KPOP NEWBIE REACTS to Stray Kids' "거미줄(VENOM)" MV | FIRST TIME REACTION

Y'ALL. the title of the video wasn't too misleading, was it? so I technically know the song, but the music video was entirely new to me.
like I mentioned in the video, PLZ give me any and all recommendations that you all have as it pertains to "must listen to" stray kids' music, as well as other k-pop groups that I should get into. because again, I know nothing when it comes to k-pop.
like, comment, subscribe, whatever else :)
thank you for all the support!

Edit: His first name is Minho, Lee is his last name, but in their culture, last name goes first, so his name is Lee Minho. His stage name is Lee Know. You'll sometimes hear it as "E-Know", because the letter L is often silent or pronounced as an R. In Japan for example, he is Reno (I don't believe there is a letter L in Japanese, but don't quote me). You can call him Minho or Lee Know, most STAYs will know who you're talking about. I believe he went with the stage name because their was already a famous person with a name similar, if not the same to his.

Yes, there is a v. cute Korean actor named Lee Min-ho who starred in the Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers". It's a pretty solid live-action adaptation and he has great chemistry with the female lead who is pretty funny.

I was a directioner too omg! And I'll be honest, after 1d's "hiatus" I thought i was done with boy group stuff and i never thought I'd get into kpop untill Stray kids.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

!!! this is exactly me. i feel validated 🤣 i've entered my second phase of being a fangirl

[@KateyandNate]

Also, since you love Seungmin’s voice (as do I!) make sure you watch his recent show “ Song By”, there are 2 episodes so far as it’s so good!

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

!!! i've saw those posted but haven't watched them yet! i've have been avoiding so i can react 🙏🏻 thanks for the comment!

[@KateyandNate]

I was similar to you, I knew nothing about KPop and then got into Stray Kids, and binged as much of their KZbin as possible. I did recently decide to branch out into more K-pop and find that I enjoy Ateez and TXT as well so that would be my recommendation I suppose 😂

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

ah! we've been going on the same journey! love it

[@justarandomfan88]

9:31 sameeee 😭 he is seungmin

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve been a stay for two years and I would say I listen to other groups more casually. Kingdom Legendary War was a tv competition show between 6 male kpop groups(Stray Kids, ATEEZ, BTOB, The Boys, SF9 and IKON) and it’s a great place to watch Stray Kids perform but also get to know some other groups. I recently checked out some P1Harmony songs which I also enjoyed but haven’t quite fallen down the rabbit hole yet but I recommend checking out their song Killing It. 😉 Enjoy your journey.

thank you for the comment and recommendations! i appreciate it :)

20:37 those aren't short pants...there's strings that lace the top and bottom together. You can see it easier when he's seated in the beginning.

Last comment, probably lol. "Title Track" refers to the main single from an album. "B Side" are the songs released after the title track. For example, Venom, is actually a B-Side, but it's SKZ. They often release a ton of videos, even for their B Side. There are even more gems with the tracks that don't have an MV. "Bias" is your favorite, "Bias Wrecker" is the one who is almost your bias, sometimes becoming your new bias. I am OT8, meaning I adore them all fairly equally, but if I had a bias, Lee Know and his personality wreck me constantly. Got to see them in concert once and HAN is even more impressive on stage. He was born to perform. I don't know if you know, but SKZ are unique in KPop because Bang Chan got to pick the members, 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN) was already formed before SKZ, so they've been creating their own music even before debut. They write, produce etc. This was fun to watch!

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

ohhhh i did not know that about "title tracks" or "b-side". thanks for letting me know! (lee know wrecks me as well, you're not alone)

[@sabs_1108]

Pre-debut stay here.. it was fun to watch your reaction ❤ OT8 bias but Chan ult❤ (i think the explanation of ult is the member how will never get wrecked by anyone)

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

hi 👋🏻 i'm glad you enjoyed the video. i wish i could also call myself a pre-debut stay, but it's better later then never! OT8 bias unite! 🤝

[@sabs_1108]

@hunterashley-musicreact definitely sweetheart.. welcome to stayvill...welcome to the rabbit hole 😅

[@Tristana.Keauna]

I was wrong, this is really my last comment. Where to go from SKZ? I don't know. I've been in this rabbit hole of theirs since 2022. I got into KPop through BLACKPINK, their music videos were just so vibrant and the beats went so hard, but once I heard "MANIAC" by SKZ and saw Hyunjin dance... this is where I live now. STAYVILLE is my home. I do have a couple of songs on my SKZ playlist though that aren't SKZ. "Wonderland" by ATEEZ, "Sugar Rush Ride" by TXT (Tomorrow X Together) and "SHEESH" by BabyMonster (I just really like the MV).

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

thank you for the recommendations!

[@carolvanessa6054]

I'd recommend BTOB, they're an older group but they have great vocalists, you might like them :)

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

thank you for the comment and recommendation!!

[@jessdanowski3516]

Since you love SKZ… try Monsta X they are 3rd gen debuted in 2015 where SKZ debuted in 2018. They have insane vocals and completely disgusting rappers (in the best way possible). I’d start with Shoot Out, Alligator, Love Killa, Gambler, Rush Hour, Love, and Beautiful Liar❤ After that I’d check out Ateez who are 4th generation. My favorites are Say My Name, Crazy Form, Bouncy, Siren. If you want a a group with a more grunge rock feel check out The Rose. Favorites are Back to Me, She’s in the Rain, and Sorry.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

thank you for these recommendations!! i appreciate it

[@RahyeChoi-vz9tr]

Omg I js reacted to ur a silent voice I didn't realize you would listen to my literal fav kpop group do freeze next plzzz it's so good and then you gotta do a guide I will follow this skz journey till the end sorry I'm a fan boy of skz they saved me

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

woah, that's crazy!! welcome to this channel! i love SKZ. i don't think i'll be doing a guide because i feel like i know a lot about them, just haven't listened to all of their songs. but there will be plenty of SKZ reactions on this channel, don't worry 😉🤣

[@Tristana.Keauna]

Question? So when you say you've gone through 4 years of SKZ youtube content, are you just talking about their music or ALL of their content, because you're right, there is a LOT of it. Welcome to KPop, and SKZ! (also you may have answered this in the video, I'm only 5 minutes in).

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

i definitely have not gone through their music-- i actually skipped a lot of that knowing i would want to react to it. but i've gone through the SKZ-TALKER and vlogs and such!

[@Tristana.Keauna]

@@hunterashley-musicreact I love SKZ Code myself. It's so chaotic and funny and is how I came to just know their personalities. I think that's something many outside of KPop don't understand. It's not just the music. It is an entire entertainment industry. And they're often in touch with their fans.

[@hunterashley-musicreact]

@@Tristana.Keauna absolutely! that was one of the craziest things to me coming into kpop-- the way that it's all entertainment-based, not just music-based. I've seen some SKZ code but not all of it (I've avoided the recent stuff), and I plan on reacting to some of those as well!

[@Tristana.Keauna]

@@hunterashley-musicreact oo I'm excited about that!
