rapline is Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix! 3Racha (Chan, Changbin, Han) is the producing unit and they also have predebut rap mixtapes! Chan raps in 3Racha but usually for SKZ albums he's on vocals! Seungmin and Jeongin are vocal line! Minho, Hyunjin and Felix are danceline! All of SKZ are pretty much all rounders tho, especially Han

[@riabees]

Minho is a really great dancer! he was a backup dancer for BTS predebut (altho he said pls don't look for him 😂) and if one if the members messes up the choreo they fear Minho's retribution 😂

[@jj.one1]

You forgot han is lead vocal

[@nirooo4754]

The one whose voice you like is Seungmin the main vocalist of Skz.

[@mscellaneous7789]

Yes Seungmin’s voice is so beautiful.

[@hannah27_99]

@merksmirs I guess by now you know it was Seungmin who sang Love Poem and not I.N And when you said you thought Bang Chan was only cute, I'm also guessing you have not seen yet the Wolfgang Kingdom performance.

[@MissYellowCat]

Actually the one who did love poem is 12:29 his name is seungmin, the one who you thought did love poem is I.N. Changbin is the agressive rapper at he start of gods menu, Han is the other rapper that caught your eye. Some more info about stray kids Bangchan choose all of his members Stray kids are a self producing group they have a hand in pretty much ALL of their music They don't really have any roles only units, all 8 sing and rap just depends on the song The units are 3racha the producing unit(Chan, Changbin, Han), Danceracha the dance unit (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix) Vocal racha vocal unit (Seungmin, I.N) Good luck with chan wearing a regular shirt 😂 idk of you saw the wolfgang kingdom performance but uh 😳 They are all sweethearts, and VERY NOEASY(noisy)

[@mequitazho]

I'll explain... That's not Bang Chan, that's Christopher (his other personality haha) Bang Chan has 3 personalities... Bang Chan: Leader of Stray Kids, composer, father of 7 kids Channie: Sweet and shy Christopher: Alpha Male

[@merksmirs]

Christopher is a menace

[@mequitazho]

I agree... That man hurts me... He drives me crazy CHRISTOPHER I LOVE YOUUU

[@brittk3881]

@@merksmirs And the fact that bangchan and felix are Australian just makes them even more of a menace. Sheesh 😌

[@lella1213]

Stray Kids are so talented. Thank you for reacting to them. They do write all of their songs (there are maybe 1 or 2 they did not write). All of them can sing and rap. I recommend all of their songs, seriously you can’t go wrong.

[@hescutethough2419]

theres 1 song they didnt write and its the song jyp wrote for them as a gift XD while looking very nervous if stray kids might like it lol theres sometimes someone *helping* with composing the song but 3racha honestly does it ALL (ah and 1 song dancerracha-ergo minho, hyunjin and felix wrote so still stray kids, just not 3racha)

[@strayberrykids188]

@@hescutethough2419 all in was still written by them but jyp made the track so jyp is part of the credit but so is 3racha. Basically the only song they ddnt contribute in the lyrics is Wow~

[@davvixi9077]

The Christopher impact :D Welcome to the group of 8 rappers, 8 vocalists, 8 dancers, 8 amazing people ;d You're in, so you gotta STAY now(yes, that was intentional xd)

[@InvaderKevin]

The fact you called their songs noise in a good way and they literally have an album called noisy (Noeasy) I just thought that was great

[@mangoe1]

i love love watching reactors fall in love with stray kids! they are a wonderful group , as artists and people 🤗

[@mangoe1]

lmao i love how you call Changbin "rapper boi" 😄

[@darinamachavova]

I laughed so hard at the end of Back Door XD You missed Lee Know BUT noticed him at the beginning and said you wanted to know who he was AND you noticed his gorgeous visuals during Gods Menu XD

[@chloe-mx9rq]

THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GET TO KNOW STRAY KIDS!!😌

[@Tinkerbellgirl59]

I feel you so much with everything you said about bang chan LOL He kills me all the time, he is too hot and then you watch his vlive "chan's room" and hes like the most adorable person ever. :D

[@CreateNColour]

Loved your reaction! New subscriber 😄 Yes, that's what they're like. Every song is 🔥🔥🔥 Self produced. Styling is always on point. Dancing is 🔥🔥🔥 and their songs almost always have an important or powerful message too. Check out a guide, you'll love them! The aggressive rapper is Changbin, the other rapper whose voice and hair you liked is Han. Then the vocalist is Seungmin (who did Love Poem, and he's wearing the leopard print in back door) the other one was I.N. (Clock choreo in back door) The one you thought you'd missed, actually you noticed in God's Menu with orange hair, and he flips the switch in the start of Back Door, also the first drop in Thunderous you said you liked his tone, is Lee Know. So you've noticed them all at some point. They all rap, sing, dance and even act pretty well as you'll learn the deeper you go into your Stray Kids journey. No positions anymore, they all do everything really well. Their lives and dance practices and relays are all great, Stays won't complain if you react to them all. 😜

[@mangoe1]

lol bangchan was the reason i got into stray kids and he's still my bias, changbin's rap in miroh made me stay 🥰

[@camilamessias4246]

Stray Kids have 3 units: 1°: Rap Unit also known as 3Racha -BangChan -Changbin -Han 2°:Dance Unit(Also Known as Dance Racha) -Felix -Lee Know -Hyunjin 3° Unit:Vocal Unit (Also known as Vocal Racha) -Seungmin -I.N 💕

[@pretzel431]

3racha is actually not the rap line, they're the producing unit of Stray Kids :) rap line is han, changbin, Felix, and hyunjin

[@wrongname1278]

3Racha is not their rapline.. Its their producer line,this is a mistake many stays make. Skz rapline is Changbin,Han,Hyunjin and Felix

[@allexy1a153]

Getting ready to watch this! I am excited for a fellow ahgase getting into SKZ, they are just top tier !!!!

[@spookyspaghett1]

Your eyeliner is like perfect I’m impressed

[@love4scotland]

Now that I actually finished the video, just wanted to say you are adorable and I have many of the same feelings. Han is my bias but with this group it's so hard to love just one. They are ALL so amazing, talented and beautiful.

[@icantsle3p]

love your reaction, chan is a cute guy who happens to moonlight as christopher a really hot guy 😂

[@user-82min90-8s]

though someone may have told you before, Thunderous is a diss track for all the haters who say their music is "too noisy" -- and SKZ openly embraces it 🔥

[@polina2297]

Yes we all love Chan's crop tops so sit back and enjoy the show 😍😍😁

[@strayberrykids188]

Oh gosh! Love that you brought up the video game cause aside from the animation if you listen to the intrumental of God's Menu it sounds like a video game bg music! Especiallly the prechorus. Some of my fav choreos of stray kids would be Domino, Easy, Top, Double Knot, and Scars. I know only one of them is a Title Track and its even a japanese release but the choreo is very attractive to me! And yes they have dance practices for those. Oh and throwing in the choreo of Side Effect cause that one is art!! Definitely would look forwars to your skz journey!

[@BananahRae]

Girl, you are all of us with the fangirling 😂😂

[@crazee013]

"ooh my wallet" 😂 i feel you. Luckily i haven't found any other group that i like so much to make me want to stan. Stray kids is more than enough for me now.

[@kokitrees7394]

Sorry for the long comment! 3:30 is Minho! (stage name Lee Know) 4:43 is Jisung (stage name Han) (you keep noticing him in the MV's, you have good taste, I am a Han bias so I can definitely understand) 6:10 is Seungmin 8:28 the one in the center is Changbin 9:24 is Minho again 12:42 is Jeongin (stage name I.N) I didn't include Bang Chan, Felix, and Hyunjin since you pick them out pretty well. If you want to get to know them, I'd recommend the Stray Kids guide by TeaNoSuga, it's probably the best guide for them on KZbin right now Stray Kids have an ongoing storyline, but I have way too many theories to express for a first time reaction to Stray Kids so I'll save them for if you ever get into the storyline. If you want to look into the storyline I'd check out Stray Kids: Prequel (Highlight Reel), Bang Chan narrates it completely in English and it gives a basic explanation of the storyline, and that video was what helped me get a more basic understanding of it before going into theories of my own.

[@CAAAAYYYY]

If you thought Chan was hot in those... definitely need to watch their Red Lights MV 😏

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

5:05 is Han 5:59 Yes, Hyunjin 6:06 is Seungmin The rapper at the end of God's Menu is Changbin (the same one who opened the song). 9:20 is Lee Know 10:13 is Han 10:27 Yes, Hyunjin is the third most frequent rapper in SKZ. But, like everyone else, he's not bound to an official position; he's one of the three dance-focused members and also frequently sings. 10:48 is Seungmin 11:09 Chan is mf-ing adorable. He's also an absolute thirst trap and not afraid to bait that trap at every half-clothed opportunity. You said you didn't watch the finale of Kingdom, and your suprise here would have told us that even if you hadn't. Man hasn't worn a full shirt in the last year for anything less than an international diplomatic performance for the president. STAY stick the term "racha" on the end of every possible descriptor, and Chan is one of the core members of Muscleracha, Tiddieracha, and Cakeracha because he works _hard_ on that body. 11:47 Rapper boy with the rough voice is Changbin 11:58 Han 12:33 Nope, same vocalist boy: Seungmin 12:40 Nope, that's I.N. This is the first time you've really pointed him out. Seungmin did Love Poem. I.N danced (and rapped and sang) with Lee Know and Felix in Mayfly's "Wolf" performance on Kingdom.

[@Lesava1]

Felix is my bias, but I am with you, girl, Bang Chan is my bias breaker LOL and Seungmin with his vocals just kills me

[@staykatsreact]

In the MV maniac Han hurt his ankle so he’s not in the big dance sequences that’s why he’s kind of by himself and has just walking. Ironically shortly there after Felix hurt his back so any live performance you’ll see of maniac from their promotions and stuff Felix isn’t doing the choreography he has like walk-through cameos.🌻

[@shuporangporang.linoss]

Straykids's get alot of hate for their noisy music so they made an album called 'noeasy' Cheese and Thunderous was a disstrack to the haters

[@emmabrown9906]

If you watch red lights mv you get bangchans open back too

[@sharinistic]

You accidentally mixed the vocalists in back door! The one you said did the love poem is the junior vocalist and maknae I.N while the love poem vocalist was the one just right before him that you thought wasn't and whose voice you really liked. He's Seungmin. Thanks for reacting!!

[@mscellaneous7789]

I always love your videos and this one is no exception. I’m like a proud mom watching you try to guess everyone’s name and loving them. Haha you’ll love their dance practices. And they make so many MV’s it’s gonna be a fun journey!

[@user-82min90-8s]

incredibly talented lads! write and produce their own music, are self-formed, all are great singers, rappers and dancers. go hard through their music and are total sweethearts offstage. definitely one of a kind! 🙂 they're the reason i'm back into kpop now.

[@mamit2u]

I love to see you this excited :D I also love SKZ

[@yui.k04]

ahhh you're finally reacting to skz yay!! there's no doubt you'll like them, it makes it better that they're younger brothers of got7 hehe they're all so talented and amazing ppl, can't wait for more reactions~

[@Zodiac0406]

their "Freeze" next please, you can also check out their "Domino" and "Easy" dance practice, thanks!

[@Lulu_villain]

Welcome to our fandom. Yeah, everyday being a Stay feels like being hit by a bus)))

[@ssw2735]

Love your reaction! I have been stanning Stray Kids for 3 years now and I am always excited to see first reactions to them! Their music is so good and they have a huge discographies and they drop a lot of other contents too! Btw I am also a Bang Chan bias so I feel you…you should definitely check out Victory Song 😉. I also recommend checking out Miroh (the song that made me a Stay) and my all time favorite Stray Kids song Easy. Subscribing to watch your journey! Have fun!

[@ras_2018]

Your laugh when he came out with no shirt was the best sound!!!!!

[@NeleCB]

I've just discovered your channel and I already wanna hang out with you lol. Your reactions to Chris are exactly what we're all thinking 😂

[@sissi7909]

You should definitely watch an introduction, or some interview...one you get to know them better you cannot escape anymore ( I'm also curious about what do you think when you see Felix, because he is completely different in real life 🤣🤣🥰)

[@serenitybyjan365]

Loved your reaction! New subscriber

[@poppyfortea]

Yes you had Han and Changbin right, and Bang Chan, Felix and Hyunjin too of course! I used to confuse Han and Changbin at first too. And the vocalist you pointed out was 2 people. At first in Back Door you were pointing out Seungmin who sang Love Poem on Kingdom, and then you thought Seungmin was a different person in the same video, and then you pointed out I.N in Thunderous and thought it was the same person. But it's totally fine. I used to get Seungmin, I.N and Lee Know confused constantly when I started listening to them first. Their choreos are always so busy I couldn't keep up with who was who for a long time. 😅 You catch on super quickly once you watch a guide or two.

[@tamaravanhees1749]

He's an Aussie, that's enough of a reason LOL (Im completely biased though as a fellow Aussie.

[@hanbeaur]

Haven’t watched yet cos I’m at college but so excited cos I love u and I love skz so 😅💜🤷‍♀️

[@susanhill2110]

Seungmin is the one who did love poem. There are eight members and used to have nine but Kim Woojin left. Bangchan, Changbin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Lee Know, I.N and Hyunjin are the current members.

[@jaycebradley8404]

‘he’s got blue hair and he’s wearing a crop top’ i’m cryinggggggg

[@Anyamaris99]

mfw you said "I thought Bang Chan was cute" knowing Thunderous was coming up lol

[@hescutethough2419]

welcome to the fandom♥

[@lixjoonhoneymt7149]

if you plan on checking out a guide for them I highly recommend the one by 'TeaNoSuga' she is a British reactor who has been very into Stray Kids for a couple years.. and while it is a guide that came out in 2021 it is one of best if not THE BEST stray kids guide this is coming from a pre-debut STAY (fandom name) it is a guide where you need to pause (a lot) but it is informational

[@DrMoon42]

They have dance practice vids to the first 3 songs plus relay dances which are amazing.

[@jaejune21]

I recommend you check out Domino dance practice since there's no MV for it (but there's the unveil teaser video). Domino is one of my faves from Noeasy album. But honestly, watch all dance practices! They're all great 😆

[@officialslothchild]

Oh my god?? I’ve been WAITING for you to react to SKZ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my ahgase soul and Stay soul coming togetherrrrrrr

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

No matter what you see in any guide, or hear from anyone (Stay, non-Stay, even SKZ themselves), there are OFFICIALLY no longer any set positions (except leader) in SKZ. There's no lead dancer, sub-rapper, main vocalist, etc. There also aren't static/official vocal lines or rap lines. We and they sometimes still throw terms around (especially main whatever) because it's kind of shorthand since we know who's being talked about for what reason. And we know which four members are the four most frequent rappers and which four are the four most frequent vocalists (and which one pulls full-on double duty). But all eight are very good at singing, dancing, AND rapping, and all eight do all of those things. (And there is no official visual either, no matter how often someone tells you it's Hyunjin -- the member most directly hurt by having his looks used against him and who's specifically said he wants to be recognized for his work, not his looks.) While certain members tend to focus on certain areas above others, they can and do float freely around in positions and fill different needs in different songs. You will be _constantly_ misinformed about this during your SKZ journey. As a side note, even if there were a set, static rap unit/line, it wouldn't be 3RACHA, no matter how many times people tell you otherwise. 3RACHA are the _producing_ unit, not the rap unit/line. When they operate independently of SKZ, they are indeed a rap trio and they predate SKZ, but within SKZ they're the main producers (and within SKZ, Chan sings more than raps).

[@timjimu]

they all can rap and sing well

[@lysheleclair03]

Yes you need to watch an introduction! I recommend teanosuga's video.

[@krissie8393]

If you want to know how diverse they are in singing/rapping I would suggest District 9 and then NeverEnding Story live performance 😁

[@anitaforsyth8405]

If you like Bang Chan, watch rEed Lights, but be prepared....

[@merksmirs]

*whisper* that's the next video

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

16:16 Yes, that's Han. However, don't fall into the trap of "that's a rapper, so it's [blank]" or "that one is singing, so it must be [blank]." That approach won't work with SKZ. Changbin sings like an angel. So does Felix. Han works double time with raps and vocals. Lee Know will hard rap one second, throw in some b-boy magic moves, and then hit the prettiest falsetto in SKZ. And so forth. Just toss any assumptions about positions out the window. Positions don't exist in SKZ -- other than leader, they were removed from the group. 18:18 Lee Know 19:17 It's Han, not Changbin 20:30 They're fighting against others, not themselves. Part of this is tied into the incredibly convoluted, complicated lore, so I won't even try on that level. But specifically, they're fighting against/staging a revolution against their haters, the people who hate on them for making "noise" and not sounding like the narrow, acceptable mainstream. The entire NOEASY album is a clapback, and this is one of the songs that does so in the lyrics. Yes, 3RACHA made "Maniac." Lyrics: 3RACHA. Composing: 3RACHA and Versachoi (a close friend and one of their favorite and most frequent co-producers; he's the same age as Chan). Arranging: Versachoi and Chan. (You can see from the order who was the higher-credited party for those different roles. Versachoi does a lot of arranging in particular with them, and if you saw 3RACHA producing during Kingdom, then you also saw Versachoi, as he was the co-producer in that footage -- sweet, unassuming face, young, sitting at the desk while Chan stood next to him and Han and Binnie were behind them.) We heard Chan writing the first notes of the Maniac track TWO YEARS AGO. His laptop full of unreleased music is the Holy Grail of STAY (along with the phones of Han, Changbin, and Hyunjin). 26:45 That's I.N. So far you've mostly pointed out Seungmin's voice, but a couple times you thought I.N was Seungmin, so...yeah, basically you've liked the voices of both of the members of Vocalracha. 27:34 Yes, one of them is missing in the group dance shots for the choruses. Han literally went too hard on the dance moves and tweaked his back, so he had to hold off on these dance moves for the shoot, which is why he has the little solo shots during the chorus. In the live and recorded stages, you'll see that Han is now fine (it was a just a little tweak), but Felix won't be doing most of the dance, just the bits you see in this video; he has a much longer-term back injury that he's been rehabbing for quite a while now).
