YESS. Bang Chan, the Leader, handpicked all the members by himself after being a trainee for 7 years! Along with other members - Han and Changbin, they produce and compose all their songs. Bang Chan was the one that formed their logo! That's why I love Stray Kids. Everything about them is so authentic, original and real 🥰🥰

Okay so because you mentioned this I have to share my story aswell. I discovered kpop through BTS during quarantine. And obviously like everyone I was super impressed and immediately became a fan. But I still was like "I'm only gonna check them out cause they're the biggest group". However due to various suggestions from friends and cousins I listened to more groups. Believe me when I say that in these last 2 years I have heard SO MUCH kpop and yet there wasn't another group as a whole that was impacting me as much. I had songs I loved but not a group that really caught my attention. I think one of the main reasons was cause when I discovered BTS the whole of Kpop was new to me. So everything kinda blew my mind. But with other groups I needed something crazy to amaze me. This is when Stray Kids came into the picture. And my GOD was I impressed. Their Rap, Vocals, Production, Lyrics, Sound, Style, Friendship and even their journey to becoming a group, EVERYTHING amazed me. Even though they are very popular and currently one of the biggest 4th gen kpop groups, I still agree with you that they are majorly underrated. With the quality of content they put out, they deserve a lot more recognition. I really hope you guys will check out more of their stuff. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Are their any other groups or artists you recommend outside of BTS and Stray Kids? We want to expand to more and would love your suggestions! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. - Mattie

You guys should definitely watch their newer stuff in their NOEASY album!! Also there are some good videos if you want to get to know felix (my bias) more like Felix is a cuddlebug etc. Also one of my fav duos now are hyunlix and there are some cute videos for those two as well. A couple other videos I can recommend are "felix's life is a comedy show", "felix is a disaster and that's why we love him", and a more in depth guide called "a detailed and helpful guide to straykids" :)

Hey same! I lost interest in kpop around 2016, and came back after discovering these kids last year haha

[@SuperFarhana11]

Hello baby stays! This is going to be a long comment hehe im glad you actually trying to get to know the kids! I was an ARMY too (sadly i dont vibe with bts anymore but i still love them) and one of the main reasons I got stuck with skz is bc of their similarities with bts in terms of music and talents. I can proudly say they are on the same level as bts when it comes to self-production. They literally produced 99% of their music. I'm not even kidding! The only songs I know they didn't produce are Going Dumb (a collab with Alesso and CORSAK), All In (JYP gave this to them and even waited for their response to see if the kids like it or not), and Neverending Story (a k-drama ost). Imagine their songs are over hundred right now and they only didn't produce in 3 of them?? crazy if you ask me xD Fun Fact: Lee Know was a backup dancer for bts! He was spotted a lot in their world tour :D and bts knows him too. I'm still hoping for more bts and skz interactions TT Since you've reacted to their "badass" side of music, maybe try to watch their other sides as well! Vocals: Neverending Story (LIVE) Soft: 24 to 25 Chill: Get Cool (MV) Funny: N/S (Street Ver MV) Hype: Miroh Visuals: Blueprint Again thank you for checking out skz! btw Bang Chan actually lurks a lot in reaction videos so who knows maybe he'll mention you guys on his future Vlives! I think he has mentioned the Classical musicians, the aussie metalheads, and many more! Muahh

[@lella1213]

OMG, so much to watch. They have over 100 songs, then they have their solo or subgroup projects, plus performances such as Kingdom. All they do is great. They are creative, talented, true entertainers. If you want to see amazing dancing watch Hyunjin Artist of the Month (October 2021); amazing rap, watch Changbin collab with Milli in Mirror Mirror; subgroup song, I recommend Red Lights; vocals, watch one of their Live One Take performances (you pick the song they are all good); you want to see them dance and sing live, watch any of their stages in Kingdom, you’ll love them. These are just a few examples, they produce so much content it’s hard to keep up with them.

[@chlaur3072]

So I just binge your stray kids reactions and I can already tell you guys are gonna be my new favorite youtubers from now on lmao You guys just seem so genuine and chaotic at the same time and it's so refreshing cause you seem to really WATCH the video rather than just skim through the whole thing. Rlly glad that you're getting into such an authentic group as stray kids cause they're the type of group that REALLY hits once you pay attention to them. (also, recommendation: you guys might wanna check out one of their sub-unit songs, Red Lights 👀)

[@hi-hx6eo]

All the members are extremely close and have different dynamics. Some pairs bicker and are really playful while other pairs are quite expressive and cuddly with the other members!! Since all 8 members are very different they all have different ways of expressing themselves for example felix is VERY cuddly and loves hugging anyone he can but Lee know (Minho) is not verbally affectionate and tends to tease other members a lot but its still clear he loves them! I would love to see more stray kids reactions ! For slower songs i would recommend winter falls, ex, gone away (only 3 members of the group sing this one), I am you, 19 and for more upbeat i would recommend different things depending on your taste in music!

[@kokitrees7394]

My first bias was Han, because the first performance I saw of them was a Domino one and I thought he had such amazing energy. After I got to know the group more they all kind of became my bias wreckers, but I'll still yell THAT'S MY BIAS when Jisung comes on screen

[@captaintuchy1612]

I'm both Stay and Army and I couldn't agree more with your comment about them. Like, I find it SO unfair they're underrated when they've mastered ALL the fields as artists. What comforts me is seeing them growing at such an incredible this past year thanks to his hard work and charisma. They're gonna be the next big thing, sooner than later. I'm so sure about it.

[@LeeKnow3rdEye]

Love you guys! As some of the comments have mentioned, Bang Chan hand picked them and so I think that is part of the bond and love they have for each other. BTS has been out (2013) for awhile and is considered 3rd generation while SKZ debuted 2018. March 25, 2018 to be exact. Important date and you will see it alot. If you are really interested in the music, my recommendation is to start at the beginning. You will see how talented they are to begin with and their growth. First album is Mixtape. This guide is good but I would recommend a different one because this leaves a lot out. Also, SKZ started with 9 and one left. SKZ has been redoing their old songs (album SKZ 2020 and SKZ 2021) so if someone asks to do the OT8 version, that is what they mean. It was reproduced without the 9th member. They are a amazing live performers and I feel are TRUE performers. Stray kids also have songs, dance solos on SKZ record and they have so much music because they do it themselves. I think they are loved truly but I always hear from international STAYS. Not sure how much in Korea. Lastly Bang Chan does weekly vlives Chans Room, where he talks with Stays and takes requests. Since they were in Dubai this last week, there wasn't one. The vlive usually gets posted on KZbin so you can find it if you don't have vlive. Also, they have a variety show called SKZ code.

[@staaa5531]

I’m excited to see your skz journey, in I honestly also agree that skz deserve to be well known because not only are they hard working men who do amazing songs, but they are relatable. I became a stay the beginning of 2021. Maybe y’all can check out a guide with more information, like how they were form and all. Either way, I’m happy that you like the boy and their music.

[@jules_the_stay]

I agree with the other comment that said they were laughing so hard at your reaction to jisung’s part despite watching it so many times before. I had tears and I’ve watched it so many times as well so I guess your laughter is contagious! Jisung is my ult bias because of his comedy, cuteness, rap tone and skill (I like his higher tone and how he changes his voice in his rap), ability to hit high notes (for example he sang Adele’s someone like you for karaoke on a live in original key), and overall sweet yet chaotic personality. He caught my eye from the jump too and watching more of the group just made me love him more so I’ve never escaped the vide grip he has on me lol. As I got into Kpop I had only listened to blackpink first and then Bts so I made a plan to listen to every single song of about 13 groups. Super dumb idea that took way too long and I only got through like 6 over the span of a couple of weeks. But anyway skz has an album called skz 2020 where the cover is just them looking up at the camera so I remember listening to their discography and being like “let me look at all of them and see if I can predict my bias.” For some reason my eyes kept drawing to Han so it’s so crazy that I got an instant bias based on a feeling before it developed into ult bias based on just his amazingness. Yes, one of the parts in lee know’s section was a ship of lee know (Minho) and Han (Jisung) named minsung. They are pretty well known as the most popular ship of the group. Lee know is actually my second bias because I love his sass, his falsetto is gorgeous, and he’s also so cute. He has a tsundere personality (cold/savage outside, warm/soft inside) but it’s pretty obvious he has a soft spot for Han as well as Felix and IN (who wouldn’t, they’re so cute). But I love all of them so much though because they are all so sweet, well rounded, and funny. I’m excited to see you watch more of them! Someone else already mentioned maze of memories as the song changbin was rapping to and I would very much like to see you react to that. Other than that I would also recommend the first take performances as other people have also said especially slump since that is one of my fav skz songs and it was written by Han. I’ve been obsessed with the scars first take lately though so that one would be my second choice. This was a super long comment but I’m sure every stay gets carried away talking about the kids ( I use that nickname like I’m not at least 5 years younger than them). I definitely have a habit of getting off track and ranting about unnecessary things excessively so sorry if some of this was TMI (like my bias origin story). But I love your personalities so much and again I am super excited to watch more of your videos! ❤️

[@MattieMaxOfficial]

I love this 🤍🤍 you’re so passionate about them and it makes me realize their effect on their fan base which honestly… just makes me love them more?

[@hitomi2oo710]

I'm always so happy when new people actually recognize SKZ music as valuable bc so many kpop fans call it noisy etc. 😭 They are called "stray flops" constantly and hated on as well. Can you imagine that haters buy Vlive SKZ membership just to go on Chan's Room Vlive's every week to say to his face that "SKZ disband" or call him "fat"!? They even insulted one of the members when he is their Leader and wants to protect them all the time 😭 I don't understand why they get all that hate when they are genuinely the same in front of the cameras as they are behind them. Even other kpop artists said that themselves. So really thank you for genuinely liking their music & their bond as a group 🧡

[@dafirey1]

Thank you for reacting the the KDZ. Watching them from their debut, still haven't been able to choose a bias. The group has some wonderful single projects through SKZ Player and SKZ Record. You could be at this a long time looking through their discography. There are well over 100 songs (actually more since NoEasy and Xmas EveL's release) out there to enjoy. And these 8 young men are very popular all around the world, literally. In the search area type in "reaction to Stray Kids" and you'll see how popular. Stay (the fandom name) love them because they spoil us with content and are genuinely caring individuals. The parts in the guide showing Chan (or Chani as most Stay call him) is from his Vlives. He has gifted us with almost weekly time and how could we not adore him. He accepts people no matter their ethnicity, religion, or gender identity. And they break the mold of what traditional Kpop has been. Oh just another thing. They were asked to be ambassadors at the recent Dubai Expo. Take a peek, their stages are here in youtube. Enjoy the Stray Kids journey.

For example, The Rose is an amazing band & I feel like nobody knows about them. Or Mr. Henry Lau who is literally a music genius (plays many instruments - violin, piano, drums, guitar, sings, dances, does amazing loop stations, he is a producer, composer & on top of that pure human being).

Also, has a video about 3racha, the skz production team (bangchan, changbin and han), It is documentary type and shows the whole "process" of the boys and how they handle it. If you want to know more about their music, you could start with their pre-debut album mixtape, follow I AM series, CLÉ series (they have ot8 vers of their songs in SKZ2020 and SKZ2021), next is GO live and IN life, finally it is his most recent album NOEASY, they also have japanesealbums and a special album for christmas I hope you have fun meeting this guys, they are such a goods persons, I really really love them

Hi! Love the reactions! I totally binged all the skz reactions you guys have. I consider myself as a fairly new Stay, I listened to predebut Stray Kids casually since my sister loves them but it’s only been recently that I’ve become a HARD CORE fan. As someone who understands the struggle on where to begin watching their content (since they have a lot). I recommend listening to NOEASY album. I think this album is a total no-skip for me, it shows a bunch of genre, and they have subunits in this album too. I highly recommend listening to EVERY song in the album regardless if they have an MV or not (most have an MV or dance practice), you’ll be missing out if you skip one. I already saw this from of the comments but it’s worth it to watch the long guide videos about them when you have time. I’m honestly still amazed by these guys even though I already watched plenty of it.

[@thoseeightlostkidsistg]

I don’t know if anyone has said this but you asked if there’s a sub unit.. 3RACHA- Bang Chan, Changbin, Han (producing team) DANCERACHA- Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix (dance team) VOCALRACHA- Seungmin, I.N (vocal team) They produced all of their song and there’s this playlist in their yt channel where they upload solo works, covers, more songs that are not in their albums. Called SKZ-PLAYER (with mvs) and SKZ-RECORD (without mvs) It will soon be on spotify.. Please react to their pre-debut song (Hellevator) and debut song (District 9) Thanks for reacting to them :))

Skz doesn't have official positions now bc all of them are versatile and can do everything. Of course they each have roles in the group but they no longer put main and lead positions.

i would say stray kids are very recognized but due to many scandals they aren’t appreciated enough

they have lots of contents, i personally love skz code and 1 and 2 kids room

Had to subscribe, you girls are so funny, love the reactions 👍 Up all night, all in, district 9, easy, victory song, slump first take, awkward silence.... List goes on... Enjoy

[@annafaun4311]

First of all Stray Kids are amazing. I've been into k pop for like 10 years by now..but i never felt such an emotional connection with any other bands. You better react to all of their art. To everything. Haha But also i just wanted to say that you girls are so funny to watch. Your comments and facial expressions are iconic i wanna continue watching your reactions so i hope your channel will keep going 😌

[@sierrawright5131]

He doesn’t have a KZbin channel. SKZ have a VLive account and Chan does weekly lives every Sunday and just talks and recommends songs. He speaks in both English and Korean during them so English speaking stays can understand him as well

[@bluepandastudioz]

Yeah. I agree. JYP don’t promote their boybands that well or at all. They’re so talented! I dont understand why they aren’t recognised more. Fun fact: there is a stray kids survival show that i recommend watching! (Bring tissues)

I am soo excited to see your next reactions to them, there's a lot of stuff but it's worth it lol and about chan and felix's friendship, they are reallyyy close, them refer to themselves as soulmates 😭😭 (even tho they're close with everyone cause both of them just love physical contact lmao)

My boys 🤍 I love the inner band relationships so much, it’s so cute how much they all love and support each other. Is there a specific video you would like us to watch?? Thank you so much for watching! - Mattie

@@MattieMaxOfficial actually yess, if you want to see more of their bond and how much they care for each other i would recommend this video called "stray kids being a family for 18 minutes" here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnqopWhsg7aXocU

[@MattieMaxOfficial]

@@wfusnana thank you!! I’ll definitely have us react to that soon!

[@MaliaRaeC]

So happy y'all are loving these boys!! Here's a few video recommendations and extra info.. Music videos y'all should check out: Stray kids "Thunderous", Stray kids "Backdoor", and Stray kids "Miroh." They also have softer songs such as "Blueprint", "Levanter", "awkward silence", etc. Next, there are 3 sub-units in Stray kids. 3racha, danceracha, and vocalracha. 3racha includes Bangchan(Chris), Changbin, and Han. Danceracha includes Leeknow, Hyunjin, and felix. Vocalracha includes Seungmin, and I.N. They also post on their youtube content called "SKZ-PLAYER." This is extra content they put out for stay. You can look forward to all the sub-units contents such as songs, dancing,etc. Some SKZ-PLAYERs I recommend are "Hyunjin "Play With Fire (Feat. Yacht Money)" (원곡 : Sam Tinnesz)", "Bang Chan, Changbin, Felix, Seungmin "오늘 밤 나는 불을 켜"....Theres wayy more skz players so please check them out lol. (Also, please support Hyunjin' October artist of the month on studio choom!! link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/il7Em3uMqLKWgc0 ) In addition, here's a few extra content such as interviews, funny compilations, and live performances I request to help you all get to know the members and fall even more in love with them: "Stray Kids Reveals How Their Friendship Has Changed Since Their Debut | Then vs. Now | Seventeen", "Stray Kids Vs. Google Translate ( K-Pop Stars React)","❤ 2020 Stray Kids(스트레이키즈) Stage Compilation I KBS WORLD TV", and "2021 Stray Kids was the most chaotic yet | (2021 skz rewind)." They also have their own little "reality show" lol called "SKZ CODE" This is their little show that I HIGHLY recommend to see their chemistry and also get to know them more. I hope this gives you guys a few more content to react to and I hope your love for the boys continues to grow. They are genuinely the most precious people ever!! Have fun!

[@nataliadechamps3351]

ok so here are some songs I recommend: - Miroh - Neverending story - drive - TA - Back door - side effects - levanter - double knot - silent cry oh yeah you could aslo watch their amazing kingdom performances like "i'll be your man" ,"god's ddu-du-ddu", "miroh", the "side effects" one and "wolfgang" !!!! thank you for the video!! :)

[@moonrider3571]

why are they not as famous as bts? well first of all they are a 4th gen group. If I remember correctly they debuted in 2018 and BTS was debuted in 2013 so there is 5 years of difference. In my oppinion they are actually really famous in their own generation so please dont compare them with BTS or other older groups and please dont compare older groups with newer groups. as a kpop fan since 2012 I can say that things were really different back then ( social media, performance stages, freedom that kpop groups has, ways of interact with fans, knowledge of kpop in general, rules of companies etc) So, everything changed and changing still, lets not compare groups but love them as they are. Note: if you like cats you'ld love Got7 too. one of the members has 3 or 5 cats and ( I dont remember well sorry) and once he asked what was the most expensive thing that he bought for his pets he answered " a house" because one of the members has cat allergy so he basically moved on for his cats.

[@tsukishirou]

good question, probably because people jump into the bandwagon when anything goes viral (not to discredit any other groups but i think you’d get what i mean) so when one thing went viral everyone just focus on that one thing and not giving the chance for other things in the similar field, if that makes any sense? but i’m glad you enjoyed watching this, hope you’d react to more SKZ stuff

[@krissie8393]

To hear the duality of their voices I would suggest District 9 the debut song when there was 9 of them then 24 to 25 which is a song made for the fans and has a lot of the ships in it because Bang Chan knows all and sees all lol my personal favourite song is Side effects some of my favourite dancers are Voices special video and Scars (there Japanese release) dance practice 😁

[@Maarialuizaac]

About they not being as much recognized as BTS, I think that''s a matter of time, I really see the same qualities in both groups with talented producers, singers, rappers and dancers but Stray Kids is a much younger group and they just started breaking out internationally the last couple years Really hope you guys continue on the SKZ journey

[@naranna2633]

[@JMRM1925]

I recommend Back Door which is a single and Up All night it's one of their spoof songs yes they make spoof songs for fun.

[@JMRM1925]

You may like Domino as well watch the MV and dance practice for that one they got skills. To explain why they aren't as popular, my guess is that they are a 4th gen group that have only been around a few years and BTS is a 3rd Gen group that have been around since 2013 and have a large discography BTS are Thier seniors in the industry. But like BTS they have had a larger group of international fans thank Korean fans in the begining I can't speak for now, as this Noesy Album has done very well.

[@cellelcelina]

Thanks you for the reaction 😊😊😊😉💕

[@thatstay3916]

Its funny that you brought up bts during Minho's part because he was actually a back up dancer for bts before he became a trainee! You can see him front and center during their Wings tour, a couple music videos and a couple live performances!

[@noeasycat4348]

I’m going to leave a comment with replies as if I was your friend irl and these are the comments I would make. 5:08 just wait until you see Chris in the Wolfgang performance on Kingdom lol 5:35 a lot of stay make kpop fan edits on tiktok and twitter of Lee Knows cats 💀 it’s so funny, says a lot about the fandoms humour 9:05 I think 2022 is gonna be stray kids year. It took them a year to get a single win for a song on those chart shows. It seems that they have a bigger international fandom than domestic but everything is changing. God’s Menu absolutely blew them up yet it didn’t win a single award and right when they started promoting more in America, covid hit. But Stay are very lucky that they give us so much content and give us songs and MVs on youtube that aren’t even official songs released 😩 stray kids may not have the recognition they deserve yet but 3racha are the most credited youngest artists in Korea with all 3 having at least 100 credits (writing/composing/producing). 13:41 Tell me about it I’m literally gay but these boys 👀 17:44 they’re all genuinely so close, there are so many ships and they ship each other. Felix recently in a seventeen interview said he and Hyunjin are a couple bc they have matching rings 🥺 they all love each other so much but nobody love Felix as much as Chris does. 21:40 Jeongins face here kills me! He really goes 😀🙁🥺😄

[@stayandpotterhead586]

I think the reason that they aren’t as popular is because they are newer. They only got together in 2018 whereas bts got together in 2010 so they have had more time to build up their fandom

[@alexabrainard7529]

For solo things I recommend watching the skz record and skz player videos they are new songs or covers that they wanted to give us and currently they are only on KZbin but they’ll be releasing an album of them sometime this year! (We’ve been asking for this album for so long and now we’re getting it) also I highly recommend watching hyunjins artist of the month video

To be fair Changbin is widely recognized as the best rapper of 4gen kpop and one of best in general. I've never heard anyone denying that skz have the best rapline. Only two of them don't rap and not coz they can't.

[@MattieMaxOfficial]

The flex 😭 is there a rap compilation video for him that you recommend for us to watch!? - Mattie

[@watakko9348]

I would recommend looking up lee know videos, he's extremely loveable :') He's rescued 2 of his cats, advocates for homeless animals (especially cats), will usually wear clothing/accessories from different charities which makes fans buy from the charity as well, loves cooking, vlogs about his cats & food, reminds his fans to eat 2-3 times almost every single day (& sends a goodnight text every day), likes doing cutesy things, terrible at ball sports but randomly good at everything else (loves to cheat in sports/games), absolutely kills girl dance covers (rec checking out this small dance cover, mans thriving: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzRpmSXftyNkNk ), really good dancer in general. Was a professional dancer before skz. Sassy as hell & will choose violence. Basically he's a whole mood for any cat/animal person ❤️ Imagine toxic masculinity and then picture the pure opposite and you'll have lee know (& the other members tbh, they're all great like that 😂) Also yup minsung is the most popular ship in the fandom. They call each other jagiya & soulmates, and are basically glued together. They without a doubt love each other a shitton (altho in which way is none of our business, either way makes me feel single as hell 😂) so it's a cute duo to watch! Shipping is usually taboo for me because they're real people, but skz has said shipping them is fine & often encourages it, hyunjin even said he watched ship vids of himself and seungmin for 2 hours once bc he couldnt stop 😂😂
