They have said the only CGI was the helicopter in the beginning and, of course, the octopus. Everything else - fire, fireworks, car on fire flipping, Hyunjin throwing the grappling hook - all real.

[@J_One_Stay]

Stray Kids has 8 members ranging in age from 22-25. They're truly self produced, and have been since before they debuted. Every single song has their name on it, and most songs are written/produced by our genuises, 3RACHA (Our main rappers, and leader, Bang Chan, who can do everything) But every member has composing/producing credits. And they don't have an entire team to write a song like a lot of groups. Very few of their songs sound the same, and they always stay true to themselves. Our rappers are amazing but also have great vocals. They're truly one of a kind, and the only K-pop boy group I listen to bc of their unique sound and being self produced.

[@DZ-pu5of]

Stray Kids got me into k-pop, I actually never thought I could like k-pop music but I've been a Stay for months now and Skz is just full of surprises. I recommend "Maniac" "Venom" "Thunderous" "Topline" and "Freeze"

Yesss!! Stray Kids are fire. 🔥🔥🔥The most heavy hitting and rap intensive group out there, particularly on their title tracks. Though they do a ton of genre blending and really have a very diverse discography.

[@brendabeatrix]

Stray Kids is a self-producing group (Composing, Lyrics Writing, Arranging) Music (3RACHA)

[@tessanpalmer1778]

They have 8 members in this group and they are from JYP entertainment.

[@baybesimms14]

Thanks for checking out music by our boys!❤ in case no one mentioned it, Stray Kids fans are called "Stays", so they even mentioned us in the song when they said "stick around in the same place, Stay". The relationship they have with their fandom is more genuine than any ive ever seen before and comfortable with one another. Anyway, sticking around in case you check out more!🎉

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids. They are the best! They produce great music, and write great lyrics, and their MVs are amazing. Their vocals, dancing and rapping are also one of the best in the industry. If you enjoyed this video, there is a lot more to discover. I recommend Topline next.

[@Ms.Prince]

There’s nothing more exciting than witnessing someone’s into to Stray Kids, i promise you’ll find a lot of interest and love from their fan base, STAY This video made me subscribe, hope to see you dive in deeper to Stray Kids they have sooooo much to offer!

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

Straykids are my all time fave kpop group! Their leader Bangchan hand picked the members, which is extremely rare in kpop bcuz 99% of the time the company forms the group. StrayKids don't gaf about haters or following the mainstream. They create whatever they want and love to experiment with music and sound. They produce, compose and write their own music (also rare in kpop). So far they've created music in over 40 genres and have been classified as their own genre called mala taste. Mala taste is a Chinese term to describe a spicy, numbing hot soup. They mix in anything and everything in such a mind boggling and addictive way that you find them strange but addictive to listen to. Please keep checking out StrayKids. You won't regret it!

the explosions and fire was real, if you watch their making film, they WERE REAL

[@ayba9177]

Ohh you're in for it with Stray Kids in the best way! I found them almost a year ago, and they are all I listen to now! Their music can pump you up, make you cry, and everything in between! They came our with a new album (5-Star) in June and it's amazing. Topline has an MV that hits!!

[@ReapingWillow]

My ult is Stray Kids, hands down. (They are actually one of the best selling snd most popular srtists in the USA by the way.) They write, compose, produce, and even arrange all of their own music. And they sre considered to have the strongest rappers in all of the 4th gen... however even one of their main rappers is am extraordinary vocalist. Their music is VERY diverse, they are capable of very soft beautiful rock ballads... but they prefer the realm of hard rock im the dirst half of their discography, slowly transitioning to predominantly hip-hop and rap in the second half. While thier producing unit, 3RACHA, has always been a hip-hop crew. I also have a lot of love and respect for Seventeen (they are a 3rd gen group, whereas SKZ came years later and are 4th gen) in world popularity, they're tied with Stray Kids for the second most famous kpop groups in the world. And they are the best dancers hands down, as their ability to cordinate 13 people is off the charts. They were one of the first groups to truly make writing and composing all of their own music something to admire and be importantto the listener. They are incredibly talented. They have a very R&B × Rock N Roll type feel to them. Then, of course, Ateez, who are amazingly talented vocalists (the best vocalists of the 4th gen in my opinion) and who ALSO write and produce a LOT of their own work. (As you can see that is very important to me) they are also VERY high on the list of the most popular groups. And are quickly making a massive name for themselves with very heavy metal/rock type sound recently, which I must say, is working very well for them.

[@patriciamendes5174]

Thank you for your reaction. Stray Kids are amazing!!! The best M/V of the k-pop, The best beat and The best rapline. please react more stray kids. watch Topline, Freeze, Venom, Thunderous We love Stray Kids

[@oddsocks2]

This group is my ultimate kpop group. Period. They are so unique, all of them are so talented, they write, produce and compose their own stuff and truly all of them can do it ALL. On top of all that pure talent, they are truly lovely people and their bond is incredible. While their sound is very much a unique thing, they delve into dozens of genres and incorporate them to make new, refreshing sounds and honestly, they've never missed for me. I hope to see you dive into their (considerable) discography and take in more of their stuff.

[@Nobodys_Nothing]

SKZ is really the only K-pop band I stan. They just hit different.

[@thylionheart]

7:09 this part honestly cracked me up ‘cause if you ever get around to watching behind the scenes or humor compilations, you’ll find that a lot of kpop groups, but Stray Kids *especially,* are very affectionate and touchy with each other. They’ll hold hands, be clingy, hug, playfully/jokingly flirt, and compliment each other by calling each other “sexy” or “cute” or “cool.” Part of it’s a culture difference and part of it is that Stray Kids is a big dorky family and have lived together (previously all 8 in one dorm, now in separate 4-person dorms) for years. So brace yourself for some touchy-feely stuff if you do go beyond music videos😂

Fun fact about their music videos, most of the things you see were actually there. Here are most of the ones I can think of is S-Class. 0:59 and 8:47 That city and everything you see is actually real including the helicopter in the distance. They filmed that part with a drone, and they actually danced on a platform in the middle of the river. And the lights are actually there blinding anyone who walks by during the filming 1:58 and 8:40 They actually had fireworks set up to explode behind them 2:13 (I just find this one cool) the people and creatures you see there are actually there like the horse with the soldier 3:36 The area they're in: The only part that wasn't mad by the production team was the ceiling for which they just had a green screen (There are 8 members in SKZ (Stray Kids)) 3:57 and 6:52 the fire above them is tied to a drone 6:47 (I just find this funny) They danced with people dressed in all black staring at then dance while surrounded by fire 7:01 They had an actual car just set up. You can see it better here- 7:24 7:26 They actually set up a car to drop at an exact time while filming that part

[@kendrakey2495]

One thing I've learned about Korean culture is that the guys aren't worried so much about showing their affection to each other, just like girls here do. We only think it's weird bc we were raised to feel that way. They love on each other all the time.

[@kendrakey2495]

Also they're not like homies they're like brothers

[@thatstay3916]

You gotta check out their song Topline feat Tiger JK. Its their first time ever featuring another artist on their work and it is huge because Tiger JK is considered the godfather of korean rap/hiphop. He really shaped scene back in the 90s along side Yoon Mirae(his now wife who is half korean half black) and shes absolutely phenomenal too. Stray Kids really proved themselves to be the best of the best with this album. It got 5 MILLION preorders making it the bestselling album in korean history. And theyre only a 5 year old group. All with their own beats and own lyrics 7:13 In Korea and a lot of Asia (and Europe too) its actually the norm for guy friends to be a bit more touchy than in the US. Although Stray Kids are very cuddly dudes even within that if you watch the behind the scenes making of this music video specially youll see it right off the bat lmao. Theyre super close so they joke around a lot just a heads up for when u check out their other mvs and stuff

[@cbotenoodle]

Welcome to Stray Kids! All their songs and videos go that hard. And no one is writing this for them… 99% of their songs are written and produced by their rap sub-unit, 3Racha: Changbin (did the old school rap where you said he was the hardest in the group), Han (the one you called the Korean Eminem), and Bangchan (he provided vocals throughout and is the leader of the group). No one is better or more original in the K-pop scene. I see others already made great recommendations for what to check out for them next, so I won’t give you a list lol

[@qgAdelaide]

I can see there's a number of biased comments. Let me explain. Other groups also have great tracks, whether they produce themselves or by others. It's all comes down to personal taste. Stray kids are the only group that I follow. First, i like their sounds, and second, I need to curb the spending on albums so 1 group is enough. But mainly for their sounds 😅. Once you dive into their discography, you'll realise they do not sound like typical Kpop. Take care all.

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

I agree. I'm a huge Stray Kids fan and they are my ultimate group. But I like other K-pop, J-pop and C-pop groups because they all have different sounds, different personalities, different levels of rap / vocals / dance.

on the topic of hand holding, the culture is very different in Korea so holding your friends hand or doing things that would be considered "sus" in America are normal there!
