After first hearing cover me, it should be legally required to watch han lose his mind trying to record the really high adlib that Chan and hyunjin sprung on him last minute
Stray Kids is one of those groups where you're SO SURE you have a bias then they drop the next MV and you're like WAIT... I swear I was Hyunjin all the way until Changbin kicked my ass in Thunderous, then Seungmin came along with his S-Class and Han with Get Lit and seriously, it's just so exhausting having a whole GROUP as a bias.
I realized I would rotate between Felix Hyunjin and Leeknow depending on the song so I landed on danceratcha bias but I.N. just had to do whatever tf that was this comeback and bring me back to my OT8 reality...
Just to give a little background on red lights, since it had such an effect on you😂: SKZ made a series (song camp: howl in harmony) in which their 3 main producers each paired up with the other members to create songs together. Bang chan paired with hyunjin to make a "sexy" song (red lights), changbin grouped with felix and lee know to create a "fun summer vibe" (surfin), and han worked with seungmin and I.N to write a sad song/ballad (gone away). All 3 songs have mvs, and the series/bts can be found on their RUclips channel. Red lights is actually called "compulsion" in Korean and refers to how they feel driven to do the things they do. Both hyunjin (whose life is consumed with dancing and art) and chan (who famously can't sleep and brings his laptop everywhere) know what it is to feel hostage to the red lights of the recording booth. I don't think either man knows how to chill. They wrote lyrics that could be interpreted many different ways, however, and the mv makes us ALL blush😂. Most importantly (in my opinion), the Red lights mv is also a huge statement about their open-mindedness. They used one of korea's openly gay directors to create it and made the artistic choice to use just two men (when they could have easily brought in a woman). In an industry/culture that has not been traditionally open to LGBTQ lifestyles, stray kids have always made a point of being inclusive and boundary- challenging. They are a safe haven for all people. I am so proud of the human beings they are. Regarding your question about why you haven't heard of this song bf... I don't think it's because red lights is underrated (it's LEGENDARY) amongst STAY. I think the problem is more that SKZ are underrated. They have literally hundreds of songs and dozens of mvs, but they remain extremely misunderstood outside of STAY. Their talent is off the charts, but they have to fight for every ounce of recognition they receive. Their backstory is filled with haters and ignorant people writing them off as "noise music." I really don't understand it, but it's always wonderful to see more people like you discovering how special they are ❤. Tyty for this reaction, can't wait for more ❤.
I hadn't heard of Stray Kids before Deadpool appeared in Chk Chk Boom, and then I only heard about because of Ryan Reynolds - it popped up in my RUclips algorithym and I thought, "Well, if Ryan likes it, how bad can it be?" and then the Felix Effect hit and I started looking into the group. I'm a baby STAY, but I'm trying to make up for lost time. The fact that they are so very very talented - all of them - just makes it better. They all sing. They all dance. They all rap. They all have fun senses of humor, are determined to have fun while changing the world for the better. They all do make the world a better place. Yeah, I'm sticking around because they are constantly changing, growing, and pushing themselves to try new things and techniques and play with old ones.
And the fact that Hyunjin and Bang Chan wrote and composed Red Lights and Cover Me. So some also step out and do other things, as Hyunjin isn't normally writing, composing songs. A lot of them do this. It's sick how talented they all are.
ahaha I think you'd really love Slump, Taste, and Levanter--I recommend checking those out! Especially Taste, considering how much you loved Red Lights
OMG your reaction to Red Lights was so funny and so accurate haha. Bang Chan is super talented but he likes to let his members shine. It's nice to see him shine in this song
Sometimes I forget why chan was considered such a legend among jyp trainees and why jyp people came to his house in 2010 after his audition video and songs like red lights remind me. Chan is so talented beyond his producing and songwriting, he’s a vocalist and rapper and as we often forget, a dancer, and it’s always amazing to see him show off in those areas
Personally I as an OT8, I feel all members are all rounders but while we usually talk about Han being and ace I think Chan, Changbin and Han are aces with the rapping, vocals, dance, composing music, songwriting and production skills. Han though is just a different genius altogether. ✨ enjoy your reactions!!
Slient cry, youtiful, lovestay, and slump for some beautiful vocals. Domino, hall of fame, complex, and topline for some bangers. Case 143, maniac, venom, and taste to fall in love. I would recommend listening to some of their I guess older music before you watch their newest album because for their newest album they try a new flavor and genre of sort and its fun to hear it after you already know some of their other songs.
It was so honest. It would have been easy to edit, but Dylan left it as is and that's amazing. Yeah, I'm sure I made a few noises the first time, too. I make different noises now. 🤷
I am OT8 however. I noticed Felix first in God's Menu but Bang Chan became my ult bias in Kpop shortly after once getting to know all the members. Bangchan is an underrated vocalist and is always hiding his incredible voice in the demo's or in behind the harmonies. Like in Cover Me he sings "Oh no no," when Han is singing in the end. To recommend and album I highly recommend NOEASY or Oddinary album! Great reaction.
When you said bang chan was bias-wrecking you that made me sooooo happy because it's not usual for reactors to highlight bang chan that much, so ty for that. He's actually my bias but as you said it's actually difficult to choose one in this particular group because they are all so talented, but anyways, tysm for your reaction i loved it
good to see that not only us „old“ Stays need to touch grass after Red Lights 😅 There are so many good Videos to recommend, need a minute to think about it. Yes it’s really hard to keep one Bias 😂 I am glad you like Stray Kids as much as we do❤ Welcome ❤
19:23 that ''no more!'' is so real haha, i really loved ur reaction and im really enjoying ur skz reaction vids :) can i recommend a beautifull song? its 'silent cry' and its a personal fav of mine :D
Stray Kids all have amazing vocalists, I personally think they're all all rounded. You should definitely listen to "Volcano by Han and Seungmin" and "Hold On" also by Han and Seungmin. It's SOOO good. The vocals in these ones are insane here. It's not an album or track but they performed it on the 2 kids show. And I highly recommend you watch those since you love the vocal side. Side Note: If you like Bangchan he has a song called, "I hate to admit" on the SKZ Replay album. His vocals are top notch.
Hate to admit by Bang Chan was really the first time I was like wow this man can sing. He (as a producer and leader) always makes sure his members shine so sometimes it’s easy to forget he’s AMAZING.
Since you saw Red Lights, I’d highly recommend the other unit songs from the same album - Surfin’ and Gone Away. Let’s also say… Mixtape: Oh, Blueprint and Secret Secret.
The gasp and giggle at the end of Red Lights killed me. And your face during the dining table scene... We've all been there, lol. I feel like you probably haven't seen Red Lights, not so much that it is underrated, more that we try to sort of ease reactors into it--but it also depends on the reactor. More vocal tracks you should definitely check out: Voices (the m/v is with their former member) beautiful and powerful song/vocals Levanter Waiting for Us (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N.)-there is a gorgeous live performance of this you should definitely check out. *they did a sort of unit swap (Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, and Han performed Waiting For Us (which is a crazy hard song to sing--especially when your focus is rap--this excludes Han of course because he is stupid amazing at both rap and singing)) and Chan, I.N., Lee Know, and Seungmin performed the rap track Muddy Water, also definitely worth checking out. Neverending Story Gone Away- Han, Seungmin, and I.N. (this was the 2nd of the 3 tracks made during one of their series "Howl in Harmony" that also produced Red Lights and Surfin) I also want to suggest "Circus" because you brought up the circus at the beginning of Backdoor, and because the 2 songs have a sort of similar, fun, dynamic vibe.
Is there someone who doesn't? They could make an angel weep with that one! It's so beautiful, well danced, and hits some universal human emotions (expecially if you think of it from the "Complusion" viewpoint).
Yes more SKZ reactions! NoEasy (pronounced both No Easy and Noisy) is probably my all time fave album (however that is like picking my favorite SKZ member which is impossible.). NoEasy has both Thunderous and Red Lights (one of three unit songs). It was a clapback album for the criticism of them only creating "noise music". The album really runs through their skillset as rappers, vocalists, performers, lyricists, and producers. Every member has a writing credit on that album. Cheese is one of their most ridiculous (said with love) songs as it quite literally is a "catching haters in 4K" song. Secret Secret and Silent Cry are a one-two punch in the feels. Domino is one of their most iconic b-side performances with the wordplay built in to the choreography. The View is such a warm and bright celebration of their joy in the moments where they can take a moment to stop and appreciate what is around them. When I first started with SKZ I ran through their discography from their pre-debut Mixtape to present (which at the time was the God's Menu drop) and getting to hear their growth as producers really solidified for me that I wasn't getting out of Stayville. Then getting to know them as people and artists through their other content locked me down for good. I've been a fan of kpop for a long time and have been through the generations, and to this day, Stray Kids have stuck with me in a way no other boy group has yet.
16:20 This song along with Twilight and levanter (eng) are my top favorite Caloming songs from stray kids that constantly make me warm and even cry after listening to them There are a lot of emotions there which i can't even explain
Oh and they have an album out called skz replay... Its all solo and duo and unit songs from their channel released on album fir streaming.... So good to see their unique personalities come through on their solo stuff
Thank you so much for reacting to Stray Kids! It's one of my ult groups besides Trendz (I'm very specific with what I like). If you want to know about a newer group heavily inspired by Skz (all members look up to Stray Kids and want to explore a variety of genders like them) maybe you can give Trendz an opportunity!! I recommend Vagabond, New Dayz, Glow, Who and Villain (this last one is mostly choreography but choreo is one of the most complex ones I've seen plus they're really good singers, the song was written by Jinjin from the boygroup ASTRO)
Also, Bang Chan's voice is absolutely incredible--check out his solo song, "Hate to Admit." It is one of my favorite songs ever. And as far as albums...my go to is No Easy. It has a lot of tracks and they are all beautiful and/or powerful and fun. This is also the album "Red Lights" and "Thunderous" is on.
Seungmin, the member who first drew me in…recommendation to watch the reality series Kingdom when Seungmin sang IU’s Love Poem with Eunkwang (BTOB) and Jungho (Ateez)..Seungmin was unbelievable in it. Everyone was blown away and so was I. Still one of my favourite performances.
I'm so happy you reacted to Cover Me! 😭 It's one of my favorite song ever, and the lyrics are so beautiful. It was written by Hyunjin, he said he got inspired when one night, he couldn't sleep and was lying on his bed, and looking at the moonlight coming for the window, he wished someone was there, sitting on the window, covering that light for him. When Hyunjin write, it always seems like you're reading/listening to poetry. Hyunjin also wrote Red Light with Bangchan, and if you liked that, I suggest you to listen to Taste (also written and sung by Hyunjin, Felix and Lee Know), it has a similar vibe to Red Light. There's no music video but there's a live performance or lyrics video (i suggest you to check both). And if you like vocal songs, you have to listen to Waiting for Us (Bangchan, Lee Know, Seungmin, IN - there is also a live one version sung by Changbin, Hyunjin, Han and Felix) and also Star and Raindrops (Seungmin). Also, you should check both Chk Chk Boom, the main track from their last comeback, and Case 143, which is absolutely funny and crazy, both in terms of music video, coreography and lyrics.
I am so here for being able to watch your stay journey!! I have only been a Stay since March if this year. I definitely recommend: 1.DLC 2. FNF (This one is very slow and beautiful) 3. Get Lit (The song is such a bop and is so visually pretty) 4. Deep End by Felix ( It doesnt have a mv just a lyric video, but it gives goosebumps and tears every time i hear it) I hope you continue to share ur Stay journey with us❤
I think No Easy (their album that plays on the word Noisy) would be a good one to purchase and listen to. It's a full album with a lot of variation. I think over time I've come to associate certain songs with each other. So, like Red Lights goes with Taste (DanceRACHA), Drive (Lee Know and Bang Chan), Charmer, and Connected (Bang Chan). Red Lights, Taste, and Drive are widely accepted as the sexy songs of SKZ. Cover Me goes along with Levanter, Hero's Soup, Slump, Leave, Secret Secret, Sorry I love you, Mixtape: Oh, Lonely St. and DLMLU in my mind. They're all emotional songs. I can't forget Volcano (Han) and Streetlight (Changbin). The lyrics on Streetlight are heartbreaking. Thunderous fits with My Pace, Cheese, Topline, Easy, Victory Song, and Double Knot. It's their way of responding to hate they get in clever ways and being confident in themselves. Back Door is a fun song and makes me thing of Get Cool, ALL IN, Circus, Awkward Silence, Get Lit, JJAM, and TA. The types of songs that you can't help but move with and smile at. Personally, I would say your next video should end with the song Stray Kids after watching the videos they reference Hellevator (pre-debut), Spread My Wings (pre-debut), District 9 (debut song), Levanter, Miroh, Lonely St, and Blueprint. I know it may be too much for one video, but watching the referenced mvs and then seeing the mv for Stray Kids makes it incredibly meaningful. They've had such an amazing journey and us Stay are so so proud of them for staying true to themselves. They deserve all of the love and praise bc they're all incredibly talented. Essentially, their entire discography is amazing ever since pre-debut. You can't go wrong with SKZ. If I'm remembering correctly, they were the first Korean group to go on The First Take and now have 4 videos on the channel (I think). That's also an awesome series of videos to watch. Especially Slump, Scars, and Case 143. Felix kills me every time on Case 143 on The First Take. Also, if you noticed, Changbin has a gorgeous voice on Cover Me which isn't expected of him since he's such an incredible rapper. You can see his vocals in Because (Changbin and Felix) and Lose My Breathe SKZ version live performance. I'm going to stop rambling now but I'm looking forward to your next video!!
The way I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time, this is probably my favourite reaction to SKZ and I can't wait to see more. Please upload more SKZ reactions, I definitely subscribed! I would love to see your reaction to their new song Chk Chk Boom and to a lyric only video HEYDAY (rap based). But if you want to be floored you should watch the Love Poem cover with Seungmin on the show Kingdom. And to get an idea of all of their pure vocals listen to their live recordings of THE FIRST TAKE on RUclips! 🥰 Also the double take of Chan's outfit during thunderous was all too real. 😂 BangChan wrecks us all.
I loved your reactions!! Your eyes cracked me up watching 😳😂 I also saw your eyes with Felix during cover me.. yes that was him!! you should listen to deep end by Felix!! Be prepared though, it’s a deep song! Taste is a must listen to, it’s the cousin of red lights. I can’t name just one album!! It makes me physically unwell, I can’t choose!! Ahhhhh Rockstar, 5-star, Oddinary, Ate, and Maxident are my top and all amazing!!! It’s like choosing a favorite child, you just can’t!
Thank you so much for bringing back memories and feelings I had when I first watched these videos. Please don't stop reacting to stray kids. I've never been so happy watching reaction videos. Also, you don't stop every 2 seconds and your reactions are genuine. 😊😊😊
I love you point out that Stray Kids has good control so their dance moves looks smooth but strong. That make a lot of difference when you don't have good body control and not practice enough when other trying to copy it.
I'm a relatively new stay and this was so much fun watching this with you. This was pretty much my exact reactions hearing and seeing this all for the first time. ❤️
Omfg I am so here for this. Taste is definitely one to check out if you liked Red Lights. Its Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix and its like Red Lights on roids, in my opinion anyway, and the performance videos are to die for since the song doesn't have a music video. Bang Chan wrecked me too btw I feel so seen 🤣
Back Door is also some of my fave choreo. As a couple of fun variations to watch they have a video where they pulled another members name and had to do their choreo to the song, and another where they try to do it blindfolded.
With Stray Kids they have : 8 main rappers 8 main dancers 8 main vocalists And 8 main visuals When they were at the contest Kingdom, the MC ask who there main vocalists were. Everyone else knew no problem but Stray Kids were very confused and didn’t know who to pick. lol 😂
So glad you love Cover Me. It is my fav Stray Kids song because all the boys (even the rappers) just showed why they are kings. All of them melt your heart with every note. My first listen Changbin made me cry with his harmony.
Watching Bang Chan attacking you in real time was so precious! 🤣. I'd love to see you react to Christmas Evel and 24 to 25 just as a little festive set.
Thank you for reacting to all theses videos. I‘m a baby stay myself and I love watching people react to the mvs for the first time. I don‘t know every song of them but I really like Case 143 and Twilight ( from their new mini album ATE)
omg i love your vibe, i can’t wait to watch more of your videos ^^ picking a stray kids album is like choosing a limb to sacrifice oh gosh ㅠㅠ i have too many favourites spread out over too many albums, so i wont be much help there lol but welcome fellow stay~
3racha basically write and produce everything, but Cover Me was written by Hyunjin. Highly recommend watching the matching behind the scenes and SKZ Codes. They are hilarious people.
Love your reaction! Can't wait to see more. I wish the color coded lyrics would mention who wrote the songs. 3Racha (Bang Chan, Han, & Changbin) writes, produces, & composes most of them, but there are many songs that were also written by other members of the group. Red Lights was written by both Bang Chan & Hyunjin and Cover Me was written by Hyunjin.
Great songs and great choreography… Domino, Easy, Side Effects, Miroh, Levanter. Dance practices for the first four really highlight their dancing talent
You can watch Mountains, Wolfgang, The Tortoise and the Hare, Ta and Cheese.🥰 These are my favorite songs from them and I'd love to see your reaction to them. TAi The Tortoise and the Hare unfortunately don't have an MV, but it doesn't change the fact that they sound great. Wolfgang doesn't have a music video either, but there is a stage version
I think you’d really enjoy the Maxident album! I feel like it’s often overlooked but the songs and videos are all so fun, theres unit songs, and the concept was super cute so you’ll get some great pcs! Love your reactions and cant wait to see you deep dive more into SKZ!
Thanks for your reaction, i absolutely loved it ❤ Can't wait for more! 😊 And my favorite album right now is the newest one, "Ate", but so far, every album was great, so it's difficult to choose...😅
Thank you for the reaction! My favorite album is MAXIDENT, and I feel like not many people give it the credit it deserves. But, for me, their best album and the one I would recommend you buy and maybe react to is 5-STAR!
the album id suggest to buy would definetly be ATE, its their most recent one and they just popped off with the whole thing id say. its a whole experience and kinda encompasses their vibes well imo
Ahhh! It's so fun watching someone experience these songs for the first time! I just became a Stay right before Ate dropped and it's sooo good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their Albums but besides Ate, Rockstar, Five Star and Maxident are my faves so far. It's kinda like trying to choose a bias in this group, you just cant lol I'd love to see your reaction to Drive, Case 143, Venomous and Youtiful (for another beautiful vocal)
Your reaction to red lights SENT ME ☠️ I had to rewatch it twice 😂 I was on another level when I first watched this video (bang Chan bias, I was wrecked for days). love the vid!❤
Loved the reaction! It is hard to specify which album to pick for you as music tastes vary. I love the "No Easy" album as it has the most songs, including Red Lights. However, my fav is "Oddinary". Three of my fav songs are on it with Venom, Maniac, and Muddy Water. Though the newest album is getting very close with each time I listen to it (ATE album). No matter which album you buy, you will not be disappointed.
5:17 hhhhhhhhhhh I laughed too hard with you Thank you❤❤❤ Omg you should be reaction "taste" And the festival verging performance, I'm sure you'll loving it so much🎉🎉🎉 +twighlit❤ +I like it❤
I SERIOUSLY need you do react to all of Stray Kids. All of it. All they've ever done lol. You are such a joy to watch!! And seriously, you've hardly scratched the surface. Am I crazy or did you have another channel at one point? It seems to me that when I first got into KPop and reactors that I had seen you before. Either way, I am so happy to have discovered you, this was so, so wonderful! My favorite album is 5-Star, but purely because it's such a balance between super hype tracks and calmer ones. "Collision" by HAN is my current fav 'calm' track, while "Hall of Fame" (and it's performances) are my go-to to get ready for work. From that album at least. Honestly, SKZ in no skip in that, they don't write bad songs, but some songs I will skip given my mood at the time. And yes, when it comes to talent, I am OT8, but Lee Know just barely edges out as my ult bias. His personality is just something else lol. Can't wait for the guide!
@@Tristana.Keauna this is actually my first reaction channel! I only started about a month ago 😭 tysm for the kind words 🫶! I definitely have more Stray Kids reacts coming!! 🙏❤️ - thanks for the recommendations too!!!! 😉
@@DylanNextDoorReact in that case - I need a room tour/bio about you lol. Your collection is impressive!!! I only got into KPop about 2020-ish, but once I found SKZ in 2021... yeah. Here I am haha, Still.
I discovered Stray Kids via Felix ands Bang Chan, as they are fellow Aussies (I was like, there are Australian kpop idols?! Gotta check them out!), so they were my biases to start with. But as I got to know all the members more, and heard more of their music, I quickly became ot8. I can’t choose between them for anything in the world. I think ATE is a good album to start with, but you can’t really go wrong, they’re all so good. I bought the last 3 as they were released (5 Star, Rock Star & ATE) and am now working on getting all the others in their back catalogue (No Easy and Oddinary so far).
Album suggestion: If you want to be more up to date on their songs, their current mini album is called 'Ate' with 8 tracks. However, if you want to have a broader spectrum of sounds from them, I would recommend 'Noeasy' (which has Red Lights, and subsequently, the rest of the unit songs). Honestly though, a lot of their albums are worth it to buy and listen through.
Stays always recommending Red Lights to every reactor is the funniest thing ever 😭
I didn’t know what I was in for!!! Lolol
Fr 😭
It's because no one is really ready for Red Lights and we're vicariously reliving our first viewing through the reactors.
It scares me

Just to give a little background on red lights, since it had such an effect on you😂: SKZ made a series (song camp: howl in harmony) in which their 3 main producers each paired up with the other members to create songs together. Bang chan paired with hyunjin to make a "sexy" song (red lights), changbin grouped with felix and lee know to create a "fun summer vibe" (surfin), and han worked with seungmin and I.N to write a sad song/ballad (gone away). All 3 songs have mvs, and the series/bts can be found on their RUclips channel. Red lights is actually called "compulsion" in Korean and refers to how they feel driven to do the things they do. Both hyunjin (whose life is consumed with dancing and art) and chan (who famously can't sleep and brings his laptop everywhere) know what it is to feel hostage to the red lights of the recording booth. I don't think either man knows how to chill. They wrote lyrics that could be interpreted many different ways, however, and the mv makes us ALL blush😂. Most importantly (in my opinion), the Red lights mv is also a huge statement about their open-mindedness. They used one of korea's openly gay directors to create it and made the artistic choice to use just two men (when they could have easily brought in a woman).

I'm a baby STAY, but I'm trying to make up for lost time.
The fact that they are so very very talented - all of them - just makes it better. They all sing. They all dance. They all rap. They all have fun senses of humor, are determined to have fun while changing the world for the better. They all do make the world a better place.

Hyunjin has a way with words. :)
omg yes and maybe blueprint and phobia
OMG your reaction to Red Lights was so funny and so accurate haha. Bang Chan is super talented but he likes to let his members shine. It's nice to see him shine in this song
Sometimes I forget why chan was considered such a legend among jyp trainees and why jyp people came to his house in 2010 after his audition video and songs like red lights remind me. Chan is so talented beyond his producing and songwriting, he’s a vocalist and rapper and as we often forget, a dancer, and it’s always amazing to see him show off in those areas
Haha you’re so cute 😄 the little noise you made at the end of Red Lights, when Hyunjin grabbed Chan‘s neck 😂
I was coming down to the comments to bring that noise up if no one else did. So relatable I felt seen.
Aussie boys coming through! We've all been entranced by Felix and then immediately giggling and kicking our feet at Chan lol you're not alone
If you like Red Lights, you'll like Taste. Also you should check out Slump (first take), Neverending Story, Easy, and Sorry I Love You.
Personally I as an OT8, I feel all members are all rounders but while we usually talk about Han being and ace I think Chan, Changbin and Han are aces with the rapping, vocals, dance, composing music, songwriting and production skills. Han though is just a different genius altogether. ✨ enjoy your reactions!!
I feel like watching Red Lights first kinda puts you in a very specific mood for subsequent videos.
The level of fluster whenever Chan was on screen was delightful :D
Slient cry, youtiful, lovestay, and slump for some beautiful vocals. Domino, hall of fame, complex, and topline for some bangers. Case 143, maniac, venom, and taste to fall in love. I would recommend listening to some of their I guess older music before you watch their newest album because for their newest album they try a new flavor and genre of sort and its fun to hear it after you already know some of their other songs.
I'm not even done with the video, but that was one of my all time favorite reactions to Red Lights ever 😂
It was so honest. It would have been easy to edit, but Dylan left it as is and that's amazing.
Yeah, I'm sure I made a few noises the first time, too. I make different noises now. 🤷

Bangchan is an underrated vocalist and is always hiding his incredible voice in the demo's or in behind the harmonies. Like in Cover Me he sings "Oh no no," when Han is singing in the end. To recommend and album I highly recommend NOEASY or Oddinary album! Great reaction.
this was literally my exact journey to find a bias😭😭
When you said bang chan was bias-wrecking you that made me sooooo happy because it's not usual for reactors to highlight bang chan that much, so ty for that. He's actually my bias but as you said it's actually difficult to choose one in this particular group because they are all so talented, but anyways, tysm for your reaction i loved it
If you want to hear Felix's vocal range listen to "Deep End". Have tissues handy
Be in a good place in your head when you listen to it ❤️💔
the tissue mention... so real
good to see that not only us „old“ Stays need to touch grass after Red Lights 😅
There are so many good Videos to recommend, need a minute to think about it.
Yes it’s really hard to keep one Bias 😂 I am glad you like Stray Kids as much as we do❤
Welcome ❤
no because the gay panic i got from red lights was insane hahaha. I love slaykids ❤
These boys are on another level. The amount of talent they exude is unbelievable. They are incredible 🤩
19:23 that ''no more!'' is so real haha, i really loved ur reaction and im really enjoying ur skz reaction vids :) can i recommend a beautifull song? its 'silent cry' and its a personal fav of mine :D
Mine tooo
You can watch Maniac too.
I started my kpop adventure with this song ❤
Same here!
same!!
Same for me when I became STAY! (tho my kpop journey started with OUTRO: EGO from J-Hope 💜)
Your immediate “yes” to Felix was cute hahaha (same) 9:59
You would probably really enjoy the One Take live versions of Slump and Scars :) maybe you could react to those too ♥️
Stray Kids all have amazing vocalists, I personally think they're all all rounded. You should definitely listen to "Volcano by Han and Seungmin" and "Hold On" also by Han and Seungmin. It's SOOO good. The vocals in these ones are insane here. It's not an album or track but they performed it on the 2 kids show. And I highly recommend you watch those since you love the vocal side.
Side Note: If you like Bangchan he has a song called, "I hate to admit" on the SKZ Replay album. His vocals are top notch.
I loved this because Chan is my bias and he doesn't get a lot of attention
Hate to admit by Bang Chan was really the first time I was like wow this man can sing. He (as a producer and leader) always makes sure his members shine so sometimes it’s easy to forget he’s AMAZING.
it was so cute how you fluster everytime bangchan showed up. the bias wrecker is bias wrecking lol
Since you saw Red Lights, I’d highly recommend the other unit songs from the same album - Surfin’ and Gone Away.
Let’s also say… Mixtape: Oh, Blueprint and Secret Secret.
The gasp and giggle at the end of Red Lights killed me. And your face during the dining table scene... We've all been there, lol. I feel like you probably haven't seen Red Lights, not so much that it is underrated, more that we try to sort of ease reactors into it--but it also depends on the reactor.
More vocal tracks you should definitely check out:
Voices (the m/v is with their former member) beautiful and powerful song/vocals
Levanter
Waiting for Us (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N.)-there is a gorgeous live performance of this you should definitely check out. *they did a sort of unit swap (Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, and Han performed Waiting For Us (which is a crazy hard song to sing--especially when your focus is rap--this excludes Han of course because he is stupid amazing at both rap and singing)) and Chan, I.N., Lee Know, and Seungmin performed the rap track Muddy Water, also definitely worth checking out.
Neverending Story
Gone Away- Han, Seungmin, and I.N. (this was the 2nd of the 3 tracks made during one of their series "Howl in Harmony" that also produced Red Lights and Surfin)
I also want to suggest "Circus" because you brought up the circus at the beginning of Backdoor, and because the 2 songs have a sort of similar, fun, dynamic vibe.
You should try Stray Kids first takes, they are so good.
I love how he had to fully collect himself and calm down after red lights😭😭😭
Is there someone who doesn't? They could make an angel weep with that one! It's so beautiful, well danced, and hits some universal human emotions (expecially if you think of it from the "Complusion" viewpoint).
Should watch them in skzoo suit doing Thunderous, very humorous if you need a laugh 😊
Christmas Evel another fun song
Yes more SKZ reactions! NoEasy (pronounced both No Easy and Noisy) is probably my all time fave album (however that is like picking my favorite SKZ member which is impossible.). NoEasy has both Thunderous and Red Lights (one of three unit songs). It was a clapback album for the criticism of them only creating "noise music". The album really runs through their skillset as rappers, vocalists, performers, lyricists, and producers. Every member has a writing credit on that album. Cheese is one of their most ridiculous (said with love) songs as it quite literally is a "catching haters in 4K" song. Secret Secret and Silent Cry are a one-two punch in the feels. Domino is one of their most iconic b-side performances with the wordplay built in to the choreography. The View is such a warm and bright celebration of their joy in the moments where they can take a moment to stop and appreciate what is around them.
When I first started with SKZ I ran through their discography from their pre-debut Mixtape to present (which at the time was the God's Menu drop) and getting to hear their growth as producers really solidified for me that I wasn't getting out of Stayville. Then getting to know them as people and artists through their other content locked me down for good. I've been a fan of kpop for a long time and have been through the generations, and to this day, Stray Kids have stuck with me in a way no other boy group has yet.
NOEASY is my favorite album too!
16:20 This song along with Twilight and levanter (eng) are my top favorite Caloming songs from stray kids that constantly make me warm and even cry after listening to them
There are a lot of emotions there which i can't even explain
Oh and they have an album out called skz replay... Its all solo and duo and unit songs from their channel released on album fir streaming.... So good to see their unique personalities come through on their solo stuff
Thank you so much for reacting to Stray Kids! It's one of my ult groups besides Trendz (I'm very specific with what I like). If you want to know about a newer group heavily inspired by Skz (all members look up to Stray Kids and want to explore a variety of genders like them) maybe you can give Trendz an opportunity!! I recommend Vagabond, New Dayz, Glow, Who and Villain (this last one is mostly choreography but choreo is one of the most complex ones I've seen plus they're really good singers, the song was written by Jinjin from the boygroup ASTRO)
Also, Bang Chan's voice is absolutely incredible--check out his solo song, "Hate to Admit." It is one of my favorite songs ever.
And as far as albums...my go to is No Easy. It has a lot of tracks and they are all beautiful and/or powerful and fun. This is also the album "Red Lights" and "Thunderous" is on.
really love your reactions, excited for more
Seungmin, the member who first drew me in…recommendation to watch the reality series Kingdom when Seungmin sang IU’s Love Poem with Eunkwang (BTOB) and Jungho (Ateez)..Seungmin was unbelievable in it. Everyone was blown away and so was I. Still one of my favourite performances.
If you want to cry to something definitely would recommend Changbin solo song Streetlight the lyric version 👍🫡
I'm so happy you reacted to Cover Me! 😭 It's one of my favorite song ever, and the lyrics are so beautiful. It was written by Hyunjin, he said he got inspired when one night, he couldn't sleep and was lying on his bed, and looking at the moonlight coming for the window, he wished someone was there, sitting on the window, covering that light for him. When Hyunjin write, it always seems like you're reading/listening to poetry. Hyunjin also wrote Red Light with Bangchan, and if you liked that, I suggest you to listen to Taste (also written and sung by Hyunjin, Felix and Lee Know), it has a similar vibe to Red Light. There's no music video but there's a live performance or lyrics video (i suggest you to check both).
And if you like vocal songs, you have to listen to Waiting for Us (Bangchan, Lee Know, Seungmin, IN - there is also a live one version sung by Changbin, Hyunjin, Han and Felix) and also Star and Raindrops (Seungmin).
Also, you should check both Chk Chk Boom, the main track from their last comeback, and Case 143, which is absolutely funny and crazy, both in terms of music video, coreography and lyrics.
I am so here for being able to watch your stay journey!! I have only been a Stay since March if this year.
I definitely recommend:
1.DLC
2. FNF (This one is very slow and beautiful)
3. Get Lit (The song is such a bop and is so visually pretty)
4. Deep End by Felix ( It doesnt have a mv just a lyric video, but it gives goosebumps and tears every time i hear it)
I hope you continue to share ur Stay journey with us❤
I think No Easy (their album that plays on the word Noisy) would be a good one to purchase and listen to. It's a full album with a lot of variation.
I think over time I've come to associate certain songs with each other. So, like Red Lights goes with Taste (DanceRACHA), Drive (Lee Know and Bang Chan), Charmer, and Connected (Bang Chan). Red Lights, Taste, and Drive are widely accepted as the sexy songs of SKZ.
Cover Me goes along with Levanter, Hero's Soup, Slump, Leave, Secret Secret, Sorry I love you, Mixtape: Oh, Lonely St. and DLMLU in my mind. They're all emotional songs. I can't forget Volcano (Han) and Streetlight (Changbin). The lyrics on Streetlight are heartbreaking.
Thunderous fits with My Pace, Cheese, Topline, Easy, Victory Song, and Double Knot. It's their way of responding to hate they get in clever ways and being confident in themselves.
Back Door is a fun song and makes me thing of Get Cool, ALL IN, Circus, Awkward Silence, Get Lit, JJAM, and TA. The types of songs that you can't help but move with and smile at.
Personally, I would say your next video should end with the song Stray Kids after watching the videos they reference Hellevator (pre-debut), Spread My Wings (pre-debut), District 9 (debut song), Levanter, Miroh, Lonely St, and Blueprint. I know it may be too much for one video, but watching the referenced mvs and then seeing the mv for Stray Kids makes it incredibly meaningful. They've had such an amazing journey and us Stay are so so proud of them for staying true to themselves. They deserve all of the love and praise bc they're all incredibly talented.
Essentially, their entire discography is amazing ever since pre-debut. You can't go wrong with SKZ. If I'm remembering correctly, they were the first Korean group to go on The First Take and now have 4 videos on the channel (I think). That's also an awesome series of videos to watch. Especially Slump, Scars, and Case 143. Felix kills me every time on Case 143 on The First Take.
Also, if you noticed, Changbin has a gorgeous voice on Cover Me which isn't expected of him since he's such an incredible rapper. You can see his vocals in Because (Changbin and Felix) and Lose My Breathe SKZ version live performance.
I'm going to stop rambling now but I'm looking forward to your next video!!
RED LIGHTS IS THE GOAT!! Lmao love your reaction 😂
Next react to these:
Maniac
Chk Chk Boom
Mountains
Jjam
Miroh
Domino ( it doesn't have mv )
Omg they need to react to domino English version
@@-bubwaloo-6612 FR
pls if ur listening to domino watch the dance practice vid :)
All the album's are excellent. I like No Easy, Maxident, Rock Star, Ate and Five Star
The way I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time, this is probably my favourite reaction to SKZ and I can't wait to see more. Please upload more SKZ reactions, I definitely subscribed!
I would love to see your reaction to their new song Chk Chk Boom and to a lyric only video HEYDAY (rap based). But if you want to be floored you should watch the Love Poem cover with Seungmin on the show Kingdom. And to get an idea of all of their pure vocals listen to their live recordings of THE FIRST TAKE on RUclips! 🥰
Also the double take of Chan's outfit during thunderous was all too real. 😂 BangChan wrecks us all.
I loved your reactions!! Your eyes cracked me up watching 😳😂 I also saw your eyes with Felix during cover me.. yes that was him!! you should listen to deep end by Felix!! Be prepared though, it’s a deep song!
Taste is a must listen to, it’s the cousin of red lights.
I can’t name just one album!! It makes me physically unwell, I can’t choose!! Ahhhhh Rockstar, 5-star, Oddinary, Ate, and Maxident are my top and all amazing!!! It’s like choosing a favorite child, you just can’t!
Thank you so much for bringing back memories and feelings I had when I first watched these videos.
Please don't stop reacting to stray kids. I've never been so happy watching reaction videos.
Also, you don't stop every 2 seconds and your reactions are genuine. 😊😊😊
I love you point out that Stray Kids has good control so their dance moves looks smooth but strong. That make a lot of difference when you don't have good body control and not practice enough when other trying to copy it.
I recommend listening to Venom, the song is great and in my opinion the music video is too
I'm a relatively new stay and this was so much fun watching this with you. This was pretty much my exact reactions hearing and seeing this all for the first time. ❤️
Omfg I am so here for this. Taste is definitely one to check out if you liked Red Lights. Its Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix and its like Red Lights on roids, in my opinion anyway, and the performance videos are to die for since the song doesn't have a music video. Bang Chan wrecked me too btw I feel so seen 🤣
Back Door is also some of my fave choreo. As a couple of fun variations to watch they have a video where they pulled another members name and had to do their choreo to the song, and another where they try to do it blindfolded.
With Stray Kids they have :
8 main rappers
8 main dancers
8 main vocalists
And 8 main visuals
When they were at the contest Kingdom, the MC ask who there main vocalists were. Everyone else knew no problem but Stray Kids were very confused and didn’t know who to pick. lol 😂
So glad you love Cover Me. It is my fav Stray Kids song because all the boys (even the rappers) just showed why they are kings. All of them melt your heart with every note.
My first listen Changbin made me cry with his harmony.
Watching Bang Chan attacking you in real time was so precious! 🤣. I'd love to see you react to Christmas Evel and 24 to 25 just as a little festive set.
Thank you for reacting to all theses videos. I‘m a baby stay myself and I love watching people react to the mvs for the first time. I don‘t know every song of them but I really like Case 143 and Twilight ( from their new mini album ATE)
Your face while watching Red Lights was legit me when I saw it lol
5:12 This moment was my breaking point😂😂😂
So real 😭😭😭😭🤣
Same! The genuine breathless 😂
The songs: Chk chk boom, Taste, I like It, Maniac and Gone Away ❤
I recommend. Slump, Winter Falls and Lonely Street. They are all beautiful songs with a lot of feeling.
omg i love your vibe, i can’t wait to watch more of your videos ^^ picking a stray kids album is like choosing a limb to sacrifice oh gosh ㅠㅠ i have too many favourites spread out over too many albums, so i wont be much help there lol but welcome fellow stay~
Oh, sweet summer child.... Red Lights... just wait until you get ahold of Channie's recent solo song Railway. 😳🫣🫠
@@MindyRRD6760 😳👀
12:30 you are so Real for this😂
I love how you got so giggly watching Bangchan & Hyunjin 😂 and how your face softens when you hear Seungmin singing ❤
They are all good at everything. All of them are all rounders
3racha basically write and produce everything, but Cover Me was written by Hyunjin.
Highly recommend watching the matching behind the scenes and SKZ Codes. They are hilarious people.
Love your reaction! Can't wait to see more. I wish the color coded lyrics would mention who wrote the songs. 3Racha (Bang Chan, Han, & Changbin) writes, produces, & composes most of them, but there are many songs that were also written by other members of the group. Red Lights was written by both Bang Chan & Hyunjin and Cover Me was written by Hyunjin.
Great songs and great choreography… Domino, Easy, Side Effects, Miroh, Levanter. Dance practices for the first four really highlight their dancing talent
I love all songs of talanted, fenomenal, unique Stray Kids, Red lights is something especial, very very sensual 🔥
You really need to see and listen them on the First take show. It’s amazing
You can watch Mountains, Wolfgang, The Tortoise and the Hare, Ta and Cheese.🥰
These are my favorite songs from them and I'd love to see your reaction to them.
TAi The Tortoise and the Hare unfortunately don't have an MV, but it doesn't change the fact that they sound great.
Wolfgang doesn't have a music video either, but there is a stage version
TA does have a performance video! Fyi
5 star is my favorite album so I highly recommend
I believe that there is a version of Red lights live that has all 8 members. It's jaw dropping!!!
You really need to listen to JJAM and Deep end, I really feel like you would love it so much
You blushing is the most adorable and relatable.
YEYYY, I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION TO STRAY KIDS!! 😭💛
I think you’d really enjoy the Maxident album! I feel like it’s often overlooked but the songs and videos are all so fun, theres unit songs, and the concept was super cute so you’ll get some great pcs!
Love your reactions and cant wait to see you deep dive more into SKZ!
Thanks for your reaction, i absolutely loved it ❤ Can't wait for more! 😊 And my favorite album right now is the newest one, "Ate", but so far, every album was great, so it's difficult to choose...😅
Thank you for the reaction! My favorite album is MAXIDENT, and I feel like not many people give it the credit it deserves. But, for me, their best album and the one I would recommend you buy and maybe react to is 5-STAR!
the album id suggest to buy would definetly be ATE, its their most recent one and they just popped off with the whole thing id say. its a whole experience and kinda encompasses their vibes well imo
5 star album was my favourite but oddinary is amazing too!
For some fun songs, I recommend cheese, circus, N/S, and get lit.
N/S is underrated haha it's such a mood
Ahhh! It's so fun watching someone experience these songs for the first time! I just became a Stay right before Ate dropped and it's sooo good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their Albums but besides Ate, Rockstar, Five Star and Maxident are my faves so far. It's kinda like trying to choose a bias in this group, you just cant lol
I'd love to see your reaction to Drive, Case 143, Venomous and Youtiful (for another beautiful vocal)
Your reaction to red lights SENT ME ☠️ I had to rewatch it twice 😂 I was on another level when I first watched this video (bang Chan bias, I was wrecked for days).
love the vid!❤
Loved the reaction! It is hard to specify which album to pick for you as music tastes vary. I love the "No Easy" album as it has the most songs, including Red Lights. However, my fav is "Oddinary". Three of my fav songs are on it with Venom, Maniac, and Muddy Water. Though the newest album is getting very close with each time I listen to it (ATE album). No matter which album you buy, you will not be disappointed.
5:17 hhhhhhhhhhh
I laughed too hard with you
Thank you❤❤❤
Omg you should be reaction "taste" And the festival verging performance, I'm sure you'll loving it so much🎉🎉🎉
+twighlit❤
+I like it❤
You need to react to Hyunjin's solo dance to the song "Play with Fire"
I SERIOUSLY need you do react to all of Stray Kids. All of it. All they've ever done lol. You are such a joy to watch!! And seriously, you've hardly scratched the surface. Am I crazy or did you have another channel at one point? It seems to me that when I first got into KPop and reactors that I had seen you before. Either way, I am so happy to have discovered you, this was so, so wonderful!
My favorite album is 5-Star, but purely because it's such a balance between super hype tracks and calmer ones. "Collision" by HAN is my current fav 'calm' track, while "Hall of Fame" (and it's performances) are my go-to to get ready for work. From that album at least. Honestly, SKZ in no skip in that, they don't write bad songs, but some songs I will skip given my mood at the time.
And yes, when it comes to talent, I am OT8, but Lee Know just barely edges out as my ult bias. His personality is just something else lol. Can't wait for the guide!
@@Tristana.Keauna this is actually my first reaction channel! I only started about a month ago 😭 tysm for the kind words 🫶! I definitely have more Stray Kids reacts coming!! 🙏❤️ - thanks for the recommendations too!!!! 😉
@@DylanNextDoorReact in that case - I need a room tour/bio about you lol. Your collection is impressive!!! I only got into KPop about 2020-ish, but once I found SKZ in 2021... yeah. Here I am haha, Still.
I discovered Stray Kids via Felix ands Bang Chan, as they are fellow Aussies (I was like, there are Australian kpop idols?! Gotta check them out!), so they were my biases to start with. But as I got to know all the members more, and heard more of their music, I quickly became ot8. I can’t choose between them for anything in the world.
I think ATE is a good album to start with, but you can’t really go wrong, they’re all so good. I bought the last 3 as they were released (5 Star, Rock Star & ATE) and am now working on getting all the others in their back catalogue (No Easy and Oddinary so far).
Loooove your giggly moments especially during the Redlights reaction. Thank you for checking out SKZ. ❤
As far as albums go, the most recent one, "Ate", is phenomenal, earlier than that, Oddinary... I love that album
For albums to buy based on what you’ve listened to so far I think noeasy, rockstar, or 5 star would be the best bets!
Album suggestion:
If you want to be more up to date on their songs, their current mini album is called 'Ate' with 8 tracks.
However, if you want to have a broader spectrum of sounds from them, I would recommend 'Noeasy' (which has Red Lights, and subsequently, the rest of the unit songs).
Honestly though, a lot of their albums are worth it to buy and listen through.
i just love how changbin is so good at rapping, and han is so talented and has a beautifull voice
Your reaction to the last few seconds of Red Lights was the most relatable thing ever.
