Reacting to STRAY KIDS "Miroh" M/V - a great chorus

[@deeception3096]

Miro is Korean for maze. They added the "H" to the end of the word to say that this new world they are entering has the potential to be "heaven or hell" depending on the choices they make and the paths they take. The Cle series (aka the Key series) pulls from a few notable works of literature, mainly the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. The second album, Cle 2: Yellow Wood, directly pulls from the poem's line "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both". This series focuses on choosing the more difficult path (the authentic path) and exams what that choice may uncover (both good and bad). Additionally, the hunt for "the key" to solving the maze, and what that key truly means.

[@something.5769]

Ah yes, Miroh! :D The 'I am' trilogy has now ended, and now we step into the 'Clé' trilogy (Clé 1:MIROH , Clé 2 : Yellow Wood and Clé : Levanter) Miroh is a very important song for Stray Kids and stays! They got their first win with this song (their 3rd comeback, abt a year after debut)! It was so emotional 😭 Funfact: They got got their first win on April 4th 2019 aka 4/4/2019. They actually had a song called 4419 released in their predebut album 'Mixtape' which is such a fun coincidence 😂 Miroh means "maze" in korean! The album, 'Clé 1 :MIROH' is one of my FAVORITES from them, we got so many gems! You already reacted to Miroh and Victory song, the other songs on this album are Boxer, 19, Maze of Memories and Chronosaurus! 'Boxer' has what we call a 'Street version' video, which is basically Stray Kids filming a video themselves in public spaces, on the streets 😂 It's so fun, you really get to see their personalities shine! The song is great too! 😂 I believe I talked about '19' before in another comment, I'll just say it's very different from what you've heard so far! The lyrics are very great too, Han wrote it afterall! 😂 'Chronosaurus' is a song I very much like and it also has an MV! Chronos is the greek god of time, so the song is essentially about time, presented as a dinosaur/monster. Kronosaurus was, I believe the name of one of the scariest dinosaurs residing in Australia. It's about the fear and anxiety of being chased by time ;) 'Maze of memories' is one of Stray Kids' heavy rap songs (the song is actually ALL RAP, each and every member raps on it!) Very interesting for sure! :)) You might get to some of these songs eventually 🤷‍♀️ Looking forward to your next reactions! I love the "I'll be your man" performance so much, I can't wait to see your reaction! 😊

[@ladykatza]

I honestly can't wait for you to get to their stage performances. When they do concerts or large outdoor venues they use a live band and it gives them much more of a "Rock Stars" vibe rather than KPop.

[@ckstay968]

if u notice they have a part of HAKA Dance and the meaning of HAKA Dance based from Google is : The haka is a ceremonial Māori war dance or challenge. Haka are usually performed in a group and represent a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include the stomping of the foot, the protrusion of the tongue and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant.

[@mamag5171]

Check out their Miroh performance on Kingdom as well. Stray Kids never disappoint.

Another song I love. ❤❤❤ When SKZ plays Miroh on a concert, the whole arena is creaming " Stray Kids, wow." This is insane....at Lallapaloosa 63.000 people screamed it and it feels like an earthquake.... BTW. 미로 (miro) ist the korean word for maze. 01st of August is Stay's birthday 😂 I love that you are starting attention to all the details... that's exactly why I'm watching ever mv almost 20 tines to check out everything in the back 😅

[@polyanagula]

thanks for reaction! for the story line I highly recommend to watch a couple of trailers before you watch "side effect", because otherwise you will be confused why the setting is so different. I will try to find the videos I mean and post them as an answer to this comment. "miroh" is pronounced like "meeroh", so it rhymes with "mirror". I think they pronounce this word in the song just once, namely Han says at 13:00 "run through the miro like a beast..." (in the subtitles miro is translated, so you see "run through the maze like a beast). Fun fact: this song was the first music show win for skz. you should watch the video of them accepting the award. most of them them were crying and 3racha were crying the hardest. Han amazed me most of all - he cried non stop, then paused to rap as a god and then proceeded to cry further. professionalism XD Another fun fact: their first music show win was on 4th of April 2019 - or just 4419. and they have a pre-debut song called "4419" :) 0801 (1st of August) is the fandom birthday (when the fandom got its name). 0325 (25th of March) is the skz birthday (official debut). so you will see these numbers a lot.

[@polyanagula]

I tried to post the links, but I think my comment was deleted by youtube. So I before moving to "side effects" I highly recommend to watch 2 videos: "yellow wood trailer" and "side effects teaser 1" - both have a small snippet of the "side effect" the song, but they don't spoil much and are very important for the story line. let me know if you need more precise video names, but I think you will understand which videos I mean when you type in these key words in youtube.

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

[@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3]

Fun Fact: Stay Beverlystreet1982 notes that when SKZ wear uniform jersey numbers are all important dates when you pair up certain ones. Starting with Chan and going down the line in age order: 3, 25, 4, 4, 8, 1, 11, 23 (last set of numbers 11 23 - November 23rd, SKZ first concert tour date)

[@GolyenHighway]

Oh. I'm glad you are noticing so much. SKZ put so much stuff for us to find in every video. I'm glad I've inspired others to look deeper. You noticed the clock with Stay's birthday on it. As others have said, Miro means maze in Korean, and they added the H at the end to denote heaven or hell. Just like with Hellevator, the meaning is up for interpretation of either end. Heaven or hell, your choices determine the path to either. The chant part of the lyrics are heavily inspired from Congo victory songs. The main parts of the choreography is inspired from modern Hakka dances. Notably victory songs as well. You also noticed the slogans that the authority figures had in their parades. "The world is the same." "Something happened, Nothing changed." "Order-Disorder." "There is no Tarzan. CITY JUNGLE." (These are important. Remember them.) The mascot of the authority figures is a lion...Which isn't a Jungle animal. Tigers are, which is why when you hear the tiger roar & see the tiger's face pop out at us, it's with SKZ as the background. They removed the weapons & masks used by security for the authority. We know this, because neither SKZ nor the resistance ever use those. No dog masks, and no weapons. When it first started you see glitches happen behind Felix, and bios code and different images flash in rapid sequence behind him. Only him. Those images are sending a rocket to space, the first areal photos of a large city, war, blueprints for city infrastructure, and time lapses of traffic with the headlights making streamers. So much happens before the song even starts officially. When the song starts, Chan & Seungmin are in a high-rise building looking over the city. The walls & signboard are covered in papers, pictures, and markers. They are tracking people. Noting times & places, making notes on who is missing, where they are meeting, and so forth. When SKZ are with the resistance, they are at street level, but when on their own, they are high above on rooftops. The other songs on the Cle1: Miroh album are so worth checking out, if you want to take a pause to watch them that would be fun. Chronosaurus is in my top five fave songs....It's so haunting. I love it.

[@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3]

Well, some I caught.. Lion vs tiger, haka, eagle cry, mask, clock time, city jungle sign.. some I didn't understand, tracking of people, dog (wolf?) mask, most of the other slogans.. and not at all.. any surrounding Felix in codes or whatever.. More info for the Stayville Library.. Thanks for sharing... love it..

[@GolyenHighway]

@@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 The codes behind Felix are just that. programing codes. As far as I can tell, it's just the codes that would go into building a website. The people they were tracking were the authority figures, and people in the immediate chain of command. The dog masks are symbols for the police. How many times are police likened to attack dogs for authoritarian governments. The slogans are actually for the future. Except for the Tarzan one. Tarzan was the equivalent of a hero for the jungle. So it's saying there's no heroes.

[@criticalhit4582]

Miroh means maze and the album/song concept is basically that they enter the city jungle, which can be taken as a metaphor about their adventure navigating in the competitive kpop space and announcing ”we are here” after the first album trilogy (I Am). That’s why a running theme in this album songs like VS and Miroh is about bravado, confidence and feeling unstoppable. The storyline will continue in the next album Yellow Wood and its lead single, Side Effects

Being the first song to bring Stray Kids an award win, it has something about it that stays in your head. I wasn't convinced by it from the start, nor do I listen to it all that often on my playlists. BUT IT IS UNBEATABLE LIVE!!! I was at a Stray Kids concert during Lollapalooza in Paris, I was quite close to the stage and during this song, that scream of tens of thousands of people "Steay Kids wooo" was unimaginable! What energy!

A little musical background to the song: The woho wohowoho chant that runs along the whole song is a traditionnal song from Africa (I think South Africa, but I'm not 100% sure), And the main parts of the choreo are the Aborogenes' Haka (the one done by the All Blacks New Zealand rugby team before every competition). Those two combined give the song lots of power. On a side note, can't wait to watch I'll be your man again with you :)

[@StaysSlay]

From what I understand and I might be wrong, but following the storyline they have now just achieved self-awareness from the I AM series, and are now on their journey to find the KEY or "Clé", Miroh is the first of the Clé albums. (Key can be interpreted differently, but it could be a key to their dream or real identity as artists) They are now entering the maze (miro in Korean is maze, stylized as Miroh), and while fully aware of their choice to enter it, they are still keeping everything in check (surveillance cameras). Throughout this phase, they are repeatedly saying it's them who ran into the maze and that "they're okay". It could also be interpreted as them reassuring themselves of their choice; because at this point they are so new to everything and are just experiencing all of these for the first time. The maze or city jungle obviously has an established authority or way of living (shown here as men in fancy clothes, the fanfare, etc) controlling everything (throwing money, standing on a podium), this could be a representation of the industry with established formula for success backed by huge sponsors that pretty much controls the artist. And yet, even knowing these, SKZ consciously ran into the city, bravely taking a non-conventional path to their dream (lyrics say "avoiding familiar paths"). On a side note, they incorporated the Haka dance in the choreo, a traditional dance by Māori from New Zealand that is usually performed to acknowledge a challenge, and to show a display of pride as a group.

801 is August one or the day the fandom was called STAY. Miroh (Me-row/ro) is basically "city jungle", playing on MIRO (maze in Korean, also mentioned in their song MIRROR). In my understanding, they're trying to overtake the mainstream or the powerhouses of the industry but they realized that it wasn't doing it for them. They didn't want to be overly influenced by the existing system or be fixated by these norms that in the end they have to keep overturning just to keep their identity or sound (COZ their I AM albums began with escaping the institution that wanted to manufacture them as mimics or clones of the "ideal idols" and are in a quest to find their true selves with their music) It helps to watch the trailers or teasers that is uploaded for the title tracks. So much contextual info when it comes to trying to understand their lore, even I can't follow through HAHAHA) The overall clarification happens after LEVANTER ngl, they have a Highlight reel to summarize their whole beginning before they reintroduce themselves with God's Menu.

Hello! I really admire your reactions and have been following you since you started reacting to SKZ. I’m a “stay” and I always follow our boys’ reactions. I like all of SKZ's songs. I like the melody, but I especially like the lyrics, as they reflect what it is. I identify a lot with the boys and that's why I also identify with their lyrics. Knowing the trajectory and personality of each of them, knowing their joys and difficulties, there is no way not to get involved and identify, which is why there are always some songs that touch us the most. I know you still follow the boys' beginnings, and you can't imagine how much that pleases me, but I'm curious to know how you'll react to some of those "special" songs for me, like "Secret, secret" where Han talks about how feel in relation to his problem - which is mine too - "Silente Cry" the boys' response to Han's song, "Sorry, I love You" and "Because", which Changbin made for Felix and are so beautiful because they expose the problems of so many people I know. And also the experimental "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "Maze of Memories". I hope that later you can react to these songs that are special to me and to many people. Thank you for your reactions.
