Stray Kids - Catch Up Marathon! (SCARS, Hyunjin Artist of the Month, and more!) | REACTION

[@jojo.joanna]

The fact that Scars was written at the end of 2019 makes it hit so much harder

[@jojo.joanna]

And yeeeees Seungmin has absolutely blossomed since Kingdom and I'm so happy to see his hard work paying off and being acknowledged, even with an OST :)

[@nomnomduder]

hyunjin's artist of the month performance was sooo good. there's a lot of krumping and krumping inspired elements in it and he does it all so well. the skz song camp series shows how they came up with their unit songs, the first three episodes are for the individual units and the rest are some behind the scenes stuff for planning and making the mvs.

[@bndgtujfufu]

If you want to catch up on more Skz, they went 3 times to sing on the First Take. It's always a blessing to our ears.

[@jojo.joanna]

This video really does feel like a spiritual successor to I Am You, Voices and I just adore their more emotional tracks and how it gives the MV's a chance to showcase the more raw side and "brotherhood" moments between them

[@dreamy_mary]

30:16 not sure about Han's supposed 'aesthetic' tbh. he usually writes songs based on his feelings and experience. 'melancholic boy' is a part of him. 'Secret Secret' was written in the end of 2019, that period of time was tough for him, and through the lyrics he expressed emotions and thoughts he had... If I'm not mistaken, Slump and Another Day were written around the same time, maybe a bit earlier. btw recently Han appeared on the Plit segment, and thanks to that we can say that his playlist includes lots of rock and hip hop music) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbGqGWcjMl9fsk

[@taylorm3529]

Scars really gave such a nice call back to the older skz universe mvs! Loved it!

[@l.c.6282]

I’d love to see Hyunjin dance with San and Wooyoung; the combined talent.

[@mur5106]

"So many people died watching this" TRUE. I'm one of them Hyunjin is The King.

[@galfilly]

recently found your channel- love your in depth thoughts about everything from lyrics to performance to story to music! Really enjoying your point of view. As someone who also LOVES the sad-boy-melancholy-vocals thing, I particularly love your taste in music and seeing all your reactions to groups and bands like Hoppipolla, Young K, Lucy, F.T. Island, and also, of course, Stray Kids. For some reason it's easy for me to find reaction channels for the super hard, hype, hip-hop parts of SKZ, but so far more difficult to find satisfying reactors to the deeper, softer, more soulful side of SKZ, so thanks for filling that niche in SKZ reactions!

[@KpopPrince]

Thank you so much for the appreciation!

[@Gray.Karen333]

I never clicked on a video so fast!! A catch up video on SKZ? YES PLEASE!!! I love your thoughtful commentary on your reactions!! Also YES!!!! You are the first reactor that I've seen that commented about the Miroh city possibly being in the Scars MV. That was literally the first thing that I thought when I first saw the Scars MV, I was like, "Wait, is that the city from Miroh???"

[@MultiFandom8isFate]

I love you and your views by the way. And regarding Scars, it does show their past struggles and therefore referenced their old MV's as this is also connected to their storyline. 😅

[@kimy000]

I literally looked up for your channel for skz rxns recently and wondering when and why we haven’t had one in so long!! and I’m so glad I’m getting a feast with this! ah so excited to watch this already!

[@MommaJB]

Love your reaction and your extensive knowledge. Finally joined your Patreon sorry it took me so long !

[@KpopPrince]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@MemphisJagsfan]

The "logo" at the end of Scars is literally the word Scars spelled in english. Read from top left to bottom right at a diagonal.

[@LessOfKnight]

thank you for reacting! always love your reactions

[@oranguchang]

You're the first person to point out that Hyunjin's AOTM styling does make him look like an ATEEZ member from Hala Hala era. The backup dancers are styled similar to the KQ Fellas outfits. I always love your takes. I agree he would have murdered Kingdom.

[@G.Lollie]

Thank you. Love the reactions and agree that I wish more people would get into stray kids because they are so amazing. Most of my fam won't even listen to kpop because of the normal reason language. It makes me so mad but then I feel like your loss baby because kpop in general is so good. Hell half the time you can't understand what's petty is singing about but we still listen and like his music. It's not just music but the entertainment factor with kpop. So different. Don't get me wrong I love most all genres and different culture or instrumental music. From Bing Crosby to hard rock I love it all. But stray kids has my heart now. ❤

[@marschaulk6632]

Scars was written at the end of 2019 (as we all know that was the hardest year for SKZ) backstage at Music Bank during their promotions for Levanter (if I'm not mistaken - I'm pretty sure that's what they were promoting). It's all about the trails and tribulations the group went through - pre debut to debut, to a few years into their career. It's such a sad but also uplifting song

[@debbieann410]

Wowww my favorite song in 1 reaction, love ittttt ❤️

[@starmyatiny5031]

Actually God's Menu Backdoor and All In had connections to the storyline.

[@danielamartinez9175]

Yeah, but I don't know how to connect Thunderous 💀

[@KpopPrince]

How?

[@bbokaribae]

Hmm, I thought I heard Chan say that God's Menu was the start of a new storyline where SKZ introduce their menu to the global audience or something like that... God's Menu and Back Door are connected for sure, but idk about All In? Now I gotta re-watch Bookish Theories.

[@julieduong6571]

Gone Away= give them Acting roles Y E S...🙆‍♀️💜

[@imchangbinsfiona]

22:22 in that part, han is representing the point of view of the upset side while jeongin is into expressing sadness. that's why the way they deliver it is different

[@creaaampaan6244]

So if you ever wonder Mv that has connection: On track > B me > Oh Gone away not actually have connection but thank u for your reaction! I really enjoy it 😆

[@amseo2554]

Loved you reaction so much

[@Ribixxa]

you should check OH and Scars first take versions. Their live vocals are cheff kiss. And scars have subtitles in first take :3

[@uunuuliebeleben9323]

Cool, their songs are so meaningful. Still, I love to listen to every song of them.

[@zcst4eva]

"Gone Away", "Surfin'" and "Red Lights" were unit songs that were also part of a the Song Camp series that they filmed. (Here is the link, definitely worth a watch if you are interested in how they all approach songwriting. kzbin.info/aero/PLtFPYOZOw-taeniJbihCI4lqpSAgxunbj ) The first 3 episodes were the different units separating to work on their tracks and then the last 2 episodes were them coming together to discuss their tracks, plan out the MV's, and film the MV's. They did all of the work from writing the lyrics to letting the MV Director know how they wanted the MV's to be filmed. "Surfin'" is GREAT as an MV, but you're right, it's not my favorite song to just play in the background either. "Gone Away" is NOT connected to the SKZU but it totally could be. As for "Scars", that is most definitely connected and I think you pointed out some things that connect back to previous MV's that I missed. Not sure if you've heard Changbin's "Cypher" but his & Hyunjin's first verses are straight out of that... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIXUiaN8mchqpK8 Looking forward to more Stray Kids reactions! Can't wait to see what you think of "Christmas EveL" and the other 3 tracks!

[@dafirey1]

Thank you your your reaction to the KDZ. Their depth if music is remarkable !

[@SJStarz]

To answer your Han question - Han did an interview fairly recently where he played a bunch of songs off his playlist and typed up his thoughts about each one while he listened to them! It's a very chill "interview," I really loved the format. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbGqGWcjMl9fsk

[@seungjin4life711]

I've been watching skz reaction to scar and your the first one who notice that the filming set, mv scene are similar to their older mv.

[@actiniumv1986]

They performed Secret Secret live!! Should watch it ❤️

[@fran_tbh]

Okay this is like suuuuuper late so you probably won’t see it but they have got a small current storyline for some besides! Mixtape: On Track > B Me (only an Unveil sadly but you can get more by watching the MV making) > Mixtape: OH > The View, with lots of theories on potentially Winter Falls and Ex also being a part of the storyline! Hyunjin recently reacted on his voice only vlive so it blew up my tl with theories haha, I recommend watching the MV’s in that order and see what you think! Just a bit of fun

[@fran_tbh]

B-sides* not besides oops

[@KpopPrince]

I see all 👀

[@fran_tbh]

👀👀 also I just rewatched Winter Falls and it definitely fits in there somewhere bc of the camera

[@natachacute]

The logo is written in Japanese by 소리꾼 (Thunderous)

[@seungjin4life711]

stray kids are travelling to different parallel universe, first through elevator eversince they burn the helevator in Levater they are now using a Door and Keys to went to other parallel universe.

[@sisilyulianti8148]

Thank you for the reaction. I recommend you to watch The First Take version of Scars and OH. I think you will like it. Their voices in the First Take still hit different for me...

[@bbokaribae]

Han said that he wrote Secret, Secret to let the listener know that he understands what it's like to have a secret like in the lyrics, aka sadness/depression/etc, he's been there with us. I think it was written around the time he took a hiatus in like 2019? SKZ said somewhere that Silent Cry was a response/follow-up to Secret, Secret.

[@Notanymore343]

Scars is part of their lore, so everything is related as you probably guessed by Chans reaction to I.N (the whole I.N is not the real I.N storyline). It was also shot in the same place as Voices.

[@CambriePaige]

I feel like everyone is a huge sucker for Hans vocals 😭

[@Taylor-hb2cx]

Gone away is not a part of the alternate story line. It was a new story made for the unit song.

[@scarrletbegonias]

Sorry I'm so late to the conversation (I just found you) and it might be an unpopular opinion but I appreciate that other members had a chance to shine brighter in Kingdom. Of course, it would have been better for all 8 of them to be there but almost every group was missing someone for one reason or another.

[@chertilovna]

Спасибо за реакцию! Никогда ещё не встречала человека, который буквально озвучивает мои мысли) Ну и стрей кидс как обычно заставляют сердце биться чаще.

[@lyandaespadas]

I think you are thinking about The View. The View is connected to the Mixtape storyline.

[@arimarchan5491]

You should listen to the first take/live :))

[@mybiasjisoodekumyheart2742]

[@hannielili1578]

a member of WHO? 🤣

Mirror mirror reaction?

[@KpopPrince]

I listened to the song and it is really not for me

[@amseo2554]

@@KpopPrince I see it is not for everyone. But Changbin's verse is soo good

[@KpopPrince]

Yeah we just need to distill his verse from the rest of it 😅

[@rumahlegginganak9605]

Yes...He is Hyunjin from Straykids and he perform like Hyunjin from Straykids...He is not like ABCD Boygroup member. He perform to the concept. Demonic facial expression doesnt belong for one group.

[@bp0719twenty]

HWANG HYUNJIN from Stray Kids. You know his name and group. Stop saying he looks like he’s a member from another group. i dont know how you even came up with that.

[@KpopPrince]

lol what

[@rumahlegginganak9605]

I agree with you

[@rumahlegginganak9605]

@@KpopPrince I love watching all ur reaction.but please hyunjin is skz and not look like other bg member.

[@srgtsavvy8287]

@@KpopPrince No hate it’s just a bit questionable how his look, his own face and appearance, was credited to separate people.

[@fartherthantomorrow7444]

"member of atz" WHO? he's HYUNJIN, not "like a member from atz". It's just questionable, instead of just appreciate him as HYUNJIN, you choose to say that he's similar to a member from other group.

[@KpopPrince]

You've lost the plot, my friend

[@littlehyune]

@@KpopPrince explain yourself then...

[@KpopPrince]

ATEEZ is known for their demonic facial expressions and demeanor, which is similar to the expressions shown here by Hyunjin along with how he's styled being reminiscent of "Wonderland" era. It ain't that deep, kids.

[@littlehyune]

@@KpopPrince Kids? Um, ok? Lol so... you said he looks like a member of that group just because his facial expressions, even though he is known for that, and for his clothes? LMAO

[@KpopPrince]

You've got the logic of a child, expect to be treated like one

[@srgtsavvy8287]

Why an ateez member? That’s a first

[@rumahlegginganak9605]

It confused me too

[@claudechannel13]

Seungmin indeed flourish and really makes me so proud of our main vocal 😭🤍
