American Reacts To A Simple Guide to Stray Kids (2023 Edition)

[@idk-zd4po]

skz are actually one of the biggest kpop groups rn 😭😭

[@esidhe]

The survival show was nothing like American Idol. Their company JYP basically had Stray Kids do certain tasks, write songs, perform etc, to show they were ready to debut. Felix - deep voice. Lee Know - falsetto. They can all sing, rap and dance. They just specialise in certain areas.

[@HIM_066]

@esidhe ahh okay so it was a like a music bootcamp

[@Sue_541em]

7:35 they all can sing even the rappers have great voice.

[@StayJJ0325]

7:30 they can all sing rap and dance and have all contributed to writing and composing music with 3racha. The units they have are just in place from when they initially had set roles and also helps to break down the group a bit

[@sandystays0325]

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids! 😊 Just to clarify bc it is a little confusing: The sub-units just show the focus each member has (or what they're best at maybe) but obviously they all do kinda everything, like you can see everyone dancing the choreography not just Danceracha, they all sing, and they all participated in producing songs at some point. If you wanna know who focuses more on rapping or singing, you could seperate them into the rap line with Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix; and the vocal line with Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N. But it's all still very fluid as you see all of them doing everything from time to time. It's important to note that they don't have fixed positions anymore as normally used in kpop (ex. main/lead/sub vocalist/rapper/dancer)! I would recommend to react to some of their title tracks to see what music they're known for (as I checked out your reactions I saw you only reacted to B-Sides yet). Title tracks are normally the most popular songs of a group and show their typical sound. They will always have a MV and choreography (B-sides don't always have that). My recommendations would be S-Class, God's Menu, Maniac, Thunderous. Looking forward to more! 😁

4:23 yeah the song is called 3racha 9:18 they aren’t but the company they’re under didn’t prioritize them, they were just an experimental group. Once the company saw how much people liked them, they started putting money into the group

[@mayzaiz]

Skz are actually one of the biggest kpop groups at the moment. Recently they won an award for 'Best kpop', the only other people to have won that are bts and blackpinks Lisa.

[@HIM_066]

Wow thats maad -- @daiscz thanks for filling me in

[@seochangbinsarms]

22:23 Pronunced kinda like soong- min 22:32 pronounced just like the letters when said separately

[@thatstay3916]

Its less american idol because Chan picked all the members beforehand! The reality show aspect was proving they were ready to debut! Since this video was made they had another number 1 billboard 200 with an album that got over 5 million preorders making it the highest selling album in koran history! They can all sing and rap but theyre the units are the ones who focus on it the most especially during their trainee days!

[@cassc23]

I believe all the songs you hear in the background of this guide are usually in the bottom right-hand corner...if you forget what you wanted to hear or want to know what you're listening to

[@herzeleidknits]

14:27 yes that's Changbin's rap. The first song was Doodle. The second was Mirror Mirror the he featured on

[@chalo4967]

they can all pretty much sing, rap and dance (obviously some excel in them more than others) but the subunits focus more on what they are primarily known for (3racha: producing & a majority of the rap, danceracha: dancing, and vocalracha: vocal)

[@luca143ayen]

04:26 yes it's '3racha' by 3racha

[@HIM_066]

@felix.ourlittlesun 🙏🏽 omg that snippet slaps

[@cha5106]

3racha recently performed singing 3racha at Global Citizen Festival 2023

[@luca143ayen]

I recommend watching 'Stay are fOive and so is my IQ' as a start to understand their personas

[@_venus_8167]

Stray kids taking the whole industry around the world rn they're doing amazing ❤🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@cruzprincessellyna.8359]

Thank you for supporting Stray kids

[@HIM_066]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@carlarojas1691]

They can all sing but vocalracha is called that because before they took away SKZ's official positions, they were the official vocalists of the group or something like that. Now Stray Kids' vocal line is made up of Bangchan, Lee Know (the one with falsettos) Seungmin and Jeongin (I.N). The rap line consists of Changbin, Hyunjin, Han and Felix (The deep voice) but each of them is good at singing, in fact Han is in charge of the high notes of the group even when he is part of the rap line. So the "rachas" thing is merely because when they do special performances those who tend to dance the most are Danceracha and those who singing the most are usually Vocalracha but everyone can sing.

[@von1glik]

Typical skz mini album (ep) has 6-8 songs. Full albums are 10-14 songs. Unusual albums have even 25. Overall 168 released songs right now

[@HIM_066]

WOW 168 songs!! That is wild I guess I won't run out of Stray Kids music to react to 😆

[@phylisbrown1181]

​@HIM_066xReactions New album due in November. Their 4th release this year. Talk about work ethic!!!

[@loop1210loop]

Hi! Loved the reaction😊 I would love to watch you react to more straykids content! Such as funny moments etc...

[@amyhahn4734]

Seungmin = ("soong-men") and I.N ("eye-N"), and Hyunjin ("hyon-jin" - the first syllable is like honey, with a y after the H.) I know, it is hard to pinpoint a good description of Seungmin's incredible tone, but lots of us think of it like honey (warm and thick and oh-so smooth!) Stray Kids do spoil us with their talents, as every one of them is (at the very least!) proficient in vocals, dancing, and rap. At this point the sub-units are more a nod towards their strongest skill set. And don't even get me started on 3Racha.... As (I hope) you continue to delve into their discography, you'll find that what makes this group so special to us is: the make the music that They want to make they put it to lyrics that are personal to them they love creating and & then performing it for us, and that just connects directly/emotionally to us in a way that is pretty magical...

[@Deekookieee]

Omg yes pls react to more Skz. This guide isn't the best and has some mistakes

[@sweerjae9129]

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@ShanonMae225]

Some of this info seems wrong. Hyunjin was street cast. Also if you liked how 3racha sounded listen to heyday

[@StayJJ0325]

I actually found an article about it. Felix was street casted as well it’s just that hyunjins story is more popular from what I understand

[@ShanonMae225]

@jessh8687 there's an interview with felix and Chan that said he auditioned and only had to dance and chan was shook because he had to sing, dance, play the piano, etc.

[@StayJJ0325]

@@ShanonMae225 ya the Eric nam interview but even if they are street casted they still need to audition. Hyunjin had to audition when he was street casted. Street casting is an agent seeking out the person instead of a person seeking out an audition

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

Felix did an interview with GQ Korea where he said he was street casted and invited to go to an audition. In the Eric Nam interview he was just explaining his audition itself. Hyunjin was street casted and invited to audition as well. Street casting is just approaching a potential candidate on the street based on their looks (or talent if they're busking). They still have to audition to see if they have any potential talent 😉.
