they are now.
To echo someone else in the comments, I hope the positive comments will hold more weight for you than the negative because most of us STAYs want Stray Kids to be appreciated for all the things you are praising them for. It took me a while to get a lot of the information too and of course interacting with people is a good way to do that.
Hyunjin is the one that had that very fast rap sucking on a popsicle or whatever.
You are quickly becoming my favorite Stray Kids reactor. Watching you go through it makes me remember how I felt and still do about their music. Hyunjin is the guy with the soft tine in Freeze and the fast rap you liked in Mountains. You'll quickly realize that all 8 members can rap and sing well. My recommendation for songs...
1. Venom
2. Easy
3. Charmer
Sorry you had such a bad experience with comments. It's your channel and you can choose what you want. I am excited to experience your stray kids journey with you. They have so much music that that fit every mood. And i love that they are unapologetic about experimenting with their music and genres. Can't wait for more stray kids.
Agreed 👍 Apparently XG is an over aggressive Fandom.
Even old stays are always obsessing over Felix's voice. It's unmatchable, our angel with a demon voice. Stray kids are the hype fathers!
It's interesting that you mentioned ADHD. Most of my favourite Stray Kids reactors have said they have ADHD. I don't know if it just makes for good reactors in general, or if it is specific to Stray kids especially. I feel like the beat change ups and genre changes, multiple different vocals and raps, amazing transitions, aesthetics and cinematography, hair/ make-up, choreography, costumes etc, all makes it such a feast for the brain...that it attracts a certain type of open minded person. Add to that the uplifting, supportive and often fun lyrics...and the fun, random and caring personalities of the Stray Kids...and you seem to get a fandom of lovely, supportive people. Welcome to Stayville, I hope you STAY. ❤
You got hyunjin and seugmin right in Freeze. The rapper in mountains was hyunjin, he is an amazing singer rapper and dancer. 8 all rounders with Han being the ace.
8:15 I think what Felix brings is contrast, since his voice is SO different than any of the other members (which are all pretty unique to begin with) it adds a new element that always stands out.
In this video the different scenes are homage to Mad Max, Dark Knight and Pirates of the Caribbean. Love this video.
Woah that makes so much sense🤯
oh yes there's those also they characters above their heads are Chinese characters that mean Joy anger sorrow and please (or rak said like rock). I believe the different scenes represent those as well with the fire (Mad Max) representing Rak (pleasure), Dark Night representing anger, the white scene representing Joy and Pirates representing Sorrow. I say this because if you watch the characters disappear since the giants destroy them, those scene slowly go away as well, leave Rak left. the first to go is anger, then Joy, sorrow, leaving pleasure.
I wish more people will appreciate the amount of effort reactors like you are and all content-makers put for us… I hope the song “Youtiful” will somehow make you feel better (for me it always works. Lyrics in English and MV - beautiful animation)
Thanks for your time!
It would be great if you reacted to their song Cover Me, Maze of memories (please see the 2021version) and The Tortoise and Hare (this is one of Stray Kids and Stays' favorite songs)
When it comes to straykids, there’s 1 of 2 genres you’ll find; either a really deep meaning about toxic relationships, mental health, happiness, purpose etc… or songs that are just a massive fuck you to social anxiety. That’s what lalala is. “락 (rak)” in Korean is very similar to the work rock, so it’s a play on the words. But the whole song is a MASSIVE fu to social conformity
Definitely check out their older songs. You would enjoy them. Double knot, victory song, miroh, Hellevator and district 9.
Chronosaurus, Voice, Secret Secret, Silent Cry, M.I.A.. Oh noo I love all their song.. ❤
Thank you for another SKZ reaction. I love that you do multiple music videos in one of your reactions. We STAY will never complain about longer SKZ reactions!!. It seems like you really are enjoying your Stray Kids journey. Im excited for you to see more 😊
Wow.. that was a truly heartbreaking intro and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I know I struggle as a kpop fan myself trying to just enjoy my timelines but it’s always wrought with hate, fan wars, and negativity. I can’t believe you had to experience it so soon and so personally. That sucks. But now that it’s happened, just know that fandoms have a spectrum, there’s really great people and really awful people. It’s inevitable that you’ll eventually see or experience the wrath of a kpop stan scorned. But I hope that you will also receive a lot of love and support from the good ones ❤ on a lighter note, I was really excited to come watch this video lol, I had to stop before I got to the good stuff because the intro just hurt a lot but now I’m going to go enjoy it lol I’ll say it every video, but thank you so much for taking the time to do these, I hope it brings you joy
If you want to better understand the skz lore, I highly recommend watching the music videos: "Hellevetor", "District 9", "I am you", "Miroh", "Side effects", "Double knot" and "Levanter" (in the order I gave) and then watch the video titled ,,Stray Kids: Prequel (Highlight Reel)" on the official JYP channel.
Btw such a great reaction. I hope you will stay with us for a long time
You don't deserve the hate brother , your reactions are immaculate, thank you for reacting to SKZ 🙏
Pls react to Hall of fame ( has no m/v I recommend a lyric video) , Up all night ( it's a SKZ record , SKZ records are personal projects from the members, it has an M/V ), charmer ( has no M/V , recommend a lyric video), Sunshine ( a chill R&B song that has no M/V)
If you have the chance I recommend watching a StrayKids guide video so you can watch 🙏🙏🙏
Venom, side effects, easy, and chronosaurus for suggestions 😊. Your intro was heart wrenching. I agree 100% with everyone who stated the fact that it's your channel to do with whatever you choose. I am just happy to be able to enjoy your reactions, even if i don't comment often. Thank you for just being you, and for sharing your time with us. Almost forgot to say your doing great 🎉
1:00 don´t worry,you are right, is normal make mistakes and is fine if you dont now things. you dont deserve hate
*sighs* No boo, do your own thang, don't listen to those specific people, okay? Those people just don't understand that you cannot have something be spoiled before you actually watch it. It's 100% better if you hear information from the fans directly or even from watching the videos. Otherwise, you could literally go read everything in one day and boom, you wouldn't have anything left to react to because everything was already spoiled for you, so your reaction wouldn't be as genuine. Just do your thing, take your time, you should not be forced to research specific topics and "get educated" or any of that BS before you react to it. The blind reactions is what we mostly look forward to. I seriously enjoy watching people get super hyped over my favorite groups when they react to something they haven't seen or heard before. It's the best part of watching people react. Those 7 people just don't know how it works. You might get some of those comments from any fandom out there, unfortunately it's not something you can avoid. :( I think that the best option is to just either ignore those people or give it to them straight. They want to be rude, give them the same type of respect back. I know it's not ideal because you're trying to gain viewers not lose them, but sometimes it's just what has to be done. Or you can just tell them nicely as well, something along the lines of, "I apologize but I'm completely new to them, and I'm just getting to know them. I don't know how to get the information without having anything get spoiled for me before I even react to it." Majority of the people should understand, but there are some real toxic ones out there as well, if worse comes to worse and they don't leave (because they definitely have that option, no one is stopping them from leaving) you can always just report them for being hateful and erase their comment. :) Just trying to give you some genuine advice, I want to see you succeed. Definitely, please keep going forward with your reactions, I'll accept anything that comes from the heart. As a society, I really think we all just need to be more understanding and actually try to listen to people when they're trying to get their point across. Too many people nowadays hear a few words and they've already had enough, when they haven't given even 50% of their attention. They might think they're better than everyone else or just be that insecure about themselves that they have to push others down to make themselves feel better. Tbh, this is actually why I love Stray Kids, (I know that the group you were talking about was XG and it has nothing to do with Stray Kids but I'm mentioning them just to get my point across) their music tackles this type of behavior constantly which I just freaking love and it's the whole reason why I keep coming back to them every day. Their music and lyrics and actions are just that powerful and truly inspiring. Anyways, my point is, just go at your own pace, don't rush anything, and you don't owe them anything if they plan to be disrespectful. More often than not they're just trying to seek attention and they feed off of that, so sometimes it's just better to ignore them. You ignore them and they'll get bored and have nothing left to use to their advantage. Keep going forward my friend
Thank you Akira you definitely made me feel a lot better🫶🏻 i appreciate your support
Say it louder i love it 🤘👍😁
funny moment compilations or even skz code, or racha logs uploaded by the official youtube accounts are a fun way to learn faces names and personalities
also! people should be pretty kind about learning since we all had to do it at one point as well. anyone giving you trouble for making mistakes, or fanning over one member a lot-- dont pay it much mind. there'll be 5 more people supporting u for each person trying to pick a fight for no reason lmao
As a fellow Felix bias, i would LOVE to see you react to Deep End ❤
For LALALALA, To give a LITTLE BIT of context (as there is quite a lot to unravel).. throughout the video you’ll see Chinese characters (letters) that represent emotions,
Anger, happiness, sadness, and joy. The former disappearing one by one until only Joy is left. The character left sounds similar to “Rock” or at least they’re interpreting that way and means joy so there you’ll find the connection!
Commenting under here cause I was gonna say smth similar! Ty for summarizing it concisely ❤
Also, I believe the different sets were designed to reflect those different emotions (happiness, anger, sadness, and joy/fun)
I've also always seen the 8 kids as mirrors to the members who are at first scared but have allowed their confidence and sense of joy to ultimately push them forward.
I am glad you wrote this. There is so much more to discuss on LA LA LA alone - but you have really helped. I remember reading it was about their doubts about their abilities or performing on stage - so it was about performance anxiety and them just talking themselves through it and enjoying the act of performing on stage.
@@LiluMummy yes! I was trying not to write a novel so just summed up more of the visual aspect 😅
@@RLM66 you did good, #stay !!
As 3Racha (Bang Chan, Han, Chanbin) are producing their songs, they exactly know how to use Felix‘s extraordinary voice to most advantage for Stray Kids‘ music. The deeper you get into their music you will notice how they are using the full range of dynamics in rhythm and stress as well as of the full range of the members vocals to get the most interesting and dramatic effect. Felix’ voice often is used to create a moment of quietness, grounding and focusing for the listener. The same way as Seungmins and I.Ns and sometimes Bang Chans higher notes offer a moment of relief, before the music again
gets racing, pressing, hitting. Dynamic is one of the key characteristics of Stray Kids‘ music, I think, besides that you never know what to expect in the next moment.
Reacting to them is hard, because you can’t never get everything, neither musically, lyrically, visually. If you detect one meaning, expect there to be a double and triple meaning you did not yet grasp. That’s why it gets never boring, well, and never ending discussions
I can totally understand Felix's fascination. I got into kpop because of him when Maniac came out, his voice os fascinating 😁
Felix's voice has this Richness to it that brings a pleasant depth to each song.
0:23 I don't understand how a person can be so genuine
the guy you called handsome in the Freeze MV (the blonde in the scene where they set the fire) and the guy you praised in Moutains talking about his fast rap is Hyunjin
Thank you!!
I would give anything to listen to stray kids again for the first time, it was such a fun time in my life, so seeing reactors like you discover their music is the next best thing. Your excitement is so infectious.
Glad you found them man, you’re in for a treat. Also, getting to know the members personalities through their variety shows, interviews & behind the scenes content, like ‘skz code’ only makes you love them as a group even more…. I hope you get to explore that side of them too. There’s just so much content.
Oh and don’t worry about getting names/facts wrong at the start - I confused Lee know and I.N for a while, and thought bang chan and Changbin were the same person for ages. We’ve all been there.
If you get rec’d any songs without m/vs there are normally lyric breakdowns highlighting the member’s pictures at the top of the screen - that really helped me with picking out their voice styles and contributions in the beginning.
I think it’s fine if you don’t want to have any knowledge before your first reactions. If you have face blindness it’s going to likely take longer to know them individually… you can’t rely on hair color or style because they change constantly. If you want to watch ,and possibly react to, a guide there are a few. Chandora’s World has a really long in-depth one but also put out a condensed version to get started with called AQuick And Easy 2024 Guide To Stray Kids. The fast rap in Mountains was Hyunjin who was also the blond in Freeze who’s vocal you liked.
If you are newly obsessed, then you are in great company! 🎉Welcome🎉
Speaking of obsession, I'd like recommend "Red Lights" as it does a fantastic job of reminding us that SKZ are just as human as the rest of us 😊. It was done by only two members (BangChan and Hyunjin), but still worth the watch!
If you like a good rap, TopLine ft. Tiger JK is another good one. Venom is also killer!
Let's just dive headfirst into the SKZ rabbit hole...
The Lalalala MV had takes on One Piece, the Dark Night, and Mad Max. It was supposed to be nightmares the little kid was having before he had to perform. But he did fine in the end! It was in the storyboard for the MV documentary. Truly brilliant.
17:42 yes you're right, This is Hyunjin also known as the "visual" and "Main dancer" of the group.
Can't wait to you react to songs from where Stray kids start thier journey
Okay, since you’ve said that you wanted to learn putting faces to voices, I’ll recommend some unit songs!
3RACHA (Producing. Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) - HEYDAY, 3RACHA, Runner’s High, ZONE. There also is a more jokey type of song that they made when they were younger called “WOW”
I love XG, and I am so so sorry that people were giving you hate comments.Don’t apologize, THEY SHOULD! Especially with it being your first time , not knowing who is who and how many, and they all look similar so I get it. I’m an XG fan but not hardcore, but I noticed some XG fans are pretty sensitive and rude, especially if you were to call XG “kpop.” Some Stays can be toxic, but for the most part, many a try to be as kind as SKZ, and they will not hesitate to educate you
Don't apologize for mixing or mispronouncing their names! I love to see new people getting hooked on Skz. The rabbit hole is deep, and you are in for a ride. They are 99% self produced geniuses. Welcome to Stayville and enjoy!
I love a newcomer to Kpop.. I love how quickly Megaverse became an intro/outro.. GOT7's Just Right was my first Kpop song. Just throwing that out there to age myself.
My intro to K-pop was Taeyang's Wedding dress lol so don't worry about age. I have been a fan of the industry since 2nd gen. Stray Kids are my second favorite group in the industry bested only by BigBang (my forever ults), and Ateez is in 3rd.
It's alright mine was literally i am the best by 2ne1 and perfect man from shinhwa.
@@Dimaura99 Neaga Chae Chalaga... Love it.
Mine was DBSK rising sun.
Ngl ive been waiting for a new SKZ vid! I enjoy your reactions 😆 keep em coming!
Sorry about the experience and need to take down a video. That's why I chose Stray Kids and being a STAY. There are genuine care, love and respect within Stray Kids. Stray Kids would do everything for Stay and Stay's are inviting educators encouraging a "Baby Stay's journey. As you go along and watch Stray Kids other type of content you will discover that it all starts with Bang Chan (The Best Leader). There's not a bad bone in this man's body and he's pouring it over Stray Kids and they are pouring it over Stay. That's why Stay hold Stray Kids backs no matter what!
M/V suggestion; to get a sence of how it started "Stray Kids The Survival Show" MV Hellevator, District 9, Miroh, Double Knot. If discovering new songs Easy, Maniac, Back Door, Top Line, Get Lit, Super Bowl, Red Light.
Highly recommend listening to Charmer and Hall of Fame! Neither have a music video but they have unofficial color coded lyric videos that could help with learning the names, faces, and voices of skz :)
Maniac next 💚🖤
Okay!
Please do Topline, Cheese, and Item! Some Kingdom performances would be cool to see as well. Also, I really enjoy your videos, please don't let haters get to you!
Both the people you asked about [light breathy chorus in Freeze and the fast rap in Mountains] were both Hyunjin 😊
I saw a behind the scenes video that said this MV is about beating anxiety/ stage fright. All the pirate ship, bank heist, and dancing stuff is what's going on inside the little band kids.
I'm addicted to Felix's legendary voice. He literally kills me every time I hear his voice.😭😭
ITS SO GOOD
If you happen to be interested in getting to know Stray Kids, besides musically, I recommend you take a look at their program Stray Kids Code and don't worry about Copyright because it's free for reactions, there you can get to know what the members are like off-screen and their names, start with episode 1 and
Matching faces to names is hard for everyone in the beginning, especially when they change hair every single MV, I promise you'll get better at it. Sorry about all the hate you were getting, I saw that comment section and it was pretty rude 😬 but im glad you decided to continue with Stray Kids! Stays are usually very nice to people new to the fandom, so hopefully (cough cough 👀 cough) everyone here will try to help as you learn.
I always love how Stay casually write in comments half of their biography and discography. :))
And I read them as if I don't know all of them already, lol.
Well, I haven't seen a comment(but maybe there is) talking/explaining LALALALA so I'll do it as well as I can. I will ask for apologise in advance for my bad explaining skills and if I say something wrong.
The album is called 樂-STAR or ROCK-STAR in English. 樂 is a Chinese character and it means pleasure or joy and it's pronounced as "LA". The word "樂" in Korean, sounds alike with ROCK. The 8 children in the video represent Stray Kids themselves when they debuted. Those monsters represent the fear or the negative emotions. Also, each place comes along with Chinese characters that represent emotions:
Pirates- Anger
The clowns in the bank- Happiness
The white one- Sadness
And the last one- Joy/Pleasure (樂)
Each emotion disappeares at a time. The first one is anger, second happiness and third sadness, but joy/pleasure stays. Basically, in this song they're saying to live the moment, to live in present, not in the past or the future and enjoy those moments. By "ROCK-STAR" they don't mean especially the music gender rock, but the free spirit, that is expressing itself and tells what is in its mind and heart.
Also, 2:58 that buss has a meaning too. It's a reference to their debut song, District 9 in the date of 25th March (3).
Thank you for this comment, I was preparing myself to try and explain but you did great!

17:59 the one who is singing is hyunjin, he's actually mostly known for his rap and dance as he is apart of danceracha(including lee know, felix, and hyunjin) but like all of the members he's also an all-rounder, right after him is bang chan(the oldest member and the leader of stray kids) who is hitting that high note 18:15 and 18:28, and you were right with seungnim as well, seungmin is also apart of vocalracha(which includes seungmin and i.n)
To help clarify the dif subunits:
3Racha(producers, songwriters, composers, etc they pretty much do everything on that note for stray kids): Bangchan(leader), Changbin(lead rapper), HAN(ace)
Danceracha(in charge of dance routines, especially lee know, who used to be a backup dancer for BTS before debut): lee know, hyunjin, and felix
Vocalracha(main vocalists and have the most stable voices): seungmin, and i.n
I suggest watching some introductory videos, there are some that are only 20 or so min long that have the main points, cant remember from the top of my head but if you search for quick skz introductions it'll likely show up
Hope that helped some
'3Racha' by 3Racha (Han, Chan, Changbin) is considered UK Drill! Epic rap song from our boys ❤️❤️❤️ It doesn't have a MV, but it's worth it to watch the lyric video!
It’s terrible that people are so rude that they can’t understand someone getting things wrong when listening to a new group for the first time. I’m sorry that you had to deal with that.
As for start kids, I would recommend watching a guide to get to know the members! As amazing as they are as artists they’re even more amazing people! They have so many fun side shows and behind the scenes videos that let us see them as people and how hard they work!
You would enjoy their video "FAM" as it will introduce you to each member by name/nickname.
Speaking of drill... 3Racha by 3Racha is a drill beat. It's Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. Definitely check it out.
Also, Freeze is in my top 10 for Skz songs. It has my favorite Felix flow in it (2nd time he raps).
I'm a Bang Chan (one with the scar) bias but I have nothing but love and respect for all of them.
If you pause Mountains at the right moment when Changbin raps at the beginning, it shows a skeleton him being electrocuted haha
All of them have unique voices but they still work so well together ❤
Felixs definitely itches peoples brains in a certain way, lol.
Sometimes you can find more detailed info on credits so I post that if I can..

Omg im so happy you reacted to Freeze❤ its definitely my top 3 SKZ song
I recommend "Maze of memories", a b-side song, very different
The making of the M/V’s are awesome! Especially for Lalala and Thunderous! The drones scaring them in Lalala is epic!
I love all the STAYS in the comments this time, super positive, and you're doing great hun, keep up the awesome work. True Stay will always support love for our kids.
Okay I'm gonna go recommend some of the most popular songs from them (and the instrumentals go crazy that'll be stuck in ur head for sure)
1.Maniac
Then for super swag,chill,laid back, but still slaying w the rapping, u should do
2. Easy
One of the earlier songs of them that will surely get u hyped especially the rapping in the pre chorus ( if I remember correctly, the song is their first win) u should listen to
3. Miroh
The real Stays in the comments are soo happy and grateful that you're spending the time to dive in and relate with us. Please do not confuse the haters in the comments as real fans! You're also doing amazing with names btw. You should for sure check out some more of their rap like 3racha by stray kids (only the subunit '3racha' is on this one, which includes members Chan, Changbin, and Han) No music video but there's a color coded lyrics one! :)
17:51 That's Hyunjin
22:12 That is Felix's voice
25:43 That's Hyunjin
I'm super loving watching your journey with Stray Kids! If you want to start putting names to faces better you could always react to a guide video but the best ones are like and hour+ lol guess you could cut it up for YT though if you wanted but thats all your choice. Bang Chan was the guy in Freeze who had that impressive face scar you liked in the beginning and he was singing "One more time I break the ice" in that falsetto at the end. You did accurately point out Hyunjin and Seungmin in Freeze though so you're getting there! Highly recommend Cheese and Topline if you wanna see some attitude lol
I love how much you appreciate Felix🤭 he has been my ultimate bias since 2019, he's just THAT cool
I really wish you watch their silly videos. They are amazing in the songs but I LOVE THEM interacting with eachother. They are like a family and I laugh so much every time😂.
25:44 The ones who usually rap fast are Han, Changbin and Hyunjin! (: And in Mountains it was Hyunjin. It’s confusing at first but once you’re more familiar with them you'll be able to tell them apart! Thanks for the reaction btw, I'm absolutely loving your journey so far (:
I love your reactions so much. You're a natural, you just get it, and when you give your thoughts, it's always interesting.
Felix draws in stays like a magnet 😂😂😂😂
the song FNF is really beautiful, bangchan and Felix are Australian and love their hometown, and they wrote FNF together, touching on the destruction the fires in Australia caused
I really hope you do the 3RACHA, Taste, and Can't Stop trio. They're subunit songs, so you'll be able to learn names a bit easier. (There are shortened live versions, so I recommend the lyric video and then the live videos)
Yes 3Racha!!!
I love Taste
I love the fact that when he gets surprised and asks "who was that?" is always Hyunjin (long hair), and every time he gets moved by the harmony or how airy it was or smtg like that, is always Bang Chan's magic
LALALALA is such an interesting song, both lyrically and with the video! You picked up on it being about enjoying yourself, there's a really interesting word play going on in the song which is hard to translate
So the title in Korean is 락 (樂), which is pronounced as rak/rock. The subtitles show the lyrics as "feel the rock" etc, but there's a super cool double meaning! The chinese character 樂 (pronounced as rak/rock) actually means pleasure, which is the vibe you were picking up on!! SKZ love to write double meanings into their lyrics, i could talk forever about how jjam on their new album has a triple meaning word play going on
In the video, you saw the different scenes. The 8 little kids are about to go on stage for the first time, and the monster is showing how scared they are. There are 4 chinese characters floating in the air, 喜 怒 哀 and 樂
喜 means joy/happiness, but not in the sense that we know it. It's hard to translate, but it's kind of a total happiness that acknowledges and encompasses pain and sadness. It isn't a negative emotion though, and it is portrayed by the bank robbery scene!
怒 means anger, and is portrayed by the sunken ship scene
哀 means sorrow, and is portrayed by the empty white set, which is a kind of purgatory space?
And then 樂 is pleasure, which is the fire and concert set
Throughout the video, you watch the other characters disappear one by one, until only pleasure is left. The kids get less and less scared of performing, because pleasure is all that is left, which is SKZ looking up at them at the end, as the kids find the pleasure of making music
22:15 That's Felix's voice 😂👍
And i feel the same way about his voice that you do.
Love your genuine Stray Kids reactions thank you ! And yes me been Felix biased I totally get what you mean.
So if you like rap, youre def gonna like these:
Easy
3racha
We go
Muddy water
Heyday
Maze of memories
I agree that mountains is an anthem of stray kids but I feel like their anthem is “Hall of Fame” (no mv but there is a lyric video). You could also react to a performance of “Hall of Fame” so you can see the choreo and hear how they sing it live, the power they have when singing it live hypes me up sm. It’s an amazing song and shows how proud they are of where they are in life. (To me at least 😭) They also have an OST for Deadpool & Wolverine called “Slash” (again no mv but a lyric vid) which is fire in my opinion. Ty so much for your dedication to reacting and showing love to stray kids! I’m loving the reactions too! I hope you’ll be able to react to the guide soon so you can see how they act outside of performances and mv’s! Rest and take your time!
FELIX HIS VOCAL ARE AMAZING KING OF KPOP👑⭐🌠💫🌟😇
Oh thank you so much for the reactions, I absolutely love Stray Kids and always welcome new reactionaries))))))
Really looking forward to getting to know the guys better and checking out the big guide. Yes it's 2 hours long, but it's so much better than the short ones. Anyway, thanks again and have a good day) Looking forward to more reactions).
And my recommendations for today:
3RACHA (Stray Kids) - 3RACHA ( no clip I advise you to find a video with lyrics)
Stray Kids - THE SOUND
And let's go with something a little more mellow and sad.)
Stray Kids - scars
Stray Kids - Lonely St.
Stray Kids Felix - Deep end ( no clip I advise you to find a video with lyrics)
I think many of us were lured in to SKZ by Felix, even though he is not my bias I totally understand you.
Hyunjin = He-un-jin
Seungmin = Soong-min
My favorite reaction is the following:
1- react to behind the scene recording of Megaverse/Cover Me
2- react to the mv of Megaverse
3- react to the color coded Cover Me.
The recording shows how they record and interact while working. It shows their roles in the group.
Please do this, you won’t regret it!
STAY/ALPHAZ🐺 on deck.
Enjoyed your excitement reactions.
LALALALA: You was right. The song is a Vibrant Celebration of music and life, encouraging listeners to let go of their worries and immerse themselves in the moment. 4 Chinese characters disappeared one by one unit one is left, happiness, anger, sadness, joy reaming.
FREEZE: Stray Kids are trying to take down a group of gangsters. After a shooting scene Stray Kids were kidnapped but they all managed to escape and get away from that place but they found a lab full of chemicals belongs to gangsters so they burnt down the whole building. But there's a twist. I.N who's a member of Stray Kids came back and took the gun that was left on table because I.N is the gangs boss disgusted as a Stray Kids member.
MOUNTAIN:
You was right. Stray Kids song Mountain is a Powerful anthem that encapsulates them of resilience, triumph, and unyielding pride. Felix controlling the Parallel Universe again. The scene with the lighting Striking down city hitting Changbin if you notice the lighting shows image of Changbin body as Skeleton form.
SOCIAL PATH PLEASE !
Thank you for your reaction. Stray Lids are amazing! The best beat of the k-pop.
Please watch District 9 (debut song), Miroh, Easy and Item
People have already commented what I would want to say, so I’m just here to cheer your content on!
You notice things that I don’t even think of on my first watch LOL
side note: you would love learning their personalities
No one can deny, even Stray Kids, that Felix's adds that extra thing that puts skz songs all together and auguments the epic-ness of their songs!!
I first want to say I’m sorry you experienced that with your other video. I hope you never get that again bc you don’t deserve that. People need to be more understanding, we have all been there with any group until we got to know them!
Lalalala it represents stage fright and the scary emotions that can happen (linking to the children). The 4 symbols are above them and start disappearing as the song goes on until I believe it is joy that remains. There are SO many Easter eggs in the song, from the bus saying District 325 (meaning their debut date 3/25) to movie references like pirates of the Caribbean and the Dark Knight with the clown masks. Please listen to the rock version as well!
I think you’d really enjoy Item, there are some live performances but not MV. You could react to the music/lyrics. It is my personal fav as a gamer. They just slay it with everything they do! Also Easy is an earlier one from them but it is SO goooood, that one has an MV. One that was in Deadpool and Wolverine is called Slash and it doesn’t have a MV but it is worth a listen!!! You could do it and focus on the lyrics!! Also want to throw in there, Deep End was on their SKZ Replay album and it is all Felix. It will shake you to your core, and yes, that is him the WHOLE time.
Also, please vote for Stray Kids, they are nominated on the MTV VMAs in the K-Pop group!! They deserve that win!! ❤❤❤
❤❤ i like your attention to detail and i hope you stay always with as You don't have to respond or justify anything as long as it's your taste and your own, but I'm happy and excited to share your journey to Stray Kids World.
I enjoy your videos, they are authentic and I love that you go in blind watching them.
There are some really toxic fans around. But there are also a lot of really lovely ones.
Xxxx
You're doin' great... just ignore the whiners, lots of great supportive Stays out there. Enjoying your journey so far 🤍
have you noticed how they sneak around the rule of not swearing? like doing oh shoosh instead of oh shit, cutting the cuss words off in the middle etc haha
I'm so sorry to hear about that bad experience. You're absolutely doing great now. STAY thank you for supporting our boys.. and as a STAY myself, I can't wait for your next reactions ot their other songs..im sure you're aware that they have TONS of it.. so, i'll be waiting patiently for you till you get to 3racha songs.. You'll eventually be there for sure!!!❤
