2024 GUIDE TO STRAY KIDS Reaction

[@ednawall6848]

Bang Chan - humble, kind, self-sacrificing Lee Know - pretends not to care but cares the most, no filter Changbin - buff softie, mental support member Hyunjin - sensitive artist, wants to be know for more than his looks Han - creative storyteller, hyper squirrel Felix - gentle soul, radiates happiness Seungmin - dry menace, quietly caring I.N - spoiled baby but more mature than the rest, doubts himself

[@kjreacts7715]

Thank you for this Edna! It helps me to know more about them. Haha honestly I keep getting mixed up with BangChan and Changbin. But when you add buff guy I understand. They are all so skillful and talented there’s no way to choose a favorite

[@sjtropp]

Changbin started as a vocalist until one of his music teachers told him to try rapping and that’s when one of the best 4th generation rappers was born.

[@kjreacts7715]

Shout out to the teacher that believed in him and said to start rapping. I hope he paid that teacher a visit

[@1234567ericka]

Chan was born in Korea but moved to Australia when he was very young, so he grew up Aussie until he moved to Korea to pursue his idol dream.

[@kjreacts7715]

Oh snaps, so he was born in Korea! I was wrong but I’m sure he has more of an Aussie personality and that accent is strong

[@phylisbrown1181]

​@@kjreacts7715 he certainly does. He is a true blue Aussie at heart.

[@OkieDoak19]

The main thing I will say is, do not get hung up on the roles. For Stray Kids, they really don't matter--they can all do anything that they need to do and do it exceptionally well. Yes, all of them know English quite well but have varying levels of comfort with it: Lee Know is the least comfortable with speaking English but understands it quite well. The sub-units (groups that have more of a main focus in certain areas): 3Racha- the producers/do most of the writing (Chan, Changbin, and Han). They were a rap group underground before becoming a part of Stray Kids. DanceRacha- Felix, Hyunjin, and Lee Know (Lee Know is the dance leader as in he is in charge of making sure everyone knows the choreo perfectly--he also contributes to the choreo as do the others) VocalRacha- Seungmin and I.N. The thing you will come to clearly understand is how much these guys love one another. They are more family than most actual families. There bond is unreal.

[@kjreacts7715]

They are brothers and that’s why I feel like they are able to be as successful as they are and not break up from eachother. One of the best groups and I agree they are all skillful but it’s good to know the roles they mainly play too

[@liza_pet]

Seungmin is not just a fan, he has been playing baseball professionally since childhood but was unable to continue due to injury, and his grandfather is also a fairly famous baseball player in South Korea. Of the recent events, there is also no mention of Seungmin's modeling career or his collaborations with such fashion brands as Loewe and Harry Winston. And this year Seungmin started hosting his own show on the official STRAY KIDS channel called "SONG BY" where he talks about his thoughts on music and sings the chosen song.

[@kjreacts7715]

seungmin could model play baseball what else cause the resume is stacked!!

[@1234567ericka]

3racha- the producers are Chan, Changbin, and Han. To avoid confusing Bang Chan and Changbin, it helps to call them Chan and Binnie.

[@ladyshar42]

There is also: DanceRacha - Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix VocalRacha - Seungmin and I.N. Those are the "official" groupings, there are several fan made ones that also have gotten adopted beyond those such as PaboRacha (Pabo means dumb or fool, and its Hyunjin, Han and Lee Know) and MeowMeowRacha (Lee Know and Felix b/c they are both very cat like). The clip with Lee Know (or Lino) in a wig is from SKZFamily, which has happened 3 times. Auntie Lino is amazing, and is so Chan, who is perpetually Foive. They are fan favorites for sure.

[@kjreacts7715]

Thank you cause I was like we got a Chan Chan and Han ahahah

[@1234567ericka]

Chan was wiping Lee Know's butt because he sat on the ground and there was still more filming to get done for the music video.

[@kjreacts7715]

Hahaha that’s love and funny at the sametime

[@LG_Lela]

Chan became a trainee at the company at the age of 13 and was a trainee for 7 years. He was the oldest and most experienced in the group. Lee Know is the second oldest - so they both took on the responsibility of looking after the others. All the others became trainees when they were 16-17 years old. Lee Know has both parents. It's just that over time, the guys became so attached to each other that they became a family. They have repeatedly said that now they cannot imagine their lives without each other. They had to go through many trials - they were hated for the music and songs they composed, for their appearance, for some words or actions. How many times did fans demand to remove this or that member from the group. They are more popular in the world than in their country. Nevertheless, they went through all this together, which united them. They became each other's support.

[@kjreacts7715]

That's what it is like when you grow through alot with a group of friends. they become family. Im sure they were right there when anyone of them needed anything more than family

[@sylvielebrun1733]

Ahh you finally did it, not the full 2 hour guide but it’s a start, thank you KJ. A lot of your questions are answered in the full guide however, like their history. Main = best Lead = very good Sub = good You did great remembering the names. Once you’re up to it please react to the long 2024 guide. You will learn their roles and the subunits and their accomplishments. A huge part of SKZ is the subunit 3Racha which make 99% of their music. It consists of the leader Chris (Chan) that makes the beats, the 2 main rappers Changbin (Binnie) and Han (Quokka). This short guide gave you the wrong impression of Lee Know (mom), there is nothing feminine about him, he is in fact the protector and sometimes the scary one, you don’t mess with Lee Know but very soft on the inside. You can watch it in parts like 2 members per reaction or some reactors do one member at a time and show some of their solo songs or funny compilations for each member. Don’t be afraid to get bored, these guys are hilarious to watch and so amazingly talented. Thanks again for doing this.

[@shereechaffe2953]

Bang Chan the leader chose the members himself, which is not usually done in kpop. They are all very close, like family.

[@kjreacts7715]

he had the power to assemble the hardest group in the world lol

[@amyhahn4734]

Yeah, I hear you on the difference in group longevity in Western v. Kpop groups. I have some theories. 1. Asian Idols have 7-year signed contracts with the company (to cover their trainee time and production costs). 2. (And I think this is the one that is so smart) Stray Kids obviously have all their official projects on their JYPE label. Additionally, they all have open opportunity to work on solo and unit projects - which are released on their KZbin channel. I think the genius in this means that no-one feels like his creativity is sacrificed for the group. This has got to minimize the infighting that has caused so many Western groups to self-destruct. 3. (my sub-theory) is that the market is SO competitive that all groups have to bring their A-game to the table, 125% of the time. With choreo and presence such an important part of every performance the more people available to provide an ebb & flow in focus throughout the songs, the easier for each member to "rest & recuperate" to maintain energy levels. Strength in numbers!

[@kjreacts7715]

Sheesh you really put it into perspective. I understand clearly now and the big take away is that the artist can work on other projects so that they don't feel like they are sacrificing creativity and opportunities for the group. Dope!

[@liza_pet]

Without a doubt, Kim Seungmin is the best vocalist of the 4th generation and the real diamond not only of STRAY KIDS but of the entire K-POP industry. Seungmin has a truly unique voice, he has reached simply unreal heights, namely the very unearthly sound that the angels created "a voice that is pure as crystal and stronger than diamond". PLEASE REACTION TO SEUNGMIN SOLO PERFORMANCE "PERFUME". PLEASE REACTION TO SEUNGMIN "KING OF MASKED SINGER" MBC. PLEASE REACTION TO SEUNGMIN AND LEE MUJIN SERVICE EP02. PLEASE REACTION TO SEUNGMIN: OST "DESTINY" "PHOBIA" "CLOSE TO YOU" "HERE ALWAYS". SOLO SONGS "HOLD ON" "STRAS AND RAINDROPS".

thank you i will try to get to as many as possible

[@ladyshar42]

I think you'd really like one of the longer guides, they answer some of your questions. TeaNoSuga has a good long one, and there are a few others.

[@SkzAte-h3s]

That one isn’t updated, and the 2024 one is better bc it gives more info

[@kjreacts7715]

and the longer ones are too long

[@AiméEclipse7]

Thank you for checking out their guide. My favorite is the Versace Prince Hwang Hyunjin, he is such an amazing dancer. But of course, all Stray Kids members are talented. This guide doesn't cover each member's talents and personalities in detail, so if you have time, I recommend watching a longer, more detailed guide about Stray Kids. I hope you also check out more of their music!! 😊

[@kjreacts7715]

Aimee no way you want me to watch another guide that is longer😂 come on love. I thought this did a good job explaining the basics so that I can have a better understanding when I watch their videos Hyunjin is pretty cool. All of them look so majestic. I need the skin care routine! Thank you for being here though what song have I not reacted to by them yet?

[@sylvielebrun1733]

@@kjreacts7715 hope you don’t mind me stepping in AMEE. KJ, they have over 400 songs and they’re all good. You reacted to their earlier songs but the song that was a turning point for them is God’s Menu, even Chris suggested for people that never listened to SKZ to start with that song. Maybe after God’s Menu you’ll be motivated to watch the longer guide. My bias is also Hyunjin like AMEE.

[@mariacelcia2]

​​​@@kjreacts7715 this guide kind of covers surface. For example one big thing about hyunjin is that he was street casted based on his visuals. He was out grocery shopping with his mother when a JYP scout saw him and gave him a card and asked him to come audition. He had no prior experience with dancing, singing, or anything to do with being an idol. He does not like being judged on his visuals and as surprising as it is he really struggled with dance and said at one point he was so bad he should have hated it. That least clip you really liked when he was dancing with a group of backup dancers was from his Artist of The Month for studio choom. It has over 46 million views and has been #2 for almost 3 years with his "Hwang Twin" Yeji being #1. That 1st clip of his stage presence is the Hwang collab they did off her AOTM and his self-choreographed playing with fire that has over 45 million views and was only released on JYP site/ skz-player. Also he is a model for numerous brands and the offical global ambassador for Versace, Donatella Versace refers to him as her Versace Prince and even crowned him. He is also the 1st asian to be a global Versace ambassador. There is much more to know about all the members but this video does give basic info and you can at least know their names and a couple quick things about them.

[@thatstay3916]

Every member of stray kids is pretty in touch with their feminine side and that’s due to idol culture and just being themselves they all grew up with plenty of men around them lol. They’re all super close and love joking with each other

haha true actually the idol culture does bring that side out especially when women is your main audience w

[@cicibingham6217]

No, Felix& Chan did not know each other before Felix came to Korea, and Chan had been in Korea for 7 years prior to Felix. Felix had to learn Korean.

You ask how they stay together for so long? They freaking love each other. They're absolutely brothers. They LOVE each other and they have an amazing leader, Chan.

[@EmmieUniverse]

@@kjreacts7715 oh they break up all the time. It's more rare that they don't. Skz just renewed their contract though, that doesn't happen a lot in kpop. We've got them for another 5 to 7 years at least.

A lot of people call changbin by his nickname binnie to help offset the confusion with bang chan. Sometimes remembering daddy chan or Wolfchan (his character is a wolf in skzoo)(alpha/leader) can help you remember them separately as well.

​@@kjreacts7715and to add to that, there are still men in east asia who definitely have a more manly style and aura about them even by US standard, but idols in particular are not really that style of dude and people in general are more relaxed and not as much about beauty fitting only into one category, very feminine or very masculine. even the idols who are buff and muscular are still usually on the "pretty boy" side with their faces by US standard. It's just not really meant to be what the idol appeal is about, very clean, handsome but also pretty is what's most widely appreciated.

They debuted in 2018 They are ages 23 - 26 Fandom name is Stay #2 Best Selling Artist in U.S 2023 #3 Globally Best Selling 2023 They are unique for several reasons... First, the leader Bang Chan was allowed by JYP to hand pick all of the members himself. They were not placed together in a traditional way, by the company. Second all of them are all arounders. They can all sing, rap, dance, produce and write. Third, they have written and produced about 99% of their music. Numbers of songs each member has copyrighted according to Korean Music Association (KOMCA) so far... Bang Chan 184 (#3 in KPop) Changbin 156 Han 152 Hyunjin 27 Felix 22 I.N 21 Seungmin 20 Lee Know 17 While they can all do everything they do have 3 different subunits... 3Racha... Bang Chan, Chang Bin and Han which are the main producers and lyricists. They are always credited as 3Racha. 3Racha Achievements - Producers of Consecutive Five Time Billboard 200 #1 album debuts - only group in history - Hot 100 Hitmakers - 3rd, 11th, 12th Most Credited Idols on KOMCA - Produced Albums Sold Over 20 Million Copies - Japan Hot 100 Hitmakers - 100+ Weeks on Hot 100 Lyricists - 100+ Weeks On Hot 100 Composers - 2023 Asia Artist Awards Best Creator - Makers of Time Magazines 2020 #8 Best Song (their song Backdoor) Danceracha... Lee Know (in charge of leading dance practices), Felix and Hyunjin. They also contribute to the choreography. Vocalracha... Seungmin and I.N While the songs are hype they always have significant meaning to them. Their lyricism is always insane. Since they are so experimental their sound has its own genre and they have a very diverse discography. Example... Gods Menu, Back Door and Case 143 all completely different sounds.

I believe they said Lead dancer for Lee Know because he is kind of like the dance captain since he had so much experience dancing backup for BTS. Hyunjin is the visual, and every group has a visual, which basically means the most attractive and center for center of attention. Although other members may be visuals and are attractive, he is the appointed “visual” of the group

[@kjreacts7715]

Yes but isnt felix the center of attention? but Hyunjin the best looking one i think they said. but either way haha to be labeled the visual has to boost your ego some right?

[@mariacelcia2]

​@@kjreacts7715 felix is mainly the 1st one people can pick up usually because of his deep voice. You can tell who he is in almost every music video as soon as he starts singing. Whether they know he's felix or deep-voice guy. Also the majority of their fans are international so it's easier to have him and chan go for interviews and promotions as english is their 1st language. He is also visually appealing. Hyunjin avoids english unless necessary, but he has got much better just not hugely comfortable with it. He is also an introvert and shy so i believe personally he doesn't mind not having the extra duties and interactions felix does (felix is an extrovert and comfortable interacting with new people). Also hyunjin doesn't really like being know for his visuals, it is part of his duties and benefits the group a lot to draw in new people, but it's not what he wants his main point to be.
