They recreated the other two mini series they had: Up all night (Chan, Felix, Changbin and Seungmin did that series) and misterious kitchen (Han, I.n and Minho). Hyunjin was om hiatus at the time so he didn't do any of those. In up all night Chan did Felixs hair and Seungmin did Changbins. And in misteriois kitchen they made food. So they just used those two shows and now switched the roles (the ones thaz did misterious kitchen are now doing the hair and the ones that did up all night are now cooking). Hope u undersstand me😅
Chan, Hyunjin, and Changbin are good at sports 😊 they usually have competitive banter about who'd win between the three of them, from swimming to bowling and other sports. Lee Know is good at martial arts and has multiple black belts but he said he's not good with ball sports. Seungmin used to be a baseball player, not too sure though about other ball sports. Lol. Not too sure about the rest of the kids. 🙂
If I remember correctly then at least half of skz did sports (I know Chan, Seungmin, Felix and Hyunjin. Not sure about the rest of them) but Lee Know has this luck where he wins the games/sports. Also as a Filipina I totally get it, the food here is mostly meat, even the veggies can have meat mixed in.
- 1:00:03 The time or two when we suspect they were drinking alcohol, the show and members were very, very insistent that it's juice (someday you'll probably see the infamous "grape juice" vlive). Supposedly this was pop and plum juice. In support of that claim: Chan is drinking the so-called plum juice, and he really doesn't like alcohol, so maybe it really is juice. In question of the claim: I.N is the only one _not_ drinking the so-called plum juice, and he was the only one below drinking age at the time. (edit: I'm dumb.) So...who knows. The only one we've ever seen acknowledged to be imbibing alcohol on camera is Lee Know, on Idol Dictation. And tipsy Lee Know is adorable, super affectionate and sweet, and instantly wound up all over social media. He's apparently the kind of drunk who has to earnestly tell everyone how much he loves them. - 1:01:30 Because, and this is a quote: "Lee Know doesn't like balls." (Yes, they all tried desperately not to die when that was said. Lee Know just smirked.) This is obviously in regards to _athletics_ involving balls, and I'll just...stop there. - 1:02:23 Yes, this moment sent shockwaves through the fandom. It was _everywhere._ This was when we found out they'd moved from the dorm we knew and into two separate places. (It's also when we realized that Chan's equally viral clip from his birthday vlive when he finally fixed the infamous damn curtain after four years was him yet again clowning us, being as we'd been roasting them about the curtain for years and he fixed it as they were moving out. The next time we saw that poor curtain, Xdinary Heroes was using it as a tablecloth. Anyway, if you didn't know before, there is literally a legendary curtain in SKZ/Stayville.) - Yeah, we all wish they had better sleeping habits. 😥 Especially Chan. Their schedules are nuts. That said, he's had insomnia his entire life; he literally _can't_ sleep at night. (Yes, of _course_ he even wrote a song about it.) That's one of the main reasons Channie's Room exists -- he couldn't sleep, and he wanted company at night and wanted to talk to anyone else who couldn't sleep. I've always suspected he might be like me, one of the exceptions to the solar programming. I had "insomnia" my entire life, absolutely could not (cannot) function at my best during the daytime, didn't start experiencing the standard "body waking up and hitting its peaks" things until the sun was going down, no matter what adjustments were made. Yet I generally slept just fine when left to function on my own, non-socially-mandated schedule, awake at night and asleep during the day. Turns out delayed sleep phase is a thing; our programming is just different. We're the minority of people who evolved to keep watch over the village at night or whatever. Anyway, with how consistent and persistent his sleep issues have always been, I genuinely suspect Chan might be programmed to be a night person and, because we pathologize everything that doesn't fit the arbitrary norm, thus has DSP. I mean, the crazy schedule and underlying anxiety and obsessiveness don't help, but still. (Fellow night people, join the resistance! 🌙) It's 11:30 am as I type this; after I finish watching, the last 20 minutes, I'm going to bed. (update: Now it's almost 1 in the afternoon, I'm finished, and it's bedtime. 😆) - 1:14:22 you: "That looks like a _great_ morning." me: "That looks like the depths of hell in all its early-morning, sunshiney misery." - 1:16:18 He's giving them cat treats from a tube. These were on the table when they arrived. It's what Hyunjin tried to feed Lee Know before getting whacked in the stomach. - If you appreciate Lee Know kitty time, you're going to love his vlogs. They're 90% him cooking and/or playing with cats. And there's other footage out there in random spots where he's just off by himself playing pied piper with whatever cats happen to have appeared out of nowhere. - 1:17:18 I assume the whole "live food" thing isn't helping, but I suspect his rampant fear of bugs -- any bugs, even ants -- is part of the problem. He's got his hands in a bowl full of what look and feel like gigantic, wiggling bugs, and he loses his sh1t when any creature smaller than a cat wiggles at him. - 1:21:47 This is an example of something both Seungmin and the others have commented on in the past: Seungmin in particular notices that Chan always puts himself last, gives everyone else the food first, lets them have all the bits he likes best and pretends he doesn't like those bits, etc. So Seungmin tries to stealthily return the care as much as he can, often with regards to food-related stuff. The next episode is adorable, btw. They're a mess.
1:00:03 - LOL I have heard about the grape juice vlive.. I definitely need to check this out asap. 1:02:23 - hahahaha this is the first I am hearing about the legendary curtain!!! re. insomnia / night owls - I have ALWAYS wanted to do studies on those who thrive in the night (not just late in the day but like middle of the night 2-3am). I want to check their digestive and metabolism function, hormone levels, recovery rate etc.... Because as you said - you feel as though you are "programmed" to work better at the opposite hours to whats seen as a "regular/normal" sleep wake cycle. So I wonder how the body has adapted and how it's functioning, if it's being hindered etc... I am SOOOOO curious!! If you know of any studies that have been done, let me know! 1:14:22 hahahaha I am such a morning person! Nothing makes me feel more "alive" that getting up for a sunrise walk!! lol 1:17:18 - ohhhh that' right, Han hates bugs!! I forgot about that lol makes sense now! 1:21:47 - Chan really is like a parent isn't he. He has such a deep care for his members, it's incredibly heart warming. It's nice to know Seungmin notices (as I'm sure they all do) and likes to return the care.
@@melaniereacts I used to have a few pieces of research, but I think that was about three laptops ago, and I'm guessing there's better, more updated research available at this point. Now _I_ want to go see what's new! As for anecdotal data, there was some peeking under the hood and, much to their chagrin, the docs had to agree that I did (do) indeed function much better at night -- more alert, more responsive, more coordinated, lower stress, etc. Basically I function at 2 am the way most "normal" people function at noon or whenever it is that morning people are at their best. I'm awake rn for unavoidable and annoying reasons, but I'd prefer not to be. Yeah, he really is. And I love them for all knowing and responding in their own way, whether it's Seungmin trying to stealth feed him, Felix giving him Aussie bro treatment, Han clowning for him, whatever. I'm grateful they all have each other and know how to care for each other.
You really do have stories for DAYS lol. I need to travel more so I can tell stories like these lol These are my fave eps of the SKZ Code series! So nice to see them just get away for a while. Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, and Seungmin seem to be pretty good at most sports, Chan is super competitive too. For Lee Know its kinda weird, he could be terrible but then as time goes on he quickly gets better. He always has luck on his side too. Poor Han is just hopeless lol Yeah this was when we found out they moved into new dorms and were separated. I was so happy for them bc they deserved to have a bigger space and their own rooms for years now but I'll admit I was a little sad knowing they weren't all together. That old dorm with the crappy kitchen curtain was a hot mess but there were so many memories from that place. They're always sleeping over at each other's dorms now so I guess not much has really changed
Hahaha Han cracked me up!! 🤣 he was struggling!! And yeah I can imagine it would have been sad! It’s so nice that they have their own space but it would have been better if they were all in the same dorm still. But I can imagine them always sleeping over due to separation anxiety 🤣🤣🤣
- Felix: "The pork belly is on sale!" the pork belly: ₩16800 .6kg me, who bought pork belly for about $4.50 lb this week: _dying_ They spent ₩84000/us$68/aus$91.68 for what would be less than $30 here. A reminder to me why everyone in Korea always gets so excited about someone buying meat for them. - 41:56 It's SKZ, so of course there's inside knowledge even about this. I.N has directly said that he doesn't like lying on Lee Know's lap because his thighs are rock-hard and it hurts...whereas he likes lying on Changbin's lap because he's soft and comfortable. - If you go to 43:07 and frame-by-frame through 43:11 (it's hard to catch at normal speed), you'll see the immediate focus of Lee Know's attention. The man has priorities, and those priorities are not humans. - 46:44 He has a pepper in his mouth because Lee Know's version of "get him an eye covering" was to instead shove a pepper in Hyunjin's mouth. - 49:26 Yeah, "bomb" is "fail." Generally "fail spectacularly," at least in American usage. (If you fail in making the rice, it's probably kinda mushy. If you bomb, it's probably either charcoal or soup.) - 51:03 The first time you watch a full episode of "댕냥스쿨로," you'll understand why he's cutting like that. Seungmin is second only to Changbin in terms of rich young master upbringing; he's a kitchen menace. (A twt quote about their cooking: "i love the range and diversity of stray kids’ members, they have chef lee know in cooking shows and everything then there’s seungmin stir frying a pancake") - 51:15 Funnily enough, the members were actually asked who they'd want to be stuck with/who would survive on a desert island or in some similar survival situation. Everyone chose Minsung. Lee Know's demonstrably competent and calm, but Han is also surprisingly very practical. Lee Know thinks outside the box, and Han thinks very, very quickly. I actually agreed with the members and came up with the same answer when they were being asked. Channie would be solid backup, but unless the situation required them to be very quiet, I'd go with Minsung first. If nothing else, unlike Chan, they'd be unlikely to unecessarily sacrifice themselves for you at the first opportunity and leave you on your own. - 52:20 Since Mysterious Kkami won the competition and thus aren't required to do manual labor, but it would be boring to just have them sitting around during all the cooking, they played hair-salon basically so there's content to film. The members of Mysterious Kkami cooked in Mysterious Kitchen, while the members of the cooking team (I can't remember what they named themselves in this) were All-Night SKZ and played hair salon in an episode. So they've switched roles.
yeah I have heard meat is super pricey in Korea!!!!! 41:56 HAHAHA I mean, Changbin does look super comfy, not going to lie!! 46:44 lol at this point it doesn't even surprise me anymore!! 51:15 ohhhhhhh that's actually super interesting. I mean I would be stoked to be stuck on an island with them lol
- Oh HELL no. I can't believe you're still recording from inside that apartment. I'd be on a different continent by now. The roach can keep the place. - The chicken bothers them mostly because neither of those two can cook. Like, at all. So they've never handled food like that. They've never had to. First they had their parents, then they had JYP-BOB, and then they had takeout and Lee Know. And Changbin in particular is filthy rich; nobody made the princeling learn how to feed himself when he was growing up. Both of them do the apparently universal "I can throw food (that other people have prepared) onto a fire and grunt manfully" grilling thing, but that's pretty much it. They're both a wee bit delicate and pampered. - 14:13 That blunt knife made me so nervous, especially handled by someone like Hyunjin (inexperienced _and_ accident prone). If you eventually get around to watching stuff like Mysterious Kitchen or some of the vlives where they cook, you'll see a pattern of Lee Know doing what he did: watching them like a hawk and taking care of them by stepping in like a parent does when their eight-year-old has reached the limits of their skills. There's never a display of any kind, and he's never trying to one-up; he just quietly slides in and handles things so no one feels bad. This is the kind of stuff outsiders who call him mean don't get. - them: _literally dunking each bite of food in pure salt_ "We always seem to swell after eating. It's a mystery." - 21:43 Changbin's dead-eyed look in response to that terrible pun from Hyunjin was all over socmed three seconds after this aired. It was hilarious. - Chan is obviously their main all-around athlete. But Hyunjin is a really good swimmer and pretty good at soccer. Felix is a good swimmer and archer. Lee Know gives absolutely zero f*cks about most competitive athletics (you've witnessed his patented grandpa run), but he's gone dead-center in archery and is unnervingly strong in one-on-one contact competition. (Han is any theatre kid/choir geek/band nerd forced to endure PE class; the boy is _not_ made for competitive sports.) All of them have to be competitive in some form, or they wouldn't be where they are right now, but in terms of sports, Chan is the most competitive overall. The frustration of all the abysmal foot volleyball action was _killing_ him. If you want to see how badly he outclasses them in this game and why it was slowly destroying his soul to play it, this is just a small but very telling snippet: ruclips.net/video/tifHawT6U88/видео.html - Notice that the times Han falls, it's in the same way, in the same position, going the same direction? Don't get me wrong -- he's a known klutz. But if you watch closely, you'll see his foot placement. You've probably noticed his legs before, but if not, he's referred to as the anime girl or the one with anime-girl legs. He's noticeably intoed/pigeon-toed. Both times he fell, the others likely wouldn't have, but with the way his feet are naturally positioned, he doesn't have balance when turning like that.
hahaha awwww precious boys! It's nice to know they have been looked after though!! 14:13 - he is so protective over them. I don't get why people would ever call him mean. He likes to make fun of them and play games etc.. but never once in this whole journey of getting to know them have I ever thought he was mean. If you pay close enough attention which ppl clearly don't, you will see the ways he cares for them. It's never super super obvious though which is maybe why ppl miss it. Ok just watched that clip of Chan playing foot volleyball and holy crap that was so entertaining haha... he thrives in these kind of things! you can see how much he genuinely enjoys playing! He is so good! As for Han's legs. YES I have noticed. I couldn't tell if he was pigeoned toed or if he was slightly bow legged. I didn't notice that he falls the same way, I will have to go and watch again. Makes total sense though and I wonder if this is why he doesn't necessarily do well in these kind of games. I also wonder if it affects his dance? I mean, he is an insane dancer so I would think not??
@@melaniereacts Yeah, Lee Know gets done dirty by people who've never bothered to actually pay attention. It bugs the sh1t out of me. I mean, he literally just treats them the way a cat would. The cat loves his person. That doesn't mean he won't smack them if they annoy him, give them a death glare to remind them of their place in the world order, or amuse himself by pushing their buttons. 😆 I suspect that his legs might be part of why this kind of game isn't really his thing, but who knows how much of that is direct physiology, how much is the result of inexperience/lack of coordination because he had a harder time playing earlier in life and thus didn't develop the skills, and how much is simply being an introverted theatre kid who greatly enjoys impersonating a sloth. Probably all three to some extent. I've studied so much of his dancing trying to see if his legs affect it. Overall, they don't seem to. There's occasionally visual elements that don't quite match the others' simply because his feet fall into a different placement when they're all holding a position or whatever. But I think he's probably very used to unconsciously compensating. Even stuff like the Maniac drill spin, which is all about legs, seems fine; he actually gets it cleaner and more consistent than a lot of the others. Ten or twenty years down the road, the intoeing might start causing physical issues, but at the moment, as best I've been able to tell, he seems pretty unaffected, barring his utter inability to not embarrass himself in competitive sports. So I'm hoping that remains the case. Fwiw, along with being able to identify SKZ as a whole, among a crowd of idols, just by looking at their feet/shoes, we can usually ID Minsung among SKZ by looking for The Thighs and the Anime GF. (I had to know...I just searched and confirmed that, yes, "Han anime legs" will indeed get several yt results. I'm howling.)
Keep pausing, I love your mini-stories!! I relate SO MUCH on the meat looking like animals thing! I'm mostly pescatarian but I do eat meat occasionally AS LONG AS it doesn't look like the animal. Even regular raw meat really grosses me out. I absolutely love crab/shrimp (prawns?) but omg if its whole I will run away!
We finally found a thing that our ace jisung can't do it's foot volleyball 😂😂 it was not hannie's day he lost the mission & ice cream bet too had wake up early to cook breakfast poor hannie
This felt so cosy, loved it! I couldn’t but laugh when you talked about the fact we need the sun and we’re not meant to be awake during the night because I work at night and it has been really hard to maintain a healthy diet while being sleep depraved.
Ahhhh I can imagine that would be so hard! In saying that, our bodies are super adaptable so all we can do is our best and hope our body catches up lol
These episodes are so cute ;_; This reminds me to suggest you watch Up All Night and Misterious Kitchen if you ever find the time. Both cute little shows, but I swear I could rewatch Up All Night over and over, it's so cute and comforting 🥺
This episodes are basically skz on vacation, it's nice to see, just them relaxing and having fun in the countryside. This is gonna take a while, it's almost an hour and half...I'm enjoying it not gonna lie. Are you going to reach to the last three together too? EP.13 is a solo episode while 14 and 15 are connected.
I will probably do ep 13 on its own and then 14 & 15 together. I like doing long reactions but I think this one was a tad too long hahaha but everyone told me to do it together! I mean I looooved watching, but I know for a lot of people it's a bit too long to sit and watch haha
Ох,это мой самый любимый skz code. Ребята совершенно очаровательные,когда они такие домашние и веселые. И я просто обожаю,когда они готовят)) спасибо за совместный просмотр,Мелани!
So basically about your story eating food that u didn't like - SKZ had the same show in Japan where they were put on a same situation- there were 2 scenarios one , they had to drink this very bitter tea and as to avoid showing off as rude they had to drink it despite the taste , another scenario was they were given a defective chair where they literally had to use their legs as support while sitting down - it was hilarious but i felt really sorry for them - u have to see that .. my goodness..
Thank you for another great reaction video. Glad you are still doing well! I actually guessed panda, when Chan asked to guess - I did not expect it to be right! If you are doing more Oddinary things, maybe you would like to add in Maniac live singing (from KBS CoolFM channel) Looking forward to your next video as always!
I'm currently binge-watching your old videos because I absolutely love your reactions, but you asked a question in the video, as to what Lee know was feeding the cats Answer: Red ginseng. It is immensely common in South Korea, and it's safe for both humans and pets. It's an herb that helps in many ways of the body, for both species so don't worry too much. 😭 It's so cute that he went and found stray cats to feed.
hope you and your partner are feeling better and recover quick mel ! dw about pausing too much your story times are fun can’t wait for you to react to the making of all their mvs their street version music videos english remakes and more content
These episodes remind me of up all night and mysterious kitchen, where the respective pairs you see here reverse their roles. Chan, binne, seungmin and felix in up all night and lee know, han and IN in mysterious kitchen. Our hyune was supposed to be there as well but you know 😔 But as the title of Mysterious kitchen suggested, it was therapy for us during that time with all that happened in kingdom and stuff. You'll definitely love this. It was very calming and therapeutic 😌 💫. If you can, please do watch it. 😊 Here this the playlist ruclips.net/p/PL7oOLgspkcprhiLhjxbm8uQYRQ7N_qwid
31:17 I heard the word netball and was summoned 😂 I can’t umpire anymore either bc I zone out too hahaha though I was considering umpiring at where I play social bc the games are shorter (10 minute quarters) but then I have to deal with telling men they don’t know the rules 💀
Mel, maybe a lil comment if you could put timestamps :) cause I really enjoy your SKZ content but tbh I can't always watch it in one take, cause it's long:) If you could of course, timestamps for videos would be great ❣️ Thanks in advance and wish your cozy channel growth, thanks for SKZ content
@@melaniereacts it's not a demand of course, dear, just what I usually see on RUclips how reactors make it when they edit videos, when it comes to really long videos, of course ☺️ Thank you for your content I really have feeling I'm watching it with my bestie You're very genuine and sweet person Hopefully you're doing better this week, sending hugs and kisses ❣️❣️❣️
@@matterofperspective101 yes of course! I would love to have time stamps on all of my videos 😍😍 I just struggle with time haha but I did timestamps on this video for you!! Will try do the others more too. Thanks for your beautiful comment ❤️❤️❤️
Now since this is such a long video and I talk a lot I put my comments in sections TT Episode 10 I love these three episodes, they're so calm and it was good for them to get some time like this even tho there were filming. TT I grew up not eating any pork or shellfish ( kosher or hallah whichever) so it took me so long to get used to seeing them eat it. Shellfish and squid and all of that dont bother me anymore but the thought of eat pork 💀😟 no bueno. Hannie is so cute, he's not good with balls. Channie, Bin, and Hyunjinnie are really good at school and stuff so. ⬇️⬇️
Episode 11 All night skz & mystery kitchen+ jinnie 😭😭 They did those two series when he was on hiatus so that's why he said that.... Ah the reason they're washing their hair is because in all night skz they washed each other's hair. The amount of times I have used that Ottoke clip oh Hannie 😭
Episode 12 Hannie singing day6 is my religion 😫🥺 Fun fact, Lee Know always has cat snacks on him. He sees wild cats a lot 😭 idk how but the cats know. Seungmin peeled the shrimp for Channie it reminds me of a drama, that Seungmin did an ost for 😭 it means you love someone because it's such a hassle Thanks for the longer video! Can't wait for the next one 😊
Hi! I really like your reactions! ❤️ If you like stray kids doing sports, you could look at the channel ‘just in random’ there is a video called “ best of stray kids/ hall of fame” and it’s really fun to watch for people who likes sports like me! No need to watch it and thank you for all your reactions!❤️ And I’m sorry for my writing, english is not my first language
I am vegan and the whole episode of cooking (and eating) the chicken was kinda hard to me. When the episode came out i just skipped the most of it but now because i want to see your reaction i am just looking at you and not at the chicken :"(
They recreated the other two mini series they had: Up all night (Chan, Felix, Changbin and Seungmin did that series) and misterious kitchen (Han, I.n and Minho). Hyunjin was om hiatus at the time so he didn't do any of those. In up all night Chan did Felixs hair and Seungmin did Changbins. And in misteriois kitchen they made food. So they just used those two shows and now switched the roles (the ones thaz did misterious kitchen are now doing the hair and the ones that did up all night are now cooking). Hope u undersstand me😅
Ohhhhh I see I see!! Thanks for the explanation xx
@@melaniereacts no problem, take care❤
Fun fact: Hyunjin complained in bbl that they didn't show he cooked haha so the next ep (ep 11) they showed him cooking.
HAHAHA that's hilarious!!
LMAO😂
If you want to see more cooking Lee Know you should definitely watch Mysterious Kitchen !
Hyunjin draw a flower named saxifrage (on the painting that he gave to I.N) and I.N said that it blooms on his birthday that's why he's so happy.
So precious!!!
Chan, Hyunjin, and Changbin are good at sports 😊 they usually have competitive banter about who'd win between the three of them, from swimming to bowling and other sports.
Lee Know is good at martial arts and has multiple black belts but he said he's not good with ball sports.
Seungmin used to be a baseball player, not too sure though about other ball sports. Lol. Not too sure about the rest of the kids. 🙂
Ahhhhhh thanks for the info Elle xx
We know that Han doesn’t like sports and is afraid of the ball.
@@bluebee7335 haha omg why is he so adorable
We dont know nothing about I.N's sports skills, they never talked about it. Only we know: he has abs and muscles. Kkkkkk
I think Felix is good in martial arts too, don't know which belt color he reached before quiting, but he is good uwu
If I remember correctly then at least half of skz did sports (I know Chan, Seungmin, Felix and Hyunjin. Not sure about the rest of them) but Lee Know has this luck where he wins the games/sports.
Also as a Filipina I totally get it, the food here is mostly meat, even the veggies can have meat mixed in.
Yeah.. lee know has this lucky charm.. always wins.. haha
46:41 Lee know put the pepper in hyunjin's mouth earlier🤣
HAHA ahhh of course he did! Doesn’t surprise me lol

- 1:21:47 This is an example of something both Seungmin and the others have commented on in the past: Seungmin in particular notices that Chan always puts himself last, gives everyone else the food first, lets them have all the bits he likes best and pretends he doesn't like those bits, etc. So Seungmin tries to stealthily return the care as much as he can, often with regards to food-related stuff.
The next episode is adorable, btw. They're a mess.
1:00:03 - LOL I have heard about the grape juice vlive.. I definitely need to check this out asap.
1:02:23 - hahahaha this is the first I am hearing about the legendary curtain!!!
re. insomnia / night owls - I have ALWAYS wanted to do studies on those who thrive in the night (not just late in the day but like middle of the night 2-3am). I want to check their digestive and metabolism function, hormone levels, recovery rate etc.... Because as you said - you feel as though you are "programmed" to work better at the opposite hours to whats seen as a "regular/normal" sleep wake cycle. So I wonder how the body has adapted and how it's functioning, if it's being hindered etc... I am SOOOOO curious!! If you know of any studies that have been done, let me know!
1:14:22 hahahaha I am such a morning person! Nothing makes me feel more "alive" that getting up for a sunrise walk!! lol
1:17:18 - ohhhh that' right, Han hates bugs!! I forgot about that lol makes sense now!
1:21:47 - Chan really is like a parent isn't he. He has such a deep care for his members, it's incredibly heart warming. It's nice to know Seungmin notices (as I'm sure they all do) and likes to return the care.
@@melaniereacts I used to have a few pieces of research, but I think that was about three laptops ago, and I'm guessing there's better, more updated research available at this point. Now _I_ want to go see what's new! As for anecdotal data, there was some peeking under the hood and, much to their chagrin, the docs had to agree that I did (do) indeed function much better at night -- more alert, more responsive, more coordinated, lower stress, etc. Basically I function at 2 am the way most "normal" people function at noon or whenever it is that morning people are at their best. I'm awake rn for unavoidable and annoying reasons, but I'd prefer not to be.
Yeah, he really is. And I love them for all knowing and responding in their own way, whether it's Seungmin trying to stealth feed him, Felix giving him Aussie bro treatment, Han clowning for him, whatever. I'm grateful they all have each other and know how to care for each other.
lord flying cockroaches are the bane of my existence. WHY THE HELL DO THEY EXIST. WHY DO THEY HAVE WINGS!?!??!
SERIOUSLY WTF!!!!!!! It’s so gross 🤣
You really do have stories for DAYS lol. I need to travel more so I can tell stories like these lol
These are my fave eps of the SKZ Code series! So nice to see them just get away for a while. Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, and Seungmin seem to be pretty good at most sports, Chan is super competitive too. For Lee Know its kinda weird, he could be terrible but then as time goes on he quickly gets better. He always has luck on his side too. Poor Han is just hopeless lol
Yeah this was when we found out they moved into new dorms and were separated. I was so happy for them bc they deserved to have a bigger space and their own rooms for years now but I'll admit I was a little sad knowing they weren't all together. That old dorm with the crappy kitchen curtain was a hot mess but there were so many memories from that place. They're always sleeping over at each other's dorms now so I guess not much has really changed
Hahaha Han cracked me up!! 🤣 he was struggling!!
And yeah I can imagine it would have been sad! It’s so nice that they have their own space but it would have been better if they were all in the same dorm still. But I can imagine them always sleeping over due to separation anxiety 🤣🤣🤣
Hyunjin is really really look so fine in this episodes. like a real prince😳
He really does!
- Felix: "The pork belly is on sale!"
the pork belly: ₩16800 .6kg
me, who bought pork belly for about $4.50 lb this week: _dying_
They spent ₩84000/us$68/aus$91.68 for what would be less than $30 here. A reminder to me why everyone in Korea always gets so excited about someone buying meat for them.
- 41:56 It's SKZ, so of course there's inside knowledge even about this. I.N has directly said that he doesn't like lying on Lee Know's lap because his thighs are rock-hard and it hurts...whereas he likes lying on Changbin's lap because he's soft and comfortable.
- If you go to 43:07 and frame-by-frame through 43:11 (it's hard to catch at normal speed), you'll see the immediate focus of Lee Know's attention. The man has priorities, and those priorities are not humans.
- 46:44 He has a pepper in his mouth because Lee Know's version of "get him an eye covering" was to instead shove a pepper in Hyunjin's mouth.
- 49:26 Yeah, "bomb" is "fail." Generally "fail spectacularly," at least in American usage. (If you fail in making the rice, it's probably kinda mushy. If you bomb, it's probably either charcoal or soup.)
- 51:03 The first time you watch a full episode of "댕냥스쿨로," you'll understand why he's cutting like that. Seungmin is second only to Changbin in terms of rich young master upbringing; he's a kitchen menace. (A twt quote about their cooking: "i love the range and diversity of stray kids’ members, they have chef lee know in cooking shows and everything then there’s seungmin stir frying a pancake")
- 51:15 Funnily enough, the members were actually asked who they'd want to be stuck with/who would survive on a desert island or in some similar survival situation. Everyone chose Minsung. Lee Know's demonstrably competent and calm, but Han is also surprisingly very practical. Lee Know thinks outside the box, and Han thinks very, very quickly. I actually agreed with the members and came up with the same answer when they were being asked. Channie would be solid backup, but unless the situation required them to be very quiet, I'd go with Minsung first. If nothing else, unlike Chan, they'd be unlikely to unecessarily sacrifice themselves for you at the first opportunity and leave you on your own.
- 52:20 Since Mysterious Kkami won the competition and thus aren't required to do manual labor, but it would be boring to just have them sitting around during all the cooking, they played hair-salon basically so there's content to film. The members of Mysterious Kkami cooked in Mysterious Kitchen, while the members of the cooking team (I can't remember what they named themselves in this) were All-Night SKZ and played hair salon in an episode. So they've switched roles.
yeah I have heard meat is super pricey in Korea!!!!!
41:56 HAHAHA I mean, Changbin does look super comfy, not going to lie!!
46:44 lol at this point it doesn't even surprise me anymore!!
51:15 ohhhhhhh that's actually super interesting. I mean I would be stoked to be stuck on an island with them lol
I love these episodes, so much fun. Some classic SKZ moments were born here
They are sooooo fun to watch aren't they!!
Ah, the game where Lee Know became a meme. Lol.
- Oh HELL no. I can't believe you're still recording from inside that apartment. I'd be on a different continent by now. The roach can keep the place.
- The chicken bothers them mostly because neither of those two can cook. Like, at all. So they've never handled food like that. They've never had to. First they had their parents, then they had JYP-BOB, and then they had takeout and Lee Know. And Changbin in particular is filthy rich; nobody made the princeling learn how to feed himself when he was growing up. Both of them do the apparently universal "I can throw food (that other people have prepared) onto a fire and grunt manfully" grilling thing, but that's pretty much it. They're both a wee bit delicate and pampered.
- 14:13 That blunt knife made me so nervous, especially handled by someone like Hyunjin (inexperienced _and_ accident prone). If you eventually get around to watching stuff like Mysterious Kitchen or some of the vlives where they cook, you'll see a pattern of Lee Know doing what he did: watching them like a hawk and taking care of them by stepping in like a parent does when their eight-year-old has reached the limits of their skills. There's never a display of any kind, and he's never trying to one-up; he just quietly slides in and handles things so no one feels bad. This is the kind of stuff outsiders who call him mean don't get.
- them: _literally dunking each bite of food in pure salt_ "We always seem to swell after eating. It's a mystery."
- 21:43 Changbin's dead-eyed look in response to that terrible pun from Hyunjin was all over socmed three seconds after this aired. It was hilarious.
- Chan is obviously their main all-around athlete. But Hyunjin is a really good swimmer and pretty good at soccer. Felix is a good swimmer and archer. Lee Know gives absolutely zero f*cks about most competitive athletics (you've witnessed his patented grandpa run), but he's gone dead-center in archery and is unnervingly strong in one-on-one contact competition. (Han is any theatre kid/choir geek/band nerd forced to endure PE class; the boy is _not_ made for competitive sports.) All of them have to be competitive in some form, or they wouldn't be where they are right now, but in terms of sports, Chan is the most competitive overall. The frustration of all the abysmal foot volleyball action was _killing_ him. If you want to see how badly he outclasses them in this game and why it was slowly destroying his soul to play it, this is just a small but very telling snippet: ruclips.net/video/tifHawT6U88/видео.html
- Notice that the times Han falls, it's in the same way, in the same position, going the same direction? Don't get me wrong -- he's a known klutz. But if you watch closely, you'll see his foot placement. You've probably noticed his legs before, but if not, he's referred to as the anime girl or the one with anime-girl legs. He's noticeably intoed/pigeon-toed. Both times he fell, the others likely wouldn't have, but with the way his feet are naturally positioned, he doesn't have balance when turning like that.
hahaha awwww precious boys! It's nice to know they have been looked after though!!
14:13 - he is so protective over them. I don't get why people would ever call him mean. He likes to make fun of them and play games etc.. but never once in this whole journey of getting to know them have I ever thought he was mean. If you pay close enough attention which ppl clearly don't, you will see the ways he cares for them. It's never super super obvious though which is maybe why ppl miss it.
Ok just watched that clip of Chan playing foot volleyball and holy crap that was so entertaining haha... he thrives in these kind of things! you can see how much he genuinely enjoys playing! He is so good!
As for Han's legs. YES I have noticed. I couldn't tell if he was pigeoned toed or if he was slightly bow legged. I didn't notice that he falls the same way, I will have to go and watch again. Makes total sense though and I wonder if this is why he doesn't necessarily do well in these kind of games. I also wonder if it affects his dance? I mean, he is an insane dancer so I would think not??
@@melaniereacts Yeah, Lee Know gets done dirty by people who've never bothered to actually pay attention. It bugs the sh1t out of me. I mean, he literally just treats them the way a cat would. The cat loves his person. That doesn't mean he won't smack them if they annoy him, give them a death glare to remind them of their place in the world order, or amuse himself by pushing their buttons. 😆
I suspect that his legs might be part of why this kind of game isn't really his thing, but who knows how much of that is direct physiology, how much is the result of inexperience/lack of coordination because he had a harder time playing earlier in life and thus didn't develop the skills, and how much is simply being an introverted theatre kid who greatly enjoys impersonating a sloth. Probably all three to some extent.
I've studied so much of his dancing trying to see if his legs affect it. Overall, they don't seem to. There's occasionally visual elements that don't quite match the others' simply because his feet fall into a different placement when they're all holding a position or whatever. But I think he's probably very used to unconsciously compensating. Even stuff like the Maniac drill spin, which is all about legs, seems fine; he actually gets it cleaner and more consistent than a lot of the others.
Ten or twenty years down the road, the intoeing might start causing physical issues, but at the moment, as best I've been able to tell, he seems pretty unaffected, barring his utter inability to not embarrass himself in competitive sports. So I'm hoping that remains the case.
Fwiw, along with being able to identify SKZ as a whole, among a crowd of idols, just by looking at their feet/shoes, we can usually ID Minsung among SKZ by looking for The Thighs and the Anime GF. (I had to know...I just searched and confirmed that, yes, "Han anime legs" will indeed get several yt results. I'm howling.)
I BEEN WAITI G FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UPPP
❤️❤️❤️
Keep pausing, I love your mini-stories!!
I relate SO MUCH on the meat looking like animals thing! I'm mostly pescatarian but I do eat meat occasionally AS LONG AS it doesn't look like the animal. Even regular raw meat really grosses me out. I absolutely love crab/shrimp (prawns?) but omg if its whole I will run away!
Hahahaha yeah it just grosses me out! Like let me eat the food without having to know what I’m actually eating 🤣🤣
We finally found a thing that our ace jisung can't do it's foot volleyball 😂😂 it was not hannie's day he lost the mission & ice cream bet too had wake up early to cook breakfast poor hannie
🤣🤣😂
Always love your reaction, really satisfying🥺 Honestly I can't wait for their concert at the end of April, it's going to get goosebumps!!🤧
So jealous you get to see them! It's going to be so amazing!!!
This felt so cosy, loved it! I couldn’t but laugh when you talked about the fact we need the sun and we’re not meant to be awake during the night because I work at night and it has been really hard to maintain a healthy diet while being sleep depraved.
Ahhhh I can imagine that would be so hard! In saying that, our bodies are super adaptable so all we can do is our best and hope our body catches up lol
thank god you got better but omg love your channel feeding us alll the skz content
Hahaha hoping I stay well! I swear if I don’t get Covid then I’ll be VERY surprised 🤣
29:10 when lee know said pfizer it is the name of the covid vaccine.
Yeah I know but I was confused as to why he said it hahaha
@@melaniereacts oh okay! I was thinking maybe he wants to show the power of that vaccine... haha :D
@@melaniereacts this was filmed around the time they were all getting the shots so he probably just said it for fun hahah
Great video, Mel! Hope you continue to feel better! 🤞😀
hehe thank you lovely xx
These episodes are so cute ;_;
This reminds me to suggest you watch Up All Night and Misterious Kitchen if you ever find the time. Both cute little shows, but I swear I could rewatch Up All Night over and over, it's so cute and comforting 🥺
yesss I'll definitely watch those at some point!! xxx
Also dw abouy pausing to much! I love ur lil stories
hehe thank you xx
You mentioned my country Philippines ❤️
One of my favourite countries to go to ❤️❤️
Omg yeahhhhh !!!!! So exited
❤️❤️❤️
This episodes are basically skz on vacation, it's nice to see, just them relaxing and having fun in the countryside.
This is gonna take a while, it's almost an hour and half...I'm enjoying it not gonna lie. Are you going to reach to the last three together too? EP.13 is a solo episode while 14 and 15 are connected.
I will probably do ep 13 on its own and then 14 & 15 together. I like doing long reactions but I think this one was a tad too long hahaha but everyone told me to do it together! I mean I looooved watching, but I know for a lot of people it's a bit too long to sit and watch haha
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories with us. stay healthy
I was eating when you started talking about the ballsack of a whale lmao thanks Melanie 🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHAHA I'm sorry 🤣🤣🤣
First! As always I’m at school so I’ll be back soon ❤️ I already know that your reaction will be great ☺️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ох,это мой самый любимый skz code. Ребята совершенно очаровательные,когда они такие домашние и веселые. И я просто обожаю,когда они готовят)) спасибо за совместный просмотр,Мелани!
So basically about your story eating food that u didn't like - SKZ had the same show in Japan where they were put on a same situation- there were 2 scenarios one , they had to drink this very bitter tea and as to avoid showing off as rude they had to drink it despite the taste , another scenario was they were given a defective chair where they literally had to use their legs as support while sitting down - it was hilarious but i felt really sorry for them - u have to see that .. my goodness..
hahahaha omg that sounds so funny!!
58:52 he wants to become a 🐼
hahahaha yes I saw his reply just before! Soooooo cute
But before, he said he wants to become a killer whale because they're smart.
also, i personally think the stories that you pause to tell make your videos more entertaining to watch!
haha ok that's good to know!!! lol xx
Thank you for another great reaction video. Glad you are still doing well!
I actually guessed panda, when Chan asked to guess - I did not expect it to be right!
If you are doing more Oddinary things, maybe you would like to add in Maniac live singing (from KBS CoolFM channel)
Looking forward to your next video as always!
I'm currently binge-watching your old videos because I absolutely love your reactions, but you asked a question in the video, as to what Lee know was feeding the cats
Answer: Red ginseng. It is immensely common in South Korea, and it's safe for both humans and pets. It's an herb that helps in many ways of the body, for both species so don't worry too much. 😭 It's so cute that he went and found stray cats to feed.
Haha thanks for the info 😘😘😘
Thanks for your reaction😊
the cockroach story lmaooo
hahaha 💀💀💀💀
hope you and your partner are feeling better and recover quick mel ! dw about pausing too much your story times are fun can’t wait for you to react to the making of all their mvs their street version music videos english remakes and more content
hehe thank you!!
Wowwwww ❤️❤️❤️
I've just found your channel and I absolutely LOVE your reactions ❤️ 😄
aww thank you so much!!! xx
These episodes remind me of up all night and mysterious kitchen, where the respective pairs you see here reverse their roles. Chan, binne, seungmin and felix in up all night and lee know, han and IN in mysterious kitchen. Our hyune was supposed to be there as well but you know 😔
But as the title of Mysterious kitchen suggested, it was therapy for us during that time with all that happened in kingdom and stuff. You'll definitely love this. It was very calming and therapeutic 😌 💫. If you can, please do watch it. 😊
Here this the playlist
ruclips.net/p/PL7oOLgspkcprhiLhjxbm8uQYRQ7N_qwid
It's on the list to react to shortly!! Can't wait xx
my cheeks hurt from smiling
hahaha same!!
absolutely cackled at the story where you forced your sick boyfriend to get the cockroach. i 100% would have done the same thing.
HAHAHAHA I don't care if he is on his death bed, I am NOT dealing with that hahahaha
I've been a vegetarian for 12 years soon 13 and i'm afraid my body can't digest meat but the meat they eat looks so good
Our bodies would get used to it! but you would need to introduce it slowly lol
Because of the smoke of the fire their hair is smelling so they washed it
Ohhhh of course! That makes sense!
AAAAA I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH HHH
thank you for this😍
❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Thanks, mel 💗
Thanks Christopher xxx
i hope you feel good, thanks again for reacting to stray kids i love youu :D
thank you xx

Thanks Susy xx
I hope you will feel better in no time and covid will "avoid" you 😉🤟
15:45 you know I could've lived without that piece of information...🤢😭
HAHAHAHAHA apologies
31:17 I heard the word netball and was summoned 😂 I can’t umpire anymore either bc I zone out too hahaha though I was considering umpiring at where I play social bc the games are shorter (10 minute quarters) but then I have to deal with telling men they don’t know the rules 💀
I seriously miss it! But I only want to umpire interesting games 😂😂😂
Mel, maybe a lil comment if you could put timestamps :) cause I really enjoy your SKZ content but tbh I can't always watch it in one take, cause it's long:)
If you could of course, timestamps for videos would be great ❣️
Thanks in advance and wish your cozy channel growth, thanks for SKZ content
Definitely when I have the time! But for a lot of videos I am filming and then running off to work 🙈🙈🙈 but when I get the chance I shall!

Now since this is such a long video and I talk a lot I put my comments in sections TT
Episode 10
I love these three episodes, they're so calm and it was good for them to get some time like this even tho there were filming. TT I grew up not eating any pork or shellfish ( kosher or hallah whichever) so it took me so long to get used to seeing them eat it. Shellfish and squid and all of that dont bother me anymore but the thought of eat pork 💀😟 no bueno. Hannie is so cute, he's not good with balls. Channie, Bin, and Hyunjinnie are really good at school and stuff so.
⬇️⬇️
Episode 11
All night skz & mystery kitchen+ jinnie 😭😭
They did those two series when he was on hiatus so that's why he said that....
Ah the reason they're washing their hair is because in all night skz they washed each other's hair.
The amount of times I have used that Ottoke clip oh Hannie 😭
Episode 12
Hannie singing day6 is my religion 😫🥺
Fun fact, Lee Know always has cat snacks on him. He sees wild cats a lot 😭 idk how but the cats know. Seungmin peeled the shrimp for Channie it reminds me of a drama, that Seungmin did an ost for 😭 it means you love someone because it's such a hassle
Thanks for the longer video! Can't wait for the next one 😊
Hi! I really like your reactions! ❤️ If you like stray kids doing sports, you could look at the channel ‘just in random’ there is a video called “ best of stray kids/ hall of fame” and it’s really fun to watch for people who likes sports like me! No need to watch it and thank you for all your reactions!❤️
And I’m sorry for my writing, english is not my first language
I am vegan and the whole episode of cooking (and eating) the chicken was kinda hard to me. When the episode came out i just skipped the most of it but now because i want to see your reaction i am just looking at you and not at the chicken :"(
hahahaha you can just watch me cringe when looking at the chicken hahahaha
