A little context to Han´s song: It´s the last part of a trilogy, starting with "Alien" where he sings about feeling not to belong and being lonely to "Human" where he recognizes that he finally found his place to "Hold my hand" where his nowadays self tells his past self that everything is going to be okay. The persona with the hat is his "Alien" self and the one with the rock star outfit (or maybe school uniform ;) is his actual self. You were right, this song and Seungmin´s song - both are very personal. And very honest. By the way: The updated version of the best SKZ guide by Chandora´s World is out. Very long and good if you want to get to know them better :) Stay will love to watch it with you! ruclips.net/video/4FTRJ0vgTZk/видео.html
-The "wife" thing is an inside joke between Hyunjin and Changbin that started in 2024 after they started living together. Hyunjin said in an interview that "wife" was his most used word in 2024 bc of this lol -Lee Know's official animal mascot is a rabbit (since ppl say he has bunny teeth) but most fans refer to him as a cat since he has cats at home and shows a lot of cat-like mannerisms. Funny enough, you were distracted by your own cat right when Lee Know mentioned his cats in this video 😂 -I think it's a good idea to wait to listen to Chk Chk Boom Japanese ver. until after ATE. That way you also get to react to the music video at the same time as the song.
Chan was a trainee for 7 long years. When Chan was trainee everyone he met and made friends with either debuted without him or left the company. At one point he was alone in the dorms for several months. This was his darkest time. He has talked about it many times before how the kids saved his life. How he "probably wouldn't still be here on Earth" if it wasn't for them coming into his life. To this day he still talks about how the kids saved and how he feels he needs to do more for them to pay them back. The 2025 Complete Guide to Stray Kids from Chandoras world just came out. It's 2 hrs but a great watch. Definitely check it out.
1:06:31 Changbin and Hyunjin have been hanging out together since trainee days. They're great friends and have the vibe of a long-married couple. When they two started living together (last year, the members settled in 4 dorms in pairs), Hyunjin started calling Changbin his wife. Changbin even joked sadly that being busy with work doesn't allow him to enjoy honeymoon time with Hyunjin at home😂 They're hilarious
@Starss_and_Raindrops it seems that in some live when fans asked questions about their living together, Hyunjin said something like, he must be a more wife now, and Changbin is like *mm, no, we're more like 50/50..*😂😂😂
I just love their separation anxiety 🤣 They like their alone time but when they're missing each other they really miss each other. So fitting that your cat showed up with you started Lee Know's video lol
1:38:36 - the thing about “being lonely reminds me of my trainee days” has a very specific explanation. Chan was actually a trainee for 7 years before he debuted. And he was very young when he started - he moved from Australia when he was 13. Imagine all your teenage years away from home in a constantly stressful environment. And on top of that he talked a lot about the time when he was in a really dark place during his trainee days - he kept training with people, who either kept getting cut from the company or debuted without him, so eventually there was a time where ALL of the trainee group that he was training with got cut besides just him (or some debuted before) and he was completely alone. He was quite depressed at that time and thought that it’s better to just not get close to anyone anymore, until a bit later he met “the kids” - the members he debuted with. He said on multiple occasions that they “saved him” and he might not even have been here now if it wasn’t for them - he was really struggling mentally being alone and having his friends constantly leaving, so meeting the members and staying with them for a long time must have been incredibly healing for his mental health
I'm not sure if this (1:24:45) has already been properly explained, but I'll give it a go! Stray Kids members are associated with various animals and foods, both by fans and among themselves. Officially, they each have a mascot called SKZOO: Bang Chan - Wolfchan, a wolf (wow) Lee Know - LeeBit, a bunny Changbin - Dwaekki, a mix of a bunny and a pink pig Hyunjin - Jinret, a ferret Han - Han Quokka, a quokka (wondering why I even) Felix - Bbokari, a chick Seungmin - PuppyM, a dog I.N. - FoxI.Ny, a fennec fox Felix and especially Lee Know are also strongly associated with cats, often referred to as Meowracha. Lee Know, in particular, is a well-known cat butler and he’s the devoted dad of three cats: Soonie, Doongie, and Dori. He's REALLY good with cats, I must say. Hyunjin is linked to dumplings because of his soft-looking cheeks and pale skin, while I.N. is associated with "baby breads", a nickname he supposedly gave himself. Some say he saw a fan call him that and liked it, others think he just likes how the Korean word for bread (ppang, 빵) sounds. We don't really know where it came from, but my guess is that his family probably called him that growing up. As of 2025, many fan accs started using kiwi for Hyunjin and strawberry for Felix (again, happens once in a while, but I only add when many fanbases do simultaneously). Not much relevant, but other emojis that were previously used to represent members in the past: Lee Know - 😈🐰 Hyunjin - 🍀 (used during his hiatus and for a short while after his return), 🦙 (they used this for a while during his debut days, but he dislikes it so we don't use it anymore) Felix - 🖤🐱 (the heart colour varied depending on his hair colour, while the cat alone was used for Lee Know). Fun fact: Some fan accounts used rat emojis for Hyunjin because there was no ferret emojis... not the best idea. These days, they mostly use the dumpling emoji (🥟) instead. Everyone is so creative ig. Also, your pronunciation of their names is great. Don't be too hard on yourself, everyone is learning!
@@serixskylark There's also many combinations for Changbin, but I didn't add because it was never used by many people simultaneously, only occasionally!
Chan, Felix and Hyunjin are all strong swimmers. Chan has a lot of medals from swimming competitions when he was in Australia. (his mum kept them all) Hyunjin was a lifeguard for a bit when he was younger and Felix is just a good swimmer. I am not the best swimmer either, but hopefully it'll be enough if I ever got into a situation where I need to swim, I could.
Sungmin initially drew a boy playing baseball... but by the end of the music video, he became a boy who plays baseball and loves music... like we really are; this is his warm story. And when he opened the book and took out a piece of paper from it, he wrote on it that the author is Seungmin and the name of the book is As We Are, and the ones who borrowed the books are the members. Their names were written on the squares with their date of birth, meaning that they borrowed Seungmin, and he will meet them in his life, whether he is a baseball player or a singer. When he ran, unlike his colleagues on the other side, he abandoned his dream of baseball and headed towards singing.
The arrows are symbolic. First shot of the mv begins with ppl in black shooting arrows at them, but when they're dancing all the many arrows have missed around em. So like no one can manage to score anything no matter how much they try.
The chaos of their group dynamic interaction is next level - you don’t really get a feel for it in the m/v making. Wait til you get to their ‘Skz code’ gameshow content (but you’ll likely see clips from that in the 2025 guide, if not TikTok, since you’re firmly embedded in the algorithm now rip). Looking forward to you discovering more of their OT8 songs, and how their mixing brings together their different voices. Once you’re caught up on the more recent big budget stuff, you can go back to their earlier discography for the emotional sucker punch. I’m going to start placing bets on what album will be your favourite. Calling it on NOEASY for now. Side note, Evie might have started her own fandom
1:24:40 his official representative animal is a bunny thats why in felixes when he saw a bunny the captions said it was leeknow hehehe but unofficially hes a cat because of his personality hes very cat like
1:33:28 he’s actually shouted out multiple reaction channels on livestreams, he’s even pointed those people out in the crowds at concerts so it’s VERY likely that he’ll eventually see yours if he hasn’t already
almost two hours, thank you for your service sir. - highlight of this video: your cat 🥺 for Japanese releases like Giant, there isn't much content on yt like intros and m/v making, but it would be cool if instead you reacted to Giant's live performance. ( definitely leave Chk Chk Boom for ATE album. )
I love watching SKZ making-of videos and dance pracs, because their MVs are so multi-layered and full of sound and visuals that it's so easy to miss so much, and it's not until you watch these extra videos, that you realise that yes you have! Fun fact: I don't know if you noticed all the antique carpets, (not sure if they actually were antiques, or just looked old), lying all around the set of Walking on Water, but the Shetland pony was standing on one as it stood next to Seungmin. You don't see here, (though there is a short showing it), but as Seungmin was singing, the pony was actually peeing all over the carpet! Could have been worse I guess! 😂
1:38:57 some content, Chan spent 7 years as a trainee. In that time he did make friends and loose a lot of them - the company debuting them/the company kicking them out/etc - so he tried to distance himself from the other trainees (so it would hurt less) and then he found the members and jyp gave him an opportunity and skz was formed. (very quick summary, but yeah... he went through a lot)
I think the main key to making enjoyable reactions is you as a reactor enjoying what you're watching, and you're actually interested. if you don't, it will show - if not now then eventually! obviously you can't know beforehand if you'll like something or not, but when it comes to behind the scenes and stuff, now that you've seen some you'll know if you enjoy it or not and will know whether you'll watch more of it in the future or not (I will say though that I personally find the behind the scenes content of all the members together more enjoyable, especially since you can tell that the members enjoy that more too) the main thing is just you doing what you want to do - we're here to see you enjoying your journey into Stray Kids! it's a bit like re-living our own discovery of and growing love towards Stray Kids. different reaction channels approach it differently, so just do what feels good to you
Hi! There are random singles that come out too, such as Hyunjin's Quill Pen, heaps from Han, that are released between albums and are not on an album. So if you fit them in the timeline it will be a quick vid drop between album reactions. You're doing awesome bro, so I wouldn't worry about your output.
Great video - thank you so much! For Giant, there isn't an intro (they don't do them for the Japanese releases, unfortunately), and I'm not sure how easy it is to find behind-the-scenes stuff with English subs. As for listening to the album, I think I would skip the Japanese version of Chk Chk Boom in favor of doing the original with the Ate album, but everything else is fine. There are music videos for Giant and Christmas Love, but just be aware that sometimes there aren't English captions available on the Japanese songs, so you might have to look at the lyrics on Genius or somewhere. It's a great album, so enjoy, and I look forward to the reaction! Also, don't worry - take your time!
9:40 The thing is, this is defininetly not an easy choreography but in comparison to other Stray Kids choreographies it is on the easier side so I think that's why they talked about it being easy in the intro.
@@marialuisacardosoferreira5685 I mean, it is simple and easier during the parts for challenges, I believe that's what they meant. If you search for that basic jype choreography (the one all trainees learn, I think kickflip, the newly debuted jype group, did it on a radio some days ago), there are 2 or 3 moves that look so much like this choreo.
I really love your chill and honest reaction towards skz !! Next I think the 2025 guide and some funny moments compilation would be great because rn you saw them separated calm and focused on their mv but when the 8 of them are together they become goofy balls and don’t stop laughing and joking around with each others !!🤣(For me stray kids is the funniest kpop group ever )
Yes, please skip the Japanese version of Chk Chk Boom until you see the original. Yay, more SKZ coming!! Another awesome reaction sir, and well done to Evie for purrfect timing on her appearance, lol.
It was fun seeing you react to this! I'm really enjoying your videos and how you actually care about being doing this! Also, I loooove long videos, it's perfect to have it while I draw to to reach my deadlines so don't worry! I'll be waiting for the next ones!
Another very enjoyable reaction, thank you very much ❤ Evie is gorgeous, we Stan black cats in this house lol as for Bangchan, he does love reactors, and if you're on Stay's radar you're most likely on his. But don't worry about pissing him off, he's the sweetest man in the world and appreciates honesty over bullshitting for views, just like us. I'm here for what's next
I am loving your reaction vids to SKZ. I'm not surprised how fast ur channel has grown since watching Stray Kids. I like that you started with the solos, you should now work backwards through their discography, react to HOP songs, then go through the ATE album, then Rock Star then 5 Star...etc. you will find plenty of bangers. Stray Kids do not disappoint
Hyunjin is calling Changbin his wife because when the two started living together last year the members said they act like newlyweds. Hyunjin and Changbin both starting calling each other wife then
Hi Hi, first of all, thank you very much for your great reactions about Stray Kids!!!❤️ Like you, I was pushed down this rabbit hole 4 months ago and am stuck😅😂 (but I don't want to get out at all!!). Unbelievable what these wonderful people accomplish. I hope I never run into Stray Kids, I would cuddle them to death😎😳😂 I don't care what you present to us next as a menu 🤭 and how long it takes you, give yourself the time! I've seen so many reactions about Stray Kids and I'm really impressed with how lovingly and respectfully you express your opinions! Keep it up!!! I wish you a lot of fun and a lot of time because you'll need it🙈 and wish you good luck on your way to a professional career as a dancer, maybe I'll see you fight in a Stray Kids video someday😉😂!!!! Kind regards from Germany Nadia🤗 
1:33:13 it might sound crazy but Channie really enjoys watching reactions because he can have like real reviews about their work. He knows even small content creators ❤ maybe he's watching you rn
I love Seungminnie so much, I sometimes wonder.. What if he never picked this career? What would I do? I think i'd feel anemoia for him. Our puppy is such a cutie and in my opinion has the best vocals i've heard in my whole life, when it comes to personal preference. His rapping is rare but he does rap sometimes, and oh my god... i've never seen a person who sings and raps so nicely at the same time. Other than that his part in 'Walkin on Water' shocked us skies (seungmins biases) once again. His charm is something else, he's so cute. When it comes to minnie I personally recommened listening to Seungmin 'You were beautiful' it's a Day6 song he covered. Day6 is a boy group under JYP Ent. (the same company as Stray Kids) and Seungmin is one of their biggest fans. You should also listen to Seungmin's cover of 'Druken Truth', his cover of '그리워해요' (originally by 2ne1), and his songs, 'Hold on', 'Stars and Raindrops'. He is, truly, an angel whose physical beauty is created by heaven and sparkles brighter than the stars, eclipsing everything around, a voice as clear as crystal, gentle as a cloud and deeper than the ocean, which is only worth hearing and you are completely powerless before him, his charm, his voice. His voice is salvation and damnation at the same time, it is like a balm for the soul and warms your heart like the dearest person at the same time piercing your soul through, tearing apart, touching the farthest corners of your heart, "leaving you the way you are." You should react to Stray Kids Story That Won't End performance on Music Core and Kingdom too, they're a must.
Take your time it may feel awkward at first. Some of the reactors I watch now were very awkward at first. Eventually, they find their comfort zone and relax when they interact with other Stay. I am here to ride along with your journey.
1:06:32 They are actually married🥰 Jokes aside, it's an in-joke between the group since the two are roommates, although the joke started long before that
Yeah Skz have separation anxiety when they are separated for just a day. When they were in quarantine for COVID, they did video calls with each other several times a day. 😂
STAYS love long videos, so never worry about that 😊. Will be waiting patiently for the guide video. Love your reacts i wld like a vid everyday but I understand the process and life, haha😂😂.
You have the best reaction I have ever seen I had so much fun watching you react to our boys ❣️ I am so glad I came across your channel☺️ thank you so much 🥰
Do ATE full album first and go back to Giant with the Japanese Chk Chk Boom. Edit to add: Do the Chandora SKZ guide first. It's long, almost 2½ hours. You can split it if you want to but we'll watch the whole thing in one go too, don't worry. You'll know the guys better. They're so much fun. PS I like your reaction videos, thank you
For reacting to new albums going forward, I recommend always listening to the original song before listening to a different type of version. For Giant, I would listen/ watch the songs in order except "Chk Chk Boom (Japanese version)". Later, when you react to "Ate" and the orginal songs, you can listen to it if you want. It's not much of a change, only the language changes, but "Chk Chk Boom" has a festival version you should definitely listen to. Along with reacting to the songs and MVs, you can watch the dance practices and other makings of the album just like you did with "Hop". I personally would like to see you react to other content of them as well, such as interviews, SKZ code, vlogs, funny fan made videos, or their own reactions to their music videos. A funny fan made video I recommend is "skz having fun while making music" posted by "Katya Strom". The video show how they're like in the studio. It doesn't "spoil" the music per se, but it does show some of their songs, so maybe put it on a back burner if you want. Lastly, for the guide, it is crazy long, so maybe split it in 2 videos with 4 members each video if you want, so you can take a break. So glad you're enjoying them and their music!!
Binnie and Hyune are roommates now. They joked that they started their new life together as husband and wife when skz moved to their new apartments last year. 😂 Roommates: Binnie and Hyune Channie and I.N Lixie and Seungmin Lee Know and Hannie
here's a small explanation for around the 57:00 mark! In Korea, depending on how close you are to someone older than you, such as a cousin/friend, you may refer to them as older brother/sister. Han is close enough with his older female cousin to call her "noona" (meaning older sister when you're a male speaker), so her husband would indeed be referred to as brother-in-law (he says "maehyung" here meaning brother-in-law, older brother to a male speaker is just "hyung"). It's also why Han then refers to their son as his nephew (in English we would say first cousin once removed)
I think it's funny that one of the first things you mention is the guide to Stray Kids. I actually specifically came to this video to comment that it is something that you should watch😂😊
There are so many edit funny videos out there with a mix of their personalities. Feel free to check any of those out to see that other side of them. They are all chaotic and funny.
There is no intro for this album so you can go straight into the album, soo here is a rundown of the Giant album as you requested: - Unsurprisingly the title track is the song "Giant", it has a music video which is in their Stray Kids Japan Official RUclips channel. There isn't a dance practice but there is this relay dance video: ruclips.net/video/80zc_sJxJCU/видео.html, and there is also this performance: ruclips.net/video/RMWGhRM9gcw/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBnaWFudA%3D%3D. - Then there is "Chk Chk Boom" Japanese version which to answer your question, I would definitely skip for now and listen to when you listen to the original version and watch the music video. It will really just showcase how they can even adapt songs into different languages whilst ensuring the song stays true to itself. - Then there are the songs "Night" and "Falling Up", which if you remember the really long comment I left you in the last video where I gave similar rundowns of other albums, in the album "GO LIVE", there were the songs "TOP" and "SLUMP" which were opening and endings for the anime "Tower of God". "Night" and "Falling Up" are also op and ed for the second season of the same anime! There are three versions of both of these, an all english one, a korean one (the ones that are actually featured in the anime and were released first as a single) and a japanese one which is the one that is in the album along with the english versions at the end of the album. Because this can be a bit confusing here are the 6 links to either the audios on youtube or fanmade colour co for the 3 versions of each (In order of korean, japanese, english): (ruclips.net/video/6eBsTqySALI/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D, ruclips.net/video/KN7bYCrlJkw/видео.html) | (ruclips.net/video/0ddGI7ya0Cs/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D, ruclips.net/video/X3t1UBE_i0Y/видео.html) | (ruclips.net/video/OyOUObJpfpw/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D , ruclips.net/video/a2oqQ6cXbUc/видео.html&pp=ygUVc3RyYXkga2lkcyBmYWxsaW5nIHVw) - Then there is the song "WHY?" which was first released as a single and is the OST for the Japanese television drama "Re: Revenge". Here is another colourcoded lyric video for this song: ruclips.net/video/g8DBG51aQNc/видео.html&pp=ygUOc3RyYXkga2lkcyB3aHk%3D. - The next song is "Sayan", here is the colourcoded lyric video: ruclips.net/video/Mxs7VoMW1J4/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBzYXlhbg%3D%3D. - The next song is "Aiwokuretanoninaze", here is the colourcoded lyric video: ruclips.net/video/G08MhPw-nWg/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBzYXlhbg%3D%3D. - Lastly there is the song "Christmas love", which has a music video in their Stray Kids Japan Official RUclips channel. There is also a stage video: ruclips.net/video/tpzMI3ZQ_r4/видео.html. This is all I can think of saying for now, I will edit this comment or respond to it with more if I can think of anything. :))
Remember one think Chan's watches everything 😂 and yes you can skip japnese version of chk chk boom until you react to ATE album So there's no intro for giant album there are some clips but it has no subtitles, japnese channel don't put subtitles you can just react to the album , also 2025 guide of Stray Kids is out 2 hour's long one you should react to it , it's worth it, hope it helps 😊👍🏻
really enjoyed your video :) - keep 'em coming but also take your time and go by your own pace - we aint going nowhere so don't worry - if we enjoy something we tend to stay (yes pun intended ;))
Hey for future stray kids reactions I would recommend listening to albums most of em have about 8 songs I believe so u could listen to em all in 1 vid or in two parts I personally feel like that’s the best way to get to know all the songs :D
AMAZING VID AS ALWAYS also ive been waiting for your skz guide reaction since the first time i found ur channel and i literally cant wait at all, everyday i open ytb just to check if you release a new video so if you see me tweaking out in the next vid dont be surprised
56:34 I’m actually not too sure if it’s supposed to be a school uniform considering Han didn’t actually go to school, he made a deal w his parents that if he became a trainee within a certain amount of time then he would quit his studies, so he just tested out of both middle and high school at like 15. He’s spoken about wanting to have a Korean school experience but he grew up mostly in Malaysia, and only went to school for a few years
I think you should listen to the songs and watch the М/V of the ATE album first, then watch the intro to it. I would recommend listening to the Japanese albums later - maybe after ATE, Rock Star, 5 Star, Oddinarу, Noеаsy.
I would leave the ATE album for last unless you want to skip the last song, “Stray Kids”. I think the lyrics and MV will be much more impactful after you delve into their older songs.
You won't find the huge amount of content around their Japanese releases, nor will that music have nearly as many views or listens. There aren't all the album intros and trailers, nor all the other content Stray Kids release for their Korean albums. They are huge in Japan and their Japanese albums are marketed pretty much exclusively in Japan. You'll never hear about upcoming Japanese releases on the regular Stray Kids channel, you have to go to their Japanese one. Also, their Japanese music videos never have translations on them. It's weirdly insular.
Tip for the Japanese MVs, if you put the Japanese captions on anything sung in English is written in English in the subs. Stray Kids usually have quite a bit of English in the Japanese title songs so you can usually get a decent idea of what the song’s about, and you can also check out the English translated lyrics on genius (which will also show the line distribution).
It's up to you if you want to skip the "[language] Ver." songs. They're all the same, just a different language. But most viewers will definitely want you to hear the original version first.
Guess I’m going to procrastinate on work just to watch now 😅 Edit: clearly I added more context to my replies. I’m reacting to your reactions 😂.. what in the matrix world… 🤣
Walking on Water: Han and Lee Know aren’t fans of heights… little tidbit on why IN says they’re scaredy-cats 😂 7:22 So Good: among the members, if you pair any of them together, you get a slightly different vibe/dynamics. This past 2024, they finally split up 2 to a dorm. Currently, Hyunjin and Changbin (Hyunbin) live together..: his “wife” 😂 - they’re the “newly weds” 1:06:32 Dorm pairings: Chan and IN (Father and Son), Changbin and Hyunjin (the newly weds), Sungmin and Felix (likely to burn their kitchen) , Han and Lee Know (the old married couple)
Oh my goodness! Was it intentional that Evie (spelling) showed up during Lee Knows portion? 😂 fun fact: he’s the cat daddy/whisper - he has 3 cats 🐱 Soonie, Donnie, Dori - they’ll show during the guide for sure. 1:18:44 Lee Know’s skz zoo animal is a rabbit, which is why during Felix’s MV, the caption talks about “Lee Know” when he’s interacting with the wild rabbit 44:51 :) - that said, LK is also know to be the “cat” in the group. - I started as a Hyunjin bias and ultimately switched to LK, but I’m an OT8. It’s hard to pick one.
1:38:44 Bang Chan trained for the longest time before he debut. 7 years - there’s a nice edit somewhere where it says he lost a piece of himself each year that passed, watching friends debut and he still hasn’t….. but then for each year he trained, he then gained 7 members :) - call it fate. Also, I hope Bang Chan does see you! He’s always watching ;) they’re obviously a little busy with the world tour, but .. he’s always watching! ;)
1:46:22 - I’d wait to listen to Chk Chk Boom (jap) until you get to the Ate album… I don’t believe Giant has an intro per say. Normally the Japanese release do not have as muuuuuch content as the Korean ones, but they do have some filming of the main MVs. Truthfully, they release so much last year in such a short span, that Giant probably did not get as much much TLC. Loose my Breath, Chk Chk Boom, Gaint, HOP -- the order of how things came out. Chk Chk Boom (ATE album has sooooo many great MVs just fyi) Going backwards probably makes the most sense… perhaps occasionally do one older song reaction in between each era? Maybe that’ll be a nice way to get some comparison and switch it up a bit. Don’t worry about “rambling”. You didn’t get 2k+ subscribers for no reason :) clearly all the STAYs are with you. We love the genuine reactions.
1:18:40 of course the cat comes when lee know is on screen! one cat recognises the other
Omg yes 😂
😂😂😂
Exactly my thoughts 😂
A little context to Han´s song: It´s the last part of a trilogy, starting with "Alien" where he sings about feeling not to belong and being lonely to "Human" where he recognizes that he finally found his place to "Hold my hand" where his nowadays self tells his past self that everything is going to be okay. The persona with the hat is his "Alien" self and the one with the rock star outfit (or maybe school uniform ;) is his actual self. You were right, this song and Seungmin´s song - both are very personal. And very honest.
By the way: The updated version of the best SKZ guide by Chandora´s World is out. Very long and good if you want to get to know them better :) Stay will love to watch it with you!
ruclips.net/video/4FTRJ0vgTZk/видео.html
came here to explain this but you already did it perfectly! I also second the motion to watch the new guide :)
@ Awww thanks ☺️
-The "wife" thing is an inside joke between Hyunjin and Changbin that started in 2024 after they started living together. Hyunjin said in an interview that "wife" was his most used word in 2024 bc of this lol
-Lee Know's official animal mascot is a rabbit (since ppl say he has bunny teeth) but most fans refer to him as a cat since he has cats at home and shows a lot of cat-like mannerisms. Funny enough, you were distracted by your own cat right when Lee Know mentioned his cats in this video 😂
-I think it's a good idea to wait to listen to Chk Chk Boom Japanese ver. until after ATE. That way you also get to react to the music video at the same time as the song.
At this rate he’s just a cabbit lol
Chan was a trainee for 7 long years. When Chan was trainee everyone he met and made friends with either debuted without him or left the company. At one point he was alone in the dorms for several months. This was his darkest time. He has talked about it many times before how the kids saved his life. How he "probably wouldn't still be here on Earth" if it wasn't for them coming into his life. To this day he still talks about how the kids saved and how he feels he needs to do more for them to pay them back.
The 2025 Complete Guide to Stray Kids from Chandoras world just came out. It's 2 hrs but a great watch. Definitely check it out.
1:06:31 Changbin and Hyunjin have been hanging out together since trainee days. They're great friends and have the vibe of a long-married couple. When they two started living together (last year, the members settled in 4 dorms in pairs), Hyunjin started calling Changbin his wife. Changbin even joked sadly that being busy with work doesn't allow him to enjoy honeymoon time with Hyunjin at home😂 They're hilarious
The fun part is that they both call each other their wife 😂 it's almost like they are two men in a lesbian relationship
@Starss_and_Raindrops it seems that in some live when fans asked questions about their living together, Hyunjin said something like, he must be a more wife now, and Changbin is like *mm, no, we're more like 50/50..*😂😂😂
I can’t wait to see more of their relationship, sounds too funny 😂
@@VoxureMusic changbin usually calls hyunjin his wife back too and he’s always flirting with him, theyre such a silly duo
2025 guide just came out if your interested in learning more about them🙌🏽
Yes, a guide to Stray kids 2025. with text reading. I'd love to see it. I'll find the link right now.
ruclips.net/video/4FTRJ0vgTZk/видео.htmlsi=hDpLiVUllq8RUf-e
After the guide, you will probably understand all the nicknames the editors/staff put in the subtitles. "Bread" and "Dumpling"
I just love their separation anxiety 🤣 They like their alone time but when they're missing each other they really miss each other.
So fitting that your cat showed up with you started Lee Know's video lol
1:38:36 - the thing about “being lonely reminds me of my trainee days” has a very specific explanation. Chan was actually a trainee for 7 years before he debuted. And he was very young when he started - he moved from Australia when he was 13. Imagine all your teenage years away from home in a constantly stressful environment. And on top of that he talked a lot about the time when he was in a really dark place during his trainee days - he kept training with people, who either kept getting cut from the company or debuted without him, so eventually there was a time where ALL of the trainee group that he was training with got cut besides just him (or some debuted before) and he was completely alone. He was quite depressed at that time and thought that it’s better to just not get close to anyone anymore, until a bit later he met “the kids” - the members he debuted with. He said on multiple occasions that they “saved him” and he might not even have been here now if it wasn’t for them - he was really struggling mentally being alone and having his friends constantly leaving, so meeting the members and staying with them for a long time must have been incredibly healing for his mental health
I just realized, it's really funny that the Sunshine Twins (HAN and Felix) are piloting the jet skis when those are the two who can't drive. 😂
We don't know if they can't drive, we've just not seen them driving 😊
@SKZSALLIE this is true. :)
they can drive tho😭 all the members have their license
@-bubwaloo-6612 when did they say? Felix and HAN haven't been shown driving and I don't recall them ever speaking about having their license.
@@stardustnite20 im pretty sure in a live Seungmin said all of them have their driving license and they talked about it in bubble too
I highly recommend watching a guide to stray kids 2025 version!
Skz have definitely separation anxiety hahahaha
I'm not sure if this (1:24:45) has already been properly explained, but I'll give it a go! Stray Kids members are associated with various animals and foods, both by fans and among themselves. Officially, they each have a mascot called SKZOO:
Bang Chan - Wolfchan, a wolf (wow)
Lee Know - LeeBit, a bunny
Changbin - Dwaekki, a mix of a bunny and a pink pig
Hyunjin - Jinret, a ferret
Han - Han Quokka, a quokka (wondering why I even)
Felix - Bbokari, a chick
Seungmin - PuppyM, a dog
I.N. - FoxI.Ny, a fennec fox
Felix and especially Lee Know are also strongly associated with cats, often referred to as Meowracha. Lee Know, in particular, is a well-known cat butler and he’s the devoted dad of three cats: Soonie, Doongie, and Dori. He's REALLY good with cats, I must say.
Hyunjin is linked to dumplings because of his soft-looking cheeks and pale skin, while I.N. is associated with "baby breads", a nickname he supposedly gave himself. Some say he saw a fan call him that and liked it, others think he just likes how the Korean word for bread (ppang, 빵) sounds. We don't really know where it came from, but my guess is that his family probably called him that growing up.
As of 2025, many fan accs started using kiwi for Hyunjin and strawberry for Felix (again, happens once in a while, but I only add when many fanbases do simultaneously).
Not much relevant, but other emojis that were previously used to represent members in the past:
Lee Know - 😈🐰
Hyunjin - 🍀 (used during his hiatus and for a short while after his return), 🦙 (they used this for a while during his debut days, but he dislikes it so we don't use it anymore)
Felix - 🖤🐱 (the heart colour varied depending on his hair colour, while the cat alone was used for Lee Know).
Fun fact: Some fan accounts used rat emojis for Hyunjin because there was no ferret emojis... not the best idea. These days, they mostly use the dumpling emoji (🥟) instead.
Everyone is so creative ig.
Also, your pronunciation of their names is great. Don't be too hard on yourself, everyone is learning!
@@Cin... I thought I made this clear, but I'll add that to the comment more specifically! Thanks for pointing out. 💙
This is so cool, thank you!
Some people also use an otter 🦦 for Hyunjin because it’s closer to a ferret, something that I noticed a lot in shorts and tiktoks lol
@@serixskylark There's also many combinations for Changbin, but I didn't add because it was never used by many people simultaneously, only occasionally!
Chan, Felix and Hyunjin are all strong swimmers. Chan has a lot of medals from swimming competitions when he was in Australia. (his mum kept them all) Hyunjin was a lifeguard for a bit when he was younger and Felix is just a good swimmer. I am not the best swimmer either, but hopefully it'll be enough if I ever got into a situation where I need to swim, I could.
Hyunjin wasn't just a lifeguard, he was a competitive swimmer as well. He almost got into national competitions
Sungmin initially drew a boy playing baseball... but by the end of the music video, he became a boy who plays baseball and loves music... like we really are; this is his warm story. And when he opened the book and took out a piece of paper from it, he wrote on it that the author is Seungmin and the name of the book is As We Are, and the ones who borrowed the books are the members. Their names were written on the squares with their date of birth, meaning that they borrowed Seungmin, and he will meet them in his life, whether he is a baseball player or a singer. When he ran, unlike his colleagues on the other side, he abandoned his dream of baseball and headed towards singing.
The arrows are symbolic. First shot of the mv begins with ppl in black shooting arrows at them, but when they're dancing all the many arrows have missed around em. So like no one can manage to score anything no matter how much they try.
The chaos of their group dynamic interaction is next level - you don’t really get a feel for it in the m/v making. Wait til you get to their ‘Skz code’ gameshow content (but you’ll likely see clips from that in the 2025 guide, if not TikTok, since you’re firmly embedded in the algorithm now rip).
Looking forward to you discovering more of their OT8 songs, and how their mixing brings together their different voices. Once you’re caught up on the more recent big budget stuff, you can go back to their earlier discography for the emotional sucker punch. I’m going to start placing bets on what album will be your favourite. Calling it on NOEASY for now.
Side note, Evie might have started her own fandom
1:24:40 his official representative animal is a bunny thats why in felixes when he saw a bunny the captions said it was leeknow hehehe but unofficially hes a cat because of his personality hes very cat like
1:33:28 he’s actually shouted out multiple reaction channels on livestreams, he’s even pointed those people out in the crowds at concerts so it’s VERY likely that he’ll eventually see yours if he hasn’t already
almost two hours, thank you for your service sir.
- highlight of this video: your cat 🥺
for Japanese releases like Giant, there isn't much content on yt like intros and m/v making, but it would be cool if instead you reacted to Giant's live performance. ( definitely leave Chk Chk Boom for ATE album. )
I love watching SKZ making-of videos and dance pracs, because their MVs are so multi-layered and full of sound and visuals that it's so easy to miss so much, and it's not until you watch these extra videos, that you realise that yes you have!
Fun fact: I don't know if you noticed all the antique carpets, (not sure if they actually were antiques, or just looked old), lying all around the set of Walking on Water, but the Shetland pony was standing on one as it stood next to Seungmin. You don't see here, (though there is a short showing it), but as Seungmin was singing, the pony was actually peeing all over the carpet! Could have been worse I guess! 😂
That’s gold 😂😂
4:00 Bro imagine being from South Africa 😂 having to make sure people don't actually think we all live in the wild and have pet lions😂
😂😂😂
1:38:57 some content, Chan spent 7 years as a trainee. In that time he did make friends and loose a lot of them - the company debuting them/the company kicking them out/etc - so he tried to distance himself from the other trainees (so it would hurt less) and then he found the members and jyp gave him an opportunity and skz was formed. (very quick summary, but yeah... he went through a lot)
5:54 They try to keep everything as greenscreenless as possible, so most locations are actually on-set! Even ones high in the air or underwater 😅
you sir have a really good sense of humor, keep it up pls!!
I think the main key to making enjoyable reactions is you as a reactor enjoying what you're watching, and you're actually interested. if you don't, it will show - if not now then eventually! obviously you can't know beforehand if you'll like something or not, but when it comes to behind the scenes and stuff, now that you've seen some you'll know if you enjoy it or not and will know whether you'll watch more of it in the future or not (I will say though that I personally find the behind the scenes content of all the members together more enjoyable, especially since you can tell that the members enjoy that more too)
the main thing is just you doing what you want to do - we're here to see you enjoying your journey into Stray Kids! it's a bit like re-living our own discovery of and growing love towards Stray Kids. different reaction channels approach it differently, so just do what feels good to you
Hi! There are random singles that come out too, such as Hyunjin's Quill Pen, heaps from Han, that are released between albums and are not on an album. So if you fit them in the timeline it will be a quick vid drop between album reactions.
You're doing awesome bro, so I wouldn't worry about your output.
Great video - thank you so much!
For Giant, there isn't an intro (they don't do them for the Japanese releases, unfortunately), and I'm not sure how easy it is to find behind-the-scenes stuff with English subs. As for listening to the album, I think I would skip the Japanese version of Chk Chk Boom in favor of doing the original with the Ate album, but everything else is fine. There are music videos for Giant and Christmas Love, but just be aware that sometimes there aren't English captions available on the Japanese songs, so you might have to look at the lyrics on Genius or somewhere. It's a great album, so enjoy, and I look forward to the reaction!
Also, don't worry - take your time!
Alright sounds good, thanks!
Hyunjin is my bias too❤
9:40 The thing is, this is defininetly not an easy choreography but in comparison to other Stray Kids choreographies it is on the easier side so I think that's why they talked about it being easy in the intro.
@@marialuisacardosoferreira5685 I mean, it is simple and easier during the parts for challenges, I believe that's what they meant. If you search for that basic jype choreography (the one all trainees learn, I think kickflip, the newly debuted jype group, did it on a radio some days ago), there are 2 or 3 moves that look so much like this choreo.
I really love your chill and honest reaction towards skz !! Next I think the 2025 guide and some funny moments compilation would be great because rn you saw them separated calm and focused on their mv but when the 8 of them are together they become goofy balls and don’t stop laughing and joking around with each others !!🤣(For me stray kids is the funniest kpop group ever )
Yes, please skip the Japanese version of Chk Chk Boom until you see the original. Yay, more SKZ coming!!
Another awesome reaction sir, and well done to Evie for purrfect timing on her appearance, lol.
It was fun seeing you react to this! I'm really enjoying your videos and how you actually care about being doing this! Also, I loooove long videos, it's perfect to have it while I draw to to reach my deadlines so don't worry! I'll be waiting for the next ones!
Another very enjoyable reaction, thank you very much ❤ Evie is gorgeous, we Stan black cats in this house lol as for Bangchan, he does love reactors, and if you're on Stay's radar you're most likely on his. But don't worry about pissing him off, he's the sweetest man in the world and appreciates honesty over bullshitting for views, just like us. I'm here for what's next
I am loving your reaction vids to SKZ. I'm not surprised how fast ur channel has grown since watching Stray Kids. I like that you started with the solos, you should now work backwards through their discography, react to HOP songs, then go through the ATE album, then Rock Star then 5 Star...etc. you will find plenty of bangers. Stray Kids do not disappoint
Hyunjin is calling Changbin his wife because when the two started living together last year the members said they act like newlyweds. Hyunjin and Changbin both starting calling each other wife then
Hi Hi, first of all, thank you very much for your great reactions about Stray Kids!!!❤️ Like you, I was pushed down this rabbit hole 4 months ago and am stuck😅😂 (but I don't want to get out at all!!). Unbelievable what these wonderful people accomplish. I hope I never run into Stray Kids, I would cuddle them to death😎😳😂 I don't care what you present to us next as a menu 🤭 and how long it takes you, give yourself the time! I've seen so many reactions about Stray Kids and I'm really impressed with how lovingly and respectfully you express your opinions! Keep it up!!! I wish you a lot of fun and a lot of time because you'll need it🙈 and wish you good luck on your way to a professional career as a dancer, maybe I'll see you fight in a Stray Kids video someday😉😂!!!! Kind regards from Germany Nadia🤗

We voted for your reaction to a complete guide 2025. You can split it in two parts
I love your videoss, i wish you'd upload more 😭
I like the way you react to skz, i can actually see that you are respectfull and actually pay attention to the video, so thank you for that ❤
I don't know why, but I look forward to each of your next videos. And congrats on 2k subscribers!
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😁
22:48 your pronounciation for seungmin is spot on!!
Im wayyyy too happy for a 2 hr vid. THANK YOUU 🥰
I hope you enjoyed!!
Ive never been this fast clicking on a new youtube vid. Please keep making contents❤
1:33:13 it might sound crazy but Channie really enjoys watching reactions because he can have like real reviews about their work. He knows even small content creators ❤ maybe he's watching you rn
skzigi is the nickname they give to their manager/s
Will always recommend checking out SKZ-Code, specifically SKZ-Family. They are chaos and hilarious and a real mood lifter.
Ya, I think listening to the song giant, and then the album ATE
I love Seungminnie so much, I sometimes wonder.. What if he never picked this career? What would I do? I think i'd feel anemoia for him. Our puppy is such a cutie and in my opinion has the best vocals i've heard in my whole life, when it comes to personal preference. His rapping is rare but he does rap sometimes, and oh my god... i've never seen a person who sings and raps so nicely at the same time. Other than that his part in 'Walkin on Water' shocked us skies (seungmins biases) once again. His charm is something else, he's so cute. When it comes to minnie I personally recommened listening to Seungmin 'You were beautiful' it's a Day6 song he covered. Day6 is a boy group under JYP Ent. (the same company as Stray Kids) and Seungmin is one of their biggest fans. You should also listen to Seungmin's cover of 'Druken Truth', his cover of '그리워해요' (originally by 2ne1), and his songs, 'Hold on', 'Stars and Raindrops'. He is, truly, an angel whose physical beauty is created by heaven and sparkles brighter than the stars, eclipsing everything around, a voice as clear as crystal, gentle as a cloud and deeper than the ocean, which is only worth hearing and you are completely powerless before him, his charm, his voice. His voice is salvation and damnation at the same time, it is like a balm for the soul and warms your heart like the dearest person at the same time piercing your soul through, tearing apart, touching the farthest corners of your heart, "leaving you the way you are."
You should react to Stray Kids Story That Won't End performance on Music Core and Kingdom too, they're a must.
I’ll definitely have to check out all of his covers!
The door not being latched was driving me nuts. 😂
Take your time it may feel awkward at first. Some of the reactors I watch now were very awkward at first. Eventually, they find their comfort zone and relax when they interact with other Stay. I am here to ride along with your journey.
1:06:32 They are actually married🥰 Jokes aside, it's an in-joke between the group since the two are roommates, although the joke started long before that
Thanks for appreciating there work 🙏🇬🇧❤️
Yeah Skz have separation anxiety when they are separated for just a day. When they were in quarantine for COVID, they did video calls with each other several times a day. 😂
STAYS love long videos, so never worry about that 😊. Will be waiting patiently for the guide video. Love your reacts i wld like a vid everyday but I understand the process and life, haha😂😂.
You have the best reaction I have ever seen I had so much fun watching you react to our boys ❣️ I am so glad I came across your channel☺️ thank you so much 🥰
U ARE FEEDING US WELL ! THANK U ❤❤
Do ATE full album first and go back to Giant with the Japanese Chk Chk Boom. Edit to add: Do the Chandora SKZ guide first. It's long, almost 2½ hours. You can split it if you want to but we'll watch the whole thing in one go too, don't worry. You'll know the guys better. They're so much fun. PS I like your reaction videos, thank you
For reacting to new albums going forward, I recommend always listening to the original song before listening to a different type of version. For Giant, I would listen/ watch the songs in order except "Chk Chk Boom (Japanese version)". Later, when you react to "Ate" and the orginal songs, you can listen to it if you want. It's not much of a change, only the language changes, but "Chk Chk Boom" has a festival version you should definitely listen to. Along with reacting to the songs and MVs, you can watch the dance practices and other makings of the album just like you did with "Hop". I personally would like to see you react to other content of them as well, such as interviews, SKZ code, vlogs, funny fan made videos, or their own reactions to their music videos. A funny fan made video I recommend is "skz having fun while making music" posted by "Katya Strom". The video show how they're like in the studio. It doesn't "spoil" the music per se, but it does show some of their songs, so maybe put it on a back burner if you want. Lastly, for the guide, it is crazy long, so maybe split it in 2 videos with 4 members each video if you want, so you can take a break. So glad you're enjoying them and their music!!
Thank you for such a long video and subtitles!! enjoed your reaction 🫶
Binnie and Hyune are roommates now. They joked that they started their new life together as husband and wife when skz moved to their new apartments last year. 😂
Roommates:
Binnie and Hyune
Channie and I.N
Lixie and Seungmin
Lee Know and Hannie
here's a small explanation for around the 57:00 mark! In Korea, depending on how close you are to someone older than you, such as a cousin/friend, you may refer to them as older brother/sister. Han is close enough with his older female cousin to call her "noona" (meaning older sister when you're a male speaker), so her husband would indeed be referred to as brother-in-law (he says "maehyung" here meaning brother-in-law, older brother to a male speaker is just "hyung"). It's also why Han then refers to their son as his nephew (in English we would say first cousin once removed)
I think it's funny that one of the first things you mention is the guide to Stray Kids.
I actually specifically came to this video to comment that it is something that you should watch😂😊
ruclips.net/video/4FTRJ0vgTZk/видео.htmlsi=WHK0vCuRjG8wkVOO
There are so many edit funny videos out there with a mix of their personalities. Feel free to check any of those out to see that other side of them. They are all chaotic and funny.
I love watching your reactions!! You seem chill and like you are really interested and enjoying in what you are watching and listening to. ❤❤❤
There is no intro for this album so you can go straight into the album, soo here is a rundown of the Giant album as you requested:
- Unsurprisingly the title track is the song "Giant", it has a music video which is in their Stray Kids Japan Official RUclips channel. There isn't a dance practice but there is this relay dance video: ruclips.net/video/80zc_sJxJCU/видео.html, and there is also this performance: ruclips.net/video/RMWGhRM9gcw/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBnaWFudA%3D%3D.
- Then there is "Chk Chk Boom" Japanese version which to answer your question, I would definitely skip for now and listen to when you listen to the original version and watch the music video. It will really just showcase how they can even adapt songs into different languages whilst ensuring the song stays true to itself.
- Then there are the songs "Night" and "Falling Up", which if you remember the really long comment I left you in the last video where I gave similar rundowns of other albums, in the album "GO LIVE", there were the songs "TOP" and "SLUMP" which were opening and endings for the anime "Tower of God". "Night" and "Falling Up" are also op and ed for the second season of the same anime! There are three versions of both of these, an all english one, a korean one (the ones that are actually featured in the anime and were released first as a single) and a japanese one which is the one that is in the album along with the english versions at the end of the album. Because this can be a bit confusing here are the 6 links to either the audios on youtube or fanmade colour co for the 3 versions of each (In order of korean, japanese, english): (ruclips.net/video/6eBsTqySALI/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D, ruclips.net/video/KN7bYCrlJkw/видео.html) | (ruclips.net/video/0ddGI7ya0Cs/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D, ruclips.net/video/X3t1UBE_i0Y/видео.html) | (ruclips.net/video/OyOUObJpfpw/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBuaWdodA%3D%3D , ruclips.net/video/a2oqQ6cXbUc/видео.html&pp=ygUVc3RyYXkga2lkcyBmYWxsaW5nIHVw)
- Then there is the song "WHY?" which was first released as a single and is the OST for the Japanese television drama "Re: Revenge". Here is another colourcoded lyric video for this song: ruclips.net/video/g8DBG51aQNc/видео.html&pp=ygUOc3RyYXkga2lkcyB3aHk%3D.
- The next song is "Sayan", here is the colourcoded lyric video: ruclips.net/video/Mxs7VoMW1J4/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBzYXlhbg%3D%3D.
- The next song is "Aiwokuretanoninaze", here is the colourcoded lyric video: ruclips.net/video/G08MhPw-nWg/видео.html&pp=ygUQc3RyYXkga2lkcyBzYXlhbg%3D%3D.
- Lastly there is the song "Christmas love", which has a music video in their Stray Kids Japan Official RUclips channel. There is also a stage video: ruclips.net/video/tpzMI3ZQ_r4/видео.html.
This is all I can think of saying for now, I will edit this comment or respond to it with more if I can think of anything. :))
Remember one think Chan's watches everything 😂 and yes you can skip japnese version of chk chk boom until you react to ATE album
So there's no intro for giant album there are some clips but it has no subtitles, japnese channel don't put subtitles you can just react to the album , also 2025 guide of Stray Kids is out 2 hour's long one you should react to it , it's worth it, hope it helps 😊👍🏻
I love all the guys but HYUNJIN is also my bias at the topmost top ❤😊
really enjoyed your video :) - keep 'em coming but also take your time and go by your own pace - we aint going nowhere so don't worry - if we enjoy something we tend to stay (yes pun intended ;))
Hey for future stray kids reactions I would recommend listening to albums most of em have about 8 songs I believe so u could listen to em all in 1 vid or in two parts I personally feel like that’s the best way to get to know all the songs :D
love this whole reaction could you react to their full guide pls!!!!! TT
yes lee know and felix the cat and seungmin is the puppy
please, I hope you watch the guide!!
Dw man about taking ur time to post ur good we’ll be here
AMAZING VID AS ALWAYS also ive been waiting for your skz guide reaction since the first time i found ur channel and i literally cant wait at all, everyday i open ytb just to check if you release a new video so if you see me tweaking out in the next vid dont be surprised
Thank you so much 😂😂 your wait will be over tomorrow 👀😁
56:34 I’m actually not too sure if it’s supposed to be a school uniform considering Han didn’t actually go to school, he made a deal w his parents that if he became a trainee within a certain amount of time then he would quit his studies, so he just tested out of both middle and high school at like 15. He’s spoken about wanting to have a Korean school experience but he grew up mostly in Malaysia, and only went to school for a few years
the text with the () or [] are the staff/editing person writing it's hilarious a lot of times they roast the boys or simp for them a little
been out 8 mins and i made it , yesss, gunna be a banger!
Thank you so much for your reactions to Stray Kids❤❤❤
OH MY I LOVE YOUR CAT SO MUCH
I love these long videos!
I think you should listen to the songs and watch the М/V of the ATE album first, then watch the intro to it. I would recommend listening to the Japanese albums later - maybe after ATE, Rock Star, 5 Star, Oddinarу, Noеаsy.
You can go the guide in parts if you like, it would be easier for you to focus
I really recommend you to watch Seungmin's "Song By" cover show
I would leave the ATE album for last unless you want to skip the last song, “Stray Kids”. I think the lyrics and MV will be much more impactful after you delve into their older songs.
Oh your cat is so cute🥰 beautiful fur colour
omg yes i've been waiting
Oh no, some people actually believe we do. And so then you tell them about drop bears.
Watch hyunjin's Quill pen...he impresses with his vocals...
how about a stray kids 2025 guide?!?!
You won't find the huge amount of content around their Japanese releases, nor will that music have nearly as many views or listens. There aren't all the album intros and trailers, nor all the other content Stray Kids release for their Korean albums.
They are huge in Japan and their Japanese albums are marketed pretty much exclusively in Japan. You'll never hear about upcoming Japanese releases on the regular Stray Kids channel, you have to go to their Japanese one. Also, their Japanese music videos never have translations on them. It's weirdly insular.
Tip for the Japanese MVs, if you put the Japanese captions on anything sung in English is written in English in the subs. Stray Kids usually have quite a bit of English in the Japanese title songs so you can usually get a decent idea of what the song’s about, and you can also check out the English translated lyrics on genius (which will also show the line distribution).
I teach baby stay to say it Seungmin (soong-min)
If u wanted to do the guide u could split it up into parts so its easier to edit and watch
It's up to you if you want to skip the "[language] Ver." songs. They're all the same, just a different language. But most viewers will definitely want you to hear the original version first.
yessssss finally 🎉
Guess I’m going to procrastinate on work just to watch now 😅
Edit: clearly I added more context to my replies. I’m reacting to your reactions 😂.. what in the matrix world… 🤣
Walking on Water: Han and Lee Know aren’t fans of heights… little tidbit on why IN says they’re scaredy-cats 😂 7:22
So Good: among the members, if you pair any of them together, you get a slightly different vibe/dynamics. This past 2024, they finally split up 2 to a dorm. Currently, Hyunjin and Changbin (Hyunbin) live together..: his “wife” 😂 - they’re the “newly weds” 1:06:32
Dorm pairings: Chan and IN (Father and Son), Changbin and Hyunjin (the newly weds), Sungmin and Felix (likely to burn their kitchen) , Han and Lee Know (the old married couple)
Oh my goodness! Was it intentional that Evie (spelling) showed up during Lee Knows portion? 😂 fun fact: he’s the cat daddy/whisper - he has 3 cats 🐱 Soonie, Donnie, Dori - they’ll show during the guide for sure. 1:18:44
Lee Know’s skz zoo animal is a rabbit, which is why during Felix’s MV, the caption talks about “Lee Know” when he’s interacting with the wild rabbit 44:51 :) - that said, LK is also know to be the “cat” in the group. - I started as a Hyunjin bias and ultimately switched to LK, but I’m an OT8. It’s hard to pick one.
1:38:44 Bang Chan trained for the longest time before he debut. 7 years - there’s a nice edit somewhere where it says he lost a piece of himself each year that passed, watching friends debut and he still hasn’t….. but then for each year he trained, he then gained 7 members :) - call it fate.
Also, I hope Bang Chan does see you! He’s always watching ;) they’re obviously a little busy with the world tour, but .. he’s always watching! ;)
1:46:22 - I’d wait to listen to Chk Chk Boom (jap) until you get to the Ate album… I don’t believe Giant has an intro per say. Normally the Japanese release do not have as muuuuuch content as the Korean ones, but they do have some filming of the main MVs. Truthfully, they release so much last year in such a short span, that Giant probably did not get as much much TLC.
Loose my Breath, Chk Chk Boom, Gaint, HOP -- the order of how things came out. Chk Chk Boom (ATE album has sooooo many great MVs just fyi)
Going backwards probably makes the most sense… perhaps occasionally do one older song reaction in between each era? Maybe that’ll be a nice way to get some comparison and switch it up a bit.
Don’t worry about “rambling”. You didn’t get 2k+ subscribers for no reason :) clearly all the STAYs are with you. We love the genuine reactions.
Aye, thank you so much for answering all my questions!! Legend! I hope you still managed to finish your work 😂
