@@tbhnothanksbro Um, yes, I know that. I- I'm a Stay. But Woojin doesn't need to be talked about because he's no longer apart of Skz which is why I made sure to tell them their 8, not 9. OT8🤞
3RACHA is producing team of straykids. And their songs credits is mind blowing. BANGCHAN credited of 161 songs, CHANGBIN 139 and HAN 135 songs. They produce almost all of straykids songs & makes skz as leader of 4th gen
The guy who rapped the english verse (who you compared to a uk rapper) is called bang chan. He is the leader of stray kids. He is a main producer, vocalist, sub rapper, and writes lyrics. He basically does everything you could imagine when contributing to the group/groups music. It's quite funny that u said he reminded you of a UK rapper, because hes actually australian. 3RACHA is a subunit in stray kids. They were the first three members and now they have credits of producing and writing on almost all of stray kids songs. Stray kids has 8 (formerly 9, but a member left) members and consists of three subunits: 3RACHA (Bang chan, Changbin, and Han), Danceracha (Felix, Hyunjin, and Lee Know), and Vocalracha (I.N and Seungmin). Even though they have subunits, that does not mean anything because all the members can dance, rap, and sing extremely well. All the members are korean except for Bang chan and Felix; they are both Australian. Some song recommendations I would give are "Super Bowl" (entirely english song), "Heyday", "FREEZE", "Get Lit", "TOPLINE", and "DOMINO". Those are some of my favorite songs from stray kids and if you are into heavy rap then you would probably like them. If you are into more melodic stuff I would definitely check out "Scars", "Spread my Wings", "Hellevator", or "TASTE". Although I personally think all of Stray Kids discography is amazing. Hope this helped and I will look forward to your future Stray Kids reactions!!
Bang Chan is Australian so that’s why his English is better and also fun fact, stray kids are weebs and aren’t ashamed to flex that when they can;) they sprinkle in references to different animes every now and then
Hey, 3racha is producing team of Stray kids, SKZ have currently 8 members. 3RACHA has been also sort of predebut hip hop oriented unit. Bang Chan personaly picked other members of SKZ. Also Racha is kind of joke btw fandom, so Stays (fans) started to call dancers danceracha, vocalists vocalracha, even their pets are petracha. SKZ members are using it as well. Rapline in SKZ are in last releases mostly Han, Changbin, Hyunjin and Felix. Stays love Bangchan rapping unfortunately he blesses us with it so little. But we are not mad ať him because his singing skills are top tier.
the reason bangchan's english rap is so good is because he grew up in australia! he was born in south korea but moved to australia when he was young, so he grew up speaking both english and korean. when he has the time between busy schedules he goes live on youtube and will speak in both english and korean to fans as well as listening to other artists music. and theres 8 members in straykids, not 9. a member left in 2019 and since then it has always been 8, but google hasnt updated it lol.
thanks for the reaction! There are 8 members in the group, each one is unique and talented in their own way. 3racha their production unit for all the band's songs!!
SOOOOOOO I saw that EVERYONE explained a lot to you already! LOL There are 5 rappers actually in the group (but with the subunits there are 3Racha- Chan, Changbin, and Han, there's DanceRach- Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix, and there's vocalRach- Seungmin and I.N-----> BUT they can all sing, rap and dance, which is freaking insane!), and there are 8 members (they started as 9). 3Racha were the beginning of the group, and they started as 3Racha when they were around 17, that's why Chan, the English rapper (who is also a vocalist) (He's Australian Korean by the way and Felix from the group is also Australian Korean, both moved to Korea to become artists/Idols), says that they're doing this since 17. Han and Changbin, the other 2 in 3Racha, can also sing, and Han's voice is very diverse too and can go to really high notes when he sings, one of the 3 main vocalists too. And I'm sure you've been told, but they are also the producing team in Stray Kids, they write, produce, compose and arrange their own music, which is very uncommon in the kpop industry...most of the other groups have some other companies/songwriters that create and control their sound, but they create everything themselves. WELCOME to the STAY (fandom name) FAMILY! I loved your reaction, and especially the attention to the lyrics :D If you react to more Stray Kids then I'm here to STAY! :D
There is 3 sub units in stray kids : 3racha is the producing unit containing bang chan and han jisung and seo changbin ,and danceracha is the dancing unit containing lee know and hyunjin and felix and ,the last unit is vocalracha is seungmin and i.n (yang jongin) the youngest members . Stray kids do sometimes a unit songs but 3racha deputed as the main producing unit in skz (short for stray kids) well not just 3racha can rap all of them can and also sing in sweet vocals too.😊 And for bang chan’s part well he’s Australian so you can hear his accent while doing his verse Also felix the one with deep voice is australian too If you want more of 3racha or other songs contains the rappers check (heyday - muddy water - we go ) And for the all members you need to check (the tortoise and the hare ot 8 - maze of memories ot 8 ) those two songs have two versions one with 9 members and one with 8 Stray kids used to be 9 but now they’re just 8 members Loved your reaction 🫶🏽
i really enjoyed the video, it's really nice seeing people actually try to look further in the meaning of the songs (even if the translations aren't exact) and the video was all around pretty enjoyable! since a lot of people have already mentioned how they fit into stray kids i'll go into a bit more depth for 3racha's role and history. 3racha are actually a subunit that predates stray kids (skz debuted in march of 2018 and the first 3racha song released on their youtube dates back to 1st february 2017) and were somewhat the building blocks to stray kids. because of this, all their first songs are still on youtube and soundcloud and it definitely is worth it to check it out. some of those songs are still to this day staples in the fandom (e.g. "Matroyshka", "Scene Stealers", "Runner's High", "Double Knot" and the all mighty "Wow"). They also have songs that heavily influenced skz songs down the line; the most obvious would be "hoodie season" who was redone to fit all the members but remained practically the same. ultimately, they kind of were the building blocks for skz as Bang Chan was asked to make a group and naturally he turned to Han and Changbin to start it so we really do owe them a lot. especially since they are the masterminds behind practically all of skz's enormous discography; all three of them are in komca's (korean music copyright association) top 30 most credited idols (with chan and changbin both in the top 20) and are some of the youngest and most recently debuted on the list. it's just always nice to see 3racha only unit songs they make now that they have so much more experience and more resources. their older work is really good but they have improved a lot as well while not losing any passion so seeing where they are now is so heartwarming. not to mention that those unit songs allow them to explore genres they don't normally in full group songs hence the reason 3racha exists in the first place!
Bang Chan- Stray Kids' leader, is a big grime and drill fan. He actually shouted out Skepta in a rap a few years ago when they just started and Skepta tweeted about it. Stray Kids don't really have set positions anymore, their song Muddy Water is sort of done by the rap line (Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, Felix) but that's more because Bang Chan tends to sing a bit more in their 8-member songs. 3racha is the producing rap unit Bang Chan set up before forming Stray Kids (he picked all the members which is very unusual for kpop), so Bang Chan tends to rap more on 3racha songs. Because Stray Kids are self-produced they make a lot of music, and they often do unit tracks where a few members will get together in different combinations and write songs. Their lyricism is always pretty deep so in the future it might be worth listening through for the sound and again for the lyrics. But if you want a full English song Super Bowl on their last album is entirely in English. They also just released Topline, which was a collab with another Korean rapper called Tiger JK who is known as the 'father of Korean hiphop', who might be worth checking out.
I agree that Stray Kids have the strongest rap line, if you’re looking for more kpop rap, I recommend Bobby from iKon, Mino from Winner, Suga from BTS, Zico from Block B, G Dragon from Big Bang, Soyeon from (G) Idle
Loved your reaction! 3racha are the producing unit for Stray Kids and were active before Stray Kids debuted. Bang Chan is Australian and takes inspo from everywhere. I would love to hear you guys react to more 3racha! I would especially recommend P.A.C.E - takes inspo from Skepta (Bang Chan even mentions him in his verse). If you want to hear all of Stray Kids rapping (ot8) i would recommend Maze of Memories or Tortise and the Hare. Stray Kids are a very rap heavy group although they can do everything even ballads.
Hi guys, if you are going to continue with K-pop reactions (and especially rappers of each group) it is good to listen through once, then watch again and read the lyrics - that way you don't break the flow. I'm English (UK) and the more you do it, you get really good at watching an MV and reading at the same time, it is a skill lmao! There are 8 guys in Stray Kids.
it's always very fascinating to listen to people who are passionate about a subject discuss it in a context of kpop. 3racha are definitely the best rappers in current (4th) generation of kpop and I'm not even a proper stan, my ults (Ateez) have amazing rappers on their own! Enjoyed your reaction a lot!
Stray kids actually are 8 members. 3racha is just the unit that produces their music and there are more people that can rap in stray kids, even though 3racha is also described as the Main rap unit
There’s 8 members in stray kids and all of them can sing, dance and rap. There is 3 sub units -3Racha, Danceracha, Vocalracha. 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) is the producing unit of the group, they produce all of Stray kids’ music, they’ve were together before stray kids were fully formed. Danceracha (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix) they’re the main dancers of the group, they often help with choreography. Vocalracha (Seungmin, I.N) they’re the main vocalists of the group. The members are: Bang Chan - ‘97, leader of the group, producer, rapper, singer, dancer. He is friends with so many people in the Kpop industry 😂 He also grew up in Australia so that’s why he had a good voice for UK drill. Lee Know - ‘98, dancer, rapper, singer. He has a lot of input when it comes to the dancing side of it, there’s a few videos where he’s monitoring/teaching the others the dance. He also started out as a BTS back up dancer! Changbin - ‘99, producer, rapper, dancer, singer. He mainly raps, it’s very easy to hear his voice as it’s in quite a dark/heavier style, however he’s a very talented singer with a very soft/sweet sounding voice. Hyunjin - ‘00, dancer, rapper, singer. His dancing is so mesmerising, I recommend the “Artist of the Month” dance that he did as it really shows off how talented he is. Han - ‘00, producer, rapper, singer, dancer. Han is an ‘all rounder’ he is so talented at everything he does from fast raps to belting out high notes. His freestyle rapping skills are unmatched! Felix - ‘00, dancer, rapper, singer. He’s the one with the deep voice that you hear in Gods Menu, his voice is amazing the way he can go so deep but he can also hit really high notes. He has a song called Deep End which you get to hear the range of his voice. He’s also from Australia! Seungmin - ‘00, singer, dancer, (can rap but doesn’t often). They recently had a fan meet which is pretty much a slightly more interactive concert and they performed a song called Muddy Water which is meant for the main rappers of the group however they switched songs so the rappers got the soft vocal song and the singers got the rap heavy song. He shows off his range there! I.N - ‘01, maknae (youngest), singer, dancer, (like Seungmin, can also rap but doesn’t often). He was also in the team that did Muddy Water and he’s rapped on other occasions. His singing voice is so melodic and unique I love it! Hope that helped slightly, if you want to get to know the members then you could always watch a guide. There is more fun short ones which give you a brief overview of the members but there is also longer ones which really help you to get to know them. A good one would be by ‘TeaNoSuga’ (the most recent one), don’t worry about the length of the video Stays (Skz fandom) really don’t mind. Great reaction as always! 😊
Sometimes Korean sayings can be difficult to translate to english, so sometimes when it comes to rap songs like this a lot of the time the true meaning of the lyric or the cleverness of the flow can get lost a little which is why i personally always listen to a new kpop song blind and then go in to look at the lyrics so that i can enjoy the song for how it makes me feel through the beat and then try and understand what they are saying with an open mind. Sometimes it helps if the translation video you are watching is providing context to what certain sayings mean when translated. Excellent reaction overall guys, stray kids / 3racha are definitely kpop beasts, 4th generation kpop industry leaders who are heavily respected in the field. I’d say the top players in 4th gen rn for boy groups are TXT ATEEZ and Stray Kids if you looking for other groups to check out.
Bang Chans Aussie grown dudes, hence the English terminology. 8 members one left years ago but try Muddy Water, it has their rap line minus Bang Chan, has the other Aussie member in it and I just really dig the flow and instrumental in the song. Or try Hey Day for more 3racha content. Stray kids has a a decent amount of songs with good rap in it. Bang chan mainly raps in English, Changbin has great pronunciation and cadence. Han is more melodic versatile. Also as a soloist K-rapper I suggest Huh! His song Lit! Got me into his stuff.
Thanks for your reaction. Stray Kids have 8 members, there were 9 but one left, for personal reasons, in 2019. You should try listening to Topline from their latest album. It’s brilliant.
There are 8. They lost one several years ago.....who left to be a solo artist. After you've read the lyrics....then you just listen to it for it's greatness after that. Changbin (the middle one) is one of the fastest rappers in Kpop followed closely behind by Han (guy on the right). The guy on the left BangChan is Australian which is why he raps mostly in English.
These lyrics videos usually tried to put video up as fast as they can. Let me tell you that there's this RUclipsr who made a 45 minute video to explain Han's 3 minute song's lyrics. What I'm trying to say is 3racha lyricism is top tier, sometimes it lost in translation
Great reaction!! You guys seem really genuine so I hope you can react to more stray kids. This unit is technically the producing sub-unit of Stray Kids. As for rappers, I would say there are 5 rappers; Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, Felix, and BangChan. Actually, in most of their music, Hyunjin and Felix rap more than BangChan but only because BangChan also has heavenly vocals and is a very selfless producer who gives his members more lines than himself in most songs. I recommend Topline, Venom, Easy, and Double Knot to see the whole group in a more hip-hop/rap context.
woah you did my recommendation?? thank you so much😭 i'm glad you like it! Stray Kids actually have a lot more great rap songs and i want to recommend some: - Heyday (it also by 3racha - Bangchan, Changbin, dan Han) - Muddy Water (by Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix) - Maze of Memories (by all of the members, 8 of them) This one is kinda unique, it has so much tempo changes (idk exactly what its called) that might be blows your mind lol, but if you wanna react to it please react to the 2021 ver (the 8 members version) thank you🥰
1:54 its called 3racha because THEY are 3racha, the 3 producers of stray kids since the group is self produced. They are also the main rappers, they can also do vocals! Especially Han and Bang Chan. Chan is the leader
I think the uk sort of style that this is in might be inspired by a guy (I think his name is Teddy Grey?) who is a uk rapper who also likes stray kids as I think bang chan mentioned him on a live once and mentioned being inspired by him
3racha are the main rap unit and producers...there also dance racha (the dance unit 3 membrts) and vocal racha ( the vocal unit 2 members)....all stray kids is 8 members
All stray kids members can rap sing and dance really well. 3racha is the producer subunit rather than the rap unit although prior to stray kids debut they were a rap group. The members that you’ll typically hear rapping on a skz song are Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix. Lee Know and Bang Chan do as well but it’s much less often. IN and Seungmin only rap on a couple tracks. For more skz rap I’d recommend topline, maze of memories (ot8), and tortoise and the hare.
Omg if you liked this you have to see TOPLINE ft tiger jk it’s literally one of the best songs in their discography i love it a lot and I thing you guys will like it too
There is actually 8 members in Stray kids, the ninth one(woojin)left the group a while back due to personal reasons. 3RACHA are the producing unit of Stray kids, and are part of the 'rap line' but really it's difficult to separate the members into vocal, dance and rap units officially, due to their multitalentedness.
there are 4 rappers in straykids.. but 3racha is producing unit not rapper line..Bangchan the leader is in 3racha but not in rapper line.. he is in vocal line.. but he sure can rap though..everyone actually can so they all allrounder group.. but u can say that 3racha is the legendary mastermind of straykids..
It is interesting how you started to decifer lyrics from the get go, but I think this translation isn't the best out there, and actually its hard to translate Han and Changbin verses into english and not loose their clever word play. Also, the question about different languages? I think korean and japanese is the most interesting ones for rhymes and wordplay because of syllables structure.
Thanks for sharing your journey into SKZ. When you get a chance, check out a guide for SKZ which can be a good way to learn about both the group personalities and how they came to exist. I prefer "STRAY KIDS - A World Domination Documentary [ENG guide]" by Icetye (ruclips.net/video/2uVUVPfQ4R8/видео.html). Its very well made but a little long but worth taking a look at. It can be broken up into sections if you decide to react to it. Believe it or not, Stays will join in to watch just about anything on the Kidz.
Google messed up. 4 years and it still showed nine members? 😭 Edit: might i suggest giving it two listens? Just so you can enjoy the music without having to worry too much about the lyrics
you are almost rightt in the meaning of 3racha, it is because they are 3 but “racha” its like the spanish word “racha de viento” like a very strong wind

Felix - ‘00, dancer, rapper, singer. He’s the one with the deep voice that you hear in Gods Menu, his voice is amazing the way he can go so deep but he can also hit really high notes. He has a song called Deep End which you get to hear the range of his voice. He’s also from Australia!
Seungmin - ‘00, singer, dancer, (can rap but doesn’t often). They recently had a fan meet which is pretty much a slightly more interactive concert and they performed a song called Muddy Water which is meant for the main rappers of the group however they switched songs so the rappers got the soft vocal song and the singers got the rap heavy song. He shows off his range there!
I.N - ‘01, maknae (youngest), singer, dancer, (like Seungmin, can also rap but doesn’t often). He was also in the team that did Muddy Water and he’s rapped on other occasions. His singing voice is so melodic and unique I love it!
Hope that helped slightly, if you want to get to know the members then you could always watch a guide. There is more fun short ones which give you a brief overview of the members but there is also longer ones which really help you to get to know them. A good one would be by ‘TeaNoSuga’ (the most recent one), don’t worry about the length of the video Stays (Skz fandom) really don’t mind.
Great reaction as always! 😊
9:55 actually bangchan is australian so he says "shivs" because of where hes from. but besides that, the song is definitely inspired from uk drill
Sometimes Korean sayings can be difficult to translate to english, so sometimes when it comes to rap songs like this a lot of the time the true meaning of the lyric or the cleverness of the flow can get lost a little which is why i personally always listen to a new kpop song blind and then go in to look at the lyrics so that i can enjoy the song for how it makes me feel through the beat and then try and understand what they are saying with an open mind. Sometimes it helps if the translation video you are watching is providing context to what certain sayings mean when translated. Excellent reaction overall guys, stray kids / 3racha are definitely kpop beasts, 4th generation kpop industry leaders who are heavily respected in the field. I’d say the top players in 4th gen rn for boy groups are TXT ATEEZ and Stray Kids if you looking for other groups to check out.
Bang Chans Aussie grown dudes, hence the English terminology.
8 members one left years ago
but try Muddy Water, it has their rap line minus Bang Chan, has the other Aussie member in it and I just really dig the flow and instrumental in the song.
Or try Hey Day for more 3racha content.
Stray kids has a a decent amount of songs with good rap in it. Bang chan mainly raps in English, Changbin has great pronunciation and cadence. Han is more melodic versatile.
Also as a soloist K-rapper I suggest Huh! His song Lit! Got me into his stuff.
Love the reaction! Appreciate how you guys focus on the lyrics. Most ppl just skip over them
Thank you 😊
Thanks for your reaction. Stray Kids have 8 members, there were 9 but one left, for personal reasons, in 2019. You should try listening to Topline from their latest album. It’s brilliant.
The amount of references are insane. They deffo did their research beforehand. 3racha always comes through with the tunes
There are 8. They lost one several years ago.....who left to be a solo artist. After you've read the lyrics....then you just listen to it for it's greatness after that. Changbin (the middle one) is one of the fastest rappers in Kpop followed closely behind by Han (guy on the right). The guy on the left BangChan is Australian which is why he raps mostly in English.
These lyrics videos usually tried to put video up as fast as they can.
Let me tell you that there's this RUclipsr who made a 45 minute video to explain Han's 3 minute song's lyrics.
What I'm trying to say is 3racha lyricism is top tier, sometimes it lost in translation
Great reaction!! You guys seem really genuine so I hope you can react to more stray kids.
This unit is technically the producing sub-unit of Stray Kids. As for rappers, I would say there are 5 rappers; Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, Felix, and BangChan. Actually, in most of their music, Hyunjin and Felix rap more than BangChan but only because BangChan also has heavenly vocals and is a very selfless producer who gives his members more lines than himself in most songs.
I recommend Topline, Venom, Easy, and Double Knot to see the whole group in a more hip-hop/rap context.
I love 3racha so much! They are so talented! Stray kids is talent itself 🔥
woah you did my recommendation?? thank you so much😭 i'm glad you like it!
Stray Kids actually have a lot more great rap songs and i want to recommend some:
- Heyday (it also by 3racha - Bangchan, Changbin, dan Han)
- Muddy Water (by Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix)
- Maze of Memories (by all of the members, 8 of them) This one is kinda unique, it has so much tempo changes (idk exactly what its called) that might be blows your mind lol, but if you wanna react to it please react to the 2021 ver (the 8 members version) thank you🥰
Of course we did! 😊 Added your other suggestions to our list of songs to react to!
@@RideAndRhyme hope you’ll like it as well!!😆
1:54 its called 3racha because THEY are 3racha, the 3 producers of stray kids since the group is self produced. They are also the main rappers, they can also do vocals! Especially Han and Bang Chan. Chan is the leader
I think the uk sort of style that this is in might be inspired by a guy (I think his name is Teddy Grey?) who is a uk rapper who also likes stray kids as I think bang chan mentioned him on a live once and mentioned being inspired by him
Keep this in mind :
They produce their own music and the music for skz (their group ) aswell so they are a self made group
3racha are the main rap unit and producers...there also dance racha (the dance unit 3 membrts) and vocal racha ( the vocal unit 2 members)....all stray kids is 8 members
All stray kids members can rap sing and dance really well. 3racha is the producer subunit rather than the rap unit although prior to stray kids debut they were a rap group. The members that you’ll typically hear rapping on a skz song are Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix. Lee Know and Bang Chan do as well but it’s much less often. IN and Seungmin only rap on a couple tracks. For more skz rap I’d recommend topline, maze of memories (ot8), and tortoise and the hare.
3racha is the producing team of skz
Omg if you liked this you have to see TOPLINE ft tiger jk it’s literally one of the best songs in their discography i love it a lot and I thing you guys will like it too
Fyi Stray Kids will have a set on lollapalooza paris on July 21
11:42 theres 8 members. Number nine left in 2019.
No way, why did he leave?
@@RideAndRhyme No one really knows, JYPE told us that it was due to some personal reasons.
There is actually 8 members in Stray kids, the ninth one(woojin)left the group a while back due to personal reasons.
3RACHA are the producing unit of Stray kids, and are part of the 'rap line' but really it's difficult to separate the members into vocal, dance and rap units officially, due to their multitalentedness.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
there are 4 rappers in straykids.. but 3racha is producing unit not rapper line..Bangchan the leader is in 3racha but not in rapper line.. he is in vocal line.. but he sure can rap though..everyone actually can so they all allrounder group.. but u can say that 3racha is the legendary mastermind of straykids..
Stray Kids 8 singers, 8 rappers, 8 singers. They can do it all
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
Please do Justhis killing verse, he's a rapper!!!
It is interesting how you started to decifer lyrics from the get go, but I think this translation isn't the best out there, and actually its hard to translate Han and Changbin verses into english and not loose their clever word play. Also, the question about different languages? I think korean and japanese is the most interesting ones for rhymes and wordplay because of syllables structure.
Yeah do agree that a lot of the clever word play can get lost in translation so what we react to is only the surface
I don't know if u know but bangchan is actually Australian-Korean, that's why his English is good :)
The thing to note here is the translation isn’t necessarily accurate cause it’s a different language.
Thanks for sharing your journey into SKZ. When you get a chance, check out a guide for SKZ which can be a good way to learn about both the group personalities and how they came to exist. I prefer "STRAY KIDS - A World Domination Documentary [ENG guide]" by Icetye (ruclips.net/video/2uVUVPfQ4R8/видео.html). Its very well made but a little long but worth taking a look at. It can be broken up into sections if you decide to react to it. Believe it or not, Stays will join in to watch just about anything on the Kidz.
Google messed up. 4 years and it still showed nine members? 😭
Edit: might i suggest giving it two listens? Just so you can enjoy the music without having to worry too much about the lyrics
you are almost rightt in the meaning of 3racha, it is because they are 3 but “racha” its like the spanish word “racha de viento” like a very strong wind
Ohhh I like that!
10:10 사실 맞는말이긴 한데 가운데 있는 창빈이 쓰리라차소스를 좋아해서 지었답니다. 투리라차도 있어요
they have 8 members :)
they're 8 members
