"Changbin is going hard on this" Let's be honest, when has he not going hard on something??

[@nereidagomez]

Yaaaassss

LOL TRUTH

[@tsuchan5828]

That doesn't sound right

[@moonjunhui13]

If you say that he never goes hard why keep lying? Lmao 😭 but his hair is SICK 😩

[@vitaelmy2865]

God's Menu and Back Door are totally different and I like that differences

[@Liz.2713]

In their vlive this morning, where they performed some of the songs. Felix said that song is about Stays having always Stray Kids there. He said something along the lines of “we will always have our door open” I guess they mean it in the way of forgetting your problems and have fun in a place you belong. Cuz in the beginning they’re talking about a party and entering from the back door. It’s like the main door is our life problems, it’s facing everything. So they say for us to come in through the back door and enjoy the party while we can. Does it make sense? Am I thinking too much?

[@katherinethompson3594]

That makes perfect sense!

[@Liz.2713]

Katherine Thompson Thank you :’)

[@terrykang6829]

your brain amazes me

[@zevinang2576]

Yes he said that they will always open the door for us,jst hearing that is enough...super happy😄

[@dirrty9387]

Why can’t y’all just listen to the song?? 😭😭 like not everything has to have a deep ass meaning

[@ella-pi2tk]

personally, my favourite part is the ending/closing where they return back to the groovy instrumental and have a small dance break. i don’t know why, but it’s just so clean, so satisfying, so pleasing to watch. it’s almost like we’re winding down slowly but surely from how hype we got just a moment ago, finishing it off cleanly, and finally shutting that back door.

[@MultiFandom8isFate]

Jeff? We prepared for it, (cries) WE ARE NEVER READY!

[@JeffAvenue]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

[@justinehercthehuman]

I waited for this reaction. Other channels are just random westerners using kpop fans' craving for validity. I watch Jeff's for choreo, reacttothek for music theory, and form of therapy for overall production.

[@autumnie0312]

Wow same

[@nathalie3601]

fr tho he's such an amazing dancer

[@ella-pi2tk]

that moment at 2:11 where seungmin and hyunjin point towards each other resembles the painting “the creation of adam” by Michelangelo !

[@ikhwanmauaja1184]

It's kinda direct reference tho

[@ella-pi2tk]

Ikhwan Mauaja yeah its basically the same ! what i mean was that i’m just not 100% sure if that’s the depiction that they or the choreographer was going for/intended :d

[@ikhwanmauaja1184]

@@ella-pi2tk okay. I understand. It's just that I feel the word "resemble" (as in coincidence) its not quite right, since they're definitely intended that

[@raychances6251]

Oh that's what it is! It looked familiar but I couldn't specify what it was, thanks lol (I always love dissecting choreos if I can)

[@Canon1791]

There's a lot of renaissance motifs in this video (the flower painting at the beginning with Lee Know, the flowers in vases throughout the main lobby(?) Of the museum they're in, the creation of man motif) which makes sense as renaissance is a rebirth which skz have described these two albums as...if that makes sense? Others have broken it down much better than me 🤣

[@alicehwang9266]

The end of the choreo reminds me of the Newsies cast coming out in pairs for their final bow, it was really entertaining. Back Door took a few listens to get into but I'm kind of falling in love with it lmao

[@JeffAvenue]

NEWSIES! YESSS

[@icequeendaine7890]

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought newsies!!

[@miam1237]

I thought of Newsies too at the end! And maybe also West Side Story? At least a tiny bit, and the song itself is also very musical theatry/broadway to me at certain points, like the buzzer and knoks straight up remind me of Book of Mormon and Hello!

[@lesserafimchangedmylife]

Me too!! I thought the drop was really out of nowhere like we saw it coming but not what u would expect. Now im kinda loving it a lot slcnsodp

i read this on twitter, they said in God’s Menu lyrics they said they dont have a secret ingredient but with Back Door... theyre like inviting us to come in if we really want to know whats their real secret

[@veryferal1970]

You really nailed it on the analysis of the message of the song, at least based on what I know. God’s Menu was always going to be really( really hard to follow up with how epic it is but I think this was a great next step.

[@katalinachatty4868]

Couldn’t agree more... I just couldn’t see how they were going to out do or at least equal

[@sarahb1851]

i am OBSESSED with this song. i literally can’t even count how many times i’ve watched it already lmaooo

[@siobhanjojein4305]

Jeff you have to watch their unveil performance in vlive..

[@rinchapter7559]

I came here to see if anyone told you but i didn't see any comments so I'll just say it: in last week's "Chan's Room" (his weekly live) Chan said that he saw that many channels were uploading reaction videos and then went through some of the titles. He also said "there is a performer reacting" in between. He said he watched many reactions and that he was going to watch more so I'm pretty sure he watched yours too! Congrats

[@prishakr1058]

The fusion between these 2 albums is just so amazing...this is definitely new for skz so it sounds amazing that they are able to pull it off...the dances for both albums next level as well

[@KupariPlays]

They really topped God's menu which I wasn't expecting as it blew me away. But everything about this is perfect and catchy and I have no words

[@rimaaouadi9092]

Now that song is amazing *one of my favourites this year along with easy* but God's menu is probably their best era ! I never usually get into groups because of an MV *it's usually shows or fun compilation* but i became a stay after watching the *teaser* of god's menu so i feel like that was a strong era in the whole kpop industry for real *and i have been a kpop stan since 2008*

[@malis.8625]

I don’t think anyone has suggested this yet, but Move by Taemin is one that I think would be great for you to do! It totally shook the whole kpop community when it came out. Also I love your reactions, it’s really cool to hear you break stuff down!

I agree. You need to listen to this song for around two to three times to really get into to it. Now that I'm into it, I can't get over it. I have listened to it around 40 times already. Send help. lol

[@dreifrancisco4332]

When you realized that its connected to gods menu, bcs on the end of the video they went to the exit door, which is obviously the backdoor to any place, really cool, oh and if you watch the MV of 19 (not noticing w00jin) you can see on the curtains in says "BACK" and has a legit door beside it.

[@han_jiji]

na minha pausa, eu vim aqui kssks estou dando views no back door ♡ Thank you for this video guy ♡♡♡♡

[@justinehercthehuman]

What I got from their music video: *Back door obviously refers to a VIP entrance for exclusive people which therefore tells us that there is something inside that is spectacular or special which needs to be hidden or protected from the common folk. SKZ is a group of idols which means they ARE exclusive people which means they have a ticket or are allowed to enter the back door. *HOWEVER! They choose to open it for other people as well. In the trailer they face two guards but also bring in other people who I assume are NOT allowed. Yet, they still choose to pull the lever to let them in. "You wanna come in?" is their line for people who WANT to. Which means it is an open invitation for all as they can just simply "knock knock" their way in. *Also, Notice in Changbin's part in the second verse where they kept on pulling the lever up while other Exclusives keep on pulling it back down. They represent the wealthy who are selfish and think so highly of themselves. Flashback to Miroh where SKZ went against the wealthy so that they can celebrate a party with the people. *Aside from Miroh, it especially has a connection with God's Menu. Remember that GM is a song about experimentation(construction site), creation(kitchen), and competition(race track). It was a song about how they are able to CREATE a newly EXPERIMENTED sound but still be able to win the COMPETITION. In Back Door however, Han sang that "Last time was just a warmup, this time it's for a real party". *Hence, we can say that SKZ is literally opening up an entrance that technically should only be for authorized people. They are opening it up for people in white hoods, the non-exclusives. They represent us. They represent STAYS. SKZ is letting us Stays enter their party, and join in the fun.

[@naly1915]

Here to support!

[@r.a.h1146]

I had a similar but slightly different theory. When I perform with the symphony or other artists, on performance nights all singers/musicians are assigned to enter the “backstage door.” Could the “back door” reference simply mean “We’re here, we’re ready as ready gets, it’s time so the audience is in for a treat.

what I like the most about this MV is that while it is grand it is also super fun and playful, funky etc. especially with the choreo, I think it is super unique like how God's Menu was in term of the references they used. It looks incredibly fun honestly! I think once you see the whole dance routine for yourself I feel like it'll have a better grasp on you. ( we got to see it on their vlive and it spoke volumes, at least to me) I always enjoy watching your reactions since you break down the choreo for us to follow and understand!

[@skyewalker5176]

Aaaaaahhhh you thought it was musical-like!!!! That's what I thought esp with the end of the MV where they have that 'dance break' and Felix does his little solo. It's almost theatrical. Also all the little interactions btn the members is more like musical choreo rather than the front-on, stage choreo that's more common in idol dances.

[@jaelespinoza5062]

[@Multibiatcheyy]

God's menu really sticks in my head but I would play back door more often cause it's not too intense. And this mv just had elevated elements of god's menu
