This never gets old- the overt sexual scenes but also the underlying message of obsession with work and the flashing red lights.. they can take any simple topic and create a lyrical masterpiece
So… Red Lights is not just about the overt meaning that most people glean. They had a few episodes of behind the scenes about all the unit songs from this album called Howl in Harmony, and they made this song very intentionally sticky, but it is also about obsession in any aspect of your life - these two are known for being insomniacs, perfectionists and workaholics with Bangchan working on the music late into the night (which is referenced by ‘set the mic up’). Also worth pointing out, this is likely the same shooting location as Case 143 - the carpet from the Shining is in both.
This is most definitely the most discussed song/video of theirs. It's a masterpiece. And it's NOT about sex....it's about their obsession with their craft....music/dancing. It's beautiful. So many people misconceive the meaning of this and I think BangChan and Hyunjin (they each accuse the other of writing this) think it's amusing.
7:20 I think that shot is probably the one most reacted to in the "wait a minute!" way. Everyone's eyes always get wider and half of them are blushing or screaming, then go "oh Hyunjin's just turning over". 😢 It's like they expect to see Chan too and are very disappointed he's not there.😂.
Korean title is 강박 (sth like 'gang bak') which means obsession. I made myself laugh so hard because when I was learning hangul (their alphabet) I've read the tile wrongly: instead of gang bak I read GANG BANG. I was like WHAT THE FUUUG, then I corrected myself. I was crying so hard while laughing , because the song is sexy and I did THAT mistake XD
BackChan!!!!!😂😂😂 This is a personal favorite of mine,and most Stays I think,lol. its easy to jump to the sex conclusion with the visuals,however,whether or not it was intended as such,its supposedly about their love of their craft and being a "slave" to their passions...music,performing,dancing,etc.... They did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job with this one!!!🔥🎶🔥🎶 Hairjin!?!??? Lmao😂😂😂youre on a roll!!!😂✌
The director is NOVVKIM, one of their more frequent b-side directors (he also did Surfin' and Gone Away on this album, meaning all three of the unit songs). He's probably my favorite among the directors they work with. Anyone who can create the hidden complex story of Gone Away, the silly summer fun of Surfin', the deliberately over-the-top cringe of Your Eyes to emphasize that stage of a relationship, and the openly homoerotic bdsm art of Red Lights and its mirror-imaging to use sex/sensuality and bondage as a metaphor for the obsession and backstory of this song has range for _miles._ He listens to SKZ's input, and it shows.
I love NOVVKIM's work with SKZ! He deserves more credit honestly. He also directed the Ex MV, there's a fan theory I really like that the MV is meant to depict internalized homophobía
Your chats mentioned it but yeah there's a certain niche of SKZ song, which comprise of Red Lights, Taste and Drive which are ..... saucy. There's MV for Red Lights as you already reacted, and there's an MV for Drive which are, not really transitions-oriented. To date, there's no official MV for Taste, but you can find it's live version and be sure to prepare your heart for the choreo.
They had you speechless... 🤭 I love it! Red Lights is one of my all-time favorite SKZ songs and video. To think it was created out of a unit project with the members splitting into 3 groups. There's a fun video about all three groups and how they came up with their songs and videos.
seriously enjoy your point of view. would love to see you react to their making of MV videos. it shows a great side of them not taking things too seriously. the joy they have filming you probably wouldn't see on a Beyonce MV set.
The making was really good. I thought the hallway scene was just a mirrored shot that they edited together, but it's literally a split hallway. So fun to watch.
First song I heard by Stray Kids, and the first time I saw Bang Chan and my words were, who's back is that ?😮 I'm now a STAY no prizes for who my bias is 😅 Christina ❤ Christopher 🤭
This was an amazing reaction! Thank you. Thanks for mentioning Hyunjins dancing, he’s such a phenomenal dancer and choreographer. And you are one of the only ones to talk about that one shot with Hyunjin being so close and blurry and then the contrast with the wide open next shot. Hyunjin and Chan wrote and produced this, and there is actually behind the scenes of them making this song and MV at Howl in Harmony Song Camp episode 3,4 and 5.
I also love the way the scene where they are facing each other across the table is filmed from behind / across their respective shoulders, when the other is singing. It's creates intimacy, especially when the camera moves a little, and the view across the table is slightly obscured. The whole video is an exercise in voyeurism, and I appreciate the maturity level, especially coming from a group like Stray Kids, which has not had very many adult-themed songs so far. There are exceptions, of course. (Drive, Taste, etc) But not many. I look forward to more adult-style content now that the members are all in their early-mid 20s (and Bang Chan is even older).
Soeaking of choreo.. theres also a version with all members. You could either watch the lyrics video, or the live performance. During they maniac tour the whole group performs it and the other members got lines as well! So if you want you could first watch the lyrics video of all the members and then the live version!! TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT 😍 8:56
Hey, ROSCOE! I had to LOL when members told HYUNJIN they thought RED LIGHTS was RACY. He said ever so innocently, "You think it's racy?" No HYUNJIN, it's not racy, but it is SEXY AF! HYUNJIN did write the song, Channie translated to English. I wouldn't doubt HYUNJIN contributed to the CHOREOGRAPHY! One of my FAVORITES, song & MV. I ❤ CHRIS. I ❤ HYUNJIN. I ❤ SKZ. #chanbang #hyunjin #skz
YES HYUNJIN IS BEST AND INCREDIBLE DANCER HIS SOLO PERFORMANCE U MENTIONED ( play with fire, and mostly crew aotm) if u didn't watch when party is over choreography by himself make sure to check out
but then also that it's about their workaholism, how they end up spending nights in their craft and not sleeping 😂 at this point we better agree it's both and free for interpretation 🤣
Amazing, sensual, gorgeous song and video. And very coolly they showed the essence of a toxic, abusive relationship, when you want to leave a person, and something holds you like chains next to that person, despite the fact that the relationship literally "suffocates" you (like Hyunjin and Ban Chan each other in the clip). I'm absolutely thrilled. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At 0:54 your eyebrows were raised and then pinned to the top like a really good comment Your reaction is awesome, it is really something I can relate to! I like Stray Kids much more because of you
I always liked how at the end, Hyunjin’s ring blends into Chan’s throat tatt. You should see them react to this! For the longest time, I thought Hyunjin was breathing into a naked chest in that pillow scene.
I guess I read too many vampire novels...I get vampire lovers out of this. I can also see what everyone else is describing as the meaning(s) behind this song. Art is up to an individual's interpretation.
There's a video of the members all together where they split into three groups and came up with their song and this was chan and hyunjin song. Hyunjin explained what it meant , when he wrote it. It was about him fighting his compulsive self?he fights himself. That's why they dancing towards each other to represent the duality They explained the concept of the video. Look for it. But everyone is seeing as BL...
Red Lights is a masterpiece...

The Best Duo Our HyunChan 🔥🔥🔥
Hyunjin is ART 😘
Hyunjin is just stunning. His Play With Fire cover is gorgeous.
Red lights and drive is about traffic safety and connection is about wifi, oh yea taste is about food ofc 🥱
Yeah it’s so obvious 🙄

i nearly had a heart attack when i first saw that part 😭
@@miroh8 right?! I was like oh the guys are definitely all grown up😳...oh wait he's just tired from fighting the chains. 😅.
I also thought it was another scene both of them finally together on bed 😂😂😂
BACK CHAN LMAOOOOOO The snort I let out, that's a highlight
Korean title is 강박 (sth like 'gang bak') which means obsession.
I made myself laugh so hard because when I was learning hangul (their alphabet) I've read the tile wrongly: instead of gang bak I read GANG BANG. I was like WHAT THE FUUUG, then I corrected myself. I was crying so hard while laughing , because the song is sexy and I did THAT mistake XD
i meannn the shots tho😌😂

This is a personal favorite of mine,and most Stays I think,lol. its easy to jump to the sex conclusion with the visuals,however,whether or not it was intended as such,its supposedly about their love of their craft and being a "slave" to their passions...music,performing,dancing,etc....
They did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job with this one!!!🔥🎶🔥🎶
Hairjin!?!??? Lmao😂😂😂youre on a roll!!!😂✌
this song is ultimately about anxiety and it’s so clear once you relisten knowing that, i love how my used sexiness to portray it
One of my absolute favourites. Beautiful mv and the lyrics hit so many levels.
4:49 Just live your life, live your life. The whole Stayville is with you
There's an OT8 version of this as a live performance, if you wanna check it out. The chosen members for each line was basically perfect.

I heard he also worked with them on their new upcoming Japanese release!
@@hitomi2oo710 I just heard that this morning, and I immediately started celebrating! I can't wait to see what he did with this one!
@@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks same. He is one talented director ✨
Yes he’s such an amazing director, DLC MV from the new album was also directed by him.

YOU ARE SO REAL FOR GOING BACK TO THE SHOT WITH BANG CHANS BACK. fr like why is that so freakin attractive????
Those of us knowing the video (and song) and waiting for those very first reactions.... not left disappointed 🤣 love you

i love that “Back Chan” 😂😂
Thank you for your reaction.
Stray Kids are amazing
We love Stray Kids too❤
i think chan said once the meaning behind this is like edging like you want more but you cant have it, its a very sexual song
but then also that it's about their workaholism, how they end up spending nights in their craft and not sleeping 😂 at this point we better agree it's both and free for interpretation 🤣
You're react and facial expression is me not just the first time but every time i want this 😂. And i watch it a lot. Its one of my favorites
BackChan and Hairjin 😂
i'll die of fun 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing will ever beat Red Lights
Hahaha, I’ve never seen you lost for words before and then even making some up like oh shwat! Love it. ❤
Held my breath and stood VERY still the whole time I watched this MV for the first time. 🫠🫠🫠

Here to remind everyone to take a sip of water, maybe have the whole cup/bottle
Hyunjin Biass 💞🔥

Lmao the laugh I let out when you just silently clicked back to the shot of "Back Chan" was soooo ugly. 🤣😂 But also that's hella relatable.
🤣
Back Chan 😂😂😂 accurate
I always liked how at the end, Hyunjin’s ring blends into Chan’s throat tatt. You should see them react to this! For the longest time, I thought Hyunjin was breathing into a naked chest in that pillow scene.
Backchan and Hairjin indeed. 🙃
Shouts out to the editor too.
I just love you Roscoe. 🤣🤣🤣 I laugh out loud every single time.
