FIRST TIME EVER Reacting to Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) - God's Menu + S-Class + LALALALA + MEGAVERSE

[@DylanNextDoorReact]

Thank you to EVERYBODY for all of the comments! I appreciate the recommendations and I'm SUUUUUUPER looking forward to releasing my next Stray Kids reaction video for all of you! Stayville has been such a kind and passionate environment so far, and I can't wait to dive deeper and get to know all of the boys and their music better! Please stay tuned, and thank you again for all of the love you have shown for Stray Kids!

If you like the cinematic movie like MVs, I recommend Freeze, Venom and Give me your TMI. Also the last title song Chk Chk Boom is a MUST.

I think you will enjoy Ateez as well. Watching their Killing Voice gives you a great overview And Stray Kids live was incredible 🎉

Just to answer your question I'm pretty sure tablo is a singer and he's the person who you saw writing on the paper Also you should def react to jjam, Chk Chk Boom and I Like It by Skz🙂

About Stray Kids: Leader Bang Chan was a trainee at JYP for several years. While waiting to debut, he formed a rap group called 3Racha with two other trainees, Changbin and Han. They wrote / produced their own music. JYP gave Bang Chan the highly unusual opportunity to help develop his own idol group (which they did through a reality show, but Bang Chan had WAY more say in picking the members than pretty much any other idol trainee in the industry), and when Stray Kids was formed 3Racha was absorbed into that group. 3Racha still performs on occasion. Several of their songs / videos are posted on KZbin. They write / produce (and often compose/arrange) the vast majority of the music for Stray Kids. Over the years the other members have also gotten involved in writing and production. ---------------------------------- Stray Kids debuted in 2018. In early videos, you'll see 9 people performing, but one left in Oct 2019. Stray Kids have been an 8-member group ever since. ---------------------------------- DanceRacha - main dance unit (Hyunjin, Felix (deep-voiced guy), and Lee Know). But all 8 members dance very well. ---------------------------------- VocalRacha - main vocal unit (Seungmin and I.N). But again, all 8 members are great and they switch around on lead vocals, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Main rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix. Unlike many K-pop groups, all 8 members can and have rapped, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Languages: Bang Chan (the leader) and Felix (deep-voiced guy) are both Korean-Australian. English is their first language. The other 6 members speak English with varying degrees of fluency. All 8 members are fluent in Korean and can also sing / rap in Japanese. They often mix Korean/English and Japanese/English in their songs. ---------------------------------- Not all of their music is super hard all the time. SKZ also write / sing beautiful ballads and have also written a few songs for K-drama, anime and video game soundtracks. They also collab with / produce for other idol groups and solo artists from KOR, JAP, CHIN, THAI and the U.S. They also wrote a song called SLASH for the official Deadpool and Wolverine soundtrack. ---------------------------------- The fandom is called STAY. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3Racha (Stray Kids' writing and production unit): Bang Chan - leader of Stray Kids, leader of 3Racha, main songwriter, main producer, composer, arranger, vocalist, dancer, rapper on some songs Changbin - main songwriter, main producer, composer, main rapper, vocalist, dancer Han - main songwriter, main producer, composer, main rapper, vocalist, dancer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The other members: Lee Know - main dancer, choreographer for some songs, vocalist, songwriter, rapper on some songs Hyunjin - main dancer, main rapper, songwriter, producer, vocalist (also an artist & some of his paintings have been used as art for their songs) Felix - main dancer, main rapper, songwriter, large vocal range when singing - bass, baritone and high falsetto Seungmin - main vocalist, songwriter, dancer, rapper on some songs I.N - main vocalist, songwriter, dancer, rapper on some songs

[@qkanerd]

You did a great job summarizing so much information about our guys! Thank you! ☺️👏 There are two things I'd like to point out. The first is that only 3RACHA are listed as songwriters per JYPE Publishing, actually each as Singer-Songwriter to be exact. The other 5 members, Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin and I.N are each listed as Lyricist/Composer. The only other thing I'd like to point out is that although Seungmin and I.N are considered the vocal line, it wasn't until the album ATE (2024) that they had the majority of the line distribution for an album. Prior to that album, Han and Chan consistently had more vocals which makes sense because initially they had the most vocal experience. Seungmin and I.N have grown and evolved vocally over the years to where they currently now have the majority share of vocals. Thanks again for sharing so much info with our newest Baby Stay! 😁

Stray kids write, produce, and arrange 99% of their discography. Ballads to recommend. Never ending story (OST) #LoveStay Secret Secret Silent Cry Cover Me And for Felix - Deep End. It is a masterpiece.

[@onepiecexskz]

Stray Kids have a song called "Love STAY" and it's a tear jerker. And "Youtiful" was also written for STAY's too. I honestly think they love us more than we love them. Shoot, some of them stalk (in a good way) STAY's accounts and watch their vlogs and reactions. They're just a group of green flag boys who live up to the kids in Stray Kids.

[@yourbestie3456]

best description! and these songs are the must!

[@YoItsme-wm3fc]

One thing about skz is that no matter how many times i watched their mv it still be exiting and to watch it's just that much good

[@deeception3096]

Let's go Stray Kids! Firstly, thank you so much for checking them out I hope you fall down the rabbit hole. Yes the Felix Effect is real and it's how I got here. They are truly a fantastic group of artists and you are correct, they really love their fandom and we love them (honestly the only ones who love Stray Kids more than Stays are Stray Kids themselves - they never stop talking about how much they love and respect each other as people and artists). As you noted, Stray Kids wrote their very first song together, Hellevator, back before they debuted and they have been a self-producing group ever since. 3RACHA (members Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN) have been their main producers since the beginning. Every member has song credits in their discography. They aren't self-choreographing, but they are very close with their performance team (JYPE Performance Directing Lab) and provide a lot of input on the creative direction of their performances to align with the music they make. Seungmin was the vocalist you kept pointing out the most, and while there aren't set positions in SKZ since 2020 (other than Bang Chan as the leader), he is often called their main vocalist. He has also done several solo songs for different KDramas. Stray Kids have a very diverse discography and showcase a variety of skills as musicians and performers. For some softer and/or more emotional songs, I'd look at Levanter, Twilight, Leave, Secret Secret, Sorry I Love You, and Cover Me. For brighter songs, I'd recommend The View, Awkward Silence, Get Cool, and School Life. To hear their live vocals, I'd highly recommend The First Take series. It's a Japanese channel that has artists perform a song live in one take (like It's Live). Their songs Scars and Mixtape:OH really highlight their skills as live vocalists and the type of emotion they pour into their music. Fun facts: Lily of NMIXX was the young soloist on the first episode of the SKZ Survival Show. She is also backing vocals on a pre-debut 3RACHA track called Placebo (they later made it into a SKZ song). Chaeryeong of ITZY, her sister Chaeyeon, and Changbin have been best friends since trainee days as they lived in the same apartment complex. Bae of NMIXX also recently did a feature on one of HAN's solo songs called "1,2,3,4,5". Welcome to Stayville and I hope you become a Stay!

The one you really liked is Seungmin, the main vocalist. He does a new show called "Song By" where he sings covers. I think you'd like it a lot. I think you'd also really love one of his performances from the show Kingdom called Love Poem, which is Seungmin, Jungho from Ateez, and Eunkwang from BtoB. Also the song Cover Me off the same album as Lalalala and Megaverse. You'll really like that one I think. No video but there are lyric videos. As for next songs, Chk Chk Boom is the latest title Track from June. There are videos for 3 B-sides: Mountains, JJAM, and Stray Kids (which is definitely a song for Stay). As for live performances, they rocked Lollapalooza so if you can find that, it was awesome. Oh, their performance on the Golden Disc Awards!!! It was amazing, and has S-Class and Megaverse, along with Hall of Fame, which doesn't have a MV but does have awesome choreo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i36kiZ2JbJhgjacsi=EXNJ7wwEhiRFdqGm

[@ladyshar42]

oh, and my bias is Lee Know, with 7 bias wreckers, lol.

[@momoen6417]

you have no idea how much they dedicate everything to stay. if anything, they’re not a group that puts center-focus on fan service but actually about building relationships with their fandom. if the message “stray kids everywhere all around the world, you make stray kids stay” already makes you emotional, then what more if you find a video of hyunjin crying at a concert, telling stays to stay. what more if you find a video of i.n bowing at the end of the dominate tour in seoul, head on the floor. they love stay as much as we do love them. anyway welcome to the fandom!

[@yourbestie3456]

[@Lerah99]

I ALWAYS recommend "Red Lights" to people who've started enjoying Stray Kids' music. The video leaves me breathless!

[@goldengryphon]

That's a dangerous one! Levant, Chill, ... I can think of a couple of softer, more melodic songs. Stray Kids has such a varied discography, they're all over the place and I love it!

[@hannah-leahbrown2477]

20:40 , about Tablo, that's the guys name that was at the end of the music video. He's from the group Epik High, and they formed in 2001, so they've been together for 23 years. Felix (guy with super deep voice )of Stray Kids is a huge fan of him. Some of us stays, are thinking that him showing up in this mv is a little Easter egg, and that he might feature in one of stray kids' upcoming songs. But we don't really know (= I hope this helps a little!

[@InbalAmrami]

It help me as one who watch the megavers mv 4 times thank you😉💕

[@KylieIsOverIt]

I don't love K-Pop but I adore Stray Kids. They are something special. My bias is mood-based but consistently Felix, Bang Chan...sometimes wrecked by Lee Know. But Felix is the most consistently compelling...not for his visuals but because of how gentle, warm, and loving he is.

[@NinaRas77]

I’m the same. I don’t listen to any kpop groups except SKZ. I’m old and a few years ago I thought kpop was for teenage girls and the i heard God’s menu and the rest is history. I still only listen to SKZ cuz for me, now other group comes even close… yes, not even BTS even though i do appreciate all they did for Kpop globally. For me SKZ are the GOAT which they keep proving on a daily basis. Bangchan is a genius and a prodigy and 3Racha are incredible

[@HJasmin]

Yep it's definitely Felix's sweet personality that made me fall in love with him!

[@xristoszlf]

Tablo is rapper and also best known as the leader and producer of veteran Korean hip-hop group Epik High, and the founder of independent music label HIGHGRND (High Ground), which housed bands Hyukoh and The Black Skirts.

[@LeebitsEars00]

Watch 'Red Lights', 'Gone Away' 'Jjam', 'Case 143', just to name a few. ❤ They have 180+ songs, something for everyone, all self-produced. My biases are Hyunjin and Han. But Lee Know is my spirit animal 😊😂 ❤️❤️ Thank you for your reaction!!!!

[@phylisbrown1181]

I LOVE the theme of the Megaverse MV. The security guard was disrespecting them by DOODLING all over them in the newspaper. This angered SKZ and caused them to break the 4 th wall and arrive in their hellevator to right the wrong. CHANS sweater is covered in DOODLES. The boys morphing into each other stamps we are one. One for all, all for one. Mess with one, you mess with us all. I also love the fact that it is the music that blasts him through the wall and the floor. SKZ replied to their haters the best way they can, their music. If you notice no matter where the guard tried to escape to..... through exit doors, he couldn't get away. That is because there is NO EXIT, once you are in, you are here to STAY. At the end the new security guard is TABLO from EPIK HIGH. The crossword said Next 'X'? Next Collab is SKZ X TABLO. Recently Epik High did a collab with Seventeens HOSHI. Interestingly Tablo"s wife's favourite IDOL group is StrayKids. His daughters favourite groups are StrayKids, Seventeen and BTS. I can see a trend 😂 OR This is the journey of a new STAY. First you notice their visuals, the newspaper had our 2 most popular. Then the music hits you, like a slap to the face. As you go further beats like this one literally floors you. After entering the rabbit hole of Stray Kids, as all of the fanbase know, there is no escape. You are here to STAY. LALALALA It is the story of the battle of emotions within the young boys as they face their stage fright and they prepare to perform in front of their audience. These emotions are represented by not only the Chinese characters for Anger, Sorrow, Joy and Pleasure but also by the different sets. You were correct, the clowns in purple are representative of the Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Then we have Pirates of the Caribbean and Mad Max. Once an emotion is overcome the Character disappears as does the set. Eg when they overcame their Anger, the character dissolved and the bank robbery set blew up in an explosion. When Sorrow disappeared, the Character vanished and the huge foot squashed it all. So on until PLEASURE is the only emotion left. The Stage Fright is gone and the young boys get to take pleasure in performing for their audience. The moral of the story, whatever you do, don't let Anger, Sorrow or other negative emotions stop you from finding the pleasure in life. A wise man once said (Bang Chans father) whatever you choose to do in life, JUST ENJOY. You should try out other Genre's by then. Try Topline, Neverending Story, Get Cool and Easy.

[@cicibingham6217]

Lixie's my favorite. Bang Chan chose each member of SKZ personally. They are a one-of-a-kind group.

[@veronikalundqvist6607]

red lights, venom, maniac, hellevator...the list is endless!

[@ColKizumi]

If you want to hear the most beautiful song in their discography (in my opinion), check out Cover Me. It doesn't have an MV, but you can look up the color coded lyric video on youtube. I promise you'll love it. You'll also get to hear Felix's mid range vocals and Changbin's soft boy vocals. Two of my favorite things xD

[@sabrinajolly3485]

I'm OT8.... But I have special love for the SUNSHINE TWINS (FELIX AND HAN) name for the fact that they are born about 10 or so he's apart, and both are such rays of sunshine to each other and stays.... Also known as the skin-ship and kissing duo.... Both are more touchy with the others and Han loves to try kissing the other members to see the reactions when they back away and try to stop him.... But he always runs from Felix because Felix trys to kiss back! Best duo ever!

[@kishaneanime3097]

There is indeed a FELIX EFFECT

[@Enchanted_Heather]

If you want a change of pace (like a ballad) I highly suggest Secret Secret and Leave. I love Thunderous, Hellavator, Easy and Circus. My bias went from Felix and Hyunjin but now I'm OT8 with Han at the top ❤

[@jayltee]

Good ballad recommendations

[@deepsavage2895]

Actually Stray Kids has a lot of styles but usually the title track is more hard and loud hiphop and edm so it's assumed that all their songs are like that, if you want to see different directions and fun songs I have some excellent suggestions for you, you should definitely check them out. -I Like It -Charmer -Cover Me -DLC -Mountains -Red Lights -Easy

[@Thedorkyreader]

The best part about stray kids music, is that there are soooo many videos, songs..etc.. self produced and written….it is a never ending library of great music…. I recommend Maniac (fantastic video), n/s (when they were babies) , 3racha(drill hip hop vibe), easy, thunderous, case 143, venom, freeze, just.. ugh everything

[@katkoiko123]

Hyunjin always kills his performances every part of his body dances and with his majestic aura it looks amazing

[@CorryR]

I'm also a fan of the first take performances for some softer vibes

[@friedahendy2349]

Thank you for giving them a go. They cover over 40 genres you should have a look at some other types, the songs Secret Secret, Leave live performance, and any of their First take videos they have done five. A guide is a very good idea there is a long one from 2024 that is really worth the watch, so much to learn. You will be surprised. Love your enthusiasm

Stray Kids produces all of their stuff. Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han are 3RACHA- the production core

[@Angela-qw4sc]

Really enjoyed this, such a fun reaction! If you want to see them live I'd suggest either awards shows like the VMAs or MAMA or AAA awards. Or one of their festivals they headlined, Lolla Chicago, IDays, BST Hyde Park. You could also check out their newest Dome Tour in Korea. As you suspected, they are amazing live. And yes they are very cinematic. And their mvs are always so well done. They write and produce almost all of their own music and all eight members sing, dance and rap. Their discography is very diverse so you can find pretty much any sound you want. The songs you listened to are definitely more of their harder hitting sounds as most of their title tracks are but their b sides can be anything. Chk Chk Boom is their latest title song and has a great mv, as do Jjam and Mountains. A softer sound from their latest would be Twilight and Stray Kids. Felix drew me into the group and is my bias but I love them all. They are all so talented and mesh so beautifully as a group. You can tell they really love each other and their fans.Hope to see more reactions!

[@prmtv]

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. Bang Chan put the group together and they did the survival show to be approved to debut together. 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 193 (#3 in KPop) Changbin 163 Han 161 Hyunjin 27 Felix 23 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. That was Bang Chan with the chains on his face in Gods Menu who's voice you loved. He's my one and only bias in Kpop. Seungmin was the one in MegaVerse who's voice you liked. Stray Kids have made several songs for Stays. A few... - Youtiful - Waiting for Us - #loveSTAY - Haven - You Can Stay A few songs for more vocals.. Cover Me (lyric video) Levanter (music video) Mixtape OH (music video) Scars (Japanese ver. music video) Waiting for Us (lyric video) Twilight (lyric video) Chill (music video) They have so many. They have around 80 music videos and 200+ songs. Other random recommendations.. Case 143 District 9 (debut) Backdoor ChkChk Boom

[@joshhale9355]

If you want to get to know the members’ personalities outside of the music, there are so many compilations of them doing lives and variety shows and interviews. Basically they’re all dorks, but very lovable dorks; I think that’s part of the reason why STAY is so dedicated because they aren’t afraid of showing who they are. The UNO game between Chan and Felix is a personal favorite of mine.

[@MindySeger]

I love how somebody drops a first time watching SKZ video and then the comments. It’s like ok here we go again and Stayville drops paragraphs. BTW do y’all have those saved or type them new every time? We love our guys and we want everybody to know they are beautiful, sweet, caring, talented, smart, great personalities and a different kind of Kpop. I am Stay only and can’t stand the thought of even listening to another Kpop group. I love all 8 of them and don’t know what I would do without them. I think the others commented all the basics first coming into Stayville. Welcome you won’t get out.

[@delilahraja8617]

You should react to their performances - It was what made me buy tix to see them after only hearing their music for 2 weeks. They are incredible live performers honestly one of the best in the game. I recommend MAMA 2022 performance, AAA 2023 performance, ASEA 2024 Performance and God's duded from kingdom. I am still a baby stay so don't know all of them but I am sure stays will give more amazing performance recommendations!

[@stasya_ta_6982]

They have a lot of melodic songs, literally every album has 2-3. My favorites: Leave, Winter falls, cover me, chill, There, secret secret, silent cry, lonely street, I like it.

Welcome to the fandom💖 stray kids has soooo much variety you will find so many gems and the best is they are self produced✨😻 chan (the leader) even hand picked the members himself, picked the name, the logo is his hand writing... They do it all Baby 😎✨its a no skip every album

[@dafirey1]

It's always a joy to witness new reactors experience their excellence. I'm an OT8 bias... One special member with dogonit 7 wreckers They are remarkably talented with their music writing, singing, production (there are so many songs of different genre within their music / in one song alone) and live display a pure joy when in front of Stay. For their softer side, if you wish to listen to their beauty in song: '19', 'Sorry I love you', 'Another Day', 'Youtiful' and from their most recent album 'Twilight' . Oh yes, I should mention that they keep Stay very spoiled with content. SKZ Code, Behind the scenes of their various M/V's (if you noticed that they aren't called video's for their cinematic beauty), Gifts of their time with lives during concert tours, Variety shows guest appearences, 4 have been on LeeMinjun's Service showing their amazing vocal talent, they also have unit & individual songs/some covers and.... etc, etc... etc. Oh yeah, we are hella spoiled and thrilled about it. If you wish to watch "Chan's room' many of the more then 250 episodes have been uploaded by kind Stay for our continues enjoyment, it is a program where Chan aka Chris aka BangChan our fearless leader (who by the way hand picked the members) it is worth the watch. Many of the Funniest ones have visits from the other members of 3racha, I still look back and watch "3 men in colorful pants, 10% 3RACHA 90% Laughter" by Closer to the Edge, especially if down and it lifts my mood Ever time. Dark Feather's has some hysterical vids too, which showcase their insanely funny sense of humor. There are oooooossssssooooo many reason's Stay love these guys.

Loved your reaction! Welcome to Stayville (Stay is the fandom name)! Stray Kids always bring the most amazing performances. You should check out the stage performance from the Golden Disk Awards 2024 because Megaverse onstage is a sight to see. Their music is so varied too! From all rap to all vocal songs and solo songs you’ll find it in their discography. I wonder if you can tell who is the “designated” vocal or rapper or dancer. They have so many songs where they all sing and it’s always so good. My favorite “ballads” are Leave, Lost Me, Cover Me and Neverending Story. Waiting for Us is another beautiful song that four of them sing. And for a twist the other four sang it last year at a fan meet. For the flip of that Muddy Water is an all rap song that four of them do. And again the other four performed it at the fan meet. That’s how talented they are. They have a new song on the Wolverine&Deadpool soundtrack called Slash-put your headphones in cuz the beat SLAPS. They have four new music videos for their new album: ChkChk Boom, Mountains, JJAM and Stray Kids. You will LOVE the cinematography there. These men love what they do, love their fans but most of all they love each other. And it shows in everything they do. Good luck!🫶🏻

[@crypticshadows]

The tablo at the end with the guy writing is a famous korean rapper called tablo and maybe it’s a hint at an upcoming collab :)

[@xitsCASS]

they have such a large discography and i mean that for more than just songs themselves. the genres are plentiful. i want to give variety so i recommend: red lights, cheese, cover me, super bowl (english song), chill, maniac, charmer, star lost, the view... basically anything from noeasy, tbh.

[@Nacari]

For vocals check out some of their "The First Takes" like Scars, Slump, and Mixtape OH. Also 24 to 25 and Lose My Breath Live Stray Kids Version just to name a couple. Since they write their own songs, they right about whatever they want including the less popular topic of mental health. They had a long road and had a lot of struggles, and they aren't afraid to write songs about it. Social Path ft LiSA (the Japanese artist widely known for her anime intros) Han's solo songs Volcano and Alien. Han is part of 3Racha and is an incredible rapper and vocalist and considered an Ace of K-pop. You can also watch a guide to Stray Kids. Their dualities are like witchcraft especially Hyunjin. Their discography is huge so it's a real real deep dive. I believe almost every music video also has a making film showing the filming process and them being chaotic. They have Korean, Japanese and English songs and have performed a number of covers. One of the best ones for me is their performance of I'll be your man for Kingdom

[@schokigirl1989]

If I would choose the first songs somebody would react to, I would choose more variety to show what they can do. I would also put songs like: Winter Falls & Scars to show more vocal & Emotion. Maybe Back Door & Side Effects, to show off other music genres they do.

[@nezaeya]

We'd love to see your reactions to all or most of their songs if you can hold off on recording your reaction instead of listening on your own, if possible. It would be awesome. If you like ballads or mid-tempo songs, I recommend: "Cover Me", "Scars", "Levanter", "Story That Won't End". There's also a subunit one called "Gone Away". & there's an incredible performance video (Kingdom: Legendary War) of the cover "I'll Be Your Man" (a song from BTOB). I'm more of a 0T8, but if I had to choose a bias, i'd say Hyunjin grabs my attention the most with his dance-style.

[@gladishernandez5102]

Since you are covered with lots of info about them I will say a few things 😌 YES!!! We are a spoiled fandom!! 🤗🤭🤭🤭 The boys always give us songs as presents on our anniversary, and they´re always sending us messages (on songs and social media), they worry about us when something happens in some countries (like earthquakes), and they give us advice (especially the leader Bang Chan). They worry a lot about our mental health so they´re always sending us positive messages, they are so grateful to us that they say it at every opportunity they have (in the last one I.N. bowed to the ground to thank us, in Korea that is THE most respectful way to do it), and the most beautiful thing is that they do it to all people around them not only their fans. There are many videos greeting, helping, thanking, and simply noting bodyguards, staff members, stylists, and their team. These boys are pure hearts. I hope you get to know them a little better. Their music is so versatile that you will find a genre you like for every mood you have. Actually, they have their own genre called Mala Taste and it´s bc their unique style. Finally, you have to check Seugmin´s vocals 😍😍😍 try Love Poem (from Kingdom), Lee Mu Jin's service show, and his OST. Thank you for reacting to Skz and I hope to see more of your reactions, you won´t regret it!! 😉

[@ocelotlover]

Suengmin is who you said you were obsessed with. They write and produce most all of their music. If you want to hear Felix's range listen to Deep End. It doesn't have an actual video, but it doesn't need it! They are amazing live! We went to Lollapalooza just to see them!

[@fanofvann]

Love stray kids for a long time. 2kids rooms and their other shows are so fun. They are best at transitions and visuals and music videos but it was their performance videos that got me hooked. Like em all

[@reenleong]

Thank you for the reaction to Stray Kids! And yes the boys produce and write about 99% of their music. The production subunit is 3Racha that consists of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. But all of the members have written lyrics for songs most that are solos or for subunits. Please definitely react to more Stray Kids 😊

[@samanthawheeler4190]

The part in LALALALA where you daid, "this is beautiful...wait no, scary!" Made me laugh so hard! The one you kept sayinf you were obsessed with his voice is Seungmin. We love him too!

[@elcheeere]

Thanks for reaction! Stray Kids are just gorgeous. I love and respect all of them, my biases are Minho and Changbin.

[@vlopezicyfox]

Stray Kids really does have it all! If you want to explore their softer songs I would recommend: Cover Me Secret Secret Twilight Levanter Other songs to check out: I Like it Chk Chk Boom Butterflies Case 143 Taste (This is a unit song with three of the members) Mixtape: Oh

[@claudialanzoni3933]

They are not only aggressive in their music.. listen to red lights, youtiful, there, love stay, your eyes. They are great ballads. And

[@natalie-t1c]

This reaction was great! Stray kids has many different sounds, if you are looking for softer melodies some songs I really love and recommend are, Leave, Cover Me, On Track, The View, Star Lost, Levanter, Collision, etc. my ULT bias is Bang Chan!

[@jennifer5362]

They have some very well written pretty songs also. My favorites are Blueprint, The View, LoveStay, Neverending Story, Haven and Scars. Anything Stray Kids does is good. That's six and the more I think about the longer the list could get.

[@alyen1004]

They have a wide variety of genres thorough their discography. There're a bunch of beautiful songs that really showcase their vocal such as: Waiting for Us, Cover Me, Ex, Twilight, Secret Secret... not to mention their solo songs

[@Mharkhark23]

You should listen to Cover Me by Stray Kids. It's got powerful vocals I think you'd like.

[@ericaniehaus7804]

There are so many great songs to listen too! My favorite off the latest come back is Twighlight and chick chick boom festival version. My bias is the Ace of Aces and our little Quokka Han! The insane talent he has at his age being able to write song lyrics and a song in 15 minutes.

[@supernerdural]

You mentioned how much Stray Kids love stay, you're so right! You should listen to the songs "#LoveSTAY" and "Youtiful" #LoveSTAY was released on youtube with a compilation music video, and it's so beautiful. You can really feel their sincerity in the lyrics they wrote Youtiful was released on the album 5 STAR (same album as S-Class) and Chan said that they wrote it because Stay always send them such beautiful messages and so they wanted to send a message back Both songs are absolute tear jerkers, they give me goosebumps! Also as a side note, I love that MEGAVERSE was included in this video, as it's the only B-side of the 4 you listened to. I love that Stray Kids often do music videos for B-sides, because they have so many good songs!

[@MemphisJagsfan]

If you like pretty melodies and even just softer songs, don't worry Stray Kids have you covered. You gravitated towards Seungmin throughout these videos. He was the vocalist you mentioned numerous times. You should check out their Kingdom performances. They were all live one-shot takes. Seungmin sings with a trio and they covered I.U.'s Love Poem. One of the best performances ever honestly.

[@nessa3406]

Some other suggestions are Lonely Street, Voices, Blueprint, Victory Song, Freeze, Mixed Tape Oh, Easy, Thunderous, and Back Door. Some Japenese titles to watch are Scars, Circus, The Sound, Top, and Slump. Neverending Story live is a great one to watch. They produce and write almost every piece of music the release.

[@kuroakikitsune]

Stray kids have a mix of genres. Their title tracks are usually more powerful but a lot of their b-sides have more softer/vocal songs. They are even better live (I've seen them 4 times and will be 5th time soon!) Miroh was one of my first stray kids songs and is still one of my absolute favourites. 3racha (chan, changbin and han) is a sub-unit and the producing unit of stray kids they write and produce almost every stray kids song, though all 8 of the members have written and helped produce music.

[@dmwilson3606]

Thank you for checking out Stray Kids. Love them. Loved your reaction and while I don't follow other kpop groups I hear from many multi stans and reactors that Stray Kids and their appreciation and relationship with Stays is special. Also, they have a lot of music which they produce it all and they love trying genres and mixing them so check out besides for more vocal based and solo songs too. If you share your journey, I'll definitely be watching!

[@lekafilmproduktion9421]

Oh you got the Felix-effect like MANY of us stay. He was my first bias 🥰

[@bethscarberry6845]

Welcome to stayville!! Have fun digging into their songs. Just so you know they write all their songs and produce them.

[@CallistoTheWarriorQueen]

So glad you enjoyed them. Also highly recommend Maniac, Back Door, Thunderous, Case 143, Red Lights, JJam, Mountains and Chk Chk Boom.

[@r.o.x.9589]

Stray Kids is the only kpop group I listen, I love them so much❤

[@StrayaGrrl]

For some videos focussed more on vocals, I'd recommend 2023: Leave (live performance) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHzPinisbdB0mpo 2021: Slump (Japanese version first take live performance) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iminimN8ja-JZ5o 2023: Cover me (lyrics video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4a6gGZ6gausqdU 2021: Winter Falls (Official MV) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWXUfGB9r96qqZI

[@karizi356]

My goodness, what an absolute adorable reaction video, I liked it so so so much. I’m personally not a huge fan of reaction videos where the content creator is screaming and jumping up from their chair, wandering around…your reaction was so calm and in awe and GENUINE. That’s what i really enjoy. I discovered Skz at the end of 2022 and it’s been a RIDE 😂❤ these guys make me so happy and their music is just amazing. Thank you for stepping out of your “comfort zone“ and giving our boys a chance. Welcome to Stayville, Baby Stay Dylan 🥰🥳

[@Skzzzzzz4everrrr]

I became a STAY just a few months ago and I love watching others getting to know Straykids and their incredible talents and personalities. Thank you for your nice reaction. I hope you will watch some more skz I would definitely recommend Thunderous and for a different vibe Cover me. Lots of love from Germany❤

[@marinakaratzoglou4298]

Lovely first reaction! Thank for being so open about their music. If you like vocals I suggest LEAVE, RED LIGHTS, LOSE MY BREATH and WINTER FALLS. All B sides but massive hits for STAYS. 😊❤️

[@amberbrown9542]

Wait no. I want more of your StrayKids reactions!! That was so wholesome! My favourite SKZ reaction yet! I hope you join us in Stayville, we'd love to have you here!!

[@roarilovejoy2415]

I just first want to say that I really enjoyed your reaction it felt so genuine and I can't wait to see you react to more!! Some of their other iconic music videos I would recommend are "back door", "maniac", and "thunderous". Since you mentioned you like vocal focused or softer ballad songs I would also definitely recommend b-sides like "Cover me", "Leave", "Twilight", and "Gone Away". also, you asked if they produced megaverse and yes they did!! On pretty much every single stray kids song at least one of them helped to make it :D

[@allyc3112]

Dunno if anyone answered you in the comments but the person you asked about at 13:44 is Seungmin and his voice is heavenly (he's my bias wrecker for sure). He's also simultaneously cute as a button but hot AF

[@ccgrey8731]

The guy at the end is Tablo. He is a rapper. There might be a collab with him at some point.

[@shaylatorch]

They write and produce ALL their own music!! So happy you're delving into STRAY KIDS! You can check them anytime you want, but you can NEVER leave!!!

[@Melzadawnz]

a softer sounding stray kids song that i absolutely love is Chronosaurus, it is an older one of theirs but the vocals are amazing! Some other softer ones that I haven't seen recomended are Deep End (Felix), Third eye, Astronaught and Maknae on Top (I.N). Some slightly more upbeat ones that are still good are Hall of Fame, Social Path (ft Lisa), and Side Effects Thank you for the reaction!

[@RobynMihandoost]

My biases are the Aussie boys, Felix and Bang Chan. Bias wreckers are Hyunjin and Changbin. The Felix Effect got me earlier this year from TT edits of reactors to his voice.

[@ashleyhufft6060]

Stray Kids live performances, dance practices, and relay dances are all great to react to. Felix's Deep End has no mv but if you watch the lyric video you will see exactly how much range he has. Fam and Stray Kids are great to react to, Fam bc it will give you a quick reference to each member and Stray Kids bc it won't resonate with you yet, but it references many of thei past mvs and is another love letter to Stay type song. Chk Chk Boom, Mountains and Jjam are the newest mvs from their most recent comeback and they are all bangers. District 9 is their debut song and Levanter and Side Effects are early mvs that stand out. Thunderous, Maniac, Easy, and Victory Song are some of the best to me. And last but not least, Bang Chan is my bias, he has the crystal clear vocals that you liked at the beginning of God's Menu. Thanks for the great reaction ❤ welcome to Stayville!

[@sofosuaridze2111]

They indeed are top 3 most popular kpop groups right now, please react to more stray kids❤

[@sandrakim3703]

Their latest success: Chk Chk Boom, please🥰🥰🥰
