You seem to like Lee Know voice so I recommend Levanter, Silent cry, The View and Voice by Stray kids

[@feonix813]

Lee Know: *breathes* Micah: I love him

[@beatrizlima5668]

Is he wrong tho

[@Koko3op]

THIS!!!!!!!!!

[@Nobodys_Nothing]

Same. I know. You know. We know. LEE KNOW!!!!

[@lollie1044]

[@julies319]

Same 😂 What’s not to love?

[@sprotector3235]

Lee know collects kpop reactor like a pokémon 😂

[@natty7639]

I FEEL YOU so much . Lee know is not just main dancer but also such an amazing vocalist, through songs we can see how much his falsettos improve even more. In Taste he also showed it. Now waiting for his solo song too 🔥 it will be a part of Skz records

[@Selush]

I discovered Stray Kids not too long ago but I've since listend to their entire discography and even someone like me, who doesn't really know things about technique etc., can hear very well how much he's improved. Can't wait to see where else he can go with his beautiful voice 🥰 Needless to say that everyone else keeps getting better and better as well, I'm so happy that I found them and can walk along the road with them from now on ❤

[@suhailaibrahim7471]

Around 20:56 the ending part id actually I.N. These color coded lyric’s generally make a lot of mistakes which is pretty annoying to us fans who like watching reaction channels. They usually don’t bother deleting it and fixing their mistakes. But thank you for your reaction!

[@sammie875]

i noticed that too

[@sissi7909]

Han is an ACE. Rap sings dances writes song

[@Nobodys_Nothing]

❤ Lee Know’s voice is so understated and beautiful. ❤

[@emilyaguilar5094]

he is a minsung stan AND I LOVE IT, they are so talented and their voices are beautiful, great video

[@kellmb]

lee know getting the recognition he deserves and im so here for it!

[@yd3216]

Can you believe that Minho was eliminated (but brought back) in SKZ survival show that created him! Like JYP smart for not actually letting that happen LOL he knew Lee Know was just too damn talented.

[@i4linoz11]

I will be honest and say that lee know at that time was weak vocally, and it's understandable considering he had only been a trainee for less than a year and with no experience beforehand. I would rather say that he has evolved and worked on his vocals a lot to reach where he is now. I find that more amazing because it shows the effort that he cares and that he knows he can do it. I will also say that the reason behind the elimination was kind of weird and childish. I would've understood if he did multiple mistakes and that he was really really weak on the vocals, but it was just a last-minute part change (I believe) and he missed the timing of when to start the rapping.

[@kimsstan]

seungmin from levanter era to noeasy era very grew up and skilled it so good

[@suhailaibrahim7471]

Here are some more songs that I suggest for you to get to know Stray Kids more vocally: Silent Cry Another Day Chronosaurus Ex My Universe (Seungmin, I.N ft Changbin) 19

[@ladyshar42]

definitely Silent Cry now that you've done Secret Secret, its the answering song.

[@kittylocket]

I'd also like to add my love Phobia, I still wish we could hear them sing it live one day kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5qynZKXgtJqabs

[@vaishalisharmam]

In "waiting for us", there were some parts between Lee Know and jeongin that were not correctly colored, ending part is done by jeongin.

[@stayluv55]

Leeknow's vocal in tiger inside performance is amaaaazing !!!!

[@skzangel6606]

Changbin's breath control and Han's versatility is ✨✨👑👑

[@rini426]

That part where you were saying who’s that, that was Han harmonizing with his background track in never ending story. He often does that during his live performances ☺️

[@Unicorn-min]

It's so obvious who your favourites are, and well-deserved! :D LK 's vocals doesn't get enough recognition, he also sounds so effortless. He needs to be invited to LMJ next :D Han is an Ace of all Aces, he can do literally anything. The dude is a talent mine. And everyone else are amazing too, they've improved so much over the years. It's so amazing how they are able to carry fantastic live shows singing mostly live while performing their insane dances. Got nothing but respect for SKZ

[@hanasonmi]

It's amazing that you're expressing your honest opinion and show your honest reaction instead of praising them for every breath. As they tend to watch reactions, I believe this kind of reviews will motivate them to work on the things they can improve. I always had this feeling that Seungmin isn't confident about his vocal abilities but I feel like little by little it changes and he works on himself and his confidence. Maybe it happened after the Kingdom MayFly vocal stage where a lot of people praised his vocal. I hope they all will continue improving their vocals and give us even more fascinating performances. It's crazy how much I can relate to Jisung's feelings in terms of exhaustion, anxiety, depression. And today was one of those days when I felt it the most and then I watched your reaction to "Secret Secret" but got carried away with how much I relate to the lyrics. I guess I will go and listen to it and cry lol Also... You're so cute when you like something hehe. Especially at the last chorus of "Neverending Story". I felt your excitement. ^^

[@Koko3op]

Thank you!! Ha yes I do get very excited!

[@MorePara8]

Except when it comes to Minho

[@maxsterpaulus6433]

One thing about Stray Kids that I find is remarkable is that their progress in vocals is astounding. You really can’t deny they’d polish it continuously through the years, and progressively get better and better. Thanks for the reaction Micah! 🙆🏻‍♂️

[@rightright2810]

The lyrics in secret secret is so depressing😭han jisung‘s song always hit me

[@Rockamock]

I love how much love you have for Lee Know and Han’s vocals. Bang Chan also has a warmth to his voice that I always look forward to. If you haven’t yet, check out Winter Falls. And Seungmin x Han’s Zombie cover.

[@JSKZG]

I kept rewinding to where you praised Seungmin on Secret Secret. I LOVE Seungmin and his voice. He has put SO MUCH effort into his singing, his range and his voice. Thank you. Have you heard his song Here Always....he sang an episode song for a Kpop drama called Hometown Cha Cha Cha - it makes me cry. One of my favorites.

[@mia5000]

first of all minho appreciation god yes i agree on every single thing u say im so glad he debuted as an idol and didnt just become a dancer cus he got VOCALS. second of all how are u pointing out all those things ive never noticed and them im like omg so true. and im obsessed with seungmin vocals hes a SINGER

[@shinigamis_like_apples4797]

I find it so fun that you made a comment on what you wanted to see from them and then 5 seconds later, you got exactly what you asked for 😂Like seungmin getting more runs and belting opportunities in their songs, how you wanted never ending stories last chorus to have harmonies and ad libs to it. How you said their voices would work well with rock and asked if they had a rock song (and then the next song you listened to was a 2000 pop rock)😂It was perplexingly satisfying to see them grant your wishes in subsequent order lmao They have other more more rock sounding songs too, like Time out (if you want punk rock to the max! check it out)

[@Koko3op]

Hahshs yeah things like that make doing this so fun! It’s such a magical thing

[@alhanbraga64]

Lino's rap is warm and cozy rap

[@rhiennemanuel]

Waaaahhhhh... I so agree with your comments about Han Jisung's vocal range.

[@ninacastro5664]

Please react to their most recent releases from Skz replay album. They all have solo songs, Lee Know's solo is called Limbo and his vocals have improved so much in that song.

[@straykidsknow4350]

25:56 I get you I explain it to my friends as like the sounds are coming up on their own, bubbling up like a calm volcano or spring from Lee Know and with Seungmin it’s like he is the one pulling up and pushing out the sounds. Two different approaches and powers but both very good. I’m a goner for Lee Know though. Bc I deep dived into their reality shows and the dude is just so effortlessly funny and real and relatable and the perfect amount of weird.

[@nakumartay]

Thank you for this! As a Han ult I can never get enough of people appreciating his vocals! 😍

[@jayltee]

Han is absolutely amazing. Incredibly well controlled voice with range and such a beautiful tone.

[@yeolinskis]

Thank you for noticing minho! He's extremely underrated and I think he's constantly pushed sideways, but he's an extremely talented dude! 💖💖

[@zoelagoblina3138]

watching this made me realize HOW CRAZY TALENTED Han is sheesh

[@moopotatokimchi]

I remember when Neverending Story first dropped. It was there first song that dropped AFTER Woojin left the group. It blew everyone away because for so long, Woojin had been the main vocal 'carry' in the group. And a lot of stay were unsure how the gaps would get filled in. And then they dropped this and everyone just popped off. Seungmin came out from behind a spotlight, but Han just SNAPPED in the best way possible. And I remember everyone was shook because this was the first REAL time they let MINHO do big vocals. I am so glad this song exists. I literal had it, and it alone, on repeat for almost a week until my family literally came up and said..."They make other songs. Chose one please."

[@michaelaroskova4793]

Thank you for this video. They are known as a group with amazing rapline (not lie tho) but their vocals are strong as well. Also, thanks for complimanting Han's vocals cuz'... well he deserves it plus he's my bias haha Yes, Changbin is the strongest rapper in my opinion as well, close second being Han. Changbin's tone, flow, wordplay and lyrics are amazing while Han is so quick with freestyle, he also have usually crazy flow and lyrics. Yeah, if yuo didn't notice, Binnie is my number 1 wrecker lol When I look at live performances where they have to dance and sing multiple songs, I think that Binnie, Seungmin, Han and Chan are the strongest. The rest is great too, don't get me wrong but it's just what i've noticed. All of them are getting better & better and I'm so proud.

[@Selande3]

Thank you for these! Very interesting insights. I love Changbin's vocals and rap and it's so interesting to hear your take on him.

[@Koko3op]

Thank you!

[@bun.5448]

Gone Days is a pretty good look into Han's, Seungmin, and IN's vocals if you have not checked that out already. :) It's definitely one of my favorites

[@Ari_StrawBerryCake]

Please react to Lee Knows Tiger inside fancam, he sounds amazing there

[@angieroyalanggraini2968]

It's IN who sings the last line on Waiting For Us while leeknow at the back harmonizing/adlibing.

[@maddieruss1998]

If you’re interested in seeing each members vocals, composing, and lyric writing skills they just put out singles on their new album SKZ Replay. Each of them had a huge hand in their individual songs and you can hear their different colors so clearly. I have to say Limbo by Lee Know was BY FAR my favorite, his singing skills blew me away, truly. Thanks for all of your SKZ reactions, looking forward to the next!

[@jaeger_ren]

I highly suggest exploring some of Seungmin's solo works! His rendition (alongside BTOB Eunkwang and ATEEZ Jongho) of IU's "Love Poem" is absolutely breath-taking. You really get a chance to see him shine vocally! He also released his track "Stars and Raindrops" in their latest album release "SKZ Replay". His cover of Justin Bieber's "GHOST" is really good as well. I was really pleased with Stray Kids' "Secret Secret" first take performance, though. We really got the opportunity to see Seungmin shine there and that's when he became my bias alongside Lee Know.

[@elenapicco1412]

i’m loving this deep dive into stray kids, sorry i love you has been claimed by queer stays and if you noticed there’s no gender indication, and obviously it was written by changbin (y’all have no idea how much i love that man), secret secret was written by han and it is a little masterpiece as well. i’d say changbin and han are probably on the same level in term of rap abilities, i personally prefer changbin’s delivery tho and his husky voice may be one of the reasons. my favourite track off of the noeasy album is silent cry, an emotional bop with the most thirsty choreo they could think of lol

[@Koko3op]

Ooooo love this!

[@Lola-Stay-LeeKnow]

Thanks for ur reaction and appreciate lee know voice.. i like his voice too in skz..

[@gladishernandez5102]

Wow !! What a selection you had!! Are you ready for another round?? Try Scars, Another day, Silent cry (they made this song to answer Han his song "Secret secret", Slump, and Chronosaurus. They are awesome!!

[@bodaramji9800]

I am like you. I love lee know and his beautiful voice

[@dy0saaaaa121]

I really appreciate you for reacting to Stray Kids 💕 Thank you 😊

[@oppasjewel2983]

You definitely have to check out Lee Know's first Solo "Limbo". I cry whenever I listen to it, his vocals are so beautiful

[@TaliStay242]

You should check out their Skz Records/Players! Because I Like You by Changbin&Felix Piece by Changbin and Seungmin Alien, Wish You Back, Close, Happy by Han Hate to Admit by Bang Chan I.N's cover of a song where he's holding flowers in the thumbnail Little Star, ice.cream, by Hyunjin Lovestay by Hyunjin, Felix, and Jeongin Ghost cover by Seungmin These are their album songs: Ex, Chronosaurus (don't react to the old one with the ex member, there's a rewritten version in Skz2020) 3rd Eye (Skz2021 version) or you can find where they sang it live I Am You ballad version TMT Young Wings/Spread My Wings

[@tori5051]

I'm loving these Stray Kids reactions, thank you ❤️

[@Jisung1e]

SKZ vocals are so satisfying I looove watching reviews that really focus more on their vocal range Thank u!

[@noaristotle611]

thank you so much for the han appreciation! i've been seeing so many hate comments saying "han can't sing" "he strains all his notes" and "seungmin is the only vocalist in skz" but this video really made my day

[@creamiceandsugar]

so happy lee know finally got a solo song i can listen to on repeat lmao i love how he sings!

[@tarteel268]

They just dropped a casual 25 songs album that has some new solos of all of them, would love your reaction to Lee Know's solo 'Limbo'

[@ruhainadumato2823]

Thank you so much for your reaction to straykids❣️ I loved all these songs,and I teared watching it,👏👏👏👏

[@twinxbee7660]

Came back. 7:03 is the perfect harmony. One of my favorite😊. Han is our all-rounder, though all of them are all rounder, actually. I played it many times when I first heard saw this live. The kingdom "I'll be your man" as well. Ugh. The harmony is so good

[@marthaferguson2799]

Neverending Story is my absolute favorite ❤

[@lilybminho]

Lee Know will release a solo song called Limbo tomorrow. Pls react to it!

[@twinxbee7660]

I got addicted to your reactions. The way you pinpoint every detail. And big thank you for your appreciation of Lee Know's voice. Lee know is more disciplined and controlled when he sings and dances.

[@Purple_Fox_LSA]

That ending note for waiting for you was IN!☺️

[@_e.romher]

I love you reacting to their ballads and breaking it down

[@cindymckinney2895]

3 other really gorgeous vocal heavy skz songs: Time Out (indie rock), Slump (perhaps their most beautiful vocals - look for the First Take version), Scars (just a beautiful performance - also a First Take). Make it 4. The First Take version of Oh is also quite nice.

[@MorePara8]

I'd say Time Out isn't indie rock at all, I'd say early 2000 pop-rock. Also I think the reactions on The First Take were already uploaded

[@meliss21.]

Lee know will release a solo song called Limbo tomorrow. pls react to it. i will waiting

[@f3lixie]

Skz replay just dropped and it has solo songs from each of the members! I'd be really interested to see your reaction to 'Deep End' be Felix just because this is probably the first time he's sang a whole song. I just know you'll absolutely love "Limbo" by Lino!!! I hope you react to 'Stars and Raindrops' (by seungmin) and 'Hug' (by I.N) too! Loved you reaction!

[@user-ow1cs5zi9j]

another skz song with a big vocal climax is phobia !

[@Nobodys_Nothing]

I don’t dance. Ever. Except maybe when I’m driving and it’s just bouncing and clapping lol but when I do it’s usually to Blueprint. Something about that song makes me so happy and I can’t sit still.

[@КираМихалева-с4р]

Yeah, Han is really good at both rapping and singing, and singing in both low and high tones. He has a really wide range. That’s why they call him “the ace of K-pop”

[@ximenaaranda3724]

We need video reaction Lee Know fancam of Tiger inside pleaseeee

OMGG YES!! Wish he did more !

[@nrssp5785]

I was about to comment about the Neverending Story mv you pulled up at first. The first Mv you pulled up was fan made + Neverending Story was their first release after Woojin left. I’m glad you pulled up the live version

[@moopotatokimchi]

Did you know Lee Know was a background dancer for BTS on one of their Japanese tours? Theres a super cute video out there of some of BTS watching him at one of the big award shows a few years back, and they had the widest smiles for his success and his opportunity to be on a stage as a group member. I would love to see a BTS/SKZ collab SO MUCH.

[@Koko3op]

I did!

[@sumino3999]

WOW as a Leeknower myself I NEED your reaction to LKs new solo Limbo :D (full Album too... :DD ) but just in case for you to know. He knows that the ending of his song is triggering, but this is exactly why he did it this way. a typical Lee Know Move lololol

[@mett245h]

You should definitely check out Gone away, I think it is one of their only proper ballads I would also recommend their Secret Secret live stage, it's so good

[@polina2297]

Not sure if you've reacted to chronosaurus... But I love that song and there's some harmonizing 👍

[@isa-nf6dv]

You should react to lee know's solo song limbo! it just released and its all vocals, actually most of the entire album is😊

[@beevonerd]

I know exactly what sound you wanted in that chorus. A western group would've gone there w the vocals. Say like an NSYNC, you know those layers would've been STACKED and soaring. They do sound amazing, tho. 🖤🌺

[@sh-ye3kz]

[@valeriyav2149]

I come here to appreciate Lee Know's beautiful and clear vocals. His tone is so sweet

[@Akkarri]

You talk again about Seungmin not finishing his notes and supporting it enough. But that is precisely what I love about his singing and what most of us love. I love that technique, or anti-technique lol. And on the contrary I find almost no one manages to do that since it's actually hard if you try it. I feel like too many ppl try to sing perfectly and I just love it when he does those imperfect notes and it's generally on purpose Fully agree with you about Lee Know, he is amazing. In older songs he rarely shines or tries to stand out. In later songs though he sometimes does that really powerful push which is just amazing. I also love the way his voice "loses strength" the most. He sounds great when he transitions from loud back to normal which mamy ppl struggle with or sound too forced or too flat I feel

[@straykidsknow4350]

4:08 same! I’m always like oh wow i love him. Lee Know is Soo smooth. Also very on point on your observation that’s Seungmin sometimes sounds like he forces or throws out some notes.

[@rudikfan1054]

A lot of people have given good recommendations for vocal songs, I'll just focus on more rock-based songs ranging from late 90s-style soft rock ballads to 2000s-style pop rock to pop punk and beyond: Chronosaurus, Awaken, Rock, Lonely St., Ya Ya Ya and Time Out are all clearly rock (all except Awaken and Ya Ya Ya have mvs), My Pace, Cheese, Mirror, Voices and Super Board have clear rock influences (all have mvs). Out of their Skz-records/players, Hyunjin's ice.cream is very indie, and the Seungmin/Changbin duet Piece also has some rock vibes.

[@irmalouca]

i thought what you said about IN was interesting. i'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how IN's voice has grown. to me, it seems like he has improved significantly in their 2022 albums.
