Also... in case you didn't know... Stray Kids just dropped a 2 disk album called SKZ-Replay. It has some songs that were only here on RUclips plus new songs. Each of the boys has a solo track. They also release the "Fam" Korean version MV this morning, too!
So one thing you will notice as you listen to more Stray Kids songs, all but 1 or 2 songs in their discography is gender neutral. They do this so the listener can relate to it however they see fit. According to both Chan and Hyunjin, Red Lights is about their compulsion to continue working when they know they shouldn't. Hence the direct English translation of the Korean title '강박' (pronounced gang bak) being compulsion, obsession. A lot of people have pointed out that the red lights in 'all i see is red lights' could be talking about the red light that can be seen in a recording booth when someone is recording. If you want to hear more about the song, I recommend watching the Howl in Harmony series on their RUclips channel. Red Lights is one of 3 unit songs that was released on their album NOEASY last year. You don't have to react to it if you don't want to, but its the process all 3 subunits went through when making their songs last summer. Anyway, I love your reactions and how you seem to pick up on the message they were going for during the first listen. I can't wait to see what song you react to next ❤
Yay you did Red Lights! Now it's time for Drive and Taste :D For Red Lights and Drive they always argue about who wrote the lyrics and Bang Chan always says that it wasn't him :D It's funny to watch them react to this stuff, Bang Chan always gets all flustered and Hyunjin just enjoys it and has a kinda more professional view on it So Red Lights is about obsession, in their case it's about obsession with work because both of them are pretty much workaholics. The Red Lights being the recording light etc. BUT they were really going for this double meaning and wanted to leave it open for interpretation, in the Making of of the MV they talked about how they wanted it to be "hard sexy" and that they wanted to make something more mature :) There's also a video on youtube where you can watch them coming up with the song and they talk a bit more about it, it was part of a project they did.
I really like how you always interpret things and I think you are really good at it 😊 Yes with Kingdom performances and Award Show performances it's always a bit tricky on RUclips, many reactors mirror the video in their reaction and/or put some text over it and upload the normal reaction on Patreon :) But they are really worth it!
When it comes to songs like this never trust Chan. I mean how can u trust someone who said stays "drive" is about driving motor cycles lol. Skz just released Skz-Replay & there is a song called "CONNECTED" by Bang Chan solo. Hope u react to it as well
I’m so glad you decided to react to this! ♥️✨ you also pronounce Hyunjin as H-yuhn-jin. (Don’t know if that helped)😭 A little analysis of Stays is that Bangchan and Hyunjin are the two in the group who are known to stay up all night constantly working on their songs and choreo. “I’m staying up all night again.” I feel “The moment when I close my eyes, all I see is red lights” means they’re in the studio, working so much that the red recording light is all they know. “I cannot breathe without you being right by my side. I’ll die.” They basically feel as if their work as idols/composers is apart of them. They can’t live without it. Basically an unhealthy addiction they can’t get away from because they love it so much. Lastly, Chan and Hyunjin tried to portray the addiction as a human. So Hyunjin played the member with the work addiction, while Bangchan played the addiction itself. So when Hyunjin’s shadow overlapped Chan being held in a throat hold, that meant they are one. The addiction and the addict.
I was looking forward to this reaction, it's always so funny to see people's expressions when they see this MV for the first time hahahaha. If you want and have time, it would be nice if you listen to like the counterparts of that song, they are "surfin"(Changbin,Felix and Lee Know) and "Gone away"(IN, Han and Seungmin). They are very good songs and have a completely different theme. I think it would be a good choice since "Thunderous" and "Red lights" are from the same album as the next two, the NOEASY album. Anyway any song is very good to listen to. Keep it up, it's true you can brighten up the day with your videos👍🏻💪🏻
Thank you for your reaction to Red lights 🥰😘 I love it when people go blind into this song 😂😁😜 their expressions are priceless!! Now you have to react to Drive and Taste to complete the perfect trio 😅 Fun fact: Hyunjin said in a Vlive that they had to turn down the lyrics a little bit because they came out stronger than this version 😬😳😵💫 and I´m glad bc what´s the point to loose so many stays in one song?? Right??
Hyunjin is a phenomenal performer and he is a fantastic painter as well. Kingdom doesn't get blocked if you don't play it without breaks or if you put something on the screen to partially block it from view. Would love to see your reactions to their performances starting with "Road to Kingdom" of Miroh with all 8 of them. Unfortunately for reasons I won't go into, they had to do the rest of the competition without Hyunjin.
You should react to their OT8 version when the whole group performed it live at one of their concerts. Chan has already explained this song: he said it’s not about actual people and relationships with them. It’s about the obsession with working alot. Red lights come from the color of the lights when working in the recording studio.
You asked about pronouncing Hyunjin's name. The romanization is pretty accurate. It basically rhymes with, say, "bun jin" -- the "u" has a sound close to the one in "bun." (It's not exact. Technically it's more of an "eo," but that makes things even harder to understand when explaining like this.) It's basically the _ə_ or _ä_ sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet. And the "Hy" part is the same as how you'd pronounce the first part of the name Hugo, literally just sticking an _H_ in front of the _Y_ sound and pronouncing them together. This is a good "textbook" kind of example: ruclips.net/video/BpJ1m4m60Pg/видео.html. Here's him saying it himself (just check in the first two seconds): ruclips.net/video/TDP8nbWEMP4/видео.html. Here's all eight of them introducing themselves on ASC (1:04 to 1:58), which gives a good, clear example of each name: ruclips.net/video/e2EtufcQH-0/видео.html.

It's about fighting your enter demons. Hyunjin is fighting his enter demons.

That's such an incredible way to make a double meaning song! It's beautiful done!

Hyunjin is pronounced like [ Hyon-Jin ]
hyunjin would sound something like Hee-un-gin
gin like the alcohol
Ahhh! Thanks! X
