It's impossible to choose bias in Stray Kids. I'm a dancer myself and Hyunjin has been the one that caught my attention first, so my love and appreciation for him and his talent is a little bit more than for other members, but I feel like if I say he's my bias, I'm betraying others :D. It's like choosing your favorite child. All of them are immensely talented in their own way.
I'll be checking out the Japanese TTs and possibly Christmas EveL (might wait for December 🎅) soon! Also seems like Domino, Easy, and Victory Song are the most requested B-Sides so far from the comments, so I'll check those out too! 😁 Then we shall get into albums which I’m totally not ready for but I’m hyped 🔥 Again suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks again for watching y'all, hope everyone is having a great week 🤍
Listen to Any , the sound , mixtape 4, awkward silence, questions(street ver) , Blueprint, The view , mixtape : oh , Fam( Jpn and Korean ver) , Tortoise and the hare , Circus , Chronosaurus , Ex , Deep end , Contradicting
If you want to get to know the group more through their music I’d suggest listening to: Cheese = a response to people saying their music is annoying (also why they named their album NoEasy) Fam (Korean Version) = this song basically has each member introduce one of the other members! The Sound = since you keep talking about their “sound”, they agree! They for sure have a sound and this song is all about it! I highly suggest dance practice videos because their choreographies are amazing and you can see them in their entirety! Thanks for the content! Stays love watching people fall in love with our boys because we get to relive it all over again!
It’s very hard to pick a bias. I am a Lee Know ult but honestly probably more so OT8. Love all members they are all so talented and amazing human beings
I only discovered Stray Kids at the end of July and they’ve really taken over my life hahah. Their music pulls you in but then their personalities make you stay (hehe).
Same happened to me, I've been in since February. They were my rock when my world fell apart in March, thanks to them I had a space to laugh and cry and keep going despite losing sight of myself.
Oh man, SAME! They found me at the beginning of June and Case 143 was MV for me. 100% their personalities are added to me becoming Stay!! I'm so excited to see so many new Stays!! Stray Kids all around the world!! :D
Case 143 - The 143 stand for the letters in I Love You. The heart things are heart monsters - basically their goal is to infect Stray Kids with love, kind of like cupid's arrow. The "cop" Stray Kids are trying to keep the "plainclothes" Stray Kids from being in love. When Seungmin rewinds it's because the SKz have given in to the feelings of love and fully embraced it. Maniac - The song is about how no one is normal, everyone is their own kind of freak or maniac, and that we're all ust cosplaying for society and we should be ourselves. S-Class - stands for being the best of the best in video games and manga, so SKz are basically saying they are the best, period. And meanwhile, in the vid they are superheroes saving the city from a monster. Also, you should check out the VMA performance of this song. They so a special extended version with a longer dance break that is amazing. ETA: I call this entire group a group of bias wreckers! Felix is TECHNICALLY my bias, but ALL of the others regularly bias wreck me, especially Hyunjin, Chan, Binnie...okay just all of them, LMAO.
3:04 hyunjin actually kinda goes deep w his voice in quite some songs. It's so wonderful (and cool lmao) to see it everytime. My favourite example is his part in victory song! The carpet and lee knows part with the woodbeams in case 143 in the beginning are a strong reference to the movie Shining! (the horror here is the unexplained attraction lmao) case 143 is such a beloved mv to me bcs of all its crack and chaotic yet plot-ness. 7:27! Since from a long time now skz have been a pioneer in great transitions and amazing mvs since god's menu! Stays think the budget increase is bcs of their growing success and the fact that they have to spend less money on the producers lmao. 143 also stands for no. of letters in I love you, referenced as 143 was a code in telegraph messages back in the day(just in case you didn't catch those details!) Stays have already covered so much in the comments so I've nothing else to say, thanks for checking them out!
I love your reactions, it makes me feel like I’m discovering them again for the first time. Excited to follow you on your journey! I don’t know that I could narrow it down to a few songs because everything they do is incredible. Venom, Easy, Charmer, Victory Song, Freeze, Domino, Muddy Water and then slower songs like Secret Secret, Scars, #LoveSTAY, Waiting for Us… they are truly a no-skip group. All of their songs are amazing.
2:59 I'm so impressed! Most people don't catch that HYUNJIN is singing that second chorus. He CAN go low. There's a really neat short somewhere of the two of them standing side by side singing Felix's part in....I can't remember which song. They're just messing around, and you can tell Hyunjin is reaching to get that low, while Felix is just singing (and nowhere near the bottom of his range). But yeah. Hyunjin did great.
As far as S-Class.......when Hyunjin is standing in front of the mirror in the alley, and it breaks, all kinds of figures appear in the alley. Those are references to other Stray Kids songs / MVs. Stray Kids like to hide little Easter Eggs in their videos and the fans like to hunt for them. For instance, all the clocks in their videos always have the time set at 3.25 - it's a reference to their debut date. Stray Kids debuted on March 25, 2018. Another example: posters and signs on the wall in their videos (and sometimes things that are being played on computer and TV screens in the video) often refer to other songs / MVs. In one of their more recent videos (the MV for Super Bowl), there's a shot of Changbin talking into a shoe - that's a reference to a very funny part of a Chan's Room episode where Han was hilariously talking into a shoe.
thanks for a new reaction! I think you have missed "christmas evel" and "winter falls"? those are both title tracks of their christmas album. regarding for b-sides, usually about half of the songs on an album has MVs, so if you plan to react on albums, just search on youtube if there is an MV. I hope you will also react to their Japanese songs, because they are great as well. fyi Korean title tracks are uploaded at the JYP youtube channel, Korean b-sides are at the Stray Kids youtube channel, Japanese title tracks and b-sides are at the Stray Kids japanese youtube channel.
5:03 "their... sound" So... who's gonna tell him? 😅 They have such a distinct sound they were called mala taste or malatang. It's addictive and unique. Spoiler alert: they have a japanese song called "The Sound"
If you'd like to see more of their creative process, choreo and recording, definitely watch their album intros! Those have really good insight to the amount of hardwork and effort they put into their craft 💕 The 5 Star intros part 1-3 are really in depth which is a great album intro to start on!
I just finished all the 4 parts of you discovering Stray Kids and I am enjoying this so much so you have a new sub here and I can't wait for more Stray Kids reactions. I genuinely love seeing people discover them. YES Stray kids have their own sound they are amazing with unstructured songs they mix genres like no other and I live for those. Also I love how versatile they are I suggest you now watch some ballads from them and you will be even more amaze. Secret Secret is one of my fave from them . Also for dance practice Domino dance practice is also a Stay fave. And OT8 is just how it is my fave change depending on the MVs and contents. They are all Bias. Can't wait for more!! Welcome to the fandom. 😁
I completely understand your struggle with picking a bias. I've been a stay since June, Han ult but all members are capable of bias wrecking me. So so excited to see your reaction to the guide and getting to know the members! They're such incredible people and have so much fun making music together 💚🥹
They do have a song called "The Sound" both Japanese and Korean. The only MV is in Japanese and their Japanese MV's don't have subtitles. But, it's a really good song. I think it's the title track for their Japanese album but don't quote me on that.
Unit and individual songs: Redlights Drive Limbo Up all night Maknae on Top Volcano Deep End Wow (3racha cringe fest) My universe Are the ones i like that come immediately to mind... there are quite a few more.
Oddinary is a play on words odd + ordinary. The title track maniac basically conveys tha everyone has a hidden side to them that's their inner manoac that they need to unleash instead of cosplaying as what society defines as normal because normal is conforming to societal expectations and boring. Maniac encourages everyone to be themselves fully. Case 143: 143 is code for I love you is pager devices. This is Stray Kid's first title track about love. There's two sides to them, one is the heart side and one is the brain side. The heart side is falling deeper and deeper into love with this person and experiencing all these confusing yet fluttering feelings for the first time. The brain side is resistant to the idea of giving up control and losing themselves to these feelings so they try to police it and catch the heart side and stop them for continuing with expressing its love. So the m/v is heart side(cheerful outfits) vs brain side (police outfits). Right before the end the police side tries to pull the giant plug connected to the heart but then Seungmin comes and time rewinds to before that happens and they're able to convince the police side that falling in love isnt bad just cause its new and vulnerable. With that they decide to tell the people they love their feelings as the heart side has won and break through the glass meant to represent our youtube screens haha so they can confess. I'm glad you enjoyed the songs even if you didnt get the story of them. And about S-Class i have no idea what the story there is lmao in the mv but in the song it's about being the best and being built different ❤
I absolutely love how you describe their music- “Stray Kids found a sound.” I’ve never heard it more beautifully said 🥹 Totally looking forward to more of your videos!!
I am a stray kids fan since pre-debut and i'm gonna say i did hear them since then and any title track is on my fav 20 songs , i think for me main songs are like 7-8/10 and bsides are like 8-10/10
12:29 S-class is one of my favorites but also I like all of them 😂💀 but S-class won a VMA’s award and there performance for S-class was dope asf they changed it up a lot to fit the western style but still kfc staying to them selfs!! I also want to point out when u said chans vocals have improved ACTUALLY Chan him self has said in the earlier days he hardly sang bc of how powerful his voice is and he is already the leader so he hardly sang bc he didn’t want to overshadow//overpower the other members but I’ve noticed in the past year or so he’s done better at show casing his skills and being more open to having more singing parts and I’m sure the members have encouraged him too bc I know I would his voice is so beautiful
And don't forget that they have a few Japanese releases - Circus (my 2nd favorite SKZ song), The Sound (top 10) and their newest Social Path (I believe it's Japanese). They also have another video called Topline feat. Tiger JK that was on the same album as S-Class (not Japanese but there's a video and the song itself is very "rap" heavy).
Its great to see your enthusiasm for our boys. Yeah OT8...thats it. I mean...Chan is my bias only because you cant live him without loving every single one of them and I do. Looking forward to seeing you discover the rest.
Great reaction! Oddinary is my personal fave album, all the songs are such a vibe, cant wait for you to get the b-sides! Venom, Freeze, and Lonely St are amazing and have mvs too. Muddy water and Waiting for us are rap line/vocal line songs. I like what you said about them finding their sound over time, I love so many of the older songs too but you can see them grow over time and even though SKZ have so much diversity and they constantly surprise us, it always sounds just like them. Other ones i can't wait for you to get to are Circus, Red Lights, Taste and 3racha ☺
It's normal that u can't choose a bias. Cs most of stays that i knew are OT8. Loving each single one of them equally and all of them. I'm one SKZ OT8, I cant choose, I have same reaction to every single one of them, proud of every single one of them and excited for every single one of them. The most talented 4th gen boy group in my opinion.
I know I said Oddinary is my fave, BUT every track drop after it is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Maxident is another fave and 5 Star truly should be AOTY. Stray kids WORLD DOMINATION!!!
3Racha are just GENIUSES! I know you said you weren't going to listen to the Japanese title tracks/B-Sides, BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO CHECK THEM OUT, EVEN THE MOST RECENT ONES: -Social Path -The Sound -Circus You will thank me.
Maybe it's just cause I went to the Maniac concert, but EVERY. SINGLE. SONG on the Oddinary album is amazing. No skips. Five Star also has a wide variety of songs that I'm obsessed with lol. Also for Maniac I don't know if you watch or read lyrics later but I just really love the meaning behind the song! Being yourself, not trying to blend in with society, etc! Also in Case 143 just your quiet, "Hello, officer" at Bang Chan was hilarious 😂😂 I think we are all OT8 anyways haha theyre all too amazing 😂
in Case 143...Hyunjin was wearing boxers, NOT a thong....in case you were wondering...🤣ifkyk whenever I watch S-Class I always think about Lee Know's bubble message about his pants being shiny🌟🤣
In Life is an older album from 2020. It's the one with God's Menu. Was listening to it today, had forgotten what a great album it is. Tortoise and the Hare, Any, Be Me, Wow, We Go, Blueprint, TA, Haven, Back Door, Easy, Phobia, Airplane...17 songs altogether. Really, really good.
I'm going to make a small list of the sides you need to hear 3rd Eye Voices Mirror 19 Awkward Silence Chronosaurus Phobia Blueprint Domino Cheese Secret Secret Muddy Waters Chill Taste Collision Get Lit Slump
I think you’re the first I’ve seen to do reacts with back to back Title Tracks, You’re so bold! I LOVE that!!! 😂 My personal opinion about Maniac(ODDINARY) and Case 143(MAXIDENT) is that Stray Kids wanted to showcase their diversity, that they can produce anything from different musical genres and they deliver, they never disappoint. 🔥 Can’t wait for you to get to know them. I support OT8 btw, my first Bias was Seungmin and Bang Chan(Bias Wrecker) now it’s HAN and Lee Know(Bias wrecker) just recently I’m getting all excited now for Changbin and I.N soon it’ll be Felix and Hyunjin, it’s so hard to choose. lol STAYs are spoiled cause Stray Kids would shower us with greats song and ain’t that such a wonderful thing ♥️
They have a lot of videos (performance videos, m/v, and street versions) for the b-sides starting with predebut. Mixtape: Grrr and Spread my Wings. I am not: Mirror and Grow up has videos.

I cant wait to watch your reaction to their bsides. Im already calling it, i bet you’ll think a lot of it should have been title tracks too.. it thaaaaat good!
From the new album kinda all of the songs are bangers. But I recommend Hall of Fame and Superbowl. And one of my favourites is CHEESE from the NOEASY album. It's also a "flex" song and i think its REALLY underrated! So happy you enjoyed the songs! Welcome to Stayville💖
you should watch their kingdom performances, hyunjin wasn't able to join due to how fvcked up jype handle situations, but they still ate, hyunjin was in their kingdom intro perf though. it was a ride or die era for stays, i'd say.
So appreciate your reactions. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 you should watch the dance rehearsals for all the m/v’s 🫶🏻 Also they released Megaverse Trailer and the full live performance off the new album Rock Star 🫣🫣🫣
10:18 this is honestly one of my favorite things to see when reactors react to S-class. "What city is that?" *two seconds later* "Oh it's Seoul" it is just very funny and endearing to me lol
Yay! Welcome to Stayville. I look forward to seeing your reactions to the Bsides. Plus I am a big fan of the Japanese tracks: Circus, ALL IN, Top, Slump, Scars, The Sound, Social Path, etc.
The little fluffy hearts are "warm and fuzzies". Like warm and fuzzy feelings that come with being in love. Nice, but sometimes annoying and confusing.
i know u've been wanting to dive into their b-sides and live performances, so i think it would be fun if u take the leap and react to 2 unreleased songs they performed in their concert last week... they recently released a stage performance video of "MEGAVERSE" and "Leave" 2 days ago and both songs are b-sides of their upcoming album Rock-star which will be released on Nov 10th. also just wanna say, i've really been looking forward to ur vids these past few days, and watch them after class to unwind for the day. watching a baby stay's journey is always so fun cuz i get to live that experience all over again and i get reminded as to why i love the kids as much as i do. thanks for this
Your reactions are great. I would've been sad if this was the end of your SKZ journey, luckily you have a ton more stuff to go. It's going to hard for you to think of their B-sides as just B-sides once you get into them.
143 = I (one letter) = LOVE (four letters) = YOU (three letters) Case 143 ......this song is about the unpredictability of......the inability to self-regulate......feelings of love. The SKZ police (our rational selves) are trying to bring order to everything by chasing down the members who are dancing around, acting silly (our irrational selves). Eventually as you saw, they pull the plug out of the wall (disconnect our brain, which is trying to stay rational) and the police disappear when the video winds itself backwards. "New" dancers appear, doing dance breaks, jumping through windows, etc. All of that symbolizes us giving up on logic and giving in to the whims of love.
I used to have a bias... then a bias and a bias wrecker... then a bias line... and I have now accepted to be OT8, which should make things simpler, but somehow it definitely does not 😂
It always feels like they knew that people would ask where they where when they made S-Class because people ask the same question and it goes "This is Seoul City " 😂.
Yeah picking a Bias is a fun game but impossible to win. I had to settle with OT8! Channie is my favourite leader, unless it's Lee Know leading dance Han is often my fave songwriter, except when he's not My fave singer is usually Seungmin or I.N or Bangchan or Han Lee Know is my fave dancer, except when he's not Han and Changbin are my fave rappers, except for Hyunjin on that one song, and also Felix I give up OT8 ❤
Funny you say this is their sound when the have a Japanese title track called "The Sound" and they literally say "this is the sound, it's our sound". You should check it out
Most Stays have a bias and a bias wrecker, and most are changing every day. I'd consider myself a OT8 as I can't choose at all. Welcome to deluluville, I mean, stayville.
Again, loved the reaction! (don't mind me saying this in every comment section lol, I js rlly like your reactions) LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE SKZ REACTIONS!❤ stay safe and healthy ❤❤❤❤
As usual my fav is maniac from these 3, s class close sec Case 143 I'd listen but not on repeat Plz do react if you want to Victory song Circus The sound Wolf gang Lost me All in Any Cheeeeeeeeeeeese plz The mixtapes series.. Leave live it's so beautiful Streetlight by changbin this one plzzzz plzzzz you'll see a different binnie through it Mirror mirror milli ft changbin and fhero awesome song And forgot 3racha predebut and after debut songs My bias line I know I am asking alot Please do check the lyrics Thank you for your awesome reactions xxx And enjoy
im kinda scared for u.... asking for b-side mvs... cuz if any kpop group would have a b-side mv, that would be straykids.... and not just 1.... usually they do at least 3 b-side mv per album, so sincerely? goodluck😂 in their last album alone(5-STAR), they released an mv for 9/12 songs (some were re-released songs but still... thats ALOT)
Have you ever seen The Shining? Watch it then watch Case143 again. As skz's only lovesong it is fitting that they made this analogy... from personal experience; relatable. 😅
You asked us to tell you if any of the b-sides have videos. Here's the reality: the _majority_ of the b-sides have videos. Many are straight-up MVs, some are a hybrid of MV and performance vid, some are self-shot "street ver"/"bldg ver" vids (these are beloved and iconic), some are "special" of "special performance" or the like. But they're _all_ the official representative videos for the b-sides. Every album gets videos for the majority of the tracks (except the predebut album _Mixtape,_ which has three vids for seven tracks because there are live performances for all the songs from the survival show anyway). If the album has three tracks, there will be at least two vids. If the album has nine tracks, there will be at least five vids. NOEASY has fourteen tracks -- we got vids of some form for _nine_ of them. There are over 100 videos. You've not even scratched the surface. Also, don't overlook the Japanese releases. Unlike most Japanese tracks made by kpop groups, the songs and videos are as high-quality as the Korean releases. We can guide you on those, as a few get confusing in which version you should watch (like there's technically an MV for "SLUMP," but we never recommend it; instead we point people toward the live First Take version). Anyway, SKZ are absurdly prolific, and even back when they had no budget for b-side vids, they hit the streets with cameras and made their own MVs because that's how much they want fans to have vids. You could watch a new vid every day through New Year's, and you still won't see them all. (And in that vein, you'll not come even close to hearing all the songs, since plenty don't have vids. You could listen to two new songs every day through New Year's, and you'd still not have heard them all. No joke.)
You are one of the rare reactors that gives credit to Hyunjin singing the 2nd Maniac part, most seem to think that Felix does both. ❤
I was shocked!!
The parts that it says maniac it’s both Felix and Hyunjin
@@MikaylaStay2023 yes
I'm pretty sure it's hyunjin with felix's voice layered
@@oddinarily Yes, but just when he sings Maniac ❤
Their B-sides have amazing M/Vs. Venom, Freeze, Social Path, Topline, Circus, Red lights they are all must and yeah they are amazing❤️🔥
Social Path is a Japanese title track. 😅 so is Circus.
Venom and Freeze are among my favourites. 😊 As is Redlights. And Social Path.
Venom is truly a mastepiece imo
I can''t wait for him to see Redlights... Nobody was ready for that
It's impossible to choose bias in Stray Kids. I'm a dancer myself and Hyunjin has been the one that caught my attention first, so my love and appreciation for him and his talent is a little bit more than for other members, but I feel like if I say he's my bias, I'm betraying others :D. It's like choosing your favorite child. All of them are immensely talented in their own way.
I'll be checking out the Japanese TTs and possibly Christmas EveL (might wait for December 🎅) soon! Also seems like Domino, Easy, and Victory Song are the most requested B-Sides so far from the comments, so I'll check those out too! 😁
Then we shall get into albums which I’m totally not ready for but I’m hyped 🔥
Again suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks again for watching y'all, hope everyone is having a great week 🤍

@@Carat-staytiny-exol._. I love your recommendations
How about albums reaction
@@timjimu will react to those as well!
@@MrAntoine1stoh thanks! I just recommended a few thinking that the most famous ones would be recommended by others anyway ❤
I just need you to know with s class, every time they perform it live Lee Know does the kick on stage. EVERY SINGLE TIME 😭😭😭😭
If you want to get to know the group more through their music I’d suggest listening to:
Cheese = a response to people saying their music is annoying (also why they named their album NoEasy)
Fam (Korean Version) = this song basically has each member introduce one of the other members!
The Sound = since you keep talking about their “sound”, they agree! They for sure have a sound and this song is all about it!
I highly suggest dance practice videos because their choreographies are amazing and you can see them in their entirety! Thanks for the content! Stays love watching people fall in love with our boys because we get to relive it all over again!
It’s very hard to pick a bias. I am a Lee Know ult but honestly probably more so OT8. Love all members they are all so talented and amazing human beings
This. ✅🙃
Same.. lee know ult but love ot8 too
I only discovered Stray Kids at the end of July and they’ve really taken over my life hahah. Their music pulls you in but then their personalities make you stay (hehe).
Literally same they got me into K-pop and it’s been a crazy 5 months( found them at the end of May).
Same happened to me, I've been in since February. They were my rock when my world fell apart in March, thanks to them I had a space to laugh and cry and keep going despite losing sight of myself.
why are we living the same lives. Maniac is the mv that not only got me into stray kids but kpop in general.
@@Onalleraanir omg Maniac was THAT song for me too
Oh man, SAME! They found me at the beginning of June and Case 143 was MV for me. 100% their personalities are added to me becoming Stay!! I'm so excited to see so many new Stays!! Stray Kids all around the world!! :D
Case 143 - The 143 stand for the letters in I Love You. The heart things are heart monsters - basically their goal is to infect Stray Kids with love, kind of like cupid's arrow. The "cop" Stray Kids are trying to keep the "plainclothes" Stray Kids from being in love. When Seungmin rewinds it's because the SKz have given in to the feelings of love and fully embraced it.
Maniac - The song is about how no one is normal, everyone is their own kind of freak or maniac, and that we're all ust cosplaying for society and we should be ourselves.
S-Class - stands for being the best of the best in video games and manga, so SKz are basically saying they are the best, period. And meanwhile, in the vid they are superheroes saving the city from a monster. Also, you should check out the VMA performance of this song. They so a special extended version with a longer dance break that is amazing.
ETA: I call this entire group a group of bias wreckers! Felix is TECHNICALLY my bias, but ALL of the others regularly bias wreck me, especially Hyunjin, Chan, Binnie...okay just all of them, LMAO.
They have so many B-sides gems. Start with Easy, Victory Song, Domino, Red Light, Freeze, Venom, Hall of Flame, Super bowl, Item.
3:04 hyunjin actually kinda goes deep w his voice in quite some songs. It's so wonderful (and cool lmao) to see it everytime. My favourite example is his part in victory song!
The carpet and lee knows part with the woodbeams in case 143 in the beginning are a strong reference to the movie Shining! (the horror here is the unexplained attraction lmao) case 143 is such a beloved mv to me bcs of all its crack and chaotic yet plot-ness. 7:27! Since from a long time now skz have been a pioneer in great transitions and amazing mvs since god's menu! Stays think the budget increase is bcs of their growing success and the fact that they have to spend less money on the producers lmao. 143 also stands for no. of letters in I love you, referenced as 143 was a code in telegraph messages back in the day(just in case you didn't catch those details!) Stays have already covered so much in the comments so I've nothing else to say, thanks for checking them out!
I really recommend watching their VMAs performance of S-Class. They did a remix with a new dance break and it left every Stay in crumbles 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love your reactions, it makes me feel like I’m discovering them again for the first time. Excited to follow you on your journey! I don’t know that I could narrow it down to a few songs because everything they do is incredible. Venom, Easy, Charmer, Victory Song, Freeze, Domino, Muddy Water and then slower songs like Secret Secret, Scars, #LoveSTAY, Waiting for Us… they are truly a no-skip group. All of their songs are amazing.
2:59 I'm so impressed! Most people don't catch that HYUNJIN is singing that second chorus. He CAN go low. There's a really neat short somewhere of the two of them standing side by side singing Felix's part in....I can't remember which song. They're just messing around, and you can tell Hyunjin is reaching to get that low, while Felix is just singing (and nowhere near the bottom of his range). But yeah. Hyunjin did great.

Thank you for recognising Hyunjin’s voice in maniac he really did great ❤
thanks for a new reaction!
I think you have missed "christmas evel" and "winter falls"? those are both title tracks of their christmas album.
regarding for b-sides, usually about half of the songs on an album has MVs, so if you plan to react on albums, just search on youtube if there is an MV. I hope you will also react to their Japanese songs, because they are great as well.
fyi Korean title tracks are uploaded at the JYP youtube channel, Korean b-sides are at the Stray Kids youtube channel, Japanese title tracks and b-sides are at the Stray Kids japanese youtube channel.
5:03 "their... sound"
So... who's gonna tell him? 😅
They have such a distinct sound they were called mala taste or malatang. It's addictive and unique.
Spoiler alert: they have a japanese song called "The Sound"
If you'd like to see more of their creative process, choreo and recording, definitely watch their album intros! Those have really good insight to the amount of hardwork and effort they put into their craft 💕
The 5 Star intros part 1-3 are really in depth which is a great album intro to start on!
You would enjoy watching their recordings! It’s awesome to see their process 😊
I just finished all the 4 parts of you discovering Stray Kids and I am enjoying this so much so you have a new sub here and I can't wait for more Stray Kids reactions. I genuinely love seeing people discover them. YES Stray kids have their own sound they are amazing with unstructured songs they mix genres like no other and I live for those. Also I love how versatile they are I suggest you now watch some ballads from them and you will be even more amaze. Secret Secret is one of my fave from them . Also for dance practice Domino dance practice is also a Stay fave. And OT8 is just how it is my fave change depending on the MVs and contents. They are all Bias. Can't wait for more!! Welcome to the fandom. 😁
I completely understand your struggle with picking a bias. I've been a stay since June, Han ult but all members are capable of bias wrecking me. So so excited to see your reaction to the guide and getting to know the members! They're such incredible people and have so much fun making music together 💚🥹
They do have a song called "The Sound" both Japanese and Korean. The only MV is in Japanese and their Japanese MV's don't have subtitles. But, it's a really good song. I think it's the title track for their Japanese album but don't quote me on that.
Unit and individual songs:
Redlights
Drive
Limbo
Up all night
Maknae on Top
Volcano
Deep End
Wow (3racha cringe fest)
My universe
Are the ones i like that come immediately to mind... there are quite a few more.
Oddinary is a play on words odd + ordinary. The title track maniac basically conveys tha everyone has a hidden side to them that's their inner manoac that they need to unleash instead of cosplaying as what society defines as normal because normal is conforming to societal expectations and boring. Maniac encourages everyone to be themselves fully.
Case 143: 143 is code for I love you is pager devices. This is Stray Kid's first title track about love. There's two sides to them, one is the heart side and one is the brain side. The heart side is falling deeper and deeper into love with this person and experiencing all these confusing yet fluttering feelings for the first time. The brain side is resistant to the idea of giving up control and losing themselves to these feelings so they try to police it and catch the heart side and stop them for continuing with expressing its love. So the m/v is heart side(cheerful outfits) vs brain side (police outfits). Right before the end the police side tries to pull the giant plug connected to the heart but then Seungmin comes and time rewinds to before that happens and they're able to convince the police side that falling in love isnt bad just cause its new and vulnerable. With that they decide to tell the people they love their feelings as the heart side has won and break through the glass meant to represent our youtube screens haha so they can confess.
I'm glad you enjoyed the songs even if you didnt get the story of them.
And about S-Class i have no idea what the story there is lmao in the mv but in the song it's about being the best and being built different ❤
I absolutely love how you describe their music- “Stray Kids found a sound.” I’ve never heard it more beautifully said 🥹
Totally looking forward to more of your videos!!
I deeply recommend you to watch the trailers of each album. They are 🔥🔥. They’re really like movie trailers
I am a stray kids fan since pre-debut and i'm gonna say i did hear them since then and any title track is on my fav 20 songs , i think for me main songs are like 7-8/10 and bsides are like 8-10/10
Someone should make a list... SKZ B SIDES THAT COULD BE CONFUSED FOR A SIDES FR.
Same!!! I live for the b-sides!!!
12:29 S-class is one of my favorites but also I like all of them 😂💀 but S-class won a VMA’s award and there performance for S-class was dope asf they changed it up a lot to fit the western style but still kfc staying to them selfs!!
I also want to point out when u said chans vocals have improved ACTUALLY Chan him self has said in the earlier days he hardly sang bc of how powerful his voice is and he is already the leader so he hardly sang bc he didn’t want to overshadow//overpower the other members but I’ve noticed in the past year or so he’s done better at show casing his skills and being more open to having more singing parts and I’m sure the members have encouraged him too bc I know I would his voice is so beautiful
Dude the ENTIRE 5 star album just…. I’m dead.😵😍😵❤️🔥❤️🔥😵
And don't forget that they have a few Japanese releases - Circus (my 2nd favorite SKZ song), The Sound (top 10) and their newest Social Path (I believe it's Japanese). They also have another video called Topline feat. Tiger JK that was on the same album as S-Class (not Japanese but there's a video and the song itself is very "rap" heavy).
Its great to see your enthusiasm for our boys.
Yeah OT8...thats it. I mean...Chan is my bias only because you cant live him without loving every single one of them and I do.
Looking forward to seeing you discover the rest.
Great reaction! Oddinary is my personal fave album, all the songs are such a vibe, cant wait for you to get the b-sides! Venom, Freeze, and Lonely St are amazing and have mvs too. Muddy water and Waiting for us are rap line/vocal line songs.
I like what you said about them finding their sound over time, I love so many of the older songs too but you can see them grow over time and even though SKZ have so much diversity and they constantly surprise us, it always sounds just like them.
Other ones i can't wait for you to get to are Circus, Red Lights, Taste and 3racha ☺
You will find so many genres within their discography. Enjoy the journey!
It's normal that u can't choose a bias. Cs most of stays that i knew are OT8. Loving each single one of them equally and all of them. I'm one SKZ OT8, I cant choose, I have same reaction to every single one of them, proud of every single one of them and excited for every single one of them.
The most talented 4th gen boy group in my opinion.
Missed one title track. Christmas Evel is technically a title track.
Let's go Stray Kids. More Stray Kids please ❤
I know I said Oddinary is my fave, BUT every track drop after it is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Maxident is another fave and 5 Star truly should be AOTY.
Stray kids WORLD DOMINATION!!!
3Racha are just GENIUSES! I know you said you weren't going to listen to the Japanese title tracks/B-Sides, BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO CHECK THEM OUT, EVEN THE MOST RECENT ONES:
-Social Path
-The Sound
-Circus
You will thank me.
Maybe it's just cause I went to the Maniac concert, but EVERY. SINGLE. SONG on the Oddinary album is amazing. No skips. Five Star also has a wide variety of songs that I'm obsessed with lol.
Also for Maniac I don't know if you watch or read lyrics later but I just really love the meaning behind the song! Being yourself, not trying to blend in with society, etc!
Also in Case 143 just your quiet, "Hello, officer" at Bang Chan was hilarious 😂😂
I think we are all OT8 anyways haha theyre all too amazing 😂
in Case 143...Hyunjin was wearing boxers, NOT a thong....in case you were wondering...🤣ifkyk
whenever I watch S-Class I always think about Lee Know's bubble message about his pants being shiny🌟🤣
In Life is an older album from 2020. It's the one with God's Menu. Was listening to it today, had forgotten what a great album it is. Tortoise and the Hare, Any, Be Me, Wow, We Go, Blueprint, TA, Haven, Back Door, Easy, Phobia, Airplane...17 songs altogether. Really, really good.
I'm going to make a small list of the sides you need to hear
3rd Eye
Voices
Mirror
19
Awkward Silence
Chronosaurus
Phobia
Blueprint
Domino
Cheese
Secret Secret
Muddy Waters
Chill
Taste
Collision
Get Lit
Slump
I'd love to see a reaction to 'time out' or 'blueprint', but no pressure and do it with your speed. Thanks for the reaction ❤❤❤
I love your reactions to SKZ ❤❤❤
my fav songs:
circus(Japanese version)
item
charmer
domino
taste
3racha
topline
hall of fame
super bowl
social path
Nice taste love those too except for taste
Great list
S-CLASS HIT DIFFERENT🔥😭
I think you’re the first I’ve seen to do reacts with back to back Title Tracks, You’re so bold! I LOVE that!!! 😂
My personal opinion about Maniac(ODDINARY) and Case 143(MAXIDENT) is that Stray Kids wanted to showcase their diversity, that they can produce anything from different musical genres and they deliver, they never disappoint. 🔥
Can’t wait for you to get to know them. I support OT8 btw, my first Bias was Seungmin and Bang Chan(Bias Wrecker) now it’s HAN and Lee Know(Bias wrecker) just recently I’m getting all excited now for Changbin and I.N soon it’ll be Felix and Hyunjin, it’s so hard to choose. lol
STAYs are spoiled cause Stray Kids would shower us with greats song and ain’t that such a wonderful thing ♥️

Oddinary might be my favourite album too
Every song kills
I cant wait to watch your reaction to their bsides. Im already calling it, i bet you’ll think a lot of it should have been title tracks too.. it thaaaaat good!
From the new album kinda all of the songs are bangers. But I recommend Hall of Fame and Superbowl. And one of my favourites is CHEESE from the NOEASY album. It's also a "flex" song and i think its REALLY underrated!
So happy you enjoyed the songs! Welcome to Stayville💖
you should watch their kingdom performances, hyunjin wasn't able to join due to how fvcked up jype handle situations, but they still ate, hyunjin was in their kingdom intro perf though. it was a ride or die era for stays, i'd say.
ok, now you are one of my fav skz reactors😊 tysm for sharing this with us!
So appreciate your reactions. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 you should watch the dance rehearsals for all the m/v’s 🫶🏻
Also they released Megaverse Trailer and the full live performance off the new album Rock Star 🫣🫣🫣
Loving your reactions! SKZ are different. It’s awesome seeing you get it
10:18 this is honestly one of my favorite things to see when reactors react to S-class. "What city is that?" *two seconds later* "Oh it's Seoul" it is just very funny and endearing to me lol
I hope you also react to their B-side MVs, they're equally as good as the Title MVs
Yay! Welcome to Stayville.
I look forward to seeing your reactions to the Bsides.
Plus I am a big fan of the Japanese tracks: Circus, ALL IN, Top, Slump, Scars, The Sound, Social Path, etc.
bsides are life changing
Majority of Stayville is ot8. Some might have a bias (I don’t know how) but a the end of the day all of us are ot8 😂😂
The little fluffy hearts are "warm and fuzzies". Like warm and fuzzy feelings that come with being in love. Nice, but sometimes annoying and confusing.
i know u've been wanting to dive into their b-sides and live performances, so i think it would be fun if u take the leap and react to 2 unreleased songs they performed in their concert last week... they recently released a stage performance video of "MEGAVERSE" and "Leave" 2 days ago and both songs are b-sides of their upcoming album Rock-star which will be released on Nov 10th.
also just wanna say, i've really been looking forward to ur vids these past few days, and watch them after class to unwind for the day. watching a baby stay's journey is always so fun cuz i get to live that experience all over again and i get reminded as to why i love the kids as much as i do. thanks for this
aww this is so sweet, I appreciate it so much! I'm glad to have you all along this ride with me :)
Your reactions are great. I would've been sad if this was the end of your SKZ journey, luckily you have a ton more stuff to go. It's going to hard for you to think of their B-sides as just B-sides once you get into them.
143 = I (one letter) = LOVE (four letters) = YOU (three letters)
Case 143 ......this song is about the unpredictability of......the inability to self-regulate......feelings of love.
The SKZ police (our rational selves) are trying to bring order to everything by chasing down the members who are dancing around, acting silly (our irrational selves).
Eventually as you saw, they pull the plug out of the wall (disconnect our brain, which is trying to stay rational) and the police disappear when the video winds itself backwards. "New" dancers appear, doing dance breaks, jumping through windows, etc. All of that symbolizes us giving up on logic and giving in to the whims of love.
They really said, "nah you're not allowed to breath anymore."
always look forward to your reactions!
I used to have a bias... then a bias and a bias wrecker... then a bias line... and I have now accepted to be OT8, which should make things simpler, but somehow it definitely does not 😂
It always feels like they knew that people would ask where they where when they made S-Class because people ask the same question and it goes "This is Seoul City " 😂.
Yeah picking a Bias is a fun game but impossible to win. I had to settle with OT8!
Channie is my favourite leader, unless it's Lee Know leading dance
Han is often my fave songwriter, except when he's not
My fave singer is usually Seungmin or I.N or Bangchan or Han
Lee Know is my fave dancer, except when he's not
Han and Changbin are my fave rappers, except for Hyunjin on that one song, and also Felix
I give up
OT8 ❤
Funny you say this is their sound when the have a Japanese title track called "The Sound" and they literally say "this is the sound, it's our sound". You should check it out
Ok list of mvs/songs you must listen to/watch:
Levanter English version.
Christmas Evel (MV)
Venom (MV)
Top line (MV)
Heyday
3Racha
Super Bowl
Case 143. A love song.😂❤

Cinnibus: oh ok my bad
Me: 😂🤣 💀 ☠️
Yes another reaction! Thank you have a great time reacting to the guide and B-sides :)
Cara, você precisa reagir as musicas japonesas, são perfeitas. Minha ordem de preferências Social Path > The Sound > Circus
Please check out the B sides ....most of them if not all of them could've been title tracks anyway 🤷🏻♀
Seungmin❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Most Stays have a bias and a bias wrecker, and most are changing every day. I'd consider myself a OT8 as I can't choose at all. Welcome to deluluville, I mean, stayville.
Again, loved the reaction! (don't mind me saying this in every comment section lol, I js rlly like your reactions)
LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE SKZ REACTIONS!❤ stay safe and healthy ❤❤❤❤

No, you forgot their Japanese title track, The Sound. It was released sometime before S-Class.
Love your react 👍! Thank you. Stray kids 🔥🔥🔥💓💓💓.
Can you listen to "Cheese" by stray kids. I think this song is perfect.....😅😊
I’m still failing it.😂
🖤 💯 🖤 🔥 🖤
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
plz b-sides mv venom, topline..ect
Their b sides look like title tracks........ 😅
the hearts? theyre just little guys
im kinda scared for u.... asking for b-side mvs... cuz if any kpop group would have a b-side mv, that would be straykids.... and not just 1.... usually they do at least 3 b-side mv per album, so sincerely? goodluck😂 in their last album alone(5-STAR), they released an mv for 9/12 songs (some were re-released songs but still... thats ALOT)
Have you ever seen The Shining? Watch it then watch Case143 again. As skz's only lovesong it is fitting that they made this analogy... from personal experience; relatable. 😅
You asked us to tell you if any of the b-sides have videos. Here's the reality: the _majority_ of the b-sides have videos. Many are straight-up MVs, some are a hybrid of MV and performance vid, some are self-shot "street ver"/"bldg ver" vids (these are beloved and iconic), some are "special" of "special performance" or the like. But they're _all_ the official representative videos for the b-sides. Every album gets videos for the majority of the tracks (except the predebut album _Mixtape,_ which has three vids for seven tracks because there are live performances for all the songs from the survival show anyway). If the album has three tracks, there will be at least two vids. If the album has nine tracks, there will be at least five vids. NOEASY has fourteen tracks -- we got vids of some form for _nine_ of them.
There are over 100 videos. You've not even scratched the surface. Also, don't overlook the Japanese releases. Unlike most Japanese tracks made by kpop groups, the songs and videos are as high-quality as the Korean releases. We can guide you on those, as a few get confusing in which version you should watch (like there's technically an MV for "SLUMP," but we never recommend it; instead we point people toward the live First Take version).
Anyway, SKZ are absurdly prolific, and even back when they had no budget for b-side vids, they hit the streets with cameras and made their own MVs because that's how much they want fans to have vids. You could watch a new vid every day through New Year's, and you still won't see them all. (And in that vein, you'll not come even close to hearing all the songs, since plenty don't have vids. You could listen to two new songs every day through New Year's, and you'd still not have heard them all. No joke.)
