The paper bag people mean people turning them down(haters)but a lot of the song is about chan’s trainee years… Btw the song is 60% English and rest is Japanese
I love love love the number of times you paused and the insane amount of info you.uncovered here while explaining the editing! For example I had not seen the claws in Changbin's eye, those are pretty scary. This MV is so packed with details it should require 100 rewatches to see everything for my untrained eyes... As always, amazing reaction, learned a lot and missed you a lot too (I have to check if you reacted to the Superbowl jp MV, I don't remember seeing that one)
Hey bro i just wanted to say i am sorry if i made you uncomfortable. You replied to one of my comments in which i said "stop this self promotion at the start of the video it's getting annoying" where you list the artist that you edited but i didn't realise how it may have affected your mental so i am genuinely sorry i kinda feel bad now.
hey man, i just wanted to say thank you for saying that you're a christian because i am too and today i just really needed to hear that. got no idea why exactly, but i appreciated it and i appreciate you! dont let those silly comments get you down! :D
Chan wrote this song about his pre debut phase when he was struggling with depression and also had s**cidal thoughts. This is such a meaningful and good song ❤
okay time to cry a little: i knew it had to based somewhat on real feelings because like they are giving up their youth. i mean i think the age range for them is 21-25. they came together in 2018 meaning they have lost the tail end of their teens and all of their college years really.
@@allylove1338Chan especially had to leave his entire home and family behind and move to a different country at the age of 13. He could never make many friends because they all left or debuted without him, and when he was the only trainee left, he struggled with suicidal thoughts and depression. In his own words, stray kids really did save him and I’m glad he was able to find a family in them ❣️
Bangchan: ergophobia (anxiety about work especially deadlines) 10:13 Lk: Acrophobia (fear of heights) 2:38 Changbin: Somniphobia (nightmares and sleep paralysis) 1:29 Hyunjin: (fear of lonelyness) 2:43 Han: (social anxiety and panic attacks) 1:56 Felix: (overthinking) 8:37 Seungmin: Claustrophobia 4:16 IN: athazagoraphobia (fear of being forgotten or ignore) 4:21 the song was based on each of their own personal experiences 🥺 - Bangchan is an extreme workaholic as we unfortunately know - minho has expressed some fear of heights in the past (thunderous filming on the roof of a BUILDING) - Changbin has told stories about ocasional sleep paralysis - Hyunjin was getting hate for his bullying scandal and in one of the kids rooms he told how he almost thought he wouldn't be able to return to skz 😭 - We know Han suffers from panic attacks (expecially in the beginning of his career but also recently) - Felix is an overthinker in a lot of things as he cares a lot - actually im not to sure about seungmin srry - also dont know too much about IN but maybe he might have felt underwhelmed sometimes as he is the youngest?? edit: @kenze2088 made an excellent point for seungmin Seungmin unforuntaely does receive a lot of hate and it must be very suffocating SOBBING
I'm also not sure about Seungmin and I.N. but I think Seungmin's could be about the hate he received and how suffocating it felt? And I.N. was often overlooked a lot, and got a lot of love for being so baby, and maybe he was worried that as he grows up and changes, he'll be left behind?
The shot with Seungmin standing encircled by people is SO INCREDIBLY SMART because their white shoes form a ring that looks like teeth in an open mouth waiting to swallow him. GAH THIS DIRECTOR!!! Also, thank you for those ending comments.
YES! I was really surprised he didn't point this out. You can feel like you're being eaten alive at times when outside opinions, judgments and expectations force their way into your head. To me, this sequence with Seungmin is one of the most disturbing. He's squeezed into that narrow hallway, with nowhere else to go, doubts and questions chasing him and then he is surrounded and on the verge of being chewed up and swallowed by it all. 😧 Horrifying.
This song hits so much harder when you think about it specifically as Chan’s story… like 8 years as a trainee is insaneeee 😓😓 just to get to this point and still have these issues with people doubting you. So proud of SKZ and love your videos on them!
The youth part feels like Chan, but the "fan" persecution feels more like Felix's and Hyunjin's experiences. But honestly, it's all of them, and all k-pop industry and idol culture. I love them, but I hope being idols gave them more than *this*
@@kiaretts1102 Nah but Bang Chan has had so many controversies and gotten so much hate as well... for example, the whole Ive respect thing and he also did smth that I think was racially insensitive a few years back?
Honestly I feel like this song reflects so many stories from the culture of idols and for much they go through Just to reach where they are… like sadly I feel that all idols could relate to at least some of these lyrics, but I definitely think Bang Chan has experienced a lot having been a trainee for SO LONG and not even knowing whether he was going to debut or not and whether any of it was worth it
@@HelloD-n1n Bangchan got the Ive thing which felt like massive misunderstanding, the "insensitive stuff" was Hannie but also like in context he was like 13 and hadnt said much different than what stupid 13 year old kids say when trashtalking without understanding what they are saying properly. It wasn't something he should've been eviscerated for and a sad reflection of what happens when too much of our learning to person is out there immortalized in typed out font to be ripped forward at any time without clarity of when-where it came from or what growth the person has had since.
@@axolotllan Oh no yeah I totally agree- hating on them is horrible and I LOVE skz, I just meant that they also suffered bc of hate from fans but they don't deserve any of that

Bang Chan saying that he wrote social path wanting people to be able to relate to it and he succeeded because this hit home. The lyricism and concept were flawless and literally had me writing an essay on it + collaborating with LiSA was like my multiverse of madness - Thanks for reacting Jordan, as an aspiring video editor you always teach me sm
Interesting interpretations of the song. I like what you thought of. Chan has talked about how he wrote the lyrics about his years as a trainee. Since he was a trainee for 7 years, he has seen a lot of mental suffering watching all his friends either debut without him, or get dropped from the programs. Chan has always looked up to LiSA & the Kids were very excited to collaborate with her. Let's see. Things I noticed in the MV. -The bag people seem to be representative of both faceless people who are both worshiping & hating at the same time, or inner doubts & thoughts that come when they are alone. -I.N is the first to stand against the tide of people & grasp the light. -Everyone stays isolated till Chan gets taken by the hands. They all had separate things happening. Being isolated, being stared at, being forced to constantly run, being chained in one place, etc. Then Chan is taken & they are suddenly moving. -LiSA seems to be a unified voice leading them in a direction. She has the lines " the ashes to prove my passion burning endlessly" (Or close to it....I am horrible at remembering exact lyrics) -When they are unified & moving against the crowds, the ones who are most able to withstand pressure without flinching are in the lead. (Lee Know, and Changbin are the most obvious at the front making a path for the others) -When they reach the wall Chan had been trapped against, they tear it open. There is only 7 of them when this happens....They are going through to reach Chan. (Chan has said in multiple instances that the other members have saved him. If it wasn't for them, he doesn't even think he would be on this planet) -When they are 8 is the only time you see them smile. -There are shadowy hands that are trying to touch Changbin in the beginning, and just as he wakes up you see clawed hands reflected in his eyes/the moon. -Felix's wing actually kinda seems slightly separate from him. Almost as if he has a guardian angel protecting him. It lifts & reveals him a little before starting to cover him again. -In the final dance scene, the only ones with no red in their outfit are Chan, Changbin, and Felix. I listened to someone explain that the colours kinda mean something. LiSA has a strong red & black theme. She seems to represent courage & determination. The others have red in their outfits because they gained those from outside sources. (Like the other members, or helpful people) The three who have no red are ones who already had those and didn't get them from an outside source. Changbin & Felix are the least effected during the MV. Felix already had an inner fire, and Changbin refused the shadowy hands. Chan was taken, but he didn't stop trying to escape. There are many flashes of Chan staring ahead, or jerking awake & not just allowing himself to be swallowed. You see him float above the people who took him, until the others break through to him.
Thank you for the video!! Just some detail want to add-in about the meaning of this MV: Few scenes represent each member's fear in real life. Bangchan: being interpret personal life from ppl crossing his boundary Lee Know: fear of height Changbin: night terrors and sleep paralysis (thx for the reply!) Hyunjin: fear of loneliness Han: social anxiety Felix: Overthinking Seungmin: Fear of tight/closed space IN: Fear of being ignore (that's why you see the papermen walking with space expanding and no one notice IN in the middle)
Jordan and whoever wants to know, they are actually reflecting their fears Bangchan: work n all Lee know: fear of heights Changbin: fear of nightmares and sleep paralysis Hyunjin: Fear of being left lonely Han: Anxiety and depression Felix: overthinking Seungmin: cluster phobia I.N: Fear of not being good enough Thanks
This is what I love about your videos you don't only react but you educate us on the editing and you interpret the song and MV so well. I really enjoy watching your reactions especially to Stray Kids. 😁.
here's a positive comment to fill your head instead of those negative ones :) you're an amazing reactor! i love how you always provide so many different angles to analyse these music videos that really gives me new perspectives on the meanings of these songs. its incredibly refreshing!
YESSSSSS!! Jordan! I have been WAITING for this... thank you thank you for your reaction!! 😊😊 Edit: 14:50 Same, Jordan!! I'm sorry you have negative comments that you're struggling with. I hope you know that there are others that support you (like me! 😊) and are cheering you on in the comments. 😊 I love your Stray Kids reactions and always look forward to them!! God Bless!! 🤗
THEY FLOP. THATS WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAY - Nasrun Sj / Nasrun_BlinkBuddy hater disguised as stan fishing likes for clout to promote channel with rotating praise copy paste comment. Praising on every Kpop idol videos while still hating on them in livestreams.
JORDAN is the reason I became a STAY. His reactions and interpretation are the only ones I wait. Thank you for all you hard work and all that you've done for skz and stays.
4:22 I was thinking this part represents how people are judging and taking you down, but afterwards they don't really care and will just take their own way and pass besides you. Like, after they make you miserable they won't even see you anymore.
For what it's worth, I started really appreciating Stray Kids' videos after I found your channel, because, yes, just watching them was fun, but you made them all the more understandable and entertaining for me. So, thank you ♥
the director of this mv is novvkim and team. they actually direct other skz music videos too, esp skz player. so they really know what kind of music video that suit skz music and potray the lyrics perfectly!
So glad you reacted to this! I absolutely love this song and the MV and this was an awesome collaboration between Lisa and Stray Kids. And I can totally relate too as a Jesus follower. It's not always easy but I can keep pushing through because God gives me the strength to. Love your reaction! God bless!
I love to see how you not only break down the edits of the video but also the meaning behind it. I appreciate that you do a lot of research too, in order to understand the music, the lyrics and all together. Thanks for the reaction. (Also, having Chan in the scene with the hands getting to him just hits different for me.)
I would like to Mention as well btw, that it's being theorised that the paper bag ppl not paying attention to Jeongin as 'fans' that don't pay attention to everyone in the group and just focus on specific members. Which honeslty is heart wrenching to a point.
I have never resonated more with a comment than 'Its such a depressed and sad song but the chorus just makes me so happy' like I feel you, it does make me happy and also does kinda sound like anime (in the best way possible obviously) I absolutely love Stray Kids and I actually found them through your videos so thank you very much for that Jordan 🥰
this is in my opinion one of the most lore filled stray kids mv (after the clé triology). Another meaning of the paper bag people is that they are anxiety itself (which we can see in the first lee know scene on which hes on the bed and the bag people are trying to take him down ig???) so its overall an amazing music video
This reaction of yours takes my appreciation to another level. Social Path lyrics and music are awesome and then you break down the technical wizardry of how, and meaningfully, why editing, lighting and special effects have been used. The group as a whole are incredibly talented and I truly appreciate the support team that assists them to bring this magic to our viewing. Also being that close to Felix's eyes will cause brain cells to over activate - breathe. Small note of interest there is a voice coach Katriinka who has done an analysis of this clip - again adding further texture and depth to our understanding of the components of this amazing MV. Enjoy.
I heard some time ago that there are a lot of hate comments towards you and I was like "Yo, what the hell is wrong with y'all??!" Like, from your reactions I feel so much energy and it makes me so happy. I literally love your videos, you're amazing and your reactions are so funny, but in the same time educative and interesting. Seeing you posted this video, my day became brighter. A few days ago I was imaginating you having a dance therapy on the song. I don't think you'll see this comment, but love from Stay!❤
Chan wrote this song about hes pre-debut time. It also includes the members their fears and thoughts. Chan: people crossing his boundaries Lee Know: Acrophobia Changbin: Somniphobia Hyunjin: Monophobia Han: Anxiety Felix: Over thinking Seungmin: claustrophobia I.N: Athazagoraphobia
Not only does Jordan react to it, like the editing and song... he even took the time to take clips from other Stray Kids content to prove his point. (I also got reminded of their origin color and style, Red and Fire, maybe because of Chan's source and that's another reason why i love Social Path so much) Showing skz survival show clips really hit the bull's eye on how Stray Kids have given up their youth for their dreams. And pointing out LiSA's role is a five star review coz Stray Kids have seniors they look up to as much as they also consistently send the message that stray kids everywhere all around the world make stray kids stay. So that's a double role on LiSA as both the senior whow guides them to a well founded future and another stray kid they're adding on their journey. And I AGREE! The chorus makes me so happy everytime i listen to it. I get really hyped by LiSA's verse coz thats like a declaration of pride and victory ❤
like i generally guessed the meaning of the song but the i always whatch you for deeper understanding of the video and the song itself, also i love your reactions and the way you explain the editing. I seriously love it❤
I love love your explanation of the MV. I hope Chan watches your reaction!!!! You are truly a genius! I am normally not an emotional person, but listening to your explanation of the storyline/lyrics almost made me cry 😢 And you are absolutely correct. The song is based on Chan's (and probably also the members') experience
This song is amazing and it makes me happy too but also your reactions and explaining and the way you express your thoughts and feelings makes me happy so much. Really I've been waiting for your reaction. And dance therapy is all that I need this day. Thank you!!!
As a stray kids fan I love your videos, but I really enjoy seeing your reactions and explanations, I don't know much about editing but you make it something that interests me, Extra point, you make me end up loving skz videos more, although sometimes it is difficult, please continue sharing your knowledge with us, there are those of us who really appreciate it
I love how you translate Stray Kids songs and well-explained the video editing. Most of all just love how you transition it with your relationship with Jesus. 🤗
Thank you so much Jordan you are amazing!!! I cried all over again with your analysis this song o see it as more than a collaborations is amazing how they fit together so well ✨❤️🩹 to me the meaning of they facing Lisa is that they both have been fighting their own battle that is similar in some ways, so they decide to fight together I just love the song, stray kids and now I love Lisa too they all did amazing, thank you so much!! ✨🤧✨
omg your analysis are always so deep, makes me appreciate the thought behind the music videos so much more...to see someone who knows what they are talking about and also recognizing the details is just so satisfying! thank u for all ur analysis! I love themm
you are the only editor i watch reacting to kpop, especially my biases, ateez and skz. you are honest to heart and you actually react to an mv by looking its story. what made me comment today is the clips of skz you used from their survival show, it means that a person searched for it and i'm so proud i randomly found you on my for you page. i wish to people that spread hate that they put themselves in all the shoes of the people they criticise, and see if it really is worth making other people sad just because you think you're perfect. thank jordan, really. you are truly amazing.
I also got anime OST vibes from the chorus and LiSA's part. Some of the shots also give anime intro/outro vibes. They have experience with anime intro/outro, so maybe that was purposeful
I wanted you to react to this so bad!! I saw somewhere that this song is about Chan and it makes sense! the "gave up my youth for my future" really does remind me of him, there are parts remind me of the others aswell. Thank you for reacting to this!
Oh my! I felt like I was in therapy watching your video. Always love your reaction because makes me see and notice things that didn’t notice before. But this time was a whole different experience. Thanks for being here for SKZ too
я в восторге от того, как ребята в конце, в последней части, во время танца теряют маску серьезности и веселятся, как на некоторых их танцевальных практиках, когда они делают их для веселья. А момент, когда Джинни проходит сквозь толпу безликих, очень напомнил момент, когда его отстранили но он прорвался, добился всего и разорвал на AOTM. Переживаю за детишек как за своих
I just realised I don’t think I have seen a reaction to stray kids’ “the sound” MV and would LOVE seeing you react to it bc that video they have there is AMAZING and I think you will be flabbergasted
I hope uk that you make our day better with your videos. I really like how you explain the message behind the video, it makes the meaning behind the music much deeper.
I’ve been waiting for this! I always look forward to your reactions/breakdowns/interpretations. Honestly, I hate when they end, because I love your excitement and knowledge, that you share with us. Once again, another great reaction.
Thank you Jordon loved the reaction and expertise breaking down the technical aspect of the video and lyrics. And most of all loved that it made you happy!!!
I love your interpretation towards the song too, while still analyzing the music video. The explanation is very thorough and insightful. Thank you for the amazing content!
I I love this channel because it explains and reacts on the videos and special effects they use and thank you for taking the time to understand the lyrics, I think the more we know about the group and their lyrics in the songs they produce, we feel identified and we know that we are not alone. ❤
Changbin: Fear of nightmares Han: social phobia Hyunjin: Fear of loneliness Felix: Overthinking Chan: Interfering in his affairs Sungmin: Fear of confined spaces Leno: Fear of heights I.n: Fear of being ignored
IN: I am a middle child…. Hyunjin: I am an only child…. Felix: my positivity is from lots of self analyzing… Chan: don’t corner me with your limited scope of understanding Han: I am an introvert Changbin: what if it’s all just a dream???? That I might wake up with nothing real…. Seungmin: I like baseball field because it is wide open Lee Know: I am a cat with 9 lives. I am not supposed to fear height…..
I am obsessed with this song! Literally could not stop listening to it on repeat for DAYS!!! Also I appreciate you being open about your faith, my guy. Keep it up!😁
Jordan the joy you exude in what you do is infectious:). I can tell that you are loved by JC and people close to you (which us the foundation to build life on). You are blessed and a blessing ❤️
Jordan is my fave SKZ reactor. Hope you see this and feel GREAT about yourself 😊 thanks for understanding the meaning behind Social Path so well, your take is so accurate. Cheers
i really like hearing your breakdown of the editing and psychological reasons behind it as well as how you interpret the hidden meanings, i try to watch every video from you whenever it comes out. thank you for existing Jordan!
9:40 dw man I love watching your videos because of how you break it down. Even before your videos it really fascinated me about the production and editing of mv's because of how impactful they are but you really helped my interest peak even higher with the break down of the editing that goes in and how it portrays the lyrics. Sometimes when watching mv's now, I catch myself focusing on the editing and how it was produced and continuously going back to see what else was included and how it follows the song so well. It's really fun that I'm starting to learn what goes into the mv and helps me appreciate everyone who worked on the mv's even more bcs of how they could envision how they want it to look and actually achieve it making the mv so impactful and interesting to the viewers.
i love this song and mv so much! thank you for the video! it’s so cool that you are telling about all effects and transitions and also about meaning of the story. i really love it, you are amazing!❤
I love your reaction not only your explanation from the editor side also the way you describe your thoughts about the song your interpretation is most time on point thank you for that and the joy that you bring me with your reaction ❤❤❤❤
These videos always make me smile. I started with first Gen K-pop. I'm so glad to see the artists now focusing more on mental health and having more creative power. The music is still so good. Love to see how the videos are made. I always look forward to your reactions.
Chan wrote this about his own experiences. His story is so heart wrenching. He left everything at 13 in Australia & went to Korea alone. He was basically alone for 6 years till he met Han. 😢 I remember him mentioning being literally alone in the dorms one year when everyone got cut from JYP & he was literally the only 1 left. Can you imagine being a young kid alone in a massive empty dorm. All his friends had debuted, & everyone else was cut. He made a decision never to get close to anyone again and ended up in a really dark place. He's made more than one reference to his mental health suffering during this time. Luckily he met Han & Changbin to form 3RACHA then later the rest of the boys & he said they saved him. 😢😭😭😭 He's literally a walking miracle. ❤❤❤❤ (Hence the levitation or ascending visual) He is so incredibly strong to overcome all he did. Knowing this made this song hit so hard.😢
Thank you so much for the video! I love that chan was able to make a song about the struggles he went through and how far he has come with his members. Lisa is such a queen and I love her. I hope one day we see this as an anime opening ❤
I’ve been waiting for you to do more Stray Kids songs! Also, as a fellow follower of Jesus, I enjoy hearing you not being afraid to speak about your faith ❤
I'm in love with the way you explain every little frame and the story behind that. I'm an Iranian girl so I love to watch your videos to improve my English and also enjoy how professional you are. ❤

- minho has expressed some fear of heights in the past (thunderous filming on the roof of a BUILDING)
- Changbin has told stories about ocasional sleep paralysis
- Hyunjin was getting hate for his bullying scandal and in one of the kids rooms he told how he almost thought he wouldn't be able to return to skz 😭
- We know Han suffers from panic attacks (expecially in the beginning of his career but also recently)
- Felix is an overthinker in a lot of things as he cares a lot

Chan has talked about how he wrote the lyrics about his years as a trainee. Since he was a trainee for 7 years, he has seen a lot of mental suffering watching all his friends either debut without him, or get dropped from the programs.
Chan has always looked up to LiSA & the Kids were very excited to collaborate with her.
Let's see. Things I noticed in the MV.
-The bag people seem to be representative of both faceless people who are both worshiping & hating at the same time, or inner doubts & thoughts that come when they are alone.
-I.N is the first to stand against the tide of people & grasp the light.
-Everyone stays isolated till Chan gets taken by the hands. They all had separate things happening. Being isolated, being stared at, being forced to constantly run, being chained in one place, etc. Then Chan is taken & they are suddenly moving.
-LiSA seems to be a unified voice leading them in a direction. She has the lines " the ashes to prove my passion burning endlessly" (Or close to it....I am horrible at remembering exact lyrics)
-When they are unified & moving against the crowds, the ones who are most able to withstand pressure without flinching are in the lead. (Lee Know, and Changbin are the most obvious at the front making a path for the others)
-When they reach the wall Chan had been trapped against, they tear it open. There is only 7 of them when this happens....They are going through to reach Chan. (Chan has said in multiple instances that the other members have saved him. If it wasn't for them, he doesn't even think he would be on this planet)
-When they are 8 is the only time you see them smile.
-There are shadowy hands that are trying to touch Changbin in the beginning, and just as he wakes up you see clawed hands reflected in his eyes/the moon.
-Felix's wing actually kinda seems slightly separate from him. Almost as if he has a guardian angel protecting him. It lifts & reveals him a little before starting to cover him again.
-In the final dance scene, the only ones with no red in their outfit are Chan, Changbin, and Felix. I listened to someone explain that the colours kinda mean something. LiSA has a strong red & black theme. She seems to represent courage & determination. The others have red in their outfits because they gained those from outside sources. (Like the other members, or helpful people) The three who have no red are ones who already had those and didn't get them from an outside source. Changbin & Felix are the least effected during the MV. Felix already had an inner fire, and Changbin refused the shadowy hands. Chan was taken, but he didn't stop trying to escape. There are many flashes of Chan staring ahead, or jerking awake & not just allowing himself to be swallowed. You see him float above the people who took him, until the others break through to him.
This is an amazing interpretation. I love it
Bro, you're not the only person who loves a close-up shot of Felix. I feel you.
real
Same here- *AHEM* I MEAN-
Same bro
The song is specifically about Chan's hardships during trainee days and it's just so sad BUT I am glad and so proud of all of them now
Thank you for the video!! Just some detail want to add-in about the meaning of this MV:
Few scenes represent each member's fear in real life.
Bangchan: being interpret personal life from ppl crossing his boundary
Lee Know: fear of height
Changbin: night terrors and sleep paralysis (thx for the reply!)
Hyunjin: fear of loneliness
Han: social anxiety
Felix: Overthinking
Seungmin: Fear of tight/closed space
IN: Fear of being ignore (that's why you see the papermen walking with space expanding and no one notice IN in the middle)
Changbin: fear of loosing muscle mass 😂 I'm joking, btw thanks for your comment, I didn't interpret it like that, it makes sense! ❤
I thought I.N was being ignored bc he's a clone in the skz universe, in almost every video he's ignored bc of that.
Changbin struggles with night terrors and sleep paralysis. That’s what his is
Yesss, I was going to say this! And I was shocked that I can relate to all of them LOL (laughing but crying)
Jordan and whoever wants to know, they are actually reflecting their fears
Bangchan: work n all
Lee know: fear of heights
Changbin: fear of nightmares and sleep paralysis
Hyunjin: Fear of being left lonely
Han: Anxiety and depression
Felix: overthinking
Seungmin: cluster phobia
I.N: Fear of not being good enough
Thanks
@mr.oddinary thanks for that ❤️
@mr.oddinary thanks for that ❤️
This is what I love about your videos you don't only react but you educate us on the editing and you interpret the song and MV so well. I really enjoy watching your reactions especially to Stray Kids. 😁.
I always look forward to when Jordan posts, his energy is contagious and it's always fascinating to hear what he has to say
here's a positive comment to fill your head instead of those negative ones :)
you're an amazing reactor! i love how you always provide so many different angles to analyse these music videos that really gives me new perspectives on the meanings of these songs. its incredibly refreshing!
YESSSSSS!! Jordan! I have been WAITING for this... thank you thank you for your reaction!! 😊😊
Edit: 14:50 Same, Jordan!! I'm sorry you have negative comments that you're struggling with. I hope you know that there are others that support you (like me! 😊) and are cheering you on in the comments. 😊 I love your Stray Kids reactions and always look forward to them!! God Bless!! 🤗
SKZ is a multi Talented visual idol. Not just talented. I repeat MULTI-TALENTED.
THEY FLOP.
THATS WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAY - Nasrun Sj / Nasrun_BlinkBuddy hater disguised as stan fishing likes for clout to promote channel with rotating praise copy paste comment. Praising on every Kpop idol videos while still hating on them in livestreams.
JORDAN is the reason I became a STAY. His reactions and interpretation are the only ones I wait. Thank you for all you hard work and all that you've done for skz and stays.
I enjoy watching him breakdown different song's meanings, creative editing, and of course the song itself!
4:22 I was thinking this part represents how people are judging and taking you down, but afterwards they don't really care and will just take their own way and pass besides you. Like, after they make you miserable they won't even see you anymore.
For what it's worth, I started really appreciating Stray Kids' videos after I found your channel, because, yes, just watching them was fun, but you made them all the more understandable and entertaining for me. So, thank you ♥
the director of this mv is novvkim and team. they actually direct other skz music videos too, esp skz player. so they really know what kind of music video that suit skz music and potray the lyrics perfectly!
Stray kids love clever word plays like their NoEasy, oddinary, and maxi-dent albums.
So glad you reacted to this! I absolutely love this song and the MV and this was an awesome collaboration between Lisa and Stray Kids. And I can totally relate too as a Jesus follower. It's not always easy but I can keep pushing through because God gives me the strength to. Love your reaction! God bless!
It will be amazing if you could do an interview series with famous kpop editors.
OOOH, yes that would be so cool!!
It is insane how happy the chorus makes me feel despite the message 😅😢
I love how there are people like him who dig deep into the MV's stories, and there is us, that don't care about that and just care about the music.
I love to see how you not only break down the edits of the video but also the meaning behind it. I appreciate that you do a lot of research too, in order to understand the music, the lyrics and all together. Thanks for the reaction.
(Also, having Chan in the scene with the hands getting to him just hits different for me.)
I would like to Mention as well btw, that it's being theorised that the paper bag ppl not paying attention to Jeongin as 'fans' that don't pay attention to everyone in the group and just focus on specific members. Which honeslty is heart wrenching to a point.
I have never resonated more with a comment than 'Its such a depressed and sad song but the chorus just makes me so happy' like I feel you, it does make me happy and also does kinda sound like anime (in the best way possible obviously) I absolutely love Stray Kids and I actually found them through your videos so thank you very much for that Jordan 🥰
this is in my opinion one of the most lore filled stray kids mv (after the clé triology). Another meaning of the paper bag people is that they are anxiety itself (which we can see in the first lee know scene on which hes on the bed and the bag people are trying to take him down ig???) so its overall an amazing music video
This reaction of yours takes my appreciation to another level. Social Path lyrics and music are awesome and then you break down the technical wizardry of how, and meaningfully, why editing, lighting and special effects have been used. The group as a whole are incredibly talented and I truly appreciate the support team that assists them to bring this magic to our viewing. Also being that close to Felix's eyes will cause brain cells to over activate - breathe.
Small note of interest there is a voice coach Katriinka who has done an analysis of this clip - again adding further texture and depth to our understanding of the components of this amazing MV. Enjoy.
Your reaction always make me thinking about the MV and story more and it also make me enjoy it more
Thankyou❤❤
I love when Jordan randomly bursts into dance.
I heard some time ago that there are a lot of hate comments towards you and I was like "Yo, what the hell is wrong with y'all??!" Like, from your reactions I feel so much energy and it makes me so happy. I literally love your videos, you're amazing and your reactions are so funny, but in the same time educative and interesting. Seeing you posted this video, my day became brighter. A few days ago I was imaginating you having a dance therapy on the song.
I don't think you'll see this comment, but love from Stay!❤
4:49 honestly if this was an anime intro that would be fire
Chan wrote this song about hes pre-debut time. It also includes the members their fears and thoughts.
Chan: people crossing his boundaries
Lee Know: Acrophobia
Changbin: Somniphobia
Hyunjin: Monophobia
Han: Anxiety
Felix: Over thinking
Seungmin: claustrophobia
I.N: Athazagoraphobia
Not only does Jordan react to it, like the editing and song... he even took the time to take clips from other Stray Kids content to prove his point. (I also got reminded of their origin color and style, Red and Fire, maybe because of Chan's source and that's another reason why i love Social Path so much) Showing skz survival show clips really hit the bull's eye on how Stray Kids have given up their youth for their dreams. And pointing out LiSA's role is a five star review coz Stray Kids have seniors they look up to as much as they also consistently send the message that stray kids everywhere all around the world make stray kids stay. So that's a double role on LiSA as both the senior whow guides them to a well founded future and another stray kid they're adding on their journey.
And I AGREE! The chorus makes me so happy everytime i listen to it. I get really hyped by LiSA's verse coz thats like a declaration of pride and victory ❤
like i generally guessed the meaning of the song but the i always whatch you for deeper understanding of the video and the song itself, also i love your reactions and the way you explain the editing. I seriously love it❤
I’ve learned so much about cinematography and storytelling thanks to you, this song just straight up slaps!!
I love love your explanation of the MV. I hope Chan watches your reaction!!!! You are truly a genius! I am normally not an emotional person, but listening to your explanation of the storyline/lyrics almost made me cry 😢 And you are absolutely correct. The song is based on Chan's (and probably also the members') experience
I love watching your reaction to mvs! The way you explain every single details of the mvs..
This song is amazing and it makes me happy too but also your reactions and explaining and the way you express your thoughts and feelings makes me happy so much. Really I've been waiting for your reaction. And dance therapy is all that I need this day. Thank you!!!
I love all the details you tell us that most people will miss and your commentaries are so hilarious!
As a stray kids fan I love your videos, but I really enjoy seeing your reactions and explanations, I don't know much about editing but you make it something that interests me,
Extra point, you make me end up loving skz videos more, although sometimes it is difficult, please continue sharing your knowledge with us, there are those of us who really appreciate it
This is the reason why straykids save me and my depression
FINALLY STRAY KIDS AROUND HERE. I didn't even watch the video yet but I already know I'll love it. Thanks for the reaction
I love how you translate Stray Kids songs and well-explained the video editing. Most of all just love how you transition it with your relationship with Jesus. 🤗
DAYUM I WAS NEVER THIS EARLY BTW YESSS IM SO EXCITED U RACTED TO THISSS
Thank you so much Jordan you are amazing!!! I cried all over again with your analysis this song o see it as more than a collaborations is amazing how they fit together so well ✨❤️🩹 to me the meaning of they facing Lisa is that they both have been fighting their own battle that is similar in some ways, so they decide to fight together I just love the song, stray kids and now I love Lisa too they all did amazing, thank you so much!! ✨🤧✨
Thankyou for this skz reaction jordan. U're the besttt
We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.
I love How you explain LITERALLY everything how they edited it and what is the story of the song
This song is actually inspired from bang chans story as a trainee for 7 years
omg your analysis are always so deep, makes me appreciate the thought behind the music videos so much more...to see someone who knows what they are talking about and also recognizing the details is just so satisfying! thank u for all ur analysis! I love themm
you are the only editor i watch reacting to kpop, especially my biases, ateez and skz. you are honest to heart and you actually react to an mv by looking its story. what made me comment today is the clips of skz you used from their survival show, it means that a person searched for it and i'm so proud i randomly found you on my for you page. i wish to people that spread hate that they put themselves in all the shoes of the people they criticise, and see if it really is worth making other people sad just because you think you're perfect. thank jordan, really. you are truly amazing.
this song makes me cry for them like they have come so far and i am so proud of them
Yeeeeees!!! I was waiting for you to react this song so long 😊Thank you 🙏🏻
I also got anime OST vibes from the chorus and LiSA's part. Some of the shots also give anime intro/outro vibes. They have experience with anime intro/outro, so maybe that was purposeful
I like how we have same intervetation of the video and how u spot the detail in the video. and watching u vibing the song make me happy too ^^
I wanted you to react to this so bad!! I saw somewhere that this song is about Chan and it makes sense! the "gave up my youth for my future" really does remind me of him, there are parts remind me of the others aswell. Thank you for reacting to this!
I always love seeing Jordan react to Stray Kids
I'm always waiting for your reaction to Stray Kids' music video ❤️🔥
Oh my! I felt like I was in therapy watching your video. Always love your reaction because makes me see and notice things that didn’t notice before. But this time was a whole different experience.
Thanks for being here for SKZ too
я в восторге от того, как ребята в конце, в последней части, во время танца теряют маску серьезности и веселятся, как на некоторых их танцевальных практиках, когда они делают их для веселья.
А момент, когда Джинни проходит сквозь толпу безликих, очень напомнил момент, когда его отстранили но он прорвался, добился всего и разорвал на AOTM. Переживаю за детишек как за своих
I just realised I don’t think I have seen a reaction to stray kids’ “the sound” MV and would LOVE seeing you react to it bc that video they have there is AMAZING and I think you will be flabbergasted
I hope uk that you make our day better with your videos. I really like how you explain the message behind the video, it makes the meaning behind the music much deeper.
I’ve been waiting for this! I always look forward to your reactions/breakdowns/interpretations. Honestly, I hate when they end, because I love your excitement and knowledge, that you share with us. Once again, another great reaction.
Thank you Jordon loved the reaction and expertise breaking down the technical aspect of the video and lyrics. And most of all loved that it made you happy!!!
I love your interpretation towards the song too, while still analyzing the music video. The explanation is very thorough and insightful. Thank you for the amazing content!
I absolutely love your take on this song. THANK YOU.
omg I'm so exicted I'm just wait for your reaction to this gem so long!!!
Your analyses always make me appreciate these MVs infinitely more! Thank you for your work ☺☺
I I love this channel because it explains and reacts on the videos and special effects they use and thank you for taking the time to understand the lyrics, I think the more we know about the group and their lyrics in the songs they produce, we feel identified and we know that we are not alone. ❤

I am obsessed with this song! Literally could not stop listening to it on repeat for DAYS!!! Also I appreciate you being open about your faith, my guy. Keep it up!😁
Jordan the joy you exude in what you do is infectious:). I can tell that you are loved by JC and people close to you (which us the foundation to build life on). You are blessed and a blessing ❤️
Feels illegal to be early ngl

I didn't noticed I watched it early till I read your comment 💀and saw the video it says 3min ago
True
Jordan is my fave SKZ reactor. Hope you see this and feel GREAT about yourself 😊 thanks for understanding the meaning behind Social Path so well, your take is so accurate. Cheers
Your interpretation of the mv is so on point it made me love it even more!! Thank you
You make me want to take up video editing.. It's story telling on another level..
Thank you Jordan
i really like hearing your breakdown of the editing and psychological reasons behind it as well as how you interpret the hidden meanings, i try to watch every video from you whenever it comes out. thank you for existing Jordan!
9:40 dw man I love watching your videos because of how you break it down. Even before your videos it really fascinated me about the production and editing of mv's because of how impactful they are but you really helped my interest peak even higher with the break down of the editing that goes in and how it portrays the lyrics. Sometimes when watching mv's now, I catch myself focusing on the editing and how it was produced and continuously going back to see what else was included and how it follows the song so well. It's really fun that I'm starting to learn what goes into the mv and helps me appreciate everyone who worked on the mv's even more bcs of how they could envision how they want it to look and actually achieve it making the mv so impactful and interesting to the viewers.
My favourite part is :
Gave Up, My Youth
For My, Future
I Just, Want To
Rise Up, Stronger
i love this song and mv so much! thank you for the video! it’s so cool that you are telling about all effects and transitions and also about meaning of the story. i really love it, you are amazing!❤
I love the last part when you said Jesus love us. I love it when people spread positive message and bless 🤍
I love your reaction not only your explanation from the editor side also the way you describe your thoughts about the song your interpretation is most time on point thank you for that and the joy that you bring me with your reaction ❤❤❤❤
God bless you Jordan 🙏🏿
I love your mv analysis and reactions
These videos always make me smile. I started with first Gen K-pop. I'm so glad to see the artists now focusing more on mental health and having more creative power. The music is still so good. Love to see how the videos are made. I always look forward to your reactions.
Chan wrote this about his own experiences. His story is so heart wrenching. He left everything at 13 in Australia & went to Korea alone. He was basically alone for 6 years till he met Han. 😢 I remember him mentioning being literally alone in the dorms one year when everyone got cut from JYP & he was literally the only 1 left. Can you imagine being a young kid alone in a massive empty dorm. All his friends had debuted, & everyone else was cut. He made a decision never to get close to anyone again and ended up in a really dark place. He's made more than one reference to his mental health suffering during this time. Luckily he met Han & Changbin to form 3RACHA then later the rest of the boys & he said they saved him. 😢😭😭😭 He's literally a walking miracle. ❤❤❤❤ (Hence the levitation or ascending visual) He is so incredibly strong to overcome all he did. Knowing this made this song hit so hard.😢
I can't understand Stray Kids lore but i love it so much. Thank you for this reaction💗
I love seeing you react and analyze these!! Also another “happy” sounding song of theirs that’s depressing is silent cry! This song is addicting!!
LOVED THIS REACTION FOR YOU!! ❤
Stray Kids have such amazing and meaningful songs, I’m so glad to be a stay.
Thank you so much for the video! I love that chan was able to make a song about the struggles he went through and how far he has come with his members. Lisa is such a queen and I love her. I hope one day we see this as an anime opening ❤
I love the way Jordan reacts to every video. It is just incredible ❤
I’ve been waiting for you to do more Stray Kids songs!
Also, as a fellow follower of Jesus, I enjoy hearing you not being afraid to speak about your faith ❤
Yayayayayay social path in da houseeee
Thank you jordan ✨✨✨
You posting made my day better. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. God bless! ❤
I'm in love with the way you explain every little frame and the story behind that. I'm an Iranian girl so I love to watch your videos to improve my English and also enjoy how professional you are. ❤
